The Effectiveness of Nursing Documentation Training on Nurse's Knowledge about SDKI, SLKI, and SIKI)

Abstract

Good and correct nursing documentation is important to be able to meet the medico-legal requirements of nursing practice. Beside that, there is evidence indicating that nursing documentation is associated with patient mortality. Several factors that influence nursing documentation are patient burden, lack of time, lack of knowledge and training. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of 3S-based (SDKI, SLKI, SIKI) nursing documentation training on the level of knowledge of nurses. The research method used is quasi-experimental with one-group pre-test post-test design approach. There are 150 nurses in a hospital in Central Java who participate in this study. The sampling technique used was total sampling method. The results showed that the average level of pre-test knowledge was 38.05, and post-test was 65.51. Data analysis using t-test obtained the p-value 0.000 (<0.05). Nursing documentation training is effective in increasing the knowledge and ability of nurses in documenting nursing care using 3S.
