“…Some attempts have been made by Hubley (1982) and Drennan (1990a,b) to analyse the nurses' workload and caseload in relation to quality of care. On the other hand, Hegyvary & Haussman (1976) and Clark (1983) propose that an important valid measurement of quality of nursing care is that which focuses on the actual nursing performed in the delivery of care to a patient. Indeed, the process approach is particularly useful in determining which aspects of care require further improvement.…”

An ageing population, shorter periods of hospitalization, and advances in medical technology have meant that community nurses have become increasingly confronted with patients demanding skilled and specialized nursing care. The quality of care provided by 47 general and eight specialized community nurses was studied in a group of 115 patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) after discharge from hospital. Four process variables were studied: the content of the home visit, the time spent on the home visit, the quality of the report, and the number of home visits. Results show that the content of the home visit differed between general and specialized community nurses. General nurses were more focused on analysing care needs and specialized nurses paid more attention to psycho-social problems. The number of home visits and the time spent on the care provided did not differ significantly between both groups. The quality of the report of specialized nurses was significantly higher. In conclusion, specialized community nurses demonstrated a higher clinical competence in the care of patients with COPD. Further research is required to conclude whether positive changes in nursing process result in positive patient outcomes.

“…Many confounding variables that may influence the quality of nursing care make it difficult to evaluate the outcome (Hogston, 1995;cited from Young, 1997). Hegyvary and Haussmann (1975) proposed that the most valid measure of the quality of nursing care is focused on the nursing activities performed in the actual delivery of nursing care to the individual patient: the process model of patient care. Pearson (1987) pointed out that experienced nursing staff from a different unit do the quality evaluation more reliably than a manager or non-nursing staff of the audited unit.…”

“…It contained six objectives, 21 sub-objectives and 257 criteria centred on the performance of each component of nursing process. The RMT-MQNC was designed to be used with a patient classification system according to the patient's acuity level (Hegyvary and Haussmann, 1975). This tool has received much attention in the literature and is seen as one of the most popular instruments for evaluation of the quality of nursing care.…”
