摘要:

While it is generally recognized that NPs offer affordable, quality health care, few studies have measured outcomes of clients who seek primary care services from NPs. This pilot study describes the outcomes of children with otitis media who received care from NPs employed in an academic nursing center. Outcome measurements included issues related to timing, level of analysis, and attribution. Parents of 27 children participated in a telephone survey consisting of seven questions relating to the care their children received from NPs and their recovery path. Although every respondent reported having a positive visit at the nursing center, concerns for NPs surfaced during the process of measuring outcomes. This study emphasizes the need for measuring outcomes in nursing clinics and demonstrates one way to measure client outcomes, revealing both general health care and specific nursing practice implications.
