摘要:

In this article, the data structures and reasoning methodologies of FLORENCE, an expert system that advises on the identification of nursing diagnoses in a new client, are described. FLORENCE is primarily a case-based reasoning system, but has an ancillary model-based reasoning system to advise on complex problems. The use of multiple reasoning methods allows for better simulation of the reasoning process of the expert clinician.

摘要:

This article describes a database design that captures responses in a HyperCard™stack and moves the data to SPSS™for the Macintosh without the need to rekey data. Pregnant women used an interactive computer application with a touch screen to answer questions and receive educational information about fetal alcohol syndrome. A database design was created to capture survey responses through interaction with a computer by a sample of prenatal women during formative evaluation trials. The author does not compare this method of data collection to other methods. This article simply describes the method of data collection as a useful research tool.

摘要:

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between computer-based clinical simulation performance and two commonly used methods of evaluation: cognitive examination and self-evaluation of expertise. The convenience sample of 68 critical care nurses completed the Basic Knowledge Assessment Tool for Critical Care (BKAT), a cardiovascular self-assessment tool [CST], and two computer-based clinical simulations requiring the management of myocardial infarction patients with tachydysrhythmias (atrial flutter and ventricular tachycardia). Simulation performance was measured by proficiency score and patient outcome (live/die). Proficiency on the atrial simulation was significantly correlated with knowledge as measured by the BKAT [r=0.4B, p 0.001) and with self-evaluation of clinical expertise [r=0.32, p=0.008). Atrial patient outcome was also significantly correlated with the BKAT [r=0.28, p=0.006) and the CST score (r=0.22, p=0.036). However, in the ventricular simulation only proficiency score and self-evaluation of expertise were significantly correlated [r=0.24, p=0.049). The modest relationships found in this study may indicate that, while clinical simulation performance is related to knowledge and self-evaluation of expertise, the constructs measured are not synonymous. This evidence provides support for the use of clinical simulations as an adjunct to other methods of evaluation.

摘要:

In this article, the development and uses of EXTEND (Expert system for Education in Nursing Diagnosis), a computer assisted instruction package for teaching nursing diagnosis using the categories proposed by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, are described. EXTEND provides a knowledge base that is able to deduce a nursing diagnosis from case factors and extends the normal use of expert systems beyond diagnosis to diagnosis education by providing answers to student questions about a simulated client and by guiding them through the diagnositc task. Furthermore, EXTEND allows the teacher to record the steps taken by students in the assessment and diagnosis of the simulated client, and use this as the focus of further discussion. The system is a response to the problems of teaching nursing diagnoses cited in the professional literature.
