Add the nursing force shortage related to india , Hyderabad n NIMS.The shortage of

nurses in the United States, currently estimated at 200,000, is projected to grow

to 800,000 by 2020. (American Association of State Colleges and Universities,

2005) In addition to recruitment problems, there is difficulty in retaining

individuals in the profession.

SECTION III

Chi-square association of selected demographic variables with the

knowledge and practice scores regarding “documentation of patient care”

among nurses.

This section presents the findings on the relationship between the

knowledge of nurses on documentation of patient care with selected

demographic variables and relationship between the practices of nurses on

documentation of patient care with selected demographic variables.

To test the null hypothesis for knowledge, the null hypothesis are stated as

follows

H01: There will be no significant association between the age of nurses and

their knowledge about “documentation of patient care”.

H02: There will be no significant association between the sex of nurses and

their knowledge about “documentation of patient care”.

H03: There will be no significant association between the professional

qualification of nurses and their knowledge about “documentation of patient

care”.

H04: There will be no significant association between the designation of nurses

and their knowledge about “documentation of patient care”.

H05: There will be no significant association between the total years of work

experience of nurses and their knowledge about “documentation of patient

care”.

H06: There will be no significant association between the current area of work

experience of nurses and their knowledge about “documentation of patient

care”.

H07: There will be no significant association between the attending in-service

education program by nurses and their knowledge about “documentation of patient care”.



H08: There will be no significant association between the demands for

completing patient documentation extend or work beyond scheduled work hours

by nurses and their knowledge about “documentation of patient care”.

H09: There will be no significant association between the factors that inhibit

documentation of patient care by nurses and their knowledge about

“documentation of patient care”.

The Chi – square values of knowledge for age (2 = 52.824), sex (2 =

14.822), professional qualification (2 = 35.441), designation (2 = 33.607),

total years of work experience (2 = 36.198), current area of work experience

(2 = 20.812), attending in-service education program (2 = 11.371) and factors

that facilitate documentation of patient care (2 = 35.690) were found

significant at 5% level of significance. Hence, there was significant relationship

between the knowledge of nurses regarding documentation of patient care and

their age, sex, professional qualification, designation, total years of work

experience, current area of work experience, attending in-service education

program and factors that facilitate documentation of patient care.

Demands for completing patient documentation extend or work beyond

scheduled work hours (2 = 11.821) and factors that inhibit documentation of

patient care (2 = 5.582) were not significant at 0.05%level of significance.

The above table shows that Chi – square values of nurses practices

regarding documentation of patient care with selected variables, age (2 =2.910), sex (2 = 2.664), professional qualification (2 = 1.320), total years of

work experience (2 = 3.233), attending in-service education program (2 =

.059), demands for completing patient documentation extend or work beyond

scheduled work hours (2 = 5.880), factors that inhibit documentation of patient

care (2 = 3.835), and factors that facilitate documentation of patient care (2 =

7.817), were not significant at 0.05%level of significance.

Therefore the researcher has accepted the null hypothesis H01, H02, H03,

H04, H05, H07, H08, H9 and H010. Their by researcher has rejected the researchhypothesis for the same variables.

The chi – square values of nurse’s practices regarding documentation of

patient care with selected variable, current area of work experience (2 =

36.973) was found significant at 5% level of significance.

Hence, researcher rejected the null hypotheses i.e. H06, and there by

accepted research hypotheses for the same variables.

The Chi – square values of practices and age (2 = 2.910), sex (2 = 2.664),

professional qualification (2 = 1.320),designation (2 =6.516 ), total years of

work experience (2 = 3.233), attending in-service education program (2 =

.059), demands for completing patient documentation extend or work beyond

scheduled work hours (2 = 5.880), factors that inhibit documentation of patient

care (2 = 3.835), and factors that facilitate documentation of patient care (2 =

7.817), were not significant at 0.05%level of significance.

Current area of work experience (2 = 36.973) was found significant at 5%

level of significance. Hence, there was significant relationship between the

practices of nurses regarding documentation of patient care and current area of

work experience.

Hence, there is no significant relationship existing between the practices of

nurses regarding documentation of patient care and age, sex, professional

qualification, total years of work experience, attending in-service education

program, demands for completing patient documentation extend or work



beyond scheduled work hours, factors that inhibit documentation of patient care

and factors that facilitate documentation of patient care.
