Quantifying psychosocial nursing interventions provided to geropsychiatric inpatients.

The purpose of this pilot study was to develop and test the Geropsychiatric Intervention Checklist (GPIC), a measure designed to quantify psychosocial nursing interventions provided to persons on a geropsychiatric inpatient unit (N = 48). Data were collected by nursing staff, using self-report methods. This pilot study lays the foundation for future research designed to examine the impact of nursing interventions on geropsychiatric inpatient outcomes.
