ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to develop a computer decision making support system that enables nurses to utilize the computer in selecting the best decision for pain management for patients with dementia institutionalized in nursing homes.METHODS:
To formulate the protocol for the management of patients' pain, the researcher analyzed content of interviews with 30 nurses in three nursing homes and an expert group. A decision support computer program was formalized based on existing protocols. To evaluate the effectiveness and applicability of the system, analysis of data on patient pain management and nurse satisfaction with the system were done after the formalized decision support computer program was complete.RESULTS:
The decision support computer program for pain management for institutionalized patients with dementia was finalized after adjustments following the evaluation. Nurse satisfaction with the program was moderate. It also provided opportunity to reassess thinking about pain and pain management.CONCLUSIONS:
The results indicate that this program provides nurses with useful knowledge for pain management in institutionalized patients with dementia and aids in decision making in nursing practice in nursing home.
