Abstract:
Introduction: Nursing documentation is part of the patient’s medical documentation. It allows
documenting the nursing care provided and at the same time gives much important information that
healthcare professionals need to share among themselves.
Aim: The aim of the research survey was to develop a draft of nursing documentation for patients
from minority groups based on established specificities that may affect the care provided to
members of minority groups.
Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted in order to determine the specifics of the
selected minority groups. Questions for the semi-structured interview were compiled according to
Larry D. Purnell’s Model of Cultural Competence. The areas that appeared most “problematic” in
providing nursing care to patients – members of minority groups in healthcare facilities in the
Czech Republic were identified based on open coding. In addition, a draft of nursing documentation
was created based upon the results of interviews and using the Model of Cultural Competences as
one of the inputs.
Results: The following categories were included in the above-mentioned nursing documentation:
communication, family, abuse, nutrition, spirituality, health care practices, care providers,
pregnancy.
Conclusion: The draft nursing documentation is such a tool that can be used for a quick and clear
mapping and recording of the specifics in the various areas under consideration. The final form of
nursing documentation for clients from minority groups in population is currently being reviewed
for user-friendliness.
