Abstract:

Patient repositioning reflects the quality of care in pressure ulcer prevention. It reflects an adverse effect as a reason for a working related low back pain among Nurses. Nursing knowledge did not provide an agreement of how the patients repositioning exactly looks like or what are the set of behaviours to reflect the happening in the clinical area. Also, the patient repositioning is not included in the nursing intervention classification (NIC) or got a unified definitions. Currently, repositioning in risk to shift out of nursing is taken by other domain. So, analyse the patient repositioning concept in nursing context is a must to remove the complicated repositioning relations by following Walker and Avant (2011) and analyse the applied instruments in measuring the repositioning. Searching in Ebsco, CINAHL for studies investigate repositioning. 39 articles met the criteria and analysed for the repositioning definitions and the applied tool. There are four defining attributes for assessing the Planning for the turn, turning the patient patients. And document the process. Also, the antecedents are: legible patients, a qualified nurse, and the suitable environment. Exist the repositioning in realities will lead to consequences for patients, nurses and the organization. Also, there are four methods to measure the repositioning: observation, either direct or by using the technologies. Chart review, survey either for patients or nurses or by observing the effects of the repositioning on pressure ulcer rate. Some experts applied two methods. Relay on survey to measure the repositioning is in risk for bias. Also, the analyses support more than one methods of measuring of the repositioning. The implication in the nursing education is by enhancing the need to revise the nursing curricula. On administration, the analysis raise up new questions in the quality of care. Repositioning analysis will advance the need for further research to eliminate the adverse effects and maximize the benefits.
