A complete care record can be used to 'be a document for communication, studying, researching, evaluation, and the evidence of law. Ninety percent of the general surgery patients admitted in hospital having wounds. So it is necessary for staff to emphasis on continuing observation and care. Both of the wound infection and healing process are important factors which influence the length of stay in the hospital. Therefore the completeness and consistence of a care record are the key points. This project started from 3-12,1997 to 6-25,1997. The authors used "wound care checklist" which passed the great utility and reliability test to examine the nurses' the cognitive about wound nursing. The authors also use "wound care checklist" to evaluate the completeness of evaluation record. The results were that the degree of nursing cognitive reaches 92.6@ but the completeness of nursing record only reaches 31%. Due to above survey, the authors designed the standard form of general surgery wound care record according to the concept of NADNA 's damage of tissue completeness to advance the completeness of care record. It processed evaluation and data collected by using purpose sample to nurses in some surgery ward of medicine center in north Taiwan. In the process of analysis, two-sample t-test and paired t-test were used to alanyze the completeness, and found that the completed rate increased from 31% to 87.7 % and the record time reduced from 4.3 minutes to 3.1 minutes. These are significant difference in statistics. As the result, we find that the standard of general surgery wound nursing record will increase the completeness of record and saving time.
