Abstract
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of nursing classification based on Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores to improve the quality of nursing care.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Methods: This study was conducted from April 2023 to April 2024, involving a total of 570 older urological patients. The study assessed the level of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores and examined the factors influencing ADL through linear regression analysis. Additionally, the correlation between ADL scores and the quality of nursing classification was analysed.
Results: The ADL scores were significantly associated with the risk of pressure ulcers, venous and falling. Patients were graded based on their ADL scores, revealing that higher ADL scores corresponded to higher quality nursing classification scores.
Public contribution: In the process of treatment, the implementation of nursing classification should be based on the ADL scale so that it can significantly enhance the quality of nursing care, ensure patient safety, reduce the incidence of complications during hospitalisation, optimise the utilisation of nursing human resources and improve patient satisfaction.
