Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to construct an assessment model to prevent pain, agitation, and delirium from patients in intensive care unit (ICU). We requested the directors of nursing service depart from 253 institutions which has certified medical specialists to participate in the study. 109 institutions have agreed to participate with a total of 2,531 nurses who received the survey and 1,133 have responded. The survey was about the years of experience, nursing certification, the pain, agitation, and delirium scale used, cognition of the pain, agitation, and delirium, and kind of nursing care provided. By this time, the significant difference among nursing certification and general nurses is revealed however, the construction of the assessment model is still on going.
