Nursing assessment in industry

P. Serafini

American Journal of Public Health, 1976, vol. 66, issue 8, 755-760

Abstract: In order to be able to offer nursing service to industry, a community health agency must have some knowledge of the industry and the daily problems faced by both management and worker. The nursing process can serve as a framework for the gathering of necessary information and planning of sound care. The five step nursing process, which includes assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation, is discussed and an annotated model Assessment Guide for Nursing in Industry is given (Appendix A). The six areas from which information should be gathered when assessing an industry are the following: I. The community in which the industry is located; II. The industry, its historical development, policies, and projections; III. The plant or physical structure; IV. The working population; V. The industrial process of the plant; VI. The existing health program. Once the assessment is completed and a diagnosis formulated, services can be offered based on specific, defined needs.
