Abstract

The use of nursing process in practice is the core essence of professional nursing. However its implementation in low and middle income countries is poor. This study aims to evaluate Nurses’ knowledge, attitude and perceived barrier towards the implementation of nursing process at a general hospital in Lagos State, Nigeria. This is a descriptive research design which utilized quota sampling method to recruit 110 nurses who are active and currently in service. Ethical approval as well as consent of participants was obtained. Questionnaires were used to obtain information from the respondents. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 17.0. version). Inferential statistics of chi-square was used to test study hypothesis. Study findings revealed that nurses have good knowledge of nursing process; however its use in practice is within average level. Also both positive and negative attitude was identified. Some perceived barriers which hindered nursing process implementation among nurses included those identified within institutional factors, knowledge and experience factor, demographic factors, social and cultural factors. There is need to intensify seminars and workshops organised on nursing process in order to enhance nurses’ knowledge on the use of nursing process. Appropriate measures should be put in place for constant evaluation of knowledge gained as well as its implementation.
