3 Data Analysis and Diagnosis in Community Nursing Care
Analysis of community nursing data is an important part of community nursing care. The purpose of community data analysis is to identify and classify community data based on data sources. Data collected in the community nursing assessment can be obtained by interviews, questionnaires, observations, and examinations (IPPKI, n.d.). From these data, data analysis is then carried out with several stages consisting of categorization, summary, comparison, and conclusions. Categorization is the first stage in data analysis. Data can be categorized in various ways. In communities, categorization of assessment data may include (1) demographic characteristics (family composition, age, sex, ethnicity, and racial group), (2) geographical characteristics (boundaries, number and size of family heads, public spaces, and roads), (3) socio-economic characteristics (occupation and type of work, level of education, and patterns of home ownership), (4) sources and health services (hospitals, health centers, clinics, mental health centers, etc.). After categorizing the data, the next stage is a summary which aims to summarize the data in each category. Summary statements are presented in the form of measurements such as quantities, charts and graphs (IPPKI, n.d.). Another stage is comparison. Comparisons in data analysis aim to identify gaps, discrepancies, discrepancies, and lack/loss of data. Comparative data is needed to determine the existing patterns and trends, if the data is felt to be incorrect then it needs to be re-validated with the original data (IPPKI, n.d.). The final stage is conclusions. After categorizing, summarizing, and comparing, the final stage makes logical conclusions. Logical conclusions must be formulated from existing data to lead to the diagnosis of community nursing. The end result of data analysis is the diagnosis of community nursing. Community nursing diagnosis is done by identifying the problem, etiology, signs of community nursing diagnosis. Then, the community nursing diagnosis formulation was carried out with the correct formulation. Reference
