Sažetak

Introduction: Nursing documentation is a set of documents that a nurse fills in or records in
them information about her actions during the entire care process, with the purpose of
systematic monitoring of the state of the individual, family and community, planning,
evaluation and control of what has been done. Nurses/technicians and midwives are becoming
more aware of the need for documentation because it represents stability and security on the
way to developing the profile of professional titles into recognized professions.
Aim: The main objective of this research is to determine the existence of a connection
between the level of education of nurses / midwives and the opinion on the application of
existing documentation.
Materials and methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the beginning of 2024 in
the County Hospital “Dr. fra Mihovil Sučić” Livno, Livno Health Center, Tomislavgrad
Health Center and Mostar University Clinical Hospital. The research was conducted on a
sample of 80 participants. For the purposes of the research, a survey questionnaire was used,
taken from the author of the paper “Attitudes of nurses and midwives about electronic nursing
documentation in perinatological practice”, Car D., the use of which was requested and
obtained, and adapted for the needs of this paper.
Results: The results of this study did not establish a statistically significant difference in
opinion regarding the application of existing documentation in nursing and midwifery with
regard to the level of education. Nurses/technicians and midwives with a bachelor’s degree
believe that nursing documentation is better managed by nurses/technicians and midwives
with a higher level of education, and that nurses/technicians and midwives with high school
education attach too little importance to nursing documentation.
Conclusion: Healthcare professionals consider nursing and midwifery documentation to be
important for overall care. There is no significant difference in opinion regarding the
application of existing documentation in nursing and midwifery, based on the level of
education.
