Abstract

Poor internet infrastructure limits the use of computer-based nursing process forms in rural areas. This study aimed to configure a computer‑based nursing process form to support nursing diagnosis and care evaluation in rural healthcare clinics in Africa. This study utilized a methodological design. The design process utilized a three-stage procedure involving planning, configuration, and testing. Seven faculty members volunteered to participate in the laboratory verification process. Each simulation session lasted 45 min and span from patient admission to exit. The experts independently scored the software functionality dichotomously as Not Suitable (score 0) and Suitable (score 1) for nursing practice. The agreement between the faculty volunteers was 0.857. The configuration of a readily available Microsoft Access computer application to support nursing diagnosis without internet service is possible. Health facilities in rural areas without internet connectivity should resort to such local configurations to maximize the benefits of electronic‑based documentation.

  • Various educational software programs have been developed to improve learners' efficiency in practicing patient care, performing accurate nursing diagnoses, and identifying patient conditions.

    “Following this theory, various educational software programs have been developed to improve learners’ efficiency in practicing patient care [7], performing accurate nursing diagnoses [8], and identifying patient conditions [9].”

    From Effects of a generative AI-assisted ADPIE Framework on critical thinking, learning self-efficacy, and clinical reasoning in nursing education: a quasi-experimental study (2026) · cites this paper as [8]

    The Introduction describes computer-based tools that suggest nursing diagnoses, and the Conclusions say the authors configured a diagnosis-suggesting form. This supports the development of software for nursing diagnosis, the part attached to citation [8]. It does not establish that the software is educational or improves learners’ diagnostic accuracy: Materials and methods (Step 3: testing) reports faculty suitability feedback and says no clinical validation was done.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
