Uses, Perceptions and Conditions of Appropriation of the Nursing Care File: Analysis of the Cognitive, Affective and Conative Dimensions Among Trainee Nurses in the Medical-Surgical Care Services at the Treichville University Hospital Center - Abidjan
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the conditions of appropriation of the Nursing Care Record (DSI) by health professionals in Côte d'Ivoire, by mobilizing a theoretical framework articulated around the cognitive, affective and conative dimensions. Based on a mixed methodology combining a documentary review, semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire survey among trainee nurses at the Treichville University Hospital, the results show that initial and continuing training, the organizational climate and the perception of the DSI as a support or control tool strongly influence uses. Good training promotes rigorous and collaborative professional mobilization, while the lack of preparation generates fears, mistrust or rejection. The nursing care record thus appears as a social and professional object with differentiated uses, revealing structural inequalities in the hospital environment. The limitations of the sample call for future research extended to other contexts.
