Abstract

This is the third article of a series of ten describing the SIPPS (Soins Individualisés à la Personne Soignée) and the SIGN II project, which together with the PRN project (Project de Recherche en Nursing), described in the last issue, constitute the three instruments based on direct measures of the time used in patient care in a non-specialised hospital care setting. SIPPS analyses patient care requirements on the basis of the needs described by Virginia Henderson. The required needs are grouped in three care actions carried out by the nurses (basic care actions, relational and educational actions and technical care actions). The SIGN II project is intended to define a catalogue of nursing products and to establish basic criteria to design a management software support system.
