The document discusses process recording, which is a method used by nurses in psychiatric wards to record interactions with patients. Process recording involves writing a verbatim account of a nurse-patient interaction along with the nurse's inferences. It aims to improve the quality of interactions for better patient outcomes and provides a learning experience for nurses. Key elements of process recordings include identification data about the patient, presenting complaints, history, and objectives of interviews. The process helps nurses plan, evaluate, and improve their clinical skills through conscious reflection.
