Abstract
As a follow-up to ‘understanding the nursing process’ (Stonehouse, 2017), this article examines the importance of goal-setting within the planning stage of the nursing process. The acronym ‘SMART’ will be explored, to help guide the support worker in making sure their patients have the correct goals in place.
Relevant sections of the Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers and Adult Social Care Workers in England (Skills for Care and Skills for Health, 2013) will be highlighted.
Once appropriate and attainable goals are set, the support worker can then deliver quality care to meet these goals in partnership with their patients.
Key Words: Goals, Nursing Process, Planning, SMART, Support Workers
