Résumé
Introduction : L’opérationnalisation de mesures de la performance sensibles aux soins infirmiers s’avère très variable. Elle aboutit à des mesures parfois sous-optimales et difficiles d’accès pour les gestionnaires et le personnel infirmier. L’objectif est de proposer une méthode rigoureuse d’opérationnalisation de mesures de la performance sensibles aux soins infirmiers basées sur des données de routine.
Source d’information : La source d’information principale de cet article est une méthode d’opérationnalisation adaptée d’un guide de rapport et d’un instrument d’évaluation de mesures de performance. Elle comprend 7 processus et 33 attributs de qualité interreliés. L’application de cette méthode d’opérationnalisation a été expérimentée avec succès dans un hôpital universitaire.
Discussion : L’opérationnalisation de mesures de la performance sensibles aux soins infirmiers est un processus complexe. Cette méthode est une proposition originale qui permet de justifier et d’argumenter les choix réalisés. Nous discutons la façon dont cette méthode constitue une réponse à 3 enjeux méthodologiques majeurs : (1) des méthodes d’opérationnalisation hétérogènes et peu détaillées ; (2) des attributs essentiels (p. ex. pertinence, validité scientifique, faisabilité) qui ne font pas consensus et (3) des modèles d’architecture des données hétérogènes.
Implication et conclusion : Cette méthode d’opérationnalisation offre une approche systématique et transparente pour produire des mesures de la performance sensibles aux soins infirmiers à partir de données de routine. Elle pourrait permettre de bonifier leur opérationnalisation, faciliter leur compréhension et leur évaluation.

Abstract
Introduction: The operationalization of nursing-sensitive performance measures has been highly variable. It results in measures that are sometimes suboptimal and difficult for managers and nurses to access. The objective is to propose a rigorous method for operationalizing nurse-sensitive performance measures based on routine data.
Source of Information: The primary source of information for this article is an operationalization method adapted from a reporting guide and performance measure evaluation instrument. It includes 7 processes and 33 interrelated quality attributes. The application of this operationalization method was successfully tested in a university hospital.
Discussion: Operationalization of nursing-sensitive performance measures is a complex process. This method is an original proposal that allows for the justification and argumentation of the choices made. We discuss how this method is a response to 3 methodological issues: (1) heterogeneous and poorly detailed operationalization methods; (2) critical attributes (e.g., relevance, scientific validity, feasibility) that lack consensus and (3) heterogeneous data architecture models.
Implication and conclusion: This operationalization method provides a systematic and transparent approach to generating nursing-sensitive performance measures from routine data. It could improve their operationalization, facilitate their understanding and evaluation.
