 AB    The purpose of this study was to describe the problems of HIV-infected
       patients, hospitalized for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), as
       documented in the nursing care plan and to examine differences in the
       number and type of activated patient problems and patient outcomes
       between manually generated, computer-supported, and standardized care
       planning systems. Of the sample, 22% had no care plan. In the
       computer-supported care planning system the fewest number of care plans
       were completed. The total number of problems generated for the 89
       patients having care plans was 199. The problems were categorized as
       PCP-related (37%), AIDS-related (16%), psychosocial (23%), knowledge
       deficit (14%), and other (10%). There were significant differences among
       the three groups in the total number of problems, PCP-related problems,
       and knowledge deficit problems. There were no statistically significant
       differences in patient outcomes, as measured by HIV-QAM scale scores and
       patient self-rating of physical condition approximately 1 week after
       admission, and length of stay among the three care planning systems.
       Future research is needed to examine the effect of type of care planning
       system on the quality of patient care.
