Current situation: Standardized terminology of the Omaha system brings new opportunities for nurses providing community care. Objectives: Four objectives have been defined for this study: to implement the Omaha system in the nursing documentation for the purpose of verification of nursing care in community practice - to characterize the problems of patients with gastrointestinal diseases as per the Problem Classification Scheme - to map the links between problems and interventions as per the Intervention Scheme - to evaluate the problem results using the Problem Rating Scale for Outcomes of the Omaha system. Methodology: The research method used was based on the study by Kathryn H. Bowles (2000) addressing problems of patients and nurse interventions. The quantitative research method was implemented by inquiry using nursing documentation with the Omaha system implemented. The data acquired was tested using the software tools SPSS 22.0 and MS Excel. Research set: It consisted of 103 patients with gastrointestinal diseases. The inquiry was carried out by contact persons - nurses of the gastroenterology department. Results: Patients with gastrointestinal diseases suffering from a wide range of problems corresponding to given character of diseases, which predominantly occur in the Physiological Domain and Health-Related Behavior Domain. In terms of mapping of links between problems and interventions, the results have proven a high usability of the objectives defined in the Intervention Scheme in community practice. The interventions were mostly determined in the categories Treatments and Procedures and Surveillance. Statistical differences have been confirmed in the documentation of interventions in individual categories for patient problems as well as for the selection of interventions in individual categories with respect to the type of given gastrointestinal disease. The study results have proven a significant improvement of knowledge, behaviour and status for individual problems, which is shown in comparison of final values with the initial values of problem results. The implementation of the selected interventions as per the Intervention Scheme resulted in a reduction or elimination of ? of problems. Conclusions: The results of the research inquiry clearly show that the Omaha system is an appropriate tool for documentation of all stages of the nursing process in the community care. Implementation of the functional documentation in community practice requires the Czech version of the Omaha system and electronic form of the documentation, which are absent at present.
