The pmposes of this methodological and descriptive study were to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish forms of the Omaha Systems and to demonstrate its convenience through its utilization in practice-based family nursing.

Inter-rater reliability was tested on six independent students. The reliability scores were at significant level when coding the records using the Omaha System. Data were gathered during 378 home visits performed. Clinical
practicum was explained with 332 problems, and 1783 nursing interventions terms. Seventy percent of the Omaha System problems, all intervention categories and 48% of the targets were used. The findings of the study supported the usefulness of the Omaha System in describing the practices of community health nursing.
