PURPOSE To assess the surgical wound (SW) healing in orthopedic patients with Impaired tissue integrity according to the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). METHODS A prospective longitudinal study performed with 24 patients. Data collection was performed through an instrument containing the NOC indicators. FINDINGS The indicators skin approximation, drainage, surrounding skin erythema, periwound edema, increased skin temperature, and foul wound odor presented a statistically significant increase when compared the means between the first and the last day of evaluation. CONCLUSION The NOC indicators allowed to monitor the SW healing indicating an improvement. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE The NOC can favor an earlier identification of the degree of commitment for each patient and enables implementation of care to achieve target outcomes.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar as Linguagens padronizadas de enfermagem em ortopedia na perspectiva do Nursing Role Effectiveness Model. Método Pesquisa com método misto realizado em um hospital do Sul do Brasil entre abril de 2016 a fevereiro de 2017. Os dados quantitativos foram coletados de 85 pacientes ortopédicos usando a NANDA-International, Classificação de Intervenções e Resultados de enfermagem, submetidos à análise estatística. Os dados qualitativos foram coletados por meio de entrevistas com 10 enfermeiros e foram analisadas mediante análise de conteúdo. Resultados Dor aguda (96%) foi diagnóstico de enfermagem prevalente. Prevenção de quedas (33,3%) foi a intervenção mais prescrita. Nível de Dor, Posicionamento do Corpo: autoiniciado e Mobilidade apresentaram aumento nos escores de resultado (p<0,001). Nas entrevistas os enfermeiros apontaram que os diagnósticos prioritários e as intervenções de enfermagem contribuíram para a melhoria dos resultados de mobilidade. Conclusão Os resultados revelaram que o foco das Linguagens padronizadas de enfermagem em ortopedia na perspectiva do Nursing Role Effectiveness Model reside no contexto da mobilidade, porém precisa de melhorias na acurácia diagnóstica e registro no prontuário do paciente.

PURPOSE To evaluate pain levels in patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). METHODS Prospective cohort study conducted in the surgical hospitalization units of a university hospital in southern Brazil. Twenty‐four patients were evaluated and followed‐up for four consecutive days after THA. FINDINGS A significant difference was found between the first and last evaluations for the outcome pain level (2102). Two indicators also showed statistically significant differences overtime. CONCLUSIONS The NOC outcome and indicators demonstrated the different pain levels of patients who underwent THA. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE The NOC system is applicable to clinical practice, because it facilitated the follow‐up of patient progression.
