IntroduçãoO envelhecimento populacional é um fenômeno acentuado no Brasil e no mundo, de grande impacto na estrutura econômica e sanitária das sociedades, tendo RESUMO: Estudo transversal e descritivo que objetivou descrever as características sociodemográficas e clínicas de idosos institucionalizados. Participaram da pesquisa 54 idosos residentes numa instituição de longa permanência de Fortaleza/CE, mediante aplicação de formulário, em 2011. A população estudada apresentou idade média de 72,4±8,5 anos, predominando os idosos do sexo masculino (61,1%), solteiros (46,3%), analfabetos (46,3%), aposentados (77,8%). Quanto à institucionalização, 51,9% residiam na instituição há menos de cinco anos, 29,6% eram ex-moradores de rua e 72,2% não recebiam visitas. Quanto às características clínicas, 81,5% possuíam alguma doença crônica, 83,3% faziam uso contínuo de medicação; os níveis pressóricos e glicêmicos estiveram controlados para 57,4% e 81,1% idosos, respectivamente. Quanto ao perfil de fragilidade, 74,1% dos idosos encontravam-se frágeis. Esses dados podem subsidiar as ações dos enfermeiros na promoção de uma atenção mais efetiva e individualizada ao idoso institucionalizado.

Objective: To assess the presence of frailty and its relationship to sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in institutionalized elderly. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 54 elderly residents in long-stay institutions in the Northeast of Brazil. The data collection instruments were the Edmonton Frail Scale, socioeconomic assessmentand health profiles. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test, with significance level of 0.05. Results: The mean age was 72.4 (± 8.5) years, 61.1% were male and 74.1% had some level of frailty. There were positive correlations between frailty, gender, age, comorbidities, body mass index and the need and amount of medicines. Conclusion: Frailty in institutionalized elderly is influenced by sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. ResumoObjetivo: Avaliar a presença de fragilidade e sua relação com as características sociodemográficas e clínicas em idosos institucionalizados. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 54 idosos residentes em instituição de longa permanência da região Nordeste do Brasil.

Objective: To develop a bank of terms of specialized nursing language based on the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) for the care of the person with spinal cord injury. Method: Descriptive, quantitative study guided by the guidelines of terminological studies. Terms were extracted from an official document of the Ministry of Health through use of a computer tool, and were standardized and mapped with the ICNP® Version 2015. Results: We identified 446 relevant terms, of which 265 were equal, 68 were similar, 23 were more comprehensive, 66 were more restricted, and 24 were not in concordance with terms of the ICNP®. Terms classified as equal and similar were considered as constant. Thus, the bank of terms consisted of 333 constant terms and 113 not contained in the classification. Terms included in the Focus, Action, Means and Location axes predominated. Conclusion: The bank of terms will contribute to the construction of the ICNP® terminology subset for the care of people with spinal cord injury.
Objective: To develop a subset of nursing diagnoses for the elderly followed in primary health care based on the bank of terms for clinical nursing practice with the elderly, in the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) version 2013, and on the Model of Nursing Care. Method: Descriptive study developed in sequential steps of construction and validation of the bank of terms, elaboration of the nursing diagnoses based on the guidelines of the International Council of Nurses and the bank of terms, and categorization of diagnostics according to the Care Model. Results: The total of 127 nursing diagnoses were elaborated from 359 validated terms, distributed according to the basic human needs. Conclusion: It is expected that these diagnoses will form the basis for the planning of nursing care and use of a unified language for documentation of clinical nursing practice with the elderly in primary care.
RESUMOA Classificação Internacional para a Prática de Enfermagem (CIPE®) é um sistema de classificação unificador dos elementos da prática de enfermagem (diagnósticos, resultados e intervenções), que possibilita elucidar elementos da linguagem própria da Enfermagem por meio da construção de subconjuntos terminológicos. Neste ensaio reflexivo, destacam-se aspectos relevantes para a construção de subconjuntos terminológicos CIPE®, bem como suas contribuições para a prática clínica do enfermeiro. Discute-se a elaboração de subconjuntos como ferramenta que contribui para a universalização da linguagem da Enfermagem, facilita o processo comunicativo, bem como o avanço científico e tecnológico da profissão. Portanto, incentiva-se seu uso por enfermeiros de todo o mundo. DESCRITORES Enfermagem Terminologia Vocabulário Classificação ABSTRACTThe International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) is a classification system that unifies the elements of nursing practice (diagnoses, interventions and outcomes), enabling elucidation of elements of a specific nursing language through the construction of terminology subsets. In this reflective essay, aspects relevant to the construction of ICNP® terminology subsets are highlighted, as well as their contributions to clinical nursing practice. The development of subsets as a tool that contributes to making nursing language universal, facilitates the communication process, as well as the scientific and technological advancement of the profession, is discussed. Therefore, its use by nurses worldwide is encouraged.

DESCRIPTORES INTRODUCTIONNursing has been concerned about its consolidation as a science and strengthening of its practice in different contexts of care. That demands a specific language which defines and describes its performance and professional actions. However, the lack of this vocabulary hinders the assimilation of terms needed to classify and name its practice, which leads to efforts of nurses worldwide in search of scientific development of the profession (1) .The effort for a specific nursing vocabulary or language led to the development of classification systems that have arou...
