Effectiveness of nursing interventions in heart failure patients in home care using NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC

Applicability of the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) to the evaluation of cancer patients with acute or chronic pain in palliative care

“…The primary outcome for sample size calculation was the improvement in NOC (Moorhead et al, 2013) scores corresponding to the ND of Acute (00132) or Chronic Pain (00133), as reported in previous study (Azzolin, 2011). A minimum sample size of 13 patients would be necessary to detect a one-point difference in NOC (Moorhead et al, 2013) scores with a statistical power of 90% and an alpha-error of 5%.…”

“…Recent studies in Brazil have found that NOC (Moorhead et al, 2013) is a useful tool for the evaluation and identification of effective practices in nursing care (Lucena et al, 2013;Azzolin, 2011). However, none of these studies have evaluated the applicability of the outcomes Acute (00132) or Chronic Pain (00133) and their diagnostic indicators (Heardman & Kamitsuru, 2014) in palliative care units.…”

Psychometric evaluation of the Positions on Nursing Diagnosis scale

“…Cardenas-Valladolid et al (2012) showed that in primary health-care settings, people with diabetes who received nursing care based on nursing diagnoses achieved better glycemic control than those who did not. In addition, Azzolin et al (2013) demonstrated that older adults with heart failure whose nursing interventions were based on ND in home care settings had improved health outcomes. These improvements included more knowledge of treatment regimens and better compliance, symptom control, activity tolerance, and energy conservation.…”

Laser therapy in pressure ulcers: evaluation by the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing and Nursing Outcomes Classification

“…Higher scores indicate worse PU and low scores indicates improvement in PU healing processes (11) . The NOC (12) is a nursing outcomes classification tool that has been used in studies of clinical practice (13)(14) for evaluation of nursing interventions with standardized language use. According to this classification, the evaluation of a nursing outcome assumes the initial collection of patient data, in order to support an accurate nursing diagnosis (ND) to establish appropriate goals and interventions.…”
