Erminological subset of the international classification for nursing practice: an integrative review

Abstract

Aim: to identify, in scientific publications, the initiatives in the development and use of terminological subsets of ICNP®. Method: this is an integrative review, undertaken from March to April 2012, in the databases of BDENF, BioMedLib, LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed and SciELO, using as search strategy the key words: ICNP and terminological subset of ICNP, in the period 2005-2012. Results: the articles that met the inclusion criteria led to the identification of two thematic categories; namely, the development process of a terminological subset of ICNP® and studies of applicability of terminological subsets of ICNP®. Conclusion: the development and practical use of terminological subsets of ICNP® are still incipient despite the fact that the methodological process of these subsets is promising. It is suggested that the following be considered: the development of new terminological subsets of ICNP®, the publication of the application and validation of the developed subsets, and the refinement or construction of a methodological process for the development of these subsets.

Methodological approach for the development of terminology subsets ICNP®: an integrative review

“…The use of different research techniques to collect terms and concepts relevant for the clientele and the health priority, in addition to those recommended in the literature, shows versatility and creativity of the authors in developing strategies for the refinement or construction of new methodological possibilities for the development of these subsets, as recommended by the ICN (8,21) .…”

ICNP® terminological subset for tumor wounds in palliative care: a methodological study

“…The International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP ® ) is presented as an important tool with regard to terminological standardization and for improving the exchange of information among nurses worldwide. The data and information generated through this system can be used to represent nursing practice in health information systems, in care planning and in management (2) .…”

“…The development of ICNP ® terminological subsets and their validation are important contributions to the strengthening of nursing procedures, both during assistance and in education/research (2) .…”

“…[10][11] This effort in favor of a specific language culminated in the development of terminologies that permit uniform meanings and the achievement of efficacy in scientific, technological and professional communication, besides strengthening autonomy and social practice. 12 The International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP ® ) stands out, which uses the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and is updated and launched every two years, being organized by the International Council of Nurses (ICN) since 1989. [18][19][20] Since its conception, the ICNP ® has gone through evaluations, review and publications of different versions: alpha (1996), beta …”

“…37 According to the ICNP ® Research and Development Center of Paraíba, however, despite the number of terms contained in the banks of constructed terms, not all possible nursing declarations can be exhausted. 38 Thus, in the most recent ICNP ® versions, nursing diagnoses / outcomes and interventions were identified, using terms from the field of environmental and occupational health nursing, which demonstrates the breadth and feasibility of using ICNP ® in the different care settings, linking the conduct of nursing practices to social responsibility, sustainability and ecology, although it was evidenced in this study that new terms need to be inserted, referring to the dynamics of the environmental and occupational health area.…”
