Evidence for the existing American Nurses Association-recognized standardized nursing terminologies: A systematic review

Abstract

Objective To determine the state of the science for the five standardized nursing terminology sets in terms of level of evidence and study focus. Design Systematic Review. Data sources Keyword search of PubMed, CINAHL, and EMBASE databases from 1960s to March 19, 2012 revealed 1,257 publications. Review Methods From abstract review we removed duplicate articles, those not in English or with no identifiable standardized nursing terminology, and those with a low-level of evidence. From full text review of the remaining 312 articles, eight trained raters used a coding system to record standardized nursing terminology names, publication year, country, and study focus. Inter-rater reliability confirmed the level of evidence. We analyzed coded results. Results On average there were 4 studies per year between 1985 and 1995. The yearly number increased to 14 for the decade between 1996–2005, 21 between 2006–2010, and 25 in 2011. Investigators conducted the research in 27 countries. By evidence level for the 312 studies 72.4% were descriptive, 18.9% were observational, and 8.7% were intervention studies. Of the 312 reports, 72.1% focused on North American Nursing Diagnosis-International, Nursing Interventions Classification, Nursing Outcome Classification, or some combination of those three standardized nursing terminologies; 9.6% on Omaha System; 7.1% on International Classification for Nursing Practice; 1.6% on Clinical Care Classification/Home Health Care Classification; 1.6% on Perioperative Nursing Data Set; and 8.0% on two or more standardized nursing terminology sets. There were studies in all 10 foci categories including those focused on concept analysis/classification infrastructure (n = 43), the identification of the standardized nursing terminology concepts applicable to a health setting from registered nurses’ documentation (n = 54), mapping one terminology to another (n = 58), implementation of standardized nursing terminologies into electronic health records (n = 12), and secondary use of electronic health record data (n = 19). Conclusions Findings reveal that the number of standardized nursing terminology publications increased primarily since 2000 with most focusing on North American Nursing Diagnosis-International, Nursing Interventions Classification, and Nursing Outcome Classification. The majority of the studies were descriptive, qualitative, or correlational designs that provide a strong base for understanding the validity and reliability of the concepts underlying the standardized nursing terminologies. There is evidence supporting the successful integration and use in electronic health records for two standardized nursing terminology sets: (1) the North American Nursing Diagnosis-International, Nursing Interventions Classification, and Nursing Outcome Classification set; and (2) the Omaha System set. Researchers, however, should continue to strengthen standardized nursing terminology study designs to promote continuous improvement of the standardized nursing terminologies and use in clin...

“…It is noteworthy that the tools approached defining characteristics (signs and symptoms), related/risk factors subdivided into 12 domains (health promotion, nutrition, elimination and exchange, activity/ rest, perception/cognition, self-perception, role relationships, sexuality, coping/stress tolerance, safety/protection, life principles and comfort) presented in taxonomy II of NANDA International (NANDA-I). (6,7) The tools were evaluated by eight experts with experience in the area of Nursing Diagnoses and AIDS, and validated as for their appearance, content, transparency, and applicability.…”

“…For identifying the Nursing Diagnoses, their defining characteristics, and related or risk factors, the NANDA International Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions and Classification 2012-2014 (6,7) was used, following a two-step procedure: analysis (data categorization and gap identification) and synthesis (pool, comparison, identification, and relationship of causing factors). In the inferential diagnosis process, medical records were evaluated separately by two authors of this study, one holding a master's degree and the other a Ph.D., in order to provide better reliability to the results.…”

“…(1,2) In this scenario, the assessment of nursing diagnoses in specific populations allows knowing altered human responses, contributing to reach an individualized and holistic assistance. (3) Several authors have focused on identifying nursing diagnoses in specific groups, like the elderly with cardiac insufficiency, patients of surgical clinic, oncologic clinic, the elderly, transplanted patients etc. (4)(5)(6)(7)(8) This study aimed to identify the frequency of the main nursing diagnoses in hospitalized patients in surgical clinic.…”

“…(3) However, there are few studies that address the nurse in relation to differential nursing diagnosis or to substantiate the conduct of nursing professionals. (1,4) The term "differential diagnosis" leads to the context of the nursing process and the use of standardized language, through a selected classification system. This is an invaluable resource in the modern world, especially in transmitting information, scientific communications, technological and professionals.…”

“…This is an invaluable resource in the modern world, especially in transmitting information, scientific communications, technological and professionals. (4) Among the various nursing classification systems, there is the taxonomy proposed by NANDA International (NAN-DA-I ), created as a tool for diagnostic standardization. (4) Given the above, this study aimed to analyze the mapped Nursing Diagnoses included in the class "Urinary Function", inserted in the domain of Elimination and Exchange of NANDA-I taxonomy, based on records of patients with Parkinson's disease of the rehabilitation program.…”
