“…Entre las limitaciones del estudio, se debe tener en cuenta que estas opiniones o actitudes varían atendiendo a los diferentes perfiles profesionales que conforman la muestra; en este orden, un reciente estudio internacional (21) ha concluido la necesidad de categorizar a los profesionales para establecer, mediante la determinación de conglomerados, estrategias adecuadas en la mejora de los resultados.…”

Introduction: nurses have different opinions and attitudes about the clinical functionality of Nursing Diagnosis.Objective: to describe the attitudes of Nursing professionals towards the Nursing Diagnosis.Method: observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study in a hospital in the Canary Islands (Spain). Position on Nursing Diagnosis is a validated instrument to measure the attitudes of nurses towards the Nursing Diagnosis with excellent reliability. It is made up by a coded scale of 20 pairs of opposite adjectives in which the interviewed must position himself; extreme scores 1 (most negative attitude) and 7 (most positive attitude); 4 middle value; 140 maximum score and 20 minimum one. Reliability analysis was performed using Cronbach's alpha and inter-element correlation. Frequency distribution for qualitative variables and proportion for quantitative variables. Association analysis.Results: the study population was N=170. The scale has shown high reliability (α=0.955) as well as adequate power to explain the total variance (66.13%). The global mean score was 74.41 (sd=23.53); the worst attitude was Routine (µ=2.91; sd=1.55) while the best attitude was Positive (µ=4.20; sd=1.56).Conclusions: the attitudes of the nurses in our environment are similar to other contexts, with global scores lower than the average. The increase in academic training and the use of the Nursing Diagnosis in the work environment seem to improve the attitudes of this professionals, mainly with regard to acceptance, comfort, ease, relevance, validity, creativity and gratification. Introducción: Las enfermeras tienen opiniones y actitudes diferentes sobre la funcionalidad clínica de los Diagnósticos Enfermeros.Objetivo: Describir las actitudes de los profesionales de Enfermería ante el Diagnóstico Enfermero.Método: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal en un hospital de las Islas Canarias (España). Position on Nursing Diagnosis constituye un instrumento validado con excelente fiabilidad. Conformado por una escala codificada de 20 parejas de adjetivos opuestos; puntuaciones extremas 1 (más negativa) y 7 (más positiva); valor central 4. Puntuación máxima 140 y mínima 20. Se realizó análisis de fiabilidad mediante Alfa de Cronbach y correlación interelementos. Distribución de frecuencias para variables cualitativas y de proporción para cuantitativas. Análisis de asociación. Resultados: Población muestral n=170. La escala ha expuesto alta fiabilidad (α=0,955) y adecuado poder de explicación de la varianza (66,13%). La puntuación media global fue 74,41 (sd=23,53); la peor actitud correspondió a Rutinario (µ=2,91; sd=1,55) mientras que la mejor fue Positivo (µ=4,20; sd=1,56). Conclusiones: Las actitudes de las enfermeras son similares a las observadas en otras realidades, con puntuaciones globales inferiores a la media. El incremento de la formación académica y del uso del Diagnóstico Enfermero en el entorno laboral parecen mejorar las actitudes de estos profesionales, principalmente en lo que respecta a su aceptación, comodidad, facilidad, relevancia, validez, creatividad y gratificación.

“…(2005) were used to translate the Positions on Nursing Diagnosis scale as follows: First, the questionnaire was chosen depending on study objectives during the initial phase before the translation process. The global standard and utility of this scale for nurses and students (D'Agostino et al., 2018; Romero‐Sánchez et al., 2014) and the good validity and reliability results of several reports are explanations of why this scale was selected. Second, individually two translators translated the language in this stage. The first translator is from the Philippines residing in Iran having proficiency in English and a history in the medical field.…”

“…In Iran, many studies have shown the role of attitude towards nursing diagnosis as one of the most important reasons for its application in practice (Ghanbari et al., 2017; Matbouei et al., ; Mousavinasab et al., 2020). Therefore, if nurses are positively attuned to nursing diagnosis, they use it more reliably (D'Agostino et al., 2018; Kamberi, 2019). It seems necessary, then, to perform interventions to improve attitudes towards nursing diagnoses and measure attitudes to evaluate the effectiveness of those interventions (Mousavinasab et al., 2020).…”

“…The Positions on Nursing Diagnosis scale is utilized in nursing diagnosis studies (Collins, 2013; D'Agostino et al., 2018; de Mattos Pimenta & da Costa Lima, 2006). In summary, as factor analysis is a method for validating the preferred instrument, it is crucial to understand the factor structures of an instrument before use in practical and clinical investigations (Kyriazos, 2018).…”

Aim To validate the Positions on Nursing Diagnosis scale developed by Lunney and Krenz (1992) in Persian language. Design Cross‐sectional survey. Methods A methodological study conducted in two stages of translation (by applying the forward and back‐translation method) and psychometric assessment was conducted in a western area of Iran. The scale was completed by 600 nurses selected by quota method from different wards of four provinces. Date of data collection is 1‐April‐2019 to 1‐Dec‐2019. Results The Positions on Nursing Diagnosis scale showed acceptable content validity with index of 0.97. The 20 items of the Positions on Nursing Diagnosis scale load on four factors. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated the good fit of the model's indicators. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole instrument was 0.85. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.86.
