Relationships Among NANDA‐I Diagnoses, Nursing Outcomes Classification, and Nursing Interventions Classification by Nursing Students for Patients in Medical‐Surgical Units in Korea

Abstract

By determining patient outcomes linked to interventions and how the degree of outcomes change after interventions, the effectiveness of the interventions can be evaluated.

Diagnósticos de enfermagem em clínica cirúrgica

“…From the characterization of care required by the clients of medical-surgical unit, were found 10.6 diagnoses per patient in average, corroborating to the need for scientific and specific knowledge of nurses, in order to plan the care for the patients assisted. (5) The diagnosis 'risk for infection' defined as a 'state in which the individual has increased risk of being invaded by pathogenic organisms', is commonly identified in patients submitted to surgical procedures. It was present in 100% of the sample and was related to invasive procedures before, during and after an operation.…”

“…(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. This identification is justified as the subsidy of interventions that are effective and adequate to the individual needs of each patient, as well as the prevision and provision of workload of the nursing staff, besides contributing to the continuing education in quality of care.…”

Promoting the Use of Nursing Terminology Classification Among Nursing Students- An Action Study

“…The use of standardized language promotes nursing students' decision making, within their clinical practice, by enabling critical thinking [3,11] and helps them describe their patient care. The competent use of standardized language by student nurses makes them more capable to adapt themselves to a computerized patient record system [1], and will facilitate future graduates' transition to the EHR system in the healthcare settings. The use of standardized nursing interventions in nursing in Israel has been used more as an educational strategy for strengthening the students' critical and analytic thinking.…”

“…The use of classification makes it possible to obtain all of the contextual elements of the nursing care process and document nursing care provided to patients. Documentation in such a manner enables determination of which interventions are more effective than others in order to achieve certain nursing outcomes [1,3,5]. It is a critical process which leads to improved nursing quality and working efficiency and increased nursing professionalism and responsibility [6].…”

Promoting the Use of Nursing Terminology Classification Among Nursing Students- An Action Study

“…The health care system is undergoing fundamental changes in order to deliver enhanced quality and safety health care. One of the major changes includes developing information systems to facilitate the transformation of the paper-based patient chart into an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system [1]. EHR plays a critical role in sharing information and knowledge within and across care settings and representing health record data in a consistent way [2].…”
