Specialized nursing terminology for the care of people with spinal cord injury

Abstract

Objective: To develop a bank of terms of specialized nursing language based on the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) for the care of the person with spinal cord injury. Method: Descriptive, quantitative study guided by the guidelines of terminological studies. Terms were extracted from an official document of the Ministry of Health through use of a computer tool, and were standardized and mapped with the ICNP® Version 2015. Results: We identified 446 relevant terms, of which 265 were equal, 68 were similar, 23 were more comprehensive, 66 were more restricted, and 24 were not in concordance with terms of the ICNP®. Terms classified as equal and similar were considered as constant. Thus, the bank of terms consisted of 333 constant terms and 113 not contained in the classification. Terms included in the Focus, Action, Means and Location axes predominated. Conclusion: The bank of terms will contribute to the construction of the ICNP® terminology subset for the care of people with spinal cord injury.

Specialized nursing terminology for the care of people with COVID-19

“…The concepts contained in CIPE ® classified in Focus and Action Axis grouped the highest quantity, which can be observed in other studies with similar design (14,(24)(25) , being the same for other health priorities. This aspect is due to the fact that the Focus Axis represents the relevant area of attention for nursing and must be included in the formulation of nursing diagnosis and results.…”

“…This expresses that, even in the face of a new context of care, that several concepts that reflect the nursing practice to the person with COVID-19 are already present in the Classification. Thus confirming its reliability as a technological instrument for inserting data in electronic health information systems, and records of clinical nursing practice (24)(25) and identification of indicators sensitive to the nursing practice worldwide.…”

Specialized Nursing Terminology for the Clinical Practice Directed at Covid-19

“…These terms are relevant, as they provide for interventions that investigate the possible cause of the COVID-19 attack and that will contribute to the individual's health history, support the planning of care and meet the identified needs, preventing possible complications. 27 For the Ministry of Health, it is recommended to determine the level of risk and to assess the possibility of causes, that is, a clinical-epidemiological investigation is crucial for the timely diagnosis and to prevent transmission. 28 Therefore, the nurse in the context of health care for COVID-19 seeks to satisfy holistic needs and complex efficient and safe ways to intervene with accuracy and thus achieve the desired goals through a terminology that is created and recreated.…”

Terms of specialized nursing language for chronic renal patients undergoing conservative treatment

“…The use of ICNP ® contributes to reasoning and clinical decisionmaking, facilitates systematic documentation of professional practice, allows the promotion of communication between nursing professionals and other areas, thus leading to greater visibility for the profession (7) . Nurses describe the evidence of care provided from the description of specific elements that must be registered in a standardized way with the help of a term bank, which allows detecting concepts that help in the construction of diagnoses, results and Nursing interventions (8) .…”

“…In view of the problem presented, the development and importance of this study is justified, since there is a scarcity of studies aimed at chronic renal patients undergoing conservative treatment, since publications on specialized nursing terminologies deal with the following topics: medical clinic and surgical; neonatal and adult intensive care unit; physical-motor rehabilitation; ostomates; people with pressure injuries; leprosy; palliative care; spinal cord injury; elderly women with HIV / AIDS and metabolic syndrome (7)(8)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) .…”
