The Use of the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) with Cardiac Patients Receiving Home Health Care

Abstract

Relevant knowledge of nursing care can be gleaned from analyzing NIC data generated in practice and can be used to plan, evaluate, and determine the effectiveness of nursing care.

Preliminary Evidence for the Usefulness of Standardized Nursing Terminologies in Different Fields of Application: A Literature Review

“…In the study from Italy (Zampieron et al, 2011), the use of NNN was described retrospectively from 76 patient records at a cardiology rehabilitation unit. The limitations described in these studies were self-estimated use of codes (Doorenbos et al, 2013;Solari-Twadell & Hackbarth, 2010), 54% response rate (Solari-Twadell & Hackbarth, 2010), findings that were based on planned care and not actual care (Thoroddsen et al, 2010), and small sample size (Lee et al, 2011;Schneider & Slowik, 2009). The limitations described in these studies were self-estimated use of codes (Doorenbos et al, 2013;Solari-Twadell & Hackbarth, 2010), 54% response rate (Solari-Twadell & Hackbarth, 2010), findings that were based on planned care and not actual care (Thoroddsen et al, 2010), and small sample size (Lee et al, 2011;Schneider & Slowik, 2009).…”

“…The results from these studies showed that the use of standardized nursing terminology made it possible to distinguish, extract, and analyze nursing care (Doorenbos et al, 2013;Hahn, 2014;Lee, Park, Nam, & Whyte, 2011;Schneider & Slowik, 2009;Shever, Titler, Dochterman, Fei, & Picone, 2007;Solari-Twadell & Hackbarth, 2010;Thoroddsen, Ehnfors, & Ehrenberg, 2010;Zampieron, Aldo, & Corso, 2011), thereby allowing for comparisons (Doorenbos et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2011;Shever et al, 2007;Thoroddsen et al, 2010) (Table 2).

“…Shever et al (2007) reviewed 1,014 EPRs at hospital acute care clinics, Schneider and Slowik (2009) investigated which NIC was used for 103 patients in cardiac home care, Solari-Twadell and Hackbarth (2010) examined the content of parish nursing by surveying 2300 nurses, and Hahn (2014) included 80 adults with mild to moderate intellectual disability living in non-institutional residence in her prospective study.

Nursing interventions implemented according to the most prevalent nursing diagnoses in intensive care: cross-sectional study

“…A study carried out with cardiac patients receiving home visits showed that the most frequent intervention is Cardiac Care, also the basic and complex physiological domain prevailed, however this study does not mention the diagnosis implemented, only the interventions (14) . Studies in search of a relation NANDA-NIC in specialized units contribute to better care for patients, once they allow taxonomic structures to get closer, as well as reinforce the importance of nursing work in different health care scenarios (15,16) .…”

Consenso de diagnósticos, resultados e intervenções de enfermagem para pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca em domicílio

“…A study within this context included cardiac patients and identified key NIC interventions applied to Hydric Control, Exercise Promotion and Heart Care (18) . Similarly, the intervention Fluid Monitoring, imperative for patient care that has Risk for Imbalance Fluid Volume or Excess Fluid Volume, was also included in the present study.…”
