Using interoperable nursing care data to improve outcomes for multiple traumas patients with Impaired Physical Mobility.

AIM(S): To demonstrate how interoperable nursing care data can be used by nurses to create a more holistic understanding of the healthcare needs of multiple traumas patients with Impaired Physical Mobility. By proposing and validating linkages for the nursing diagnosis of Impaired Physical Mobility in multiple trauma patients by mapping to the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) and Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) equivalent terms using free-text nursing documentation. DESIGN: A descriptive cross-sectional design, combining quantitative analysis of interoperable data sets and the Kappa's coefficient score with qualitative insights from cross-mapping methodology and nursing professionals' consensus. METHODS: Cross-mapping methodology was conducted in a Brazilian Level 1 Trauma Center using de-identified records of adult patients with a confirmed medical diagnosis of multiple traumas and Impaired Physical Mobility (a nursing diagnosis). The hospital nursing free-text records were mapped to NANDA-I, NIC, NOC and NNN linkages were identified. The data records were retrieved for admissions from September to October 2020 and involved medical and nursing records. Three expert nurses evaluated the cross-mapping and linkage results using a 4-point Likert-type scale and Kappa's coefficient. RESULTS: The de-identified records of 44 patients were evaluated and then were mapped to three NOCs related to nurses care planning: (0001) Endurance; (0204) Immobility Consequences: Physiological, and (0208) Mobility and 13 interventions and 32 interrelated activities: (6486) Environmental Management: Safety; (0840) Positioning; (3200) Aspiration Precautions; (1400) Pain Management; (0940) Traction/Immobilization Care; (3540) Pressure Ulcer Prevention; (3584) Skincare: Topical Treatment; (1100) Nutrition Management; (3660) Wound Care; (1804) Self-Care Assistance: Toileting; (1801) Self-Care Assistance: Bathing/Hygiene; (4130) Fluid Monitoring; and (4200) Intravenous Therapy. The final version of the constructed NNN Linkages identified 37 NOCs and 41 NICs. CONCLUSION: These valid NNN linkages for patients with multiple traumas can serve as a valuable resource that enables nurses, who face multiple time constraints, to make informed decisions efficiently. This approach of using evidence-based linkages like the one developed in this research holds high potential for improving patient's safety and outcomes. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: In this study, there was no direct involvement of patients, service users, caregivers or public members in the design, conduct, analysis and interpretation of data or preparation of the manuscript. The study focused solely on analysing existing de-identified medical and nursing records to propose and validate linkages for nursing diagnoses.

Using Omaha System data to explore relationships between client outcomes, phenotypes, and targeted home intervention approaches: an exemplar examining practice effectiveness for older women with circulation problems.

BACKGROUND: Improved health among older women remains elusive and may be linked to limited knowledge of and interventions targeted to population subgroups. Use of structured community nurse home visit data exploring relationships between client outcomes, phenotypes, and targeted intervention approaches may reveal new understandings of practice effectiveness. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Omaha System data of 2363 women 65 years and older with circulation problems receiving at least 2 community nurse home visits were accessed. Previously identified phenotypes (Poor circulation; Irregular heart rate; and Limited symptoms), 7 intervention approaches (High-Surveillance; High-Teaching/Guidance/Counseling; Balanced-All; Balanced-Surveillance-Teaching/Guidance/Counseling; Low-Teaching/Guidance/Counseling-Balanced Other; Low-Surveillance-Mostly-Teaching/Guidance/Couseling-TreatmentProcedure-CaseManagement; and Mostly-TreatementProcedure+CaseManagement), and client knowledge, behavior, and status outcomes were used. Client-linked intervention approach counts, proportional use per phenotypes, and associations with client outcome scores were descriptively analyzed. Associations between intervention approach proportional use by phenotype and outcome scores were analyzed using parallel coordinate graph methodology for intervention approach effectiveness. RESULTS: Percent use of intervention approach differed significantly by phenotype. The 2 most widely employed intervention approaches were characterized by either a high use of surveillance interventions or a balanced use of all intervention categories (surveillance, teaching/guidance/counseling, treatment-procedure, case-management). Mean outcome discharge and change scores significantly differed by intervention approach. Proportionally deployed intervention approach patterns by phenotype were associated with outcome small effects improvement. DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: The Omaha System taxonomy supported the management and exploration of large multidimensional community nursing data of older women with circulation problems. This study offers a new way to examine intervention effectiveness using phenotype- and targeted intervention approach-informed structured data.

Validation of Nursing Outcomes Classification: Knowledge and Self-management for Cardiac Disease.

The Nursing Outcomes Classification provides two outcomes, Knowledge: Cardiac Disease and Self-management: Cardiac Disease, to assess knowledge and self-management behaviors of adults with cardiac disease. The purpose of this study was to validate the two nursing-sensitive outcomes to establish content validity. A methodological design was used using the Delphi technique. A total of 13 nurse experts in two domains participated in this study: five in standardized nursing terminologies and eight in self-management. Descriptive statistics and the Nurse-Patient Outcome Content Validity method were used to validate four aspects: definition adequacy of each outcome, clinical usefulness of measurement scales, importance of outcome indicators, and content similarity between the two outcomes. The definition adequacy, clinical usefulness, and content similarity of both outcomes were acceptable. A total of 81 indicators from the two outcomes were validated, and 60 were designated as critical. Nurses can evaluate cardiac patient outcomes effectively and accurately using these validated outcomes. The validated Nursing Outcomes Classification outcomes will also support the clinical decision-making of nursing students when they learn about patients with cardiac disease.

Nursing interventions and activities for patients with multiple traumas: An integrative review.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify nursing interventions and activities for patients with multiple traumas who have variations in physical mobility. METHODS: We used integrative literature review following Whittemore and Knafl method and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses' guidelines and adopting the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Classification Medicine - Levels of Evidence. The data collection was carried out between October and December 2019 and updated in May 2022, in the following databases: Virtual Health Library, Cochrane Library, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, PubMed®, SciVerse Scopus, The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Web of Science. FINDINGS: There were 103 articles to be fully read and evaluated. From these, 34 publications were selected. Most nursing interventions and activities identified were placed in the NIC class Activity and Exercise Management in the Physiological: Basic domain, which has interventions to organize or to assist with physical activity, energy conservation, and expenditure; followed by Elimination Management (interventions to establish and maintain regular bowel and urinary elimination patterns and manage complications due to altered patterns); Immobility Management (interventions to manage restricted body movement and the sequelae); Nutrition Support (interventions to modify or maintain nutritional status); Physical Comfort Promotion (interventions to promote comfort using physical techniques); and Self-Care Facilitation (interventions to provide or assist with routine activities of daily living). CONCLUSIONS: The interventions and nursing activities found in this research were not only related to the change in mobility in victims of multiple traumas but also aimed to prevent the consequences of immobility and to take care of already established conditions. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NURSING PRACTICE: This research enables the taxonomy's development and the validation of interventions for selected groups of patients. This allows the contribution to the development of the NIC-an important resource to improve nursing practice in teaching, research, and care.

Linking nursing outcomes classification to the self- and family management framework.

AIM: Establish linkages between components of the Self- and Family Management Framework and outcomes of the Nursing Outcomes Classification to evaluate the comprehensiveness of outcomes addressing self- and family management in the Nursing Outcomes Classification. DESIGN: Descriptive study. METHODS: Experts conducted a six-step process to establish linkages: (1) preliminary mapping of all relevant nursing outcomes to the framework; (2) development of checklists for team members serving as 'identifiers' and 'reviewers'; (3) mapping all relevant nursing outcomes to the framework; (4) final agreement on mapped outcomes; (5) establishment of inter-rater reliability; and (6) discussion of findings with authors of the Self- and Family Management Framework. RESULTS: Three hundred and sixty-three nursing outcomes were identified as related to the management of chronic disease across all components of the framework: outcomes related to patient self-management (n = 336), family functioning (n = 16) and family caregivers (n = 11). CONCLUSION: The Nursing Outcomes Classification outcomes comprehensively address self-management, and, less so, family functioning, and caregivers. IMPLICATIONS: Established linkages can be used by nurses to track and support patient and family management outcomes across the care continuum. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Linking standardized nursing outcomes to the Self- and Family Management Framework can assist in goal setting and measurement of nursing care during chronic disease management. This work can help describe to funders, policy makers and others invested in health care reform the specific contributions of nurses to self- and family management of chronic disease. IMPACT: This paper demonstrates the linkages between components of the Self- and Family Management Framework and Nursing Outcomes Classification outcomes. The results of this study offer the opportunity to quantify the impact of nursing care and enhance nursing practice for patients with chronic conditions as well as contribute to developing Nursing Outcomes Classification outcomes that consider self-management processes.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of nursing interventions in research from Brazilian postgraduation programs.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate research from Brazilian postgraduate students who provide evidence of effectiveness for Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). METHODS: We conducted a literature review study of thesis and dissertations available in the Brazilian Digital Library of Dissertations and Theses (D/T) in May 2021 regardless of the year they were conducted. In those studies that did not utilize the NIC in the effectiveness evaluation, the cross-mapping methodology was employed between NIC and the interventions used by the authors of the studies. RESULTS: Using a systematic process, we identified 91 studies. Twenty-seven met a priori inclusion and exclusion criteria. We found an increase in studies that focused on nursing interventions in the last 10 years (n = 19), a large proportion of clinical trials (n = 16), and the majority of articles from the Southeast region of Brazil (n = 20). The areas of focus were adult and elderly care, and with a special interest in the behavioral domain (n = 11). Two sensitivity criteria were identified in all D/T (n = 27), and each study presented evidence of effectiveness of a minimum of three criteria simultaneously. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the effectiveness criteria, the Brazilian scientific production in postgraduate programs carried out by nurses provides evidence of the effectiveness for NIC nursing interventions. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: It is recommended to conduct further research that uses the NIC in the planning, conduct, and evaluation of interventions, based on effectiveness criteria of nursing sensitivity.

Longitudinal Subgrouping of Patients With Cancer Based on Symptom Experiences: An Integrative Review.

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION: The purpose of this integrative review is to identify literature describing (a) subgrouping patients with cancer based on symptom experiences and their patterns of symptom changes over time and (b) methodologies of subgrouping patients with cancer based on symptom experiences. LITERATURE SEARCH: PubMed®, CINAHL®, and PsycINFO® were searched through January 2019. DATA EVALUATION: Studies were appraised for patterns of symptom change over time and methodologic approach using the QualSyst quality rating scale. SYNTHESIS: 11 studies met inclusion criteria. Clinical variables that influence symptom patterns were diverse. The most common clustering method was latent variable analysis (73%), and all studies collected symptom data prospectively using survey analysis to assess symptoms. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The majority of studies (91%) observed that the symptom experience within the group of patients with cancer changed over time. Identifying groups of patients with similar symptom experiences is useful to determine which patients need more intensive symptom management over the trajectory of cancer treatment, which is essential to improve symptoms and quality of life.

Development of a nursing outcome for a percutaneous procedure.

OBJECTIVES: To develop a nursing outcome, consistent with the standardized format of outcomes within the nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). This outcome will include an outcome label, an outcome definition, and clinical indicators. The proposed use for this outcome is to evaluate the access site of a percutaneous procedure. METHODS: Concept analysis with a scoping review. Initially, content experts were recruited to validate the indicators of the proposed outcome in order to complete a consensus validation. After consensus validation, a review of the proposed outcome and its indicators was completed by two of the editors of the NOC team to confirm that the outcome label, definition, and indicators were consistent with the NOC taxonomy. During this review, edits were made on the label name and definition. FINDINGS: After a series of reviews, the initial outcome of Vascular Status: Percutaneous Procedure Access was changed to Tissue Injury Severity: Percutaneous Procedure. In addition, the original definition of the condition of an access site for percutaneous procedure by venous or arterial puncture and health of surrounding tissues was edited to: Severity of complications from a needle-puncture access through the skin and into deeper tissues. The outcome has 11 indicators to be used to formulate a target rating for use in the clinical setting. The indicators were not edited over the course of the reviews. CONCLUSION: The proposed outcome will assist nurses in evaluating the access site of percutaneous procedures and in identifying possible complications. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NURSING PRACTICE: This research contributes to the refinement of the NOC taxonomy by having a new outcome that meets clinical practice needs.

NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC linkages to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19): Part 3. Family response.

PURPOSE: To provide guidance to nurses caring for families with COVID-19, we developed linkages using interoperable standardized nursing terminologies: NANDA International (NANDA-I) nursing diagnoses, Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). In addition, we wanted to identify gaps in the terminologies and potential new nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions for future development related to nurse roles in family care during a pandemic. METHODS: Using a consensus process, seven nurse experts created the linkages focused on families during the COVID-19 pandemic using the following steps: (1) creating an initial list of potential nursing diagnoses, (2) selecting and categorizing outcomes that aligned with all components of each nursing diagnosis selected, and (3) identifying relevant nursing interventions. FINDINGS: We identified a total of seven NANDA-I nursing diagnoses as the basis for the linkage work. These are distributed in three NANDA-I Domains and based in the psychosocial dimension of the Nursing Care in Response to Pandemics model. Eighty-nine different NOC outcomes were identified to guide care based on the nursing diagnoses, and 54 different NIC interventions were suggested as possible interventions. Fifteen new proposed concepts were identified for future development across the three classifications. CONCLUSIONS: The linkages of nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions provide a guide to enhance nursing practice and care documentation that could quantify the impact of nursing care to patient outcomes for families at risk for or infected by COVID-19. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC linkages identified in this paper provide resources to support clinical decisions and guide critical thinking for nurses encountering care needs of families with COVID-19. Documentation of these linkages provides data that can create new knowledge to enhance the care of families impacted by COVID-19.

ABSTRACT Objective to analyze clinical changes in the breastfeeding process in the Neonatal Intensive Unit Care using the Nursing Outcomes Classification. Methods this longitudinal and prospective study was conducted in a public hospital at Neonatal Intensive Unit Care in Brazil. The sample consisted of 61 mother-infant dyads evaluated three times during breastfeeding by trained nurses who applied the Nursing Outcomes Classification scales. Statistical analysis was performed using Generalized Estimating Equation Models. Results most indicators of the two Nursing Outcomes studied presented a similar frequency of scores of 4 and 5. It was observed that in most indicators, there were clinical changes throughout the evaluations over time; however, the indicators related to the mother presented a higher risk of scoring 4 and 5 on the Likert scale. Conclusion the Nursing Outcomes Classification outcomes and indicators included successfully evaluated the clinical evolution of mother-infant dyads and proved to be applicable for use in Neonatal Intensive Unit Care. Contributions to practice: nurses can use the indicators to assess the quality of the proposed interventions.

Communicating Spiritual Care in the Electronic Health Record.

Chaplains must document their ministry of care in electronic health records that primarily focus on the physical dimension of care. Creating chaplain documentation that reflects the spiritual dimension of care requires chaplains to participate in the screen design. This article describes how chaplain documentation was designed and refined using psychometric methods. The resulting system successfully supported chaplain workflow, provided an ability to aggregate chaplain workload, and integrated the chaplain into the interprofessional team by structuring, linking, and sharing both the chaplain and nursing assessment of spiritual distress in the electronic health record. Documentation used 5-point Likert scales to measure different dimensions of patient spirituality. Reliability and validity were further evaluated as part of a workshop at an Association of Professional Chaplains annual meeting. Findings supported interrater reliability and the ability to predict and discriminate change pre and post encounter. Documentation screen content is presented.

Content validation of the nursing outcome Knowledge Heart Failure Management: Brazilian nurses' opinions.

PURPOSE: To estimate the content validity of the outcome Knowledge: Heart Failure Management (1835) of the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). METHODS: A methodological study conducted in Brazil with nurses with expertise in cardiovascular nursing and nursing process. The nurse experts evaluated the relevance of the indicators for the nursing outcome on a 5-point Likert scale. A total of 55 indicators were analyzed, including 50 NOC indicators, four indicators located from a scoping review, and one suggested by an expert during the content validation process. The relevance ratio supported the categorization of indicators as critical, supplemental, or unnecessary. Relevance ratios of critical and supplemental indicators were summed and divided by the total number of the indicators to calculate the outcome content validity (OCV) score of the nursing outcome. FINDINGS: Fifteen nurse experts, mostly females (n = 13) with a mean age of 36.0 ± 6.3 years, 13.9 ± 6.5 years of professional experience, and extensive use of the nursing process in their clinical practice (n = 10), teaching (n = 13), and research (n = 11), participated in this study. Regarding the content validation, 43 (78.2%) out of 55 indicators were categorized as critical (relevance ratio .80-.98), 11 (20%) as supplemental (relevance ratio .67-.79), and one indicator (1.8%) was categorized as unnecessary (relevance ratio .48). The OCV score of the nursing outcome was .87. CONCLUSION: The study provided evidence of content validity of 49 indicators of the NOC outcome, Knowledge: Heart Failure Management, and five new indicators identified through the validation process based on nurse experts' opinions. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NURSING PRACTICE: These findings provide evidence-based indicators for the measurement of heart failure patients' knowledge about disease management. As a result, nurses can test the effectiveness of nursing interventions based on valid outcome indicators.

The Nurse-Patient Outcome Content Validation Method.

PURPOSE: To describe a new method of validating nursing outcomes and indicators that incorporates nurses' and patients' perspectives. METHODS: The Nurse-Patient Outcome Content Validation Method was developed in light of the experience of conducting the content validation of the nursing outcome Knowledge: Heart Failure Management (1835). It was developed based on Fehring's content validation model used for the validation of NANDA International nursing diagnoses. It expands the concept of who is an expert in the validation of nursing outcomes. FINDINGS: The Nurse-Patient Outcome Content Validation Method is a new method in which the concept of experts is expanded to gather patients' as well as healthcare professionals' perspectives on the importance of indicators to measure an outcome. Based on the importance ratios, the indicators are grouped into three categories: critical, supplemental, or unnecessary. To validate the outcome, importance ratios of critical and supplemental indicators are summed and divided by the total number of the indicators to calculate the outcome content validity (OCV) score of the nursing outcome. CONCLUSION: The Nurse-Patient Outcome Content Validation Method is a new method of content validation of nursing outcome and indicators that incorporates the patient perspective. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The Nurse-Patient Outcome Content Validation Method provides a mechanism to include nurses' and patients' perspectives to content validity research of nursing outcomes. It supports patient empowerment since the patient is viewed as an expert regarding the experience of living and managing his/her clinical condition.

NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC Linkages to SARS-Cov-2 (Covid-19): Part 1. Community Response.

PURPOSE: We developed linkages using interoperable standardized nursing terminologies, NANDA International (NANDA-I) nursing diagnoses, Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), to present initial guidance for the development of care plans focused on COVID-19 for nurses practicing in community or public health roles. METHODS: Seven nurse experts identified the linkages of NANDA-I, NOC and NIC for our work related to the COVID-19 pandemic. A model was developed to guide the project. The first step in creating linkages focused on the identification of nursing diagnoses. Then, for each nursing diagnosis, outcomes aligned with all components of the diagnosis were categorized and a list of nursing interventions was selected. The experts used their clinical judgment to make final decisions on the linkages selected in this study. FINDINGS: Two community level nursing diagnoses were identified as key problems appropriate for a pandemic related to COVID-19: Deficient Community Health and Ineffective Community Coping. For the nursing diagnosis Deficient Community Health, eight nursing outcomes and 12 nursing interventions were selected. In comparison for the nursing diagnosis, Ineffective Community Coping, nine nursing outcomes and 18 nursing interventions were identified. A total of40 concepts were identified for future development across the three classifications. CONCLUSIONS: The nursing diagnoses, outcomes and interventions selected during this linkage process provide knowledge to support the community challenged with responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, provide the opportunity to quantify the impact of nursing care, and enhance nursing practice by promoting the use of three standardized terminologies. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: NANDA-I, NOC and NIC linkages identified in this manuscript provide resources to support clinical decisions and care plan development for nurses practicing in the community.

NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC linkages to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19): Part 2. Individual response.

PURPOSE: To provide guidance to nurses caring for individuals with COVID-19, we developed linkages using interoperable standardized nursing terminologies: NANDA International (NANDA-I) nursing diagnoses, Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). We also identified potential new NANDA-I nursing diagnoses, NOC outcomes, and NIC interventions for future development related to nurses' role during a pandemic. METHODS: Using a consensus process, seven nurse experts created the linkages for individuals during the COVID 19 pandemic using the following steps: (a) creating an initial list of potential nursing diagnoses, (b) selecting and categorizing outcomes that aligned with all components of each nursing diagnosis selected, and (c) identifying relevant nursing interventions. FINDINGS: A total of 16 NANDA-I nursing diagnoses were identified as the foundation for the linkage work, organized in two dimensions, physiological and psychosocial. A total of 171 different NOC outcomes were identified to guide care based on the nursing diagnoses and 96 NIC interventions were identified as suggested interventions. A total of 13 proposed concepts were identified for potential future development across the three classifications. CONCLUSIONS: The linkages of nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions developed in this article provide a guide to enhance nursing practice and determine the effectiveness of nurses' contribution to patient outcomes for individuals at risk for or infected by COVID-19. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC linkages identified in this paper are an important example of the value of using standardized nursing terminologies to guide and document nursing care. When included in electronic health record databases and used widely, the data generated from the care plans can be used to create new knowledge about how to better improve outcomes for patients with COVID-19.

Conceptual and operational definition of nursing outcomes regarding the breastfeeding establishment.

OBJECTIVE: to construct conceptual and operational definitions of Nursing Outcomes "Breastfeeding establishment: infant (1000)" and "Breastfeeding establishment: maternal (1001)". METHOD: integrative literature review in the following databases: PUBMED (United States National Library of Medicine); LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature); CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature); SciVerse SCOPUS; Web of Science; BDENF (Brazilian Nursing Database) and EMBASE (Excerpta Medica Database). The gray literature was explored to elucidate topics not covered by the articles. Of 3242 articles, 96 were selected to be read in full, and 43 were used for constructing the definitions. Five theses, three dissertations, three books and two manuals were selected. RESULTS: all the results were reviewed. The definitions facilitated the improvement of the content proposed by the Nursing Outcomes Classification, favoring its application in clinical practice and supporting the development of research and teaching. CONCLUSION: it was proposed to change the definition of the two outcomes, as well as to change the title of one of them to "Breastfeeding establishment: newborn & infant" (1000), modifying seven of its indicators and excluding one. For the outcome related to the mother, it was proposed to modify two indicators and exclude one.

NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC Linkages for Nutritional Problems.

PURPOSE: To determine nursing outcomes and interventions for problem-focused nursing diagnoses related to nutritional problems. METHODS: Judgment of linkages among nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions using a multiple review process. Five nursing diagnoses were selected, and then outcomes and interventions were determined, based on clinical expertise and scientific literature. FINDINGS: Nursing outcomes and interventions were determined for the resolution or improvement of the nursing diagnoses, with selection of interventions that could influence the progression of the outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides knowledge for developing care plans for patients with nutritional problems and evaluating the response to the interventions. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: NANDA-I, Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), and Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) linkages facilitate nurses' ability to select nursing outcomes and interventions for patients with nutritional problems.

Health education: the effectiveness of interventions in patients with heart failure.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of NIC interventions "Teaching: Disease Process", "Health Education" and "Cardiac Care" in the improvement of NOC results in individuals with Heart Failure (HF), and the Nursing Diagnosis (ND) "Ineffective Health Control". METHODS: Retrospective cohort, conducted at a Health Education in Nursing outpatient clinic. Fourteen patients with HF had follow-up for one year in six bimonthly consultations. The effectiveness of interventions was verified through the change of the result scores through the Friedman's Non-Parametric Test and Analysis of Non-Parametric Variance for repeated measures. The level of significance was 5%. RESULTS: The interventions were implemented in consultations in a variety of activities. There was a significant improvement in the result scores until the fourth visit (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The interventions were effective in improving outcomes in patients with HF and Ineffective Health Control.

Effectiveness of Nursing Interventions using Standardized Nursing Terminologies: An Integrative Review.

The purpose of this integrative review is to synthesize recent literature that used NANDA International diagnoses, Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) to determine the effectiveness of nursing interventions and cost-analysis and to identify the direction for future effectiveness research using standardized nursing terminologies (SNTs). A search was performed using the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Scopus, and KoreaMed, covering the period from 2003 to 2018. A total 267 articles were identified, and 24 articles were analyzed for this review. Eighteen studies evaluated the effectiveness of nursing interventions based on outcomes, and of those 18 studies, four examined the effectiveness based on the development of NNN linkages. Six studies analyzed the cost of nursing interventions. Integrating SNTs into electronic health records (EHRs), developing NNN linkages, and further effectiveness studies using SNTs are required to determine the value of nursing care to improve patient outcomes.
