Nursing interventions and outcomes classifications in patients with wounds: cross-mapping. / Classificações de intervenções e resultados de enfermagem em pacientes com feridas: mapeamento cruzado.

ABSTRACT

Objective Cross-mapping of terms referring to nursing interventions and outcomes in the medical records of patients with wounds compared to nursing interventions and nursing outcomes classifications. Method An observational retrospective study based on cross-mapping. The sample consisted of 81 outpatients treated in a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Data was collected from medical records between May and July of 2013. The analysis was done in four steps: search for phrases used to describe interventions and outcomes; setting the frequency of occurrence of phrases; grouping synonyms; comparison of terms with taxonomies. Results 13 interventions were mapped and the most frequent was "Care with wounds" (47.23%). Also, 6 results were mapped and the priority was "Wound healing secondary intention" (45%). Conclusions The use of cross-mapping of terms referring to interventions and nursing outcomes in patients with wounds suggested additions to the taxonomies for adaptation to outpatient care.
