Objetivo: descrever o julgamento clínico de enfermagem para identificar diagnósticos NANDA e desenvolver um plano de tratamento NIC para uma criança em pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca em terapia intensiva. Método: estudo de caso com coleta de dados retrospectiva no prontuário. Resultados: três enfermeiras identificaram diagnósticos NANDA e intervenções NIC. Criança de 6 meses, submetida a cirurgia cardíaca, necessitou oxigenação extracorpórea por membrana no pós-operatório. Foram identificados quatro principais diagnósticos, aos quais foram direcionadas dez intervenções. A proposta de intervenções para responder às necessidades humanas prioritárias da criança foi otimizada pelo uso das terminologias padronizadas. Todos os diagnósticos foram sustentados por indicadores diagnósticos; todas as intervenções foram cientificamente sustentadas. Conclusão: espera-se que os enfermeiros abordem não somente as respostas fisiológicas, mas também aquelas dos domínios psicossociais.

Nursing ,RT1-120 - Abstract
El objetivo del estudio fue explorar indicadores diagnósticos en neonatos para diagnóstico de enfermería aprobado por NANDA International, Inc., hipotermia, y para uno diagnóstico propuesto, el riesgo de hipotermia. En esta revisión integradora, 23 artículos fueron revisados de CINAHL, PubMed y Lilacs, de enero a abril de 2013. Los datos fueron extraídos de los artículos y sintetizados para desarrollar una lista de potenciales factores relacionados y/o de riesgo y características definitorias. Se identificaron potenciales características definitorias y factores relacionados asociados a los recién nacidos durante las pruebas clínicas en hipotermia (23 y 17 respectivamente). Veintitrés factores de riesgo se identificaron para el riesgo de hipotermia. Indicadores diagnósticos para diagnósticos de enfermería que ponen a los recién nacidos en riesgo de morbilidad y mortalidad permitirán detección y evaluación de riesgos más apropiadas. Estos indicadores diagnósticos recientemente identificados requieren investigaciones para validar su utilidad clínica.

Purpose To clinically validate indicators of the nursing outcomes "Breastfeeding establishment: Infant (1000)" and "Breastfeeding establishment: maternal (1001)", and their conceptual and operational definitions in infants admitted to a neonatal unit and their mothers. Method This study utilized several methods in a stepwise approach including an integrative review of the literature, content validation, and clinical validation. The content validity index was performed by eight experts, who evaluated revised content of the studied nursing outcomes. In the clinical validation, 61 mother-infant dyads were evaluated by two pairs of nurses: one pair used an instrument with developed definitions, whereas the other used an instrument without definitions. The evaluations were compared using Fleiss' kappa and weighted kappa. Results The agreement between all evaluators was considered excellent for almost all nursing outcome indicators related to the mothers. The pair of evaluators using the definitions had an agreement greater than 0.80 for most indicators. For the pair that did not use the definitions, agreement was poor. Conclusion There was an increase in uniformity and accuracy between the assessments when using the conceptual and operational definitions for the nursing outcome indicators related to Breastfeeding establishment. Implications for nursing practice This study contributed to the development of terms within the Nursing Outcomes Classification, and enriched the body of nursing knowledge.

Nursing ,RT1-120 - Abstract
We have a problem. Somehow, along the way, we lost track of what the nursing process is supposed to represent. Organizations produce documentation (often lots of paper or many computer screens of data) incorporating nursing assessment, diagnoses/patient problems, interventions and outcomes which meet the requirements of accrediting organizations and regulatory bodies. However, ask the nurses what they think about the nursing process and you will often see eyes rolling, and hear complaints about the amount of time it takes “to do” the nursing process. It is a requirement that seems to be without benefit or purpose to many in practice.

Purpose This article explores the current structure of NANDA-I nursing diagnoses (ND) labels. Methods Critical analysis of the ND labels, as categorized in the NANDA-I terminology. Findings Most of the 244 ND labels are composed of terms from the focus and judgment axes. Conclusions The specificity of the human responses toward health and life transitions may not be totally represented in the two most common axes, as categorized within taxonomy II. Implications for nursing practice Improvements in NANDA-I diagnosis labels would contribute to an advanced terminology and to increased specificity and accuracy of the diagnostic process that is needed in clinical practice. Completeness of the ND labels would reflect clinical reasoning preciseness and help students and nurses in delivering more personalized, safe, and effective patient-centered care. Objetivo Este artigo explora os titulos dos diagnosticos de enfermagem da NANDA-I. METODOS: Analise critica dos titulos dos diagnosticos de enfermagem da NANDA-I. Resultados A maioria dos 244 diagnosticos de enfermagem classificados sao compostos essencialmente por termos referentes ao foco e ao julgamento. CONCLUSOES: A especificidade das respostas as transicoes de saude e vida pode nao estar totalmente representada nos dois eixos mais comuns, como apresentado na taxonomia II. IMPLICACOES PARA A PRATICA: Melhorias nos diagnosticos da NANDA-I em relacao ao seu aspeto multiaxial contribuiriam no desenvolvimento da sua terminologia e poderiam melhorar a especificidade e acuracia do processo diagnostico que e necessario a pratica clinica. Complementar os titulos dos diagnosticos de enfermagem poderia refletir a acuracia do raciocinio clinico e ajudar os estudantes e enfermeiros em prestarem cuidados centrados no paciente mais personalizados, seguros e eficazes.

PURPOSE To critically evaluate 2014 American Academy of Nursing (AAN) call-to-action plan for generating interoperable nursing data. DATA SOURCES Healthcare literature. DATA SYNTHESIS AAN's plan will not generate the nursing data needed to participate in big data science initiatives in the short term because Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes and Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms are not yet ripe for generating interoperable data. Well-tested viable alternatives exist. CONCLUSIONS Authors present recommendations for revisions to AAN's plan and an evidence-based alternative to generating interoperable nursing data in the near term. These revisions can ultimately lead to the proposed terminology goals of the AAN's plan in the long term.

The identification of clinical indicators with good predictive ability allows the nurse to minimize the existing variability in clinical situations presented by the patient and to accurately identify the nursing diagnosis, which represents the true clinical condition. The purpose of this study was to analyze the accuracy of NANDA-I clinical indicators of the nursing diagnosis ineffective airway clearance (IAC) in children with acute respiratory infection. This was a prospective cohort study conducted with a group of 136 children and followed for a period of time ranging from 6 to 10 consecutive days. For data analysis, the measures of accuracy were calculated for clinical indicators, which presented statistical significance in a generalized estimated equation model. IAC was present in 91.9% of children in the first assessment. Adventitious breath sounds presented the best measure of accuracy. Ineffective cough presented a high value of sensitivity. Changes in respiratory rate, wide-eyed, diminished breath sounds, and difficulty vocalizing presented high positive predictive values. In conclusion, adventitious breath sounds showed the best predictive ability to diagnose IAC in children with respiratory acute infection.

Purpose To identify the frequency of the nursing diagnoses, ineffective breathing pattern, impaired gas exchange and impaired spontaneous ventilation in newborns; and, to analyze the accuracy of diagnostic indicators identified for each of these diagnoses. Methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted with a nonprobability sample of 92 infants. Data collected were represented by demographic and clinical variables, clinical indicators of the three respiratory nursing diagnoses from NANDA International, and were analyzed according to frequency and agreement between pairs of expert nurses (Kappa). Findings Ineffective breathing pattern was identified in 74.5% of infants; impaired gas exchange was noted in 31.5%; impaired spontaneous ventilation was found in 16.8% of subjects. Use of accessory muscles to breathe showed the highest sensitivity for ineffective breathing pattern; abnormal blood gases had the best predictive value for impaired gas exchange. Use of accessory muscles to breathe had the highest sensitivity for impaired spontaneous ventilation. Conclusions Ineffective breathing pattern was the most frequently identified; use of accessory muscles, alteration in depth of breathing, abnormal breathing, and dyspnea were the most representative signs/symptoms. Implication for nursing practice Early recognition of respiratory conditions can support safe interventions to ensure appropriate outcomes.

Medical Terminology ,Medical Assisting and Transcription - Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore diagnostic indicators in the neonatal population for one nursing diagnosis approved by NANDA International, Inc., hypothermia, and for a proposed diagnosis, risk for hypothermia. In this integrative review, 23 articles were reviewed from the Cinahl, PubMed, and LILACS databases during the period of January through April, 2013. Data were drawn from the articles and synthesized to develop a list of potential related and/or risk factors, and defining characteristics. Potential newborn-related defining characteristics and related factors were identified for clinical testing in hypothermia, (23 and 17, respectively). Twenty-three risk factors were identified for risk for hypothermia. Diagnostic indicators for nursing diagnoses that place newborns at risk of morbidity and mortality will enable risk screening and more adequate assessments. These newly identified diagnostic indicators require research to validate their clinical usefulness.

PURPOSE: Sedated patients in induced comas may experience ineffective eyelid closure, presenting higher risk for corneal ulcer. The objective was to identify evidence-based practice for corneal ulcer prevention within the intensive care unit. METHODS: A systematic literature review of nine articles was performed. CONCLUSIONS: Questions remain about which care practice is most effective, although most studies consider a humidity chamber with polyethylene film to be the best practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: A proposed NANDA-I nursing diagnosis, risk for corneal injury, reflects this human response that demands nursing assessment and intervention. This study provides evidence toward developing nursing interventions and practice guidelines for the care of these patients.

Objetivo: descrever o julgamento clínico de enfermagem para identificar diagnósticos NANDA e desenvolver um plano de tratamento NIC para uma criança em pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca em terapia intensiva. Método: estudo de caso com coleta de dados retrospectiva no prontuário. Resultados: três enfermeiras identificaram diagnósticos NANDA e intervenções NIC. Criança de 6 meses, submetida a cirurgia cardíaca, necessitou oxigenação extracorpórea por membrana no pós-operatório. Foram identificados quatro principais diagnósticos, aos quais foram direcionadas dez intervenções. A proposta de intervenções para responder às necessidades humanas prioritárias da criança foi otimizada pelo uso das terminologias padronizadas. Todos os diagnósticos foram sustentados por indicadores diagnósticos; todas as intervenções foram cientificamente sustentadas. Conclusão: espera-se que os enfermeiros abordem não somente as respostas fisiológicas, mas também aquelas dos domínios psicossociais.

To determine the accuracy of NANDA-I defining characteristics for the nursing diagnosis, ineffective breathing pattern, in children with acute respiratory infection.This was a prospective cohort study in 136 children. Measures of accuracy were calculated for the defining characteristics.Use of accessory muscles to breathe presented the best measure of accuracy. Alterations in depth of breathing presented a high value of sensitivity. Altered chest excursion and orthopnea presented high values of specificity.Use of accessory muscles to breathe showed the best predictive capacity for ineffective breathing pattern.Measures of accuracy can contribute to an accurate diagnostic inference process, improving patient assessment and facilitating rapid, accurate diagnosis.

Sedated patients in induced comas may experience ineffective eyelid closure, presenting higher risk for corneal ulcer. The objective was to identify evidence-based practice for corneal ulcer prevention within the intensive care unit.A systematic literature review of nine articles was performed.Questions remain about which care practice is most effective, although most studies consider a humidity chamber with polyethylene film to be the best practice.A proposed NANDA-I nursing diagnosis, risk for corneal injury, reflects this human response that demands nursing assessment and intervention. This study provides evidence toward developing nursing interventions and practice guidelines for the care of these patients.

PURPOSE. The Diagnosis Development Committee (DDC) of NANDA International frequently receives proposed “physiologic” and “surveillance diagnosis” submissions that may not meet the current definition of nursing diagnosis (NANDA, 2007, p. 332). There has been a request for a vote on newly proposed definitions of nursing diagnosis, risk diagnosis, and syndromes. The purpose of this article is to provide information which enables members and interested nurses to continue the dialogue and to share their thoughts and also to consider the thoughts and information generated by the participants in the NANDA-I interest survey on the definition of nursing diagnoses. DATA SOURCES. An electronic survey of the current NANDA-I definitions, and potential changes to those definitions, was distributed via the NANDA-I Web site. This article summarizes the overall findings of that survey and provides an overview of commentary received from the 269 participants. CONCLUSIONS. It is necessary to continue the dialogue on this important decision and to provide a mechanism for input from members and interested nurses before reaching any conclusions on this subject. NURSING IMPLICATIONS. NANDA-I has been recognized as the leader in the development and implementation of nursing diagnoses and must act responsibly in assessing the changing and emerging trends in nursing practice and in responding to these trends.

This column describes the work of the Nursing Diagnosis Extension and Classification (NDEC) research team, which works in a collaborative agreement with NANDA to refine and extend the nursing diagnosis classification. Information in this column is for feedback and dialog only, and does not indicate NANDA acceptance of the content. NDEC contributions and recommendations will be processed by NANDA through its DRC Committee. Postscript. A joint meeting of members from NANDA and NDEC occurred in Boston after this column was submitted. Present were: Dr. Dorothy Jones (President, NANDA), Drs. Marjory Gordon and T. Heather Herdman (Co-chairs, DRC Committee), and Dr. Martha Craft-Rosenberg (Co-principal investigator, NDEC). The purpose of the meeting was to clarify and strengthen the collaborative relationship between NANDA and NDEC. NDEC's guidelines for development and evaluation of diagnoses vary somewhat from NANDA criteria for staging nursing diagnoses. For example, NDEC guidelines state that a nursing diagnosis label is a noun phrase, whereas NANDA's definition of a diagnosis label is “a concise term or phrase that represents a pattern of related cues” (NANDA, 1999, pp. 149–150). The people at the recent meeting determined that guideline development would occur jointly, along with a periodic review of those guidelines. The next issue of tills column will be devoted to highlighting the ongoing collaborative relationship between NANDA and NDEC. It is our hope that this format will stimulate dialogue among the readership.
