OBJECTIVES: to analyze when the nursing process began to be used in the public and private healthcare centers of Gipuzkoa (Basque Country), and when both NANDA-I nursing diagnoses and the NIC-NOC terminologies were incorporated into this process. METHOD: a retrospective study was conducted, based on the analysis of nursing records that were used in the 158 studied centers. RESULTS: the specific data provided showed that in Gipuzkoa, the nursing process began to be used in the 1990s. As for NANDA-I nursing diagnoses, they have been used since 1996, and the NIC-NOC terminologies has been used since 2004. CONCLUSION: it was concluded that public centers are the ones which, generally speaking, first began with the nursing methodology, and that in comparison to the United States and Canada, the nursing process started to be used about 20 years later, NANDA-I nursing diagnoses around 15 years later, and the NIC-NOC terminologies, around six years later.
OBJECTIVE: to analyze what nursing models and nursing assessment structures have been used
in the implementation of the nursing process at the public and private centers in
the health area Gipuzkoa (Basque Country). METHOD: a retrospective study was undertaken, based on the analysis of the nursing
records used at the 158 centers studied. RESULTS: the Henderson model, Carpenito's bifocal structure, Gordon's assessment structure
and the Resident Assessment Instrument Nursing Home 2.0 have been used as nursing
models and assessment structures to implement the nursing process. At some
centers, the selected model or assessment structure has varied over time. CONCLUSION: Henderson's model has been the most used to implement the nursing process.
Furthermore, the trend is observed to complement or replace Henderson's model by
nursing assessment structures.
