Paths taken by Brazilian Nursing for the development of terminological subsets

Abstract

Objective: to discuss the paths taken by Brazilian Nursing in the development of terminological subsets of the International Classification for Nursing Practice. Method: documentary research, carried out in master’s dissertations and doctoral theses, which developed terminological subsets, available at the Bank of Doctoral Theses and Master’s Dissertations of the Under-graduation Personnel Improvement Coordination. The variables were analyzed were institution, year; academic level, type of health service, methodological approach, clientele, theoretical reference, validation of terms, cross mapping, modeling of new concepts, validation of statements, method used for elaboration, term collection, finalization and dissemination. Results: 124 doctoral theses and master’s dissertations were found, 91 were excluded and 33 were included, 23 (69.70%) of which were master’s dissertations, with the highest production in 2014 (n=10; 30.30%), with emphasis on the Northeast (36.36%); the ‘Primary Care’ scenario, with six studies (18.18%); and the predominant clientele was cancer patients. As for the methodological characteristics, in 96% of the studies, the quantitative approach was used; in 2%, a qualitative approach; and 2% associated the quantitative and qualitative approaches. As for the type of study, 60% were methodological and 24% descriptive-exploratory, with the Horta model being the most used (36%). Conclusion: the paths are successful, yet still permeated by weaknesses in the validations and potentialities to standardize the language.

Terminological subset of the International Classification for Nursing Practice for patients hospitalized due to burns

“…The production focused on the theme becomes relevant since there are few studies involving the development of nursing diagnoses, results, and interventions for people with burns and the use of classification systems (6)(7) . In addition, a study points to the use of ICNP® in several areas, such as: colostomized patient, domestic violence against children and adolescents, care for women and children in the breastfeeding process, prostatectomized patient, community-based elderly, palliative care, and people hospitalized with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome; thus, it can be observed that there is a gap in what regards the studies with the burned person, a fact that justifies the research (8) .…”

Termos da linguagem especializada de enfermagem no cuidado ao recém-nascido com cateter venoso central

“…Por fim, como a assistência de enfermagem e a profissão já alcançaram o status de ciência, isso vem, atualmente, ressaltando a importância dos registros e da conscientização da relevância de se documentar a prática de enfermagem, sob o aspecto de que a informação é o elemento essencial para sistematizar um modelo de cuidado estruturado. Assim, destaca-se o fundamental papel das terminologias especializadas, o qual revela considerável evolução para a documentação da prática mediante a sua metodologia na padronização da linguagem (31)(32)(33) . No contexto do cuidado ao RN em uso do PICC, a identificação e o uso desses termos bem desenhados e padronizados favorecem a unificação da linguagem profissional, facilitam a comunicação entre os profissionais de saúde, permitem a utilização de termos mais adequados às reais necessidades de saúde, possibilitam a avaliação do cuidado e a geração de indicadores e promovem a segurança dos cuidados prestados.…”

Nursing diagnoses, results, and interventions in the care for Covid-19 patients in critical condition

“…These consist of nursing diagnoses, results, and interventions, directed to specific groups of people. This ICNP® is a standardized language that represents nursing practice in the world and promotes the appropriate use of NP, expressing itself in competent collection, storage, and analysis of nursing data, resulting in the recognition of the profession and the reality of people's lives (5)(6) .…”

“…In view of the advantages arising from the development of a terminological subset, its construction and dissemination is increasingly present on the world and Brazilian scenes. So far, ten terminological subsets (5) have been published by the International Nurses Council (ICN). However, none in the context of COVID-19, which warrants the present study.…”
