ISO/TR 12300:2016 for clinical cross-terminology mapping: contribution to nursing

Abstract

This theoretical and reflective study aimed to assess the contribution of the ISO/TR 12300:2016 document for the mapping of nursing terminology. The referred document and related articles were used as an empirical framework. The study analyzed the content of the document, highlighting cardinality and equivalence principles. The standard presents conceptual and operational basis for mapping, with cardinality and equivalence as the support for the categorization of cross-terminology mapping in the area of nursing. Cardinality verifies candidate target terms to represent the source term, while the equivalence degree scale checks semantic correspondence. Among the principles included in the ISO/TR 12300:2016, cardinality and equivalence contribute to the accurate representation of the results of the cross-terminology mapping process and its use should decrease inconsistencies.

Terminological relationships between nursing diagnoses for children with kidney diseases

“…The statements of the diagnoses were classified according to the criteria of the degree of equivalence and cardinality assessment scale in the cross-mapping process, according to ISO/ TR 12300:2016, considering the diagnoses that had a rating of 1 (lexical and conceptual meaning equivalence), 2 (Equivalence of meaning but with synonymy), 3 (Source term is broader and has less specific meaning than target term), 4 (Source term is narrower and has more specific meaning than target term ) and 5 (No mapping is possible) (9) .…”

“…Judging the relevance of these systems for research, teaching and nursing care, since they demonstrate a set of structured and organized knowledge, the realization of cross mapping is configured as a predictive method of the relationship between such systems, when based on diagnostic reasoning, it is expected to achieve the same concept for the grouping of clinical evidence, enabling interoperability and identification of divergences between systems (9) . With this, it was identified the need to carry out a study on the relationship between the main systems, since there are few studies developed with this objective, thus reflecting a gap in knowledge regarding the scenario of care for children with kidney diseases, thus revealing an incentive for Nursing (10)(11)(12) .…”

Relações terminológicas entre diagnósticos de enfermagem para crianças com doenças renais

“…Os enunciados dos diagnósticos foram classificados segundo os critérios da escala de avaliação de grau de equivalência e cardinalidade no processo de mapeamento cruzado, conforme a ISO/TR 12300:2016, sendo considerados os diagnósticos que tiveram avaliação 1 (Equivalência de significado léxica e conceitual), 2 (Equivalência de significado, mas com sinonímia), 3 (O termo-fonte é mais amplo e tem menos significado específico que o termo-alvo), 4 (O termo-fonte é mais restrito e tem mais significado específico que o termo-alvo) e 5 (Nenhum mapeamento é possível) (9) .…”

“…Julgando a relevância destes sistemas para a pesquisa, ensino e assistência em enfermagem, já que demonstram um conjunto de conhecimentos estruturados e organizados, a realização do mapeamento cruzado configura-se como um método preditivo da relação entre tais sistemas, quando a partir do raciocínio diagnóstico, espera-se alcançar o mesmo conceito para o agrupamento de indícios clínicos, possibilitando a interoperabilidade e a identificação de divergências entre os sistemas (9) . Com isso, identificou-se a necessidade de realizar um estudo sobre a relação entre os principais sistemas, já que são escassos os estudos desenvolvidos com esse objetivo, refletindo assim uma lacuna no conhecimento quanto ao cenário de cuidados as crianças com doenças renais, revelando assim um incentivo para a Enfermagem (10)(11)(12) .…”

Nursing Diagnoses for People Living With Hiv: Relationships Between Terminologies

“…Considering the importance of different language systems and their merit for health care environments, and that they are composed of a set of structured and logically organized knowledge, strategies such as cross-mapping are understood as a predictive method of the relationship between such systems. Therefore, through diagnostic reasoning it is expected to achieve the same concept for the grouping of clinical evidence, enabling interoperability and the identification of divergences between systems [6][7]10 .…”
