Application of Nursing Diagnoses, Interventions, and Outcomes to Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgery in Korea

Abstract

This study provides a framework for documenting nurses' work; the results of the study can promote more rapid computerization of nursing records.

Content Validation of the Nursing Diagnosis Acute Pain in the Czech Republic and Slovakia

“…Acute pain is one of the most frequently made nursing diagnoses in clinical practice (Junttila, Hupli, & Salantera, ; Yom, Sung, & Yoo, ). It is one of the most common issues faced by nurses, requiring assessment, intervention, and evaluation.…”
