Mapping nursing goals of an Intensive Care Unit to the Nursing Outcomes Classification

Abstract

Aim: to analyze whether nursing goals formulated for nursing diagnoses can be mapped to nursing outcomes classification and to identify the scales most appropriate to the outcomes mapped. Method: a descriptive study was developed in an intensive care unit. Data collection involved extraction of goals in 44 medical records, content standardization, cross-mapping to the outcomes, identification of appropriated scales and validation. Descriptive analysis and agreement with the cross-mapping process were performed. Results: nursing goals (59) were mapped to (28) different outcomes, with agreement of 83% in the mapping process. All goals were mapped to outcomes, which allows to affirm that these outcomes contemplates the goals elaborated to patient care. Conclusion: these results favor the inclusion of outcomes and scales validated in the planning and evaluation phases of the nursing process of a software in construction. Identificación de metas de enfermería de una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos a la Clasificación de Resultados de EnfermeríaObjetivo: analizar si en las metas formuladas desde diagnósticos de enfermería pueden ser identificados resultados y escalas apropiadas a los resultados identificados. Método: estudio descriptivo realizado en unidad de terapia intensiva. La colecta envolvió extracción de las metas registradas en 44 prontuarios, normalización de contenido, identificación de resultados, de las escalas apropiadas y validación. Análisis descriptivo y de concordancia con el proceso de identificación fueron procedidas. Resultados: En las metas de enfermería (59) fueron identificados diferentes resultados (28), con concordancia del 83% en el proceso de identificación. En todas las metas fueron identificados resultados, lo que permite afirmar que ésos contemplan las metas elaboradas para los pacientes atendidos. Conclusión: los hallazgos favorecen la inclusión de resultados y escalas en las etapas de planificación y evaluación en un software con el proceso de enfermería en construcción.

“…Similarly, the PUSH (11) does not identify the different types of secretion. When using the NOC indicators (12) , these questions could be specified, because addressed the professional operational definitions to assess objectively each of these elements in a standardized manner (25)(26) . That is, it was possible to quantify the exudate and characterize its aspect along with the PU healing process.…”

Cross-mapping of results and Nursing Interventions: contribution to the practice

“…The registry of clinical decisions includes the set of data that result in diagnoses, interventions and nursing outcomes achieved. This formal registration is a fundamental requirement for the health information system and, when supported in a standardized language system (SLS), enables interdisciplinary communication, facilitates quality assessment of care, promotes patient and professional safety, provides institutional information about the patient and provides the development of science, the production of knowledge and the contribution of nursing in the different care settings (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) .…”
