“…Knowing how the defining characteristics were operationalized is essential to evaluate research, outcomes, conclusions and to identify criteria that can be used in clinical practice. (6) While the conceptual definition expresses the abstract or theoretical sense of the concept being studied, whose final result has the purpose of giving meaning to this concept for those who are studying it, the operational definition specifies the operation that should be completed to collect necessary information in terms of procedures by which the concept should be measured.…”

“…(6) In clinical practice, the definitions of the defining characteristics of nursing diagnoses provide subsidies for nurses to identify the same signs and symptoms corresponding to the real condition of the child. However, a set of definitions developed for one population is not necessarily appropriate for another, so there is a need for specific studies and distribution of the results for use in clinical practice.…”

“…(6,(15)(16)(17) The development of a database, with conceptual and operational definitions for the characteristics of nursing diagnoses, represents team work that should be encouraged among nurses who study the NANDA-I taxonomy, and it is a topic of discussion of current research.…”

“…(4) In the practice of nursing diagnosis, the understanding of the defining characteristics of the diagnoses may be different among professionals, which may compromise the diagnostic accuracy and, consequently, the quality of nursing care and patient safety, if interventions dissonant to the actual needs are proposed and implemented. (5,6) The accuracy of the nursing interpretations about patient responses differ in a significant manner. (7) Operational and conceptual definitions provide meaning to a concept and are essential components for understanding the defining characteristics, as they describe what is being assessed and how it should be evaluated.…”

“…The establishment of guidelines for identification of nursing diagnoses in specific populations, may improve the diagnostic accuracy, promoting the understanding and interpretation of signs and symptoms in a similar manner by all nurses. (6) Several different studies were encountered in the literature dealing with the conceptual and operational definitions of the defining characteristics of some nursing diagnoses, but they were related to adult and pediatric populations, with few in newborn infants. (6,8,9) This fact motivated the development of the present study.…”

Objective: To develop and validate conceptual and operational definitions for the defining characteristics of the respiratory nursing diagnoses, ineffective breathing pattern, impaired gas exchange and impaired spontaneous ventilation, in newborns. Methods: This was a methodological study of conceptual validation of the defining characteristics of three respiratory nursing diagnoses, by consensus analysis of a committee of five specialist nurses, and then a group of five non-nursing professionals, using the Delphi technique. Results: After two rounds of evaluation, consensus was obtained that was equal to or greater than 80% on all of the definitions, which were then considered validated. Conclusion: The definitions developed for the defining characteristics of three nursing diagnoses were validated with a high level of consensus. ResumoObjetivo: Elaborar e validar definições conceituais e operacionais para as características definidoras dos diagnósticos de enfermagem respiratórios, Padrão Respiratório Ineficaz, Troca de Gases Prejudicada e Ventilação Espontânea Prejudicada em recém-nascidos. Métodos: Estudo metodológico, de validação conceitual das características definidoras dos três diagnósticos de enfermagem respiratórios por meio da análise de consenso de um comitê de cinco enfermeiras especialistas e de cinco profissionais não enfermeiros, utilizando a técnica Delphi. Resultados: Após duas rodadas de avaliação, obteve-se consenso igual ou superior a 80% na totalidade das definições, sendo consideradas validadas. Conclusão: As definições elaboradas para as características definidoras dos três diagnósticos de enfermagem foram validadas com elevado grau de consenso.
