Terminological subsets of the International Classification for Nursing Practice - ICNP® for senior patients: a methodological study

Abstract

Aims: To set out terms to be used in diagnosis/outcomes statements as well as in nursing interventions directed to senior patients; to formulate terminological subsets of the INCP ® for the elderly in the municipality of João Pessoa-PB. This study is based on the Life Model theory. Method: The study process involves the following four stages: identification of the patient; collection of relevant terms and concepts with regard to the senior patient; formulation of terminological subsets of the INCP ® for the elderly; proposal for a terminological subset of the INCP ® for the elderly. Results: The analysis has shown that all 127 terms used in diagnosis/outcomes statements and 617 nursing interventions contain all the features considered relevant for a good quality of life in old age. Conclusion: After being duly validated, these new subsets should be a helpful resource for healthcare providers working at Primary Care centers in the municipality of João Pessoa-PB.

Some publications had links between them (9)(10)(11)17,20,22,31,34,42) (either because the articles were derived from studies developed in postgraduate programs (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)31,34) , or because the studies were divided into two parts (10)(11)17,22,42) ).
