Terminological subset of ICNP® for people with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis

Abstract

Objectives: To construct and validate a terminological subset of the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP®) for people with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Method: Methodological study developed in accordance with the recommendations of the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and the Brazilian method, in the following stages: construction of ND/NO and NI statements of the ICNP® for nursing practice for people with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis, based on previously constructed specialized terminology and in accordance with Wanda Horta’s Basic Human Needs Theory; and content validation of the statements by focus groups with specialist nurses. The Content Validity Index was used and statements ≥ 0.80 were validated. Results: 82 diagnoses, 130 outcomes and 556 nursing interventions were constructed. After validation, most of the diagnoses (74.5%), outcomes (72.9%) and nursing interventions (65.8%) were classified under psychobiological needs. Conclusion: A subset with a predominance of statements related to psychobiological needs was constructed and validated, standing out for being the first directed at the care of people with chronic kidney conditions undergoing hemodialysis treatment.
