Abstract

Our objective was to identify the most frequent nursing diagnoses in a gynecological admission unit. The defining characteristics were surveyed from the data reported in the nursing case history and the patient files of 30 patients. The nursing diagnoses were found according to the revised NANDA Taxionomy I. The five most frequent nursing diagnoses were: risk for infection (30 cases); risk for pain (24 cases); health-seeking behaviors (11cases); fear (10 cases) and stress incontinence (5 cases).

RLAE’s authorship concept is based on the substantial contribution by each of the individuals listed as authors, mainly in terms of conceiving and planning the research project, collecting or analyzing and interpreting data, writing and critical review. Indication of authors’ names under the article title is limited to six. If more, authors are listed on the online submission form under Acknowledgements. The possibility of including more than six authors will only be examined on multicenter studies, considering the explanations presented by the authors.
Including names of authors whose contribution does not fit into the above criteria cannot be justified. Those names can be included in the Acknowledgements section.
