Purpose:
To explore the relevance of the Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS) in Finland.
Methods:
A three-round Delphi technique (10 participants) and content analysis of 134 articles from the Journal of the Finnish Operating Room Nurses Association.
Findings:
All the PNDS outcomes, 86% of the diagnoses, and 87% of the interventions were found to be relevant. The Delphi panel suggested, and content analysis revealed, 6 new outcomes, 43 new diagnoses, and 11 new interventions. Consensus was achieved on 77%. The phrases used in perioperative articles corresponded with those of PNDS 56%-78% of the time.
Conclusions:
PNDS can be used to describe perioperative nursing in Finland. Further conceptualization and validation are needed before using the data set in perioperative practice.
Implications For Practice:
Although PNDS cannot be implemented in Finland as is, it is a valid structure for further development of the terminology, contents, methods, and practice of Finnish perioperative documentation.
