Abstract:
Joining in the effort of the International Council of Nurses (ICN) to develop the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP), the Brazilian Nursing Association (ABEn) designed the project International Classification of Nursing Practice in Collective Health (CIPESC). One of the purposes of that project was to contribute to the confirmation of terms that have already been identified and/or the identification of new terms that might expand the ICNP. As a first phase of the project, quantitative data were collected to describe the research sites and the nursing staff composition; in the second phase, using focus group methodology, qualitative data were collected and analyzed to describe the collective health nursing practices, and to produce a vocabulary inventory of terms related to nursing phenomena and nursing actions in collective health in Brazil. This article describes the methodology and the results of the second way of analyzing the qualitative data collected--production of a vocabulary inventory of terms related to nursing phenomena and nursing actions in collective health.
