The International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) is a unified nursing language developed by the International Council of Nurses (ICN). Its latest version, ICNP 1.0, uses advanced methods for standardized nursing terminology, improving data comparison and decision-making globally.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Informatics
  • Health Terminology Standards
  • Ontology Engineering

Background:

  • The International Council of Nurses (ICN) developed the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) as a unified nursing language.
  • Previous versions (Alpha, Beta, Beta 2) focused on concept validation and multi-axial structures for nursing phenomena and actions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and maintenance processes of the ICNP Programme, emphasizing increased participation.
  • To detail the evolution and implementation of ICNP, particularly focusing on ICNP Version 1.0.

Main Methods:

  • Development and testing of ICNP versions, including concept validation and classification.
  • Application of description logics and Web Ontology Language (OWL) in Protégé for ICNP Version 1.0's compositional terminology.

  • Representation in a 7-Axis multiaxial model for composing nursing statements.

    • Main Results:

    • ICNP Version 1.0, launched in 2005, utilizes compositional terminology and a 7-Axis model for nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes.
    • ICNP conforms to international standards like ISO and HL7, facilitating cross-mapping with existing terminologies.
    • Implementation requires language translations and clinical information systems integration for point-of-care use.

    Conclusions:

    • Standardized ICNP terminology in healthcare environments enables practice comparison across settings and countries.
    • Facilitates data-driven clinical and management decisions, contributing to best practice guidelines and optimal patient outcomes.
    • Ongoing development and maintenance processes aim to increase global participation and adoption of ICNP.
