Purpose:
To examine the completeness and validity of the terms used in ENP in describing nursing diagnoses using a cross-mapping to ICNP.
Methods:
The mapping procedure was carried out using the parallel mapping method.
Results:
The interrater reliability showed good to very good results. The percentage of agreement of the rating results for the ICNP phenomenon axes was between 73% and 99%, and the randomly adjusted Cohen's Kappa value was 0.88 on the ICNP focus axis.
Discussion:
The results of the mapping show that both classifications, ENP and INCP, are not yet complete for illustrating all aspects of nursing. Both classifications use a large proportion of overlapping terms (75%), and a small proportion of terms (25%) which describe different dimensions of nursing in both ENP and ICNP.
Conclusion:
The results of the mapping are discussed in consideration of the nurse's perspective. The main focus is on the difference between pre-combined systems, like ENP, and post-combined, like ICNP, and their implications on the use of nursing classifications in practice for the illustration of the nursing process.
