Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I01:26

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

3.6K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.
There are thirteen domains...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

3.6K
Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)01:27

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

1.1K
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

1.7K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder01:29

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

787
The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

8.6K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Science
    • Healthcare Knowledge Management

    Background:

    • Nursing diagnoses are fundamental to professional nursing practice and societal accountability.
    • Current nursing diagnostic concepts often lack a strong theoretical basis, hindering their utility.
    • Valid and reliable diagnostic categories are essential for clinical decision-making and care planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the necessity of developing a robust theoretical foundation for nursing diagnostic categories.
    • To propose a structured, cyclical model for the development and refinement of nursing diagnoses.
    • To establish criteria for useful nursing diagnostic categories.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of nursing diagnoses as summaries of underlying conceptual models.
    • Outline of a three-phase developmental cycle: identification, analysis-model development, and construction/reconstruction.
    • Identification of key components for a useful diagnostic category: name, definition, and defining characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Many existing nursing diagnostic concepts are pretheoretical with limited knowledge bases.
    • A developmental cycle is proposed to guide the creation of theoretically sound diagnoses.
    • Useful diagnostic categories should encapsulate conceptual understanding and knowledge development.

    Conclusions:

    • Strengthening the theoretical basis of nursing diagnoses is vital for advancing the science of nursing.
    • The proposed developmental cycle provides a framework for improving the quality and utility of nursing diagnoses.
    • Well-defined nursing diagnostic categories enhance clinical judgment and facilitate effective care planning.
