Objective:
To analyze the human response of delayed surgical recovery, approved by NANDA-I, and to validate its defining characteristics (DCs) and related factors (RFs).
Method:
This was a two-part study using a concept analysis based on the method of Walker and Avant, and diagnostic content validation based on Fehring's model.
Results:
Three of the original DCs, and three proposed DCs identified from the concept analysis, were validated in this study; five of the original RFs and four proposed RFs were validated.
Conclusions:
A revision of the concept studied is suggested, incorporating the validation of some of the DCs and RFs presented by NANDA-I, and the insertion of new, validated DCs and RFs.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
This study may enable the extension of the use of this diagnosis and contribute to quality surgical care of clients.
