[Validation of nursing interventions for patients with spinal cord injury and impaired physical mobility]
Abstract:
This is a descriptive study that aimed to validate the nursing interventions proposed in the Nursing Interventions Classification for the diagnosis of Impaired physical mobility in adults with sequels of spinal cord injury, based on opinions of experts in rehabilitation about each intervention proposed. The sample consisted of 54 nurses who were asked about how they consider the interventions for the nursing diagnosis. A questionnaire was administered to nurses who work at the Sarah Network of Rehabilitation Hospitals. Among the 46 interventions studied, 17 (37%) were considered essential and should be implemented; others 15 (32.6%) were considered complementary, and 14 (30.4%) should not be used and could be discarded. Nursing interventions not described in the classification and suggested by 22 nurses (40.7%) were: Care with Orthoses: Maintenance; and Care with Orthoses: Prevention.
