The Pilot Evaluation of Using the International Classification for Nursing Practice
1School of Nursing, National Yang Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan.
The International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) largely supports electronic nursing data exchange in Taiwan. Developing a localized Taiwan-ICNP® terminology is recommended for future healthcare data exchange.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Informatics
- Health Data Standards
Background:
- The International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) was established by the International Council of Nursing (ICN) in 1999.
- Standardized nursing terminologies are crucial for effective electronic health record systems and data exchange.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the applicability of the ICNP® for standardizing electronic nursing data exchange in Taiwan.
- To assess the cross-mapping accuracy of clinical nursing problems to the ICNP® version 2 in traditional Chinese.
Main Methods:
- Cross-mapping of clinical nursing problems to the DC axis of ICNP® version 2.
- Analysis of mapping completeness and agreement using Kappa statistics.
Main Results:
- 87% of clinical nursing problems could be successfully cross-mapped to the ICNP® version 2 in traditional Chinese (Kappa = .96).
- Five specific nursing problems (following care problem, blood transfusion, potential risk for unstable blood sugar level, hyperbilirubinemia, caregiver anxiety) could not be matched.
- The ICNP® demonstrated substantial support for electronic nursing data exchange standardization.
Conclusions:
- The ICNP® is largely applicable for standardizing electronic nursing data exchange in Taiwan.
- Developing a localized Taiwan-ICNP® terminology is a viable strategy to enhance adoption and facilitate future healthcare data exchange across Taiwan.
