Purpose:
To select outcomes from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) to evaluate impaired tissue integrity in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries, and develop conceptual and operational definitions for their indicators.
Methods:
A consensus study involving 10 nurses from clinical practice. A 100% consensus was established in the outcomes selection.
Findings:
Wound Healing: Primary intention (1102) with two indicators: (110214) Scar formation, and (110201) Skin approximation were selected. Four indicators were grouped to evaluate inflammatory signs together with foul wound odor and six for drainage.
Conclusions:
These indicators direct the outcomes evaluation for wound healing.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Support to the definition the priority interventions in nursing process documentation.
