This study identified 49 nursing diagnoses in home care patients by mapping patient data to the NANDA-I Taxonomy. These findings can improve nursing care management and organizational processes for home health services.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Home Health Care
- Clinical Informatics
Background:
- Home care presents unique challenges for accurate nursing diagnosis.
- Standardized nursing terminologies are crucial for effective patient care management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify nursing diagnoses in home care patients.
- To cross-map patient data from anamnesis and clinical examination with the NANDA-I Taxonomy.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive exploratory, cross-sectional study was conducted with 131 home care patients.
- An instrument based on Basic Human Needs was used to extract terms indicating required nursing interventions.
- Terms were cross-mapped with diagnoses from the NANDA-I Taxonomy.
Main Results:
- 378 terms and expressions were identified.
- These terms corresponded to 49 distinct nursing diagnoses.
- Diagnoses spanned 11 of the 13 NANDA-I Taxonomy domains.
Conclusions:
- The identified nursing diagnoses provide a profile relevant to home care patients.
- Findings can enhance care management and organizational strategies for home health nurses.
