Purpose:
To analyze the content of the concepts present in the nursing diagnosis of Ineffective infant feeding pattern.
Design And Methods:
Content validation of nursing diagnosis based on the predictive diversity model. A methodological study of the content validation of a nursing diagnosis was based on the predictive diversity model and performed in the following three stages: conceptual definition of the phenomenon of interest; organization of the phenomenon of interest; and analysis by judges of the concepts of the phenomenon of interest.
Results:
The first two stages identified 13 clinical indicators and 12 etiological factors, which were evaluated by 23 judges. The analyses of judgments were performed according to the level of expertise of the judges. All the clinical indicators were relevant to nursing diagnosis under study. Nine causal factors were analyzed, including the level of importance to the occurrence of Ineffective infant feeding pattern.
Conclusions:
This study analyzed the diagnostic structure of Ineffective infant feeding pattern, which were considered representative of the phenomenon of interest after evaluation by the judges.
Practice Implications:
The use of nursing diagnosis with accurate elements facilitates clinical reasoning and favors the development of an adequate care plan.
