Purpose:
To develop a preliminary clinical validation the NANDA-I nursing diagnosis "Grieving" in cases of perinatal loss.
Methods:
Descriptive cross-sectional study using the Fehring model.
Findings:
The overall clinical validity index for the diagnosis was 0.15. Only four defining characteristics and five manifestations identified in the literature were validated.
Conclusions:
The variability of manifestations identified in the study participants is considered to be detrimental to the overall clinical validity index.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
The clinical validity of the diagnosis could not be substantiated by the preliminary results of this study and, therefore, additional research is necessary to determine the ability of the diagnosis to adapt to perinatal loss situations in real contexts. Some manifestations have been proposed to NANDA-I for inclusion as defining characteristics in the nursing diagnosis of grieving.
