Objective:
To analyze the standardized nursing languages in orthopedics from the perspective of the Nursing Role Effectiveness Model.
Method:
Mixed method research carried out in a hospital in southern Brazil between April 2016 and February 2017. Quantitative data were collected from 85 orthopedic patients using the NANDA-International, Nursing Interventions and Outcomes, and submitted to statistical analysis. Qualitative data were collected through interviews with 10 nurses and were analyzed using content analysis.
Results:
Acute pain (96%) was a prevalent nursing diagnosis. Fall Prevention (33.3%) was the most prescribed intervention. Pain Level, Body Positioning: self-initiated and Mobility showed an increase in outcome scores (p<0.001). In the interviews, nurses indicated that priority diagnoses and nursing interventions contributed to improving mobility outcomes.
Conclusion:
