Objectives:
to map and validate standardized nursing terminology linkages applied to adult clinical-surgical hospital emergency care.
Methods:
this methodological study was conducted in an adult clinical-surgical hospital emergency care unit in Goiânia, Goiás, from July 2022 to January 2023. The study was divided into three stages: collection of signs and symptoms from patient records; cross-mapping by researchers and nurses working in emergency care; and content validity by experts.
Results:
twenty-nine terminology linkages were validated, including 16 problem-focused nursing diagnoses, 12 risk diagnoses, and one syndrome diagnosis, as well as 26 nursing outcomes, 96 interventions, and 281 activities. The average agreement was 0.87 across the six Functional Health Standards.
Conclusions:
the validated linkages promote the standardization of nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions, increasing the accuracy and efficiency of the nursing process in emergency rooms.
