Summary
This study linked United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to standardized nursing interventions (NIC) for nursing students. Students successfully translated global health goals into practical nursing actions, enhancing their understanding of sustainable development.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Global Health
- Sustainable Development
Background:
- The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are often perceived as abstract by students.
- Nursing education needs strategies to connect global health initiatives with clinical practice.
- Standardized nursing terminologies can provide a framework for understanding complex global challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore an educational strategy linking SDGs to the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC).
- To enhance nursing students' understanding of global health and their professional agency.
- To operationalize sustainable development within nursing practice using standardized language.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional descriptive study involving 164 undergraduate nursing students in Spain.
- Students were assigned SDGs and linked them to relevant NIC interventions and activities.
- Thematic analysis of student submissions was conducted using Atlas.ti.
Main Results:
- All 17 SDGs were addressed, with 68 NIC interventions identified.
- Four dominant themes emerged: community/environmental health, health promotion, vulnerable population advocacy, and systems thinking.
- Academic progression showed a shift from individual to system-level interventions.
Conclusions:
- Students effectively translated global goals into context-specific nursing actions using standardized NIC language.
- Integrating NIC with SDGs provided a structured way to conceptualize nursing's role in sustainable development.
- This approach reinforces the value of standardized nursing language for evidence-based, global health action.

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
3.3K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

01:26Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I
3.9K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.

Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.

Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
