Abstract:
This report describes the development of a preliminary Chinese psychiatric classification system with nine categories and 211 separate diagnoses, and the corresponding diagnostic interview that enables psychiatric nurses in China to systematically assess the presence or absence of the various diagnoses. Using this interview with 30 representative inpatients, the authors identified 152 of the 211 (72%) diagnoses. On average, each patient was given 26 different nursing diagnoses. The interrater reliability of the four nurses who independently coded the diagnostic interview for these 30 patients was excellent: in over 77% of the identified diagnoses the generalized kappa was greater than 0.75. These findings show that further work on this classification of nursing diagnoses is warranted.
