Abstract:
Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) is an effort to describe nursing activities by using a standardized nomenclature of nursing treatments (McCloskey & Bulechek, 1992). Limited research focused on community nursing activities has been included in the Iowa Intervention Project to date. The purpose of this study was to investigate how nursing activities performed by RN baccalaureate students in the public school setting conformed to the activities and interventions classifications proposed by the Iowa Intervention Project. Nursing activities were documented by 40 RNs for 1,774 clients in the schools. Those activities conformed to 25 of the 336 NICs. Findings further demonstrated that pain management was the most frequently used NIC, and patterns of clustering of classifications were also common. Although NIC can be used, the fit is not always strong. Specific recommendations are addressed for strengthening NIC use in the public schools.
