School nurses found most Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) interventions useful for practice. This study validated NIC usefulness and identified interventions for school nurse software optimization.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Informatics
  • Public Health Nursing
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Standardized nursing language is crucial for developing effective computer software for specialized nursing roles.
  • The Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) provides a comprehensive list of nursing interventions.
  • Validation of NIC for specific nursing populations, like school nurses, is necessary for accurate software design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the utility of the 433 interventions within the Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) for school nursing practice.
  • To identify NIC interventions that could potentially be excluded from specialized computer software tailored for school nurses.

Main Methods:

  • A national sample of 102 school nurses was recruited via a school nursing listserv (SCHLRN-L) and snowball sampling.

  • A survey was distributed and collected via email to assess the usage of NIC interventions.
  • Data analysis focused on the percentage of nurses using each intervention.

    • Main Results:

    • A majority of NIC interventions (56%) were utilized by over 50% of the participating school nurses.
    • Specifically, 53 direct care interventions were found to be used by more than 80% of the sample.
    • Fifty interventions were not universally used by all participants, indicating potential areas for omission in software.

    Conclusions:

    • The majority of Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) interventions are relevant and useful for school nursing practice.
    • The findings support the refinement of NIC for school nursing computer software by identifying less frequently used interventions.
    • Email proved to be an effective method for national recruitment and data collection in this study.
