Hypothesis
To construct and validate a terminological subset of the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP®) for people with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis.
Conclusion
A subset with a predominance of statements related to psychobiological needs was constructed and validated, marking the first such effort for patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Supporting Evidence
- 82 nursing diagnoses, 130 outcomes, and 556 interventions were constructed and validated.
- 74.5% of diagnoses were classified under psychobiological needs.
- 98.8% of nursing diagnoses were validated by experts.
Takeaway
This study created a special list of nursing terms to help nurses care for people with kidney problems who need dialysis, making it easier for them to understand and communicate.
Methodology
Methodological study involving the construction and validation of nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions through expert focus groups and content validity index.
Potential Biases
Potential bias in expert selection and evaluation process.
Limitations
Clinical validation was not performed, which is important for integrating academic knowledge with clinical practice.
Participant Demographics
Experts included nurses with nephrology specialization or over 5 years of experience in hemodialysis.
