ICNP® terminology subset for patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism

Abstract

Objective

To develop and validate an International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) terminology subset for patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism.

Methods

Four-stage methodological study, namely: integrative review of the literature, in which were sought empirical evidence of nursing diagnoses and interventions related to cancer-associated venous thromboembolism in MEDLINE, PUBMED, CINAHL, LILACS, BDENF and COCHRANE databases in the period between 2001 and 2016. In the second stage of the study, was performed the cross-mapping between terms identified in the literature and terms included in the ICNP®, version 2017. The third stage was the construction of the ICNP® terminology subset containing the nursing diagnosis/outcomes and interventions statements that were distributed according to the Basic Human Needs of Wanda Horta’s conceptual framework. In the fourth stage, was performed the content validation of declarations by expert nurses.

Results

Thirty-seven nursing diagnosis and intervention statements were developed. Of these, 34 diagnoses and 35 interventions were validated. The inclusion of four nursing diagnoses as pre-coordinated concepts in the ICNP® was proposed, as follows: Unilateral peripheral edema; Chronic peripheral edema; Low Blood oxygen saturation; and Knowledge of treatment regime.

Conclusion

The instrument can be an easy-access reference for nurses by providing evidence-based care and a unified nursing language.
