ICNP^® terminology subset for people with tuberculosis |

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to develop an ICNP^® terminology subset to care for people with tuberculosis.

Methods:

a methodological research that followed the following steps: identification and validation of empirical indicators of altered needs relevant to people with tuberculosis based on literature; cross-mapping of the empirical indicators of altered needs identified with ICNP^® 2017 terms; construction of nursing diagnoses/outcomes and interventions; assessment of relevance of nursing diagnoses /outcomes and interventions and ICNP^® terminology subset structuring.

Results:

an ICNP^® terminology subset was developed to care for people with tuberculosis with 51 diagnoses/outcomes and 264 nursing interventions, assessed by nurses from Primary Health Care and structured according to Wanda Horta’s Theory of Basic Human Needs.

Final Considerations:

the subset is a technological instrument through which it is possible to identify the elements of nursing practice from the affected human needs.
