Standardized nursing languages in orthopedics from the perspective of the nursing role effectiveness model

OBJECTIVE

To analyze the standardized nursing languages in orthopedics from the perspective of the Nursing Role Effectiveness Model.

METHOD

Mixed method research carried out in a hospital in southern Brazil between April 2016 and February 2017. Quantitative data were collected from 85 orthopedic patients using the NANDA-International, Nursing Interventions and Outcomes, and submitted to statistical analysis. Qualitative data were collected through interviews with 10 nurses and were analyzed using content analysis.

RESULTS

Acute pain (96%) was a prevalent nursing diagnosis. Fall Prevention (33.3%) was the most prescribed intervention. Pain Level, Body Positioning: self-initiated and Mobility showed an increase in outcome scores (p<0.001). In the interviews, nurses indicated that priority diagnoses and nursing interventions contributed to improving mobility outcomes.

CONCLUSION

The findings revealed that the focus of Standardized Nursing Languages in orthopedics from the perspective of the Nursing Role Effectiveness Model lies in the context of mobility, but it needs improvements in diagnostic accuracy and electronic health record.

Correspondence of nurses' and physiotherapists' records for orthopedic patients with the Nursing Outcomes Classification

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the correspondence of the terms found in nurses' and physiotherapists' records for orthopedic patients with the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). Method: A descriptive study carried out in a university hospital in southern Brazil. The sample consisted of 392 records of 49 patients submitted to Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Data collection was retrospective in the electronic health record. Data was analyzed and compared with the NOC outcomes using the cross-mapping method. Result: The most prevalent outcomes were the following: Pain Level, Falls Occurrence and Mobility. There was sharing of outcomes between the two categories, except for Falls Occurrence and Respiratory Status. Conclusion: Standardizing nurses' and Physiotherapists' records according to the NOC can improve the quality of the clinical documentation of the outcomes of patients undergoing THA.
