Abstract
Objective
To develop a nursing intervention using bladder ultrasound according to the Nursing Interventions Classification.
Methods
This is a methodological study in two steps: integrative literature review and intervention development. For the integrative literature review step, four databases were investigated (PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS and Scopus), including free access studies available in full, in English, Portuguese and Spanish, without time limits. In the intervention development step, the Guidelines for Submission of a New or Revised Nursing Interventions Classification Intervention were followed.
Results
In the integrative literature review, 328 primary studies were found in the databases, 17 of which were included in the final analysis. Studies with a descriptive design stood out, with level of evidence VI being prevalent. The findings made it possible to develop each component of the nursing intervention (title, definition, 17 activities, level of training and estimated time for completion).
Conclusion
The nursing intervention entitled “Ultrasound: bladder” was developed, submitted the Nursing Interventions Classification Editorial Committee and accepted for publication in the 8th edition of the Classification.
