Open-access ICNP® terminological subgroup for palliative care patients with malignant tumor wounds

Abstract

Objective  To develop and validate a terminological subgroup using the International Classification for Nursing Practice for palliative care patients with malignant tumor wounds.

Methods  A methodological study with an integrative literature review that searched empirical evidence related to malignant tumor wounds and nursing interventions for the management of symptoms in MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS and COCHRANE, time frame from 2002 to 2015. After crossing the evidence with 2013 ICNP® terms based on the Model 7 Axis, statements were prepared as diagnoses and nursing interventions, distributed according to basic human needs of the conceptual framework of Wanda Horta, and evaluated by experts.

Results  From 51 affirmative diagnoses and 134 nursing interventions, 84.31%, and 91.04% were validated, respectively, establishing the subgroup.

Conclusion  The instrument may constitute an easy access reference for nurses, providing wound care based on evidence and a unified nursing language.
