ICNP® terminological subset for the alcoholic person

Abstract

Objective

To develop and validate a terminological subset of the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) for alcoholics.

Methods

Descriptive study conducted in the following steps: 1) Identification of the signs and symptoms of alcoholism through analysis of medical records of people with alcohol dependence syndrome in outpatient follow-up and analysis of official documents on alcoholism; 2) Cross-mapping with terms of the Focus axis of the ICNP® 2017; 3) Construction of statements of nursing diagnoses, outcomes and interventions and operational definitions; 4) Validation of the statements of nursing diagnoses, outcomes and interventions; and 5) Organization and structuring of the ICNP® terminological subset for alcoholics according to Betty Neuman’s Theoretical Model.

Results

Twenty-eight nursing diagnoses and outcomes and 211 nursing interventions for the care of alcoholics were validated by specialist nurses and structured according to Betty Neuman’s Theoretical Model.

Conclusion

The developed ICNP® terminology subset can assist in critical thinking and decision making and provide evidence-based care and a unified nursing language.
