The purpose of this study was to develop and test the validity of standardized Korean nomenclature based on Nursing Intervention Classifications (NIC), developed by McCloskey and Bulechek at the University of Iowa.
The four phases of the study were
1. Two professors and 15 graduate students, who were taking a nursing intervention course, translated the 433 nursing interventions of NIC into Korean -,
2. 12 nurses with various clinical backgrounds reviewed the nomenclature, taking into consideration the definition and activities for each Korean nursing intervention. The Delphi method was used to determine the best appropriate nomenclature for each intervention ;
3. 20 academic and clinical experts in nursing were given a questionnaire to rate the validity of each Korean nomenclature using a 5 point Likert scale ranging from very inappropriate to very appropriate ;
4. five members of the Korean Nurses Association Research Committee reviewed the survey results and determined the most appropriate Korean nomenclature for each nursing intervention of NIC system.
Most nomenclature had a score of more than 4.0, but seven nursing interventions had a score lower than 4.0 : Critical Path Development (2.71), Calming Technique (3.41), Grief Work Facilitation (3.44), Order Transcription (3.44), Self Modification Assistance (3.44), and Teaching : Psycho-motor Skills (3.47). These research results will be included in the nursing vocabulary dictionary to be published by Korean Nurses Association.
