Purpose: This study was done to identify the Domains, Classes, labels and nursing activities of nursing interventions used with 117 patients who were admitted to orthopedic nursing units.
Method: Data were collected in January and February, 2004 using a computerized nursing process program that contained nursing diagnosis-outcome-intervention (NNN) linkages. The program was developed by the researcher. Frequencies and percentages were used in the analysis.
Results: Sixty-five nursing intervention labels were identified. The Domains of the nursing interventions showed higher percentages for ’physiological: basic’ (75.9%), ’physiological: complex’ (12.9%), ’behavioral’ (7.8%) ’family’ (1.3%), and ’safety’ (1.1%). The Classes of nursing interventions showed higher percentages for ’activity and exercise management’ (30.8%), ’physical comfort promotion’ (19.3%), ’immobility management’ (14.5%), ’drug management’ (8.1%), and ’coping assistance’ (5.6%). Nursing intervention labels showed higher percentages for ’pain management’ (14.7%), ’body mechanics promotion’ (8.0%), ’exercise therapy : ambulation’ (7.2%), ’splinting’ (5.4%), and ’positioning’ (5.1%). In the comparison of numbers between performed nursing activities and nursing activities of NIC according to nursing intervention label, the mean of combined rate was 52.3%.
Conclusion: These findings will help in building of a standardized language for orthopedic nursing units and enhance the quality of nursing care.
