Abstract

|
Purpose: This study was to identify essential nursing diagnoses and their related or risk factors and defining characteristics of neonates who were cared in a NICU using the NANDA.
Methods: The research checklist developed by the researcher consists of 50 nursing diagnoses with the defining characteristics and related or risk factors and was applied by the researcher to 153 patients who were admitted to a NICU from May 10th, 2011 to August 31st, 2011.
Results: Thirty-three in fifty nursing diagnoses were identified. The most frequent nursing diagnoses were Risk for falls, Risk for aspiration, Risk for infection, Ineffective infant feeding pattern, Neonatal jaundice and Ineffective breathing pattern. In terms of the defining characteristics of nursing diagnoses, those of Ineffective infant feeding pattern were ‘Inability to sustain an effective suck’, The agreement rate with NANDA(2009)’s defining characteristics was 100%. The risk factor of ’Risk for falls’ as potential nursing diagnosis was ’under 2year of age’, and the agreement rate with NANDA(2009) was 1.9%.
Conclusions: Identifying the essential nursing diagnoses and their defining characteristics and related/risk factors that can be used for neonate’s nursing care will facilitate the use of NANDA taxonomy in the NICU nursing practice and documentation systems.
