Purpose: This study describes the design, integration, and semantic interoperability process of a minimum data set using standardized nursing language in the caring module of the TEC-MED care platform.

Methods: The caring module was developed in three phases (2020-2022): platform concept, functional design and construction, and testing and evaluation. Phases involved collaboration among academics, information technology developers, and social/healthcare professionals. Nursing taxonomies (NANDA-I, NOC, NIC) were integrated to support the nursing process. The platform was piloted in six Mediterranean countries.

Findings: The final platform features an assessment module with eight dimensions for data collection on older adults and their caregivers. A clinical decision support system links assessment data with nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions. The platform is available in six languages (English, Spanish, French, Italian, Greek, and Arabic). Usability testing identified the need for improved Arabic language support.

Conclusions: The TEC-MED platform is a pioneering tool using standardized nursing language to improve care for older adults in the Mediterranean. The platform's multilingualism promotes accessibility. Limitations include offline use and mobile app functionality. Pilot testing is underway to evaluate effectiveness and facilitate cross-cultural validation of nursing taxonomies.

Implications for nursing practice: The TEC-MED platform offers standardized nursing care for older adults across the Mediterranean, promoting consistent communication and evidence-based practice. This approach has the potential to improve care quality and accessibility for a vulnerable population.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to refine and validate the NANDA-I nursing diagnosis risk for perioperative hypothermia (RPH) (00254).

Methods: A quantitative, descriptive study was carried out according to the adapted diagnostic content validation model by Fehring. Data from a previously conducted literature study were triangulated with expert validation data to examine the nursing diagnosis RPH as well as potentially suggested new factors resulted from the literature review. In addition, the Wisdom of Crowds model was also considered. A nonprobability sampling technique, including purposive and snowball sampling methods, was used to recruit a panel of nurse experts. An anonymous and standardized questionnaire was developed in three languages for data collection. For validation, descriptive statistics, weighted ratios, and a one-sample T-test were used.

Results: Ninety-two nurse experts from seven countries and three continents participated in this study. Fifty-eight nurse experts (63%) were female, and 33 (36%) were male, with a mean age of 42.26 years and 19.22 years of working experience. The diagnosis label, definition, 4 out of 5 risk factors (RF), 6 out of 14 at-risk populations (ARPs), and 5 out of 9 associated conditions (ACs) were classified as major. One RF, eight ARP, and four ACs were considered minor. In addition, the experts validated 1 RF, 5 ARP, and 12 ACs from a previous literature study at least minor.

Conclusions: The nursing diagnosis RPH (00254) could be confirmed by specialized experts. No RF, ARP, or AC of the current nursing diagnosis needed to be rejected, and the added diagnostic indicators increased the robustness of the diagnosis.

Implications for nursing practice: A precise concept of the nursing diagnosis RPH improves nurses' clinical reasoning and strengthens an individualized, evidence-based care plan.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine knowledge, attitude, and barriers toward care planning documentation practices with standardized nursing languages (SNLs) of nurses and nursing students at a midwestern healthcare system, comparing student and nurse responses.

Methods: Cross-sectional surveys were given over a 2-month period with nurses and nursing students at different sites in a midwestern healthcare system, using convenience sampling. The Knowledge, Attitude, and Barriers to Using Standardized Nursing Languages and Current Practices Survey was adapted for use and re-tested for validity/reliability (Content Validity Index 0.81-1.00; Cronbach alpha = 0.82-0.99) with 28 Likert scale items measuring knowledge, attitude, and barriers. Descriptive statistics, composite scores, correlations, t-tests, and multiple regression were used to analyze the concepts of the tool.

Findings: 134/400 RNs responded (34%); 109/116 students responded (93.9%). Data analyses indicate adequate to superior levels of knowledge related to SNLs and NANDA International, Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), collectively referred to as NNN (NANDA, NIC, & NOC), positive attitudes toward SNLs/NNN and for adopting SNLs/NNN into documentation practices, but moderate to great barriers for implementation in practice. Barriers included lack of financial resources for change, lack of mentors, and lack of mandates to use SNLs. Students scored significantly higher than nurses in attitude only.

Conclusions: Perceptions of nurses and student nurses for current documentation indicate awareness of inadequacy in existing systems and willingness to change existing systems for standardized languages, with perceived barriers to change/implementation of SNLs. Students were more positive about SNLs than nurses.

Implications for nursing practice: Major implications for nursing are to reevaluate electronic documentation systems and determine how to insert and easily apply SNLs in these systems, such that nursing care documentation is standardized, interoperable, effective, time-saving, and attainable.

Objective: To map nursing diagnoses related to cardiovascular function reported in studies involving patients in primary care.

Method: A scoping review follows JBI guidelines. Literature searches were conducted from March to May 2024. Studies included focused on nursing diagnoses for adults and older adult patients with cardiovascular conditions in primary care settings. Results were systematically presented in tables and narratively.

Findings: Among the 12 included studies, the most prevalent diagnosis was "noncompliance" (00079), removed from NANDA-I in 2017. Sixteen other diagnoses were identified, indicating a broader clinical profile of individuals with cardiovascular health issues in primary care. Most studies involved patients with hypertension in Brazil.

Conclusions: Key nursing diagnoses for patients with cardiovascular conditions in primary care were identified. Ineffective health management emerged as a common characteristic among this population.

Implications for nursing practice: Identifying prevalent diagnoses allows nurses to reinforce their commitment to managing cardiovascular conditions, improve care plans, and generate practice indicators for services, thus enhancing the quality of care provided.

Introduction: The postpartum period is considered a phase of many physiological and hormonal changes that affect the individual. Fatigue is something present and can influence the postpartum woman in a negative way. In this way, the nurse has an essential role, and the nursing process can be used to establish an efficient care plan.

Objective: To present the main nursing interventions and activities of the nursing diagnosis (ND) fatigue (00093) in individuals/people in the immediate postpartum period obtained through an integrative literature review and correlate with the proposed ND puerperal fatigue/excessive burden of fatigue in the postpartum period.

Methods: Integrative literature review, carried out in the databases Cochrane, Scopus and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Web of Science (WoS), Virtual Health Library (VHL), and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), following rigorous methodological standards.

Results: Six articles were included that identified the main nursing interventions related to the proposed ND puerperal fatigue.

Conclusions: The integrative review highlighted the main nursing interventions and activities, and this study will be the basis for the next stages of the validation process for the ND puerperal fatigue/excessive fatigue in the postpartum period.

Implications for nursing practice: This work can help nurses in clinical practice establish an efficient care plan through the most accurate nursing interventions and thus improve the quality of nursing services.

Purpose: This study has two objectives: (1) to identify the indicators of the nursing outcome "Knowledge: Wound management (3209)" related to the evaluation of knowledge about the care of surgical wounds; (2) to translate and culturally adapt the nursing outcome "Knowledge: Wound management (3209)" into Brazilian Portuguese and Colombian Spanish.

Methods: This is a methodological study with two steps. Initially, a scoping review was conducted based on the methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute. Subsequently, the translation and cultural adaptation of the outcome were performed by adapting Beaton's recommendations, which included the label, definition, indicators, and measurement scale.

Findings: The review identified 31 indicators to evaluate knowledge about surgical wound care. Of these, 16 are described in the original outcome, and 15 new indicators are proposed to be included in the classification. Following this, the label, definition, indicators, and outcome measurement scale were reviewed, translated, and adapted with appropriate terminology for the cultural contexts of Brazil and Colombia.

Conclusion: The outcome "Knowledge: Wound management (3209)" for evaluating the knowledge of surgical wounds consists of 31 indicators, all supported by scientific literature. The translated and adapted versions into Brazilian Portuguese and Colombian Spanish were found to be equivalent to the original. It is inferred that the identified indicators and the translated versions of the outcome will provide nursing professionals with an accurate assessment of knowledge about surgical incision wound care in daily practice.

Implications for nursing practice: This study reviews the scientific literature on the outcome "Knowledge: Wound management (3209)," facilitating the comprehensive measurement of specific knowledge about the care of surgical wounds in practice, education, or research. Additionally, it makes available the translated and adapted versions of the outcome in Brazilian Portuguese and Colombian Spanish.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis (ND) of "spiritual distress (00066)" and the sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio, and predictive value in parents of children with chronic diseases.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using the clinical diagnostic validity method proposed by Fehring. The data were collected through structured interviews and using a researcher-made list that included 5 parts of demographic information, parents' opinions about spiritual distress, the researcher's diagnosis, 74 defining characteristics (DCs) of the ND of spiritual distress, and the Spiritual Well-being Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio, and predictive value.

Findings: The prevalence of diagnosis was 70% in a sample of 120 parents. Out of the 74 DCs, 39 criteria were validated. Questioning meaning of illness and suffering had the highest sensitivity (98.8%), the highest negative predictive value (88.88%), and the lowest negative likelihood ratio (0.05%). Expressing the lack of meaning in life demonstrated the highest specificity (97.22%), the highest positive predictive value (98.33%), and the highest positive likelihood ratio (25.26%).

Conclusions: Parents who search for meaning of illness and suffering related to a lack of meaning in life are in spiritual distress. The ND was validated.

Implications for nursing practice: These findings can empower clinical nurses to confidently assess and identify patients experiencing spiritual distress, bridging the gaps caused by the absence of standardized tools for assessing spiritual distress in the inpatient setting.

Objective: To create and evaluate the content validity of educational videos on self-management of fluid restriction and thirst for individuals with heart failure (HF).

Method: A psychometric study was conducted in three stages: (1) an integrative literature review to identify strategies for self-management of fluid restriction and thirst by individuals with HF; (2) creation of animated videos about strategies for self-management of fluid restriction and thirst; and (3) analysis of the content validity of the educational videos by 11 experts. For each criterion, the content validity ratio (CVR) was calculated; it was considered adequate when <0.636. Suggestions were evaluated by the researchers, and the videos were modified.

Results: Ten scripts and videos were created, averaging 30 s each. The videos' contents were based on 11 studies retrieved from the review and one specialized website. The videos were evaluated by experts, and adjustments were made when CVR < 0.636 and when allowed by the video production platform.

Conclusions: Educational videos were developed and have satisfactory content validity evidence according to expert opinions.

Implications for nursing practice: These videos are expected to be used as educational strategies in clinical practice to prevent episodes of decompensation due to excessive fluid volume.

Aims: To characterize the thematic foci, structure, and evolution of nursing research on clinical reasoning and judgment.

Design: Bibliometric analysis.

Methods: We used a bibliometric method to analyze 1528 articles.

Data source: We searched the Scopus bibliographic database on January 7, 2024.

Results: Through a keyword co-occurrence analysis, we found the most frequent keywords to be clinical judgment, clinical reasoning, nursing education, simulation, nursing, clinical decision-making, nursing students, nursing assessment, critical thinking, nursing diagnosis, patient safety, nurses, nursing process, clinical competence, and risk assessment. The focal themes, structure, and evolution of nursing research on clinical reasoning and judgment were revealed by keyword mapping, clustering, and time-tracking.

Conclusion: By assessing key nursing research areas, we extend the current discourse on clinical reasoning and clinical judgment for researchers, educators, and practitioners. Critical challenges must still be met by nursing professionals with regard to their use of clinical reasoning and judgment within their clinical practice. Further knowledge and comprehension of the clinical reasoning process and the development of clinical judgment must be successfully translated from research to nursing education and practice.

Implications for the profession: This study highlights the nursing knowledge gaps with regard to nurses' use of clinical reasoning and judgment and encourages nursing educators and professionals to focus on developing nurses' clinical reasoning and judgment with regard to their patients' safety.

Impact: In addressing nurses' use of clinical reasoning and judgment, and with regard to patient safety in particular, this study found that, in certain clinical settings, the use of clinical reasoning and judgment remains a challenge for nursing professionals. This study should thus have an effect on nursing academics' research choices, on nursing educators' teaching practices, and on nurses' clinical practices.

Reporting method: Relevant EQUATOR guidelines have been adhered to by employing recognized bibliometric reporting methods.
