Abstract

CUBAS, Marcia Regina et al. Mapping and definition of terms used by nurses in a hospital specialized in emergency and trauma care. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2017, vol.serIV, n.12, pp.45-54. ISSN 0874-0283.  https://doi.org/10.12707/RIV16067.

Background: Cross-mapping is a technique used in studies by the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®). The definition of new terms must apply principles of terminological definition. Objectives: To map terms used by nurses in patient records according to ICNP®, and to define 15 terms which are not listed in the classification. Methodology: Cross-mapping using the 2011 and 2013 versions of ICNP®. Terms were defined in accordance with the principles of terminological definition and assessed by 5 specialists by means of the Content Validity Index. Results: Of the 2,638 terms identified, 2,349 were not listed in ICNP® 2011. Of these, 1,431 are identical, similar, or included in the definition of another term of ICNP® 2013. Of the 63 new terms, 15 were defined. Thirteen definitions were validated, and 2 were rewritten. Conclusion: The use of similar terms shows that nurses have little contact with classification languages. The principle of simplicity can prevent the validation of definitions.

Keywords : nursing records; terminology; classification; concept formation.
