Nursing diagnoses and interventions in patients with Parkinson’s Disease: cross mapping study

Abstract

Aim: To build a validated affirmative databank incorporating the language used by the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP®) with regard to nursing diagnoses and interventions for the rehabilitation of patients with Parkinson’s disease. Method: This is a cross mapping study that is descriptive and documental. The sample is composed of nursing procedures described in the medical records of 351 patients with Parkinson’s disease, who participated in a rehabilitation program from May 2009 to May 2014, in a rehabilitation center located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The validation of the affirmatives will occur as a result of the analysis of nurses who specialize in the area of rehabilitation. Expected Results: It is expected that the affirmatives of nursing diagnoses and interventions that are not standardized will be compared with the ICNP® language (version 4.0) within the context of the rehabilitation of patients with Parkinson’s disease.
