摘要:

Fatigue isa universal complaint that may or may not be related to medical diagnoses or therapeutic treatment.Fatigueis a complex, multicausal, multidimensional, nonspecific, and subjective phenomenon for which no one definition is widely accepted. The absence of theories concerning the nursing diagnosis offatiguelimits insight into the phenomenon and hinders the development of valid and reliable instruments for the measurement of fatigue. Therefores, the authors have undertaken a concept analysis offatigue,to a) document how it is defined in the literature; b) which dimensions of the concept of fatigue are distinguished; and c) which indicators of both the content and forms of fatigue represent the concept in practice. This concept analysis has resulted in a theoretical frame of reference that can indicate directions not only for further research into the nursing diagnosis offatigue,but also for the development of measuring instruments.

摘要:

The investigators designed this validation study to determine the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis ineffective airway clearance. Using Fehring's Diagnostic Content Validity Model, 546 nurses who care for respiratory clients validated one major and 19 minor defining characteristics. Nine characteristics previously described in the literature were eliminated. Clarification of the defining characteristics of this diagnosis improves communication in practice, education and research.

摘要:

Cultural differences among nurses may influence the choice of terminology applicable to use of a nursing diagnostic statement. This study explored whether defining characteristics are consistently applied by culturally varied nurses in an English language setting. Two diagnoses, pain, and high risk for altered skin integrity, were studied within six cultures: African, Asian, Filipino, East Indian, African‐American, and Anglo‐American nurses. Overall, there was consistency between the cultural groups. Analysis of variance for the pain scale demonstrated differences among cultures on two characteristics of pain, restlessness and grimace. The only difference on the high risk for altered skin integrity scale was found on the distructor, supple s

摘要:

The purpose of this study was to describe the phenomenon ofspiritual distressin order to clarify the nursing diagnosis ofspiritual distressand to evaluate its defining characteristics. Phenomenological interview procedures were used. Ten participants were asked to describe a time in their life when they had been concerned about the meaning of life, death, and/or their beliefs (the major defining char‐acteristic of this nursing diagnosis). The data were analyzed using a hermeneutical approach. The thematic structure of this experience indicated a biphasic process through which participants moved from distress to change and growth. Implications for nursing are discussed and suggestions made for further research on spiritual distres
