to develop nursing diagnoses and outcomes for children with nutritional anomalies based on terms found in a children's clinical protocol and on the 2017 International Classification for Nursing Practice.
exploratory-descriptive study, conducted with the validation of diagnoses/outcomes by six nurses of the children's clinic of the Federal District's teaching hospital. It was based on the cross-mapping between the terms of International Classification for Nursing Practice 2017 and the terms of a children's health care protocol. The list of nursing diagnosis/outcomes was developed, then submitted to the validation process using a Likert-type scale and considering statements with content validity index > 0.79 to be validated.
a total of 51 diagnoses/outcomes were generated, and of those, 11 were contained in International Classification for Nursing Practice. Those that were not in it were evaluated for similarity and comprehensiveness in relation to International Classification for Nursing Practice. Thirty nursing diagnoses/outcomes were validated with CVI > 0.79 among the nurses in the validation process.
this study will allow the formation of a terminological International Classification for Nursing Practice subset aimed at children's nutrition.
