ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the feasibility of applying Omaha system theory to patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) through comparative analysis of nursing description.@*Methods@#Using content extraction analysis method, the nursing records, nursing plans and nursing measures of discharged patients with CHD were retrieved from the medical records, and then the conceptual consistency of the extracted records and the problem classification system and intervention measures in the Omaha system were evaluated by cross mapping method.@*Results@#A total of 2 609 nursing problems and intervention measures were extracted from the medical records of 68 patients with CHD. Among them, 1 844 (70.68%) records were labeled as "perfect fit", 608 records (23.30%) as "partial fit", and 157 (6.02%) recordsas "not fit at all". The total fit rate was 93.98% (perfect fit and partial fit). The most frequently reported problems were in physiological domain, followed by health-related behaviors domain, psychosocial domain and environmental domain. The nursing interventions extracted accounted for 26.67% (1 968 sentences) of directions and l00.00% (4 kinds) of categories in the intervention scheme of Omaha system.@*Conclusions@#The conceptual congruence between the medical records of patients with CHD and the Omaha System is quite high. It can help to improve nursing problems of patients of CHD in health-related behavioral domain, psychosocial domain and environmental domain, and can be applied to such patients after appropriate adjustment, so as to help clinical nursing staff to provide specialized and all-round guidance for patients with CHD.

Among them, 1 844 (70.68%) records were labeled as "perfect fit", 608 records (23.30% ) as "partial fit", and 157 (6.02% ) recordsas"not fit at all". The total fit rate was 93.98% (perfect fit and partial fit). The most frequently reported problems were in physiological domain, followed by health-related behaviors domain, psychosocial domain and environmental domain.
