Competence in Spiritual and Emotional Care: Learning Outcomes for the Evaluation of Nursing Students.

Spiritual and emotional care is an important part of the person, especially in situations such as changes in health or a community coping with a pandemic. However, nurses report scarce university training in this area of care. The aim of the study is to define a catalogue of learning outcomes for spiritual and emotional care for undergraduate nurses. The design used a mixed method for the development and validation of learning outcomes. The first phase designs the catalogue of learning outcomes through a coordinating group and uses a bibliographic search and nursing legislation. The second phase validates the proposal through a group of experts, with a questionnaire using the modified Delphi technique in two rounds. The initial proposal was 75 learning outcomes, of which 17 were eliminated, 36 changed their wording and the experts proposed 7 new ones. The experts validated 65 learning outcomes: 14 for Assessment and diagnosis; 5 for Planning; 17 for Intervention; 4 for Evaluation and quality; 8 for Communication and interpersonal relationship and 17 for Knowledge and intrapersonal development. In conclusion, the academic curriculum can include these learning outcomes to help undergraduate nurses in the process of acquiring knowledge, skills and attitudes in spiritual and emotional care.

Diagnostics of care about environment: A systematic review through nursing taxonomies.

AIM: To analyse the representation of the environment in nursing diagnostic taxonomies. DESIGN: Systematic scoping review through nursing taxonomies. METHODS: The first phase identified nursing diagnostic taxonomies by systematic review. The diagnoses were associated with the environment by analysis of terms into the diagnosis label and definition. Data analysis was quantitative with frequency measurements. The second phase mapped the identified diagnoses to establish equivalences using analysis by terms in the diagnostic labels. Finally, the findings obtained in the first phase were compared with the OMAHA System. RESULTS: The bibliographic search identified 112 studies and 16 standardized languages for diagnoses. NANDA-I and ICNP were the most frequent taxonomies; ATIC, the most recent; and OMAHA, the oldest. 2,062 diagnoses from four diagnostic taxonomies were analysed, and 361 associations corresponding to 352 environmental diagnoses were identified. All taxonomies included the environment but with different weight relative to the interpersonal and geopolitical category.

Validation of a manual of care plans for people hospitalized with COVID-19.

AIM: Validate a manual of care plans for people hospitalized for coronavirus disease, COVID-19. DESIGN: Validation study with a mixed-method design. METHODS: Design and validation of a care plans manual for people hospitalized by COVID-19. Care plans used standardized languages: NANDA-I, Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) and Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC). The design included external and internal validation with quantitative and qualitative analysis. Data collection was between March and June 2020. The study methods were compliant with the Good Reporting of a Mixed Methods Study (GRAMMS) checklist. RESULTS: The manual integrated 24 NANDA-I diagnoses, 34 NOC and 47 NIC different criteria. It was validated by experts of Scientific-Technical Commission, who recommended linking the diagnoses to an assessment. The internal validation validated 17 of 24 diagnoses, 56 of 65 NOC and 86 of the 104 NIC. During the discussion group, 6 new diagnoses proposed were validated and the non-validated diagnoses were linked to the baseline condition of the person.
