ABSTRACT
Terminologia Anatomica (TA) is a unique collection of technical terms that allow communication in anatomy and medicine around the world. Considering this, we reviewed articles published by Latin American authors on Terminologia Anatomica and synthesized the main results found in this article. This study is a systematic review about Terminologia Anatomica that focuses on non-English-speaking countries in Latin America. The database used was Scopus via Elsevier. 207, and candidate articles were identified after applying the search strategy and with no restriction of year of publication. After the exclusion of articles whose authorship was not Latin American, 68 articles were filtered based on their titles and abstracts without the exclusion of any of them. These articles were fully evaluated resulting in 66 articles that met all the inclusion criteria of this review. We collected the following data: title of the article, year of publication, journal of publication, keywords of the study, country of origin, and aim of the article. Among the analyzed articles, 22 proposed changes to terms present in Terminologia Anatomica, 15 of them proposed the inclusion of terms for Terminologia Anatomica, and several articles sought to explain the existence of the existing terms. It is necessary to analyze the terms that are and their origins in the Latin America languages to evaluate their coherence and anatomical correspondence. A standard descriptor for Terminologia Anatomica was not obtained and it is a limitation since eventual articles may not have been obtained. As the study evaluates only articles that were published in journals indexed in Scopus, some articles published in non-indexed journals were not included.
ABSTRACT
SUMMARY: The updating of anatomical terms is essential to facilitate teaching and learning as well as international communication through publications and presentations at scientific events. In the posterior wall of the axilla, the teres major, teres minor and triceps brachii muscles form three spaces through which neurovascular structures of clinical significance run. The current study seeks to define and propose terms for these spaces which have been omitted by Terminologia Anatomica. The definition of the Latin term 'Spatium' was investigated using A Latin Dicionary, while the term 'Espacio' was analyzed using Diccionario panhispánico de términos médicos (Real Academia Nacional de Medicina de España, 2023), as well as the lexemes of the words 'scapula' and 'humerus', for which the Diccionario Médico-Biológico, Histórico y Etimológico de la Universidad de Salamanca was consulted. The presence of the term 'Spatium' in the Terminologia Anatomica was also investigated. Finally, 10 anatomy textbooks in Spanish were reviewed to identify the terms used for these spaces. In reviewing the latest edition of Terminologia Anatomica, it was found that the term 'Spatium' appears 25 times in different chapters and it was evident that no terms for scapulohumeral spaces appear in the chapters on upper limb structures. Moreover, in 100 % of the anatomy textbooks reviewed, at least one term is used to describe the scapulohumeral spaces. We believe that the proposed terms: 'Spatium humerotricipitale', 'Spatium scapulotricipitale' and 'Spatium teretricipitale' more accurately describe both the location and their association with the bone/muscle structures that form them. We therefore suggest that these terms be revised for inclusion in future editions of Terminologia Anatomica.
La actualización de términos anatómicos es esencial para facilitar la enseñanza-aprendizaje y comunicación internacional a través de publicaciones y presentaciones en eventos científicos. En la pared posterior de la axila, los músculos redondo mayor, redondo menor y tríceps braquial, forman tres espacios por donde discurren estructuras neurovasculares relevantes en la clínica. El estudio tuvo como objetivo definir y proponer términos para estos espacios omitidos por Terminologia Anatomica. En el diccionario A Latin Dictionary se investigó la definición en latín del término 'Spatium' y 'Espacio' en el Diccionario panhispánico de términos médicos (Real Academia Nacional de Medicina de España, 2023), además de los lexemas de las palabras 'escápula' y 'húmero' en el Diccionario Médico-Biológico, Histórico y Etimológico de la Universidad de Salamanca. También se investigó la presencia del término 'Spatium' en la Terminologia Anatomica. Por último, se revisaron 10 libros-textos de anatomía en español para identificar los términos utilizados para estos espacios y su relevancia clínica. Al revisar la última edición de Terminologia Anatomica, se observó que el término 'Spatium' aparece 25 veces en distintos capítulos y se evidenció que no aparecen términos para los espacios escapulohumerales en los capítulos de miembro superior. Además, en el 100 % de los libros-textos de anatomía revisados, se utiliza al menos un término para describir a los espacios escapulohumerales. Consideramos que los términos propuestos: 'Spatium humerotricipitale', 'Spatium scapulotricipitale' y 'Spatium teretricipitale' aluden con mayor precisión a la ubicación, ya que relaciona a las estructuras óseas y/ o musculares que lo forman. Por lo que sugerimos que estos términos sean revisados para incluirlos en futuras ediciones de Terminologia Anatomica.
ABSTRACT
Target 3 in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) calls for protecting at least 30% of the world's lands and waters in area-based conservation approaches by 2030. This ambitious 30×30 target has spurred great interest among policy makers, practitioners, and researchers in defining and measuring the effectiveness of these types of approaches. But along with this broad interest, there has also been a proliferation of terms and their accompanying abbreviations used to describe different types of conservation areas and their governance, planning, management, and monitoring. The lack of standard terms is hindering the use and assessment of area-based approaches to conserve the world's biodiversity. It is difficult to track progress toward GBF Target 3 or to share learning with other practitioners if different groups of people are using different words to describe the same concept or similar words to talk about different concepts. To address this problem, the International Union for Conservation of Nature's World Commission on Protected Areas commissioned a task force to review existing terms and recommend a standard English-language lexicon for this field based on key criteria. The results were definitions of 37 terms across 6 categories, including types of protected and additional conservation areas (e.g., protected area, additional conservation area), sets of these areas (protected area network, protected area system), their governance and management (governance, rightsholders), assessment (effectiveness, equitability), spatial planning (key biodiversity area), and action planning (value, outcome, objective). Our standard lexicon can provide a common language for people who want to use it and a shared reference point that can be used to translate various terms used by different groups. The common understanding provided by the lexicon can serve as a foundation for collaborative efforts to improve the policies, implementation, assessments, research, and learning about this important set of conservation approaches.
Un léxico estandarizado de términos para la conservación basada en áreas versión 10 Resumen El objetivo 3 del Marco Global para la Biodiversidad de KunmingMontreal (GBF) establece la protección de al menos el 30% de los suelos y aguas del planeta con estrategias de conservación basada en áreas para el 2030. Este objetivo ambicioso de 30x30 ha provocado un gran interés por definir y medir la eficiencia de este tipo de estrategias entre quienes hacen las políticas, los practicantes y los investigadores. Junto con este interés generalizado también ha habido una proliferación de términos y abreviaciones usados para describir los diferentes tipos de áreas de conservación y su gestión, planeación, manejo y monitoreo. La falta de términos estandarizados dificulta el uso y la evaluación de las estrategias basadas en áreas para conservar la biodiversidad mundial. Es difícil registrar los avances hacia el Objetivo 3 del GBF o compartir el aprendizaje con otros practicantes si diferentes grupos de personas usan diferentes palabras para describir el mismo concepto o palabras similares para hablar de conceptos distintos. Para abordar este problema, la Comisión Mundial de Áreas Protegidas de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza comisionó un grupo de trabajo para que revise los términos existentes y recomiende un léxico estandarizado en inglés para este campo con base en criterios clave. Como resultado obtuvieron la definición para 37 términos de seis categorías, incluyendo los tipos de área protegida y las áreas adicionales de conservación (p. ej.: área protegida, área adicional de conservación), los conjuntos de estas áreas (p. ej.: red de áreas protegidas, sistema de áreas protegidas), su gestión y manejo (gobernanza, derechohabientes), evaluación (efectividad, equidad), planeación espacial (área clave de biodiversidad) y plan de acción (valor, resultado, objetivo). Nuestro léxico estandarizado puede proporcionar un lenguaje común para la gente que quiera usarlo y una referencia compartida que puede usarse para traducir varios términos que usan los diferentes grupos. El conocimiento común proporcionado por el léxico puede fungir como una base para que los esfuerzos colaborativos mejoren las políticas, implementación, evaluación, investigación y aprendizaje sobre este conjunto importante de estrategias de conservación.
ABSTRACT
Histological terminology of the female genital organs is currently a part of the internationally accepted nomenclature Terminologia Histologica (TH), the latest edition of which dates back to 2008. Many new discoveries have been documented within 16 years since then, and many discrepancies have been found. This paper aims to revise the terminology from clinical and educational perspectives comprehensively. The authors thoroughly searched the current edition of "Terminologia Histologica: International Terms for Human Cytology and Histology," focusing on missing and controversial terms in the chapter Female genital system. The authors identified six controversial and ambiguous terms and four missing important histological terms. The authors also discussed the addition of less used eponymic terms in the histological description of female genital organs like Hamperl cells, Popescu cells, Kroemer lacunae, Balbiani bodies, Call-Exner bodies, membrane of Slavianski, nabothian cysts, or anogenital sweat glands of van der Putte. We expect the second and revised edition of the TH to be published soon and hope that the Federative International Program on Anatomical Terminology will approve and incorporate all these propositions and suggestions. We also strongly recommend using the official internationally accepted Latin and English histological nomenclature-the TH, either in oral or written form, both in theoretical and clinical medicine.
ABSTRACT
The development of a standard anatomical language in Spanish dates back to the early stages of medicine, and its significance lies in the necessity for a common vocabulary to describe the structures of the human body. Anatomists and morphologists have been striving to achieve this goal since the late nineteenth century when the first Anatomical Nomenclature was created in Basel in 1895. Over the years, various versions of the International Anatomical Terminology have been published in Spanish, following the guidelines of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA). These versions have been produced in partnership with the Spanish Anatomical Society and have aimed to adjust the terms to the Spanish language and linguistic rules. The Ibero-Latin American Symposia on Anatomical, Histological, and Embryological Terminology (SILAT) have embraced the naming of morphological structures, keeping in mind the Latin and Greek roots, while respecting the translations accepted by the linguistic rules of the official languages. These symposia stick to the principles of universality, precision in structure description, and consistency in terminology. Despite more than a century of progress in anatomical terminology, there is a need for frequent revisions and adjustments to anatomical terms, particularly when translating them into various languages and because of the high number of international publications related to anatomy. A shared anatomical language is essential for the study and application of anatomy across various medical practices and in undergraduate education. Finally, the establishment of anatomical terminology in Spanish represents a long history of efforts to create a universal and precise language in this field. Despite advancements, the revision and adaptation of anatomical terms remain a continuous challenge to keep up with scientific progress and ensure effective communication in the field of anatomy.

Unfortunately, the long-awaited revision of the official anatomical nomenclature, the Terminologia Anatomica 2 (TA2), which was issued in 2019 and after a referendum among the Member Societies officially approved by the General Assembly of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists in 2020, is built on a new version of the Regular Anatomical Terminology (RAT) rules. This breaks with many traditional views of terminology. These changes in the Terminologia Anatomica of 1998 (TA98) met great resistance within many European Anatomical Societies and their members are not willing to use terms following the RAT rules. European anatomy teachers and scientists using traditional Latin in their teaching, textbooks and atlases will keep using the TA98. The German Anatomical Society (Anatomische Gesellschaft) recently announced the usage of the TA2023AG in curricular anatomical media such as textbooks and atlases, based on the TA98 and the Terminologia Neuroanatomica (TNA). We are preparing a more extensive improvement of the TA98, called Terminologia Anatomica Humana (TAH). This project is fully based on the noncontroversial terms of TA98, incorporating the recent digital version (2022) of the TNA from 2017. Further, it is completed with many new terms, including those in TA2, along with their definitions and relevant references, clinical terms, and correcting inconsistencies in the TA98. The TAH is still in process, but many chapters are already freely available at the IFAA Website in Fribourg ( https://ifaa.unifr.ch ) as is the digital version of the TNA.
ABSTRACT
La terminología usada para describir los diferentes hallazgos en la microscopía confocal de reflectancia (MCR), tanto en lesiones melanocíticas, como en no melanocíticas se ha consensuado en inglés. En el presente trabajo, se proponen los términos en español que mejor interpretan estos conceptos ya descritos para la MCR, mediante el consenso de expertos de distintas nacionalidades de habla hispana y utilizando el método DELPHI para el acuerdo final. Se obtuvieron 52 términos en total, de los cuales 28 fueron para lesiones melanocíticas y 24 para lesiones no melanocíticas. El uso de la nomenclatura propuesta permitirá una homogeneización y mejor entendimiento de las estructuras; una descripción más estandarizada en los registros clínicos y una mejor interpretación de estos informes por otros dermatólogos.(AU)
The terminology used to describe reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) findings in both melanocytic and nonmelanocytic lesions has been standardized in English. We convened a panel of Spanish-speaking RCM experts and used the Delphi method to seek consensus on which Spanish terms best describe RCM findings in this setting. The experts agreed on 52 terms: 28 for melanocytic lesions and 24 for nonmelanocytic lesions. The resulting terminology will facilitate homogenization, leading to a better understanding of structures, more standardized descriptions in clinical registries, and easier interpretation of clinical reports exchanged between dermatologists.(AU)

Los términos fossa y fovea se encuentran en Terminologia Anatomica, sin embargo, no existe una diferencia clara entre ambos términos. Por este motivo, el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la coherencia entre la relación léxica, morfológica y etimológica de los términos fossa y fovea con su utilización en Terminologia Anatomica. Los términos fossa y fovea fueron consultados en Terminologia Anatomica (Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology, 2019) y en Terminologia Anatomica Internacional (Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology, 2001). Posteriormente se realizó la búsqueda de ambos términos en diccionarios latín-español e inglés-latín. Finalmente fueron consultados los términos fossa y fovea en el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española y en el Diccionario panhispánico de términos médicos de la Real Academia Nacional de Medicina de España para conocer las definiciones en el área médica. La búsqueda reportó que el término "fosa" proviene del latín fossa, que significa "excavación, foso, fosa; hoyo, agujero". Por su parte "fóvea" proviene del latín fovea que significa"hoyo pequeño". Por lo tanto, la diferencia de fossa y fovea está determinada por su tamaño según sus definiciones. Sin embargo, en Terminologia Anatomica se han descrito estructuras con el diminutivo de fossa y fovea lo que complejiza la diferenciación de los términos según su tamaño. Además, la falta de unificación en la nomenclatura entre fossa, fovea y sus diminutivos, genera una gran confusión e incoherencias en las traducciones del latín al inglés y al español en Terminologia Anatomica que merman la precisión de la nomenclatura. Por lo tanto se propone la unificación de los términos fossa y fovea en base al tamaño de la depresión anatómica y clarificar su traducción al inglés y español.
SUMMARY: The terms fossa and fovea are found in Terminologia Anatomica, however, there is no clear difference between both terms. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the coherence between the lexical, morphological and etymological relationship of the term's fossa and fovea with their use in Terminologia Anatomica. The terms fossa and fovea were consulted in Terminologia Anatomica (Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology, 2019) and in International Anatomical Terminology (Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology, 2001). Subsequently, a search for both terms was carried out in Latin-Spanish and English-Latin dictionaries. Finally, the terms fossa and fovea were consulted in the Diccionario de la Real Academia Española and in the Diccionario panhispánico de términos médicos de la Real Academia Nacional de Medicina de España to know the definitions in the medical area. The search reported that the term "fossa" comes from the Latin fossa, which means "excavation, ditch, ditch; hole, hole." For its part, "fovea" comes from the Latin fovea, which means "small hole." Therefore, the difference between fossa and fovea is determined by their size according to their definitions. However, in Terminologia Anatomica, structures have been described with the diminutive of fossa and fovea, which makes the differentiation of the terms according to their size more complex. Furthermore, the lack of unification in the nomenclature between fossa, fovea and their diminutives generates great confusion and inconsistencies in the translations from Latin to English and Spanish in Terminologia Anatomica that reduce the precision of the nomenclature. Therefore, we propose the unification of the terms fossa and fovea based on the size of the anatomical depression and clarify their translation into English and Spanish.

Las terminologías son utilizadas como instrumento lingüístico que permite la transmisión de conocimiento de manera precisa y sin ambigüedades en el ámbito de las ciencias. Los lineamientos de la Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology (FIPAT) refieren que la denominación de nombres estructurales debe ser descriptivos e informativos. Este estudio analiza las raíces lingüísticas que componen el término Neuron parvum valde fluorescens vigente en Terminologia Histologica y el término Neuron parvum fluorescens vigente en Terminologia Neuroanatomica. Las células pequeñas intensamente fluorescentes son neuronas que se encuentran en el sistema nervioso autónomo, distribuidas en los ganglios simpáticos. Estas células presentan sinapsis aferentes con terminales nerviosas simpáticas preganglionares y sinapsis eferentes con las dendritas de las neuronas posganglionares. Su función es regular la transmisión ganglionar, actuando como interneuronas con señalización paracrina y endocrina. Además, se caracterizan por ser células fluorescentes, que expresan catecolaminas; serotonina, noradrenalina y dopamina. Se realizó una búsqueda en Terminologia Histologica y Terminologia Neuroanatomica, con una traducción de los términos al español. Además, la búsqueda se complementó en un diccionario etimológico en inglés para los términos correspondientes. Esta investigación encontró diferencia entre la traducción del latín al español del término fluorescens, quien posee un origen etimológico muy diferente a su significado en español. El término Neuron parvum valde fluorescens en Terminologia Histologica y el término Neuron parvum fluorescens en Terminologia Neuroanatomica, identifican a la misma estructura. Se sugiere reemplazar ambos términos por Cateconeuron ganglionare, entregando así una correcta descripción de este tipo de neurona, considerando su ubicación y función. Además, de esta manera ser un término concordante en latín para su incorporación en Terminologia Neuroanatomica y Terminologia Histologica.
SUMMARY: Terminologies are used as a linguistic tool to convey knowledge in a precise and unambiguous manner in science. The guidelines of the Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology (FIPAT) state that the names given to structures should be both descriptive and informative. This study analyses the linguistic roots of the term Neuron parvum valde fluorescens in Terminologia Histologica and the term Neuron parvum fluorescens in Terminologia Neuroanatomica. Small intensely fluorescent cells are neurons found in the autonomic nervous system, distributed in the sympathetic ganglia, they have afferent synapses with preganglionic sympathetic nerve terminals and efferent synapses with the dendrites of postganglionic neurons, whose function is to regulate ganglionic transmission, acting as interneurons with paracrine and endocrine signalling. They are also characterized as fluorescent cells, producing the catecholamines: serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine. A search was carried out in Terminologia Histologica and Terminologia Neuroanatomica, with a translation of the terms into Spanish. This was complemented by a search in an English etymological dictionary for the corresponding terms. This research found a difference between the Latin to English translation of the term fluorescens, which has a very different etymological origin to its English meaning. The term Neuron parvum valde fluorescens in Terminologia Histologica and the term Neuron parvum fluorescens in Terminologia Neuroanatomica identify the same structure. The proposal is to replace both terms with Cateconeuron ganglionare, thus affording an accurate description of this type of neuron, considering its location and function. Moreover, it would also be a concordant term in Latin for its incorporation into the Terminologia Neuroanatomica and Terminologia Histologica.

Almost 20% of the Latin nouns (193/993) in Terminologia Histologica (TH), the international standard nomenclature for human histology and cytology, display linguistic problems, particularly in the areas of orthography, gender, and declension. Some anatomists have opposed efforts to restore the quality of the Latin nomenclature as pedantry, preferring to create or modify Latin words so that they resemble words in English and other modern languages. A Latin microanatomical nomenclature is vulnerable to the criticism of anachronism, so the requirement for the use of authentic Latin, including derivation of new words from Greek and Latin words rather than from modern languages, if possible, may be even greater than it is for the anatomical nomenclature. The most common problem identified here appears to have been caused by derivation of Latin nouns by addition of -us and -um second declension endings to English words. Many Latin nouns (128) in TH contain one of six morphemes that have been treated this way even though the original Greek words are either first declension masculine or third declension neuter nouns. Ironically, deriving Latin nouns directly from Greek morphemes often results in words that look more familiar to speakers of Romance and Germanic languages than those derived indirectly through modern languages (e.g., astrocyte, collagene, dendrita, lipochroma, osteoclasta and telomere instead of astrocytus, collagenum, dendritum, lipochromum, osteoclastus, and telomerus).

Effective communication and precise navigation within the intricacies of the human body rely on robust anatomical terminology. Since its creation by the Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology (FCAT), the Terminologia Anatomica (TA 1998) has consistently served as the benchmark in the field. However, the constant advancement of anatomical knowledge requires regular revisions, updates, and enhancements of anatomical nomenclature to accommodate the latest scientific discoveries. The recent adoption of the second edition of Terminologia Anatomica (TA 2019) by the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA) has drawn attention to certain notable omissions. Despite over a century of dedicated work establishing standard anatomical terminology, specific widely recognized gross anatomical structures are still absent from the official listing in the Terminologia Anatomica. There is, however, a consensus that the inclusion of names for trivial or variably present structures should be avoided. Accordingly, this article focuses on a thoughtfully selected group of anatomical structures, which are so important that they are routinely discussed during anatomy courses, despite their exclusion from the official lists of anatomical terms. These basic structures hold fundamental importance for both anatomy education and clinical practice. Consequently, their appropriate nomenclature warrants consideration for inclusion in future editions of TA.

The terminology used to describe reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) findings in both melanocytic and nonmelanocytic lesions has been standardized in English. We convened a panel of Spanish-speaking RCM experts and used the Delphi method to seek consensus on which Spanish terms best describe RCM findings in this setting. The experts agreed on 52 terms: 28 for melanocytic lesions and 24 for nonmelanocytic lesions. The resulting terminology will facilitate homogenization, leading to a better understanding of structures, more standardized descriptions in clinical registries, and easier interpretation of clinical reports exchanged between dermatologists.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the evidence of content validity of the Nursing Outcomes "Mechanical Ventilation Response: Adult" and "Mechanical Ventilation Weaning Response: Adult", for patients with severe COVID-19. Method: Methodological study developed in two stages: literature review to construct the definitions of the indicators and analysis of the evidence of content validity of the nursing outcomes by a focus group. Results: All the conceptual and operational definitions developed for the 56 indicators were considered clear and precise. However, 17 indicators were excluded because they were deemed not to be relevant. The definitions of the magnitudes for 17 indicators of the Nursing Outcome "Mechanical Ventilation Response: Adult" and 22 indicators "Mechanical Ventilation Weaning Response: Adult" were thus constructed. Conclusion: The development of definitions and validation by experts makes the use of these outcomes and their indicators more understandable and precise, favoring their use in clinical practice and providing greater detail in assessment and recording.

Resultados: Todas las definiciones conceptuales y operativas elaboradas para los 56 indicadores se consideraron claras y precisas. Sin embargo, se excluyeron 17 indicadores porque se consideró que no eran pertinentes. Se construyeron así las definiciones de las magnitudes para 17 indicadores del resultado de enfermería "Respuesta a la ventilación mecánica: adulto" y 22 indicadores "Respuesta al destete de la ventilación mecánica: adulto". Conclusiones: La elaboración de definiciones y validación por expertos hace más comprensible y preciso el uso de estos resultados y sus indicadores, favoreciendo su uso en la práctica clínica y aportando mayor detalle en la valoración y registro.
RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar as evidências de validade de conteúdo dos Resultados de Enfermagem "Resposta à ventilação mecânica: adulto" e "Resposta ao Desmame da Ventilação Mecânica: adulto", para pacientes adultos com COVID-19 grave. Método: Estudo metodológico desenvolvido em duas etapas: revisão da literatura para construção das definições dos indicadores e análise das evidências de validade de conteúdo dos resultados de enfermagem por um grupo focal. Resultados: Todas as definições conceituais e operacionais elaboradas para os 56 indicadores foram consideradas claras e precisas. Entretanto, 17 indicadores foram excluídos por serem julgados pouco relevantes. Desse modo foram construídas as definições das magnitudes para 17 indicadores do Resultados de Enfermagem "Resposta a ventilação mecânica: adulto" e de 22 indicadores "Resposta ao desmame da ventilação mecânica: adulto". Conclusão: A elaboração das definições e a validação por especialistas tornam o uso desses Resultados e seus indicadores mais compreensível e preciso, favorecendo o uso na prática clínica, proporcionando maior detalhamento da avaliação e dos registros.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: To reflect on the contributions of representing nursing practice elements in the ISO 18.104:2023 standard. Method: This is a theoretical study with standard analysis. Categorical structures were described to represent nursing practice in terminological systems and contributions identified in the parts of the version were analyzed. Results: There is innovation in the inclusion of nurse sensitive outcomes, nursing action, nursing diagnosis explanation as an indicator of nursing service demand and complexity of care, representation of concepts through mental maps and suggestion of use of restriction models for nursing actions. It describes that the Nursing Process is constituted by nursing diagnosis, nursing action and nurse sensitive outcomes. Final considerations: Indicating a nursing diagnosis as an indicator will bring benefits for knowledge production and decision-making. Although care outcomes are not exclusive responses to nursing action, the modifiable attributes of a nursing diagnosis generate knowledge about clinical practice, nursing action effectiveness and subjects of care' health state. There is coherence in understanding the Nursing Process concept evolution.
RESUMO Objetivo: Refletir sobre as contribuições da representação dos elementos da prática de enfermagem na norma ISO 18.104:2023. Método: Estudo teórico com análise da norma. Foram descritas estruturas categoriais para representação da prática da enfermagem nos sistemas terminológicos e analisadas as contribuições identificadas nas partes da versão. Resultados: Há inovação na inclusão do resultado sensível à ação da enfermeira, explicitação do diagnóstico de enfermagem como indicador da demanda de serviços e complexidade de assistência, representação dos conceitos por mapas mentais e sugestão do uso de modelos de restrição para ações de enfermagem. Descreve que o Processo de Enfermagem é constituído pelo diagnóstico, ação e resultado sensível à ação da enfermeira. Considerações finais: A indicação do diagnóstico de enfermagem como um indicador trará benefícios para produção de conhecimento e tomada de decisão. Embora os resultados do cuidado não sejam respostas exclusivas a uma ação da enfermeira, os atributos modificáveis de um diagnóstico de enfermagem geram conhecimentos sobre a prática clínica, a eficácia das ações de enfermagem e o estado de saúde dos sujeitos de cuidado. Há coerência na compreensão da evolução do conceito de Processo de Enfermagem.

ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objectives: To build a specialized nursing terminology for the care of people with respiratory diseases and Covid-19 or who have respiratory diseases after Covid-19, based on ICNP®. Method: Methodological study developed in two stages: (1) identification of the relevant concepts for the health priority chosen from the literature; (2) cross-mapping of the identified concepts with the concepts contained in ICNP® version 2019/2020. Results: 9460 terms were extracted from the literature, of which 4065 terms were excluded because they were not related to the object of study and 5395 were submitted to the mapping technique, resulting in 290 constant terms in the ICNP® and 5134 non-constant terms. The constant terms were classified into the following axes: 120 in the Focus axis, 13 in Judgment, 48 in Action, 23 in Location, 38 in Means, eight in Time and one in Client. In addition, 36 nursing diagnoses/outcomes and three nursing interventions were mapped.

ABSTRACT
Objective: to describe the process of developing a terminological subset for the International Classification of Nursing Practice in Diabetes Mellitus, based on Horta's Basic Human Needs Theory and Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory. Method: a methodological study based on the identification in the literature of 313 statements of nursing diagnoses pertinent to diabetes care, selected and validated by a consensus of nurses from different states of Brazil, specialists in diabetes, using the nominal group technique. Results: 156 nursing diagnosis/result statements were selected, of which 111 (71.15%) related to psychobiological needs, 42 (26.92%) to psychosocial needs and three (1.92%) to psychospiritual needs. A total of 433 nursing interventions were developed. The diagnostic statements were validated on the basis of a consensus among the experts, with an average content validity index of 0.89: 0.87 for psychobiological needs, 0.93 for psychosocial needs, and 0.77 for psychospiritual needs. Conclusion: the study validated the terminological subset for the International Classification of Nursing Practice in Diabetes, favoring clinical reasoning, the qualification of the Nursing Process, and the improvement of self-care practices in diabetes. It has made it possible to use nursing's own language based on a globally recognized classification.

ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: to design a qualitative and quantitative scale for measuring specific workloads for obstetric-gynecological nurses (midwives) within the delivery unit and based on the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). Method: this is a mixed qualitative study through focus groups and quantitative with real measurements of NIC times, descriptive and cross-sectional. From September 2020 to May 2021, an extensive bibliographic search, mapping, ad hoc scale development and configuration of three focus groups were carried out to agree on scale design. Moreover, a comparison was carried out on the subjective perception of the time spent providing care (NIC) during the delivery process by focus groups with respect to times actually measured between March and April 2021 in a delivery unit. Results: the qualitative data obtained in focus groups were analyzed and related, agreeing on the ad hoc measuring instrument's final structure and the importance of having this measuring instrument representative of their work, with standardized language adapted to real health demands. Furthermore, when comparing the subjective and real execution times of each of the NIC, we found a significant correlation when presenting different mean execution times with a variation of 13 minutes. Conclusion: the midwives in this study determined the measurement instrument construct validity for their workloads.
RESUMO Objetivo: elaborar uma escala qualitativa e quantitativa para mensuração de cargas de trabalho específicas para enfermeiras obstétrico-ginecológicas (parteiras) na unidade de parto e baseada na Classificação das Intervenções de Enfermagem (NIC). Método: trata-se de um estudo qualitativo misto por meio de grupos focais e quantitativo com medidas reais de tempos NIC, descritivo e transversal. De setembro de 2020 a maio de 2021, foi realizada uma extensa pesquisa bibliográfica, mapeamento, desenvolvimento de escala ad hoc e configuração de três grupos focais para chegar a um acordo sobre o desenho da escala. Além disso, foi realizada uma comparação da percepção subjetiva do tempo gasto na prestação de cuidados (NIC) durante o processo de parto pelos grupos focais com os tempos efetivamente medidos entre março e abril de 2021 em uma unidade de parto. Resultados: os dados qualitativos obtidos nos grupos focais foram analisados e relacionados, concordando com a estrutura final do instrumento de medição ad hoc e a importância de ter este instrumento de medição representativo do seu trabalho, com linguagem padronizada e adaptada às reais demandas de saúde. Além disso, ao comparar os tempos de execução subjetivos e reais de cada uma das NIC, encontramos correlação significativa ao apresentar tempos médios de execução diferentes com variação de 13 minutos. Conclusão: as parteiras deste estudo determinaram a validade de construto do instrumento de medida para suas cargas de trabalho.
RESUMEN Objetivo: diseñar cualitativa y cuantitativa, una escala de medición de cargas de trabajo, específica para las enfermeras obstétrico-ginecológicas (matronas), dentro de la unidad de partos y basada en la Clasificación de Intervenciones de Enfermería (NIC).

Resultados: se analizaron y relacionaron los datos cualitativos obtenidos de los grupos focales, coincidiendo en la estructura final del instrumento ad hoc de medida, y en la importancia de tener este instrumento de medida representativo de su trabajo, con un leguaje estandarizado y adaptado a la demanda sanitaria real. Además, al comparar los tiempos subjetivos y reales de ejecución de cada una de las intervenciones NIC, encontramos una correlación significativa, al presentar distintos promedios de tiempos de ejecución con una variación de 13 minutos. Conclusión: las matronas de este estudio determinaron la validez del constructo del instrumento de medición para sus cargas de trabajo.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: validar el cuestionario "Conocimientos y comportamientos de autocuidado de la mu-jer embarazada ante los trastornos hipertensivos del embarazo - CoNOCiTHE". Materiales y Métodos: estudio psicométrico de validez y confiabilidad, realizado en el segundo semestre del 2022 en Santander, Colombia, con una muestra de 217 mujeres embarazadas. La consistencia interna se evaluó con el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach, la confiabilidad test-retest a partir del Coeficiente de Correlación Intraclase (CCI). La validez, examinó la validez de criterio conver-gente y de grupos conocidos. Resultados: La escala con 72 ítems originales, luego de un análi-sis de correlación condujo a la eliminación de 14 ítems. El instrumento en su versión definitiva evidenció una consistencia interna de 0,67 y una estabilidad test-retest con un CCI de 0,96. La validez convergente demostró una correlación significativa con los resultados conocimiento: proceso de la enfermedad (rho=0,405; p=0,019) y control del riesgo: hipertensión (rho= 0,503; p=0,003). En la validez de grupos conocidos se encontró diferencias en las puntuaciones de mujeres con más de 20 semanas de gestación y menos de 20 (p=0,009). Conclusiones: Las propiedades psicométricas aceptables del cuestionario lo convierten en una herramienta válida para evaluar el conocimiento y los comportamientos de autocuidado ante los trastornos hi-pertensivos del embarazo en el idioma español y en el contexto Colombiano
