Using interoperable nursing care data to improve outcomes for multiple traumas patients with Impaired Physical Mobility.

AIM(S): To demonstrate how interoperable nursing care data can be used by nurses to create a more holistic understanding of the healthcare needs of multiple traumas patients with Impaired Physical Mobility. By proposing and validating linkages for the nursing diagnosis of Impaired Physical Mobility in multiple trauma patients by mapping to the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) and Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) equivalent terms using free-text nursing documentation. DESIGN: A descriptive cross-sectional design, combining quantitative analysis of interoperable data sets and the Kappa's coefficient score with qualitative insights from cross-mapping methodology and nursing professionals' consensus. METHODS: Cross-mapping methodology was conducted in a Brazilian Level 1 Trauma Center using de-identified records of adult patients with a confirmed medical diagnosis of multiple traumas and Impaired Physical Mobility (a nursing diagnosis). The hospital nursing free-text records were mapped to NANDA-I, NIC, NOC and NNN linkages were identified. The data records were retrieved for admissions from September to October 2020 and involved medical and nursing records. Three expert nurses evaluated the cross-mapping and linkage results using a 4-point Likert-type scale and Kappa's coefficient. RESULTS: The de-identified records of 44 patients were evaluated and then were mapped to three NOCs related to nurses care planning: (0001) Endurance; (0204) Immobility Consequences: Physiological, and (0208) Mobility and 13 interventions and 32 interrelated activities: (6486) Environmental Management: Safety; (0840) Positioning; (3200) Aspiration Precautions; (1400) Pain Management; (0940) Traction/Immobilization Care; (3540) Pressure Ulcer Prevention; (3584) Skincare: Topical Treatment; (1100) Nutrition Management; (3660) Wound Care; (1804) Self-Care Assistance: Toileting; (1801) Self-Care Assistance: Bathing/Hygiene; (4130) Fluid Monitoring; and (4200) Intravenous Therapy. The final version of the constructed NNN Linkages identified 37 NOCs and 41 NICs. CONCLUSION: These valid NNN linkages for patients with multiple traumas can serve as a valuable resource that enables nurses, who face multiple time constraints, to make informed decisions efficiently. This approach of using evidence-based linkages like the one developed in this research holds high potential for improving patient's safety and outcomes. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: In this study, there was no direct involvement of patients, service users, caregivers or public members in the design, conduct, analysis and interpretation of data or preparation of the manuscript. The study focused solely on analysing existing de-identified medical and nursing records to propose and validate linkages for nursing diagnoses.

Nursing interventions and activities for patients with multiple traumas: An integrative review.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify nursing interventions and activities for patients with multiple traumas who have variations in physical mobility. METHODS: We used integrative literature review following Whittemore and Knafl method and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses' guidelines and adopting the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Classification Medicine - Levels of Evidence. The data collection was carried out between October and December 2019 and updated in May 2022, in the following databases: Virtual Health Library, Cochrane Library, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, PubMed®, SciVerse Scopus, The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Web of Science. FINDINGS: There were 103 articles to be fully read and evaluated. From these, 34 publications were selected. Most nursing interventions and activities identified were placed in the NIC class Activity and Exercise Management in the Physiological: Basic domain, which has interventions to organize or to assist with physical activity, energy conservation, and expenditure; followed by Elimination Management (interventions to establish and maintain regular bowel and urinary elimination patterns and manage complications due to altered patterns); Immobility Management (interventions to manage restricted body movement and the sequelae); Nutrition Support (interventions to modify or maintain nutritional status); Physical Comfort Promotion (interventions to promote comfort using physical techniques); and Self-Care Facilitation (interventions to provide or assist with routine activities of daily living). CONCLUSIONS: The interventions and nursing activities found in this research were not only related to the change in mobility in victims of multiple traumas but also aimed to prevent the consequences of immobility and to take care of already established conditions. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NURSING PRACTICE: This research enables the taxonomy's development and the validation of interventions for selected groups of patients. This allows the contribution to the development of the NIC-an important resource to improve nursing practice in teaching, research, and care.

OBJETIVO: Esta pesquisa propõe a identificação das intervenções e atividades de enfermagem para pacientes politraumatizados que apresentam alterações na mobilidade física. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de uma revisão minuciosa da literatura, seguindo o método de Whittemore e Knafl e as diretrizes Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (2005) e adotando o Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Classification Medicine - Levels of Evidence (2011). A busca na literatura inclui bases de dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde; Biblioteca Cochrane; Base de dados Excerpta Medica; Sistema de Análise e Recuperação de Literatura Médica Online; PubMed®; SciVerse Scopus; O Índice Cumulativo para Enfermagem e Literatura de Saúde Aliada; e Web of Science. As buscas foram realizadas entre outubro e dezembro de 2019 e atualizadas em maio de 2022. RESULTADOS: Havia 103 artigos para serem lidos e avaliados na íntegra. Destes, foram selecionadas 34. A maioria das intervenções e atividades de enfermagem identificadas foram colocadas na classe NIC Gerenciamento de Atividades e Exercícios no domínio Fisiológico: Básico, que possui intervenções para organizar ou auxiliar na atividade física, conservação de energia e gasto; seguido pelo Gerenciamento de Eliminação (intervenções para estabelecer e manter padrões regulares de eliminação intestinal e urinária e gerenciar complicações devido a padrões alterados); Gestão da Imobilidade (intervenções para gerir o movimento corporal restrito e as sequelas); Suporte Nutricional (intervenções para modificar ou manter o estado nutricional); Promoção do Conforto Físico (intervenções para promover o conforto utilizando técnicas físicas); e Facilitação do Autocuidado (intervenções para fornecer ou auxiliar nas atividades rotineiras da vida diária). CONCLUSÕES: As intervenções e atividades de enfermagem encontradas nesta pesquisa não estavam relacionadas apenas à alteração da mobilidade em vítimas de politraumatismos, mas também visavam prevenir as consequências da imobilidade e cuidar das condições já estabelecidas. IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A PRÁTICA DE ENFERMAGEM: Esta pesquisa possibilita o desenvolvimento da taxonomia e a validação de intervenções para grupos selecionados de pacientes. Isso permite contribuir para o desenvolvimento da NIC - importante recurso para aprimorar a prática de enfermagem no ensino, na pesquisa e na assistência.
