A Content Analysis of Clinical Indicators of the Nursing Diagnosis Ineffective Breathing Pattern

Abstract

PURPOSE

To verify the relevance of the clinical indicators, the clarity and precision of the conceptual, and operational definitions for Ineffective breathing pattern (IBP).

METHODS

A content analysis by 39 judges.

FINDINGS

The results showed 28 clinical indicators for IBP. However, only seven were not considered relevant for the diagnosis. These are not listed in NANDA International taxonomy. All conceptual and operational definitions were adequate, according to the analysis of the judges.

CONCLUSION
