PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to validate the content of nursing diagnosis hopelessness in Slovak and Czech social and cultural contexts.
METHODS. The Fehring's Diagnostic Content Validity Model was used to measure the importance of diagnostic characteristics of hopelessness.
FINDINGS. Only three NANDA characteristics and five Nowotny Hope Scale characteristics have reached the value of weighted average of the scores for defining characteristics.
CONCLUSION. NANDA characteristics are concerned with the affective–behavioral dimension of hopelessness. Nowotny Hope Scale characteristics that reached high importance in our study are concerned with its cognitive–temporal dimension.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE. The defining characteristics of hopelessness identified in our study could be tested in the development of instrument to measure hope in clinical practice.
CIEL'. Cielom práce bola obsahová validizácia diagnózy Beznádej v slovenskom a českom socio-kultúrnom kontexte.
METÓDY. Významnost' diagnostických znakov diagnózy Beznádej bola hodnotená prostredníctvom Fehringovho modelu validity diagnostického obsahu.
VÝSLEDKY. Hodnoty hraničného váženého skóre dosiahli len tri znaky z klasifikačného systému NANDA–I a pät' charakteristík z Nowotnej škály nádeje.
ZÁVER. Charakteristiky beznádeje, ktoré vymedzuje NANDA-I sa týkajú jej afektívno-behaviorálnej oblasti. Položky z Nowotnej škály nádeje, ktoré v našej štúdii hodnotili experti ako významné, predstavujú jej kognitívno-temporálnu oblast' beznádeje.
IMPLIKÁCIE PRE OŠETROVATELSKÚ PRAX. Definujúce znaky beznádeje, identifikované v našej štúdii, môžu byt' dalej testované v rámci konštrukcie nástroja merania beznádeje v klinickej praxi.
