Abstract

RIASSUNTO

Esistono in letteratura diverse definizioni di esiti sensibili alle cure infermieristiche. Van Der Bruggen e Groen, li hanno definiti come un aspetto osservabile e misurabile dell'individuo, gruppo o popolazione che deve essere obiettivo per clinici e ricercatori e soggettivo per il paziente e la famiglia. Johnson e Maas, come stati, comportamenti o percezioni variabili del paziente, della famiglia o del caregiver conseguenti ad interventi assistenziali. Per l'International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP), l'outcome infermieristico è lo status di una diagnosi infermieristica dopo un intervento assistenziale. Nell'Iowa Outcome Project, in cui è stato elaborato il sistema Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) l'esito assistenziale è una condizione, comportamento o percezione misurabile della persona o della sua famiglia, concettualizzata come variabile sensibile alle cure infermieristiche. Gli esiti individuati dal sistema NOC sono focalizzati sull'individuo, sulla famiglia e sulla comunití , e si riferiscono a stati, comportamenti o percezioni. Gli elementi da considerare nella definizione degli outcome infermieristici sono quattro: aspetti specifici dell'assistenza infermieristica, la patologia, aspetti generali dell'assistenza, la tipologia di paziente. E' importante pensare quali sistemi di valutazione degli esiti possono essere più appropriati in Italia, dove il campo d'azione dell'infermiere ha dei confini sfumati, con funzioni che si fondono e si confondono con altre figure professionali. Studi sull'effettiva possibilití  di applicare la tassonomia NOC in Italia potrebbero essere una base di partenza per la definizione o l'adattamento di un sistema di valutazione degli esiti che consenta realmente la visibilití  oggettiva del contributo che la figura infermieristica offre nel miglioramento globale della persona assistita

Parole chiave: Studi sugli esiti, misurazione degli esiti, processo di nursing, ricerca infermieristica

ABSTRACT

Literature reports several definitions of outcomes sensitive to nursing care. Van Der Bruggen & Groen defined nursing outcomes as observable and measurable aspects in individuals, groups and population that should be objective for clinicians and researchers and subjective for patients and families. Johnson & Maas defined nursing outcomes as variable behaviors or perceptions of family or caregiver after the caring intervention. According to the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP), nursing outcomes are the status of a nursing diagnosis after the intervention. In the IowaOutcome Project, where Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) system has been elaborated, nursing outcome is a measurable condition, behavior or perception of the person or family conceptualized as sensitive variable to nursing care. Outcomes of NOC system are focused on individuals, families and community and refers to status, behavior or perceptions. Elements to be considered in nursing outcome definition are four: specific aspects of nursing care, the illness, general aspects of care, patient typology. It is important to identify which system for nursing evaluation outcomes are more suitable for Italy, where the field of action of nurses has faded edge with functions that mix and confuse with other professionals. Studies on the application of NOC taxonomy in Italy could be a starting point for defining and adapting an outcome evaluation system that will allow the objective visibility that nursing care gives to the global improvement of the cared person.
