ICNP® nursing diagnoses and outcomes for community mental health based on the Tidal Model

Abstract

Objectives: to construct International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) nursing diagnosis and outcome statements for the context of community mental health based on the Tidal Model. Methods: methodological research, developed in three stages: identification of terms relevant to clinical nursing practice in the context of community mental health; mapping of selected terms with the terms of ICNP® 2019/2020; construction of nursing diagnosis and outcome statements. Results: 1,417 terms were identified, resulting in a final number of 890 after the cross-mapping stage with ICNP® 2019/2020. A total of 426 nursing diagnosis/outcome statements and their respective definitions were constructed, categorizing them based on three concepts from the Tidal Model: self-domain, other-domain, and world-domain. Conclusions: the nursing diagnosis/outcome statements constructed reflect important concepts/terms of nursing practice in community mental health, contributing to the Nursing Process.
