Abstract

Purpose: To identify the NANDA-I-NOC-NIC (NNN) linkages for inpatients of the obstetrics nursing unit using electronic nursing records.

Methods: In this retrospective, descriptive survey, the electronic nursing records for 220 adult patients aged ≥18 years who were discharged after obstetrics nursing unit were analyzed.

Findings: The 7 most frequent nursing diagnoses were found to be associated with 9 nursing outcomes and 26 nursing interventions.

Conclusions: Herein, the list of nursing diagnoses was observed to comprise the safety/protection domain, the list of nursing outcomes the physiological health domain, and the list of nursing interventions the physiological: complex domain.

Implications for nursing practice: This result can contribute to improving the nursing quality and will help continuing education and documentation system refinement.
