Application of NANDA-I nursing diagnoses, nursing interventions classification, and nursing outcomes classification in research and practice of cardiac rehabilitation nursing: A scoping review

PURPOSE: To describe the current application status of NANDA-I nursing diagnoses, Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) in cardiac rehabilitation nursing and identify useful NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC (NNN) linkages for clinical nursing practitioners. METHODS: This scoping review was performed in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institut guidelines. We systematically searched eight databases, and the literature search took place between June and July 2023. The characteristics and results of the studies were synthesized and analyzed in a narrative way. FINDINGS: The application of NANDA-I nursing diagnosis, NIC and NOC in cardiac rehabilitation nursing can be divided into three topics: the content, value and effect of NANDA-I nursing diagnosis, NIC and NOC. CONCLUSION: The application of NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC in the field of cardiac rehabilitation nursing shows positive effects on the whole, which can provide more standardized theoretical guidance, improve nursing outcomes in clinical settings, and enhance nursing quality. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: This experience report will guide nurses to use NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC for better cardiac rehabilitation care.
