Description
Summary:Developing a nursing care plan for older adults, using nursing diagnoses and planning nursing interventions based on these, contributes to the development of a continuum of patient-centred care. The study explores the incidence of nursing diagnoses and interventions in older adults in community nursing care and whether they differ according to living environment, education, and gender. A combination of quantitative and qualitative research approaches was used to analyse the archival data collected in the CoNSENSo project. A retrograde review of documents was carried out, with which we wanted to review a selection of nursing diagnoses and nursing interventions collected on a sample of 732 older adults. The classification according to the NANDA model was used to determine the agreed diagnoses. In the identification of nursing diagnoses, there are statistically significant differences between the incidence of nursing diagnoses according to the level of education, gender and living environment (urban/rural). The obtained data significantly contribute to and confirm the importance of using nursing diagnoses and nursing intervention planning for effective management of patient treatment in the home environment.
