통증 간호사정을 위한 임상내용모델 개발

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop and validate Detailed Clinical Models (DCMs) for pain assessment in nursing. Methods: First, we identified the entities of pain assessment from ICNP. We identified the attributes and values of the attributes to describe the entities in more detail by reviewing the literature. Data types and optionalities of the attributes were defined. Second, we modeled the DCMs by linking an entity and its corresponding attributes with values and by specifying the data types and optionalities of the attributes. Finally, the DCMs were validated by a group of domain experts using a content validity index. Results: In total, 19 DCMs with 11 attributes for pain assessment were developed. The experts' evaluations showed that the DCMs were valid enough to represent pain related information of nursing assessment. Conclusion: The DCMs developed in this study can be used in electronic nursing records. The DCMs for pain can ensure the semantic interoperability of pain related information in electronic nursing records.
