Validation and coding of the NIC taxonomy structure. Iowa Intervention Project. Nursing Interventions Classification.

Processes for validation and coding of the taxonomy for the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) are described. A sample of nurses expert in theory development rated the NIC taxonomy using five criteria. Following identification of a stable structure, the taxonomy was coded with each intervention receiving a unique number. A coded and valid taxonomic structure facilitates use of the classification in computerization and makes possible the collection of comparable data. A coded classification can also be used in reimbursement systems.

A description of medical-surgical nursing.

The Iowa Nursing Intervention Classification research project asked the Academy of Medical Surgical Nurses to complete a survey, identifying which of 336 interventions were used by this specialty and the frequency of their use. The results of this survey and potential implications for nursing practice are discussed.

The dimensional structure of nursing interventions.

The derivation and description of the embedded structure undergirding nursing interventions are provided in this study. To determine the dimensions of nursing interventions, multidimensional scaling was used to analyze similarity ratings among classes of interventions. Kruskal's stress formula indicated that the embedded structure is composed of three dimensions. To describe the dimensions, each intervention class was rated on a 16-attribute pair semantic differential scale. Subsequent factor analysis and correlations of the factors with the dimensions resulted in the delineation of three dimensions: intensity of care, complexity of care, and focus of care.

Inductive methodology and a research team.

Large teams of researchers using inductive methodologies are relatively rare and present unique challenges to team members. A team from the University of Iowa reports on what it experienced during a project to develop a taxonomy of nursing interventions.
