International Classification of Nursing Practice
The International Classification of Nursing Practice ( ICNP , dt. International Classification for Nursing Practice ) is a medical classification system and contains a reference terminology for the acquisition of nursing diagnoses (nursing phenomena), nursing procedures and care results. ICNP was developed by the International Council of Nurses (ICN).
history
The starting point for the conception of the ICNP is the 19th four-year meeting of the International Council of Nurses (ICN) in Seoul in 1989, at which the participants discussed the inability of professional nurses to communicate their specific contribution to the health system. The decision was then made to develop a nursing classification to describe nursing practice.
A research and development team began work as part of a pilot project (1992). The first results were compiled and published in the form of a preliminary version, the alpha version (1996). This was expanded to ICNP Beta 2 three years later . The classification has been ICNP® Version 1.0 since 2005 .
The German-language edition has been created by a specially founded user group since the mid-1990s. In 2003, it was the first user group to be accredited by the ICN as a research and development center.
aims
The aim of the ICNP is to describe and document nursing practice, to create a uniform and internationally comparable language and to collect data (statistics) in order to ensure international comparability and the like. a. the effectiveness of the nursing actions.
Scope and structure
The ICNP (current version 1.0) is divided into 7 axes: Client (client), Focus (focus), Judgment (assessment), Means (means), Action (plot), Time (time), Location (place)
education
With the amendment of the Nursing Act and the associated training and examination ordinance, the Hessian Ministry of Social Affairs commissioned a group of experts to design a new framework curriculum for training in healthcare and nursing, or healthcare and children's nursing . The draft now available uses the description structure of the nursing phenomena of the ICNP to design two main subject areas ("Recognize, record and evaluate the nursing situation in people of all ages" and "Select, implement and evaluate nursing measures").
