LUQUE BALLESTEROS, M. et al. Nursing diagnoses in social-sanitary funtional interdisciplinary, geriatrics , traumatology and general surgery. []. , 10, 22. ISSN 1695-6141.

In 2006, after the addition of a new nurse in UFISS (Social-Sanitary Functional Interdisciplinary Unit), is detected the need of a common language for all nurses with which to conduct a data collection for the nursing reports. The aim of this study is to know the main nursing diagnoses in UFISS, Geriatrics, Traumatology and Surgery units, using the NANDA (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association) nursing diagnostic terminology. We performed a retrospective study of all the medical reports at UFISS in 2006, a prospective study of all medical reports at Geriatrics and geriatric patients at Traumatology and Surgery in various periods between 2008 and 2009. According to the results, the use of a validated method like NANDA diagnoses, has enabled to nurses to identify common altered needs and after that, to define Nursing Diagnoses and develop the optimal care plan for the patient.
