INIESTA SANCHEZ, J. et al. Impact assessment of a plan of nursing care of patients diagnosed with COPD nurse "Ineffective management of therapeutic regimen," in terms of improving the nursing outcomes (NOC) "Knowledge of therapeutic regime". []. , 15, 41, pp.39-48. ISSN 1695-6141.

Purpose: To determine the impact on the "Knowledge of the therapeutic regimen," in patients with a care plan on "ineffective management of therapeutic regimen." Methods: Quasi-experimental study in two General Hospitals University (June 2007-December 2008) COPD patients. Group intervention: care plan developed by taxonomies; Control group: usual hospital care. Findings: 143 patients were Recruited (Intervention group = 56, control group = 87). NOC improvement at 2 weeks (69.2% vs 10.7% intervention control; p <.008); NOC improvement at 24 weeks (68.7% vs.10.1%; p <.001). Indicators "description regimen justification"; "Prescribed activity"; "Treatment benefit" better with p <.001. Conclusions: The implementation of a discharged plan care direct to increase the nursing outcome classification improves management of therapeutic regimen. Implications for nursing practice: The implementation of taxonomies in care planning discharged are a tool that allow to evaluate outcomes of nursing interventions and its evolution.
