Abstract
The study aims to assess indicators of Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) related to the nursing diagnosis Ineffective Breathing Pattern (IBP) in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). The study used a cross-sectional study carried out in 63 children with CHD up to 2 years old. Seventeen operational indicators of NOC related to IBP were evaluated. Seven indicators presented statistically significant differences between children with and without IBP. Impaired expiration was the indicator assessed with greatest frequency in both groups. The study showed differences in the clinical indicators between children with and without IBP. The use of NOC indicators allowed an assessment of the differences and the level of respiratory impairment among children with and without IBP.
