Abstract
The study aims to validate nursing outcomes from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) related to the nursing diagnosis of impaired tissue integrity (00044) in adults with pressure ulcer (PU). It was a consensus validation study using the focus group technique. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, and NOCs that obtained 100% consensus were considered validated. Of the 16 NOCs evaluated, nine were validated. The NOCs validated may identify the effectiveness, impact, and quality of interventions, making it possible to maintain or change the care planning of PU patients. This work may serve to contribute to the future development of NOC, making it possible to evaluate the outcomes of PU patients in terms of the interventions performed in nursing practice.
