Abstract

Abstract Objectives to identify the terms that represent the human needs affected in chronic renal failure patients on hemodialysis; and to cross-map these terms with those already existing in the International Classification for Nursing Practice. Method a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, conducted between February and December 2021, a period in which an integrative literature review was prepared to survey the terms that represent the human needs affected in chronic renal failure patients on hemodialysis; then, we proceeded to the cross-mapping of these terms identified with the ICNP® terms 2019/2020 version. Results 1,946 terms were identified extracted from the articles that were part of the integrative review. After the normalization and standardization process, 689 terms were excluded, resulting in the subsequent composition of 1,257 terms, which were mapped with the terms of the International Classification for Nursing Practice 2019/2020 version. In the end, the term bank consisted of 626 constant terms and 631 non-constant terms. Conclusion and implications for practice relevant terms were identified for nursing practice in the care of chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis. The terms will help nurses to promote a systematized care, using an evidence-based practice.
