      Le guide par excellence des diagnostics infirmiers des expert(e)s de NANDA-I dans une nouvelle édition mise à jourEntièrement mise à jour et révisée par les éditrices T. Heather Herdman, Shigemi Kamitsuru et Camila Takáo Lopes, la 13e édition de Diagnostics infirmiers deNANDA International : définitions et classification, 2024-2026, est le guide complet des diagnostics infirmiers, tel qu’il a été révisé et approuvé par le Comité dedéveloppement des diagnostics (CDD) de NANDA International (NANDA-I). Dans la nouvelle édition de cet ouvrage de référence, les éditrices ont fourni une discussion plus approfondie sur le diagnostic et son lien avec l’évaluation infirmière. Elles ont utilisé le modèle tripartite de la pratique infirmière de Kamitsuru pour faire la distinction entre les interventions interdépendantes fondées sur les normes de soins médicaux, les normes organisationnelles de soins et les interventions infirmières autonomes fondées sur les normes de soins infirmiers. Les modes fonctionnels de santé sont utilisés comme trame d’évaluation pour guider les infirmier(e)s dans une collecte de données pertinentes afin de favoriser l’exactitude du diagnostic infirmier. L’ontologie, la classification et la taxonomie sont décrites, et la structure axiale des diagnostics – qui a fait l’objet d’une révision significative – est expliquée en détail. Un aperçu des changements et révisions apportés à la classification est fourni, ainsi que les priorités de recherche mises à jour et les priorités futures pour le CDD et NANDA-I.Principales mises à jour56 nouveaux diagnostics infirmiers et 123 diagnostics révisésrévision des indicateurs diagnostiques pour réduire l’ambiguïté et améliorer la clartémise à jour des axes avec affectation cohérente des valeurs d’axe à chaque diagnosticrévision des critères de niveau de preuve afin de s’assurer que les diagnostics futurs demeurent à un niveau de preuve approprié pour représenter la force actuelle des connaissances infirmièresles ressources en ligne comprennent des listes de référence pour tous les diagnostics nouveaux et révisésRigoureusemen... mise à jour et révisée, la nouvelle édition de cet ouvrage reconnu est une ressource incontournable pour l’ensemble des étudiant(e)s en soins infirmiers, des infirmier(e)s professionnel(le)s, des cadres formateurs(trices), des infirmier(e)s informaticien(ne)s, des infirmier(e)s chercheur(e)s et les directeur(trice)s de soins.T.
