Aim: The objective of the review was the analysis of Czech and foreign literature sources and professional periodicals to obtain\na relevant comprehensive overview of validation studies of nursing diagnoses in neonatology. Design: Review. Methods: The\nselection criterion was studies concerning the validation of nursing diagnoses in neonatology. To obtain data from relevant\nsources, the licensed professional databases EBSCO, Web of Science and Scopus were utilized. The search criteria were: date\nof publication ââ?¬â?? unlimited; academic periodicals ââ?¬â?? full text; peer-reviewed periodicals; search language ââ?¬â?? English, Czech and\nSlovak. Results: A total of 788 studies were found. Only 5 studies were eligible for content analysis, dealing specifically with\nvalidation of nursing diagnoses in neonatology. The analysis of the retrieved studies suggests that authors are most often\nconcerned with identifying the defining characteristics of nursing diagnoses applicable to both the mother (parents) and the\nnewborn. The diagnoses were validated in the domains Role Relationship; Coping/Stress tolerance; Activity/Rest, and\nElimination and Exchange. Diagnoses represented were from the field of dysfunctional physical needs as well as the field of\npsychosocial and spiritual needs. The diagnoses were as follows: Parental role conflict (00064); Impaired parenting (00056);\nGrieving (00136); Ineffective breathing pattern (00032); Impaired gas exchange (00030); and Impaired spontaneous ventilation\n(00033). Conclusion: Validation studies enable effective planning of interventions with measurable results and support clinical\nnursing practice.
