NANDA International (NANDA-I), previously known as the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, stands as a premier global association dedicated to the standardization of nursing terminology. Founded in 1982, NANDA-I plays an essential role in cultivating, advancing, and refining the nomenclature, criteria, and taxonomy of nursing diagnoses, catering to the evolving needs of the nursing community.
History[edit | edit source]
The origins of NANDA-I can be traced back to the 1970s when nurses began seeking avenues for standardizing nursing terminology. This initiative culminated in the official establishment of the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association in 1982. Recognizing the expansion of its outreach and the increasing international relevance, the association underwent a rebranding in 2002, emerging as NANDA International.
Publications[edit | edit source]
Initially, NANDA-I took the lead in publishing a quarterly titled Nursing Diagnosis. However, in sync with its evolving identity and objectives, the publication was relaunched as the International Journal of Nursing Knowledge in 2002. This peer-reviewed journal serves as an essential resource for professionals, researchers, and educators interested in standardized nursing terminologies.
Membership and Network Groups[edit | edit source]
One of the distinguishing features of NANDA-I is its vibrant Membership Network Groups. These groups serve as a bedrock for fostering international collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional growth among its members. The association has established groups based on both geography and language, ensuring the most comprehensive engagement.
Geographical groups currently in operation include:
- Brazil
- Colombia
- Ecuador
- México
- Nigeria-Ghana
Language-based groups encompass:
- German Language Group (serving Germany, Austria, Switzerland)
- Dutch Language Group (catering to Netherlands and Belgium)
Vision and Mission[edit | edit source]
NANDA-I envisions a world where nursing professionals across the globe utilize standardized terminologies to ensure consistent, high-quality patient care. The organization's mission revolves around fostering research and promoting the adoption and integration of standardized nursing terminologies in practice, education, and research.
Significance[edit | edit source]
NANDA-I's commitment to the development and standardization of nursing terminology has immense implications for the global nursing community. By ensuring consistency in terminology, NANDA-I helps in enhancing communication among healthcare professionals, optimizing patient care, and facilitating research and knowledge dissemination.
