Abstract

Objective: identify the elements of nursing process (nurse diagnoses, NOC nursing outcomes, NIC nursing interventions) related to vaccine administration in order to develop a clinical guideline which also facilitates the use of computerized records.
Method: bibliographic search in databases in Spanish, with key words: process & attention & nurse & vaccine; attention & nursing & vaccine; vaccination & NIC & NOC, or NIC & NOC & care plan & vaccination or care plan & vaccination. Elaboration of a list of possible nursing diagnoses using the NANDA classification, selection of outcome criteria (NOC) and associated nursing interventions (NIC). Elaboration of a table template grouping NANDA diagnoses with outcome criteria (NOC) and nursing interventions (NIC).
Results: when the attitude of the user is positive towards the act of vaccination, care plans for this process may be grouped under “Disposition/Readiness” to improve the state of immunization (00186). Using the diagnoses as the start point, and for each of these diagnoses, outcome criteria (NOC) and the pertinent nursing interventions (NIC) will be developed.
Conclusions: the utilisation of standardised care plans when assessing diagnoses, outcomes and nursing interventions make it possible for the professional to have a general vision of the care to be given to each user, facilitating focalisation and enhancing individualisation by taking into account the idiosyncrasy of each individual.
