Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The objective of this paper was to identify and report the terminologies of NANDA-I diagnoses,  NOC outcomes, NIC interventions, and NNN linkages that have been used for nursing homes residents with high frequency only for NH residents in Korea.

The study is based on survey completion and the results have been analyzed using the SPSS. The analysis is interesting and is complete from the methodological point of view.

I consider that the authors should stress in the paper (Conclusions) the importance of their findings and where and how these findings could be utilized.

 I recommend the paper to be published.

Reviewer 2 Report

Thank you very much for allowing me to review this manuscript. The research conducted is very interesting and highlights the NANDA, NIC and NOC diagnoses used in nursing homes by nurses.
As improvements to publish this work it is recommended
1. Indicate in the abstract data on the residents.
2.    Explain how the NNN association was made. 3.
3. How was the selection of the resident and what did the selection procedure consist of?
4.    To emphasize the practical implications in the conclusions.

Reviewer 3 Report

Dear Authors,

Thank you very much for submitting the article for review. The work concerns the most commonly used tools for nursing diagnosis.
Unfortunately, the work is based on a very small group of respondents included in the survey.
The results presented are presented as percentages only. Only simple statistical analysis was used in the methodology.
the work is not innovative, it does not bring anything new in the knowledge of nursing and the entire health protection system.

Reviewer 4 Report

The work carried out is very interesting because it shows the application of the specific professional language for nurses and with them the independent activity of the nurse for the diagnosis and potential or possible risk problems.

In the introduction, in my concept there are ideas that should be clarified or supported by specific bibliography that supports them, for example, when it is said that the nursing process is a problem-solving method. There is a similarity between the nursing process, the problem-solving method, and the scientific method, but each has application phases that have different conceptualizations and constructs. Each provides professional judgment: clinical, management or research. The authors should briefly provide the theoretical framework that supports their approach and that of the original Taxonomies and classifications, NANDA, NIC, NOC.

Methodologically if there are adaptations of the taxonomies to Korea. How they were carried out and how they were validated

When it is named that the observers received training or information and formation. How was inter-observer variability measured? It is important to describe what degree of prior consensus they had for the recovery of the writings in the patients' medical records.

It would be convenient to know which was the instrument in which the information was valued and its possible publication with the variables that were observed

Explain the random process in more detail

As an ethical concern, I am concerned that financial incentives have been offered to recruit participants. I may have misunderstood?

To Whom It May Concern:

The work is based on a very small group of respondents included in the survey.

Thank you for your comment. We agreed your opinion and described this point in the limitation section. 

“Additionally, the number of subjects (RNs) and residents selected by the RNs included in this study is small to reflect whole NH residents. In future studies, it is necessary to secure a sufficient data-collection period and increase the number of nursing records of residents reviewed per RN.”

the work is not innovative, it does not bring anything new in the knowledge of nursing and the entire health protection system.

I  totally agree with your opinion. I hope you understand our results based on our explanation.

 

We integrated NNN association linkages by combining NIC (year) and NOC (year) taxonomies, in terms of the analogous domains and classes. We started with the NANDA-1 as an outline followed by the NIC and NOC. The whole process is parallel to the nursing process. Thus, it can be presented only as percentages.

Thank you for your comment. The unclear sentences were revised.

“The nursing process is a systematic method that allows RNs to effectively care for patients using problem solving and critical thinking [2]. The aim of the nursing process is identifying, diagnosing, and treating actual or potential human responses to disease [3]. The nursing process helps nurses make professional judgments in terms of clinical and problem-solving methods and nursing management [2,3].”

p.1 

28-33

The authors should briefly provide the theoretical framework that supports their approach and that of the original Taxonomies and classifications, NANDA, NIC, NOC.

Thank you for your comment. We described the point. “The conceptual framework of this study is the Structure-Process-Outcome (SPO) model developed by Unruh and Wan [16] for evaluating the quality of long-term care facilities. NANDA is classified in the structure, NIC is equivalent to the process, and NOC belongs to the outcome.”

p.2 82-85

Methodologically if there are adaptations of the taxonomies to Korea. How they were carried out and how they were validated. 

Thank you for your comment. In Korea, studies have been conducted on what nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes are used and how they align in various settings such as military hospitals, surgical nursing units, home healthcare settings, and obstetric department nursing units, but they are not actually applied in clinical practice. Continuously, research should be conducted and verified and applied to clinical practice.

When it is named that the observers received training or information and formation. How was inter-observer variability measured? It is important to describe what degree of prior consensus they had for the recovery of the writings in the patients' medical records.

Thank you for your comment. We described the process of subject (RN) training and inter-observer variability. 

“We explained the definition, purpose, and brief history of nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions using a booklet and how we developed questionnaires before providing the survey so RNs had no difficulty filling out the questionnaire..”

“For the interrater reliability of the data, two RNs independently checked nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions on the questionnaire. If they chose different nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions, they were unified into one after the two RNs discussed their findings. This process secured the reliability between the observers.”

It would be convenient to know which was the instrument in which the information was valued and its possible publication with the variables that were observed

Thank you for your comment. In this study, simply a list of nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes was presented and selected among the RNs. This is the instrument. The presented list selected by the RNs is presented in Tables 2 and 3. 

 

Explain the random process in more detail

“We randomly selected 140 NHs (20% of total NHs) using the random function of the Excel program and contacted NHs with RNs listed on the Korean Long-Term Care homepage operated by the Korean National Health Insurance Corporation [17].”

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. 

It is not used to recruit the participants. We mentioned that we would offer financial incentives, but the incentive was provided only after they completed the surveys.
