Topical formulation containing chitosan-chamomile microparticles in cutaneous wound healing in rats.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of a topical formulation containing chitosan-chamomile microparticles in cutaneous healing in rats. Male Wistar rats (n=57) were randomly distributed into three groups: treatment; vehicle; and control. Evaluations were performed on days 2, 7 and 14 after the surgical procedure using skin lesion photography, and histological and biochemical analyses.

Correspondence Between NANDA International Nursing Diagnoses and Outcomes as Proposed by the Nursing Outcomes Classification.

Unlabelled: The accurate identification of the nursing diagnoses and the corresponding measurement of their indicators will depend on the elements in the standardized language systems.

Objective: To analyze the correspondence between elements of four NANDA-I nursing diagnoses and outcomes suggested by the nursing outcomes classification (NOC) for the resolution of these diagnoses.

Method: A methodological study consisting of cross-mapping was performed in the first stage between definitions, defining characteristics (DCs), and related factors (RFs) of impaired oral mucous membrane, impaired tissue integrity, spiritual distress, and delayed surgical recovery and outcome definitions and indicators to measure results of diagnoses resolution and an analysis of its relevance by experts in the second stage.

Concept Analysis and Content Validation of Risk of Injury to the Urinary Tract: Nursing Diagnosis.

Purpose: To elaborate, propose, and validate risk for urinary tract injury as a nursing diagnosis.

Methods: Methodology was divided into three phases: analysis of the concept of urinary tract injury, elaboration of the diagnosis, and validation by a group of specialists.

Findings: Diagnosis label, definition, and inclusion in taxonomy were validated.
