Background: The postoperative period is the recovery time after surgery and is defined as an individual process whose purpose is to return the person to the state of normality and integrity that they had prior to surgery.
Aim: Demonstrate the modification of the level of health of people in the early postoperative period through the development and validation of the Health Index Instrument, which is built from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) standardized language.
Design: The design used a mixed method, which involved a first phase of instrument development and a second phase of instrument validation.
Objective: Define the modes of procedure of the Deductive Care Methodology (DCM) in the generation of knowledge about person's health care.
Methodology: Design and test of the DCM modes based on three phases: mapping of the DCM, generation of models from this methodology and testing of the models through studies in a clinical context.
Results: The DCM presents five levels of abstraction with three modes broken down to 16 types.
In parallel with the development and design of different technological advances, competencies in nursing have advanced. With the development of robotics, it is expected that nursing robotic competencies will also increase. The aim of this study is to review the competencies in nursing robotics.

The adaptation of the lifestyle in relation to activity, sleep and social relationships is key to facing these periods of confinement. The aim is to validate a series of care recommendations aimed at being able to maintain an active and healthy confinement, which serves to prepare the population for future health crises.

Design: A cross-sectional survey including a longitudinal component.
Methods: Content validity ratio (CVR) was calculated by interrater agreement of a group of 11 experts in two rounds.
The aim of this study is to analyze the usability by nurses of the Knowledge-Based System "Diagnostics care for COVID-19." A convenience sample of 16 nurses was selected, among hospital workers and external experts. The group was divided into three subgroups intentionally to obtain different usability perspectives.

Methods: Design and validation of a care plans manual for people hospitalized by COVID-19.
Taxonomic triangulation is a data mining technique for the management of care knowledge. This technique uses standardized languages, such as North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International, Nursing Outcomes Classification, and Nursing Interventions Classification, as well as logic. Its purpose is to find patterns in the data and identify care diagnoses.

Design: Systematic scoping review through nursing taxonomies.
Methods: The first phase identified nursing diagnostic taxonomies by systematic review.
Purpose: To identify the nursing care problems related to the clinical process of disease by COVID-19.
Method: The study applied the taxonomic triangulation technique on a clinical management guide to coronavirus disease, COVID-19, from the World Health Organization. The technique is divided into the phases: extraction of knowledge in natural language about assessment, planning and intervention, translation into standard language NOC and NIC, linking to NANDA-I diagnoses, triangulation looking for diagnostic matches in the three sets, and, finally, validation by a panel of experts from a hospital and a university.
The concern for aging, chronic illness, and dependence is relevant in today's society. The Nursing discipline is responsible for its approach to care. Furthermore, this profession must develop technologies to assist.

Vaccination is an act of care of high clinical complexity, which can be learned and trained, so that decision-making in vaccination requires elements of judgment that act logically in a cascade. The creation of algorithms and their implementation in computer systems will identify susceptible people more quickly and improve the competence in the administration of vaccines.

Logic allows to formalize the deductive study of sorge knowledge in order to determine what are the dimensions of care. These dimensions will be the guiding framework in the analysis of big data contained in health information systems.

Constructing an ontology is a process that requires four elements: knowledge object, subject that knows, knowledge operation and result. These elements configure theframework to generate ontologies that can be used in Artificial Intelligence systems for care.

It is necessary to work for all the knowledge available to be placed at the service of patients and society, generating much more efficient services and opening to a redesign where nurses lead in new services supported on the strategy of effective care. Additionally, it is hoped that patients assume a responsibility and nurses another: that of accompanying patients during their disease process to become for them a support in their self-care efforts.
