Abstract

The purpose of this study was to systematize nursing terminology in scientific terms, by describing how nurses expressed and described their own practice in child nursing.<br>The subjects comprised 28 nurses who work in the hospital pediatric ward. Each nurse was asked to choose a patient of the day, and to describe the items of her nursing activities. She was then asked to report her activities during the workday. The items covered were divided by the researchers into “label of the activity,” “reason for performing the activity,” “aim of the activity,” “actual nursing procedure for the activity,” “label of simultaneous activity,” “aim of simultaneous activity” and “actual procedure for simultaneous activity.” The data gained through this process were analyzed to determine the nature of each of the items and the relationships between them.<br>Results were as follows: 1) There were 34 labels of the activity and 184 activity items in child nursing intervention, of which 77 items had accompanying labels of simultaneous activity. 2) In the relationship between “label of the activity” and “actual nursing procedure for the activity,” approximately a quarter of the former did not accord with the latter, most of the labels of activity expressing only a portion of the “actual nursing procedure for the activity.” 3) The labels of activity relating to support of the mother-child relationship, support of child development and family support comprised 21% of the characteristics of total child nursing intervention terms.
