Aim: In our research we wanted to propose a holistic model of palliative care from the perspective of nurses. Additionally, we compared the presence of specific aspects of palliative care (psychological, physical, social and spiritual) in hospitals and the community/home environment. Design: A quantitative cross-sectional study was used. Methods: The sample consisted of 127 nurses (92 hospital nurses, 35 community nurses). The proposed model was tested using a specific method of structural equation modeling (SEM) known as partial least squares (PLS). Results: Our research confirmed that physical aspects are influenced both...

Aim: To verify, based on clinical validation whether NANDA-I identified defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis Acute Pain (00132) actually occurred in patients hospitalised in Intensive Care Units in Slovakia and the Czech Republic by means of the Clinical Diagnostic Validity Model. Design: Clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis can be verified if defining characteristics created on the basis of conceptual analysis and validation by experts are confirmed by clinical data. Methods: We selected Fehring's Clinical Diagnostic Validity Model as the method of clinical validation. Results: According to the values...
