Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the approach of spirituality in NANDA-I taxonomies, based on the elements that characterize this phenomenon. METHODS: This study was based on concepts that are usually adopted in the literature for defining spirituality and on the analysis of the NANDA-I taxonomies from I to III. FINDINGS: Spirituality is included in all taxonomies but all three are missing some attributes to guarantee the completeness of this dimension for nursing diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Taxonomy III makes different approaches to spirituality and some inconsistencies. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Contribute to the development and review of the new proposal for taxonomy.
