The nurse uses clinical reasoning to identify and prioritize nursing diagnoses – the human responses to actual or potential health problems (Ackley et al. 2017). The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association – International (NANDA-I) sets the standardized nursing diagnostic terminology “to ensure patient safety through evidence-based care, thereby improving the health care of all people” (NANDA International, 2021, para. 4). Diagnoses may be problem focused, a risk, health promoting, a syndrome, or a possibility. Nursing diagnosis can be independently treated by the nurse (Ackley et al., 2017). In Box 2.5, we consider some sample NANDA diagnoses related to human responses to actual or potential problems connected to nutrition.

The Standardized Language Systems (SLP) used in the diagnosis, interventions and nursing outcomes stages offer a conceptual framework that facilitates the documentation of the NP and aids in clinical reasoning and decision-making about patient care. SLPs are considered a prerequisite for the construction of EHR, enabling the retrieval of information for research, statistical analysis, big data, among others. The SLP most used by Brazilian nurses are NANDA International (NANDA-I) for the nursing diagnoses, Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) and ICNP (De Oliveira & Peres, 2021; Rabelo-Silva et al., 2017). A successful example in a hospital management system, Management Application for University Hospitals (AGHU), with a focus on the patient, was adopted as a standard for all federal university hospitals affiliated to the Brazilian Company of Hospital Services (Ebserh), a state company linked to the Ministry of Education (MEC). The application aims to support the standardization of care and administrative practices in hospitals and to allow the creation of national indicators in order to facilitate the creation of common improvement programs for all these units (Ministério da Educação, 2020).

Increasing attention is also being paid to the topic of spirituality within the nursing profession (Cullen, 2015; McSherry & Jamieson, 2011). There are several longstanding nursing diagnostic indicators related to spirituality, for example, classified by NANDA International (Nanda-I) (Herdman & Kamitsuru, 2014). More recently the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in the United Kingdom made recommendations for the nurses’ role in this area (RCN, 2011). However, what is not always clear from these discussions is how these interdisciplinary roles interface with one another. The recent Lancet discussions for example made no reference to the chaplain’s role (Duff & Buckingham, 2015; Olivier et al., 2015; Tomkins et al., 2015). Within nursing practice, while referral to chaplains is essential to spiritual care provision, the recommendation of nurses’ spiritual assessment (RCN, 2011) is a role contested by chaplains who deem this their specialist field (O’Donovan, 2011; Shields, Kestenbaum, & Dunn, 2014). While the impetus to support patients and families’ spiritual needs is reassuring, this blurring of role boundaries has the potential to induce conflict in the healthcare area, perhaps eroding an already depleted service. We are at a point where a clear understanding of healthcare roles in the provision of healthcare would be very useful to the development of spiritual care for the future, especially in the context of changing demographics and increased impetus for involvement of nonchaplains in spiritual care matters. To this end, this article reports on a literature review exploring the chaplain’s role in healthcare.

The documents under analysis were selected according to their relevance to the research objective, their authenticity and reliability (Cellard, 2012). Supported by knowledge and standardized language, we selected four SLS documents issued by leading knowledge organizations in nursing that emerge from clinical practice and integrate nursing care (Furuya et al., 2011): International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP®); NANDA International Inc. (NANDA-I); Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC); and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC).
