Scientific production of the International Classification for Nursing Practice: a bibliometric study

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the scientific production of the International Classification for Nursing Practice throughout dissertations and theses published by nurses in Brazil from 1996 to 2016. Method: A bibliometric, descriptive, quantitative documentary study, carried out from October/2015 to July/2016 on the sites of the Center of Studies and Research in Nursing (CEPEn), at the thesis and dissertation banks of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel and of the Plataforma Sucupira (Sucupira Platform). Results: There were 108 productions, 30 theses and 78 dissertations. In 2014, there was the largest number of publications (19). The Graduate Program in Nursing of the Universidade Federal da Paraíba had the highest number of productions (23). Regarding the theme, the use in clinical practice was highlighted (69), followed by the elaboration of terminology subsets (17). Conclusion: The Brazilian scientific production setting on ICNP® is expressive, evidencing this system as a tool that allows the provision of systematic care.

摘要
研究目的：本研究旨在描述1996年至2016年间巴西护理人员发表的学位论文中涉及国际护理实践分类（International Classification for Nursing Practice, ICNP®）的科研产出状况。
研究方法：本研究为文献计量学导向的描述性定量文献研究，于2015年10月至2016年7月期间，依托护理研究中心（Center of Studies and Research in Nursing, CEPEn）、高等教育人才提升协调局（Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel）学位论文库以及苏库皮拉平台（Plataforma Sucupira）开展数据检索与分析。
研究结果：本次研究共纳入108项科研产出，其中博士学位论文30篇、硕士学位论文78篇。2014年的发表数量达到峰值，共计19篇。帕拉伊巴联邦大学（Universidade Federal da Paraíba）护理研究生培养项目的科研产出数量最多，共23项。在研究主题层面，临床实践应用类研究占比最高（69项），其次为术语子集构建类研究（17项）。
研究结论：巴西围绕ICNP®开展的科研产出颇具规模，证实该分类系统可作为提供系统化护理服务的有效工具。
