Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Illness Experiences
(2021) Alameda-Cuesta, Almudena; Pazos-Garciandía, Álvaro; Oter-Quintana, Cristina; Losa-Iglesias, Marta Elena
Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis, and multiple chemical sensitivity can be considered contested illnesses. The questioning of the status of these conditions as real diseases reduces feelings of legitimacy in those affected. The purpose of this study was to analyze subjectivity construction processes in people with these diseases. A qualitative exploratory study was conducted from the perspective of hermeneutic phenomenology and ethnosociology. We used life stories for compiling data (13 informants were interviewed face-to-face), and sociological discourse analysis was developed. Three main categories were identified: (a) self and grieving; (b) images and practices relating to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis, and multiple chemical sensitivity; and (c) relationships with health professionals. This study shows that daily experiences of people living with these diseases are marked by stigmatization processes. The ultimate purpose of nursing care for people with these conditions should be to reduce their vulnerability and exclusion.
NANDA-I and NOC Linkages for Six Psychosocial Nursing Diagnoses: A Validation Study
(Taylor & Francis, 2024-10-04) Alameda-Cuesta, Almudena; Oter-Quintana, Cristina; Lizcano-Álvarez, Ángel; Brito-Brito, Pedro Ruymán; Talavera-Sáez, Ana; Cid-Expósito, María-Gema
The aim of this study was to validate the diagnostic content and the NANDA-I and NOC linkages for six psychosocial nursing diagnoses. This multicentre, descriptive, cross-sectional validation study followed Fehring’s model. Expert nurses in nursing methodology and standardised nursing languages in Spain participated, with expertise criteria based on academic level and clinical, teaching, and research experience in the fields of nursing methodology and standardised nursing languages. This study adhered to the STROBE guidelines for cross-sectional studies. Eighty-seven professionals participated in the diagnostic content validation phase, and 57 in the NANDA-I and NOC linkages validation phase. The content validity indices of the six diagnoses ranged from 0.74 to 0.84, all considered valid. All 84 proposed defining characteristics were valid, with 42 scoring ≥0.8. Thirty-two linkages between diagnoses and NOC outcomes were proposed, all valid, with mean scores between 0.73 and 0.98. Each diagnosis was linked to 5–6 NOC outcomes, comprising 26 main outcomes and 6 supplementary outcomes. Overall coverage rates for each diagnosis ranged from 68.42% to 100%. All linkages between defining characteristics and NOC outcome indicators were validated. The six selected psychosocial diagnoses, their defining characteristics, and the proposed linkages between diagnoses and outcomes have been validated. The validation of linkages between NOC indicators and nearly all major defining characteristics of these six psychosocial diagnoses will make it possible to enhance diagnostic accuracy and enable continuous assessment of the effects of nursing interventions on the clinical progression of these diagnoses.
