Abstract
Background: Nursing Patient Classification Systems have been developed and utilized to classify patients based on their nursing needs in several countries. The literature suggests potential benefits of these systems in terms of outcomes.
Objective: To map the literature that assesses outcomes in relation to the use of Nursing Patient Classification Systems in hospital settings and to describe them.
Methods: A scoping review, based on the methodological framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley, was conducted in 2024. We searched electronic databases (CINAHL, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science), the OpenGrey database, and consulted stakeholders.
Results: From a total of 964 abstracts initially identified, 4 studies were included in the review. Different Nursing Patient Classification Systems were used to classify only adult inpatients. Outcomes assessed were satisfaction, care areas identified, benefits to the patients, job attitude, and improvement in morale across different populations such as nurses, patients, and clinical partners. No studies assessed outcomes for caregivers, pediatric patients, or hospital organizations.
Conclusion: The literature reports potential benefits related to the use of Nursing Patient Classification Systems and underlines the importance of exploring the relationship between their use and different types of outcomes. Despite this, the results highlight the limited research on this topic. To realize the potential of these systems, it is essential to understand their utility in advance. After implementation in daily practice, the evaluation of outcomes related to the use of these systems should become a standardized practice, contributing to both nursing science and quality improvement.
背景：在一些国家，护理患者分类系统已被开发并用于根据患者的护理需求对患者进行分类。文献表明这些系统在结果方面的潜在好处。目的：绘制评估与医院设置中使用护理患者分类系统相关的结果的文献，并对其进行描述。方法：基于Arksey和O'Malley开发的方法框架，于2024年进行了范围审查。我们检索了电子数据库（CINAHL、Embase、PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science）、OpenGrey数据库，并咨询了利益相关者。结果：从最初确定的964篇摘要中，有4篇研究被纳入本综述。采用不同的护理病人分类系统对成人住院病人进行分类。评估的结果包括满意度、确定的护理领域、对患者的益处、工作态度以及不同人群（如护士、患者和临床合作伙伴）士气的提高。没有研究评估护理人员、儿科患者或医院组织的结果。结论：文献报告了使用护理患者分类系统的潜在益处，并强调了探索其使用与不同类型结果之间关系的重要性。尽管如此，研究结果突出了这一主题研究的局限性。为了实现这些系统的潜力，有必要提前了解它们的效用。在日常实践中实施后，与使用这些系统相关的结果评估应成为一种标准化的做法，有助于护理科学和质量的提高。
