    Abstract:
    This study explored nursing care topics for patients with the coronavirus disease 2019 admitted to the wards and intensive care units using International Classification for Nursing Practice-based nursing narratives. A total of 256630 nursing statements from 555 adult patients admitted from December 2019 to June 2022 were extracted from the clinical data warehouse. The International Classification for Nursing Practice concepts mapped to 301 unique nursing statements that accounted for the top 90% of all cumulative nursing narratives were used for analysis. The standardized number of nursing statements for each concept was calculated according to the types of nursing care and compared between the two groups. The most documented topics were related to infection; physical symptoms such as sputum, cough, dyspnea, and shivering; and vital signs including blood oxygen saturation and body temperature. Nurses in the intensive care units frequently documented concepts related to the directly monitored and assessed physical signs such as consciousness, pupil reflex, and skin integrity, whereas nurses in wards documented more concepts related to symptoms patients complained. This study showed that the International Classification for Nursing Practice-based nursing records can be used as source of information to identify nursing care for patients with coronavirus disease 19.
