To propose a new NANDA diagnosis, self-neglect.
Research studies and literature published from a variety of disciplines including nursing as well as primary research.
This diagnosis can be used to describe a constellation of self-care problems of varying severity and impact on the health and well-being of people who self-neglect. Included are two subtypes of self-neglect based on the degree of intentionality. Clarification of self-neglect is long overdue because self-neglect presents conceptual, identification, and intervention problems for nurses, healthcare workers, and for medicolegal systems across settings and in many countries.
The proposed diagnosis, self-neglect, fills a gap in current standardized terminology. This diagnosis will contribute significantly to nurses leading the way in the explication of an interdisciplinary and international health concern. PRACTICE AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Developing self-neglect as a recognized nursing label is vital to clinicians and policy makers within and across countries. Appreciating less serious/non-life-threatening presentations will give nurses a care perspective to improve the health and well-being of those in earlier stages of self-neglect. Definitions for this phenomenon will contribute to care planning and interventions, leading to consistency in practice and research.
提出一项新的北美护理诊断协会（NANDA）诊断——自我忽视。
来自包括护理以及基础研究在内的多个学科发表的研究和文献。
该诊断可用于描述一系列自我护理问题，这些问题严重程度各异，且对自我忽视者的健康和幸福产生影响。其中包括基于故意程度的两种自我忽视亚型。对自我忽视的明确早就该进行了，因为自我忽视给护士、医护人员以及许多国家不同环境下的法医学系统带来了概念、识别和干预方面的问题。
提议的诊断“自我忽视”填补了当前标准化术语中的一个空白。这一诊断将极大地有助于护士在阐释一个跨学科的国际健康问题方面发挥引领作用。
将自我忽视发展为一个得到认可的护理标签，对各国国内及跨国的临床医生和政策制定者而言至关重要。认识到不太严重/非危及生命的表现，将使护士能够从护理角度改善处于自我忽视早期阶段者的健康和幸福。这一现象的定义将有助于护理计划和干预，从而使实践和研究保持一致。
