Abstract

PURPOSE
To validate the content of the NANDA-I diagnosis “death anxiety” (00147).

METHODS
Descriptive study using the Fehring model with 202 Spanish nurses who were expert in end-of-life care to explore the adequacy of the components of the NANDA-I diagnosis “death anxiety” (00147) in the Spanish edition.

FINDINGS
None of the diagnosis definitions were considered as representative. Furthermore, 5 of the 56 defining characteristics and 5 of the 26 related factors were validated as major.

CONCLUSIONS
In general, the components of the diagnosis “death anxiety” (00147) in the Spanish edition are not representative according to experts.

IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE
The results support the need to either exclude the diagnosis from the taxonomy or adjust its content.
