Abstract
in English, Portuguese, Spanish

Objective: to discuss the paths taken by Brazilian Nursing in the development of terminological subsets of the International Classification for Nursing Practice.

Method: documentary research, carried out in master's dissertations and doctoral theses, which developed terminological subsets, available at the Bank of Doctoral Theses and Master's Dissertations of the Under-graduation Personnel Improvement Coordination. The variables were analyzed were institution, year; academic level, type of health service, methodological approach, clientele, theoretical reference, validation of terms, cross mapping, modeling of new concepts, validation of statements, method used for elaboration, term collection, finalization and dissemination.

Results: 124 doctoral theses and master's dissertations were found, 91 were excluded and 33 were included, 23 (69.70%) of which were master's dissertations, with the highest production in 2014 (n=10; 30.30%), with emphasis on the Northeast (36.36%); the 'Primary Care' scenario, with six studies (18.18%); and the predominant clientele was cancer patients. As for the methodological characteristics, in 96% of the studies, the quantitative approach was used; in 2%, a qualitative approach; and 2% associated the quantitative and qualitative approaches. As for the type of study, 60% were methodological and 24% descriptive-exploratory, with the Horta model being the most used (36%).

Conclusion: the paths are successful, yet still permeated by weaknesses in the validations and potentialities to standardize the language.

Objetivo:: discorrer sobre os caminhos percorridos pela enfermagem brasileira no desenvolvimento de subconjuntos terminológicos da Classificação Internacional para a Prática de Enfermagem.

Método:: pesquisa documental, realizada nas dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado, que desenvolveram subconjuntos terminológicos, disponíveis no Banco de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior. Foram analisadas as variáveis: instituição, ano, nível acadêmico, tipo de serviço de saúde, abordagem metodológica, clientela, referencial teórico, validação de termos, mapeamento cruzado, modelagem de novos conceitos, validação das afirmativas, método utilizado para elaboração, coleta de termos, finalização e divulgação.

Resultados:: foram encontradas 124 teses de doutorado e dissertações de mestrado, excluídas 91 e incluídas 33, sendo 23 (69,70%) dissertações de mestrado, com maior produção em 2014 (n= 10; 30,30%), com destaque para o Nordeste (36,36%); o cenário ‘Atenção Básica’, com seis estudos (18,18%) e a clientela predominante foi de pacientes oncológicos. Quanto às características metodológicas, em 96% dos estudos, empregou-se a abordagem quantitativa; em 2%, a abordagem qualitativa e 2% associaram a abordagem quantitativa e a qualitativa. Quanto ao tipo de estudo, 60% foram metodológicos e 24% descritivo-exploratórios, sendo o modelo de Horta o mais utilizado (36%).

Conclusão:: os caminhos são exitosos, contudo ainda permeados de fragilidades nas validações e nas potencialidades para uniformizar a linguagem.

Objetivo:: discurrir sobre los caminos recorridos por la Enfermería brasileña en el desarrollo de subconjuntos terminológicos de Clasificación Internacional para la Práctica de Enfermería.

Método:: investigación documental, realizada en tesis de magister y tesis de doctorado, que han desarrollado subconjunto terminológicos disponibles en el Banco de Tesis de Doctorado y Tesis de Magister de la Coordinación de Perfeccionamiento de Personal de Nivel Superior. Se analizaron las siguientes variables: institución, año, nivel académico, tipo de servicio de salud, enfoque metodológico, clientela, marco teórico, validación de términos, mapeo cruzado, modelación de nuevos conceptos, validación de afirmaciones, método utilizado para elaboración, recolección de términos, finalización y divulgación.

Resultados:: se encontraron 124 tesis de doctorado y tesis de magister, se excluyeron 91 y fueron incluidas 33, siendo 23 (69,70%) tesis de magister, con mayor producción en 2014 (n= 10; 30,30%), con prevalencia del Nordeste (36,36%); el escenario ‘Atención Primaria’, con seis estudios (18,18%) y la clientela predominante fue la correspondiente a pacientes oncológicos. En relación a las características metodológicas, en 96% de los estudios se empleó el método cuantitativo; en 2% el enfoque cualitativo y en 2% se advirtió la fusión entre los métodos cuantitativo y cualitativo. En lo atinente al tipo de estudio, 60% fueron estudios metodológicos y 24% descriptivo-exploratorios, siendo el modelo de Horta el más utilizado (36%).

Conclusión:: los caminos han sido exitosos, aunque todavía estén atravesados por déficits en las validaciones y en las potencialidades para estandarizar la terminología.
