TI  - The conceptual validity of a taxonomy of nursing interventions.
PG  - 1942-61
AB  - The purpose of this paper is to report validity evidence for the nursing 
      intervention taxonomy developed as part of the Nursing Intervention Lexicon and 
      Taxonomy (NILT) Study. Using eclectic classification methods of library science, 
      cognitive science, nursing science and computational linguistics, a taxonomy of 
      nursing interventions consisting of seven categories was developed. These 
      categories which incorporate care as a central concept are described and defined, 
      and prototypical examples of each category are presented. Brinberg & McGrath's 
      validity schema provides the framework within which evidence for validity as 
      value, validity as correspondence and validity as generalizability were examined. 
      Comparison of the NILT categories with previously published categorizations of 
      nursing functions and interventions provides strong support for the validity of 
      this classification. Additionally, comparison of the NILT categories with two 
      internationally derived categorizations of nursing functions supports the 
      robustness or generalizability of the NILT classification.
