Purpose The study aims to validate nursing outcomes from the Nursing Outcomes Classification ( NOC ) related to the nursing diagnosis of impaired tissue integrity (00044) in adults with pressure ulcer ( PU ). Methods It was a consensus validation study using the focus group technique. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, and NOCs that obtained 100% consensus were considered validated. Findings Of the 16 NOCs evaluated, nine were validated. Conclusions The NOCs validated may identify the effectiveness, impact, and quality of interventions, making it possible to maintain or change the care planning of PU patients. Implications for Nursing Practice This work may serve to contribute to the future development of NOC , making it possible to evaluate the outcomes of PU patients in terms of the interventions performed in nursing practice.
