Introduction Nursing diagnosis classification systems have been developed to help nurses identify problems and patient needs. However, the question of how classification systems have adopted the concept of health has been given little attention. Aim The aim was to explore and analyse which perspectives on health are incorporated into the NANDA ‐I‐based care plans of individuals with bipolar disorder. Methods A document analysis was used to systematically review and analyse care plans based on nursing diagnosis classification system. Thematic analysis was used as an analytic tool. Findings: The results are presented in three themes: (i) health as strengths; (ii) health as satisfaction; and (iii) health as behaviour and functionality. Discussion We discuss how health is deeply embedded in nursing diagnosis classification system‐based care plans. The care plans correspond to the holistic perspective, as they acknowledge the existence of health even during illness. Further, health is viewed as nonstatic and discussed from the perspective of person‐centred care.
