NANDA Diagnosis Submission: Protocol for Submission or Revisions of Diagnoses to NANDA
Proposed diagnoses and revisions of diagnoses undergo a systematic review to determine consistency with the established criteria for a nursing diagnosis. All
submissions are subsequently assigned a level of evidence reflecting the level of development and validation.
Diagnoses may be submitted at various levels of development (e.g., label and definition; label, definition, defining characteristics or risk factors, related factors). Any submission beyond that of
label and definition must include an integrative review of the relevant nursing literature. If no nursing literature is available, please indicate this in the literature review. Related research from
other disciplines is also appropriate to include. NANDA Guidelines for Nursing Diagnosis
Submission are available from the NANDA office and are also accessible on NLINKS Web
page under "diagnostic review" (http://www.nlinks.org). Articles used for the submission are to
be catalogued on a Literature Review Form (see submission/review packet).
A 3 1/2" disk and a printed copy of all diagnoses are to be submitted in the format provided in the packet. The submitter is
asked to compare his/her submission with all current related NANDA diagnoses (see example in submission/review packet).
On receipt, the diagnosis will be assigned to a primary reviewer from the Diagnosis Review Committee (DRC). This person
will work with you as the DRC reviews your submission. Once the diagnosis is formally reviewed by DRC, it will be sent to
nursing specialty group experts and the NANDA International Committee for comment. Recommendations will be shared
with you. Diagnoses will then be discussed at forums at the next NANDA biennial conference in order to invite extended
member input. Recommendations from the forums will be reviewed and the diagnoses forwarded to the NANDA Board of Directors. All diagnoses accepted at the 2.1 level of development will be included in the next edition of NANDA Nursing
Diagnoses: Definitions & Classification.
