Abstract(s)

Purpose: Cultural adaptation and psychometric properties assessment of the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) outcome “Cognition” in a sample of Portuguese adults with mental illness. Methods: Methodological study. Findings: The final European Portuguese version of the NOC outcome “Cognition”, consisting of 13 items, showed good psychometric properties. An exploratory factor analysis was performed from which only one factor was established. Conclusions: The European Portuguese version of the NOC outcome “Cognition” seems to gather very satisfactory psychometric properties for assessing cognition in the Portuguese population. Implications for Nursing Practice: This study contributed to advance the nursing body of knowledge and to better assess cognition in a clinical context.
