Summary: | This article reports on a study on nurses' perception of power regarding their clinical role before and after implementation of a nursing diagnosis classification. Sixty clinical nurses (average age = 37.2 ± 7.0 years) from a Brazilian teaching hospital answered the Power as Knowing Participation in Change Tool (PKPCT) before and after the implementation of a diagnosis classification. PKPCT has four domains and provides total and partial scores. Reliability coefficients ranged from 0.88 to 0.98. Total scores were not statistically different between assessments (p=0.21), although scores in the "Involvement in Creating Change" domain were higher in the second assessment (p=0.04). Further studies providing sound evidence regarding the impact of nursing classification systems on nurses' power perception are needed to guide decisions on teaching and clinical practice.Este artículo relata un estudio sobre la percepción de poder clínico de las enfermeras, antes y después de la implementación de una clasificación de diagnósticos de enfermería. Sesenta enfermeras (edad promedio = 37,2±7 años), de un hospital brasileño de enseñanza, respondieron el instrumento Power as Knowing Participation in Change Tool, antes y después de la implementación de una clasificación de diagnósticos. Ese instrumento tiene 4 dominios y provee puntajes parciales y totales. Los coeficientes de confiabilidad del instrumento fueron de 0,88 la 0,98. Los puntajes totales no fueron estadísticamente diferentes entre las evaluaciones (p=0,21), sin embargo los puntajes de "Participación en la Creación de Cambios" fueron más altos después de la implementación de la clasificación (p=0,04). El impacto del uso de sistemas de clasificación de enfermería en la percepción de las enfermeras sobre su poder clínico todavía requiere estudios que entreguen evidencias útiles para guiar decisiones en la enseñanza y en la clínica.Este artigo relata estudo sobre a percepção de poder clínico de enfermeiras, antes e após a implementação de uma classificação de diagnósticos de enfermagem.
