Description
Summary:PURPOSE:  Study explored knowledge and perception of student nurses on the use of NANDA‐I nursing diagnoses in the community setting. METHODS:  Study adopted cross‐sectional design. Convenient sampling method was used to select 290 nursing students. Data analysis was by descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS:  A majority (81.3%) of the participants considered NANDA‐I nursing diagnoses to be useful in the community. Significant association existed in the perception and level of education of the students (χ2= 8.257, d.f. = 1, p= .04). CONCLUSIONS:  Knowledge and perception of the participants about the use of NANDA‐I nursing diagnoses in the community is satisfactory. IMPLICATION FOR NURSING PRACTICE:  Use of NANDA‐I nursing diagnoses should be encouraged among community health nurses.
