The Post-Graduate Program in Nursing – Federal University of Paraiba (PPGENF-UFPB) ICNP® R&D Centre is located in the northeastern region of Brasil. The Centre’s mission is to support the continuous development of ICNP®, to promote the use of ICNP® in nursing education and clinical practice, and to collaborate with ICN and the other ICNP® R&D Centres to strengthen and broaden ICNP® as a reference terminology to be used worldwide. The Centre’s objectives are to develop and validate terms that reflect nursing practice and to submit new terms for suggestions for adaptation/adjustment of existing terms or definitions, expressed in a culturally relevant way. Anticipated outcomes include construction of a nursing essential data bank for nursing practice and the construction of ICNP® catalogues.
