背景：随着日本护理记录的日益电脑化，护理术语的标准化势在必行。虽然已经做出了一些努力，以正规化的描述，在日本的护理实践与国际护理实践分类（ICNP），缺乏有效的描述工具产生了负面影响的initiations.Purpose：开发和评估本体论的方法，可用于促进描述的护理实践在日本与ICNP。方法：利用Protege-2000开发了一个基于本体的支持系统，主要包括以下三个步骤：（1）表示日本护理实践的标准分类（护理硕士）;（2）表示日本版的ICNP;（3）设计一个基于本体的框架。一个启发式的匹配算法，自动匹配的动作标签在护理硕士与ICNP护理动作分类的八个轴的条款。进行了初步评估，以检查usefulness of the system.Results：高命中率上ICNP轴动作类型，目标和位置。评价表明，51.7 ± 5.8%（平均值± S.D.）只有一个动作类型的动作标签正确匹配，80 +/- 4%（平均值+/- S.D.）结论：使用基于框架的知识表示系统（例如，Protege-2000）是有用的，支持在日本的护理实践与ICNP的正式描述。(c)2006爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
Background: With increasing computerization of nursing records in Japan, standardization of nursing terminology is becoming imperative. Although some efforts have been made to formalize description of nursing practice in Japan with the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP), lack of effective description tools has impacted negatively on the initiatives.Purpose: To develop and evaluate an ontological approach that could be used to facilitate the description of nursing practice in Japan with the ICNP.Methodology: An ontology-based support system was developed using Protege-2000, mainly by the following three steps: (1) representing a standard classification of nursing practice (the Nursing Master) in Japan; (2) representing a Japanese version of the ICNP; (3) designing an ontology-based framework. A heuristic matching algorithm was developed to automatically match the action labels in the Nursing Master with the terms of the eight axes of the ICNP Nursing Actions Classification. A preliminary evaluation was performed to examine the usefulness of the system.Results: High hit rate was shown on the ICNP axes Action type, Target, and Location. The evaluation indicated that 51.7 +/- 5.8% (mean +/- S.D.) of the action labels with only one action type were properly matched, and that in 80 +/- 4% (mean +/- S.D.) of action labels with more than one action type, at least one valid action type was matched correctly.Conclusion: The ontology-based approach using a frame-based knowledge representation system (e.g., Protege-2000) is useful for supporting the formal description of nursing practice in Japan with the ICNP.
