Longing: A Patient and Caregiver Focused Clinical Diagnostic Validity (CDV) Study.

PURPOSE: To gather data from patients and caregivers about their personal experiences with longing.

METHODS: Using Fehring's Clinical Diagnostic Validity model, patients and caregivers were surveyed for their experiences with longing. The survey was developed based on two previous research projects (a content analysis and survey of expert nurses). Approval for the study was received from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Institutional Review Board.

FINDINGS: None of the 84 attributes met major criteria (weighted ratios ≥ 0.8), but 19 met minor (weighted ratios of 0.60-0.79) across patients, caregivers, and combined scores. The proposed definition was supported by the respondents.

CONCLUSIONS: The phenomenon of longing may exist.

IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: There is evidence justifying the submission to NANDA-I for a new nursing diagnosis for longing.
