The Investigation of the NANDA Nursing Diagnosis Determined by the Students oit Neurological Patient Objective: This study, which was carried out descriptively, intended to determine the nursing diagnose, which was established by NANDA based on Gordon's Functioned Health Patterns and that was detected on the patients whose responsibilities undertaken by the students practicing in neurology clinic and whether their initiatives and the results obtained related to that, were appropriate. Materials and Methods: A total of 134 students, who were practicing in neurology clinic between the dates of 07 November 2002 and 17 January 2003 within the scope of internal medicine nursing course practice, comprised the sampling of the research. Data were collected by studying a descriptive form containing students' sociodemegrophic characteristics and 134 nursing processes prepared by the students Nursing processes were evaluated according to PES criteria by making use of a diagnose list, which included 156 diagnoses of NANDA that were handed out to students in advance and the number and percentage distributions were provided. Findings: Of the students, 23.]% are working as nurses and 45.1% as staff nurses. The diagnoses of 49.9% of patients cared by students through nursing process are Middle Cerebral Artery Infarct. As a result of the evaluation of study findings it was observed that a total of 46 nursing diagnose were determined. Among these diagnoses the most often detected 5 diagnoses are as follows; 64.9% risk of infection, 49.2% lack of personal care, 39.5% risk of damage to the integrity of skin, 24.6% impaired physical mobility, and 21.6 % insomnia. Subsequent phases of the process, which were related to diagnoses determined by the students, were assessed separately and compared with the findings of other studies. Results: As a result of the findings obtained from research, it is thought that, in order to have nursing diagnoses and initiatives are properly and widely used, to give more emphasis to nursing diagnose in nursing training programs and to prepare contents of the course in the direction of nursing process, would be effective.
