title: [Breathing-related nursing care problems--a descriptive study].
abstract: Research into nursing problems related to breathing that can occur by pulmonary patients and their relationship with literature on Nursing Diagnoses (further referred to as diagnoses) on this subject has been done on two nursing wards. Interviews have been held with eleven nurses working in direct patient care. From the acquired data twelve problems with their signs and symptoms as well as the possible etiology were found, each showing one or more similarities with diagnoses from the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA). Similarities and differences between the NANDA diagnoses and the acquired data have been analysed.
