title: Cues for nursing diagnosis of ineffective self-management of fluid and dietary restrictions in dialysis therapy in Japan.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We aimed to identify the cues of expert nurses and validate the cue information on the defining characteristics for a nursing diagnosis of ineffective self-management of fluid and dietary restrictions in dialysis therapy in Japan.
  
  
  METHODS
  We used qualitative interviews and two-round Delphi studies.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The expert nurses regarded four signs of unmaintained fluid and dietary restrictions as major defining characteristics and nine other cues as minor defining characteristics.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Expert nurses in dialysis therapy regard symptoms of health behavior as major cues for nursing diagnosis of ineffective self-management of fluid and dietary restrictions in dialysis therapy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Verification of the clinical validity and development of a specific, clinically useful database on nursing diagnoses are required.
