Abstract Submissions for the 2025 Conference Are Under Review!

The abstracts are undergoing a meticulous review process overseen by an international panel of experts. Under the leadership of Dr. Sílvia Caldeira, the Research Committee has identified these reviewers, ensuring each abstract is reviewed by individuals with relevant expertise. All abstracts will be distributed accordingly.

Each abstract will be subject to a blinded review by two reviewers to ensure impartiality. If there is a notable discrepancy in their evaluations, a third reviewer will be called upon to make the final decision. This rigorous process ensures that the highest standards of quality and relevance are maintained.

Reviewers will have six weeks to complete their evaluations, after which the Research Director will compile and report the findings to the 2025 Scientific Committee. This committee will then integrate the selected abstracts into the conference schedule.

We anticipate notifying all submitters of their results by the end of January 2025. 

Transformative Nursing: Knowledge in Motion, Synergy in Practice

The 2025 NANDA-I Conference,  in conjunction with The Institute of Health Sciences at Universidade Católica Portuguesa (Lisbon) and Boston College (USA), will be hosted in Lisbon, Portugal.  The theme of the conference is Transformative nursing: Knowledge in motion, synergy in practice. Our invited keynote speakers have been asked to address themes including: the transformative nature of nursing knowledge, and its importance in advancing nursing practice to serve all people; is there room for nursing knowledge in the future of interdisciplinary care? These issues are not country-specific; they are global in nature. They are not solely theoretical; they have real-life, practical implications. And the possibilities that these speakers have the ability to present include pathways that can refocus our profession, build community around our discipline and the need for our unique voice and holistic focus, and can provide clinicians with tools and insights to ensure we are there to serve those who need a nurse, not merely a helper to other professions.

Conference Objectives

  1. Promote international collaboration and synergy in research and implementation projects using NANDA-I nursing diagnoses at regional and national levels.
  2. Discuss the evidence-based implications for standardized nursing language in transforming education, practice, knowledge, and policy development for nurses.
  3. Listen to clinicians' experiences to understand the relationship between nursing language in theory and nursing language in practice.
  4. Explore using data to achieve nursing excellence in education, practice, knowledge, and policy.
  5. Develop opportunities and challenges for incorporating standardized nursing language into big data platforms.
  6. Describe current systems for data collection, storage, retrieval, and its use in healthcare settings.
