Worldwide modernization effects also affect providing of the quality of nursing care with the use of new procedures. The development and use of standard terminology through the mediation of classification systems in nursing belongs to principal features of the nursing profession in the 21st century. The purpose of its use is accurate delimitation and expression of activities performed by nurses in relation to patient needs to achieve certain results. In the present contribution, we considered problems of taking care of oncological patients, in which conflict in decisions occurred in association with the health care. We emphasize the priority role of nurses in solving the nursing diagnosis Conflict in decisions (to be specified) 00083 in terms of the assistance provided for patients and their families during the decision process by forming a mutual logical decision and not by a propagation of a certain decision. The fact is of importance that the nurses should be capable of empathy towards the patient topical condition and to work by the nursing process methods providing the procedure established. The methods used were the non-structured interview, experiment and contents analysis of documents. The methods of mathematical statistics were as follows: the Student t-test - for the verification of the selected group of the classification system of nursing activities at the NIC (Nursing Interventions Classification) level for two independent sample groups and at the NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification) level we compared the results of respondents with the help of the Student t-test for two dependent sample groups. The research was implemented between 2007 and 2009 in the Faculty Hospital in Nitra and in the Saint Svorada Zobor Specialized Hospital in Nitra. The results of the research demonstrate positive effects of the use of selected groups of classification systems of nursing in the process of making decisions by oncological patients. The comparison between the experimental and control groups demonstrated significant differences in nursing activities performed in the selected group of the NIC classification system. In comparison of values of parameters in the selected NOC groups, there are significant differences between input and output measurements in terms of making decisions by patients and achieving the target. Classification systems of nursing can be considered positively in the management of patients with the nursing diagnosis conflict in decision (to be specified).
