Implementation of the standardized classification system Alliance 3N to nursing practice has belonged among indispensable steps leading to higher quality care for individuals, families or communities.
The objective of the paper is to bring summary of found findings regarding efficiency and impact of the applied classification system Alliance 3N in clinical nursing practice.
To meet the objective of the paper a search strategy was chosen for the period 1998-2010, in the databases Medline - PubMed, EBSCOHost, Cochrane, ProQuest and Google Scholar while using the key search words. Criteria for involvement the found studies were: documentation of nursing diagnosis with application of Alliance 3N, accuracy of the documented nursing diagnosis and impact of Alliance 3N on patient's final condition. Several papers (results of primary studies, overview papers - systematic review and abstracts) were found out. From the found results of research studies follow clear statistical improvement of knowledge and critical thinking together with utilization of NANDA nursing diagnostics not only in students of nursing but also in already working registered nurses who practise and improve their basic knowledge and abilities using the classification system Alliance 3N in clinical practice. Registered nurses are able to determine nursing diagnosis, choose suitable nursing intervention and reach the expected nursing results of care for patients/clients using the classification system Alliance 3N much more effectively and accurately.
