Summary:Background: As in all surgical procedures, nursing care after cardiac surgery has an important place in patient care. Standard nursing care using NANDA nursing diagnosis by nurses and nursing students is an important subject to be evaluated and investigated. Aims: This study aimed to examine nursing diagnoses determined by nursing students for patients cared for post-cardiac surgery. Methodology: This study is a descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective and it's sample consisted of 110 nursing care plans prepared by nursing students participating at the cardiovascular clinic in University Nursing Faculties in Izmir during the 2015-2016 academic years. Results: It was determined that 39 existing and 14 risk nursing diagnoses, 5 collaborative problems, and 58 nursing diagnoses in total were reported in the care plans. Research results indicated that students are insufficient in making diagnoses for patients. Conclusions: It was found that students are insufficient in making diagnosis for patients and mainly focused on physiological aspects, did not have a tendency to evaluate sexuality patterns, value and belief areas, and thus found fewer problems, and made terminologically inaccurate diagnosis.
