ICNPR is the most often used on the basics of nursing (n=105; 95.5%). Regarding the second-cycle studies, students mainly applied the ICNPR (n=49; 44.5%) and NANDA (n=23; 20.9%) classifications, however, 13.6% (n=15) of the respondents did not use any nursing dictionary during the classes. Students also used ICNPR reference terminology in self-study papers (n=52; 47.3%) and diploma theses (n=20; 18.2%).

Conclusions. The most frequently used classifi cation in the fi rst- and second-cycle studies at the universities of the Pomeranian Voivodeship is the ICNPR dictionary.
