I do not recognize these diagnoses. Because of that I have no taxonomy information to refer to. Therefore, I cannot comment as to whether your related ideas are correct or not. Where did you find these diagnoses?

These are wellness diagnosis using Stoltes framework of (Wellness : Nursing Diagnosis for health promotion).http://books.google.ca/books?id=Ra5a-gE5mi8C&pg=PA21&lpg=PA21&dq=wellness+diagnosis&source=web&ots=W7L8eN_9At&sig=SRB-tnLfDsAnCrfbxbIkcdBjQuU&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=2&ct=result#PPA30,M1

If you got these diagnoses from this book, then based on what I read about Beginning Attainment of Maternal Role, it describes the manifestations very clearly. Since the book is about wellness, I would imagine that the etiology of wellness, which is what the related factor is, is probably discussed quite a bit at the beginning of the book. See pages 8 and 9 of the book. I have always put "desire to improve" as a related factor with any of the wellness diagnoses because that is the focus of any of them--a desire to improve. That is what my care plan books have always suggested. I would word the diagnoses

  • Progressive Transition to Extrauterine Life R/T desire to return to normal activity AEB [assessment evidence]
  • Beginning Integration of Infant Into Family (related to relationship with older siblings) R/T desire to create family bonding AEB [assessment evidence]
    • I am assuming that "Beginning Integration of Infant Into Family (related to relationship with older siblings)" is the complete title of the diagnosis

    [*]Increasing Confidence in Infant Care Skills (related to practice of skills) R/T desire to improve infant care AEB [assessment evidence]

    • I am assuming that "Increasing Confidence in Infant Care Skills (related to practice of skills)" is the complete title of this diagnosis

Thanks so much for your help.

All makes sense...
