  • Introduction: Occupational health presents itself as a whole area to ensure healthy work environments and a better quality of life for workers.

    In the information systems in use, it was found that this area was missing, and a representation of existing knowledge in occupational nursing is urgent, particularly concerning the data that allow the characterization of health needs in a work environment.

    Objectives: Formally represent the available knowledge related to data relating to the assessment of the client under the influence of the work environment, which represent the first element of the planning and description of the nursing care process, thus constituting a fundamental resource for the design of clinical decision support systems.

    Methodology: This work derives from a global project developed by the Center for Research and Development of Information Systems at the Porto School of Nursing, in collaboration with the Ordem dos Enfermeiros, which consolidated itself in the construction of a Nursing Ontology.

    A qualitative study of inferential nature was carried out for its conception, with content analysis to national parameterization and literature review.

    For content validation, a focus group was used.

    Results: Nineteen assessment data were identified, most of which could generate sensitive indicators for nursing care, organized into three domains: i) data related to the characterization of the work activity, its context and physical intensity; ii) data related to occupational exposure potentially leading to changes in bodily and psychological processes; and iii) data that characterize aspects related to health-seeking behaviours related to the adaptive process (transition) of the client in the work context, such as knowledge and awareness.

    Conclusions: The identification of data is decisive for the diagnostic process, with centrality in the characterization of the data centred on physical intensity and exposure to risk factors in the work activity and the adaptive process related to areas that will influence the choice of health-promoting behaviours.
