This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing on nursing diagnosis Anxiety (according to International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP)/North American Nursing Diagnoses Association (NANDA) standardized nursing language). A randomised controlled trial will be carried out to do so. In a single-blinded nurse-led 6 months controlled trial, conducted at a hospital outpatient setting in Portugal, approximately 60 patients with anxiety will be randomised to the intervention (n=30) or control groups (n=30). The objective is to compare the outcomes associated with treatment-as-usual and the benefits of implementing the psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing previously developed (5 sessions), which will be evaluated using Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) outcomes Anxiety Level and Anxiety Self-Control (Portuguese version).
