INTRODUCTION: This study constitutes a descriptive, analytical, and retrospective research on the nursing interventions formulated for the most frequent nursing diagnoses in gynecology identified for 165 women seen at outpatient nursing appointments held at two regional health centers in Campo Grande, MS, Brazil. The interventions were developed from axes A (action type), B (target), C (means), and H (beneficiary) of the ICNP® Nursing Actions Classification (Beta 2 version). OBJECTIVES: Establish nursing interventions and nursing outcomes. METHOD: The data on the population were obtained from the protocols of 165 outpatient consultation sessions. RESULTS: Sixty nursing diagnoses were identified, whose simple frequency ranged from 1 to 137, and the five most frequent ones were selected for establishing the nursing interventions. The actions most frequently established were ‘guiding’, ‘referring’, ‘explaining’, and ‘providing’. CONCLUSIONS: While formulating the interventions, an urgent need for multidisciplinary work was perceived, considering that the action ‘referring’, in the scope of this research, equated the referral to diverse health care services. Another finding was the evidence that nurses play a pivotal role as education agents.
