Clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis decreased diversional activity engagement in patients with diabetes.

BACKGROUND: Diagnostic accuracy studies are important to identify the best set of defining characteristics for a given nursing diagnosis. The reliability of nursing inferences can be increased by using clinical indicators with high prediction capacity helping nurses to be more accurate in their clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: To clinically validate the nursing diagnosis Decreased diversional activity engagement in adult patients with diabetes. METHOD: A diagnostic accuracy study with a cross-sectional design was carried out patients with type 2 diabetes. A latent class model with random effects was used to measure the sensitivity and specificity. RESULTS: The diagnosis of Decreased diversional activity engagement was present in 62.2% of the patients. The defining characteristics with high sensitivity (good indicators for confirmation) were discontent with situation, physical deconditioning, and altertion in mood. Boredom, flat affect, discontent with situation, and frequent naps were the defining characteristics with the highest specificity values. These factors are considered good integrating components of the diagnosis under investigation in patients with diabetes. CONCLUSION: The nursing diagnosis decreased diversional activity engagement is frequent in patients with diabetes, and discontent with situation can be considered a good predictor of its occurrence due to its high values of specificity and sensitivity. IMPACT: The use of accurate clinical indicators in the diagnostic reasoning of nurses contributes to the achievement of outcomes centered on the patient's human responses.

Diagnósticos de enfermagem em pacientes diabéticos: revisão integrativa / Nursing diagnoses in diabetic patients: an integrative review / Diagnósticos de enfermería en pacientes diabéticos: revisión integradora

Objetivo: identificar os diagnósticos de enfermagem segundo a taxonomia NANDA Internacional, Inc. evidenciados em pacientes com diabetes mellitus. Método: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada no mês de maio de 2020, nas bases CINAHL, Scopus, PUBMED, LILACS, BDEnf e Biblioteca Eletrônica Científica Online SciELO. Foram selecionados artigos científicos que abordavam diagnósticos de enfermagem em pacientes adultos com diabetes mellitus tipo 1 e 2, no recorte temporal de 2004 a 2020. Resultados: selecionados 21 artigos, sendo a maioria brasileiros, do tipo descritivo e transversal. Encontrou-se 60 diferentes diagnósticos de enfermagem, destes, 43 eram com foco no problema, 15 de risco e dois de promoção da saúde. Conclusão: os domínios predominantes foram: Promoção da Saúde, Nutrição, Eliminação e Troca, Atividade/repouso, Enfrentamento/Tolerância ao Estresse e Segurança/proteção. As evidências de diagnósticos de enfermagem norteiam o cuidado de enfermagem, subsidiam o raciocínio clínico e científico dos profissionais potencializando, assim, a sistematização da assistência.
