[Nursing diagnosis sedentary lifestyle in individuals with hypertension: an analysis of accuracy]. / Diagnóstico de enfermagem estilo de vida sedentário em indivíduos com hipertensão arterial: uma análise de acurácia.

OBJECTIVE: Assessing the accuracy of the defining characteristics (DC) of the nursing diagnosis Sedentary Lifestyle (SL) in people with hypertension. METHOD: A cross-sectional study carried out in a referral center in the outpatient care of people with hypertension and diabetes, with a sample of 285 individuals. The form used in the study was designed from operational definitions constructed for each DC of the diagnosis. Four nurses with training to carry out diagnostic inferences did the clinical assessment for the presence of SL. RESULTS: The prevalence of SL was 55.8%. Regarding measures of accuracy, the main DC for SL was chooses a daily routine lacking physical exercise, with sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 84.13%. Two DC stood out in the logistic regression, namely: reports preference for activities low in physical activity and poor performance in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). CONCLUSION: The results allowed identifying the best clinical indicators for SL in hypertensive adults.

Diagnostic accuracy of clinical indicators of Imbalanced nutrition in pediatric patients submitted to chemotherapy.

To analyze the accuracy of clinical indicators of nursing diagnosis, Imbalanced nutrition: less than the body requirements in pediatric patients undergoing chemotherapy. A cross-sectional study was carried out in a pediatric oncohematology unit. A total of 123 children aged 5-18 years were evaluated. The Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (STARD) protocol was used. Latent class analysis was performed to obtain sensitivity and specificity of clinical indicators. The diagnosis was identified in six children (5.23%). The most frequent clinical indicator in the study was report of food intake less than recommended daily allowance (n = 61; 49.6%), followed by excessive hair loss (n = 49; 39.8%), misperception (n = 42; 34.1%), satiety immediately upon ingesting food (n = 32; 26%), lack of information (n = 30; 24.4%), and pale mucous membranes (n = 22; 17.9%). The 10 indicators that sensitivity and specificity were statistically superior to 50% were food intake less than recommended daily allowance, misperception, insufficient interest in food, lack of food, hyperactive bowel sounds, body weight 20% or more below ideal weight range, insufficient muscle tone, food aversion, abdominal cramping, and misinformation. The clinical indicators Food intake less than recommended daily allowance and Misperception can be considered the most important indicators for the initial inference of the diagnosis due to their high values of specificity and sensitivity. It is essential that nurses provide targeted and qualified assistance based on the signs and symptoms presented by patients, as they will be able to design appropriate interventions to obtain the desired results.

Nutritional Deficits In Children With Cancer: A Situation-Specific Theory.

PURPOSE: To construct a situation-specific theory (SST) to represent nutritional deficits for assessing children with cancer. DATA SOURCES: Literature review. DATA SYNTHESIS: The SST included the definition of key concepts, a pictorial scheme, propositions, causal relationships, and evidence for nursing practice. CONCLUSIONS: It was possible to characterize the elements as antecedent and consequent clinical factors to allow for an understanding of the existing relationships between them and their temporality. These elements differed considerably from those included in NANDA International. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: This study provides additional information so that nurses in clinical practice can infer the presence of nutritional deficits in children with cancer early, given the risk already inherent in the diagnosis of cancer and treatment.

Clinical indicators of ineffective airway clearance in children with acute respiratory infection.

The identification of clinical indicators with good predictive ability allows the nurse to minimize the existing variability in clinical situations presented by the patient and to accurately identify the nursing diagnosis, which represents the true clinical condition. The purpose of this study was to analyze the accuracy of NANDA-I clinical indicators of the nursing diagnosis ineffective airway clearance (IAC) in children with acute respiratory infection. This was a prospective cohort study conducted with a group of 136 children and followed for a period of time ranging from 6 to 10 consecutive days. For data analysis, the measures of accuracy were calculated for clinical indicators, which presented statistical significance in a generalized estimated equation model. IAC was present in 91.9% of children in the first assessment. Adventitious breath sounds presented the best measure of accuracy. Ineffective cough presented a high value of sensitivity. Changes in respiratory rate, wide-eyed, diminished breath sounds, and difficulty vocalizing presented high positive predictive values. In conclusion, adventitious breath sounds showed the best predictive ability to diagnose IAC in children with respiratory acute infection.

Desempenho funcional de idosos com transtornos mentais / Functional performance of elderly with mental disorders

Objetivo: Verificar a associação entre desempenho funcional e dados sociodemográficos e clínicos de idosos com transtornos mentais. Método: Estudo transversal realizado com 35 idosos diagnosticados com transtorno mental, atendidos em um serviço especializado da região norte do estado do Ceará. As informações coletadas foram do perfil social, clínico e do desempenho funcional em atividades básicas e instrumentais de vida diária. Utilizou-se o teste de correlação de Spearman e o teste Mann-Whitney. Resultados: A depressão foi o transtorno mental mais frequente (94,24%). A maioria dos idosos era independente para todas as atividades básicas de vida diária (62,85%). Houve associação da idade avançada (p<0,05) e o aumento do número de psicotrópicos em uso (p<0,042) com menor nível de autonomia e independência para atividades instrumentais. Conclusão: Idosos com transtornos mentais apresentam desempenho funcional reduzido associado à idade avançada e ao aumento do número de psicotrópico em uso. (AU)
