Journal Title: Revista Eletronica de Enfermagem - Year 2011, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the nursing diagnoses identified in adults and elderly in the postoperative period. A total of 20 adults and 20 elderly patients hospitalized in the surgical clinic of a general hospital in Niterói-RJ-Brazil were randomly recruited, from January to April 2009.The Protocol of Carpenito was selected as a data collection instrument. A statistical descriptive and inferential analysis was carried out. The following nursing diagnoses were identified in the elderly: impaired dentition (85%), constipation (75%), and self-care deficit for dressing and grooming (70%). In adults: anxiety (85%), self-care deficit for dressing and grooming (70%) and constipation (65%). 100% of risk of infection and harmed skin integrity for both groups was identified. The nursing diagnoses more frequently found in elderly were: impaired dentition (p=0.008) and risk of falls (p=0.000). On the other hand, higher proportion of sleep deprivation occurred among adults (p=0.028). Although both groups are undergoing post-operative phases, their needs for care are different, considering the changing aging process.
