Concept Analysis and Content Validation of Risk of Injury to the Urinary Tract: Nursing Diagnosis

Abstract

Purpose

To elaborate, propose, and validate risk for urinary tract injury as a nursing diagnosis.

Methods

Methodology was divided into three phases: analysis of the concept of urinary tract injury, elaboration of the diagnosis, and validation by a group of specialists.

Findings

Diagnosis label, definition, and inclusion in taxonomy were validated. In 15 risk factors proposed, 12 were validated.

Conclusions

Risk of urinary tract injury was validated as a nursing diagnosis to contemplate the vulnerability of patients using urinary catheters.

Implications for Nursing Practice

Identification of these risk factors contributes to the elaboration of care plans to improve quality of care.

Objetivo

Elaborar, propor e validar risco de lesão do trato urinário como diagnóstico de enfermagem.

Métodos

A metodologia foi dividida em três fases: análise do conceito lesão do trato urinário, elaboração do diagnóstico e validação por especialistas.

Resultados

O enunciado do diagnostico, sua definição e inserção na taxonomia foram validadas. Dos 15 fatores de risco propostos, 12 foram validados.

Conclusões

Risco de lesão do trato urinário foi validado como um diagnóstico de enfermagem que contempla a vulnerabilidade de pacientes em uso de cateteres vesicais.

Implicações para a prática de enfermagem

A identificação destes fatores de risco contribui para a elaboração de planos de cuidado para melhorar a qualidade do atendimento.
