Abstract
PURPOSE
To determine nursing diagnoses in people with a digestive stoma and their relationship with sociodemographic and clinical variables.
METHOD
A cross-sectional descriptive study of 102 subjects in the General Surgery Unit of a first-level hospital (Granada, Spain) was conducted. Data were collected on the presence of nursing diagnoses, sociodemographic and clinical variables.
RESULTS
NANDA-I: “Deficient knowledge (00126)” and “Readiness for enhanced health management (00162)” were present in the entire sample studied. The period of care (postoperative vs. follow-up) was the most common significant variable among diagnoses.
CONCLUSIONS
This work contributes to the determination of NANDA-I diagnoses in people with digestive stomas.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE
The results provide a guide to help nursing professionals develop individual care plans.
