The paper proposes new diagnoses on child development (CD) for NANDA International.

The study followed the recommended steps of Developmental Processes for NANDA International Nursing Diagnoses. It was a secondary analysis study on the findings of a concept analysis study on CD.

A proposal of labels and components of three diagnoses: “Delayed child development,” “Risk for delayed child development,” and “Readiness for enhanced child development.”

The proposed diagnoses represent all the complexity of CD.

The proposed diagnoses can support nurses in the development of a comprehensive care plan on the health of children.

Este estudo seguiu as etapas recomendadas para o desenvolvimento de diagnósticos de enfermagem da NANDA-International. Foi realizado a partir dos resultados da análise de conceito do termo desenvolvimento infantil.

Propostos os títulos e os componentes de três diagnósticos: “Atraso no desenvolvimento infantil,” “Risco de atraso no desenvolvimento infantil,” e “Disposição para desenvolvimento infantil melhorado.”

Os diagnósticos propostos contemplam toda a complexidade do desenvolvimento infantil.

Os novos diagnósticos podem subsidiar o enfermeiro na elaboração de um plano de cuidados integrais à saúde da criança.

To gather data from patients and caregivers about their personal experiences with longing.

Using Fehring's Clinical Diagnostic Validity model, patients and caregivers were surveyed for their experiences with longing. The survey was developed based on two previous research projects (a content analysis and survey of expert nurses). Approval for the study was received from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Institutional Review Board.

None of the 84 attributes met major criteria (weighted ratios ≥ 0.8), but 19 met minor (weighted ratios of 0.60–0.79) across patients, caregivers, and combined scores. The proposed definition was supported by the respondents.

The phenomenon of longing may exist.

There is evidence justifying the submission to NANDA-I for a new nursing diagnosis for longing.

To determine the prevalence of Ineffective Self-Health Management (ISHM) (00078) and its related factors in polymedicated patients over the age of 65 years.

A cross-sectional, descriptive design was used. A home interview was conducted with each participant (N = 375) for data collection.

The prevalence of ISHM was 37.3%. The risk factors associated were social risk, depression, noncompliance, medication errors, and confusion with medications.

Among polymedicated elderly patients, the prevalence of ISHM is high. The diagnosis is closely connected to the compliance and complexity of the treatment regimen, in addition to those relating strictly to social and emotional factors.

Nursing methodology encompasses instruments that allow nurses in clinical practice to evaluate the issue of compliance.
