INTRODUCTION

Threat to the well-being of the maternal-fetal dyad in the gestational period arises from several clinical, obstetric, and social conditions that can cause maternal and/or fetal complications and compromise their outcome. Pregnancy that occurs with complications corresponds to 20% of the total pregnancies and is called high risk⁽¹⁾.

Due to the unexpected conditions associated with pregnancy, there is a real or potential risk to the health and well-being of the mother and/or the child. Risk assessment is necessary to identify any condition that may impact the dyad. Assistance to pregnant women, with detailed antecedents, complete physical examination and laboratory findings may reveal risks of maternal and/or fetal mortality or morbidity⁽²⁾.

In assisting high-risk pregnancy, nurses must provide proper care and act in promoting the health of women and the child^(1-2). The methodological instrument used to guide care actions is the Nursing Process (NP), which supports the Systematization of Nursing Care (SNC). NP assists nurses in noticing individuals’ health problems, planning and implementing their actions, as well as assessing the results⁽³⁾. NP consists of data collection, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and assessment⁽⁴⁾.

To promote care, we seek to implement the SNC⁽³⁾. In order to carry out its accomplishment, some nursing classifications were developed to standardize the language among nurses. Among them is the NANDA International (NANDA-I) taxonomy⁽⁴⁾, which allows nurses to identify nursing diagnoses (ND) according to the needs of the individual, family, or community.

In 2008, NANDA-I integrated the “risk for disturbed maternal-fetal dyad” ND, which is inserted in the “sexuality” domain and in the “reproduction” class. Diagnosis is defined by NANDA-I as “at risk for disruption of the symbiotic maternal-fetal dyad as a result of comorbidity or pregnancy-related conditions”⁽⁴⁾. Its level of evidence is 2.1, which corresponds to the ND that was accepted for integration and publication in NANDA-I, since literature was cited both for its definition and for its clinical indicators⁽⁴⁾. However, no integrative literature review or conceptual analysis studies have been carried out that depict evidence that supports the components of the diagnosis and so that its level of evidence can increase.

The 11^th edition of NANDA-I (2018-2020)⁽⁴⁾ recategorized some risk factors in populations at risk (group of people who have characteristics that are susceptible to a specific human response that cannot be modified by nurses independently) and in related conditions (diagnoses) injuries, procedures, medical devices or pharmaceutical agents, which are not independently modifiable by nurses). The diagnosis under study consists of three risk factors, four related conditions and no population at risk. Thus, it is necessary to review the elements of the “risk for disturbed maternal-fetal dyad” ND in high-risk pregnancy.

This research contributes to improve the maternal-fetal dyad concept, which is relevant to understand the symbiotic relationship between the mother and the child, and to guide the implementation of SNC. Moreover, it offers subsidies for nurses’ clinical practice in assisting pregnant women, especially at high-risk. Concept analysis will be the basis to proceed with the development of validation of the ND under study.

OBJECTIVE

To analyze the NANDA-I taxonomy “maternal-fetal dyad” concept in high-risk pregnancy.

METHODS

Type of study

This is the concept analysis, which was carried out through the theoretical framework of Walker and Avant⁽⁵⁾ and through an integrative review, concomitantly.

The concept analysis corresponds to the first stage of ND validation studies and consists of eight stages, proposed by Walker and Avant⁽⁵⁾: 1. Choosing a concept; 2. Determining the purpose of analysis; 3. Identifying all uses of the concept; 4. Defining attributes; 5. Identifying a model case; 6. Identifying borderline, related, and contrary cases; 7. Identifying antecedents and consequences; 8. Defining empirical references.

For this study, we carried out six steps: choosing a concept, determining the purpose of analysis, defining attributes, identifying antecedents and consequences (risk ND contains only antecedents - risk factors, population at risk, and related conditions)⁽⁴⁾, identifying a model case, and identifying borderline, related, and contrary cases. Next, the steps performed and their operation will be described:

1. Choosing a concept: the chosen concept was the “maternal-fetal dyad” of NANDA-I taxonomy. This concept emerged from the conceptual core of the “risk for disturbed maternal-fetal dyad” ND.

2. Determining the purpose of analysis: this analysis aimed to identify the critical attributes and antecedents of the NANDA-I taxonomy “maternal-fetal dyad” concept in high-risk pregnancy;

3. Defining attributes: this step was carried out through integrative review. From it, the attributes associated with the NANDA-I taxonomy “disturbed maternal-fetal dyad” concept were identified, especially the recurring characteristics^(4-5). It is noteworthy that these attributes will be used to revise the “risk for disturbed maternal-fetal dyad” ND definition;

4. Identifying antecedents and consequences: it was also carried out through the integrative review. The antecedents and consequences that negatively affect the maternal-fetal dyad have been identified, which are risk factors, population at risk and related conditions^(4-5). They will be used to review the elements of the “risk for disturbed maternal-fetal dyad” ND;

5. Identifying a model case: a model case was identified to exemplify what the concept is. According to Walker and Avant⁽⁵⁾, the case can be sought in literature, be real or constructed by the analyst;

6. Identifying borderline, related, and contrary cases: borderline, related, and contrary cases have been identified to exemplify what the concept is not. These cases can also be sought in literature, be real or constructed by the analyst⁽⁵⁾.

The integrative review was carried out with the purpose of operationalizing steps 3 and 4, as mentioned. This review went through six steps: 1. Identifying the theme and the research question; 2. Sampling or literature search; 3. Defining the information to be extracted from the selected articles (categorization of studies); 4. Assessing the studies included in the integrative review; 5. Interpreting the results; 6. Presenting the knowledge review or synthesis⁽⁶⁾.

Thus, the question that guided the integrative literature review was: what are the critical attributes and antecedents of the NANDA-I taxonomy “maternal-fetal dyad” concept in high-risk pregnancy?

Search strategy

To select the studies, a search was performed through access to PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, LILACS and SciELO. The descriptors used are indexed in the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) and in the Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) were “Pregnancy, High-Risk”; “Complications of pregnancy” and “Risk Factors”, with the Boolean operator AND. Selected articles were published between 2008 and 2020.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Original and review articles were available, available electronically and in full, published in Portuguese, English or Spanish and which addressed the subject under study. Theses, dissertations and letters to the editor were excluded.

Study selection process

One thousand three hundred and forty-six studies were identified in databases and virtual library. Titles and abstracts were read. Of this total, five articles were excluded, as they were repeated between databases. Subsequently, 1,289 articles were excluded, as they did not meet the proposed criteria, totaling 52 articles to be read in full. Of the 52 articles, eight publications that did not address the attributes and background of the concept were excluded. At the end, 44 articles were selected to support the integrative review (Figure 1).

Data extraction and assessment of the methodological quality of eligible studies

Defining the information to be extracted from the selected articles was carried out using the data collection instrument developed for this research. The instrument contained the characterization of the studies, namely: title, authors, database, language, country, year and field of publication, objective, method, level of evidence (the evaluation was carried out using the evidence-based practices guide in nursing)⁽⁷⁾ and methodological rigor (the evaluation was carried out through the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP)⁽⁸⁾ specific to each type of study). Moreover, the instrument made it possible to obtain the attributes and antecedents of the “maternal-fetal dyad” concept that were found.

Analysis of data and interpretation of results

The fourth step, assessing the studies included in the integrative review, aimed at analyzing the collected data. The fifth stage, interpreting the results, corresponded to the discussion of the main results, comparing them with the elements of the “risk for disturbed maternal-fetal dyad” ND. The review was presented in the last step.

RESULTS

The elements that characterize the concept (attributes) and antecedents (risk factors, population at risk and related conditions) were identified. To identify the antecedents, events that negatively affect the maternal-fetal dyad were analyzed (Chart 1).

Furthermore, it should be noted that all articles in the review were classified in category A (6 to 10 points) for methodological rigor, which are studies with good methodological quality and minimized bias (n=44)^(9-52). Most articles were published between 2013 and 2015 (n=22)^{(9-11,15-17,19-21,23-32,40-42))} and in non-nursing journals(n=41)^{(12-18,20-53)}. The articles in English (n=30)^{(9-16,18-31,41,46-52)}, published in the United States of America (n=12)^{(10-16,18-19,22,24,26)} and with evidence level IV - well-outlined cohort and case-control studies stood out (n=17)^{(14,16-18,21-25,31-32,34,36-37,40-41,43,46-48,50)}. Most were selected mainly from the Scopus database (n=16)^(17-32).

Of the two attributes found, only “symbiotic maternal-fetal relationship” is in NAND-I’s definition of the diagnosis under study.

Of the ten identified risk factors, five are included in the NANDA-I taxonomy⁽⁴⁾, despite using different nomenclature such as tobacco, alcohol and drugs; violence and absent/inadequate prenatal care. Analysis allowed identifying other risk factors of the diagnosis, which are not included in NANDA-I such as overweight, obesity, low gestational weight gain, absent/inadequate partner support, and absent/inadequate social support.

Four related conditions (complications of pregnancy, impaired glucose metabolism, medication regimen and compromised oxygen transfer) are included in NANDA-I⁽⁴⁾ and two are not (diseases and maternal conditions). None of the population at risk found in this study is in that taxonomy.

Furthermore, the model case and the opposite case were identified, which were adapted from the literature⁽¹⁶⁾ (Charts 2 and 3). It is noteworthy that these cases will show the representation of the concept and what the concept is not, respectively.

Chart 2
Exemplification of the model case of the "maternal-fetal dyad" concept, 2020

Model case

R.D., 31 years old, primigravida, starts prenatal consultations at eight weeks of gestation with the purpose of maintaining an efficient monitoring and quality assistance for the maternal-fetal dyad. Although she perceives herself to be healthy, she worries about pregnancy risk factors, as she is aware of the symbiotic maternal-fetal relationship. In prenatal consultations, R.D. increases the knowledge about the well-being of the dyad, as she starts to realize how essential the bond between her and her child is to maintain the physiological exchange and the good quality of affective-emotional interactions during the gestational period.(16).

Chart 3
Exemplification of the contrary case with antecedents that affect the maternal-fetal dyad, 2020

Contrary case

M.V. is a 36-year-old primigravida and starts labor at 28 weeks of gestation due to complications of pregnancy. She reports not having had prenatal care, complains of headache, epigastric pain and is concerned about the well-being of the child. The nurse performs fetal monitoring, obtains the vital signs of M.V and checks the presence of protein in the urine, to observe the presence or absence of maternal and fetal complications. Blood pressure is 170/98 mmHg and proteinuria is observed in the Labstix test (2+). The nurse identifies the potential for pre-eclampsia and subsequent fetal hypoxia, which can lead to compromised maternal and fetal health. M.V. claims that she had headaches throughout her pregnancy. The nurse, as well as the doctor, discusses this situation with M.V., providing information about her condition that contributes to the risk for disturbed maternal-fetal dyad and the potential adverse effects on her health and that of her child(16).

DISCUSSION

It is observed in the model case how the concept “maternal-fetal dyad” is defined through the attributes found in the literature. Meanwhile, it is observed how the concept cannot be defined in the contrary case. There are antecedents that affect the maternal-fetal dyad, among them: increased maternal age, absent prenatal care, premature labor, preeclampsia, proteinuria and compromised oxygen transport to the child. These complications of pregnancy caused maternal and fetal losses, resulting in the risk for disturbed maternal-fetal dyad^(44-45).

The attributes of the “maternal-fetal dyad” concept that stood out in literature were: maternal-fetal bond and symbiotic maternal-fetal relationship. The NANDA-I’s definition for the diagnosis under study is “at risk for disruption of the symbiotic maternal-fetal dyad as a result of comorbidity or pregnancy-related conditions”⁽⁴⁾. Therefore, it is suggested that the definition needs to be more consistent considering the impairment of physiological exchange and affective-emotional interactions: “at risk for disruption of the symbiotic maternal-fetal dyad as a result of comorbidity or pregnancy-related conditions”.

Negative pregnancy outcomes are strongly influenced by risk factors. Such risk factors trigger problems during pregnancy, making the mother and fetus vulnerable to complications and morbidities^(44-52).

The NANDA-I “substance abuse” risk factor was identified as tobacco, drugs and alcohol. These factors during pregnancy generate compromised health for the woman and the fetus and are related to the etiology of premature birth, spontaneous abortions and fetal malformations⁽⁴⁵⁾. It is noteworthy that in Brazil, in 2016, the estimated prevalence of the use of these substances during pregnancy was 1.45% for drugs, 22.32% for alcohol and 4.22% for tobacco⁽⁵³⁾. It is observed that alcohol is the most prevalent in pregnancy.

“Absent/inadequate partner support” and “absent/inadequate social support” risk factors were also found in nursing literature, but they are not included in the NANDA-I taxonomy. According to nursing literature, lack of support and non-acceptance of the partner during pregnancy are the leading causes of symptoms of depression. Approximately 10% of pregnant women have symptoms of depression, mild or moderate, which can interfere with fetal development and increase risks to both the health of the mother and the fetus⁽⁴¹⁾. In Brazil, there were 25% of pregnant women with depression in 2017%⁽⁵³⁾.

Analysis of the elements of the ND allowed identification of other risk factors that are not included in NANDA-I: overweight, obesity and low gestational weight gain. It is known that the altered maternal weight is one of the contributors for the development of complications of pregnancy, since the maternal nutritional status before and during pregnancy has a significant influence on maternal health and fetal development⁽⁴²⁾. In Brazil, in 2017, 26.55% of pregnant women were overweight, 15% were obese and 17.34% were underweight⁽⁵³⁾.

Overweight and obesity are increasingly present in pregnancy and can lead to gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, fetal mortality, congenital malformations, premature birth, macrosomia and polyhydramnios. Low maternal weight can restrict fetal growth⁽⁴²⁾.

As for the risk factor “absent/inadequate prenatal care”, NANDA-I only mentions the term “inappropriate”, when it should also include the term “absent”, as mentioned in nursing literature, since in 2016, in Brazil, 551,369 pregnant women had an inadequate number of prenatal consultations and 15,636 pregnant women did not attend them⁽⁵³⁾. Absence or difficulty in accessing prenatal care may be related to socioeconomic, accessibility, quality of care and social support, maternal age, alcohol and other drugs, multiparity, non-acceptance of pregnancy, lack of family support and lack of connection with health services factors. It should be noted that failure to perform prenatal care can directly affect maternal and/or fetal health⁽⁵³⁾.

It should be noted that NANDA-I does not present, for the diagnosis under study, the clinical indicator “population at risk”. However, in this conceptual analysis, five population at risk were identified: increased maternal age; preeclampsia in previous pregnancy; unintended pregnancy; low education level and economically disadvantaged. These populations are more likely to develop the diagnosis of risk for disturbed maternal-fetal dyad^(44,53).

Women who do not plan pregnancy, as well as pregnant women who have low education level and/or low socioeconomic status, are also susceptible to unfavorable pregnancy outcomes, such as pre-eclampsia, premature labor and low birth weight, a once compromise maternal-fetal bond^(41,53).

Pregnant women with increased maternal age (≥ 35 years old) are more predisposed to maternal and fetal morbidity and the risk of maternal mortality⁽⁴⁴⁾. Furthermore, they have greater complications of pregnancy such as gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, premature labor, placenta previa or abruption, premature rupture of membranes, and multiple gestations. In Brazil, in 2010, 299,372 women aged 35 and over got pregnant. In 2016, this value increased by 22.14%, which is equivalent to 384,496 pregnant women with increased maternal age⁽⁵³⁾.

The results of this review mentioned that gestational risk is observed in women with increased maternal age, however early maternal age can be a determining factor for gestational risk^(44-45).

Concerning related conditions, which are not changeable by nurses, six were found in nursing literature. Among them, diseases and maternal conditions are not included in the taxonomy, which threatens 20% of pregnancies, making them at high risk. Such diseases and maternal conditions are pre-existing hypertension, depression, dyslipidemia, systemic inflammation, vitamin D deficiency, maternal infections, autoimmune diseases, thyroid dysfunction and endometriosis. They cause complications of pregnancy, namely: hemorrhages, pre-eclampsia, unfavorable obstetric results, restriction of fetal development, premature birth, macrosomia, placenta previa, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, among others⁽⁵²⁾.

The elements evidenced in the literature will assist nurses in the correct identification of the ND and in advising pregnant women about the potential problems that may arise during the gestational period. Complications of pregnancy have important long-term implications for both the health of the mother and the health of the child⁽⁵²⁾. Nurses must also appropriate this knowledge in the decision-making process and in carrying out specific care for high-risk pregnant women. The correct identification of the factors responsible for the risk for disturbed maternal-fetal dyad favors the subsequent implementation of preventive and health promotion actions capable of intervening in complications of pregnancy^(51-52).

In the time frame used for this research, no studies were found in the literature that addressed the analysis of the risk concept of disturbed maternal-fetal dyad. There are only studies that cite the diagnosis in question in high-risk pregnant women.

Study limitations

As limitations of the research, it has been that the concept may be implicit in the literature, as well as unnecessary defining attributes and antecedents may have been included, establishing barriers for an effective analysis. Furthermore, conceptual analysis requires interpretation, which may reflect the researcher’s subjectivity.

Contributions to nursing

This study contributes to language development in the nursing field by identifying the risk factors of the laughing population and the related conditions of the ND risk for disturbed maternal-fetal dyad; this occurred in the context of high-risk pregnancy for the use of appropriate terminology; and this is indispensable for professional nursing practice.

CONCLUSION

The concept analysis allowed to identify the attributes and antecedents of the maternal-fetal dyad concept in high-risk pregnancy in the established time frame, raising and clarifying ideas. It was possible to identify 12 antecedents that are not included in NANDA-I. There was a need to review the definition of the diagnosis proposed by the taxonomy.

Further studies are recommended, especially in nursing, on understanding the concept, as most articles that met the inclusion criteria come from other field of health. It is necessary to review the risk factors; new components of the diagnosis proposed by the taxonomy (related conditions and populations at risk); conducting content analysis by experts so that experts can corroborate or not the results identified in this concept analysis. The diagnosis review will support a better direction in nursing care for pregnant women through actions to prevent diagnostic risk factors.
