Validación clínica del diagnóstico de enfermería “Riesgo de retraso en el desarrollo infantil”

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To validate clinically the risk factors of the nursing diagnosis “Risk for delayed child development”.

Method:

Cross-sectional quantitative study carried out in a specialty outpatient clinic and in family health units with 124 children. The data was collected through interviews with the children’s guardians to investigate the risk factors for delay in child development.

Results:

The tested risk factors affected 108 of the evaluated children (87.1%). In the accuracy tests, most specificity values were above 80% and sensitivity values were lower than 30%. Most risk factors had odds ratio >1, three of which were noteworthy: genetic disorder (OR = 38, p < 0.05) and congenital disorder (OR = 4.4, p < 0.05), among child-related aspects, and impaired cognitive development in parents (OR = 27, p < 0.05), among caregiver-related aspects.

Conclusion:

The study contributed to a refined diagnostic accuracy, identifying potential associated factors of the evaluated diagnosis.

INTRODUCTION

An effective development in the first years of life enables the formation of safer individuals, capable of facing adverse life situations, limiting economic and social gaps(11. Britto PR, Singh M, Dua T, Kaur R, Yousafzai AK. What implementation evidence matters: scaling-up nurturing interventions that promote early childhood development. Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2018;1419(1):5-16. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/nyas.13720. PubMed PMID: 29791739.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/nyas.13720...
); therefore, favoring conditions for an adequate development may be what matters the most in this phase of life(22. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Secretaria de Atenção à Saúde. Departamento de Ações Programáticas Estratégicas. Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde da Criança: orientações para implementação [Internet]. Brasília: Departamento de Ações Programáticas Estratégicas, Secretaria de Atenção à Saúde, Ministério da Saúde; 2018 [cited 2019 Jan 10]. Available from: https://central3.to.gov.br/arquivo/494643/
https://central3.to.gov.br/arquivo/49464...
). Nurses are thus responsible for diagnoses related to the needs of the development process, in addition to those targeted at potential health changes.

The safe application of diagnoses in nursing practice depends on their validation; being valid means that a diagnosis is based on evidence and theories that support its clinical use(33. Herdman TH, Kamtsuru S, organizadores. Diagnósticos de enfermagem da NANDA: definições e classificação 2021-2023. Porto Alegre: Artmed; 2021.). In this sense, this study presents the clinical validation of a diagnosis related to child development (CD), given its importance in nursing practice to promote children’s health.

NANDA-I has been demonstrating the need to review nursing diagnoses (ND) to achieve levels of evidence with more robust validation methods based on epidemiological approaches and establishing the accuracy of clinical indicators and causal relationships, among others(33. Herdman TH, Kamtsuru S, organizadores. Diagnósticos de enfermagem da NANDA: definições e classificação 2021-2023. Porto Alegre: Artmed; 2021.). There is an increasing number of studies attempting to use new methods of clinical validation of diagnoses, such as accuracy studies, since they correctly identify whether a diagnosis applies to an individual(44. Gonçalves RCS, Sé ACS, Tonini T, Figueiredo NMA, Hernández PE, Fernandez BM. Clinical validation of nursing diagnoses: literature review. R Pesq Cuid Fundam online. 2021;13:602-6. doi: http://dx.doi.org/0.9789/2175-5361.rpcfo.v13.9332
http://dx.doi.org/0.9789/2175-5361.rpcfo...
).

Diagnoses are essential components of the nursing process due to enabling the classification of the evaluated situation and guiding the definition of interventions(33. Herdman TH, Kamtsuru S, organizadores. Diagnósticos de enfermagem da NANDA: definições e classificação 2021-2023. Porto Alegre: Artmed; 2021.). Validated diagnoses offer nurses a set of uniform, safe, and reliable elements for this classification(44. Gonçalves RCS, Sé ACS, Tonini T, Figueiredo NMA, Hernández PE, Fernandez BM. Clinical validation of nursing diagnoses: literature review. R Pesq Cuid Fundam online. 2021;13:602-6. doi: http://dx.doi.org/0.9789/2175-5361.rpcfo.v13.9332
http://dx.doi.org/0.9789/2175-5361.rpcfo...
) and contribute to quality childcare(55. Dantas AMN, Silva KL, Nóbrega MML. Validação de diagnósticos, resultados e intervenções de enfermagem da clínica pediátrica. Rev Bras Enferm. 2018;71(1):89-97. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2016-0647
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2016...
).

A study demonstrated that the main classifications used in Brazilian nursing, CIPE and NANDA-I, did not address the phenomenon of CD in its complexity(66. Souza JM, Veríssimo MLOR. Child development in the NANDA-I and International Classification for Nursing Practices Nursing Classifications. Int J Nurs Knowl. 2013;24(1):44-8. doi: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2047-3095.2012.01228.x
https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2047-3095.2012...
). The definitions of NANDA-I diagnoses had limitations, hindering their application, and addressed different concepts, growth and development, in a single diagnosis. Such diagnoses were not validated and were excluded in the 2015 edition(77. Herdman TH, Kamitsuru S. Diagnósticos de enfermagem da NANDA: definições e classificação 2015-2017. Porto Alegre: Artmed; 2015. 468 p.) of the taxonomy.

To fill this gap, a study based on the concept analysis of the phenomenon of CD(88. Souza JM, Veríssimo MLÓR. Desenvolvimento infantil: análise de um novo conceito. Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2015;23(6):1097-104. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0104-1169.0462.2654. PubMed PMID: 26626001.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0104-1169.0462...
), based on the Bioecology of Human Development(99. Bronfrenbrenner U. Bioecológia do desenvolvimento humano: tornando os seres humanos mais humanos. Porto Alegre: Artmed; 2011.), proposed new diagnoses related to early childhood CD(1010. Souza JM, Cruz DALMD, Veríssimo MÓR. Child development: new diagnoses for the NANDA International. Int J Nurs Knowl. 2018;29(2):112-6. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/2047-3095.12167. PubMed PMID: 27976526.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/2047-3095.1216...
). These diagnoses were evaluated by judges and experts on this subject with high levels of agreement(88. Souza JM, Veríssimo MLÓR. Desenvolvimento infantil: análise de um novo conceito. Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2015;23(6):1097-104. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0104-1169.0462.2654. PubMed PMID: 26626001.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5216/ree.v20.45041...
).

Aiming at a clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis “Risk for delayed child development”(1010. Souza JM, Cruz DALMD, Veríssimo MÓR. Child development: new diagnoses for the NANDA International. Int J Nurs Knowl. 2018;29(2):112-6. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/2047-3095.12167. PubMed PMID: 27976526.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/2047-3095.1216...
) proposed for the NANDA-I taxonomy, this study had the general objective of clinically validating the risk factors of the nursing diagnosis “Risk for delayed child development”(1010. Souza JM, Cruz DALMD, Veríssimo MÓR. Child development: new diagnoses for the NANDA International. Int J Nurs Knowl. 2018;29(2):112-6. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/2047-3095.12167. PubMed PMID: 27976526.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/2047-3095.1216...
) and the specific objectives of testing the measures of accuracy and the association of risk factors with the proposed diagnosis.

METHODS

Type of Study

Descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative, non-experimental study, excerpted from a master’s dissertation(1212. Melo NP. Validação clínica do diagnóstico de enfermagem “Risco de atraso no desenvolvimento infantil” proposto para a taxonomia NANDA-I [dissertação]. São Paulo: Escola de Enfermagem, Universidade de São Paulo; 2018.). The presentation of the study follows the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (Strobe) instrument.

Time and Local of Study

The data was collected from June to October 2017 in two scenarios: a specialty outpatient clinic of a public children’s hospital located in the municipality of São Paulo, state of São Paulo, and in primary care in the municipality of Catalão, state of Goiás. This choice aimed at covering a greater diversity of individual and social conditions of children and understanding how the components of the diagnosis resembled and differed from frequent childcare-related situations in that context.

Population and Sample

The study included children aged 0 to 3 years whose parents or parents agreed to participate. The excluded participants were children in unstable health conditions at the time of collection and caregivers or parents who did not have information about pregnancy, delivery, and childcare.

The sample calculation was performed by a statistician based on a pilot test with 35 children in the specialty outpatient clinic, following the study protocol. Considering the classification of lower prevalence according to the child’s health booklet(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
), which was “probable delayed child development” the sample was defined as 112 children, 56 for each center. As there were no changes in the instruments and collection procedures, the pilot data was included in the final sample, according to the research project.

Study Protocol

Clinical validation studies enable testing, in practice, the attributes proposed by the taxonomy review during concept analysis and content validation by specialists, steps which were previously followed, as mentioned in the introduction(44. Gonçalves RCS, Sé ACS, Tonini T, Figueiredo NMA, Hernández PE, Fernandez BM. Clinical validation of nursing diagnoses: literature review. R Pesq Cuid Fundam online. 2021;13:602-6. doi: http://dx.doi.org/0.9789/2175-5361.rpcfo.v13.9332
http://dx.doi.org/0.9789/2175-5361.rpcfo...
). Such analyses should measure the accuracy, or sensibility and specificity, of clinical constructs(44. Gonçalves RCS, Sé ACS, Tonini T, Figueiredo NMA, Hernández PE, Fernandez BM. Clinical validation of nursing diagnoses: literature review. R Pesq Cuid Fundam online. 2021;13:602-6. doi: http://dx.doi.org/0.9789/2175-5361.rpcfo.v13.9332

,1414. Lopes MVO, Silva VM. Métodos avançados de validação de diagnósticos de enfermagem. In: NANDA International, Herdman TH, Napoleão AA, Lopes CT, Silva VM. PRONANDA Programa de atualização em diagnósticos de enfermagem. Porto Alegre: Artmed; 2016. p. 31-74. Ciclo 4.).

The existence of a gold standard of comparison enables measuring how representative a diagnosis is, and its absence is considered a limitation(1414. Lopes MVO, Silva VM. Métodos avançados de validação de diagnósticos de enfermagem. In: NANDA International, Herdman TH, Napoleão AA, Lopes CT, Silva VM. PRONANDA Programa de atualização em diagnósticos de enfermagem. Porto Alegre: Artmed; 2016. p. 31-74. Ciclo 4.). In this study, the CD surveillance instrument in the children’s health booklet(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
), recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health for childcare consultations, was adopted as a reference.

The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with parents or caregivers in both study scenarios or in home visits. They were guided by a data collection plan elaborated through the theoretical framework(88. Souza JM, Veríssimo MLÓR. Desenvolvimento infantil: análise de um novo conceito. Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2015;23(6):1097-104. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0104-1169.0462.2654. PubMed PMID: 26626001.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0104-1169.0462...
,1111. Souza JM, Veríssimo MLOR, Cruz DALM. Análise do conteúdo de diagnósticos de enfermagem sobre desenvolvimento infantil. Rev Eletr Enferm. 2018;20(6):1-10. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.5216/ree.v20.45041
http://dx.doi.org/10.5216/ree.v20.45041...
), addressing the variables listed as risk factors. The 56 questions investigated the children’s health, pregnancy, and birth records; daily care; parental occupation; household; and the analysis of the evaluation of child development.

The collected data aimed to identify the 22 risk factors of the diagnosis under study, organized into: child risk factors; aspects related to pregnancy; aspects related to daily care. The child’s risk factors were: (acute and chronic) diseases; genetic disorders; congenital disorders; sensory disorders; inadequate growth; prematurity and/or low birth weight. The following aspects related to pregnancy were addressed: use of medications during pregnancy; tobacco use during pregnancy; use of alcohol and drugs during pregnancy; exposure to environmental pollutants (e.g., nitrogen dioxide, benzene, lead, manganese, pesticides, heavy metals); altered maternal mental health during pregnancy; maternal disease; and insufficient prenatal follow-up. Aspects related to daily care were exposure to domestic violence; impaired cognitive development of parents; institutionalization; lack of child stimulation; unfavorable social conditions; and unfavorable economic conditions.

To evaluate the variables “Unfavorable social conditions” and “Unfavorable economic conditions”, the questions of the Social Reproduction Index(1515. Trapé CA. Operacionalização do conceito de classes sociais em epidemiologia crítica: uma proposta de aproximação a partir da categoria reprodução social [tese] São Paulo: Escola de Enfermagem, Universidade de São Paulo; 2011.) form were used. This index divides the population into four social groups, not restricted to the purchasing power of families, but considering their insertion in the means of production and social reproduction. The conditions of the families classified between groups 1 and 2 were considered “favorable” and those in groups 3 and 4, “unfavorable”. The choice of this index considered the complexity of the child development phenomenon and the importance of the care environment, which is not defined only by purchasing power.

A data collection manual was elaborated, including the description of the interview’s steps, contents to be investigated, and orientation for the evaluation of development. The operational definitions of the manual standardized the collection in both sites and ensured the reliability and validity of the study. The interviewers, one for each collection site, were trained together, with guidance from two experienced researchers.

After the application of the script, CD was evaluated according to the child’s health booklet(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
). At the end of the interview, the parents received feedback on CD assessment and the developmental surveillance instrument was filled out in the child’s health booklet.

Data Analysis

Data analysis began during the interview, with the classification of each child’s CD, as defined in the health booklet(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
), i.e., adequate development, adequate development with risk factors, developmental concern or probable developmental delay, as feedback to parents. Based on these classifications, the children were divided into two groups: children who achieved all the milestones of their age group, classified with “adequate development”(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
) or “adequate development with risk factors”(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
); and children who did not present the milestones of their age group, classified with “developmental concern”(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
) or “probable delayed development”(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
).

The data were then transferred to the SPSS program (version 22) to verify the prevalence of risk factors of the diagnosis under test and to apply the measures of accuracy and measures of association to two groups: children with absent developmental milestones and with present developmental milestones.

To evaluate the measures of accuracy of risk factors, the measures of Sensitivity (SE), Specificity (SP), Positive (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) were calculated. The values of specificity and sensitivity were classified according to the standards used in studies that verify the accuracy of diagnoses(1616. Donald KA, Wedderburn CJ, Barnett W, Nhapi RT, Rehman AM, Stadler JAM, et al. Risk and protective factors for child development: an observational South African birth cohort. PLoS Med. 2019;16(9):e1002920. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1002920. PubMed PMID: 31560687.

,1717. Manzoli JPB, Correia MDL, Botelho ML, Begnami NES, Costa PCP, Duran ECM. Diagnostic accuracy of the disturbed sleep pattern in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome. Int J Nurs Knowl. 2020;31(2):101-8. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/2047-3095.12252. PubMed PMID: 31322842.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/2047-3095.1225...
). Pearson’s Chi-Square and Fischer’s Test with significance of p < 0.05 were applied to evaluate the measures of association.

Ethical Aspects

This study, conducted with human beings, complies with Resolution No. 466/12 and included a consent form (Opinion 2,070,709, approved in 2017).

RESULTS

The interviews lasted 30 to 60 minutes. The study included 124 children, 59 from the specialty outpatient clinic and 65 from primary healthcare units; 50 (40.3%) children were aged 0–12 months, 39 (31.4%) were 12–24 months old, and 35 (28.2%) were 24–36 months old; 72 (58.0%) were female.

The most noteworthy risk factors included unfavorable social and economic conditions, chronic acute diseases, congenital disorders, inadequate growth, and prematurity or low birth weight (Table 1).

Table 1.
Distribution of the risk factors proposed for the diagnosis “Risk for Delayed Child Development” in the study sample – São Paulo, 2018 (N = 124).

Based on the health booklet(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
), the children were classified with: adequate development – 44 (35.4%), adequate development with risk factors – 55 (44.3%), developmental concern – 12 (9.6%) and probable delayed development – 13 (10.4%). Thus, the group with developmental milestones comprised 99 children (79.8%) and the group with missing developmental milestones was formed by 25 children (20.2%). The distribution of risk factors of the proposed diagnosis between these two groups is presented in Table 2.

Table 2.
Distribution of risk factors of the diagnosis “Risk for delayed child development” (proposed by NANDA-I), according to the groups with absent developmental milestones and with present developmental milestones – São Paulo, 2018 (N = 124).

All risk factors of the diagnosis under test were present in both groups of children. Some maternal and environmental conditions did not appear in the group of children with missing milestones, and the variable “impaired cognitive development of parents” surfaced only in this group.

Table 3 presents the test of the attributes of risk factors in clinical practice, that is, the measures of accuracy of risk factors of the nursing diagnosis under evaluation.

Table 3.
Distribution of accuracy tests for the variables of diagnostic “Risk for delayed CD” – São Paulo, 2018 (N = 124).

Specificity was mostly above 80%. This indicates that the absence of these factors is high in children with all developmental milestones for their age. Slightly lower specificity was found in four factors: “acute diseases” (78.8%), “inadequate growth” (75.8%), “unfavorable social conditions” (67.7%), and “unfavorable economic conditions” (68.7%). Negative predictive values (NPV) were mostly above 80%, followed by factors above 75%. This data indicates that children who did not meet all CD milestones, according to the booklet, had a higher presence of these risk factors.

Sensitivity values were lower than 30.0% for almost all risk factors and “congenital disorders” was the factor with the highest sensitivity (48.0%). The positive predictive values (PPV) were mostly lower than or equal to 50.0%, except for the risk factor “genetic disorders” (87.5%) and “cognitive development of parents” (100.0%). This means that most of the analyzed risk factors were not associated with the absence of developmental milestones. Thus, children presenting risk factors for delayed CD according to the proposed nursing diagnosis will not necessarily be classified with probable delay or concern based on the child’s booklet(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
).

Regarding the measures of association of risk factors of the proposed diagnosis without CD milestones, it was identified that most had odds ratio > 1, emphasizing “genetic disorder” (OR = 38, p < 0.05) and “congenital disorder” (OR = 4.4, p < 0.05) among child-related aspects, and “impaired cognitive development of parents” (OR = 27, p < 0.05), among the caregiver-related aspects. This means that children with these risk factors are more likely not to meet all CD milestones for their age group.

DISCUSSION

This study performed the clinical validation of the risk factors of the nursing diagnosis “Risk for delayed child development” proposed by NANDA-I through the evaluation of children from 0 to 3 years of age in the primary health network and in a secondary care service.

The children’s health booklet(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
) was the instrument for evaluating the reference CD for comparison of the diagnosis under analysis. This is an important and easily accessible instrument to identify development issues and one of its advantages is using risk factors to classify children(1818. Sania A, Sudfeld CR, Danaei G, Fink G, McCoy DC, Zhu Z, et al. Early life risk factors of motor, cognitive and language development: a pooled analysis of studies from low/middle-income countries. BMJ. 2019;(9):1-13. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2018-026449
http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2018-0...
), which was also considered when it was selected for this study.

Although the risk factors included in the classifications of the health booklet(1313. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Caderneta de Saúde da Criança: menina. Passaporte para a cidadania [Internet]. 9. ed. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2014. [cited 2018 Mar 8]. Available from: https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoes/caderneta_saude_crianca_menina_9ed.pdf
https://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicaco...
) cover aspects of the child and the family, these do not include aspects of care and stimulation, nor social and economic conditions, which were pointed out in the literature review as important risk factors for CD(1010. Souza JM, Cruz DALMD, Veríssimo MÓR. Child development: new diagnoses for the NANDA International. Int J Nurs Knowl. 2018;29(2):112-6. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/2047-3095.12167.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5216/ree.v20.45041...
). The wider scope of risk factors of the proposed diagnosis for NANDA-I considers the wide variability of factors that influence CD(1919. Venancio SI, Bortoli MC, Frias PG, Giugliani ER, Alves CR, Santos MO. Development and validation of an instrument for monitoring child development indicators. J Pediatr (Rio J). 2020;96(6):778-89. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jped.2019.10.008. PubMed PMID: 31794693.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jped.2019.10...
) and favors raising awareness of professionals to aspects that are not always evaluated during the childcare consultation, such as: the care and interactions of caregivers with children, affective bonds, organization and establishment of limits, in addition to the environment in which children grow and develop(88. Souza JM, Veríssimo MLÓR. Desenvolvimento infantil: análise de um novo conceito. Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2015;23(6):1097-104. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0104-1169.0462.2654. PubMed PMID: 26626001.

,2020. Atashbahar O, Sari AA, Takian A, Olyaeemanesh A, Mohamadi E, Barakati SH. The impact of social determinants of health on early childhood development: a qualitative context analysis in Iran. BMC Public Health. 2022;22(1):1149. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12889-022-13571-5. PubMed PMID: 35676642.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12889-022-135...
). Given that such aspects can produce negative impacts for CD, the inclusion of risk factors in a scoring system for CD evaluation is an innovation that enables the early identification of children with delayed CD(2121. Araujo DM, Rovere NC, Lima MCMP. Development of infants with a risk indicator for hearing loss associated to living enviroment.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pcl.2017.03....
).

However, there is a need to improve the definition of parameters, the choice of indicators, and the awareness of professionals regarding their application(2323. Alvim CG, Guimarães FG, Meinberg NLS, Aguiar LT, Caetano LCG, Carrusca LC, et al. A avaliação do desenvolvimento infantil: um desafio interdisciplinar. Rev Bras Educ Med. 2012;36(1):51-6. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-55022012000200007
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-55022012...
). Such concern with the definition of parameters and the choice of risk indicators of the proposed diagnosis guided this validation study.

Regarding the measures of accuracy, specificity values were observed to be higher than those of sensitivity. These results are similar to those found in other studies that used CD assessment instruments(2323. Alvim CG, Guimarães FG, Meinberg NLS, Aguiar LT, Caetano LCG, Carrusca LC, et al. A avaliação do desenvolvimento infantil: um desafio interdisciplinar. Rev Bras Educ Med. 2012;36(1):51-6. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-55022012000200007
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-55022012...
,2424. Scharf RJ, Maphula A, Pullen PC, Shrestha R, Matherne GP, Roshan R, et al. Global Disability: empowering children of all abilities. Pediatr Clin North Am. 2017;64(4):769-84. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pcl.2017.03.002. PubMed PMID: 28734509.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pcl.2017.03....
). Although it is desirable that the evaluation instruments, in general, have high values of sensitivity and specificity, in the case of CD, these values are not reached, possibly because aspects of various dimensions are evaluated, which, in isolation, may not damage development. This requires continued and broad child monitoring.

Thus, the use of CD assessment instruments and the classification of the diagnosis of children under 5 years of age is unreliable when performed only once, because children in this age group experience widely varied changes, and frequent evaluations are required during their growth(1919. Venancio SI, Bortoli MC, Frias PG, Giugliani ER, Alves CR, Santos MO. Development and validation of an instrument for monitoring child development indicators. J Pediatr (Rio J). 2020;96(6):778-89. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jped.2019.10.008. PubMed PMID: 31794693.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-55022012...
), since the tests are not predictive and only produce results that classify the situation of a particular moment.

Studies on the use of screening tests for the evaluation of CD have been discussed by some authors and reinforce the use of tools involving expanded aspects of CD(1616. Donald KA, Wedderburn CJ, Barnett W, Nhapi RT, Rehman AM, Stadler JAM, et al. Risk and protective factors for child development: an observational South African birth cohort. PLoS Med. 2019;16(9):e1002920. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1002920. PubMed PMID: 31560687.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2018-0...
). In this sense, the proposal for child evaluation should focus more than the acquisition of skills, including other aspects related to development, such as the risk factors proposed in this study, in order to make development monitoring integral.

There were three significant statistical associations of risk factors with the absence of CD milestones: “Genetic disorders”, “Congenital disorders”, and “Impaired cognitive development of parents”, similar to research results that emphasize these factors as associated with delayed CD(1919. Venancio SI, Bortoli MC, Frias PG, Giugliani ER, Alves CR, Santos MO. Development and validation of an instrument for monitoring child development indicators.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jped.2019.05...
). Similarly, genetic and congenital disorders are pointed out as factors that have important neurological consequences for children(2626.

).

The wide scope of the CD dimensions corroborates the relevance of expanded interventions to promote development in early childhood. This has been emphasized by international organizations, such as the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO), and Brazilian laws, such as the Legal Framework for Early Childhood (Marco Legal para primeira infância), which advocate actions and involvement from various sectors in order to promote favorable conditions to integral child development in early childhood(2828.

).

Based on the above, the application of the nursing diagnosis “Risk for delayed child development” in the practice of nurses contributes to the early identification of risk factors for delayed CD and favors effective interventions.

Study Limitations

Sample size, as well as the single-moment cross-sectional evaluation, may have limited the association of some risk factors with the absence of developmental milestones. In future studies, it is recommended the continued effort to refine the nursing diagnosis “Risk for delayed child development” in order to obtain more clarity regarding the data acquisition and better responses in accuracy tests.

Implications for Nursing

The clinical validation of a diagnosis ensures a basis and the refinement of the practice of nurses in CD surveillance by encouraging them to attend to risk factors. The use of diagnoses tested in care practice provides the professional with a precise and safe classification of this diagnosis. Nursing diagnoses of the risk of delayed CD covering broad aspects, such as those studied in this research, contribute to an expanded evaluation and performance of nursing regarding child development.

CONCLUSIONS

This study tested in clinical practice attributes considered as risk factors for the nursing diagnosis “Risk for delayed CD” of the NANDA-I taxonomy. The presence of all risk factors proposed for the diagnosis under study and the application of statistical tests contributed to a refined diagnostic accuracy, identifying three factors associated with the absence of developmental milestones: genetic disorder, congenital disorder, and impaired cognitive development of parents.
