Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Objective: to describe the profile of nursing diagnoses evidenced in indigenous elderly in the community.

Methods: this is a cross-sectional study, carried out with 51 indigenous elderly people of Potiguara ethnicity, through a nursing consultation. The clinical data, obtained from the consultation, were analyzed following Risner’s diagnostic reasoning process and the NANDA-I Taxonomy (2018-2020). For greater accuracy, the diagnoses obtained underwent peer review by a specialist.

Results: 37 diagnoses were identified, such as Impaired dentition (98.0%), Risk for impaired skin integrity (66.7%), Chronic pain (64.7%), Risk for deficient fluid volume (54.9%), Impaired swallowing (45.1%), Impaired walking (45.1%), Disturbed sleep pattern (43.1%), Stress urinary incontinence (41.2%), Risk for falls (35.3%), and Sexual dysfunction (33.3%).

Conclusion: the diagnoses identified were predominantly from Safety/protection domain and result from factors that negatively influence indigenous elderly’s functional capacity.
