ABSTRACT
Objective:
to identify nursing diagnoses in infants with isolated Robin Sequence.
Method:
a descriptive study developed in a hospital specialized in craniofacial anomalies and related syndromes, from November 2015 to March 2016. Twenty infants with isolated Robin Sequence participated in the study. For the data collection, the nursing history was used. The nursing diagnoses were listed according to Nanda-International. To compose the results, a descriptive statistical analysis was used.
Results:
eight diagnoses were identified, five of which focused on the problem and three on risk factors, including: risk of aspiration (n=20, 100%); risk of infection (n=20, 100%); ineffective breastfeeding (n=19, 95%); unbalanced nutrition lower than body needs (n=19, 95%); ineffective infant feeding pattern (n=19, 95%); risk of damage to skin integrity (n=18, 90%); ineffective airway clearance (n=11, 55%) and impaired spontaneous ventilation (n=11, 55%).
Conclusion:
infants with isolated Robin Sequence presented nursing diagnoses that were related to respiratory, feeding, safety and comfort problems and favored the planning and implementation of nursing care when tracing a care profile.
