Objective: to investigate the incidence of pressure injury in cancer patients of an intensive care unit. Method: A longitudinal study with 105 patients admitted to an oncological intensive care unit. The incidence rate was calculated as the number of events per 100 patient-days. Cumulative incidence was calculated both globally and according to selected characteristics, and submitted to hypothesis tests. Results: incidence rate per 100 patient-days was 1.32, and global cumulative incidence was 29.5%. A higher incidence was observed in patients with chronic diseases who had at least one episode of diarrhea, received enteral nutrition, and took vasoactive or sedative drugs for a prolonged period of time. Regarding type of tumour and antineoplastic treatments, no differences in incidence were observed. Conclusion: A high cumulative global incidence of pressure lesion was reported in cancer patients admitted to the intensive care unit, although tumour characteristics and antineoplastic treatments did not affect incidence.
Identificar diagnósticos de enfermagem em pacientes com câncer submetidos à radioterapia. Estudo de revisão que reuniu, analisou e sintetizou resultados de artigos originais que identificaram diagnósticos de enfermagem da NANDA-I em pacientes com câncer submetidos à radioterapia. A busca por artigos foi realizada em cinco bases eletrônicas de dados a partir da combinação de descritores Nursing Process OR Nursing Diagnosis AND Radiotherapy OR Brachytherapy OR Radioisotope Teletherapy. Compuseram a revisão quatro artigos que permitiram a identificação de 33 diagnósticos de enfermagem, sendo 28 reais e cinco de risco, pertencentes a 20 classes de 10 domínios da NANDA-I. Metade dos artigos descreveu os seguintes diagnósticos de enfermagem: eliminação urinária prejudicada, constipação, diarreia, fadiga, disfunção sexual, risco de infecção e integridade da pele prejudicada. A identificação de 33 diagnósticos de enfermagem mostra a complexidade que envolve a assistência prestada a pacientes com câncer submetidos à radioterapia.Descritores: Processo de Enfermagem, Diagnóstico de Enfermagem, Radioterapia, Braquiterapia. Nursing diagnoses in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy: a review studyAbstract: To identify nursing diagnoses in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Review study that gathered, analyzed and synthesized results from original articles that identified nursing diagnoses from NANDA-I in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. The search for articles was carried out in five electronic databases based on the combination of descriptors Nursing Process OR Nursing Diagnosis AND Radiotherapy OR Brachytherapy OR Radioisotope Teletherapy. The review comprised four articles that allowed the identification of 33 nursing diagnoses, 28 of which were real and five of risk, belonging to 20 classes in 10 domains of NANDA-I. Half of the articles described the following nursing diagnoses: impaired urinary elimination, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, sexual dysfunction, risk of infection and impaired skin integrity. The identification of 33 nursing diagnoses shows the complexity involved in the care provided to cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.Descriptors: Nursing Process, Nursing Diagnosis, Radiotherapy, Brachytherapy.

La revisión se compuso de cuatro artículos que permitieron identificar 33 diagnósticos de enfermería (28 reales y cinco de riesgo) pertenecientes a 20 clases en 10 dominios de NANDA-I. La mitad de los artículos describían los siguientes diagnósticos de enfermería: deterioro de la eliminación urinaria, estreñimiento, diarrea, fatiga, disfunción sexual, riesgo de infección y deterioro de la integridad cutanea. La identificación de 33 diagnósticos de enfermería muestra la complejidad de la atención brindada a los pacientes oncológicos sometidos a radioterapia.Descriptores: Proceso de Enfermería, Diagnóstico de Enfermería, Radioterapia, Braquiterapia.
