Cross-sectional study that aimed to compare the data reported in a system for the indication of pressure ulcer (PU) care quality, with the nursing evolution data available in the patients' medical records, and to describe the clinical profile and nursing diagnosis of those who developed PU grade 2 or higher Sample consisted of 188 patients at risk for PU in clinical and surgical units. Data were collected retrospectively from medical records and a computerized system of care indicators and statistically analyzed. Of the 188 patients, 6 (3%) were reported for pressure ulcers grade 2 or higher; however, only 19 (10%) were recorded in the nursing evolution records, thus revealing the underreporting of data. Most patients were women, older adults and patients with cerebrovascular diseases. The most frequent nursing diagnosis was risk of infection. The use of two or more research methodologies such as incident reporting data and retrospective review of patients' records makes the results trustworthy.

Identification and definition of the components of the new nursing diagnosis should aid nurses to prevent pressure ulcer events.

Objective:To analyze the clinical profi le, nursing diagnoses, and nursing care established for postoperative bariatric surgery patients. Method: Cross-sectional study carried out in a hospital in southern Brazil with a sample of 143 patients. Data were collected retrospectively from electronic medical records between 2011 and 2012 and analyzed statistically. Results:We found a predominance of adult female patients (84%) with class III obesity (59.4%) and hypertension (72%). Thirty-fi ve nursing diagnoses were reported, among which the most frequent were: Acute Pain (99.3%), Risk for perioperative positioning injury (98.6%), and Impaired tissue integrity (93%). The most frequently prescribed nursing care were: to use protection mechanisms in the surgical patient positioning, to record pain as 5th vital sign, and to take vital signs. There was an association between age and comorbidities. Conclusion:The nursing diagnoses supported the nursing care prescription, which enables the qualifi cation of nursing assistance.

RESUMO RESUMEN Objetivo:Analizar el perfi l clínico, diagnósticos de enfermería y cuidados de enfermería establecidos para los pacientes en postoperatorio de cirugía bariátrica. Método: Estudio transversal con la muestra de 143 pacientes. El estudio se realizó entre 2011-2012, en un hospital en el sur de Brasil. Los datos fueron recolectados retrospectivamente de los registros médicos electrónicos y analizados estadísticamente. Resultados: Se identifi caron pacientes femeninas adultas (84%), con obesidad clase III (59,4%), hipertensión (72%) y con 35 diagnósticos de enfermería, siendo los más frecuentes: el Dolor agudo (99,3%), Riesgo de lesión perioperatoria de posicionamiento (98,6%) y la Integridad del tejido deteriorado (93%). Entre los cuidados de enfermería prescritos los más utilizados fueron: utilizar los mecanismos de protección en el posicionamiento quirúrgico del paciente, registrar el dolor como quinto signo vital y verifi car los signos vitales. Se observó una asociación entre la edad y las comorbilidades. Conclusión: Los diagnósticos de enfermería apoyaron la prescripción de los cuidados de enfermería, lo que permite califi car la asistencia de enfermería. Palabras clave: Cirugía bariátrica.

Objective: to evaluate the complications of percutaneous renal biopsy based on outcomes and clinical indicators of the Nursing Outcomes Classification. Method: a prospective longitudinal study. The sample consisted of 13 patients submitted to percutaneous renal biopsy, with 65 evaluations. The patients were evaluated in five moments in the 24 hours after the procedure, using an instrument developed by the researchers based on five outcomes (Blood coagulation, Circulation status, Blood loss severity, Pain level, Comfort status: Physical) and 11 indicators. The Generalized Estimation Equation Test was used to compare the scores of the indicators. The project was approved by the institutional ethics committee. Results: in the 65 evaluations, a statistically significant difference was identified in the reduction of the scores of the following nursing outcomes: Blood coagulation, “hematuria” indicator; Circulation status, in the “systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure” indicators and Comfort status: physical, in the “physical well-being” indicator. Conclusion: the evaluated patients did not show major complications. The clinical indicators signaled changes in circulation status, with reduced blood pressure, as well as in blood clotting observed by hematuria, but without hemodynamic instability. The comfort status was affected by the rest time after the procedure.

Objetivos: selecionar indicadores clínicos dos resultados de Enfermagem Coagulação Sanguínea (0409), Estado Circulatório (0401), Gravidade da perda de Sangue (0413), Nível de dor (2102) e Estado de Conforto: físico (2010) da Nursing Outcomes Classification e elaborar suas definições conceituais e operacionais para avaliação de pacientes submetidos à biópsia renal percutânea. Método: estudo de consenso de especialistas realizado em um hospital universitário do Sul do Brasil. A amostra foi de 12 especialistas. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de formulário eletrônico no Google Forms, no qual foram listados os indicadores clínicos a serem selecionados para avaliar pacientes submetidos ao procedimento de biópsia renal. Foram selecionados os indicadores que obtiveram concordância mínima de 80% entre os especialistas. Os dados foram organizados em um quadro para a elaboração das definições de cada indicador. Resultados: foram selecionados 11 indicadores clínicos: sangramento, hematoma, hematúria, pressão arterial sistólica, pressão arterial diastólica, distensão abdominal, palidez da pele e das mucosas, dor relatada, expressões faciais de dor, bem-estar físico e posição confortável. Posteriormente, com base na literatura, foram elaboradas as definições conceituais e operacionais para esses indicadores. Conclusão: os indicadores clínicos selecionados estão em consonância com as possíveis complicações da biópsia renal percutânea descritas na literatura, podendo auxiliar os enfermeiros na avaliação dos pacientes submetidos ao procedimento. Infere-se que as definições conceituais e operacionais reduzem a subjetividade e facilitam avaliações mais acuradas dos pacientes na prática clínica.
