Objective: to describe the frequency of nursing diagnoses in hospitalized children. Methods: this is a crosssectional study carried out in a hospital for children, from 738 medical records. Data analysis was based on descriptive statistics. Results: a frequency of 2,100 nursing diagnoses was identified, distributed in 15 diagnostic concepts, six domains, and 12 classes, according to NANDA-I Taxonomy II. The most prevalent diagnoses were: ineffective respiratory pattern (18.7%), hyperthermia (15.2%), impaired sleep pattern (11.1%), unbalanced nutrition: less than body needs (10.8%), fear (9.3%), acute pain (7.1%) and diarrhea (6.7%). Conclusion: five nursing diagnoses were described in hospitalized children: "ineffective respiratory pattern", "hyperthermia", "diarrhea", "fear" and "acute pain". The first three diagnoses are closely related to the conditions that determine the major causes of hospitalization in childhood: acute respiratory infections and gastroenteritis.

Métodos: estudo transversal, realizado em uma unidade hospitalar infantil, a partir de 738 prontuários. A análise dos dados baseou-se na estatística descritiva. Resultados: identificou-se frequência de 2.100 diagnósticos de enfermagem distribuídos em 15 conceitos de diagnósticos, seis domínios e 12 classes, conforme a Taxonomia II da NANDA-I. Os mais prevalentes foram: padrão respiratório ineficaz (18,7%), hipertermia (15,2%), padrão de sono prejudicado (11,1%), nutrição desequilibrada: menor do que as necessidades corporais (10,8%), medo (9,3%), dor aguda (7,1%) e diarreia (6,7%). Conclusão: foram descritos cinco diagnósticos de enfermagem mais incidentes em crianças hospitalizadas "padrão respiratório ineficaz", "hipertermia", "diarreia" "medo" e "dor aguda". Destes, os três primeiros apresentam estreita relação com as condições que determinam as maiores causas de hospitalização na infância: infecções respiratórias agudas e gastroenterites.
