Objectives: To identify useful terms for nursing practice in the care of people with leprosy and to cross-mapp the identified terms with the ICNP® terms. Method: A descriptive, documentary study that included publications of the Ministry of Health in the area of leprosy launched between 2002 and 2017. The terms identified in these publications were extracted and underwent a normalization proces and then, were cross-mapped with terms of the ICNP® version 2015 for the identification of constant and non-constant terms in this terminology. Results: In total, were extracted 1,177 terms, of which 26.76% were equal, 4.59% similar, 4.26% were broader, 19.62% were more restricted, and 44.77% were totally different from the ICNP® terms. Conclusions: The large number of terms identified and not included in the ICNP® show the need for its expansion in order to contemplate the phenomena of clinical practice more effectively and allow better representation of nursing care for people with leprosy.

“…14,15,17,23,24 Another factor that serves as a supporting argument for the existence of late diagnosis is the high proportion of cases with some type of physical disability at the time of diagnosis, which in this study was 36.25%. As leprosy is a long incubation disease and there is no neuromotor impairment at the onset of the disease, the presence of incapacity at diagnosis means that it was performed late.…”

Methods: The data relating to cases of leprosy was obtained from National System of Notifiable Diseases.

Epidemiological indicators related to physical incapacity were calculated. Results: The leprosy features high magnitude in the elderly population, with a coefficient of detection of new cases higher than the general population, situated at a hyperendemic level. As to the epidemiological profile of leprosy in elderly, stands out: men, age 60 to 69 years, white race, low education level, dimorphic clinical manifestation and multibacillary operational classification. 36.25% of diagnosed cases had a physical incapacity at the time of diagnosis, with emphasis on the masculine gender.

“…The selected articles (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) to compose the present integrative review present different levels of evidence. According to the level of evidence proposed by Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt (35) , two studies were classified in level IV (related to evidence from a cohort study) (14,24) and 12 studies were considered at the level of evidence VI, i.e., those that include evidence derived from a single descriptive or qualitative study (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(25)(26)(27) .…”

“…The search was made without using a temporal cut-off related to the year of publication of the studies and was performed using the indexed descriptors Leprosy and dis-charge (or Leprosy and Patient Discharge, for selection via MeSH), associated with the Boolean operator AND, obtaining a total of 145 publications. After exclusion according to the eligibility criteria and repeated publications, 14 articles (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) were included for the study, as explained in Flowchart 1. In order to carry out the analysis, in addition to the articles selected, we also searched for convenience, in a non-systematized way, publications (4,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34) of the authors' knowledge, because it is seen necessary and relevant for contextual analysis.…”

Resumo OBJETIVO Analisar as relações contextuais da atenção à saúde na alta em hanseníase. MÉTODO Estudo analítico pautado no referencial teórico de análise do contexto, elaborado mediante revisão integrativa de literatura nas bases de dados SCOPUS, PUBMED, LILACS, SCIELO e BDENF, com descritores Hanseníase e Alta do Paciente, obtendo-se 14 publicações. RESULTADOS O contexto imediato aborda a atenção em saúde na alta em hanseníase; o contexto específico trata da hanseníase como problema de saúde pública; as concepções simbólicas que envolvem a hanseníase são abarcadas pelo contexto geral; e no metacontexto estão descritos programas e políticas de saúde que subsidiam o atendimento à pessoa com hanseníase. CONCLUSÃO Os elementos contextuais ressaltam a necessidade de garantir a atenção em saúde para os casos de hanseníase, do diagnóstico até o pós-alta, reconhecendo a hanseníase como problema de saúde pública. Apesar das limitações dos estudos bibliográficos, estes possuem relevância para a área da saúde.
