FARIAS DE QUEIROZ FRAZAO, Cecília Maria et al. Nursing diagnoses and adaptation problems among chronic renal patients. Invest. educ. enferm [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.1, pp.119-127. ISSN 0120-5307.

Objective. To identify similarities between NANDA International nursing diagnoses and Roy’s adaptation model among chronic renal patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methodology. Cross-sectional and descriptive study with 178 individuals selected, through consecutive convenience sampling, in a dialysis center located in the Northeast of Brazil. The study was conducted between October 2011 and February 2012. Data collection instruments included an interview form and a physical assessment. Results. Similarity was found between 20 nursing diagnoses and 22 adaptation problems. Roy’s adaptation modes that presented these relationships were: physiological, self-conception and role function. Conclusion. There are similarities between the two typologies. Furthermore, the use of the nursing process from the perspective of a theory inherent to the field supports care delivery and strengthens scientific knowledge in the profession.
