Diagnósticos de enfermagem e problemas adaptativos de Roy em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica

Abstract

Objective: To identify the nursing diagnoses of the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA International) in patients who underwent bariatric surgery, during the postoperative period, and their relation to adaptation problems according to the Roy Adaptation Model. Method: This is an exploratory, multicase study carried out in a reference hospital for bariatric surgeries in the state of Ceará, Brazil, from November to December 2018. Data collection took place through interviews and physical examination using a structured instrument with the four modes of adaptation of the Roy Adaptation Model. Results: In this study, 21 nursing diagnoses were identified, which were related to the following adaptation problems: impaired breathing, difficulty dressing up, nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, sleep pattern, chewing, obesity control, low self-esteem, social interaction, healthy organism, anxiety, self-care, satisfaction with appearance, spirituality, healthy relationship, knowledge, and communication. Conclusion: Wellness nursing diagnoses predominated, which suggests that the performance of bariatric surgery and the obtained results, such as weight loss, increased disposition, and improved health status, positively influence the postoperative adaptation process.
