NANDA-I nursing diagnoses for patients on hemodialysis: a scoping review

Abstract

The aim was to map the NANDA-I nursing diagnoses prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. This was a scoping review conducted using the JBI method, following the flowchart of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Searches were performed in bibliographic and gray literature databases. There were no time or language restrictions. Twenty articles were identified, in which the nursing diagnoses prevalent in this population were mapped. Notable nursing diagnoses include: Ineffective protection, Risk for electrolyte imbalance, Impaired urinary elimination, Impaired physical mobility, Deficient knowledge, Risk for relocation stress syndrome, Anxiety, Fear, Risk for infection, Risk for shock, Impaired skin integrity, Risk for impaired skin integrity, Impaired tissue integrity, Risk for bleeding, Risk for vascular trauma, Risk for contamination, Risk for adverse reaction to iodinated contrast medium, Risk for allergic reaction, and Risk for hypothermia. Knowledge of nursing diagnoses prevalent in specific groups facilitates the development of a tailored care plan and enables the enhancement of the nursing process and the science of care.
