Diagnóstico de enfermagem risco de olho seco e ressecamento ocular em pacientes adultos internados em unidade de terapia intensiva. 2016. 100f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Enfermagem) - Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2016.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/22108This study aimed to identify the Nursing Diagnosis (ND) Dry Eye Risk NANDA-International and ocular dryness in adult patients admitted into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This is a cross-sectional study done into the adult ICU of the University Hospital Onofre Lopes. The final sample consisted of 206 patients. An instrument composed of related variables to the sociodemographic data, clinical and risk factors in the study was used for data collection. Inference for the presence of the diagnosis in the patients was performed by nurse diagnosticians. All data collected were organized and stored in a database built by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0 for testing. For the discriptive analysis, frequency, measures of the destribution center and it‟s variabilities were considered. To compare means, the Student t test was applied for independent samples. In the case of asymmetry, the Mann-Whitney test was used. For associative measurements, Pearson's chi-squared test was used, and when the expected frequencies were lower than five, Fisher's test was applied. The magnitude of the association was verified by the prevalence ratio. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte and is funded by the National Scientific and Technological Development Council - CNPq, process n ° 444290 / 2014-1. Of the 206 patients, 52.4% were male, the mean age was 58.41 years and 57.6% lived in the countryside of Rio Grande do Norte. According to the type of hospitalization, 50.5% were surgical (27.7% emergency surgery / emergency and elective surgery 22.8%) and 49.5% were clinics. About comorbidities, 59.7% had hypertension and 31.6% diabetes mellitus. Of the total sample, 47.6% of patients showed the ND in the study. Thus, 52.4% have had a clinical diagnosis of ocular dryness. In the analysis by eye, 56.8% had the ND, while ocular dryness was present in 43.2% of the eyes. The most prevalent risk factors were: environmental factors and treatment regimen (100%), mechanical ventilation therapy (52.4%), aging (51.0%), neurological lesions with sensory motor reflex loss (50.0%), female gender (47.6%) and lifestyle (36.4%). The absence of the following clinical features showed statistically significant association with the presence of ND studied in the right eye (RE): gastrointestinal disorder as the main reason for the hospitalization, lagophthalmos in the RE, lagophthalmos in the left eye (LE), LE hyperemia, RE mucous secretion, RE eyelid edema, RE proptosis and use of anti-inflammatory. The presence of hyperemia in the RE was significant for the absence of ND in the RE. Regarding the LE, there was a statistically significant association between corneal-palpebral reflex RE with the ND's presence in the LE. Moreover, the absence of other clinical characteristics was significant to the ND's presence in the LE: LE hyperemia, RE and LE eyelid edema, LE mucous secretion and use of neuromuscular blockers. Still, there was a significant relationship between the presence of hyperemia in the RE, and the absence of ND in the LE. Regarding the analysis of ocular dryness in the RE, the absence of certain clinical characteristics was statistically significant for the absence of dryness in the RE like gastrointestinal disorder as the reason for the hospitalization, lagophthalmos in the RE and LE, hyperemia in LE, mucous secretion in RE, RE eyelid edema, RE proptosis and use of anti-inflammatory. However, the presence of hyperemia in the RE showed meaning to the presence in the dryness of the RE. Concerning ocular dryness in the LE, the presence of corneal-palpebral reflex in RE showed a statistically significant relationship with the absence of ocular dryness in LE. Ocular hyperemia present in RE and dryness in the LE also showed association. Nevertheless, the absence of ocular hyperemia in LE, mucous secretion in the LE, eyelid edema in RE and LE and the non use of neuromuscular blockers were significantly associated with the absence of ocular dryness in LE. The difference among Schirmers posts‟ means in the RE and LE showed significant relation between the presence and the ausence of the ND and ocular dryness in the RE and LE. The magnitude of the association demonstrates that the presence of ND in the RE is almost four times greater for the presence of ND in the LE. Thus, the knowledge gained has valued relevance when it comes to ensure an action directed to the prevention of ocular dryness in ICU patients.Acesso AbertoEnfermagemProcessos de enfermagemDiagnóstico de enfermagemSíndromes do olho secoUnidades de terapia intensivamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::ENFERMAGEM
