ABSTRACT
Objective:
to map Nursing diagnoses, outcomes and interventions for factors that affect aged people's sexuality.
Method:
a descriptive study that used the cross-mapping method to establish the links between the NANDA-International Nursing diagnoses, outcomes and interventions, the Nursing Outcomes Classification and the Nursing Interventions Classification, for the factors that affect sexuality identified in aged residents from a public gerontological center in the city of Aguascalientes, Mexico. The data were collected between April and September 2021. A phenomenological study revealed the elements that affect sexuality; subsequently, the Nursing diagnoses were mapped and links with Nursing outcomes and interventions were established, based on specialists' consensus.
Results:
a total of 11 Nursing diagnoses were mapped, more prevalent among the Perception/Cognition, Self-perception and Health Promotion domains from the NANDA-International taxonomy; as well as 10 different Nursing outcomes from the Nursing Outcomes Classification belonging to the Functional Health, Physiological Health, Psychosocial Health and Health Knowledge and Behavior domains; and 11 Nursing interventions, in the Basic Physiological and Behavioral domains from the Nursing Interventions Classification.
Conclusion:
Nursing diagnoses, outcomes and interventions were identified, addressing the recognized factors that affect aged people's sexuality.
