Objective:
To analyze the mapped nursing diagnoses included in the Urinary Function class, Elimination and Exchange domain of the NANDA International taxonomy, for Parkinson's disease patients from a rehabilitation program.
Methods:
A descriptive, cross mapping study whose primary source of data was 67 electronic medical records with five or more nursing assessments recorded. Electronic data collection was performed in three steps: identification of terms, mapping and validation.
Results:
The scope of the taxonomy was observed for identifying urinary changes. Seven nursing diagnoses were mapped. Impaired urinary elimination was the most common (60%) and, in most cases, was associated with other specific diagnoses, such as urge (55%), reflex (25%) stress (12%), overflow (10%) and functional urinary incontinence (6%).
Conclusion:
The analysis of the mapped nursing diagnoses indicates the complexity of urinary disturbances in patients with Parkinson's disease.
