Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the nursing diagnosis of delayed surgical recovery, its defining characteristics and related factors according to NANDA-I taxonomy, through an integrative review. 34 articles were selected from MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, and BDENF databases. In these, the delayed surgical recovery diagnosis was identified in a study. However, it was possible to identify the defining characteristics: difficulty to move about (36.4%) which requires help to complete self-care (27.3%) and the evidence of interrupted healing of the surgical site (27.3%). Additionally, the related factors were: pain (34.2%), postoperative surgical site infection (31.7%), postoperative expectations (31.7%), and obesity (2.4%). Other identified related factors were: advanced age (38.9%), diabetes mellitus (22.2%) and nutritional deficiency (16.7%). In conclusion, the diagnosis deals with a phenomenon of nursing surgical practice, recommended for the monitoring and standardized documentation of complications that may delay recovery and hospital discharge.
