Objective: To identify the measures of accuracy for defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis: Ineffective thermoregulation in newborns.
Method: Diagnostic accuracy study with cross-sectional design performed in medium and high-risk maternity units, located in Fortaleza city/Brazil. A total of 216 newborns were evaluated to identify the defining characteristics of the diagnosis under study.
Objective: to clinically validate the accuracy of the defining characteristics in nursing diagnoses of Hyperthermia in newborns.
Method: a cross-sectional study conducted in units of medium and high risk in a maternity from the city of Fortaleza-CE. A total of 216 newborns were evaluated to identify the defining characteristics of diagnoses.
Purpose: To analyze the accuracy of the defining characteristics of hypothermia in newborns and to verify associations between defining characteristics and clinical variables.
Methods: A cross-sectional accuracy study with statistical analysis.
Findings: Slow capillary refill, decrease in ventilation, peripheral vasoconstriction, and insufficient weight gain were the defining characteristics with the highest specificity values, while slow gastric emptying, skin cool to touch, irritability, and bradycardia were the defining characteristics with the highest values for both sensitivity and specificity.
