AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a nursing diagnosis focused on improving venous return by analyzing existing research.
- Using a systematic approach, the researchers reviewed 131 studies to identify key factors related to venous flow, finding that decreased venous flow is the main attribute linked to issues like peripheral edema and pain.
- The resulting nursing diagnosis includes detailed characteristics, related factors, at-risk groups, and associated conditions, framed within nursing practice guidelines for cardiovascular issues.
Article Abstract
Objectives: to develop a nursing diagnosis proposal focused on venous return.
Methods: this is a concept analysis according to the model proposed by Walker and Avant, which is operationalized through an integrative review. The study was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol recommendations.
Results: the analysis of the 131 studies allowed identifying attributes, antecedents and consequences. The most common attribute was decreased venous flow. The antecedents most frequently found were structural and/or functional valve deficiency, advanced age and peripheral venous thrombosis. The most common consequences were peripheral edema, venous ulcer and pain in the extremity.
Conclusions: the formulated nursing diagnosis was proposed as part of Domain 4, Activity/rest, in Class 4, Cardiovascular/pulmonary responses, with eight defining characteristics, five related factors, six at-risk populations and four associated conditions.
