- Abstract
Objective: To identify nursing diagnoses through the NANDA-I classification, its defining characteristics and risk factors in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) in outpatient treatment. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive study, developed at the head and neck outpatient clinic of a university hospital in Fortaleza-Ceará. The study sample consisted of 92 patients with PHC over 18 years-old, treated from March 2016 to May 2017. The collection instrument used was previously validated by judges and used the theoretical model of functional health standards. The method of analysis used was the Delphi technique for inter- assessment expert consensus, and two rounds of evaluation were made. Results: Most participants were male, aged between 60 and 80 years old, with a smoking habit and alcohol use. The most common type of cancer was oral cavity. The most frequent nursing diagnoses were sedentary lifestyle (78.8%) and ineffective breathing pattern (76.8%). Conclusion: The domains most affected in the patients with HNC in the study were activity and rest and health promotion.
