- Abstract
PURPOSE: To construct a situation‐specific theory (SST) to represent nutritional deficits for assessing children with cancer. DATA SOURCES: Literature review. DATA SYNTHESIS: The SST included the definition of key concepts, a pictorial scheme, propositions, causal relationships, and evidence for nursing practice. CONCLUSIONS: It was possible to characterize the elements as antecedent and consequent clinical factors to allow for an understanding of the existing relationships between them and their temporality. These elements differed considerably from those included in NANDA International. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: This study provides additional information so that nurses in clinical practice can infer the presence of nutritional deficits in children with cancer early, given the risk already inherent in the diagnosis of cancer and treatment.
