- Abstract
Purpose To analyze the frequency of the nursing diagnosis disturbed thought processes ( DTP) (00130) in a sample of psychiatric and psychogeriatric patients in medium- and long-term units and to describe those factors associated with its presence. Methods A secondary analysis of the data obtained in a multicentric and cross-sectional study developed in Spain was undertaken. Findings The total sample was 624 patients, from which 39.4% ( n = 246) had the nursing diagnosis DTP. A statistically significant relationship between the presence of DTP and different variables was found. Conclusions The nursing diagnosis DTP is very frequent among psychiatric and psychogeriatric institutionalized patients. Implications for Nursing Practice Patients with DTP may require a more complex nursing attention as its presence is associated with specific care needs.
