- Abstract
Objective: To discuss the applicability of the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) in the light of the Comfort Theory, relating the range of care areas described in this instrument to the comfort contexts proposed in Kolcaba's theory. Methodology: theoretical study, critical analysis, based on the principles of Kolcaba comfort theory. Reflection: the activities evaluated by the NAS are congruent with the contexts of comfort proposed in the Kolcaba theory, and can contribute to the promotion of comfort. It is noted, however, that there are fewer items to evaluate the sociocultural, psycho-spiritual and environmental contexts. Most activities value the organic and biological needs of patients. Considerations: Although the activities of the NAS are consistent with the comfort contexts proposed by Kolcaba, it cannot be said that the care provided will be fully compatible with the theoretical assumptions, requiring further studies for clinical validation.
