Abstract

Pre-operative visit takes up the first phase in the systematization of perioperative nursing care. This study aimed at identifying the most frequent emotional nursing diagnoses - during the pre-operative visits to patients submitted to cancer surgery. In order to reach the proposed objective, an instrument was previously elaborated and validated for data collection. The sample consisted of 20 patients. Nursing diagnoses were identified through Risner’s reasoning diagnosis and after that, affirmative diagnoses were built having as reference NANDA’s nursing diagnoses. Twenty-two nursing diagnoses were identified, among them with frequency superior to 75% were as follows: Knowledge deficit, 80% and fear, 75%. In this study, we consider the importance of perioperative nursing visits to patients as a way to assist them systematically, objectifying prescription and implementation of a perioperative care planning by means of diagnostic identification.
