The results suggest an opportunity for improved nursing intervention in this community. The nursing diagnoses in this population may be influenced by the socioeconomic/ clinical data. Nursing diagnoses within the NANDA-I domains of health promotion, nutrition, activity/rest, perception/cognition, sexuality, safety/protection, and comfort presented statistically significant association with the socioeconomic/ clinical data of age, education, sex, marital status, and duration of the chronic renal disease and hemodialysis. Cross-sectional study conducted by means of interview and physical examination of 178 patients consecutively selected.
To analyze the association between nursing diagnoses and socioeconomic/ clinical characteristics of patients on hemodialysis. Thyrotoxicosis should be included in the differential diagnosis when patients are admitted to the hospital with those symptoms.Īssociation Between Nursing Diagnoses and Socioeconomic/ Clinical Characteristics of Patients on Hemodialysis.įrazão, CecÃlia Maria Farias de Queiroz de Sá, Jéssica Dantas de Paiva, Maria das Graças Mariano Nunes Lira, Ana Luisa Brandão de Carvalho Lopes, Marcos VenÃcios de Oliveira Enders, Bertha Cruz Weakness, weight loss and palpitations were the main symptoms in patients diagnosed with thyrotoxicosis during hospitalization. The diagnoses on discharge were Graves' disease, subacute thyroiditis and multinodular goiter in 39.7, 34.5 and 8.9%, respectively. Sinus tachycardia and atrial fibrillation occurred in 65.5 and 15.5% of the patients, more common in those with hyperthyroidism. Sore throat was present in 41% of patients with thyroiditis. Weakness, weight loss and palpitations were the most common manifestations (50, 40 and 35%, respectively) and were predominantly present in patients with hyperthyroidism. Fifty-eight patients (36F/22M mean age 52.1 +/- 17.5 years) were identified. A retrospective computer-based search was undertaken to detect patients that were hospitalized in our medical centre during 1999-2006, and discharged with thyrotoxicosis or thyroiditis as the primary diagnosis. To determine the clinical characteristics of patients with thyrotoxicosis newly diagnosed during hospitalization. The prevalent symptoms in hospitalized patients with newly diagnosed thyrotoxicosis have not been fully characterized. Sometimes, however, thyrotoxicosis is first diagnosed in the hospital setting. The most common symptoms include irritability, heat intolerance, palpitations and weakness. Thyrotoxicosis is often diagnosed in an outpatient setting.
