Revisão dos indicadores para o resultado de enfermagem relacionado à adaptação dos pais a hospitalização

Abstract

Parents' adaptation to their child's hospitalization requires constant nurse assessment, as the hospital environment creates stress for the family. The objective of the study was to identify in the literature indicators related to the Nursing Outcome “Parent Adaptation to Infant Hospitalization”, proposed by the Nursing Outcomes Classification. Thus, an Integrative Literature Review was carried out with the following guiding question: “How do parents of hospitalized children adapt?” The search covered studies from the PUBMED databases; CINAHL; SCOPUS; Web of Science; BDENF and EMBASE, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, published from 2018 to 2022. Seven studies were identified and categorized into three themes related to outcome indicators, namely: Parental involvement during hospitalization; Psycho-emotional, social and family support; and, Newborn care. 21 of the 23 Nursing Outcome indicators studied were identified. The importance of health professionals in the adaptive process of parents is observed, as well as their lack of preparation in caring for families. Using Nursing Result indicators, it is possible to more accurately assess how the parents' adaptation process occurs during the newborn's hospitalization period.
