Diagnósticos de enfermagem em uma unidade de alojamento conjunto: estudo piloto

Abstract

Introduction: Exclusive Breastfeeding should be encouraged until six months of life, providing nutritional, physiological, cognitive and immunological benefits. The Rooming-in is the place where the establishment of breastfeeding begins, and the nurse's assessment is essential. Objective: To identify the nursing diagnoses of NANDA-I related to breastfeeding in rooming-in. Methodology: Pilot study developed between April and June 2024 in the rooming-in of a hospital in the forest zone of Minas Gerais. Mothers and babies who were in the process of establishing breastfeeding participated in the research. Data collection was carried out using an instrument divided into three parts: sociodemographic characterization of the sample, breastfeeding evaluation form and nursing diagnoses for breastfeeding. Data analysis consisted of the description and frequency of the elements of the nursing diagnoses. Results: The study sample consisted of 18 mother-baby binomials. And the outstanding nursing diagnosis (ND) was Willingness to Improved Breastfeeding, which may be related to the encouragement of breastfeeding because the institution presents the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI). Conclusion: There is a need to encourage BFHI in all hospitals because the sphere created in the environment in which this initiative permeates brings positive results related to breastfeeding.
