Abstract

Introduction: Breastfeeding as a source of nutrition for up to two years or more and is beneficial for the health of both mother and baby. In rooming-in units, nurses play a fundamental role in providing instruction on breastfeeding, using the Nursing Process and Nursing Diagnoses to support their actions. Objective: to identify the frequency with which the NANDA-I Nursing Diagnosis “Readiness for Improved Breastfeeding” was identified in a rooming-in unit. Method: This is a cross-sectional pilot study with a quantitative approach to assess the frequency of the NANDA-I Nursing Diagnosis “Readiness for Improved Breastfeeding”, carried out in the rooming-in unit of a philanthropic hospital in Zona da Mata. Data collection was performed using a validated instrument and a form for observation and assessment of breastfeeding, and after evaluation, the diagnoses that best fit the binomial were listed. Results: Of the 18 binomials evaluated, 15 obtained the Nursing Diagnosis studied, evidencing a positive phenomenon related to breastfeeding. Conclusion: The use of Nursing Diagnoses is extremely important for nursing performance in joint accommodation, as they standardize care, facilitate communication between the team and support nursing actions in clinical practice.
