[Characterization of nursing diagnoses of patients in a cardiology unit].
This retrospective, descriptive-exploratory study aimed to formulate the most frequent nursing diagnoses (ND) among inpatients with ischemic heart disease and its association with sociodemographic and clinical data. Data collection was carried out by an instrument based on defining characteristics and risk factors (Taxonomy II, North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International) and submitted to descriptive and inferential analyses to test the association between ND and demographic and clinical data. Seventy-seven ND were formulated, and 18 ND were above 75 percentile. From those ND, 15 were associated to at least one sociodemographic or clinical variable as gender, age, marital status, professional activity and associated clinical condition.
