The nursing process is the orienting method that guides the actions of nurses in daily professional practice, and it offers a structure that is
Concordant with the individual needs of the patient, the family, and of the community, representing the main methodological instrument for
the systematic performance of The Necessary conditions to provide care and documentation in nursing practice [1].
The nursing process has five steps: a data collection, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. In theory, Reviews These phases are
limited; however, in practice, they represent a group of interdependent actions and then, in turn, when evaluating the patient, hypotheses
emerge and lead to diagnoses that Determine the care, the which will be implemented and re-evaluated [2].
In the present study , one phase of the nursing process stands out: the nursing diagnosis (ND). Defined as a clinical judgment about the
client's, the family's, or the community's responses to health problems / vital, actual, or potential processes, the ND Provides the basis for
the selection of nursing interventions aiming to Achieve the results for the which the nurse is responsible [3].
In this phase, the nurse must analyze the data is collected during the assessment and Evaluate the health condition of the patient. In a clinical
reasoning process, needs are identified from the interpretation and grouping of the collected data. Some of the Conclusions the resulting from
this process will lead to the ND, others will not [4]. Once an ND is inferred, an outcome to be Reached is determined and a double commitment
is created: to Intervene and, subsequently, to Evaluate, the efficacy of the performed intervention [5].
The use of the ND has brought some advantages to the practice, such as the holistic approach to the patient, the acquisition of a proprietary
body of knowledge, the search for improvement in the quality of the service Provided, and the fostering of continuous improvement of nurses
[6]. Moreover, when using the nursing process, nurses begin to gain more information on the which to base Reviews their interventions, since the ND is
Considered to be the guide for the selection of the most adequate interventions to Achieve the desired outcomes for each individual in the
context of care [7].
in light of this, it is Believed that, in oncology hospital services, the nursing process with emphasis on the diagnosis phase is essential to the
oncology hospital services due to a high frequency of physical and psychological problems that compromise the quality of life of Patients
undergoing cancer treatment.
Cancer represents more than physical pain and discomfort. It Affects the patient's life goals, family, work, and income. His / her mobility,
body image, and lifestyle can be Temporarily or permanently drastically Altered [8]. Therefore, the nurse has a great responsibility in the
planning of nursing assistance in oncology, especially regarding decision-making and actions oriented to solving the problems identified in
the diagnostic phase of the process.
In Brazil, cancer is Considered to be the second most common cause of death, and Approximately 576.580 new cases of the disease are
expected for the year 2014. The most common types will be melanoma (182,000), prostate cancer (69,000), breast cancer (57,000), cancer
of the colon and rectum (33,000 ), lung cancer (27,000) and stomach cancer (20,000) [9].
in light of Reviews These estimations, and knowing that, frequently, cancer Patients need to be hospitalized to receive treatment, nurses working in
oncology hospital services must provide care focusing on the needs of the individual, using the ND as a tool for the standardized identification
of outcomes aiming to Achieve or maintain the best health condition of Patients [10].
Considering the lack of publications on the ND in oncology and the fact that the knowledge of the most common of NDS in this field can Strengthen
the nursing process and provide more information on the which oncology nurses can base Reviews their decision-making actions, the selection of the best
interventions and the performance of a competent clinical practice, the goal of this study is to identify the most common NDS Among adults /
seniors hospitalized with cancer.
