Nursing diagnoses of Icnp® in patients undergoing surgical treatment for penis cancer

Abstract: Objective: formulating nursing diagnoses in patients undergoing surgical treatment for penis cancer using the ICNP®. Methods: an exploratory descriptive study performed at a University Hospital. Fourteen records of patients hospitalized between 2006 and 2010 were reviewed. The terms found on nursing records were listed on a spreadsheet using the Seven Axis model, then cross-mapped with those listed on ICNP® version 1.0. Results: nineteen nursing diagnoses were found, which were related to wound healing, nutrition, elimination, mobility, sleep, pain, anxiety, self-image, self-esteem, and sexuality. Some terms required approximation as they were synonyms or were not included in the referred version. Conclusion: the terms used by nurses for patients undergoing surgery for penis cancer allowed the formulation of diagnoses that revealed needs that were compromised in face of the mutilating character and the involvement of sexuality in this process
