Nursing diagnoses identified in the care of people undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a scoping review protocol

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death worldwide, killing an average of 17.9 million people a year. In terms of techniques and procedures, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention is the most used hemodynamic procedure in Acute Coronary Syndrome and Coronary Artery Disease. The nurse's role in relation to these procedures is developed in three phases: before, during, and after the procedure, with their diagnostic activity being essential in identifying and preventing complications. Objective: Mapping the nursing diagnoses identified by nurses working in hemodynamic services in the care of people undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Method: Scoping Review according to the methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute, and the search will be carried out using the Nursing & Allied Health Collection: Comprehensive and CINAHL (via EBSCOhost) and MEDLINE (via PubMED) databases. The selection of articles will follow the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews. Results: This review is expected to identify and describe the nursing diagnoses present in nurses' clinical practice when caring for individuals undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The data obtained should contribute to a broader understanding of the diagnostic approaches used in this clinical context, providing a foundation for future research and for the enhancement of professional nursing practice. Conclusions: The identification of nursing diagnoses is expected to contribute to the development of better nursing practices and to the clinical outcomes of patients.
