Descripción
Sumario:This is a descriptive and exploratory study that aims to assess the most frequent nursing diagnoses among pregnant patients with hypertension from a public hospital. Ten pregnant patients underwent a semi - structured interview and a physical examination. Data collection tools were based on Gordon's Functional Health Patterns. Data were analyzed, categorized and synthesized following the hypothetical-deductive model of Gordon. Thirteen diagnoses were identified. The most frequent ones were: poor knowledge about the health problem; ineffective health maintenance; ineffective management of therapeutic regimen; anxiety; disturbed sleep pattern; disturbed body image; altered sexuality patterns and fluid volume excess. These results show us the main nursing problems that pregnant women with hypertension present. It also points out the need to improve health education practices in this population.
