Nursing diagnosis “hypothermia” in elderly patients with heart disease: cross-sectional study nested to the cohort

Keywords: Hypothermia, Body Temperature Regulation, Heart Diseases, Aged, Nursing Diagnosis

Abstract

Objective: to estimate the clinical profile and the prevalence of nursing diagnosis hypothermia and to identify its clinical indicators in elderly patients with cardiopathies. Method: cross-sectional study nested in the single retrospective cohort. Data were obtained from medical records of elderly patients admitted to the cardiological ward of a university hospital in the Brazilian Northeast, with collection and extraction from July to October 2018. The sample consisted of all participants aged over 60 years in the original study, resulting in 50 medical records. We applied a semi-structured script for data collection, which received descriptive statistical treatment and univariate association test with use of Pearson’s chi-square and Fisher’s exact test. For all analyses, IBM SPSS V 20.0 was used. Results: 54% of the sample presented hypothermia. The most prevalent clinical indicators were: use of pharmacological agent (100%), hypertension (86%) and inactivity (86%). Conclusion: the outcome of unintentional hypothermia in elderly patients with cardiopathies presented an important prevalence, having occurred in more than half of the sample. In this sense, nursing should be attentive to hypothermia in order to verify it accurately, prevent it or actively intervene in the thermal comfort of patients.
