Purpose:
To clarify the concept of risk for delayed surgical recovery (00246) and to define the empirical referents for identification of predictive factors of delay in recovery.
Method:
A concept analysis was developed based on the eight steps proposed by Walker and Avant.
Results:

Resultados:
Foram determinados os atributos definidores e identificados seus antecedentes e consequentes. Foram propostos casos e estabelecidas as referências empíricas. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados proporcionaram evidências e instrumentalização das referências empíricas, o que pode auxiliar na acurácia do diagnóstico de enfermagem. IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A PRÁTICA DE ENFERMAGEM: Esta clarificação poderá contribuir para o retorno do paciente às atividades diárias em um tempo mais curto e promoção da segurança cirúrgica.
