Objective:
To analyze the content of nursing diagnoses related to urinary incontinence according to NANDA International and others identified in the literature.
Method:
Methodological study conducted with judges who were experts in urinary dysfunctions and nursing diagnosis. The analysis included diagnoses of Stress Urinary Incontinence, Urgency Urinary Incontinence, Functional Urinary Incontinence, Urinary Incontinence due to Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity (previously denominated Reflex Urinary Incontinence in NANDA International's taxonomy), Mixed Urinary Incontinence, and Transient Urinary Incontinence. Wilcoxon test was applied and Content Validity Index ≥ 0.85 was considered appropriate.
Results:
Fifty-one judges participated in this study. The judges recommended modifications in elements of all diagnoses (inclusion, exclusion or change of previous element type).
Conclusion:
The four diagnoses analyzed in NANDA International's taxonomy are recommended to be maintained with modifications; inclusion of nursing diagnoses Mixed and Transient Urinary Incontinence is also recommended.
