Purpose:
To analyze the diagnostic concept of "ineffective coping" (00069) proposed by NANDA-I, using Walker and Avant's framework.
Data Sources:
The theoretical framework of Walker and Avant was used for the concept analysis. A search was performed in the Virtual Health Library portal using the keywords "ineffective coping" and "enfrentamento ineficaz."
Data Synthesis:
According to the literature, ineffective coping is defined as an adoption of inadequate psychosocial and behavioral strategies in response to a set of contextual stressors that negatively affect well-being and lifestyle.
Conclusions:
The concept created for ineffective coping has the potential to address the psychosocial elements associated with life experiences in the face of coping mechanisms.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
This analysis may contribute to the improvement of nursing care for patients experiencing difficult situations in their lives, as well as the challenges of nursing interventions that promote positive adaptation.
