Objective: identify the nursing diagnoses of post-liver transplantation patients in outpatient follow-up.
Method: descriptive study developed between January and May 2015, evaluating 153 consultations in an outpatient clinic in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. To elaborate the nursing diagnoses, we followed Risner’s proposal, standardized according to NANDA-I 2015-2017. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.
Results: 102 patients (66.7%) were male with a median age of 55 years. Cirrhosis due to the hepatitis C virus was the main indication for transplantation. We identified eleven nursing diagnoses, the most frequent being: Risk for infection, Ineffective protection, Risk for unstable blood glucose, Risk for impaired liver function.
Conclusion: identifying the nursing diagnoses permits outlining these patients’ needs profile and providing differentiated nursing care in the outpatient follow-up of post-liver transplantation patients.
