Indicador de qualidade em terapia nutricional na oncologia e a interface com a enfermagem: revisão integrativa

Abstract

Objective: to identify evidence of the Quality Indicator in Nutritional Therapy “prescribed X infused volume of nutritional therapy”, in hospitalized adult cancer patients. Methods: integrative review, carried out on the Virtual Health Library Portal, Nursing Database, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Google Scholar, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, U.S. National Library of Medicine, SciVerse Scopus and Web of Science. Studies published in Portuguese, English or Spanish in the years 2008 to 2021 were included. Results: nine studies were analyzed. The authors' profile was mostly of nutritionists and/or nutrition students (n=7;53.8%), nurses and/or nursing students represented 30.8% (n=4). Most studies (n=6;67%) did not reach the indicator target, investigated in clinical and/or surgical wards (n=3;27.3%) and adult/general ICU (n=3;27.3 %), and three (33.4%) had a Multidisciplinary Nutrition Therapy Team at the institution. Conclusion: the target of the indicator “prescribed X infused volume of nutritional therapy” was not achieved in most studies, and cancer patients have clinical and institutional difficulties to achieve it. Contributions to practice: it becomes possible to develop skills in nursing practice, especially aimed at adult oncological patients hospitalized using Enteral Nutritional Therapy.
