Abstract

Background

Ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292) is an important nursing diagnosis in the context of chronic conditions. However, it is observed that the etiology of this phenomenon is not well defined for this population. For nurses to infer this diagnosis early and, consequently, develop effective care plans, further studies are needed to facilitate the understanding of the factors related to the phenomenon.

Objective

To analyze the factors related to the ineffective health maintenance behaviors nursing diagnosis in people with chronic conditions.

Methods

A systematic review of related factors conducted in Scopus (Elsevier), Web of Science, Science Direct (Elsevier), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE/PubMed), CINAHL with Full Text (EBSCO), EMBASE (Elsevier) and Google Scholar. The last access date in the data sources was August 31, 2023. For the critical assessment of eligible studies, the checklists for quantitative studies from the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis were adopted. PROSPERO: CRD42022378870.

Results

A total of 21 studies were included and 18 related factors were retrieved. Regarding study characterization, the majority were published in 2022 (33.3 %), North America was the continent with the highest number of studies (42.8 %) and 85.7 % of studies were cross-sectional. Cardiovascular diseases was the most prevalent chronic condition in the studies at 76.1 %. The five main related factors identified were low self-efficacy, individuals with a low level of education, multimorbidity, economically disadvantaged individuals and inadequate health literacy. Of the 18 related factors identified, 11 are not included in the NANDA-International taxonomy classification.

Conclusion

A total of 18 factors related to ineffective health maintenance behaviors in people with chronic conditions were identified in the studies. This study may assist nursing professionals’ clinical practice by providing support in relation to the early detection of the phenomenon through the identification of new related factors.

Keywords: Chronic disease, Causality, Health behavior, Nursing diagnosis, Systematic review

1. Introduction

Chronic conditions led the causes of mortality and premature disabilities in the population [1]. Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases are the conditions with the highest mortality rates. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that 74 % of all deaths worldwide are caused by chronic conditions [2]. Following a healthy diet, regular physical activity, adherence to pharmacological treatment and health maintenance behaviors are essential factors in preventing and controlling chronic diseases. However, studies note that these strategies do not have good adherence among these individuals, which can lead to complications, such as stroke, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, kidney disease, diabetic foot and limb amputation [3,4].

Nursing practice is essential for the progression of health indicators through strategies to improve patient therapeutic adherence. To achieve this, nurses must have a clinical judgment about individuals' human responses based on scientific knowledge. Standardized Language Systems (SLP) help organize the nursing process, providing support for clinical reasoning based on scientific evidence [5,6]. Among the SLP, the NANDA-International taxonomy (NANDA-I) stands out, which constitutes an international system for classifying nursing diagnoses. By identifying potential diagnoses presented by patients with chronic conditions, the possibility of designing care plans that are more reliable to patients’ needs increases and, consequently, nursing outcomes can be achieved [7]; [8]. Ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292) is included in the health promotion domain and the health control class [7]. It is an important diagnosis in the context of chronic conditions, but new studies are needed to facilitate the understanding of related factors in order to be able to assess the diagnosis early. Only one study that explicitly addresses this phenomenon was identified in the literature. Santos et al. [9] addresses nursing diagnoses in adult patients with cardiovascular conditions, where they mention ineffective health maintenance behaviors as a finding.

It is observed that the published studies are more focused on the consequences of a diagnosis. It is expected that the development of this study can contribute to a greater understanding of the etiology of this phenomenon. This helps nursing professionals to act in the prevention of complications and health promotion, focusing on aspects that precede chronic conditions. Related factors are one of the elements that make up the nursing diagnosis, characterized by preceding the development of the phenomenon and leading to increased susceptibility to the diagnosis [7]. Studies addressing this diagnosis are scarce and new studies are recommended to update nursing SLP taxonomies. Considering the above, the present study is justified by the pressing need for research to determine which related factors lead to ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292) in people with chronic conditions. Thus, the present study aims to analyze the factors related to the nursing diagnosis of ineffective health maintenance behaviors in people with chronic conditions. As subsequent objectives, we seek to characterize a sample of studies identified in the literature and to identify gaps in the existing scientific literature on the topic.

2. Methods

Desing This is a systematic review of etiology and risk developed in accordance with the methodological aspects recommended in Chapter 7 of the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis [10]. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was used to guide the reporting of this study [11].

Protocol and registration Since this study uses secondary data from the public domain, ethics committee approval was not required. The review was guided by a previously developed research protocol, which was submitted to the International Prospective Register of Ongoing Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) on November 24, 2022. Approval was given on December 5, 2022, with the following registration number: CRD42022378870.

Type of participants The population of interest for this review was people with chronic conditions. For chronic conditions, the four main ones, such as chronic cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases, were considered according to the WHO.

2.1. Eligibility criteria

To conduct the study, the following inclusion criteria were listed: studies that present related factors consistent with behaviors/signs of the diagnosis under study, studies on the identification, definition and association of related factors in people with chronic conditions and studies that identified the ineffective health maintenance behaviors nursing diagnosis. The following exclusion criteria were considered: letters to the editor, editorials, protocols, books, dissertations, theses, review articles and reflection articles, studies not retrieved as full text and that, after assessing the methodological quality, did not obtain sufficient scores to remain in the sample, were excluded. It should be noted that no time frame and language restrictions were carried out to identify the largest number of studies available.

2.2. Information sources

A prior literature review was developed in May 2022 as a precursor to the systematic review, with the aim of surveying what had already been published in the scientific literature. After this process, seven data sources were consulted to select studies for the systematic review, such as Scopus (Elsevier), Web of Science, Science Direct (Elsevier), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE/PubMed), CINAHL with Full Text (EBSCO), EMBASE (Elsevier) and Google Scholar. The last access date in the data sources was August 31, 2023.

Furthermore, a manual search was carried out in the reference lists of studies that were selected for the final sample.

2.3. Search strategy

The PEO mnemonic strategy was considered to develop the review's research question, namely: P (Population); E (Etiology); and O (Outcome) [10]. The elements adopted were P (people with chronic conditions), E (related factors) and O (ineffective health maintenance behaviors). Thus, the following question was delimited: What are the factors related to the ineffective health maintenance behaviors nursing diagnosis in people with chronic conditions? The descriptors were selected using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). Furthermore, descriptor synonyms were used for greater comprehensiveness of results. The crossing was carried out using the Boolean operators AND and OR, combining descriptors with each other. The same search strategy was used in the seven data sources, being adapted to each source according to its particularities. The descriptors and synonyms used as well as the search strategy are presented in Table 1.

Table 1.

“Causalities” OR “Multifactorial causality” OR “Multifactorial causalities” OR “Reinforcing factor” OR “Causation” OR “Causations”
O: Ineffective health maintenance behaviors MeSH

Search strategy: ("Chronic Disease") AND (“Causality” OR “Etiology” OR “Causalities” OR “Multifactorial causality” OR “Multifactorial causalities” OR “Reinforcing factor” OR “Causation” OR “Causations”) AND ("Health Behavior” OR "Behavior, Health" OR "Behavior, Health-Related" OR "Health Behaviors")

Selection process For the sampling method of the study, the selection process was carried out in pairs, with active blinding, using the Rayyan – Intelligent Systematic Review software (https://rayyan.ai/). The studies were initially analyzed by dynamic reading of titles and abstracts. Studies that met the eligibility criteria and that reached consensus between the two reviewers were read in full. Disagreements among reviewers were solved by a third reviewer. Studies that did not meet the eligibility criteria were excluded and duplicates were counted only once. The organization of citations and list of references were managed by Mendeley reference manager software (https://www.mendeley.com/).

Data collection process Data collection and mapping was carried out in pairs, independently, in an instrument structured in Microsoft Excel 2019®. At this stage, disagreements among reviewers were decided through consensus.

Data items The instrument was structured with the following items: identification of studies (study title, authors, year, journal, country of publication and language); information about the method (study design, sample size, instruments used for measurement – operational definition and type of chronic condition); and main variables under study (related factors and conceptual definition).

Assessment of risk of bias of studies The checklists for quantitative studies from the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis were adopted to assess the methodological quality of studies, according to each type of study present in the final sample, as a critical assessment checklist for cohort, case-control studies, case series, case reports and cross-sectional analytical studies [10].

Thus, two reviewers independently assessed the included studies. A discussion was held for the final assessment of studies and disagreements. Studies were characterized as low risk of bias if they obtained more than 70 % “yes” answers, as moderate risk of bias, if they obtained between 50 % and 69 “yes” answers, and as high risk of bias, if they received less than 49 % of “yes” answers [10]. The final score obtained from the cut-off point and critical analysis regarding the outcome of studies, based on researchers’ opinion, were the criteria that indicated whether or not studies were removed from the sample.

2.4. Data synthesis methods

From the analysis of data collected in Microsoft Excel 2019®, it was possible to tabulate the results of studies. Data were synthesized in charts to allow better visualization of results.

Reporting bias assessment If, during data collection and mapping, a lack of results was identified due to reporting biases that would harm the analysis of review findings, the study would be removed from the sample to minimize the problem.

3. Results

In the previous review carried out, it was possible to retrieve five studies relevant to the systematic review's main interest. During data source selection, 14 studies were included. Furthermore, two studies were identified during the manual search in the reference lists. Thus, 21 studies made up the final review sample. Fig. 1 presents the stages of identification, screening and inclusion of studies.

4. Discussion

To accurately diagnose a phenomenon, it is essential that nurses know the key concepts of nursing diagnoses [7]. The development of this review made it possible to understand a theoretical gradient, through the identification of 21 studies, which determined the related factors of ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292) in people with chronic conditions, as well as their conceptual and operational definitions. Among the 18 related factors identified, low self-efficacy, individuals with low education and multimorbidity prevailed in the sample.

Even though no time frame was used in the study search and selection process, it was found that most studies included in this review were published in the last five years, with emphasis on the year 2022. This demonstrates the relevance of the topic today and presents new evidence for NANDA-I taxonomy updates.

In scientific literature, a study analyzed the phenomenon of ineffective health maintenance in patients with diabetes mellitus and patients living with HIV [[12], [13]]. In the present study, cardiovascular diseases were more prevalent in the sample compared to other chronic diseases. This may suggest the development of more in-depth studies in this population.

Among the related factors, low self-efficacy was one of the most prevalent factors in the sample. Patients’ low self-efficacy in controlling their chronic condition reflects their low confidence in maintaining active management of health actions [[14], [15], [16], [17]]. A study carried out with diabetic patients linked low self-efficacy to ineffective health behaviors associated with dietary control, blood glucose monitoring, physical activity, foot care and medication adherence [18]. Ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292) have a high prevalence in people with chronic conditions, being identified in 65 % of patients with stable heart disease [19]. Multimorbidity, i.e., the presence of one or more chronic conditions, can make it difficult to adopt effective health-related behaviors due to limiting symptoms or side effects of medications in use [[20], [21], [22]].

The element of inadequate health literacy is included in the current edition of NANDA-I as a defining characteristic of ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292). However, studies mentioned it as a related factor, since this element precedes the development of the phenomenon, which leads to increased susceptibility to diagnosis [3,21,23].

A variant of the element, inadequate digital health literacy, was identified in the studies. Corroborating this finding, participants in one study mentioned that when they found information online, they were anxious about the information available about complications of their disease. Furthermore, several individuals mentioned that they contacted their children or grandchildren due to difficulties with technical problems on computers or cell phones [[24], [25]]. Erroneous beliefs about the multifactorial etiology of health conditions were an identified factor. Individuals who believe that a disease is caused solely by genetic factors and cannot be changed may not be motivated to change their health behaviors. On the other hand, people who believe that a disease is caused solely by environmental and behavioral factors and do not consider the possibility of genetic factors may not seek medical attention or undergo appropriate treatment [[26], [27]]. In the same vein, limited knowledge about one's health condition may motivate ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292). Studies show that patients with diabetes mellitus and/or cardiovascular disease report that they would like to have been better informed about the risk factors and consequences of their condition at the time of diagnosis, so they could have been more aware of the consequences of their lifestyle at that time, avoiding other possible complications [[25], [28], [29]]. Inadequate social support was identified in the study sample [[30], [31]]. Research carried out with patients with diabetes mellitus corroborates the results of this study, where it was observed that inadequate social support, such as a lack of resilience resources and lack of attitudes such as reminders to take medication and change the family's diet, can influence patients' negative behavior [32]. In relation to the lack of perceived susceptibility, it is important that nurses consider the perceived susceptibility when setting goals in relation to making health decisions with patients, as this can help minimize the risk of worsening their health condition in the future long term [33].

The lack of motivation to engage in health-promoting behaviors was described in studies but was not necessarily associated with depressive symptoms [33]. A study shows that individuals who live without identified psychological problems, such as depression or anxiety, may present a lack of motivation only linked to engaging in health-promoting behaviors and being motivated in other areas of life [[28], [34], [35]]. On the other hand, studies show that people with greater impulsivity have greater difficulty adhering to the diet and poor adherence to drug therapy [[36], [37]]. Spiritual distress, depressive symptoms, and low life satisfaction were also cited as factors related to ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292). Research with patients with chronic conditions confirms this finding, where patients with these factors generally have low optimism, do not have clear health goals defined and feel low confidence in the future and unhappiness in daily health actions, directly impacting the management of their chronic condition and performance of their health behaviors [[3], [34], [38]]. Chronic stress is associated with reduced sleep duration and quality. It is worth mentioning that this factor influences negative health behaviors, just as negative health behaviors reinforce chronic stress, since healthy attitude practice can alleviate stressful situations [[39], [40]]. Social support may be a protective factor against chronic stress [41].

Older adults, individuals with a low level of education, economically disadvantaged individuals, adverse childhood experiences and men were determined in the present review as related factors. However, following the NANDA-I taxonomy structure, it is believed that these elements should be transferred to populations at risk of ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292), as they cannot be modified nurses independently [[42], [43], [44], [45]].

Of these five populations at risk, individuals with a low level of education are not included in ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292) in the NANDA-I taxonomy. Individuals with a low level of education was present in a greater number of studies in the review of etiology and risk, demonstrating the evidence of this population at diagnosis.

This finding is in line with other published studies in which individuals with less education were less likely to prioritize long-term health benefits. Furthermore, individuals with less education may not clearly understand what public health campaigns or advice from health professionals represent, demonstrating low health promotion efforts [28].

4.1. Study strengths and limitations

The strengths of this study are related to efforts to minimize possible biases, through a rigorous search strategy and PRISMA checklist use to prepare the report.

The limitations of this study may be related to data sources selected to identify studies, which may have hidden some studies that could have contributed to the findings of this research, in addition to non-inclusion of studies that were not retrieved as full text. Another limitation of the study is related to the sample, which was mostly composed of cross-sectional studies. These studies have low power to establish causal relationships between the variables investigated, which may limit the strength of the evidence found.

4.2. Implications for clinical practice

Considering the findings evidenced in the present study, it was observed that the structure of ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292) of NANDA-I taxonomy presents inconsistencies in its composition. Therefore, this review can help improve the diagnosis through the inclusion of new related factors and refine nurses’ diagnostic accuracy during their clinical practice with people with chronic conditions.

5. Conclusion

A total of 21 factors related to ineffective health maintenance behaviors (00292) in people with chronic conditions were identified in the studies. This study can support the clinical practice of nursing professionals by aiding the early detection of the phenomenon through the identification of new related factors, along with their conceptual and operational definitions. Such support can contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases and the mitigation of complications when these diseases are already present.

It is suggested that observational studies be carried out to validate the elements identified in this study, thereby completing the validation process of the nursing diagnosis and elevating its level of evidence to 2.3. For future research, expanding the study to encompass different cultural and social contexts would be beneficial, with this study serving as a foundational point. Furthermore, the continuous development of studies is recommended to facilitate the ongoing updating and refinement of nursing taxonomies.
