Abstract

Introduction: Many authors consider “metabolic syndrome” as the 21st century pandemic, pointing it as a huge challenge for the modern public health1,2. That consideration comes from the constant increase of its prevalence, the close relation between different conditions leading to cardiovascular mortality and, as consequence, the reduction of life expectancy3. Murcia, stands out as one of the Spanish regions with a higher rate of people suffering this metabolic disorder1. It is paradoxical that a disease with a modifiable base, without ignoring the genetic load, constitutes one of the greatest challenges of public health today. In addition, different publications have shown an effective treatment3-6.This suggests that comprehensive research in tackling this epidemic is still necessary. In Spain, since the publication of the Royal ordinance 1093/20107 that recognize the legal obligation for nursing professionals to use and document the international NANDA-NOC-NIC taxonomy on their care reports; different authors,8-10 have expressed the necessity to carry out investigations based on nursing methodology, making possible the description of problems (NANDA), objectives (NOC) and interventions (NIC), that nurses work with nowadays without being aware of them.

Aim: To legalize the care and improve nursing care practice on patients with obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Methods: Identification study proposed by Gordon (1996)11, in the international nomenclature of the nursing discipline, which has been accepted by the three international reference organizations.

Results: The publication of a NANDA diagnosis to label patients with MS is presented, "Risk for Metabolic Imbalance Syndrome"12; a NOC result to objectify the analytical variations involved in it, “Metabolic Function” 13; a NIC interventions into the alterations of the pathologies involved in that metabolic entity "Hypertension Management”14, “Hypotension Management”15 and “Dyslipidemia management” 16

Conclusion: This proposal has been presented under the nursing nomenclature (NANDA, NOC, NIC) or the integral approach and to help the comprehensive approach of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk.
