INTRODUÇÃO: No Brasil, não encontramos referencias teóricas quanto ao uso do Modelo de Promoção da Saúde de Nola J. Pender , apesar de sua ampla utilização por pesquisadores americanos, asiáticos e europeus, para estudar comportamentos que levam à promoção da saúde. OBJETIVO: Analisar o diagrama do modelo de Promoção da saúde de Nola J. Pender. MÉTODO: Utilizou-se o método de análise de teorias proposto por Meleis em 1997. RESULTADOS: A análise permitiu evidenciar que a representação gráfica do diagrama é de fácil compreensão, todos os componentes são descritos no texto pela autora, o que pode ser um fator facilitador para o uso deste modelo, por enfermeiros, na assistência e na pesquisa. No entanto, as ligações entre alguns componentes não são bem definidas. Evidenciou-se, ainda, que alguns termos do diagrama são de difícil tradução para o idioma português. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: Ao analisar o diagrama do modelo citado acima, pudemos ampliar o leque de opções quanto aos referenciais teóricos que incrementam as ações de enfermagem.

Resumen

Objective: to describe the theoretical construction process of nursing process support documents in COVID-19 care scenarios. Methods: an experience report of the joint activity of the Brazilian Nursing Process Research Network (Rede de Pesquisa em Processo de Enfermagem) composed of Higher Education and Health Institution researchers in Brazil. Results: five instruments were organized collectively, involving the elements of nursing practice (nursing diagnoses, outcomes and interventions) in assistance for community; for patients (with suspected or mild, moderate, and critical COVID-19 and residents in Nursing Homes); for nursing workers’ health support, also subsidizing registration and documentation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Final considerations: valuing the phenomena manifested by families/communities, patients and health professionals is essential for early detection, intervention, and prevention of diseases.
