Contextual analysis of the domiciliary nursing consultation to individuals with spinal cord injury

Abstract

The objective of the study was to analyze the contextual elements that influence the development of the home nursing consultation to individuals with spinal cord injury. A narrative review was conducted in the SciELO, IBECS, LILACS and PubMed data bases. Data were analyzed according to contextual analysis that proposes four layers of interactive contextual relations. These were examined and the analysis enabled the comprehension of the phenomenon (immediate, specific, general and metacontextual). The data were presented in thematic categories: the peculiarities of nursing consultation to people with spinal cord injury (immediate contextual level); the difficulties in assisting people with spinal cord injury (specific contextual level); beliefs, values and psychosocial repercussions of the individual when faced with the spinal injury (general contextual level); and the legal capital of individuals with spinal cord injury: from legislation to ministerial norms (metacontext).The meaning of the phenomenon derived from the analysis enabled its sharing and application in nursing practices.
