Although TS is not uncommon, there are still gaps in the literature about nursing care. The objective of the study was to infer nursing diagnoses from the clinical conditions presented by patients with Turner syndrome, according to NANDA-I taxonomy II. This is a cross-sectional and retrospective study, with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 59 patients with TS, diagnosed from 1993 to 2019. The data were extracted from their medical records and submitted to diagnostic inference based on the NANDA-I taxonomy II. The clinical judgment occurred with the main dysmorphias described among the patients. Regarding the results, the most common chromosomal constitution was X chromosome monosomy (40.7%) and the mean age of the patients at diagnosis was 15.9 years (ranged from 1 month to 34 years). The main dysmorphias described were: short stature, ulna valgus, pectus excavatum, and ogival palate. The diagnoses inferred for the studied population were social isolation, impaired physical mobility, impaired swallowing, low situational self-esteem, and ineffective breathing patterns. It was concluded that the proposal of nursing diagnoses makes it possible improve the assistance of these patients, based on evidence in the care of patients with rare diseases.</p> ER -
