Resumen

FERNANDEZ FERNANDEZ, María de Lourdes; PINA BORREGO, Carlos Enrique  y  PINA RODRIGUEZ, Lorena Karla. The failure to thrive from an integrative perspective outpatient. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.3, e848.  Epub 01-Sep-2017. ISSN 0864-0319.

Introduction:

Failure to thrive is identified when a child has a significantly lower growth than its peers and is often associated with poor mental and psycho-emotional development.

Objective:

Analyze and synthesize, through scientific production, the characteristics of failure to thrive in an integrated way that facilitates its approach from outpatient care.

Methods:

an integrative review, conducted in accordance with the following steps are performed: identification of the subject and development of the research question, establishing the criteria for inclusion and exclusion definition of the information that would be extracted from the selected studies, selection of bank and databases for consultation, evaluation studies included in the review, interpretation of results and presentation of the synthesis of knowledge.

Conclusions:

The failure to thrive has a multifactorial etiology, with its variable prevalence. Factors have been identified biological, sociocultural and environmental risk. There is a discrepancy between the authors on diagnostic elements for identification, constituting the static and dynamic criteria the most widely accepted. The key to success lies in prevention.

Palabras clave : failure to thrive; poor physical growth.
