Background: Nurses should implement actions that promote comfort in elderly patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Objective: To identify nursing diagnoses (NDs) in hospitalized elderly patients in an ICU; to categorize diagnoses according to the dimensions of comfort (physical, psychospiritual, sociocultural, and environmental) in Kolcaba's theory. Methodology: Cross-sectional study. Analysis of the 103 clinical records of elderly patients admitted to an ICU of a hospital located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between 1 January and 31 December 2019. Results: The median age was 82 years, and 58.25% of elderly patients were women. A total of 1,140 NDs were identified and distributed across 26 titles and six domains of NANDA-I Taxonomy. Of the 26 titles, 80.77% were categorized as belonging to the dimension of physical comfort, 11.54% to sociocultural comfort, 3.58% to environmental comfort, and 3.58% to psychospiritual comfort. Conclusion: The integration of a theory into the nursing process may assist nurses in identifying and implementing comfort measures in all dimensions for hospitalized elderly patients.

Objective: To discuss the applicability of the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) in the light of the Comfort Theory, relating the range of care areas described in this instrument to the comfort contexts proposed in Kolcaba's theory. Methodology: theoretical study, critical analysis, based on the principles of Kolcaba comfort theory. Reflection: the activities evaluated by the NAS are congruent with the contexts of comfort proposed in the Kolcaba theory, and can contribute to the promotion of comfort. It is noted, however, that there are fewer items to evaluate the sociocultural, psycho-spiritual and environmental contexts. Most activities value the organic and biological needs of patients. Considerations: Although the activities of the NAS are consistent with the comfort contexts proposed by Kolcaba, it cannot be said that the care provided will be fully compatible with the theoretical assumptions, requiring further studies for clinical validation.
