ABSTRACT
Objectives: to describe the clinical characteristics of hospitalized adolescents with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus undergoing glucocorticoid pulse therapy. Methods: Descriptive, documentary, quantitative study carried out in the ward of a university hospital in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Sample composed of 12 medical records of adolescents, totaling 23 pulse therapy and 68 infusions/day, performed between August/2020 to June/2021. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Regarding the time of medical diagnosis, 50% were diagnosed between 0 and 6 months, and 58.3% had never undergone pulse therapy prior to hospitalization, 95.7% of pulse therapies were due to complications from Lupus. Regarding the reasons for hospitalization, clinical investigation (34.8%), treatment (26%) and disease activation (21.7%) stand out. Regarding blood pressure variation, no amplitude of variation of systolic and diastolic pressures was observed. Conclusion: nursing care for adolescents with lupus should be guided by singularities and clinical assessment.
