Objective: to measure urinary volume through bladder ultrasound, performed by a nurse in critically ill patients, after removal of the indwelling urinary catheter and to verify the related factors on urinary retention.

Method: quantitative, observational and cross-sectional study, carried out with 37 critically ill patients of both sexes, over 18 years of age, with removal of indwelling urinary catheter in the last 48 hours. A questionnaire containing sociodemographic and clinical variables and an ultrasound examination were used.

Objective: To evaluate the self-confidence of nurses in the care of critically ill patients, before and after a simulated intervention.

Method: A quasi-experimental study was carried out with 103 nurses who participated in a workshop on the care of critically ill patients in the first semester of 2016. A clinical simulation pedagogical instrument was used throughout the event, and self-confidence was assessed by the Portuguese version of the Self-confidence Scale (SCSvp).

Objective: To identify the influence of social determinants of health on the life conditions of patients who use intermittent urinary catheters.

Method: This was a descriptive study conducted in a rehabilitation center with 243 neurogenic bladder patients who used clear intermittent urinary catheters. The study was carried out between March 2012 and October 2015, using interviews based on semi-structured instruments, and data analysis using descriptive statistics.

Objective: To validate a measurement instrument for clean intermittent self-catheterization for patients and health-caregivers.

Material And Methods: Methodological study of instrument validation performed at a Rehabilitation Center in a University hospital for patients submitted to clean intermittent self-catheterization and their health-caregivers. Following ethical criteria, data were collected during interview with nurse staff using a Likert question form containing 16 items with 5 points each: "no confidence"=1, "little confidence"=2, "confident"=3, "very confident"=4 and "completely confident"=5.

Article Synopsis
  • The study was a quasi-experimental research conducted with nurses in municipal care units in São Paulo, focusing on low-fidelity simulation training.
  • After participating in the training, 42 nurses, mostly with over 15 years of experience, showed a significant increase in their confidence regarding nursing care for urinary retention (p<0.05).
  • The conclusion emphasizes that low-fidelity simulation training is an effective method for enhancing nurses' skills in managing urinary retention.
