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.
Aim: The aim of the study was to identify and reflect on evidence regarding the use of simulation in nursing education.
Background: The use of simulation as a teaching strategy in nursing is expanding. It is important to check the evidence deriving from research.
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.
Objective: to translate and validate to Portuguese the Debriefing Experience Scale jointly with individuals that used high-fidelity simulation in learning.
Method: methodological and exploratory study for an instrument translation and validation. For the validation process, the event "III Workshop Brazil - Portugal: Care Delivery to Critical Patients" was created.
Objective: to validate an instrument to measure self-confidence of nursing care in urinary retention.
Methods: methodological research study, carried out after ethical approval. A Likert-like scale of 32 items related to nursing care in urinary retention was applied to students of the graduate nursing course.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify how training on a low-fidelity simulator impacts the confidence of caregivers and patients with neurogenic bladder who use clean intermittent urinary catheterization.
Design: Quasi-experimental study.
Methods: Developed in a rehabilitation center in Brazil including patients who use clean intermittent urinary catheterization and caregivers from September to November 2013.
Aims And Background: The rehabilitation process of patients with neurogenic bladder involves psychosocial, cultural, political and economic human factors, representing a challenge for patients/caregivers as well as health professionals. This study was aimed at characterizing patients with neurogenic bladder who use intermittent urethral catheterization and were going through rehabilitation at a teaching hospital.
Method: This descriptive study was undertaken in the interior of São Paulo State-Brazil.
