Using music to reduce anxiety and stress in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty: A randomized clinical trial protocol.

In the current health context, there is a widespread increase in chronic non-communicable diseases that predominantly affect the cardiovascular system. Recent epidemiological data in Brazil indicate a rise in these diseases, which can result in severe harm to patients, including death. This study aims to present a study protocol to evaluate the effect of music in reducing anxiety and stress in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty.

The study followed the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.

Efficacy of aromatherapy with Lavandula angustifolia oil on postoperative pain after cardiac surgery: A randomized clinical trial.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of aromatherapy through inhalation of Lavandula angustifolia essential oil in relieving pain during the immediate postoperative period of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Methods: A single-blind, randomized and controlled clinical trial, with 52 patients in the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery were randomly distributed into experimental (n = 26) and control (n = 26) groups. The primary outcome was whether or not pain was relieved and secondary outcomes included changes in vital signs, sleep and facial relaxation.

Factors associated with increased lactate levels in cardiac surgeries: scoping review.

Objectives: to map the factors associated with increased lactate levels in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery using extracorporeal circulation.

Methods: this is a scoping review carried out in December 2022, across ten data sources. It was prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist.

Use of a menthol popsicle in managing postoperative thirst in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy: A randomized clinical trial.

Thirst is a real bother that most patients feel in the immediate postoperative period when they still need to fast. Many approaches regarding symptomatic relief strategies have been described in the literature, but strategies with cold water and/or menthol are effective in quenching thirst, as they act on pre-absorptive mechanisms. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using menthol popsicles in relieving postoperative thirst in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.

Use of essential oil as a complementary therapy in adult health care: A scoping review.

Teaching in health residencies: knowledge of preceptors under Shulman's analysis.

Objectives: to understand how the pedagogical knowledge that integrates the basic knowledge of teaching is perceived by preceptors in residents' teaching-learning process.

Methods: a qualitative research conducted by semi-structured interview from December 2013 to July 2014, with 31 preceptors of residency programs of three university hospitals in northeastern Brazil. For analysis, the Grounded Theory's proposal was used and supported by Atlas ti(r) 7.

[The educational practice of preceptors in healthcare residencies: a study on reflective practice].

The purpose of this article was to reflect on thepractice of preceptorship as an educational practice in the training and qualifications of professional health information for the public health system. This is a theoretical reflection with support in the literature. The teacher addresses the teaching-learning process and transforms the activities in the work on educational moments.
