Background: : Medical adhesive-related skin injury can occur during health care. Professionals must adopt preventive measures to maintain the integrity of the skin and patient comfort and safety.
Objective: : To map the existing scientific evidence on preventing medical adhesive-related skin injury in adults.
Background: Preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain are frequent in cardiac surgeries and constitute important stressors for patients, which can cause several complications. One strategy that aims to alleviate these phenomena is listening to music as a non-pharmacological intervention. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of listening to music on preoperative state-anxiety, postoperative pain, at rest and when instructed to cough, and cardiorespiratory parameters in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: to map available evidence on parental burnout theme.
Method: scoping review as according to the Joanna Briggs Institute. Search in January 2021, in six databases of publications in English, Portuguese or Spanish, without time limits.
Background: Infections are surgical severe adverse events that pose risks to patient safety in health services, in addition to increasing costs and morbidity and mortality.
Aim: This study aims to describe the infectious profile of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and associate comorbidities and lifestyle habits with surgical wound infection.
Design: Observational and retrospective study.
Objectives: to validate the Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire regarding cultural aspects and metric properties.
Methods: a methodological research carried out through cross-cultural adaptation, face and content validity, dimensional construct and known groups validity, test-retest reliability and internal consistency. 511 nurses from four hospitals participated in the study, of which 54 participated in retest.
Objective: To identify the effectiveness of the serious game in improving learning outcomes compared to the different teaching strategies used in the education of nursing students.
Method: Systematic review, conducted from July 2019 to May 2020, at PubMed®, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science and LILACS. Studies of experimental and quasi-experimental design were included, with no delimitation of time frame, aimed at nursing students, who approached the use of the serious game as the main teaching strategy compared with other pedagogical methods.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how barriers to using research in nursing affect patient safety perception.
- Nurses from public hospitals in Brazil participated, highlighting challenges in applying research findings.
- Results indicated a direct correlation: as barriers increased, safety perception decreased, emphasizing the need for training in evidence-based practices to improve healthcare outcomes.
Aim And Objective: To identify the occurrence of skin and mucosal lesions and factors related to the use of medical devices in newborns admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit.
Background: The use of medical devices increases the risk of injury in newborns due to the immaturity and fragility of their skin and mucosa.
Design: Observational and longitudinal study.
Bioimpedance as an indicator in the distribution of interface pressure in vulnerable regions for pressure ulcers: A preliminary study.
Int J Nurs Pract
August 2019
Aim: To examine the influence of body mass index, bioimpedance, and skin folds on the distribution of body interface pressure in regions with the potential to develop pressure ulcers in contact with support surfaces.
Design: This was a descriptive and analytical study.
Methods: Twenty healthy volunteer adults were investigated in April 2017.
Objectives: to evaluate and classify patients according to the Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries; verify the association between sociodemographic and clinical variables and the risk score; and identify the occurrence of pressure injuries due to surgical positioning.
Method: observational, longitudinal, prospective and quantitative study carried out in a teaching hospital with 278 patients submitted to elective surgeries. A sociodemographic and clinical characterization questionnaire and the Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries were used.
Objective: Evaluate the perception of patient safety atmosphere for health professionals from the safety Attitudes questionnaire and investigate the association between scores and sociodemographic and professionals variables.
Method: This is a quantitative study conducted with 198 health professionals of a philanthropic hospital in Minas Gerais between March and June 2017. Data were collected using an instrument with sociodemographic and professional variables and the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire.
Objective: to evaluate the effect of relaxation therapy with guided imagery on state anxiety and cortisol in the immediate preoperative period in patients submitted to bariatric surgery by videolaparoscopy.
Method: a randomized, triple-blind clinical trial in a large teaching hospital in the interior of Minas Gerais. Twenty-four patients who would undergo video-laparoscopic bariatric surgery were randomly allocated in two groups, namely 12 in the control group and 12 in the experimental group.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how factors like sex, age, anesthesia type, complications, pain, and surgery complexity affect the Aldrete-Kroulik Scoring System in patients recovering after surgery.
- It involved 241 surgical patients and utilized various statistical methods, including correlations and regression analysis, to interpret the data collected.
- Results indicated significant relationships between Aldrete-Kroulik scores and both pain and surgical complexity, emphasizing the importance of understanding these factors for nurses to ensure safe recovery in patients post-anesthesia.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess how effective relaxation therapy with guided imagery is for managing pain after surgery.
- An integrative review of literature was conducted, analyzing works from various databases over a ten-year period, ultimately narrowing down to eight relevant studies for detailed examination.
- Findings suggest that guided imagery, especially when combined with other therapies like relaxation exercises and soothing music, can enhance pain management post-surgery; however, the need for higher-quality research is highlighted to fully validate these approaches in nursing practice.
Objective: to elaborate and validate a checklist to identify compliance with the recommendations for the structure of medication prescriptions, based on the Protocol of the Ministry of Health and the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency.
Method: methodological research, conducted through the validation and reliability analysis process, using a sample of 27 electronic prescriptions.
Results: the analyses confirmed the content validity and reliability of the tool.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to culturally adapt The Barriers to Research Utilization Scale for Brazilian Portuguese and evaluate its validity and reliability among nurses.
- Methodological processes included translation, validity assessments, and reliability tests, with a sample of 335 nurses, 43 of whom participated in a retest.
- Results showed that the adapted scale is valid and reliable, highlighting significant differences in barriers to research use based on nurses' education levels and the organizational culture of their institutions.
Objective: To analyze the available evidence in the literature on nursing care for women with pre-eclampsia and/or eclampsia.
Methods: Integrative review searching for primary studies in the databases PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS and SciELO.
Results: The sample size consisted of 17 primary studies published between January 2000 and December 2014, grouped into four categories: standardizing blood pressure measurement technique; training with simulation; instruments for standardization of care and quality of care The main nursing actions were: physical examination, early detection of signs of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, monitoring of laboratory tests, fetal assessment, qualification and training of professionals.
Objective: To investigate the association between hypertensive disorders and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), by measuring the hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrits (Ht) levels among women attending a university hospital in the Sao Paulo countryside.
Method: Epidemiological, cross-sectional study, conducted with 100 primiparous, in the period between August and December 2012. Hemoglobin and hematocrit dosages were tested upon admission of the mother and 48 hours after delivery.
