The application of Borg scale in cardiopulmonary resuscitation: An integrative review.

The study of human performance and perception of exertion constitutes a fundamental aspect for monitoring health implications and enhancing training outcomes such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It involves gaining insights into the varied responses and tolerance levels exhibited by individuals engaging in physical activities. To measure perception of exertion, many tools are available, including the Borg scale.

The Use of the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

Background: A cardiopulmonary arrest is a critical event whose survival rate is related to the quality of resuscitation maneuvers combined with the use of technology. It is important to understand the perception of fatigue during this procedure, aiming to improve the effectiveness of compressions to increase the chances of survival.

Objectives: To apply the Borg rating of perceived exertion scale (Borg scale) to analyze the exertion perceived by nurses during cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers using a feedback device.

Empathic listening: welcoming strategy for nursing Professional in coping with with the coronavirus pandemic.

Objective: to reflect on empathic listening use as a welcoming strategy for nursing professionals to cope with the challenges during the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus.

Methods: this is a reflection study based on updated data surveys and theoretical-conceptual aspects of Non-Violent Communication and empathic listening.

Results: in the performance during the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing professionals are exposed to violence of different natures related to occupational stress, work overload, anguishes and silenced suffering, with implications for the workers' health, who can be benefited and strengthened with empathetic listening.
