Adecuación del esfuerzo terapéutico: retos en pediatría / Adequacy of therapeutic effort: Challenges in pediatrics

La adecuación del esfuerzo terapéutico reemplaza la expresión limitación terapéutica y se define como la decisión de no iniciar medidas diagnósticas y terapéuticas o de suspenderlas en respuesta a la condición del paciente, para evitar conductas potencialmente inapropiadas y redireccionar los objetivos de tratamiento hacia el confort y el bienestar. En la población pediátrica, esta decisión es aún más desafiante debido a la naturaleza de la relación médico-paciente-familia y a la escasez de guías que orienten su implementación. La adecuación del esfuerzo terapéutico está enmarcada en principios éticos y legales, pero existen diversos retos a nivel práctico. Cada proceso de adecuación es único y dinámico, y debe abordarse contemplando a quién realizarlo, cuándo, cómo y con qué medidas.

The term "therapeutic limitation" has been replaced by "adequacy of therapeutic effort" and is defined as the decision to withhold or withdraw diagnostic and therapeutic measures in response to the patient's condition, avoiding potentially inappropriate behaviors and redirectong treatment goals towards comfort and well-being. In the pediatric population, this decision is even more challenging given the nature of the physician-patient-family relationship and the paucity of guidelines to address treatment goals. The adequacy of therapeutic effort is framed by ethical and legal principles, but, in practice, there are several challenges. Each adequacy process is unique and dynamic, and should be addressed by taking into account with what measures, how, when, and in whom it should be implemented

Possibilities of the nurse's action in front of the effects of social isolation on the patient with chronic pain: integrative review / Possibilidades de atuação do enfermeiro frente aos efeitos do isolamento social no paciente com dor crônica: revisão integrativa

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Social isolation, as experienced in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, has triggered psychological and neuropsychiatric problems; these conditions can aggravate chronic pain crises. It is also known that social relationships play an important role in pain and emotions. Chronic pain (CP) is a challenging disease, especially in terms of its multifaceted mechanisms and treatment. Thus, the aim of this study was to provide a better understanding of nurses' work with patients with CP and the impact of social isolation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. CONTENTS: This is an integrative review, carried out in the Virtual Health Library (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde - BVS) and Medline via Pubmed databases of the National Library of Medicine. To select the articles, the following descriptors in health sciences and Medical Subject Headings (DeCS/MeSh) were considered: "Social isolation", "Chronic pain", "COVID-19", "Nursing care" and "Patient care planning", with their synonyms/alternative terms. A total of 45,703 articles were found; based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 27 articles were selected. This study hoped to answer the following guiding questions: "how do nurses work with individuals with CP during the social isolation caused by COVID-19?", and "what are the consequences of social isolation for this population due to the COVID-19 pandemic?". Of the 27 articles, most were published in North America and Europe, and three in Brazil. The population most affected by CP are seniors, women and people on low incomes. In terms of profession, only three of the 27 articles were published by nurses. The data was discussed considering the work of nurses with individuals with CP, especially through telehealth, as well as the impacts that people with CP have suffered from social isolation during the coronavirus pandemic. CONCLUSION: There is a significant gap in the literature regarding the role of nurses with individuals with CP in social isolation, suggesting the need for further studies in this area, mainly at the national level. From the studies found, it was evidenced that individuals who live with CP have the multiple dimensions of the human being affected, but that in this moment of social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the worst commitment was the emotional one. Thus, with the continued rise of telehealth and the possibility of future pandemics, it is recommended to move the existing guidelines for the formal development of telehealth competencies towards relevant curricular content and clinical experience for all nursing programs.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O isolamento social, como vivenciado no contexto da pandemia da COVID-19, desencadeou problemas psicológicos e neuropsiquiátricos; essas condições podem agravar as crises de dor crônicas. Além disso, é sabido que as relações sociais têm um papel importante na dor e nas emoções. A dor crônica (DC) apresenta-se como uma doença desafiadora, sobretudo quanto aos seus mecanismos multifacetados e ao seu tratamento. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi trazer uma maior compreensão da atuação do enfermeiro nos pacientes com DC e do impacto do isolamento social decorrente da pandemia da COVID-19. CONTEÚDO: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, realizada nas bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Medline via Pubmed da National Library of Medicine. Para a seleção dos artigos foram considerados os descritores em ciências da saúde e Medical Subject Headings (DeCS/MeSh): "Isolamento social", "Dor crônica", "COVID-19", "Cuidados de enfermagem" e "Planejamento de assistência ao paciente", com os seus sinônimos/termos alternativos. Foram encontrados 45.703 artigos; a partir dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados 27 artigos. Este estudo esperou responder às seguintes perguntas norteadoras: "qual a atuação do enfermeiro com o indivíduo com DC durante o isolamento social da COVID-19?", e "quais as consequências do isolamento social devido à pandemia da COVID-19 para essa população?". Dos 27 artigos, a maior parte foi publicada na América do Norte e Europa, e três no Brasil. A população mais afetada pela DC são idosos, mulheres e pessoas de baixa renda. Em relação à profissão, dos 27 artigos somente três foram publicados por enfermeiros. Os dados foram discutidos considerando a atuação do enfermeiro para com o indivíduo com DC, em especial por meio da telessaúde, bem como os impactos que as pessoas com DC sofreram com o isolamento social durante a pandemia do novo coronavírus. CONCLUSÃO: Há uma significativa lacuna na literatura no que tange à atuação do enfermeiro com indivíduos com DC em isolamento social, sugerindo a necessidade de maiores estudos nessa área, principalmente a nível nacional. Nos estudos encontrados, foi evidenciado que indivíduos que vivem com DC possuem as múltiplas dimensões humanas afetadas, mas nesse momento de isolamento social devido à pandemia da COVID-19 a dimensão de pior comprometimento foi a emocional. Assim, com o aumento contínuo da telessaúde e a possibilidade de futuras pandemias, recomenda-se mover as diretrizes existentes para o desenvolvimento formal de competências da telessaúde por conteúdo curricular relevante e experiência clínica para todos os programas de enfermagem.

Reproducibility of Digital Planning in Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty Among Experienced and Novice Surgeons / Reprodutibilidade do planejamento digital na artroplastia total do quadril sem cimento entre cirurgiões experientes e iniciantes

Abstract Objective The present study aims to assess the reproducibility of digital planning for cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) among surgeons with different levels of experience. In addition, it attempts to determine the degree of planning reliability based on a contralateral THA or on a spherical marker positioned at the greater trochanter for calibration. Methods Two evaluators with different experience levels (A1 and A2) performed independently the retrospective digital surgical planning of 64 cementless THAs. Next, we compared the planning with the implants used in the surgery. The reproducibility was excellent when planning and implants were identical; proper in case of a single-unit variation; and inappropriate if there was variation in two or more units. The present analysis also determined the calibration accuracy between the contralateral THA and the spherical marker at the greater trochanter level. Results The present study demonstrated greater success when the most experienced evaluator performed the planning and greater accuracy for the contralateral THA. When splitting the analysis per parameter (contralateral THA or spherical marker), there was a statistical difference only for the planning of A1 and the implants used in the surgery. This difference occurred in the excellent category, with 67.3% for contralateral THA compared with 30.6% for a spherical marker (p < 0.001), and in the inappropriate category, with 7.1% for contralateral THA compared with 30.6% for a spherical marker (p < 0.001). Conclusions Digital planning is more accurate when performed by an experienced evaluator. The contralateral prosthesis head was a better reference than a marker on the greater trochanter.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a reprodutibilidade do planejamento digital da artroplastia total de quadril (ATQ) sem cimento entre cirurgiões com diferentes níveis de experiência e o grau de confiabilidade no planejamento baseado na ATQ contralateral com o método de marcador esférico posicionado ao nível do trocanter maior. Método Dois avaliadores com níveis de experiência diferentes (A1 e A2) realizaram de forma independente o planejamento digital operatório retrospectivo de 64 ATQs sem cimento. O planejamento foi comparado com os implantes utilizados na cirurgia, sendo classificados como: excelentes, quando idênticos; adequados, quando houve variação de uma unidade; e inadequados, quando ocorreu variação de duas ou mais unidades. Na presente análise, também foi avaliada a acurácia do parâmetro de calibragem entre a ATQ contralateral comparada com o marcador esférico ao nível do trocanter maior. Resultados O estudo demonstrou maior êxito no planejamento quando realizado pelo avaliador mais experiente, com maior acurácia na ATQ contralateral. Ao fragmentar a análise de acordo com o parâmetro utilizado (ATQ contralateral ou marcador esférico), houve diferença estatística apenas na comparação do planejamento do avaliador A1 com os implantes utilizados na cirurgia. Esta diferença ocorreu na classificação excelente com 67,3% em ATQ contralateral como parâmetro contra 30,6% com marcador esférico (p < 0,001) e inadequado de 7,1% contra 30,6%, respectivamente (p < 0,001). Conclusões A acurácia do planejamento digital é mais precisa quando realizada por um avaliador experiente e a utilização da cabeça de prótese contralateral como referência se mostrou superior à utilização de um marcador no trocanter maior.

Behavioral Intention Scale for End-of-life DiscussionsReliability and Validity Using a Web-based Survey

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the behavioral intention scale for end-of-life discussions. Methods: The scale items were developed according to the Theory of Planned Behavior. The drafts of the scale were created by Item-Level Content Validity Index (I-CVI) and a preliminary test. In the main study, we administered a cross-sectional questionnaire on the web to the participants 20–79 years of age (n=860), living in Tokyo and six surrounding prefectures, and a retest one week later (n=665). We examined item analysis, calculation of a reliability coefficient (intraclass correlation coefficient, Cronbach's alpha coefficient), construct validity, and concurrent validity of the scale. Results: Six factors identified by an exploratory factor analysis were; outcome evaluation, perceived power, control beliefs, motivation to comply, normative beliefs, and behavioral beliefs. The alpha coefficient of the overall scale was .96. The effect size that was determined based on known-groups validity and the correlation coefficient determined on the basis of concurrent validity were moderate. Conclusions: The reliability and validity of the scale were generally confirmed.

Advance Care Planning by Rehabilitation Professionals: an Experience with a Patient with Nonmalignant Respiratory Disease

We herein report a case of a 76-year-old male patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease whose advance care planning (ACP) was facilited by rehabilitation staff by utilizing dialogue in rehabilitation settings, mainly in the context of conditioning and self-management during pulmonary rehabilitation. When a rehabilitation professional is involved in ACP, it is easy to be involved in the so-called ACP in the broad sense. Compared to other professions, rehabilitation professionals have more time being with a patient for dialogue and can discuss the patient's values and future concerns from a life-centered perspective. To promote ACP in the practical settings, rehabilitation professionals, who have the advantage of having more time for dialogue than other professions, need to be involved in ACP by taking advantage of repeated opportunities for dialogue.

Advance care planning (ACP) is an important part of hospice care, a core index of high-quality palliative care, and one of the effective indicators for improving the life quality of end-of-life patients. By reviewing the progress of various theoretical models and their applications in ACP, including planned behavior theory, behavioral change wheel theory, self-determination theory, prospect theory, change theory, and cultural suitability theory, this paper delved into the advantages and limitations of each theoretical model and analyzed its research prospects in future ACP clinical practice to promote researchers’ correct understanding of the role of different theoretical models in various types of studies, with a view to providing new ideas for clinical research on ACP.

Construction of Sustained Social Support System for Advance Care Plan / 中国医学伦理学

With the aggravation of global aging process and the strengthening of patients’ awareness of rights, the realization of the elderly and end-of-life patients’ right to know and autonomy, and the satisfaction of physical and mental needs have become new indicators to measure social development. Advance care plan focuses on the discussion process of patients, their families and medical staff on end-of-life medical decisions and death intentions, which greatly promotes the development concept of palliative care and optimal death. To promote this process in the context of traditional Chinese culture, it is also necessary to combine with the local family concept and collectivism. Therefore, this paper introduced a sustainable social support system involving multiple subjects such as families, communities, social workers, and legal workers, with a view to benefiting the elderly and end-of-life patients.

En la evaluación por jueces, en la prueba de los escenarios validados respecto a las prácticas educativas y en el diseño de la simulación, los ítems sopesados alcanzaron el CKM ≥ 0,74. Conclusión: se construyeron dos escenarios sobre evidencias relacionadas con la terapia de infusión, con valores de concordancia altos entre los jueces, referente a su diseño. En las pruebas con enfermeros, se obtuvieron buenos resultados en cuanto al diseño y a la estructuración de la práctica educativa.

RESUMO Objetivo: construir, avaliar e testar dois cenários de simulação clínica para o planejamento e gerenciamento da terapia infusional pelo enfermeiro. Método: estudo metodológico, com construção de cenários baseado na NLN Jeffries Simulation Theory e no modelo teórico Vessel Health Preservation; avaliação do desenho dos cenários por juízes, com cálculo do Coeficiente de Kappa Modificado (CKM); testagem dos cenários com o público-alvo. Resultados: cenários construídos para: 1. Avaliação do paciente e seleção do dispositivo vascular; e 2. Identificação e gerenciamento de trombose venosa profunda. Na avaliação por juízes, na testagem dos cenários validados em relação às práticas educativas e ao design da simulação, os itens apreciados apresentaram valores do CKM ≥ 0,74. Conclusão: foram construídos dois cenários baseados em evidências relacionadas à terapia infusional, com elevados valores de concordância dos juízes, quanto ao seu desenho. Na testagem com enfermeiros, obteve-se bons resultados quanto ao desenho e estruturação da prática educativa.

Advance directives and cancer: oncology practices in Brazil / Directivas anticipadas y cáncer: prácticas oncológicas en Brasil / Diretivas antecipadas e câncer: práticas oncológicas no Brasil

Abstract Data on advance directives in Brazil are lacking. This study aims to assess the understanding of oncologists regarding advance directives and the frequency with which they discuss advance directives and advance care planning with their patients in Brazil. This is an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study, conducted with cclinical oncologists associated with the Brazilian Society of Clinical Oncology. Participants were invited to answer a questionnaire prepared by the authors. In total, 72 physicians answered the questionnaire, of which 73% were under 45 years old and 56% worked in oncology for less than 10 years. Regarding the limits of intervention and end-of-life care during treatment, 54.2% of respondents reported not discussing it. Although 67% of oncologists know the term advance directives, they do not develop them with their patients and 57.2% do not perform advance care planning. Most oncologists in this study do not set advance care planning and advance directives for most patients.

Resumen Dada la escasa información sobre directivas anticipadas en Brasil, este estudio analiza si los oncólogos conocen las directivas anticipadas y si discuten el tema con sus pacientes o realizan la planificación anticipada de atención. Este es un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal, realizado con oncólogos clínicos afiliados a la Sociedad Brasileña de Oncología Clínica. Se aplicó un cuestionario elaborado por los autores. Participaron 72 médicos; el 73% tenían menos de 45 años y el 56% llevaban trabajando menos de diez años en oncología. Respecto a los límites de la intervención y los cuidados al final de la vida durante el tratamiento, el 54,2% de los participantes no trataban del tema. Aunque el 67% de ellos están familiarizados con el término, no lo comentan con sus pacientes, y el 57,2% no realizan una planificación anticipada de atención. La mayoría de los oncólogos no hacen la planificación anticipada de atención ni las directivas anticipadas.

Resumo Considerando a escassez de informações sobre diretivas antecipadas no Brasil, este estudo investiga a compreensão de oncologistas quanto a diretivas antecipadas e a frequência com que discutem sobre diretivas antecipadas e planejamento antecipado de cuidados com seus pacientes. Um estudo observacional, descritivo e transversal foi conduzido com oncologistas clínicos afiliados à Sociedade Brasileira de Oncologia Clínica. Os participantes foram convidados a responder a um questionário preparado pelos autores. No total, 72 médicos responderam ao questionário, dos quais 73% tinham menos de 45 anos de idade e 56% trabalhavam em oncologia há menos de 10 anos. Com relação aos limites de intervenção e cuidados de fim de vida durante o tratamento, 54,2% dos entrevistados relataram não discutir o assunto. Embora 67% dos oncologistas conheçam o termo diretivas antecipadas, eles não as discutem com seus pacientes e 57,2% não realizam planejamento antecipado de cuidados. A maioria dos oncologistas deste estudo não estabelece planejamento de cuidados antecipados e diretivas antecipadas para a maioria dos pacientes.
