ABSTRACT
@#Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of implementation of a neurological sub-specialized nursing module in critically ill neurological patients. Methods: We selected 22 neurological nurses from our hospital in Nanchang, China as study subjects. The outcome of 100 neurological patients were documented and evaluated. The period from December 2017 to March 2018 was the preimplementation period, in which the conventional nursing was implemented in 50 patients. The time from April 2018 to July 2018 was the post-implementation period, in which the sub-specialized nursing module was implemented with another 50 patients. We conducted assessment and evaluation consisting of doctor satisfaction, nursing complications (aspiration, diarrhea, pressure sores, and ventilatorassociated pneumonia), and the comprehensive ability of nurses in the pre- and post-implementation periods. Results: The total comprehensive ability score of the nurses after implementing the nursing module was higher than that before the implementation (P < 0.05). The satisfaction rate of doctors after implementation (95.45%) was also higher (68.18%) (P < 0.05), and the incidences of nursing complications (aspiration, diarrhea, pressure sores, and ventilator-associated pneumonia) among patients were lower after implementing the nursing module (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The implementation of a sub-specialized nursing module in the care of patients with critically ill neurological diseases can improve the comprehensive ability of nurses and the satisfaction rate of doctors as well as reducing the incidence of nursing-related complications.
ABSTRACT
Objetivos: Analisar a incidência de suspensão de cirurgias, categorizar os cancelamentos cirúrgicos por especialidades médicas e identificar as suas principais causas. Método: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo, retrospectivo, realizado em um hospital de ensino do nordeste brasileiro. A população foi constituída por 1.600 cirurgias eletivas programadas no período de janeiro a setembro de 2013. A análise dos dados foi realizada através de estatística descritiva. Resultados: A taxa global de cancelamento de procedimento cirúrgico foi de 19,5%. As maiores frequências de suspensão ocorreram nas cirurgias pediátricas, oncológicas e gerais. Foram identificadas 23 causas para o cancelamento de cirurgias na instituição, dentre elas destacaram-se o absenteísmo do paciente e as condições institucionais, representadas principalmente por problemas com recursos materiais, humanos e organização do serviço. Conclusão: A taxa de cancelamento de cirurgia remete à necessidade de reduzi-la; para tal, faz-se mister o monitoramento contínuo desse indicador e a implementação de estratégias para sua redução.
Objectives: To analyze the incidence of surgery suspension, to categorize surgical cancellations into medical specialties, and to identify its main causes. Method: Quantitative, descriptive, and retrospective study carried out in a teaching hospital in the Northeast region of Brazil. The population was composed of 1,600 elective surgeries scheduled from January to September in 2013. Data analysis was performed through descriptive statistics. Results: The overall rate of surgical procedure cancellation was 19.5%. The most frequent suspensions occurred in pediatric, oncology, and general surgeries. Twenty-three causes for surgery cancellation were found in the institution, amongst them patients' absence and institutional conditions represented mainly by problems with material, human, and organization service-related resources. Conclusion: The rate of surgery cancellation refers to the need of reducing it; for such, it is necessary to monitor this indicator continuously and to implement strategies for its reduction.
Objetivos: Analizar la incidencia para suspensión de cirugías, categorizar las cancelaciones quirúrgicas por especialidades médicas e identificar sus principales causas. Método: Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, retrospectivo realizado en un hospital universitario del noreste del Brasil. La población constituida por 1.600 cirugías programadas de enero a septiembre de 2013. El análisis de datos se realizó utilizando estadística descriptiva. Resultados: La tasa global para cancelación de cirugías fue de 19,5%. Los mayores porcentajes de suspensión fueron encontrados en las cirugias pediatricas, oncologícas y las generales. Se identificaron 23 causas para cancelación de cirugías en la institución, entre ellas se destacaron la ausencia del paciente y las condiciones institucionales, representadas principalmente por problemas con recursos materiales, humanos y organizacionales. Conclusión: Es necesario controlar e implementar estrategias para reducir la taxa de suspension encontrada.
