ABSTRACT

A pandemia de covid-19 provocou intensas mudanças no contexto do cuidado neonatal, exigindo dos profissionais de saúde a reformulação de práticas e o desenvolvimento de novas estratégias para a manutenção da atenção integral e humanizada ao recém-nascido. O objetivo deste artigo é relatar a atuação da Psicologia nas Unidades Neonatais de um hospital público de Fortaleza (CE), Brasil, durante o período de distanciamento físico da pandemia de covid-19. Trata-se de estudo descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência, que ocorreu no período de março a agosto de 2020. No contexto pandêmico, o serviço de Psicologia desenvolveu novas condutas assistenciais para atender às demandas emergentes do momento, como: atendimento remoto; registro e envio on-line de imagens do recém-nascido a seus familiares; visitas virtuais; e reprodução de mensagens de áudio da família para o neonato. Apesar dos desafios encontrados, as ações contribuíram para a manutenção do cuidado centrado no recém-nascido e sua família, o que demonstra a potencialidade do fazer psicológico.(AU)


The COVID-19 pandemic brought intense changes to neonatal care and required health professionals to reformulate practices and develop new strategies to ensure comprehensive and humanized care for newborn. This study aims to report the experience of the Psychology Service in the Neonatal Units of a public hospital in Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará, Brazil, during the social distancing period of the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive experience report study was conducted from March to August 2020. During the pandemic, the Psychology Service developed new care practices to meet the emerging demands of that moment, such as remote care, recordings and online submission of newborns' pictures and video images for their family, virtual tours, and reproduction of family audio messages for the newborns. Despite the challenges, the actions contributed to the maintenance of a care that is centered on the newborns and their families, which shows the potential of psychological practices.(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT SARS-CoV-2 has a high risk of outbreak in long-term skilled nursing facilities (SNF). Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has high mortality rates among the elderly with chronic health conditions. Following identification of COVID-19 index case in a SNF, serial point-prevalence was implemented with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunochromatographic assays. Active surveillance and early isolation of infected patients were implemented. Out of 23 SNF residents and 26 healthcare workers (HCW), 18 (78%) and 12 (46%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, respectively. High proportion (38%) of positive patients were asymptomatic and RT-PCR was positive up to six days before symptoms. Five (21.74%) residents were hospitalized with COVID-19, and 2 (9%) died; only 1 (4%) HCW needed to be hospitalized and no staff members died. Active surveillance helped COVID-19 control and management in a SNF. Testing symptomatic individuals only may fail to identify and isolate all persons contributing to transmission. In high-risk elderly, only symptoms screening may not be enough for outbreak control.

ABSTRACT

Resumen 19. La Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) se caracteriza por atender pacientes de extrema gravedad, donde el cuidado prima en su totalidad. La UCI, además, es una unidad cerrada y con cupos limitados, donde el personal que labora está altamente especializado, haciendo que sus funciones se limiten a ella. Esto provoca que los cuidados especializados se concentren en unidades intensivas, dejando a las unidades más básicas sin esta cobertura, de tal manera que el paciente críticamente enfermo o en vías de descompensación tenga un rápido deterioro en salas de menor complejidad por falta de atención específica. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de la literatura, que consiste en la utilización de buscadores y bases de datos especializadas. Se estructuró, finalmente, un narrativo de los resultados. Los Servicios de Extensión de Cuidados Críticos se aplican ya en distintas partes del mundo, sobre todo en Europa, Canadá, Australia y Argentina, pensando en la calidad de atención especialista al paciente crítico, bajo esta metodología. Se intentó identificar y describir funciones, determinar la estructura, beneficios y dificultades en la implementación de un Servicio de Extensión de Cuidados Críticos en el paciente adulto para que en un futuro se pueda aplicar a nuestra realidad tanto local como nacional.


Abstract 23. The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is characterized by treating patients of extreme severity, where the care premium in its entirety. The UCI, in addition, is a closed unit with limited places, where the staff that works is highly specialized, making its functions limited to it. This causes specialized care to be concentrated in intensive units, leaving the most basic units without this coverage, in such a way that the patient critically ill or in the process of decompensation has a rapid deterioration in rooms of less complexity due to lack of specific attention. A systematic search of the literature was carried out, which consists of the use of search engines and specialized databases. Finally, a narrative of the results was structured. The Critical Care Extension Services are already applied in different parts of the world, especially in Europe, Canada, Australia and Argentina, thinking about the quality of specialist care for critical patients, under this methodology. We tried to identify and describe functions, determine the structure, benefits and difficulties in the implementation of a Critical Care Extension Service in the adult patient so that in the future it can be applied to our local and national reality.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To compare extended care facility (ECF) and home as discharge destination after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at a single high-volume tertiary center in South Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 1,120 primary TKAs (614 patients) performed between January 2012 and December 2013. A telephonic survey was conducted to determine discharge destination. The data reviewed included demographic and surgical data, functional outcome at 2 years and complications within 3 months. RESULTS: ECF and home received 316 patients (51%) and 298 patients (49%), respectively. The ECF group had more bilateral TKA patients than the home group (272 vs. 234; p=0.014) and more patients with additional hospital stay (44 vs. 22; p=0.009). A higher tendency of complications was seen at home (n=8, 2.7%) than the ECF (n=2, 0.6%) (p=0.057). No significant differences were found in any functional outcome measure. Home patients had better patient satisfaction than ECF patients (81.9% vs. 54.3%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Patients who returned home after discharge had similar functional outcome at 2 years after surgery and higher patient satisfaction than those in the ECF in spite of the higher tendency of complications. Patients need adequate counseling and education regarding advantages and limitations of the two discharge destinations.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Nursing home resident care is an ongoing topic of public discussion, and there is great interest in improving the quality of resident care. This study investigated the association between nursing home employees' job satisfaction and residents' satisfaction with care and medical outcomes. METHODS: Employee and resident satisfaction were measured by questionnaire in 175 skilled nursing facilities in the eastern United States from 2005 to 2009. Facility-level data on residents' pressure ulcers, medically unexplained weight loss, and falls were obtained from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Long-Term Care Minimum Data Set. The association between employee satisfaction and resident satisfaction was examined with multiple and multilevel linear regression. Associations between employee satisfaction and the rates of pressure ulcers, weight loss, and falls were examined with simple and multilevel Poisson regression. RESULTS: A 1-point increase in overall employee satisfaction was associated with an increase of 17.4 points (scale 0–100) in the satisfaction of residents and family members (p < 0.0001) and a 19% decrease in the incidence of resident falls, weight loss, and pressure ulcers combined (p < 0.0001), after adjusting for staffing ratio and percentage of resident-days paid by Medicaid. CONCLUSION: Job satisfaction of nursing home employees is associated with lower rates of resident injuries and higher resident satisfaction with care. A supportive work environment may help increase quality of care in the nation's nursing homes.

ABSTRACT

Summary Introduction: Notifiable diseases (NDs) encompass conditions of high clinical severity and/or contagious. Being closed communities, long-term care facilities (LTCF) are places that deserve attention on their own, but one might be left wondering: what is the reality of NDs at Brazilian LTCFs? Objective: To determine the prevalence and type of NDs at large LTCF. Method: Active search for NDs conducted by the Hospital Infection Control Committee (HICC) in 459 beds. Due to the low turnover of patients, the monthly list kept by the HICC on NDs was analyzed. Data were grouped into males and females, and into elderly (age ≥ 60 years) and non-elderly (age ≤ 59 years). Results: 31 diseases in 29 patients (6.9% of all inpatients - 19 males and 10 females): 23 cases of hepatitis C, five of hepatitis B, two of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and one case of renal tuberculosis. One patient with hepatitis B and another HIV-positive also had hepatitis C. There was no statistical significance in the comparison of the two groups with the total number of other institutionalized patients - by age and gender - for total number of NDs and cases of hepatitis C (p>0.05). Conclusion: Chronic NDs and those requiring chronic treatment observed in this study suggest that Brazil needs more studies to define the dynamics of these diseases at LTCFs.


Resumo Introdução: Doenças de notificação compulsória (DNC) abrangem quadros de alta gravidade clínica e/ou de contágio. Sendo comunidades fechadas, instituições de longa permanência para idosos (ILPI) são locais que merecem atenção quanto a elas. Mas qual seria a realidade das DNC em ILPI brasileiras? Objetivo: Determinar prevalência e tipo de DNC em ILPI de grande porte. Método: Busca ativa de DNC pela Comissão de Controle de Infecção Hospitalar (CCIH) em 459 leitos. Em razão da baixa rotatividade de pacientes, analisou-se lista mensal da CCIH sobre DNC. Dividiram-se os dados entre homens e mulheres e entre idosos (idade ≥ 60 anos) e não idosos (idade ≤ 59 anos). Resultados: 31 doenças em 29 pacientes (6,9% do total de internados - 19 homens e 10 mulheres): 23 casos de hepatite C, cinco de hepatite B, dois de positividade sorológica ao vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) e um caso de tuberculose renal. Um paciente com hepatite B e outro com HIV positivo eram também portadores de hepatite C. Não houve significância estatística quando foram comparados os dois grupos com o total dos outros internados - por idade e gênero - pelo total de DNC e nos casos de hepatite C (p>0,05). Conclusão: Pesquisa em 15/11/2008 no portal http://www.scielo.br/não detectou casuísticas em ILPI, exceto por revisões sobre tuberculose. DNC de caráter e/ou tratamento crônico observadas neste estudo sugerem a necessidade de maior número de publicações para definir a dinâmica dessas doenças em ILPI brasileiras.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to compare the level of fear of death in nursing students and professionals. METHOD: this was a comparative-transversal study examining 643 nursing students and professionals from a third-level institution. A random sampling method was employed, and the sample size was calculated by power analysis. The study was developed during three stages: the first stage consisted of the application of a pilot test, the second stage involved the recruitment of the participants, and the third stage measured the participants' responses on the Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale. RESULTS: the average fear of death was moderate-high (-X=3.19±0.55), and the highest score was observed for the fear of the death of others (-X=3.52±0.20). Significant differences in the perceptions of fear of death were observed among the students of the first three years (p<.05). However, no significant differences were observed among the first- and fourth-year students and professionals (p>.05). CONCLUSIONS: it is possible that first-year students exhibit a reduced fear of death because they have not had the experience of hospital practice. Students in their second and third year may have a greater fear of death because they have cared for terminal patients. However, it appears that greater confidence is acquired over time, and thus fourth-year students and professionals exhibit less fear of death than second- and third-year students (p<.05). .


OBJETIVO: comparar o nível de medo da morte em estudantes e profissionais de enfermagem. MÉTODO: comparativo-transversal. Os participantes eram 643 estudantes e profissionais de Enfermagem de uma instituição de terceiro nível. Amostragem aleatória, a amostra foi calculada pela análise de potência. O estudo foi desenvolvido durante três etapas: a primeira etapa foi a aplicação de um teste piloto, a segunda etapa incluiu o recrutamento dos participantes e, na terceira etapa, foi aplicada a Escala de Medo da Morte Collett-Lester. RESULTADOS: a média de medo da morte foi moderada-alta (-X=3,19±0,55). A pontuação mais alta foi do medo da morte de outros (-X=3,52±0,20). A percepção do medo da morte foi diferente entre os estudantes dos três primeiros anos (p<,05). Os estudantes do 1o e do 4o ano e os profissionais não mostraram diferenças (p>,05). CONCLUSÕES: possivelmente, os estudantes do 1o ano percebem um menor medo da morte porque não tiveram a experiência da prática hospitalar. Os estudantes do 2o e do 3o ano têm maior medo da morte porque já cuidaram de pacientes terminais. Aparentemente, conforme o tempo passa (estudantes do 4o ano e profissionais), adquire-se mais confiança e o medo da morte diminui (p<,05). .

Los participantes fueron 643 estudiantes y profesionales de Enfermería de una institución de tercer nivel. Muestreo aleatorio, la muestra se calculó por el análisis de potencia. El estudio se desarrolló durante tres etapas: la primera etapa fue la aplicación de una prueba piloto, la segunda etapa abarcó el reclutamiento de los participantes y la tercera etapa se aplicó la Escala de Miedo la Muerte de Collett-Lester. RESULTADOS: el promedio del miedo a la muerte fue moderado-alto (-X=3.19±0.55). El puntaje más alto fue miedo a la muerte de otros (-X=3.52±0.20). La percepción del miedo a la muerte entre los estudiantes de los primeros tres años, fueron diferentes (p<.05). Los estudiantes de 1°, 4° y profesionales no muestran diferencias (p>.05). CONCLUSIONES: posiblemente, los estudiantes de 1° perciben menor miedo a la muerte porque no han tenido la experiencia de práctica hospitalaria. Estudiantes de 2° y 3° tienen mayor miedo a la muerte porque han cuidado a pacientes terminales. Parece ser que conforme va pasando el tiempo (estudiantes de 4° y profesionales) se adquiere mayor confianza y el miedo a la muerte va disminuyendo (p<.05). .

ABSTRACT

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of technical nursing concern on prevention and management of pressure ulcers. A quasi-experimental design was used in the conduction of this study as a research methodology. The study was conducted in the following units [oncology, intensive care, orthopedic, neurological and bum at children hospital, Ain Shams Hospital, El-Demerdash Hospital, El-Mataria Hospital and New Children Hospital. A purposive sample included 100 pediatric nurses, 80 medical-surgical nurses, 75 child aged from 6-18 years plus 50 adult patients without pressure ulcers at admission and 50 child plus 50 adult patients having ulcers from the aforementioned settings. Different tools were used for data collection [pre/post tests]; 1] Self-administered questionnaire to assess nurses' knowledge, 2] An observation checklist to assess nurses' practice, 3] The Braden scale for predicting risk of pressure ulcers; 4] Pressure ulcers assessment scale and 5] Pressure ulcers healing scale. The study revealed that there were highly statistically significant differences between knowledge and practice of nurses in different settings about pressure ulcers [prevention and management] in pre/ post tests. Increasing technical nursing concern through educational program had a positive effect on prevention and management of pressure ulcers. The educational programs and workshops about pressure ulcers [prevention and management] are needed. Further studies are needed to shed light on non-traditional methods of pressure ulcers management

ABSTRACT

La diabetes mellitus es una de las enfermedades más frecuentes en todo el mundo y un problema de salud pública debido a sus complicaciones crónicas y agudas. Los pacientes presentan hiperglucemia persistente acompañada de alteraciones en el metabolismo lipídico y proteico que conducen a lesiones vasculares, afectando a grandes y pequeños vasos produciendo macro y microangiopatías; además, lesiones neuropáticas, nefróticas e inmunológicas, que en conjunto producen disminución en la calidad de vida, limitaciones funcionales y en algunos casos hasta la muerte. En este trabajo se revisan las intervenciones que debe planificar y ejecutar el personal de enfermería en relación al ciudado del paciente diabético y las atenciones en el manejo de las complicaciones agudas y crónicas más comunes

ABSTRACT

Most extended care facilities have admitted both the healthy and unhealthy elderly, among which members' average caring demand vary. The Aged Welfare Law, however, currently provides no reasonable basis on the staffing policy for extended care facilities. It just reflects the admitted number of the elderly rather than differences in members' average caring demand among facilities. This study is designed to estimate the need for caring staff on the basis of the correlation between the individual health status measured by various tools including Activities of Daily Living and caring demand by actual service time for each one. The sample included all of the admitted elderly(187 persons) in 4 extended care facilities, two in Seoul and the other two in KangWon-Do over the survey period October 5 through October 20, 1996. The survey process consisted of 3 stages. (1) The current staffing information was collected through self-completed written questionnaires left for head official in each facility. (2) Six graduate students at School of Public Health interviewed all residents to collect information on their health status and sociodemographics. The response rate for the interview was relatively high(85%). (3) Information on direct and indirect caring time consumed for each residents came from self-completed written questionnaires given to nurses and helpers in each target facilities. Analysis of the data was made using Pearson's correlation and multiple regression technique through SAS program. Based on this procedure, the following was found. 1. No facility meet the staffing standard in the Aged Welfare Law completely. 2. It is actual service time that is most correlated with ADL(Activities of daily living). 3. When all of the elderly are divided by four groups based on the level of ADL, the mean values of needed caring time in each group are 15, 21, 36 and 88 minutes respectively. 4. There is no significant difference among facilities in distribution of elderly person by group. 5. No facility meets the estimated number of nurses and helpers which reflects health status of the admitted elderly. Therefore, it is required that severity of the admitted elderly be considered in establishing staffing standard for extended care facility.

ABSTRACT

Las autoras del presente trabajo como mujeres y enfermeras concientes de la importancia de la defensa profesional y luego de haber sido actores sociales temporales de una realidad, creyeron necesaria la realización de una investigación Operativa en la unidad de cuidados intensivos del Hospital Vozandes de Quito identificando como problema relevante los factores de riesgo a los que se hallan expuestas las enfermeras que laboran en esta área, haciendose necesario conocer sus repercusiones en la salud física y mental para poder intervenir. Se tuvo como objetivo el mejorar las condiciones de salud ambientales y de trabajo de las enfermeras que laboran en la unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, en coparticipación de todos los sujetos inmersos en esa realidad. Se plantearon dos premisas en el desarrollo del trabajo que se operacionalizaron en funciones de tres variables como ambiente de trabajo, cargos laborales y condiciones de salud física y mental de las enfermeras. Se aplicó la metodología de la investigación Operativa (ajustándola en determinados momentos a la realidad del problema, llegando a seleccionar y plantear varias estratégias que pretendían sino solucionar al menos mejorar las condiciones laborales y de salud de las enfermeras. Se trabajó mediante la aplicación de encuestas individuales, entrevista colectiva en la que se elaboran mapas de riesgo del área física, de un paciente crítico dentro del área y una matriz globalizadora del perfil de riesgos, molestias y enfermedades con las respectivas medidas propuestas, de donde surge la participación de las investigadoras para la sugerencia de diversas soluciones a los problemas identificados. Se realizaron pruebas de cortisol plasmático como marcadores biológicos de estrés y entrevistas psicológicas que por su elevado costo no fue posible realizar a todo el universo, más aún considerando el presupuesto económico para el desarrollo de la investigación fue específico de las autoras. Se identificó un conjunto de cargas laborales, riesgo de trabajo y otras exigencias que determinan el aparecimiento de molestias, síntomas y enfermedades que afectan en su aspecto físico, emocional y espiritual.

ABSTRACT

O estudo sobre a situaçao da assistência ao idoso internado institucionalmente realizou-se em quatro instituiçoes geriátricas e gerontológicas, bem como asilares, no município do Rio de Janeiro, no período de abril a setembro de 1990. Propoe-se entre os objetivos a delineaçao do perfil do idoso internado e a validaçao do padrao básico de atençao ao idoso (PBAI) considerando as açoes de saúde desenvolvidas nessas instituiçoes, segundo a percepçao dos internos. Abordou-se a concepçao materialista-histórica para nortear a análise da situaçao de internaçao. Adotou-se o método quali-quantitativo, e as técnicas de investigaçao social e análise administrativa. A populaçao abrangida compreendeu 775 idosos internados em instituiçoes do setor público, em âmbitos federal, estadual e municipal. Obteve-se as informaçoes dos idosos por meio de entrevistas, observaçao direta e levantamento de registros dos prontuários de pacientes referentes às variáveis demográficas, sócio-economicas e da situaçao de internaçao. Para identificaçao das instituiçoes, obteve-se informaçoes de seus dirigentes por meio de entrevistas quanto aos dados da tipologia e da força de trabalho. Aplicou-se, também, a observaçao direta e a técnica de análise administrativa da estrutura organizacional e funcionamento. Os resultados indicaram o perfil do idoso internado - trata-se de pessoas, a maioria, do sexo feminino, embora a diferença nao seja significativa, com idade entre 72 a 80 anos, estado civil predomina o viúvo seguido de solteiro, o nível de instruçao entre analfabeto e alfabetizado, brasileiro, religiao católica romana, foram economicamente ativas e empregados sob o regime CLT no setor privado. A maioria é dependente do conjugue, pensionista em média entre 5,3 a 17,5 anos. A aposentadoria predomina por invalidez com tempo médio entre 10 e 20.8 anos recebendo 1 salário mínimo, embora a maioria nao soubesse informar. A internaçao institucional se deu, na maioria, por desejo da família e decisao do profissional médico, sendo as causas determinantes psico-social e psico-patológicas e sociais. O tempo médio de internaçao situa-se entre 18 e 30 meses; a maioria dos internos recebe visitas dos filhos para confraternizaçao e as saídas ocorrem trimestral e semestralmente. Conceituou-se as instituiçoes com os dados obtidos segundo o critério proposto - nenhum oferece assistência de qualidade "desejável" para obter conceito bom (260 a 325 pontos) - a instituiçao A e B obtiveram conceito de atençao "
