ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre a incidência de delirium na unidade de terapia intensiva e qualidade de vida 1 mês após a alta hospitalar Métodos: Trata-se de estudo de coorte prospectivo desenvolvido em unidades de terapia intensiva de dois hospitais de média complexidade durante o período de dezembro de 2015 a dezembro de 2016. Delirium foi identificado por meio da escala Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit. No momento da alta hospitalar, foram avaliadas capacidade funcional e cognição por meio do índice de Barthel e da escala de Mini Exame do Estado Mental, respectivamente. Após 30 dias da alta hospitalar do paciente, por meio de contato telefônico, aplicou-se o questionário World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref. Resultados: Foram incluídos 216 pacientes. Delirium foi identificado em 127 (58,8%) deles. Os pacientes com delirium apresentaram maior dependência funcional (mediana do índice de Barthel 50,0 [21,2 - 70,0] versus 80,0 [60,0 - 95,0]; p < 0,001) e menor cognição (escore do Mini Exame do Estado Mental 12,9 ± 7,5 versus 20,7 ± 9,8; p < 0,001) na alta hospitalar. Com relação à qualidade de vida, avaliada 1 mês após alta hospitalar, não houve diferença, em nenhum dos domínios, entre os pacientes com e sem delirium. Conclusão: Nossos achados sugerem que os pacientes com delirium na unidade de terapia intensiva não apresentam piora da qualidade de vida 1 mês após a alta hospitalar, apesar de apresentarem maior prejuízo cognitivo e incapacidade funcional no momento da alta hospitalar.


Abstract Objective: To evaluate the association between the incidence of delirium in the intensive care unit and quality of life 1 month after hospital discharge. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study conducted in the intensive care units of two medium-complexity hospitals from December 2015 to December 2016. Delirium was identified using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit scale. At the time of hospital discharge, functional capacity and cognition were assessed with the Barthel index and the Mini Mental State Examination, respectively. Thirty days after patient discharge, the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF questionnaire was administered by telephone. Results: A total of 216 patients were included. Delirium was identified in 127 (58.8%) of them. Patients with delirium exhibited greater functional dependence (median Barthel index 50.0 [21.2 - 70.0] versus 80.0 [60.0 - 95.0]; p < 0.001) and lower cognition (Mini Mental State Examination score 12.9 ± 7.5 versus 20.7 ± 9.8; p < 0.001) at hospital discharge. There was no difference in any of the quality-of-life domains evaluated 1 month after hospital discharge between patients with and without delirium. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that patients with delirium in the intensive care unit do not have worse quality of life 1 month after hospital discharge, despite presenting greater cognitive impairment and functional disability at the time of hospital discharge.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever a ocorrência de delirium em pacientes com câncer internados em unidade de terapia intensiva, segundo características clínicas e demográficas. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo realizado com 135 adultos internados na unidade de terapia intensiva de um hospital público especializado em oncologia, localizado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, entre os meses de janeiro e março de 2016. Foram utilizados o teste exato de Fischer e o teste de associação linear para identificar diferenças estatisticamente significativas na ocorrência de delirium entre, respectivamente, variáveis categóricas e ordinais, considerando valor de p < 0,05. Resultados: A ocorrência global de delirium foi igual a 39,3%, sendo foi mais frequente entre pessoas com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos, com performance status que requeria grande assistência/acamado, internaram na unidade de terapia intensiva por problemas clínicos, em uso de drogas sedativas, submetidas à quimioterapia, e permaneceram 8 ou mais dias internados na unidade de terapia intensiva. Considerando apenas os pacientes sob ventilação mecânica, a ocorrência global de delirium foi de 64,6%, e apenas o tempo de permanência na unidade de terapia intensiva ≥ 8 dias mostrou diferença estatisticamente significativa. Conclusão: A ocorrência de delirium em pacientes críticos com câncer é elevada. Considerando apenas aqueles sob ventilação mecânica, a ocorrência desse fenômeno é ainda maior.


ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the occurrence of delirium in cancer patients admitted to the intensive care unit according to clinical and demographic characteristics. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with 135 adults admitted to the intensive care unit of a public cancer hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between January and March 2016. Fisher's exact test and the linear association test were used to identify statistically significant associations between the occurrence of delirium and categorical and ordinal variables, respectively, considering a p-value < 0.05. Results: The overall occurrence of delirium was 39.3%. Delirium was more frequent among individuals aged 60 years or older and those who required extensive assistance or were bedbound, were admitted to the intensive care unit for clinical reasons, were using sedative drugs, were undergoing chemotherapy, and those who remained 8 or more days in the intensive care unit. Considering only patients on mechanical ventilation, the overall occurrence of delirium was 64.6%, and only a length of stay in the intensive care unit ≥ 8 days showed a statistically significant association with delirium. Conclusion: The occurrence of delirium in critically ill cancer patients is high. When only those on mechanical ventilation are considered, the occurrence of delirium is even greater.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyse the strategies found by families to deal with the situation of critical illness, in their lived experience in a family and in an inpatient context. Method: This research fits into a qualitative paradigm and a phenomenological approach, according to Van-Manen. Participants were referred to a "snowball" effect method and the data was collected through interviews with open-ended questions. Results: From the collected data three essential themes emerged revealing the strategies: Being aware; Building dialogue; Ensuring comfort. Final considerations: In the therapeutic intervention nurses verify that families facing a critical-illness interact between themselves and with the ICU team. Families interacting with nurses can find cognitive and emotional support allowing them to be aware of the situation and to speak about it in order to strengthen and to comfort themselves.


RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar as estratégias encontradas pelas famílias para lidar com a situação de doença crítica, em sua experiência vivida dentro do contexto familiar e de internação hospitalar. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa com abordagem fenomenológica, de acordo com os preceitos de Van-Manen. Os participantes foram encaminhados para um método que exerce um efeito "bola de neve". Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas com perguntas abertas. Resultados: A partir dos dados coletados, emergiram três temas essenciais: Estando consciente; Construção do diálogo; Garantindo conforto. Considerações finais: Na intervenção terapêutica, os enfermeiros verificam que as famílias que enfrentam uma doença em estado terminal interagem entre si e com a equipe da UTI. As famílias que interagem com os enfermeiros podem encontrar apoio cognitivo e emocional, permitindo-lhes ter consciência da situação e falar sobre, a fim de se sentirem fortalecidos e confortados.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde, em longo prazo, de sobreviventes de um período de internação na unidade de terapia intensiva por revisão sistemática. Métodos: Busca, seleção e análise de estudos observacionais que avaliaram a qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde de sobreviventes de internação na unidade de terapia intensiva nas bases de dados eletrônicas LILACS e MEDLINE® (acessada pelo PubMed), encontrados por meio dos termos MESH indexados "quality of life [MeSH Terms]" AND "critically ill [MeSH Terms]". Foram incluídos estudos publicados nos últimos 5 anos no idioma inglês realizados em pacientes adultos sem doenças prévias específicas. As citações foram selecionadas independentemente por três revisores. Os dados foram extraídos de forma padronizada e independente por dois revisores, e a qualidade dos estudos foi avaliada utilizando a escala Newcastle-Ottawa. Resultados: Foram incluídos 19 coortes observacionais e 2 estudos caso-controle de 57.712 doentes críticos. O tempo de seguimento dos estudos variou de 6 meses a 6 anos, sendo a maioria dos estudos com 6 meses ou 1 ano de seguimento. A qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde foi avaliada utilizando duas ferramentas genéricas, o EuroQol e o Short Form Health Survey. A qualidade geral dos estudos foi baixa. Conclusões: A qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde, em longo prazo, está comprometida em sobreviventes de internação na unidade de terapia intensiva comparada à da população geral correspondente. Porém, esta não é significativamente afetada pela presença de sepse, delírio e lesão renal aguda durante a internação na unidade de terapia intensiva quando comparada com grupos controle de pacientes críticos. São necessários estudos de alta qualidade para quantificar a qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde em sobreviventes de internação em unidade de terapia intensiva.


ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the long-term, health-related quality of life of intensive care unit survivors by systematic review. Methods: The search for, and selection and analysis of, observational studies that assessed the health-related quality of life of intensive care unit survivors in the electronic databases LILACS and MEDLINE® (accessed through PubMed) was performed using the indexed MESH terms "quality of life [MeSH Terms]" AND "critically illness [MeSH Terms]". Studies on adult patients without specific prior diseases published in English in the last 5 years were included in this systematic review. The citations were independently selected by three reviewers. Data were standardly and independently retrieved by two reviewers, and the quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results: In total, 19 observational cohort and 2 case-control studies of 57,712 critically ill patients were included. The follow-up time of the studies ranged from 6 months to 6 years, and most studies had a 6-month or 1-year follow up. The health-related quality of life was assessed using two generic tools, the EuroQol and the Short Form Health Survey. The overall quality of the studies was low. Conclusions: Long-term, health-related quality of life is compromised among intensive care unit survivors compared with the corresponding general population. However, it is not significantly affected by the occurrence of sepsis, delirium, and acute kidney injury during intensive care unit admission when compared with that of critically ill patient control groups. High-quality studies are necessary to quantify the health-related quality of life among intensive care unit survivors.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar o desfecho psicológico em longo prazo em sobreviventes de doenças críticas, após alta da unidade de terapia intensiva. Métodos: Avaliou-se coorte prospectiva de pacientes sobreviventes após admissão a uma unidade de terapia intensiva mista entre janeiro e setembro de 2010, 6 meses e 5 anos após a alta hospitalar. Aplicaram-se em todos os momentos as seguintes escalas: Dementia Rating Scale-2, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome 14-Questions Inventory, Euro Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5-D) e Visual Analogue Scale (EQ VAS). Resultados: Dentre 267 pacientes, 25 foram avaliados após 6 meses (idade: 62 ± 16 anos). Aos 6 meses, 48% apresentavam comprometimento cognitivo; 24% ansiedade, 16% depressão e 16% transtorno de estresse pós-traumático. Foram reavaliados 5 anos após a alta 17 pacientes, com idade: 65 ± 15 anos. Dentre eles, a frequência de comprometimento cognitivo caiu de 47% para 18% (p = 0,063), em razão da melhora destes pacientes ao longo do tempo e do não surgimento desta condição em outros pacientes após a alta. Ainda após 5 anos, apenas 12% da amostra relatou ansiedade, e nenhum tinha depressão ou transtorno de estresse pós-traumático. Não se encontraram diferenças em termos das escalas EQ-5-D e EQ VAS entre as avaliações após 6 meses e 5 anos. Conclusão: Os sobreviventes não apresentaram declínio progressivo da função cognitiva ou da qualidade de vida dentro de 5 anos após a alta da unidade de terapia intensiva. Os sintomas psicopatológicos tenderam a diminuir com o tempo.


ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the longterm psychological outcome in survivors of critical illness after intensive care unit discharge. Methods: A prospective cohort of survivors admitted to a mixed intensive care unit between January and September 2010 was evaluated six months and five years after hospital discharge. The Dementia Rating Scale-2, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Posttraumatic stress syndrome 14-questions inventory, the Euro Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5-D), and the Visual Analogue Scale (EQ VAS) were assessed at both follow-up periods. Results: Of 267 patients, 25 patients were evaluated at 6 months after discharge (62 ± 16 years); 12 (48%) presented cognitive impairment, 6 (24%) anxiety, 4 (16%) depression, and 4 (16%) post-traumatic stress disorder. Among those re-evaluated five years after discharge (n = 17; 65 ± 15 years), the frequency of cognitive impairment dropped from 8 (47%) to 3 (18%) (p = 0.063), due to improvement in these patients over time, and other patients did not acquire any dysfunction after discharge. At five years after discharge, only two patients (12%) reported anxiety, and none had depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. No differences were found between the six-month and five-year follow-ups regarding EQ-5-D and EQ VAS. Conclusion: Survivors do not show a progressive decline in cognitive function or quality of life within five years after intensive care unit discharge. Psychopathological symptoms tend to decrease with time.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: Understand the impact of critical-illness news on the experience of family members at an Intensive Care Unit. Method: Phenomenological approach according to Van Manen's method. Open interviews were held with 21 family members. From analysis and interpretation of the data, three essential themes were identified: the unexpected; the pronouncement of death; and the impact on self-caring within the family. The study complied with the ethical principles inherent to research involving humans. Results: The unexpected news and death of the sick person influence the well-being and self-care of family members, affecting their ability for analysis and decision making. It was observed that the family experiences the news with suffering, mainly due to the anticipation arising from the events. Final considerations: The humanity of nurses was revealed in response to the needs of the family. In view of the requirements for information, it was verified that the information transmitted allowed them to become aware of themselves, to become empowered in their daily lives and to alleviate the emotional burden experienced.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To describe the experience of an outpatient clinic with the multidisciplinary evaluation of intensive care unit survivors and to analyze their social, psychological, and physical characteristics in a low-income population and a developing country. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study. Adult survivors from a general intensive care unit were evaluated three months after discharge in a post-intensive care unit outpatient multidisciplinary clinic over a period of 6 years (2008-2014) in a University Hospital in southern Brazil. RESULTS: A total of 688 out of 1945 intensive care unit survivors received care at the clinic. Of these, 45.2% had psychological disorders (particularly depression), 49.0% had respiratory impairments (abnormal spirometry), and 24.6% had moderate to intense dyspnea during daily life activities. Patients experienced weight loss during hospitalization (mean=11.7%) but good recovery after discharge (mean gain=9.1%), and 94.6% were receiving nutrition orally. One-third of patients showed a reduction of peripheral muscular strength, and 5.7% had moderate to severe tetraparesis or tetraplegia. There was a significant impairment in quality of life (SF-36), particularly in the physical and emotional aspects and in functional capacity. The economic impacts on the affected families, which were mostly low-income families, were considerable. Most patients did not have full access to rehabilitation services, even though half of the families were receiving financial support from the government. CONCLUSIONS: A significant number of intensive care unit survivors evaluated 3 months after discharge had psychological, respiratory, motor, and socioeconomic problems; these findings highlight that strategies aimed to assist critically ill patients should be extended to the post-hospitalization period and that this problem is particularly important in low-income populations.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O delirium é uma condição importante em pacientes críticos, com impactos em longo prazo em termos de mortalidade, condição cognitiva e funcional, e qualidade de vida. Apesar do progresso ocorrido nos anos recentes em seu diagnóstico, prevenção e tratamento, seu impacto continua relevante, de forma que é necessário explorar novas estratégias de prevenção e tratamento. Dentre as estratégias preventivas não farmacológicas, relatos recentes sugerem o papel da terapia ocupacional por meio de uma série de intervenções que podem ter impacto no desenvolvimento do delirium. O objetivo desta revisão é avaliar os estudos que discutem o papel da terapia ocupacional na prevenção do delirium em populações de pacientes críticos, além de sugerir perspectivas para pesquisas nesta área.


ABSTRACT Delirium is a relevant condition in critically ill patients with long-term impacts on mortality, cognitive and functional status and quality of life. Despite the progress in its diagnosis, prevention and management during the last years, its impact persists being relevant, so new preventive and therapeutic strategies need to be explored. Among non-pharmacologic preventive strategies, recent reports suggest a role for occupational therapy through a series of interventions that may impact the development of delirium. The aim of this review is to evaluate the studies evaluating the role of occupational therapy in the prevention of delirium in critically ill patient populations, and suggests perspectives to future research in this area.

ABSTRACT

Conocer las vivencias de la familia del paciente de una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI), es fundamental para su relación con el equipo de salud, en especial con el de Enfermería. El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer las creencias, sentimientos e incertidumbre frente a la enfermedad de los familiares de pacientes internados en UCI. Se realizó un estudio prospectivo, observacional, con un enfoque cuali-cuantitativo en la UCI del Hospital Guillermo Grant Benavente de Concepción. La información se recolecto, a través de una entrevista semiestructurada y se utilizo la escala de incertidumbre frente a la enfermedad de Mishel. Fueron incluidos en el estudio a familiares de pacientes, durante los meses de julio a septiembre del 2010. Para el análisis de los datos de utilizó el programa SPSS, y para el análisis cualitativo el Método de Giorgi. Se incluyeron 12 familiares de los pacientes (5 hombres y 7 mujeres). De acuerdo a los datos obtenidos, el 67 por ciento de los pacientes presentó un nivel de incertidumbre alto y un 33 por ciento presentó un bajo nivel de incertidumbre. Si comparamos las medias de los factores de incertidumbre, la inconsistencia y la ambigüedad se encuentran sobre la media, siendo mayor esta última. Tras el análisis cualitativo, en cuanto a las creencias de los familiares, la UCI es para los pacientes graves y que se preocupan de él las 24 horas del día, y entre los principales sentimientos se encuentran: la angustia, la preocupación, el miedo a la muerte y la pena. Los elevados niveles de incertidumbre, son de gran importancia para enfermería, ya que nos permite implementar medidas para poder disminuirlo, y conocer las creencias y sentimientos, lo que permite establecer intervenciones que contribuyan al proceso de humanización de los cuidados intensivos.


Understanding the experiences of the patient’s family of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is fundamental to its relationship with the health team, especially with nursing. The aim of this study was known the beliefs, feelings and uncertainty about the illness of family members of patients in ICU. We performed a prospective, observational study with a qualitative and quantitative approach in the ICU of Hospital Guillermo Grant Benavente of Concepción. The information was collected through a semi structured interview and uses the scale of uncertainty the Mishel. In the study were included relatives of patients during July to September 2010. We analyzed data using SPSS and qualitative analysis with method Giorgi. We included 12 relatives of patients (5 men and 7 women). Results: According to data obtained, 67 percent of patients had a high level of uncertainty and 33 percent had a low level of uncertainty. Comparing the averages of the factors of uncertainty, the inconsistency and ambiguity were above average, being more the latter. After qualitative analysis, as to the beliefs of the family: the ICU is for critical ill patients, who are worried about him 24 hours a day and the main feelings include: anxiety, worry, fear of death and grief. A high level of uncertainty is of great importance for the nursing because it allows us to implement measures to reduce it, and learn about the beliefs and feelings, which allow for interventions that contribute to the process of humanization of intensive care.

ABSTRACT

Ao acompanhar pessoas em processo do morrer, percebemos e aprendemos que aquelas que descobrem que a sua vida tem um significado, morrem bem. Aquelas para quem a vida não parece ter sentido, não vivem bem e por isso mesmo o seu processo de morrer é tormentoso. Cabe a quem acompanha o moribundo perscrutar-lhe atentamente a fala, procurando com paciência e sutileza detectar o menor sinal de um interesse camuflado. Esse é na certa o primeiro sinal que revelará os desejos não satisfeitos, cuidadosamente escondidos no âmago da alma do enfermo. Para melhor esclarecer ao leitor o que entendemos por “sentido da vida”, apresentaremos dois casos clínicos de pacientes acompanhados no Ambulatório de Cuidados Paliativos (CP) do Hospital São Paulo da Unifesp, e um outro relatado por um colega.

The admission of patients into a intensive care unit (ICU), put them in a situation completely unknown. This brings experiences that are unexpected for the patients, whose profile characteristics make them even more vulnerable, becoming in an even more intense experience. The aim of the present work is to collect quantitative and qualitative information concerning patients experience in the ICU, among which are the following: emotional disorders such as fear, sadness, anger, stress and low self-esteem, somatic manifestations include discomfort, pain, desperation to be with the endotracheal tube, among others. As for the perceptions and limitations of the disease, ranging from denial to acceptance and limitations are personal, family and work. Among the aspects of hospitalization, include perceptions of the health care team, care and hospital environment. The role of family members is also highlighted in this study, since family represents an indispensable source of support for the recovery of patients. Further, religiousness and spiritual support can play a key role in the healing process and can help patients and family members through challenges associated with illness. The study shows that perceptions of time remaining and distance from death makes patients feel weak and vulnerable. All these experiences can lead to a radical change of life, both physically and emotionally when they are discharged from hospital.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the levels of relocation stress syndrome (RSS) and influencing the stress experienced by Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients just after transfer to general wards. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 257 patients who transferred from the intensive care unit. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires from May to October, 2009. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and stepwise multiple linear regression with SPSS/WIN 12.0. RESULTS: The mean score for RSS was 17.80+/-9.16. The factors predicting relocation stress syndrome were symptom experience, differences in scope and quality of care provided by ICU and ward nursing staffs, satisfaction with transfer process, length of stay in ICU and economic status, and these factors explained 40% of relocation stress syndrome (F=31.61, p<.001). CONCLUSION: By understanding the stress experienced by ICU patients, nurses are better able to provide psychological support and thus more holistic care to critically ill patients. Further research is needed to consider the impact of relocation stress syndrome on patients' health outcomes in the recovery trajectory.
