ABSTRACT

AIMS: To translate and adapt the Coma Recovery Scale - Revised to Portuguese using the ICNP® (International Classification of Nursing Practice) terminology and to determine if it can be administered reliably across examiners. BACKGROUND: Assessment tools for the person in a coma can contribute to the planning, implementation and evaluation of care. It also strengthens the autonomy and responsibility of nurses, contributing to the safety, quality and satisfaction of those who deliver and receive care. This allows the sharing of information amongst healthcare professionals and supports decision-making within a multidisciplinary team. METHODS: A convenience sample of 20 patients admitted to an intensive care unit constituted the study participants. The data were collected during 2009. The instrument was administered by the same two raters in all the patients on two consecutive days. The total and subscale score agreement was then examined, using inter-rater and test-retest analyses. The intercorrelation dependencies between the subscales were also analysed. RESULTS: The results of the analyses suggest that the instrument can be used reliably, even when there are some patient fluctuations. The correlation of the subscale scores was high and better than the results presented for the original Coma Recovery Scale - Revised, indicating that this scale is a homogeneous measure of neurobehavioural function. CONCLUSION: The new instrument can be administered reliably by trained examiners and produces a high degree of reproducibility in scores between raters over repeated assessments. We believe that assessment tools that can assess the communication ability of patients will be relevant to evaluating the continuity of care, and promote the effectiveness of care.

ABSTRACT

As condições da vida quotidiana em que se processa a formação profissional, seus contextos e dimensões sociais das relações entre os diferentes “atores” ocupam lugar determinante na formação. Assim, é fundamental que os estudantes satisfaçam as suas necessidades humanas básicas (NHB) para que seu crescimento pessoal e profissional seja adequado. Além disso, é importante investigar como está decorrendo a satisfação das NHB neste grupo para planejar metodologias de intervenção e reestruturação de atividades acadêmicas para favorecer o desenvolvimento psicológico, social e cultural dos estudantes e promover a auto-avaliação da priorização de suas NHB. O objetivo deste estudo exploratório-descritivo foi avaliar a forma como os estudantes do curso de Licenciatura em Enfermagem percebem a satisfação das suas NHB ao longo de uma semana. Para a coleta de dados foi elaborado um instrumento composto por 7 planilhas de registro do tempo utilizado pelos estudantes. Da análise dos dados, concluiu-se que as necessidades onde os estudantes utilizaram mais tempo foram as de dormir e repousar e de aprender, com 59,2% de ocupação do tempo total da semana. Apesar de existirem variações no tempo utilizado para a satisfação das diversas necessidades ao longo da semana, estas não são significativas. As necessidades de evitar os perigos e de agir segundo as suas crenças e valores, foram as necessidades que os estudantes utilizaram menos tempo.
