Patient Undergoing Liver Transplantation: Challenges and Strategies in the Face of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to identify the challenges and strategies experienced by patients undergoing liver transplantation during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This was a descriptive study with a qualitative approach conducted in a large liver transplant hospital in southern Brazil. RESULTS: The participants included liver transplant patients between the years 2011 and 2022. Data collection was performed using a semi-structured interview. Data analysis comprised approximation of information and calculation of percentages. RESULTS: A total of 23 patients participated. Challenges identified included an increased dependence on others for daily activities, fear and stress due to the possibility of contamination, and the need for isolation from family and friends. Strategies included adaptation to the daily routine, reorganization of tasks inside and outside the home, formation of a support network, and reduced attendance to consultations and exams. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence of anguish and suffering of patients facing isolation and separation from family members was observed. Still, the study revealed the strength and determination of the patients to create strategies for preventing the SARS-CoV-2 virus and caring for themselves and their families. The study demonstrates the need for support from the health team in the face of such a scenario.

Employees' emotional awareness as an antecedent of organizational commitment-The mediating role of affective commitment to the leader.

Commitment has been perceived as a strategic topic in organizations due to its positive effect on retaining talent, increasing performance, or boosting employees' innovative behavior. However there are many focis of commitment in the workplace, which has represented a challenge to human resources management, who need implement measures to improve the employee's commitment. Recent research has suggested a need to conduct studies about commitment, namely antecedents and the relationship between different focis, to understand the dynamic and directionality between them. Hence, the purpose of this work is to analyze how employees' emotional awareness relates with two focis of commitment (the leader and the organization), also assessing the mediating role of affective commitment to the leader. The study uses structural equation modeling and Lisrel to test the hypotheses considering the multidimensionality of organizational commitment (affective; normative; and continuance), employees emotional awareness (understanding self-emotions; self-control when facing criticism; and understanding others' emotions), and the affective commitment to the leader, under the scope of Social Exchange Theory. The Mackinon's Z Test was used to assess the mediation role of affective commitment to the leader. The sample is composed for 403 employees from two multinational companies. The results provide empirical evidence about the mediating role of affective commitment to the leader in the relationship between employees' emotional awareness and organizational commitment, and the employees' emotional awareness as an antecedent of commitment. The implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Technologies During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Teleconsultation in Care Management for Patients Undergoing Liver Transplant.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to identify home care management strategies for patients undergoing liver transplant, through teleconsultation, during the COVID-19 pandemic for maintenance and improvements in treatment adherence. METHODS: This was a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive research study. Participants included patients who underwent liver transplant between 2020 and 2021. Through a semistructured script, data were analyzed according to the recommendations of content analysis and then simple statistics were applied. RESULTS: Twenty-two people participated in the study. Two analysis categories were developed, which resulted in 7 strategies and 22 care actions. The care strategy with the highest adherence involved actions related to the prevention of COVID-19. CONCLUSIONS: Teleconsultation is an excellent tool to manage and supervise post-liver transplant care of patients. Considering that teleconsultation has presented strategies and care actions, which were developed by the patients, the patients have a direct effect on treatment adherence despite pandemic impositions.

Family Interview Evaluation for Organ Donation: Communication of Death and Information About Organ Donation.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to identify variables related to organ donation that can contribute to the development of best practices in planning and conducting family interviews by health professionals. METHODS: This descriptive and prospective study of quantitative approach was conducted at 2 southern Brazil health institutions referenced in organ donation. Data collection occurred between 2018 and 2019 by health professionals who conduct family interviews using validated instruments that assessed the stages of the interview. Analysis was performed by means of the proportions of the studied variables associated with the donation authorization categories per the χ2 test. The significance level adopted was 0.05. RESULTS: The variables that presented the highest level of significance in the correlation with the prevalence of family authorization for organ donation included the following: communication with the family about the results of each test in the brain death diagnostic protocol; identification of whether the family understood the information about the death; presence of a member of the transplantation commission who had training to communicate information about organ donation; presence of a family member who had power to authorize the donation; and the interval between the communication of death and information about organ donation. CONCLUSIONS: The study presents important gaps that can be filled by health teams and hospitals in order to improve the welcoming and respect for families, as well as the organ donation rates. It is important to understand that each family is unique when facing mourning, and to distance the communication of death from the discussion about organ donation is an act of respect and empathy.

Prevalence of the Most Frequent Neuropsychiatric Diagnoses in Hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 Patients Evaluated by Liaison Psychiatry: Cross-Sectional Study.

INTRODUCTION: The SARS-CoV-2 infection has been associated with the acute onset of mental and behavioural symptoms and psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of the different neuropsychiatric diagnoses in hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection assessed by Liaison Psychiatry. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional study in a hospital near Lisbon, Portugal. We reviewed the electronic health records from all inpatients with a positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test that were assessed by the Liaison Psychiatry Unit (LPU) between February and December 2020. We reviewed relevant sociodemographic and clinical data, including 15 neuropsychiatric symptoms. The prevalence of psychiatric disorders was our main outcome. We also explored differences between two groups: patients with delirium (delirium group) and patients without delirium (no delirium group). RESULTS: We included 46 cases [Age: median = 67 years; interquartile range (IQR) = 24)], with 60.9% male individuals. Delirium was the most frequent diagnosis in our sample (43.5%), followed by major depressive disorder (21.7%). Patients with delirium were more likely to suffer from COVID-19 symptoms (delirium: 19/20, 95%; no delirium: 14/26, 53.8%; p = 0.02), and to have a longer time interval between a positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test and an evaluation by the LPU (delirium: median = 16.5 days, IQR = 16; no delirium: median = 8 days, IQR = 16.3; p = 0.045). Agitation (52.2%) and cognitive symptoms (47.8%) were the most reported neuropsychiatric symptoms. CONCLUSION: We found a high prevalence of delirium in our sample. This finding is in line with recent literature concerning hospitalized COVID-19 patients The higher frequency of COVID-19 symptoms found in the delirium group suggests a possible association between symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and delirium onset.

Introdução: A infecção por SARS-CoV-2 tem sido associada ao desenvolvimento agudo de sintomas mentais e comportamentais e perturbações psiquiátricas. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a prevalência de diferentes diagnósticos neuropsiquiátricos em doentes hospitalizados com infeção SARS-CoV-2 avaliados pela Psiquiatria de Ligação. Material e Métodos: Realizámos um estudo transversal num hospital da região de Lisboa, em Portugal. Revimos os processos clínicos dos pacientes internados com um resultado RT-PCR positivo para SARS-CoV-2 avaliados pela Unidade de Psiquiatria de Ligação (UPL) entre fevereiro e dezembro de 2020. Incluímos dados sociodemográficos e clínicos, incluindo quinze sintomas neuropsiquiátricos. A incidência de diferentes diagnósticos psiquiátricos foi o nosso outcome primário. Explorámos também diferenças entre dois grupos: doentes com delirium e doentes sem delirium. Resultados: Incluímos 46 casos [Idade: mediana = 67 anos; amplitude interquartil (AIQ) = 24)], a maioria do sexo masculino (60,9%). Delirium foi o diagnóstico mais frequente na nossa amostra (43,5%), seguido de perturbação depressiva major (21,7%). Doentes com delirium tiveram uma prevalência maior de sintomas de COVID-19 (delirium: 19/20, 95%; sem delirium: 14/26, 53,8%; p = 0,02), bem como um intervalo de tempo mais longo entre um teste RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 positivo e observação pela UPL (delirium: mediana = 16,5, AIQ = 16; sem delirium: mediana = 8, AIQ = 16,3; p = 0,045). Agitação (52,2%) e sintomas cognitivos (47,8%) foram os sintomas neuropsiquiátricos mais relatados. Conclusão: Foi encontrada na nossa amostra uma elevada prevalência de delirium. Este resultado está de acordo com literatura recente relativamente a doentes internados com COVID-19. A maior frequência de sintomas COVID-19 no grupo com delirium sugere uma possível associação entre infecção sintomática por SARS-CoV-2 e o desenvolvimento desta síndrome.

Complications Following Liver Transplant at a Teaching Hospital.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to analyze the liver transplant complications in a reference transplant hospital in southern Brazil. METHODS: The researchers used a cross-sectional, quantitative, exploratory, and descriptive study, conducted using 103 medical records of patients who underwent liver transplantation from 2011 to 2018. Data were analyzed through median, mean, and standard deviation, and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used. RESULTS: There was a higher proportion of men (70.9%), with a mean age of 53.3 years, who had hepatitis C (43.7%). The indication for the procedure was hepatocellular carcinoma (34%). The most frequent complications included pulmonary (26.7%), graft-related complications such as rejection (21.1%), and viral infections (14.4%). In addition, infectious complications, such as pneumonia (45%) and septicemia (29%), occurred. The main causes of death were septic shock (15.6%) and multiple organ failure (21.9%). There was statistical significance between the recipient's age and the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease value at the time of transplantation for the development of complications. CONCLUSIONS: The data from the present study provide important information about liver transplant. These data may enable the team to propose strategies for practice improvements, which will certainly offer better living conditions and transplant survival.

Health Needs of Patients Undergoing Liver Transplant From the Context of Hospital Discharge.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the health needs of the patient and family facing the perspectives of discharge, health care, and adaptation to the new reality at home. METHODS: This was a quantitative and qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study conducted at a reference hospital for liver transplantation. The participants were patients undergoing liver transplant in this hospital unit from 2011 to June 2019. A semistructured interview script was used for data collection, and data were analyzed according to guidelines proposed for content analysis. RESULTS: Twenty patients participated, with a mean age of 40.2 years; 76% were men. The interview data enabled the development of 3 categories: daily health care, warning signs, and adaptation to the new health care routine. The data obtained from the categories showed that the main health needs include difficulties in blood glucose management, insulin administration, the importance of awareness of the warning signs, and obtaining support from the health care team to deal with food restrictions and high doses of medication. CONCLUSION: The health needs are focused on identifying strategies to develop daily care, in addition to seeking better strategies to adapt to the new reality. The study showed the need for individualized discharge planning by the health care team, based on the health needs of each patient.
