Domestic burns that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil: a descriptive cross-sectional study

Abstract BACKGROUND: Due to "stay at home" restrictions during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, people spent more time at home leading to an increase in home accidents, including burns. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the epidemiology of burns that occurred within homes during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. DESIGN AND SETTINGS: This was a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study with a non-probabilistic sample. METHODS: Data were collected through the distribution of survey links on social networking sites and websites, and through email between December 2020 and February 2021. Participants were over 18 years of age, living in Brazil. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and dispersion statistics. RESULTS: A total of 939 adults (aged > 18 years) participated in this study. The mean age was 37.2 years (standard deviation [SD] = 12.5), 75.6% were female, 70.0% self-reported white skin color, 74% had completed higher education, and 28.1% had an income of 3 to 6 times the monthly minimum wage. A total of 21.6% suffered burns during the pandemic, 44.3% from a hot object. Approximately 49.3% never had access to a burn prevention campaign. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to develop burn prevention strategies that reach a wider population and to strengthen public policies to reduce the prevalence of domestic burns, especially during the pandemic.

Violence by Burning Against Women and Girls: An Integrative Review.

Violence against women and girls by burning is a serious and confronting form of gender-based violence. Often, perpetrators aim to disfigure their victims or cause great pain, rather than kill them. Little is known about the characteristics of females who are subjected to violence by burning. This study aimed to review the literature concerning the prevalence, demographic profile, injury event, contributing factors and health outcomes for women and girls who have experienced burn-related violence. A search across five databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus and LILACS) was conducted up to April 2021 to identify original peer-review research, with a focus on violence by burning against women and girls. The review was guided by the five-stage approach to integrative reviews developed by Whittemore and Knafl (2005). Fifteen studies were identified. Victims were predominantly married, with low socio-economic status, limited education, and high emotional and financial dependency on their partners or families. Burn injuries were mostly caused by flame or acid, with significant morbidity or high mortality. Motives included family/marital issues or property/financial disputes. This review identified the limited evidence available in the peer-reviewed literature related to burn-related violence against women and girls worldwide. Findings suggest the need for further research to provide a clearer understanding of the complex issues involved.

Virtual Reality Therapy to Control Burn Pain: Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Virtual reality therapy has been shown to be an excellent alternative to non-pharmacological treatment for the control of burn pain. The objective was to evaluate the effects of virtual reality therapy on pain control in people who have suffered burns published in the scientific literature. Systematic review carried out as recommended by Cochrane. The search was carried out in the Embase, PubMed, Lilacs, and Cochrane Library databases, in the period from March 2021. Randomized clinical trials were included without language restriction and year of publication. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane tool. Of the 3755 articles found, only 17 articles were selected for reading in full. Of these, only four articles met the inclusion criteria. The results of the studies showed that the use of virtual reality therapy reduced the intensity of pain in children and adolescents with burns, despite the fact that most results are not statistically significant. No selected study had a high risk of bias. Virtual reality therapy has been shown to be effective in controlling pain, reducing the time spent thinking about it and greater distraction during the procedures. However, most randomized clinical trials results were not statistically significant in at least one of the moments when pain was assessed. It is noteworthy that randomized clinical trials are still necessary to administer virtual reality therapy, especially in adults.

ABSTRACT Objective To classify the level of complexity of care required from Nursing by hospitalized oncology patients. Methods This is an observational, sectional, quantitative study, carried out daily with oncology patients in the Clinical and Surgical Oncology inpatient units of a cancer treatment reference hospital during a three-month period. The collection was carried out through the application of a semi-structured questionnaire and an instrument of patient classification by Fugulin et al. (2007). Results 242 patients were interviewed and 1309 evaluations were performed, with a greater number of males and those with incomplete elementary school education. There was a higher occurrence of cancer in the gastrointestinal system and female reproductive system, respectively, in the admission of Clinical and Surgical Oncology, with higher occupancy rate in the months of June and May, in that order. The behavior observed was quite similar in both admissions, corresponding, respectively, to patients who fell into minimal (33.1%; 35.1%) and intermediate care (30.2%; 37.5%). Conclusion and implications for practice The patient classification and dimensioning system in Nursing in oncology deserves further discussion and lacks validated instruments capable of representing the real situation of care.

Parents' Participation in Managing Their Children's Postoperative Pain at Home: An Integrative Literature Review.

OBJECTIVES: This integrative review aimed to synthesize and critically evaluate the methodological quality of the evidence on parent's participation in managing their children's postoperative pain at home. DESIGN: Integrative review. DATA SOURCES: To locate relevant articles, two reviewers independently searched four electronic databases systematically using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. REVIEW/ANALYSIS METHODS: The methodological quality of 23 eligible studies was critically appraised using published evaluation criteria. A qualitative content analysis was then conducted to synthesize findings of the studies to identify thematic trends and factors on the nature of parents' participation and ability to effectively manage their children's pain at home. RESULTS: Methodological quality of most of the 15 surveys was adequate, whereas shortcomings were identified in 6 of the 7 clinical trials and the 1 qualitative study that were included in this review. The three themes identified pertained to parent use of informational sources, postoperative pain medications, and nonpharmacologic pain treatment approaches. Results indicate parents lack the information they need to effectively make use of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic pain treatment approaches. CONCLUSIONS: There is need to improve communication between parents and health professionals before and after the child's surgery and to provide parents with specific verbal and written instructions and strategies on how to assess and manage their children's pain.

School reintegration of pediatric burn survivors: An integrative literature review.

BACKGROUND: The school is an essential context for children's social interaction with peers and to develop academic skills. Therefore, a fast reintegration can help children with burns to normalize their life. Thus, school reintegration is an important outcome after burns. The aim of this review was to systematically synthesize the literature addressing school reintegration programs of pediatric burns survivors. METHODS: Five electronic databases were searched independently by two reviewers. The search yielded 13 eligible publications. A qualitative content analysis was conducted. RESULTS: The two themes identified centered around (1) the roles, obstacles, and support for the different stakeholders (i.e., the child, parents and teacher) and (2) the contents of the school reintegration programs in which subthemes such as purpose, planning, essential elements, team, and effect were distinguished. The results show that return to school should start as soon as the child is admitted to the hospital and the program should acknowledge the different stakeholders' needs and tailor the program to these needs. CONCLUSION: The review emphasizes the necessity of an integrated school reintegration program empowering both the child, the parents and the teachers and tailored to the child's specific situation. Furthermore, it offers recommendations for further improvement of the field.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Describe the knowledge of health professionals in relation to initial in-hospital care for burn victims. METHOD Descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, conducted in three units that provide urgent and emergency care, in a city in the state of Minas Gerais. The data collection and analysis occurred simultaneously from September to October 2017. The audio-recorded, semi-structured interviews were transcribed in whole and underwent a deductive content analysis. RESULTS Thirty-one health professionals, including physicians, physical therapists and nursing professionals, participated in the study. Three categories were created: "Experience with burns", "Knowledge of care protocols", and "Transformation of knowledge". FINAL CONSIDERATIONS Even though the professionals had professional, personal or academic knowledge or experience in caring for burn victims, most of them had basic, inadequate or no knowledge in this area. It is hoped that the findings of this study will help lay the foundation for capacity-building initiatives for these professionals.

Childhood cancer: Impact on parents' marital dynamics.

PURPOSE: To explore and analyze how marital relationships are affected by the crisis generated by the diagnosis and intensive regimens required in the treatment of children with cancer. METHOD: A descriptive study with a qualitative data analysis was conducted. In-depth individual interviews were carried out with 18 married biological parents of children with cancer. Data was analyzed using an inductive content analysis. RESULTS: The following themes represented the couples' experiences: (1) Abrupt changes after the child's diagnosis resulting in marital strain and need to focus on the present; (2) United but distant; (3) Exchanging roles; (4) Being parents all the time; (5) Focusing on the positive side of the experience; (6) Rescuing the marital relationship. The marital relationship of parents with a child/adolescent who has cancer may undergo either positive or negative changes, with intimacy and sexuality being negatively affected by the disease. Although the relationship may be more fragile after the illness, increased mutual commitment was observed in some couples. CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that health professionals should include parents as an important focus of their care. The establishment of solid bonds to enhance couples' communication is recommended as a way to provide anticipatory guidance to address the identified changes in marital relationships. The opportunities for dialog and partnership help couples to target their needs and recognize their strengths in order to mitigate the impact of a child's illness.

Atenção às necessidades espirituais na prática clínica de enfermeiros / Attention to Spiritual Needs in Clinical Nursing Practice / Atención a las necesidades espirituales en la práctica clínica de enfermeros

Ao considerar a integralidade do cuidado, é necessário que os enfermeiros sistematizem o cuidado espiritual e proponham intervenções nessa dimensão aos seus pacientes. Objetivo: analisar a compreensão do enfermeiro acerca do cuidado espiritual e a sua experiência na promoção desse cuidado aos pacientes na prática clínica. Método: pesquisa descritiva, com análise qualitativa dos dados, desenvolvida com 17 enfermeiros. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, as quais foram analisadas mediante análise de conteúdo qualitativa. Resultados: os enfermeiros identificaram a necessidade de intervenção na dimensão espiritual dos seus pacientes e consideraram importante atender a essa necessidade, porém eles apresentaram dificuldades em oferecer esse cuidado. Falta de conhecimento e organização do processo de trabalho foram dificuldades citadas para a não realização do cuidado espiritual e para a priorização dos cuidados físicos. Aponta-se, ainda, que o cuidado espiritual, quando oferecido, não foi sistematizado. Conclusão: esta pesquisa apresenta potencial para suscitar discussões quanto à formação do enfermeiro para o oferecimento do cuidado espiritual, além de demonstrar suas dificuldades e facilidades para a prestação de tal cuidado no cotidiano do trabalho da enfermagem.

When looking at comprehensive care, nurses need to systematize spiritual care and propose these kinds of interventions for their patients. Objective: Analyze nurses' understanding of spiritual care and their experience in encouraging this type of attention for patients in clinical practice. Method: This is a descriptive study featuring a qualitative analysis of data. The sample included 17 nurses. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and examined via qualitative content analysis. Results: The nurses who participated in the study indicated there is a need for intervention to attend to the spiritual needs of patients and felt it is important to address this dimension of health care. However, they have difficulty in providing spiritual care. Lack of know-how and the way their work is organized were cited as obstacles to providing spiritual care, as was the priority on physical care. The nurses in the sample also noted that spiritual care, when offered, is not systematized. Conclusion: The research in question has the potential to encourage discussion on how nurses can be trained to offer spiritual care. It also demonstrates the difficulties they encounter and the kind of facilities or conditions they require to provide spiritual care in everyday nursing practice.

Necessidades dos pais de crianças hospitalizadas: evidências para o cuidado / The needs of parents of hospitalized children: evidence for care

A hospitalização traz benefícios para o tratamento da criança doente, mas também implica em impactos. Embora essencial e benéfica à criança, a presença dos pais na enfermaria desestabiliza suas rotinas e desencadeia necessidades. O objetivo deste estudo foi buscar evidências na literatura, para identificar, reunir e sintetizar o conhecimento produzido acerca das necessidades dos pais de crianças hospitalizadas, por meio de revisão integrativa da literatura. A busca das referências foi realizada nas bases PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science e LILACS, entre 2002 a 2014, identificando 17 artigos que se adequaram aos critérios estabelecidos. As necessidades encontradas foram agrupadas em três categorias: necessidades dos próprios pais, necessidades relacionadas às ações da equipe de saúde e necessidades ligadas à estrutura e recursos organizacionais. Estas necessidades estão intimamente interligadas, de modo que o acesso, avaliação e sua satisfação devam ser realizados em conjunto, qualificando a assistência à criança e sua família.

Hospitalization has its benefits when treating sick children, but it can also cause negative impacts. Although it is essential and beneficial to the child, parental presence in the hospital ward destabilizes the family routine and generates new needs. The objective of this study was to search for evidence in the literature and identify, gather, and synthetize the knowledge that has been produced about the needs of parents of hospitalized children via an integrative literature review. The article search was conducted in the PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, and LILACS databases between 2002 and 2014 and resulted in 17 articles that met the established criteria. The parental needs found in these studies were grouped into three categories: the needs related to parents themselves, needs related to the health team's actions, and those related to organizational structure and resources. These needs were intimately interconnected, which means that accessing, assessing, and satisfying them must occur simultaneously, thus providing quality care to children and their families.

Health-Related Quality of Life in adolescent survivors of burns: Agreement on self-reported and mothers' and fathers' perspectives.

AIM: This study examined the agreement on self-reported Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) between adolescents with burns and their mother's and father's observation at 6 and 18 months after the burn. Moreover, factors potentially influencing discrepancies between the adolescent and proxy reports were examined. METHODS: Children with burns (11-18 years old) and their mother and father were invited to participate. A total of 54 adolescents aged 11 years or older filled out the American Burn Association/Shriners Hospitals for Children Burn Outcomes Questionnaire (BOQ). Descriptive and correlational analyses were performed. RESULTS: The physical functioning scores showed to be optimal in almost all participants (99%) and across the three informants. Adolescents reported better functioning than their fathers and mothers on most of the scales. On average the correlations between self-reports and proxy reports were moderate to good. Higher parental traumatic stress scores were linked to less favorable parent-reported burn outcomes. CONCLUSION: Overall, this study showed that a large proportion of the parents had similar views on the adolescents physical functioning, but disparities emerged also, mainly in psychosocial scales. The discrepancies between self- and parent reports should be discussed when they have a role in treatment decisions. Preferably, besides parent-reports, adolescents' self-reports should be included in clinical assessments and treatment decisions, as parental traumatic stress symptoms are a possible factor influencing parental observations.

Sexuality in burn victims: an integrative literature review.

AIMS: To analyze and synthesize knowledge concerning sexuality in adult burn victims through an integrative literature review. METHOD: Two researchers independently searched six electronic databases (PUBMED, LILACS, ISI Web of Science, PSYCINFO, CINAHL and EMBASE) and also performed a hand search using the following descriptors, in different combinations: burn, sexuality, gender identity, sexual behavior and sexual factors, in order to identify the articles published in English, Portuguese or Spanish, in the last 20 years. A total of 1781 articles were found and 22 were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS: The findings were organized into two categories that influence sexuality: (1) studies where the main purpose was to assess sexuality in burn victims; (2) studies that indirectly assess sexuality. CONCLUSION: The synthesis of the knowledge concerning sexuality in burn victims showed that sexual dysfunction can be related to the younger ages, TBSA > 20%, burns on the genitalia and on exposed areas, prolonged length of hospital stay, avoidance coping, and mental disorders. The multidisciplinary team should be prepared to integrate sexuality as an important variable in the continuing treatment of burn patients.
