RESUMO

This article is part of a series, Supporting Family Caregivers: No Longer Home Alone, published in collaboration with the AARP Public Policy Institute. Results of focus groups, conducted as part of the AARP Public Policy Institute's No Longer Home Alone video project, supported evidence that family caregivers aren't given the information they need to manage the complex care regimens of family members. This series of articles and accompanying videos aims to help nurses provide caregivers with the tools they need to manage their family member's health care at home. Nurses should read the articles first, so they understand how best to help family caregivers. Then they can refer caregivers to the informational tear sheet-Information for Family Caregivers-and instructional videos, encouraging them to ask questions. For additional information, see Resources for Nurses.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The study objectives were to identify the main predictive factors for long hospital stays and to propose new and improved methods of risk assessment. METHODS: This prospective cohort study was conducted in the clinics and surgical wards of a tertiary hospital and involved 523 elderly patients over 60 years of age. Demographic, clinical, functional, and cognitive characteristics assessed between 48 and 72 h after admission were analyzed to investigate correlations with lengths of stay greater than 10 days. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed, and in the final model, long-term probability scores were estimated for each variable. RESULTS: Of the 523 patients studied, 33 (6.3%) remained hospitalized for more than 10 days. Multiple regression analysis revealed that both the presence of diabetes and the inability to perform chair-to-bed transfers (Barthel Index) remained significant risk predictors. Diabetes doubled the risk of prolonged hospital stays, while a chair-to-bed transfer score of 0 or 5 led to an eight-fold increase in risk. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we propose an easy method that can be used, after external validation, to screen for long-term risk (using diabetes and bed/chair transfer) as a first step in identifying hospitalized elderly patients who will require comprehensive assessment to guide prevention plans and rehabilitation programs.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate a new nurse-guided patient education program in spinal cord injury rehabilitation with particular focus on the patients' perspectives and experiences. DESIGN: Longitudinal qualitative study. METHODS: We conducted face-to-face interviews with 10 rehabilitation patients and used the content analysis method to analyze the data. FINDINGS: Patients emphasized the importance of the practical training of the education program. This impacted their well-being as well as their autonomy. They rated discussions with primary nurses and peers about physical or psychological concerns. However, after discharge, the learning process was ongoing, and patients experienced the transition to living at home as a major challenge. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This research provides valuable information from the patients' perspective for enhancing spinal cord injury patient education. Situational learning, based on the practical parts of patient education and working with peers, is highlighted.

RESUMO

Las úlceras por presión han constituido un problema para la salud en general a través del tiempo. La realidad es que son una preocupación para el cuidado de la salud y todos los profesionales son responsables de su prevención y tratamiento. Se requieren múltiples estrategias de intervención para evitar el daño de la piel; una de ellas, el manejo de las cargas sobre los tejidos blandos. La correcta elección de las superficies de apoyo, la adecuada redistribución de la presión especialmente en las prominencias óseas y un progresivo programa de movilización constituyen las bases para evitar la producción de las úlceras por presión. (AU)


Pressure ulcers (PU) have been as a health problem throughout time. The reality is that PU are a global health care concern and all the professionals need to be responsible for the prevention and treatment of them. Multiple intervention strategies are needed to avoid the skin breakdown. Managing loads on the skin and associated soft tissue is one of these strategies. Properly chosen support surfaces, adequate periodic pressure redistribution, protection of specially vulnerable bony prominences and a progressive program of joint mobilization are the basis to avoid PU production.
