RESUMO
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the intensity and frequency of pain, use of analgesic drugs, and the incidence of paraesthesia, urinary retention and vascular complications upon decreasing affected limb immobilisation from 4-2 hrs after sheath removal in patients submitted to transfemoral percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND: After sheath removal from the femoral artery following urgent or emergency PCI, patients are maintained with limb immobilisation for a mean period of 4 hr. DESIGN: Randomised clinical trial (RCT) based on the CONSORT guidelines. METHOD: Randomised clinical trial was performed in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome submitted to transfemoral PCI. The intervention group was submitted to a supine position with the head of the bed elevated (30-degree angle) with affected limb immobilisation for 2 hr after sheath removal and the control group for 4 hrs. The outcomes were pain complaints, need for analgesic drugs, incidence of paraesthesia, urinary retention and vascular complications. The outcomes were assessed immediately, 6, 12 and 24 hr after release from limb immobilisation before the patients were released from bed rest. RESULTS: A total of 150 patients (75 in each group) participated in the study. No significant differences in outcomes were observed between the groups, except in relation to the haematoma formation that was higher in the intervention group. CONCLUSION: A reduced length of limb immobilisation after sheath removal following PCI does not change the frequency and intensity of pain, need of analgesic drugs, urinary retention and paraesthesia. The incidence of haematoma was higher in the intervention group, without significant clinical manifestations. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The results of this study can be considered for patients submitted to elective, urgent or emergency PCI, who have a lower risk of complications, thereby allowing for decreased periods of limb immobilisation.

OBJECTIVE: Identifying the level of anxiety, stress and depression symptoms in family members of patients with heart failure; identifying the relationship between these feelings with sociodemographic and clinical variables. METHOD: A cross-sectional study carried out with 100 family members. Depression, anxiety, and stress were evaluated by the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories and the Perceived Stress Scale - 10. The relationship between feelings and variables was performed through the t-test, Mann-Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis. RESULTS: Mean depression was 8.24, anxiety was 77.95, and stress was 17.43. The correlation coefficient between depression and anxiety and depression and stress was 0.53, and it was 0.66 between anxiety and stress. Females (p=0.002, p=0.031), smoking (p=0.05, p=0.011) and sedentary lifestyle (p=0.023, p=0.001) were related to anxiety and stress, respectively. Family income lower than five minimum wages (p=0.012) was related to depression, and regular/poor self-perceived health status related to the three feelings. CONCLUSION: Family members did not present high levels of these feelings. The scales were directly correlated with each one another and some variables were related to stress, anxiety and depression. OBJETIVO: Identificar o nível de ansiedade, estresse e sintomas de depressão de familiares de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca; identificar a relação entre esses sentimentos com as variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas. MÉTODO: Estudo transversal composto por 100 familiares. A depressão, a ansiedade e o estresse foram avaliados pelos Inventários de Depressão e Ansiedade de Beck e pela Escala de Estresse Percebido â 10. A relação dos sentimentos com as variáveis foi realizada pelo teste t, Mann-Whitney ou Kruskal-Wallis. RESULTADOS: A média de depressão foi de 8,24, ansiedade, 7,95 e estresse, 17,43. O coeficiente de correlação entre depressão e ansiedade e depressão e estresse foi de 0,53 e de 0,66 entre ansiedade e estresse. Sexo feminino (p=0,002; p=0,031), tabagismo (p=0,05; p=0,011) e sedentarismo (p=0,023; p=0,001) se relacionaram com a ansiedade e estresse respectivamente. Renda familiar menor que cinco salários mínimos (p=0,012) se relacionou com a depressão, e autoavaliação de saúde regular/ruim se relacionou com os três sentimentos. CONCLUSÃO: Os familiares não apresentaram níveis elevados desses sentimentos. As escalas foram diretamente correlacionadas entre si e algumas variáveis se relacionaram com estresse, ansiedade e depressão.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To integrate literature data on the predictors of excessive bleeding after cardiac surgery in adults. BACKGROUND: Perioperative nursing care requires awareness of the risk factors for excessive bleeding after cardiac surgery to assure vigilance prioritising and early correction of those that are modifiable. DESIGN: Integrative literature review. METHODS: Articles were searched in seven databases. Seventeen studies investigating predictive factors for excessive bleeding after open-heart surgery from 2004-2014 were included. RESULTS: Predictors of excessive bleeding after cardiac surgery were: Patient-related: male gender, higher preoperative haemoglobin levels, lower body mass index, diabetes mellitus, impaired left ventricular function, lower amount of prebypass thrombin generation, lower preoperative platelet counts, decreased preoperative platelet aggregation, preoperative platelet inhibition level >20%, preoperative thrombocytopenia and lower preoperative fibrinogen concentration. Procedure-related: the operating surgeon, coronary artery bypass surgery with three or more bypasses, use of the internal mammary artery, duration of surgery, increased cross-clamp time, increased cardiopulmonary bypass time, lower intraoperative core body temperature and bypass-induced haemostatic disorders. Postoperative: fibrinogen levels and metabolic acidosis. CONCLUSIONS: Patient-related, procedure-related and postoperative predictors of excessive bleeding after cardiac surgery were identified. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The predictors summarised in this review can be used for risk stratification of excessive bleeding after cardiac surgery. Assessment, documentation and case reporting can be guided by awareness of these factors, so that postoperative vigilance can be prioritised. Timely identification and correction of the modifiable factors can be facilitated.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the evidence of validity of the internal structure and reliability of the Brazilian version of the Smoking Cessation Counseling instrument. METHOD: psychometric study of confirmatory factor analysis and reliability carried out on 250 nurses in clinical practice. For the analysis of the convergent validity of the factor model, Average Variance Extracted values were calculated, and discriminant analysis was carried out using the Fornell-Larcker criterion. Reliability was examined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability. RESULTS: it was necessary to exclude seven items from the Advanced Counseling domain and one item from the Basic Counseling domain in order to properly obtain the Average Variance Extracted values and the Fornell-Larcker criterion. The composite reliability ranged from 0.76 to 0.86 and the overall Cronbach`s alpha coefficient was 0.86, ranging from 0.53 to 0.84 depending on the domain assessed. The final version of the instrument was made up of 16 items divided into 4 domains. CONCLUSION: the Brazilian version of Smoking Cessation Counseling obtained adequate psychometric evidence of validity and reliability. Further studies are needed to refine the instrument. BACKGROUND: (1) Instrument shows adequate internal consistency and validity. BACKGROUND: (2) Evaluate counseling practices and their impact on patient care. BACKGROUND: (3) Instrument for evaluating smoking cessation counseling. BACKGROUND: (4) Provides important information for planning nursing care.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the evidence of content validity of the Nursing Outcomes "Mechanical Ventilation Response: Adult" and "Mechanical Ventilation Weaning Response: Adult", for patients with severe COVID-19. METHOD: Methodological study developed in two stages: literature review to construct the definitions of the indicators and analysis of the evidence of content validity of the nursing outcomes by a focus group. RESULTS: All the conceptual and operational definitions developed for the 56 indicators were considered clear and precise. However, 17 indicators were excluded because they were deemed not to be relevant. The definitions of the magnitudes for 17 indicators of the Nursing Outcome "Mechanical Ventilation Response: Adult" and 22 indicators "Mechanical Ventilation Weaning Response: Adult" were thus constructed. CONCLUSION: The development of definitions and validation by experts makes the use of these outcomes and their indicators more understandable and precise, favoring their use in clinical practice and providing greater detail in assessment and recording.

This situation-specific theory was developed by linking concepts from Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory and standardized nursing languages with the purpose of explaining and describing the health management of outpatients with heart failure. This theory suggests that the health management of these patients is influenced by basic conditioning factors, which may affect individuals' health management capability and may interfere with the ability to present health management behaviors. Knowing the ability of these patients to manage their health will allow nurses to plan their interventions, which will reflect directly on a patient's quality of life, and reduce the chances of hospitalization and health costs.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the need of family members of patients hospitalized in a coronary intensive care unit and their degree of satisfaction with the care provided. METHODS: An observational and cross-sectional study including family members of patients hospitalized in the coronary intensive care unit for acute coronary syndrome in Killip I or II. After the second visit of the same family member to the patient in the unit, a 43-item inventory of needs and stressors of family members was applied. Family members assessed each need for its importance and satisfaction using a four-point Likert scale. The scores in each dimension of importance and satisfaction were compared using the Wilcoxon test, considering a value of p<0.05 as significant. RESULTS: One hundred family members were interviewed. The most important needs were related to assurance and information. Family members had satisfaction scores corresponding to be very satisfied or totally satisfied, but with lower scores when compared to the needs scores (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: The most important needs of family members of patients hospitalized in the coronary intensive care unit were related to assurance and information. Multiprofessional interventions involving better communication of patient information to family members should be incorporated into the coronary intensive care unit.

OBJECTIVES: to analyze the concept of cardiovascular risk to support nursing practice. METHODS: this is an analysis to define the concept of cardiovascular risk, through the use of eight steps of Walker's and Avant's framework, using a literature review in indexed scientific journals. RESULTS: cardiovascular risk is defined in a broad and original way as a context of health and nursing care that makes it possible to identify modifiable (cardiometabolic, behavioral, psychosocial, cultural and occupational) and non-modifiable (biological) risk factors for cardiovascular diseases that act as early and interrelated markers, of multiple and heterogeneous etiology, predisposing to cardiovascular vulnerability. CONCLUSIONS: with the analysis and definition of the concept of cardiovascular risk, we realized that it will be possible to base nursing practice, with implications in clinical practice for identifying and reducing risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, with nursing relevance in the care of these subjects.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the effect of the Self-Instructional Guide for Clinical Reasoning on the diagnostic accuracy of undergraduate Nursing students. METHOD: a randomized, parallel and double-blind (researchers and outcome evaluators) clinical trial, carried out with undergraduate Nursing students. Validated case studies were applied in two phases to identify the patient's Nursing diagnosis/problem, etiology and clues, using the Guide with the intervention group in the second phase. The outcomes - diagnostic and etiological accuracy and number of clues - were evaluated using validated rubrics. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze demographic data; Fisher's exact test for similarities in prior education and confidence; Mann-Whitney's test for age; and non-parametric ANOVA test in the evaluation of the hypothesis of differences in performance. RESULTS: final sample composed of 24 students in the control group and 27 in the intervention group; no difference as to gender, age and schooling. There was a difference in diagnostic (p=0.041) and etiological (p=0.0351) accuracy in the intervention group, showing a negative effect of using the Guide. CONCLUSION: the one-time self-instruction was not effective in impacting the diagnostic accuracy of students solving case studies. Repeated application of the Guide as a teaching tool can be effective in improving such outcome. REBEC: RBR-4bhr78.

OBJECTIVE: develop and validate a video on bed bathing directed to nursing professionals and students. METHOD: the video was based on the literature and presents the definition of bed bath, indications for its performance, steps to perform it, and potential complications. Nursing professors and nurses validated it. They assessed the pertinence of content, clarity, and language of the video scenes. The Delphi Technique was used in this phase. After recording, three nursing professors, along with undergraduate nursing students from a public university, assessed the educational video. The professors first watched the video and suggested changes, and then the students watched the video after the changes were implemented. RESULTS: six rounds were needed for experts to validate the video script using the Delphi Technique. After the video recording, undergraduate students considered the video of easy understanding. CONCLUSION: the video script was composed of four topics and was validated by experts after six rounds. The video was assessed by the professors and nursing undergraduate students, who considered the topics and the video as a whole as apprehensible. This study is expected to contribute to professional training and improvement of the knowledge and skills of nursing students.
