The influence of informal caregivers on the rehabilitation of the elderly in the postoperative period of proximal femoral fracture. / Influência do cuidador informal na reabilitação do idoso em pós-operatório de fratura de fêmur proximal.

Objective To analyze the influence of informal caregivers on the functional independence of older adults in the postoperative period of proximal femoral fracture due to falls. Method It is an integrative review of a corpus for analysis that gathered 23 articles, between 2002 and 2012, from databases "Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde" (Latin-American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature in Health Sciences), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, US National Library of Medicine and Scopus. Results There was a predominance of studies by Chinese authors and nurses. The analysis of the studies evidenced that falls followed by fractures lead to dependence of older adults and, consequently, an overload to caregivers. Moreover, older adults and caregivers showed a need for support in the rehabilitation process. Conclusions Informal caregivers still need to be included in care planning and to be qualified for such care by health professionals, since they positively influence functional independence in the postoperative period.

[Telephone confirmation of a patient's intent to be present for elective surgery as a strategy to reduce absenteeism]. / Confirmação de presença de usuário à cirurgia eletiva por telefone como estratégia para reduzir absenteísmo.

The objective of this quasi-experimental study was to evaluate the impact of telephone confirmation of attendance on the reduction of absenteeism of patients scheduled for elective surgery. The study was conducted at the Surgical Department of the Botucatu School of Medicine for 30 days and included 89 patients. Results showed the effectiveness of the intervention, which reduced absenteeism by 30.0%. Telephone confirmation two days prior to surgery is recommended, thus allowing enough time to place new calls to find patients at home, or schedule another patient in the event the patient cannot be reached. The creation of a service center could provide a communication channel between the institution and patients, and would enable the confirmation of patients' attendance, provide them with the opportunity to ask questions concerning the procedure and provide information regarding impediments to the surgery or preparations needed. The center would require a professional skilled and knowledgeable regarding the service, as it involves providing patients with information about their upcoming surgery during the telephone contact.

[Women's strategies for coping with urinary incontinence]. / Estratégias de enfrentamento da incontinência urinária por mulheres.

This article is part of a more comprehensive qualitative study which used grounded theory and symbolic interactionism as theoretical and methodological frameworks, resulting in the theoretical model entitled, Between suffering and hope: rehabilitation of urinary incontinence as an intervenient component. In order to communicate all the knowledge produced, part of this model is presented, and it refers to the process of coping with urinary incontinence by women without perspectives of access to surgical treatment after failure of conservative procedures. When interrelating the components (categories and subcategories) of these women's experience in order to compare and analyze them to understand their interaction, moral and psychosocial vulnerability were noticed within the experience of the group, which makes them susceptible to health risks and to compromise of their quality of life, observed in the movement of the group's experience. Research is needed to further understand experiences in which there are barriers to surgical treatment due to physicians' disbelief in its effectiveness.

Instruments to measure interaction of mothers and newborns: A systematic review.

Interactions between newborns and their parents/primary caregivers are characterized by asymmetric and dependent relationships. This systematic review mapped, identified, and described the psychometric parameters, categories, and items of instruments used to assess mother-newborn interaction. Seven electronic databases were accessed in this study. Furthermore, this research included neonatal interaction studies describing instruments' items, domains, and psychometric properties while excluding studies that focused on maternal interactions and lacked items for assessing newborns. Additionally, studies validated with older infants that did not have a newborn in the sample were used for test validation, which is a criterion used to decrease the risk of bias. Fourteen observational instruments from 1047 identified citations were included that addressed interactions using varying techniques, constructs, and settings. Particularly, we focused on observational settings that assessed interactions with communication-based constructs in the context of proximity or distance as influenced by physical, behavioral, or procedural barriers. These tools are also used to predict risk behaviors in a psychological context, mitigate feeding difficulties, and conduct neurobehavioral assessments of mother-newborn interactions. The elicited imitation was also an observational setting. This study found that the most described properties in the included citations were inter-rater reliability followed by criterion validity. However, only two instruments reported content, construct, and criterion validity, as well as a description of an internal consistency assessment and inter-rater reliability. Finally, the synthesis of the instruments reported in this study can guide clinicians and researchers in selecting the most appropriate one for their own application.

Nursing protocols to reduce urinary tract infection caused by indwelling catheters: an integrative review.

OBJECTIVES: to analyze the production of knowledge in research articles about the effectiveness of nursing protocols for reducing indwelling urinary catheter dwell time and catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate in hospitalized adult and older patients. METHODS: an integrative review of three full articles, available in the MEDLINE Complete - EBSCO, Scopus and Web of Science databases, from 01/01/2015 to 04/26/2021. RESULTS: the three protocols reduced infection rates, and from the review/synthesis of their knowledge, a level IV body of evidence emerged to compose the nursing care process aimed at reducing indwelling urinary catheter dwell time and catheter-associated urinary tract infection. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: this process gathers scientific evidence to support the elaboration of nursing protocols and, consequently, the conduction of clinical trials on its effectiveness in reducing urinary tract infection by indwelling urinary catheter.

Decontamination of stainless-steel bowls with 80% (w/v) alcohol for 30 s and 60 s: randomized experimental study.

OBJECTIVE: to compare the efficacy of 80% (w/v) alcohol, rubbed for 30 and 60 seconds, in the manual processing of stainless-steel wash bowls, after cleaning with running water and neutral detergent. METHOD: experimental study conducted in a hospital in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, on 50 bowls randomly divided into two groups of 25 bowls each for interventions of 30 and 60 seconds of rubbing with 80% (w/v) alcohol. RESULTS: based on the microbiological analyses collected, before and after the interventions for both groups, partial efficacy of the disinfectant was observed even when extending rubbing time. In both groups, there was a higher prevalence of survival of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with 14 strains that were resistant to carbapenems, being, specifically, 11 to imipenem and three to meropenem. CONCLUSION: stainless-steel bed wash bowls decontaminated for reuse by 80% (w/v) alcohol, after cleaning with running water and neutral detergent, showed to be reservoirs of hospital pathogens. The use of bed wash bowls for patients with intact skin would not have worrying consequences, but considering those with non-intact skin and the contamination of professionals' hands, the results in this study justify the search for other decontamination methods or the adoption of disposable bed baths.

Self-managing osteoporosis treatment for well-being recovery mediated by the (in)visibility of the disease signs.

The present study aimed to understand patients experience with osteoporosis treatment. The methodological and theoretical frameworks were, respectively, the Grounded Theory and Symbolic Interactionism. The research subjects were 12 patients monitored in a specialized outpatient unit. The obtained statements were transcribed and analyzed, leading to a synthesis of the described themes. From the analysis process, two phenomena emerged: self-evaluating health conditions according to the disease signs and making a decision about the treatment targeting at well-being. The realignment and the inter-relationship of the components belonging to these phenomena (themes, categories, and subcategories) allowed to identify the core category: self-managing osteoporosis treatment for well-being recovery mediated by the (in)visibility of the disease signs. Furthermore, it allowed for the design of a theoretical model concerning the process used by the player in his cyclic movement of the experience, between adherence to and relaxation from the osteoporosis treatment.

Measuring suicide risk in the elderly with non-institutionalized depression: an integrative review.

OBJECTIVE: Analyze the state of the art about instruments, at national and international levels, for assessing the risk of suicide in elderly people with depression assisted in the community. METHODS: Integrative review of 38 complete articles, published in journals indexed in the databases: US National Library of Medicine (PubMed Central), Scopus, CINAHL and Web of Science, located using controlled descriptors combined with Boolean operators: elderly OR aged OR older OR elder OR geriatric AND depression AND suicide AND risk assessment. RESULTS: Six instruments were found, all international and published in the English language, in order to identify suicidal behavior and ideation in the elderly. Of these, two are specific scales for assessing the risk of suicide in the elderly in the community: 5-item GDS subscale and Geriatric Suicide Ideation Scale. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: With the scarcity of national instruments to assess such risk, research is recommended to cross-culturally adapt one of these scales to the Brazilian Portuguese language.

Experience of nurse entrepreneurs in long term institutions for elderly people.

OBJECTIVE: To understand the nurse entrepreneur experience in long term institutions for elderly (LTIE) and to elaborate a theorical model regarding that experience process. METHODS: Qualitative research with theorical saturation, through analysis of the 10th nondirective interview, audio-recorded and transcribed, according to the Grounded Theory, with nurses in activity and those who had to quit the business. RESULTS: Three subprocesses emerged: (A) looking at the LTIE as a promising business to offer to the aging population; (B) discovering herself/himself without entrepreneur training/experience to carry on a social enterprise; (C) changing from preservation, expansion, and finally business discontinuance. The core category (process) was abstracted from the realignment of those subprocesses components: From the dream to expansion, preservation, and business abandonment: nurse training/experience for social enterprise as an intervening component. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: In light of the Business Model Canvas, it showed the experiential process little instrumented by the fundamentals of business management, to support the proposal, overview and altering business.

Incontinence-associated dermatitis in elderly patients: prevalence and risk factors.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and risk factors for incontinence-associated dermatitis in the elderly. METHOD: Cross-sectional exploratory study carried out in public hospitals. The dermatitis prevalence and associations were obtained by calculating the ratio. The effect dimension was estimated by the odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval and statistical significance p <0.05. RESULTS: 138 elderly people were included, with an average age of 77.2 years old (± 9.3); 69 (50%) had combined fecal and urinary incontinence. The dermatitis prevalence was 36.2% (50); 28% (14) had pressure injuries; 14% (7), candidiasis. Risk factors were: longer hospital stay (Odds Ratio = 5.8 [2.6-12.9]), obesity (Odds Ratio = 3.6 [1.2-10.4]), high level of dependence (Odds Ratio = 2.4 [1,1-5,0]) and high risk for pressure injury (Odds Ratio = 6.1 [1,4-26,9]). CONCLUSION: The study found a high prevalence of dermatitis associated with incontinence. The early recognition of risk factors favors effective preventive actions.

Adaptation and validation of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Leader Empowering Behavior scale.

OBJECTIVES: to adapt and validate the Leader Empowering Behavior scale for Brazilian Portuguese in a sample of Brazilian nurses. METHODS: cross-sectional study through translation, back-translation, expert evaluation, application and analysis of content, criteria and construct of the scale. RESULTS: the title of the final version was Comportamento Empoderador do Líder. The equivalence evaluation presented Content Validity Index of 89% among the 27 items of the original scale and was applied to 272 nurses. For the construct validation, psychometric analyzes were performed; through calculations of the measure of sampling adequacy, were excluded six items from the translated instrument; and in the factor analysis, four factors were retained. The Cronbach's alpha was calculated for the four domains and ranged from 0.82 to 0.87, demonstrating the scale reliability. CONCLUSIONS: the adapted version presented validity and reliability criteria for use in Brazil. Its use will make it possible to know the behavior of leaders to empower their team.

Perfil de óbitos por dengue (2015-2023) em cidade paulista: desafios para a saúde pública / Dengue death profile (2015-2023) in a são paulo municipality: challenges for public health / Perfil de muertes por dengue (2015-2023) en una ciudad del interior del estado de são paulo: desafíos para la salud pública

O número de casos de dengue no continente americano, no primeiro semestre de 2023, superou o total de casos de 2022 e o Brasil lidera com 2,3 milhões de ocorrências da doença e 769 mortes. A dengue se expande no mundo e já é considerada endêmica em mais de 100 países. Este estudo objetiva caracterizar o perfil dos óbitos por dengue, no período de 2015 a 2023, em uma cidade do interior do estado de São Paulo. Este é um estudo transversal, retrospectivo e descritivo, com análise de dados secundários do Sistema Nacional de Notificação (Sinan), Sistema de Mortalidade (SIM) e banco de dados dos óbitos por dengue, do comitê de mortalidade da vigilância epidemiológica municipal. A capacidade das equipes de saúde em identificar os sinais e sintomas ocorreu em apenas 42,9% dos casos antes da internação e do óbito, seguida por no dia do óbito (11,7%) e após o óbito (8,8%). A mortalidade por dengue predominou em indivíduos do sexo masculino (51,4%), com idade mediana de 74 anos. A análise dos dados demonstrou que o manejo clínico da dengue ainda é desafiador para a equipe de saúde, que precisa se manter permanentemente capacitada para o reconhecimento dos sintomas, sinais de alarme e gravidade, para a correta condução de cada caso, visando a redução da mortalidade.

In the first half of 2023, the number of dengue cases in the Americas surpassed the total for 2022, with Brazil leading the list with 2.3 million disease occurrences and 769 deaths. Dengue is expanding globally and is already considered endemic in more than 100 countries. This study characterizes the profile of dengue deaths from 2015 to 2023 in a municipality of São Paulo. A cross-sectional, retrospective, and descriptive study was conducted with secondary data obtained from the National Notification System (SINAN), Mortality System (SIM), and dengue death database of the municipal epidemiological surveillance mortality committee. Only in 42.9% of cases were the health teams able to identify the signs and symptoms before hospitalization and death, followed by after death (8.8%) and on the day of death (11.7%). Dengue mortality predominated among male individuals (51.4%) with a median age of 74 years. Data analysis showed that the clinical management of dengue remains challenging for health teams, who needs continuous training to recognize the signs and symptoms, warning signs, and severity for correct management of each case, aiming to reduce mortality.

Between freedom and reclusion: social support as a quality-of-life component in the family caregiver-dependent person binomial.

This is a qualitative study which uses Grounded Theory as its methodological framework and Symbolic Interactionism as a theoretical base to understand the experience of family caregivers for Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) patients with regard to social support during their rehabilitation process at home. The components (themes and categories) of the phenomenon assuming home care and specifically the themes assuming care with support and assuming care without support were inter-related for the purpose of comparison and analysis, in order to apprehend how the interaction between them occurred. It was observed that, in addition to the recovery of the patient's autonomy, social support is one of the intervenient components in the quality of life for the family caregiver-disabled person binomial, particularly with respect to the caregiver's freedom to resume his/her life plan.

Movement undertaken by newly graduated nurses towards the strengthening of their professional autonomy and towards patient autonomy.

This study involved newly graduated nurses performing in a public hospital and aimed at apprehending how they interpret the reality of their practice as well as their knowledge and experiences; at identifying and problematizing aspects related to the caregiving practice in terms of compliance with the autonomy bioethical framework and at pointing out ways to overcome the problems identified. The strategy adopted for data collection was the focal group and the theoretical framework was based on the Grounded Theory. Two phenomena emerged from the results: 1) Perceiving the fragility of nurse and patient autonomy and 2) Moving towards the strengthening of nurse and patient autonomy. This allowed for the identification of the core category: movement undertaken by newly graduated nurses towards the strengthening of their professional autonomy and towards patient autonomy. Understanding the experience enabled us to expand the knowledge concerning newly graduate nurses' coping, thus favoring our action as nursing professors.
