Evaluation of the effectiveness of nursing interventions in research from Brazilian postgraduation programs.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate research from Brazilian postgraduate students who provide evidence of effectiveness for Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). METHODS: We conducted a literature review study of thesis and dissertations available in the Brazilian Digital Library of Dissertations and Theses (D/T) in May 2021 regardless of the year they were conducted. In those studies that did not utilize the NIC in the effectiveness evaluation, the cross-mapping methodology was employed between NIC and the interventions used by the authors of the studies. RESULTS: Using a systematic process, we identified 91 studies. Twenty-seven met a priori inclusion and exclusion criteria. We found an increase in studies that focused on nursing interventions in the last 10 years (n = 19), a large proportion of clinical trials (n = 16), and the majority of articles from the Southeast region of Brazil (n = 20). The areas of focus were adult and elderly care, and with a special interest in the behavioral domain (n = 11). Two sensitivity criteria were identified in all D/T (n = 27), and each study presented evidence of effectiveness of a minimum of three criteria simultaneously. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the effectiveness criteria, the Brazilian scientific production in postgraduate programs carried out by nurses provides evidence of the effectiveness for NIC nursing interventions. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: It is recommended to conduct further research that uses the NIC in the planning, conduct, and evaluation of interventions, based on effectiveness criteria of nursing sensitivity.

Perfil epidemiológico das hospitalizações em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal / Epidemiological profile of hospitalizations in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit / Perfil epidemiológico de las hospitalizaciones en Unidad de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal

Objetivo: conhecer as condições de gestação e as características sociodemográficas das mães de recémnascidos internados em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal e descrever causas de internações e características clínicas de recém-nascidos em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal. Método: estudo transversal descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa, em que foram consultados 180 prontuários de recémnascidos hospitalizados na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN) de uma maternidade pública. As informações foram armazenadas em banco de dados informatizado e submetidas à análise estatística descritiva. Resultados: apesar de muitas mulheres não apresentarem intercorrências no período gestacional, inúmeros agravos podem levar os recém-nascidos a dependerem de cuidados intensivos. Conclusão: muitas mulheres não têm acesso aos serviços de saúde preconizados pelas políticas públicas brasileiras. Cardiopatias, malformação congênita, sepse e sífilis levaram o recém-nascido a depender de cuidados intensivos. A maioria das internações ocorreu devido à prematuridade.(AU)

Objective: to know the pregnancy conditions and socio-demographic characteristics of mothers of newborns admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and describe causes of hospitalization and clinical characteristics of newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, in which 180 records of newborns hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of a public hospital were found. The information was stored in a computerized database and submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Although many women do not present complications during pregnancy, many diseases can lead newborns to depend on intensive care. Conclusion: many women do not have access to health services advocated by the Brazilian public policy. Cardiac disorders, congenital malformation, sepsis and syphilis resulted in the newborn having to depend on intensive care. Most hospitalizations occurred due to prematurity.(AU)
