Conceptualising personhood in nursing care for people with altered consciousness, cognition and behaviours: A discussion paper.

The aim of this discussion paper is to explore factors and contexts that influence how nurses might conceptualise and assign personhood for people with altered consciousness, cognition and behaviours. While a biomedical framing is founded upon a dichotomy between the body and self, such that the body can be subjected to a medical and objectifying gaze, relational theories of self, multiculturalism and technological advances for life-sustaining interventions present new dilemmas which necessitate discussion about what constitutes personhood. The concept of personhood is dynamic and evolving: where historical constructs of rationality, agency, autonomy and a conscious mind once formed the basis for personhood, these ideas have been challenged to encompass embodied, relational, social and cultural paradigms of selfhood. Themes in this discussion include: the right to personhood, mind-body dualism versus the embodied self; personhood as consciousness, rationality and narratives of self; social relational contexts of personhood and cultural contexts of personhood. Patricia Benner's and Christine Tanner's clinical judgement model is then applied to consider the implications for nursing care that seeks to reflexively incorporate personhood. Nurse clinicians are able to move between conceptions of personhood and act to support the body, as well as presumed autonomy and relational, social and cultural personhood. In doing so, they use analytical, intuitive and narrative reasoning which prioritises autonomous constructions of self. They also incorporate relational and social contexts of the person receiving care within the possibilities of technological advances and constraints of contextual resources.

Nursing care for hospitalized older adults - fall accidents versus safe mobility: a scoping review.

OBJECTIVES: to map the constituent elements of the safe mobility concept present in hospital care for older adults. METHODS: a scoping review of 35 articles searched in databases and gray literature - BDENF/VHL, Scopus, CINAHL/EBSCO, Embase, Web of Science, PEDro, MEDLINE/PubMed and CAPES Theses and Dissertations Catalog. No time or language cut-off was established. RESULTS: none of the studies presented a clear safe mobility concept, however its constituent elements involve factors related to patient (behavioral factors, conditions, diseases, signs and symptoms, nutritional status, age, balance, strength, gait quality, sleep), the institution (environment, treatment devices, guidelines, medications and polypharmacy, material and human resources and clothing/shoes) and the nature of the interventions (related to the patient, institution and family). FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the constituent elements of safe mobility express hospital units' capacity to guarantee care and protection from fall accidents for hospitalized older adults.

The use of spirituality/religiosity by oncology nurse residents in nursing care.

OBJECTIVES: to analyze the use of spirituality/religiosity by oncology nurse residents in caring for patients with cancer. METHODS: a census, descriptive, sectional study, with 46 nurse residents from three public hospitals in Rio de Janeiro. Data collection took place between August 2020 and January 2021, using a sociodemographic questionnaire, including a question about the use of spirituality/ religiosity to deal with work situations. Descriptive analysis was carried out using SPSS software version 22.0. RESULTS: participants stated that they use religiosity/spirituality in work situations related to patients or themselves. In relation to patients, death was the most mentioned situation among professionals, and for themselves, everyday situations and emotional vulnerability were the most mentioned. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: spirituality and religiosity are dimensions that guide oncology nurse residents' attitudes.

Drug-resistant tuberculosis: integrative review of nursing care in primary health care.

OBJECTIVES: to identify, in the scientific literature, the care that should be provided to individuals with drug-resistant tuberculosis by nurses in primary health care. METHODS: integrative review, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses study selection flowchart. Data collection was conducted in November 2022, across ten databases. RESULTS: six studies emphasized that nurses should perform directly observed treatment; two highlighted the importance of integrated care management between tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus; two demonstrated comprehensive nursing consultation using the nursing process; one emphasized person-centered care, with discharge planning and improved hospital communication with primary health care services. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the care that nurses should provide to individuals with drug-resistant tuberculosis in primary health care, for care resolution, is evidence-based.

Relationship between missed nursing care and patients' trust in nurses and satisfaction with care: A cross-sectional study.

Missed nursing care is a global health problem that can have negative consequences for patients, nurses, and healthcare institutions. The purpose of the research is to determine the relationship of missed nursing care with patients' trust in nurses and satisfaction with care. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 350 patients treated at the cardiology clinic of a university hospital. Data were collected using the MISSCARE Survey-Patient, the Trust in Nurses Scale (TNS), and the Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS). There was a strong positive relationship between trust in nursing and satisfaction with care. Additionally, missed care in communication and basic care had a negative relationship with trust in nursing and satisfaction with care (p < 0.001). The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the communication subscale score was the best negative predictor of trust in nurses and satisfaction with care. The results of this research indicate a deficiency in adequately addressing all nursing care activities. The failure to meet nurse-patient communication needs is the most important missed care factor that negatively affects satisfaction with care and trust in nurses.

Critical analysis of the scientific production on Jean Watson's Theory of Human Care.

OBJECTIVES: to analyze current scientific production on the use of the theoretical-methodological precepts of Jean Watson's Theory of Human Care/Clinical Caritas Process. METHODS: quantitative, exploratory, descriptive study using data from 1979 to 2023 in the Scopus database. Analysis was carried out using VOSviewer software. RESULTS: the 73 studies included establish a network of collaboration among 221 authors from 155 institutions in 18 countries, who discuss the development of ethical behavior in nursing staff, through technical improvement, implementation, and validation of instrumental strategies capable of measuring and evaluating the quality of holistic and empathetic care. The Theory of Human Caring contributes to nursing training and care, and Process Clinical Caritas-Veritas is useful for the different possibilities of practice and education. CONCLUSIONS: it is important to strengthen with more empirical data a nursing work model centered on individual human care, supporting the evolution of scientific nursing knowledge.

Technology for nursing care in a Maternal Intensive Care Unit: a methodological study.

OBJECTIVES: to develop and validate a nursing care plan in a Maternal Intensive Care Unit. METHODS: a methodological study, developed in stages: integrative review; Nursing History construction; care plan restructuring; appearance and content validity by judges. RESULTS: the history was organized into sections: Identification; Basic Human Needs; Physical Examination; and Assessment of Basic Human Needs. A care plan was restructured with 34 diagnoses, organized according to basic human needs. A satisfactory level of appearance validity of the history and care plan was obtained (Concordance Index varying between 86.3 and 100 for both instruments), and content validity with average indexes of 90.8 and 92.8, respectively. Thirty-four diagnoses, their interventions and nursing actions were consolidated. CONCLUSIONS: the instruments were considered relevant and pertinent in terms of appearance and content, and their use in the institution under study as well as in other similar services may be recommended.

Nursing care protocol for critical users with tracheostomy under mechanical ventilation.

OBJECTIVES: to develop and assess a nursing care protocol for critically ill users with tracheostomy under mechanical ventilation. METHODS: a methodological study, developed through two phases, guided by the 5W2H management tool: I) target audience characterization and II) technology development. RESULTS: thirty-four nursing professionals participated in this study, who presented educational demands in relation to care for critical users with tracheostomy, with an emphasis on standardizing care through a protocol and carrying out continuing education. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the creation and validity of new technologies aimed at this purpose enhanced the participation of nursing professionals and their empowerment in the health institution's microsectoral actions and in macrosectoral actions, highlighting the need for public policies that guarantee the conduct of a line of care for users with tracheostomy.

Association of quality of nursing care with violence load, burnout, and listening climate.

BACKGROUND: Violence against nurses is common. Previous research has recommended further development of the measurement of violence against nurses and integration of the individual and ward-related factors that contribute to violence against hospital nurses. This study was designed to address these issues by investigating the associations between violence, the listening climate of hospital wards, professional burnout, and perceived quality of care. For this purpose, we used a new operationalization of the violence concept. METHODS: We sought nurses to participate in the study through social media which yielded 765 nurses working in various healthcare systems across Israel who volunteered to complete a self-administered online questionnaire. 80% of the sample were hospital nurses, and 84.7% were female. The questionnaire included validated measures of burnout, listening climate, and quality of care. Instead of using the traditional binary measure of exposure to violence to capture the occurrence and comprehensive impact of violence, this study measured the incremental load of violence to which nurses are subjected. RESULTS: There were significant correlations between violence load and perceived quality of care and between constructive and destructive listening climates and quality of care. Violence load contributed 14% to the variance of burnout and 13% to the variance of perceived quality of care. The ward listening climate moderated the relationship between burnout and quality of care. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study highlight the impact of violence load among nurses and the ward listening climate on the development of burnout and on providing quality care. The findings call upon policymakers to monitor violence load and allocate resources to foster supportive work environments to enhance nurse well-being and improve patient care outcomes.

Using interoperable nursing care data to improve outcomes for multiple traumas patients with Impaired Physical Mobility.

AIM(S): To demonstrate how interoperable nursing care data can be used by nurses to create a more holistic understanding of the healthcare needs of multiple traumas patients with Impaired Physical Mobility. By proposing and validating linkages for the nursing diagnosis of Impaired Physical Mobility in multiple trauma patients by mapping to the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) and Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) equivalent terms using free-text nursing documentation. DESIGN: A descriptive cross-sectional design, combining quantitative analysis of interoperable data sets and the Kappa's coefficient score with qualitative insights from cross-mapping methodology and nursing professionals' consensus. METHODS: Cross-mapping methodology was conducted in a Brazilian Level 1 Trauma Center using de-identified records of adult patients with a confirmed medical diagnosis of multiple traumas and Impaired Physical Mobility (a nursing diagnosis). The hospital nursing free-text records were mapped to NANDA-I, NIC, NOC and NNN linkages were identified. The data records were retrieved for admissions from September to October 2020 and involved medical and nursing records. Three expert nurses evaluated the cross-mapping and linkage results using a 4-point Likert-type scale and Kappa's coefficient. RESULTS: The de-identified records of 44 patients were evaluated and then were mapped to three NOCs related to nurses care planning: (0001) Endurance; (0204) Immobility Consequences: Physiological, and (0208) Mobility and 13 interventions and 32 interrelated activities: (6486) Environmental Management: Safety; (0840) Positioning; (3200) Aspiration Precautions; (1400) Pain Management; (0940) Traction/Immobilization Care; (3540) Pressure Ulcer Prevention; (3584) Skincare: Topical Treatment; (1100) Nutrition Management; (3660) Wound Care; (1804) Self-Care Assistance: Toileting; (1801) Self-Care Assistance: Bathing/Hygiene; (4130) Fluid Monitoring; and (4200) Intravenous Therapy. The final version of the constructed NNN Linkages identified 37 NOCs and 41 NICs. CONCLUSION: These valid NNN linkages for patients with multiple traumas can serve as a valuable resource that enables nurses, who face multiple time constraints, to make informed decisions efficiently. This approach of using evidence-based linkages like the one developed in this research holds high potential for improving patient's safety and outcomes. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: In this study, there was no direct involvement of patients, service users, caregivers or public members in the design, conduct, analysis and interpretation of data or preparation of the manuscript. The study focused solely on analysing existing de-identified medical and nursing records to propose and validate linkages for nursing diagnoses.

Rationing of nursing care and assessment of work safety and a healthy work environment in intensive care units: A cross-sectional, correlational study.

INTRODUCTION: Rationing of nursing care, whichrefers to the aspects of care not delivered by nurses in an intensive care unit (ICU), has implicationsfor patient outcomes and experiences. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify the extent to which nursing care is rationed in intensive care units, as well as asses quality of nursing care, and the level of job satisfaction and its correlation with an assessment of the climate of work safety, teamwork, and a healthy work environment. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted. The study included 226 ICU nurses. It was conducted with the use of three instruments: the Perceived Implicit Rationing of Nursing Care (PRINCA) questionnaire on the rationing of nursing care, assessment of patient care quality and job satisfaction, American Association of Critical-Care Nurses Healthy Work Environment Assessment Tool (HWEAT) and the Safe Attitudes and Behaviours Questionnaire questionnaire in the version: Teamwork and Safety Climate (BePoZa). SETTINGS: Intensive Care Units in Warmia and Mazury Region in Poland. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Level of Nursing Care Rationing in Intensive Care Units. RESULTS: The majority of participants were women (89.82 %) with a mean age of 42.47 years. The average score for nursing care rationing across all groups was 0.58. The mean score for the HWEAT was 2.7 and BePoZa was 3.72. The scores from the questionnaires were negatively correlated with the nursing care rationing scores, being -0.36 for the HWEAT and -0.45 for BePoZa. All correlation coefficients were statistically significant at a p-value of less than 0.05. CONCLUSIONS: It is important to monitor work safety, teamwork climate, and standards of a healthy work environment in ICUs to minimise the risk of rationing nursing care. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE: Interventions that enhance work organisation and teamwork can elevate nursing quality and job satisfaction in ICUs, while underestimating patient care tasks; thus, highlighting the need for further research on the factors influencing nursing performance.

Nursing, history, and orthopedics in manuals (1875-1928).

OBJECTIVES: to discuss the content of manuals, with emphasis on orthopedics, in support of the development of nursing care culture. METHODS: cultural-historical method articulated with document analysis technique. The sources were nursing manuals - Portuguese, French, English, and Spanish - from 1875 to 1928. RESULTS: this study pointed to 12 works - 6 authored by physicians, 2 by nurses, 3 institutional, and 1 by a Sister of Charity - that presented, in a transversal way, the professionalization process initiated in Europe. The manuals addressed first aid care and immobilization methods, from the simplest, such as improvised splints, to the application of plaster casts. CONCLUSIONS: the nurses' work, even in a limited capacity, showed that they were able to observe warning signs so that doctors could act, with some exceptions.

Focus group in the development of concepts for a Nursing model: experience report.

OBJECTIVE: To communicate the experience of developing concepts for the construction of a care model through focus groups. METHODS: An experience report on the development of concepts through remote focus groups with members of a research group from a public university in southern Brazil. RESULTS: Focus groups were developed in which homogeneity and heterogeneity criteria were observed among participants. In addition to the concepts of the nursing metaparadigm, the concepts of care and family-centered care were developed, relevant to the nursing care model in question. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Despite the challenges of conducting remote focus groups, they were suitable for the collective construction of concepts for a nursing care model, allowing the interaction of participants from different locations.

Missed nursing care: A cross-sectional and multi-centric study from Turkey.

AIM: The aim of this study is to explore the extent of missed nursing care in Turkey and identify its predictors. DESIGN: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, multicentre study. METHODS: A total of 477 nurses working in seven public hospitals participated in this study from March to July 2019. The survey included two components: a personal and professional characteristics data form and the MISSCARE survey. RESULTS: The study revealed that emotional support, patient bathing and ambulation were the most frequently missed nursing care activities. An inadequate number of assistive personnel and staff, along with an unexpected increase in patient volume, were identified as the primary reasons for missed nursing care. Of the 21 missed nursing care activities, nine predictive models showed statistical significance (p < 0.05). Factors such as the type of unit, years of work experience, working hours, number of patients cared for in a shift and intention to leave the unit were found to be significant predictors of seven missed nursing care activities (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study found that numerous variables influence each care activity, which suggests the need to devise more targeted and specific strategies to minimize missed nursing care. Thorough investigation into the impact of these strategies on each care activity is essential.

Introduction: Known as immunological, autoimmune or isoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura is a frequent hematological disease that can be acute, more frequent in children, or chronic, when it persists for more than a year, typical in adults. Objective: To identify in the scientific literature data on thrombocytopenic purpura, regarding clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and nursing care. Material and Method: Study based on an integrative literature review with a search carried out in the database of the Virtual Health Library, Scientific Electronic Library Online and Google Scholar, by the descriptors: "Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura", "Nursing Care", and their respective English translations: "IdiopaticThrombocytopenic Purpura" and "Nursing Care" in association with Boolean operators "OR" and "AND", to expand the search for articles from the last five years. Results: 121 potentially relevant articles were identified, 4 of which were excluded due to duplicity, totaling 117 articles. After reading the title and abstract, 17 articles were selected and 100 were excluded. Then, 12 were excluded for not answering the guiding question of the study, totaling 5 articles to carry out the qualitative synthesis in full. There is emphasis on the importance of systematizing nursing care for the patient affected by the disease, and on the challenges of the nursing team in the blood transfusion procedure. Also an experience report of what it is like to live with the disease and the treatment, an integrative review on the clinical manifestations of the disease and the difficulty of diagnosing Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. Conclusion: Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura is considered a serious disease and difficult to diagnose, as it can be confused with other diseases. The treatment is specific, carried out with plasmapheresis procedures and blood transfusions in specialized and highly complex care units. Thus, the nursing team needs to be prepared for self-care and the nurse encouraged to develop ways of caring and research with approaches to the disease
