Utilizing the 'Iowa Model Revised: Evidence-Based Practice' to Develop an Intervention for Use in a Hemodialysis Setting.

The development of nursing evidence within hemodialysis is challenged by the vast numbers of specialized tasks clinicians undertake. Developing an evidence base is complex and multi-faceted, requiring a collaborative and well-defined process. Commonly, a process of quality improvement is initially undertaken, whereby nurses develop a plan, undertake action, study outcomes, and review results. However, when reviewing current processes to identify and develop evidence-based practices across various health services, a more detailed and planned methodology is required. This article provides nurses with knowledge to apply a well-defined framework (the Iowa Model-Revised of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Excel lence in Health Care) to transform a quality improvement project into the development of evidence-based practice.

Predictors of Self-Management Behaviors After Discharge Among Unplanned Dialysis Patients.

BACKGROUND: Patients with unplanned dialysis must perform self-management behaviors to maintain their health in the community after discharge. Understanding the factors that predict the postdischarge self-management behaviors of patients with unplanned dialysis can assist nurses to implement appropriate discharge plans for this population. PURPOSE: This study was designed to predict the effects of uncertainty in illness, self-care knowledge, and social-support-related needs during hospitalization on the self-management behaviors of patients with unplanned dialysis during their first 3 months after discharge from the hospital. METHODS: One hundred sixty-nine patients with unplanned dialysis from the nephrology department of a medical center in Taiwan were enrolled in this prospective study using convenience sampling. At hospital admission, demographic, uncertainty in illness, self-care knowledge, and social support information was collected using a structured questionnaire. Information on self-management behavior was collected at 3 months postdischarge when the patients visited outpatient clinics. RESULTS: Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that self-care knowledge, uncertainty in illness, and social support were important predictors of self-management behaviors at 3 months postdischarge, explaining 65.6% of the total variance in self-management behaviors. Social support increased the variance in self-management behaviors by 27.9%. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Comprehensive discharge planning to improve the postdischarge self-management behaviors of patients with unplanned dialysis should involve interventions to improve self-care knowledge, reduce uncertainty in illness, and increase social support. Building social support should be given priority attention.

Enfermeiro de referência na pessoa com doença renal crónica em hemodiálise / Reference nurse for people with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis

O presente relatório, elaborado no contexto do curso de Mestrado em Enfermagem Médico-Cirúrgica, na Vertente Nefrológica, demonstra a aquisição de competências do Enfermeiro Especialista, apresentando-se as reflexões consequentes das atividades desenvolvidas em estágios e, também, explana as competências de mestre que foram adquiridas com a concretização de uma revisão scoping com o título: "Enfermeiro de Referência na pessoa com doença renal crónica em hemodiálise". As pessoas com Doença Renal Crónica (DRC) enfrentam grandes dificuldades na adaptação ao tratamento de Hemodiálise (HD), por ser um processo terapêutico complexo, exaustivo, exigente e sujeito a várias complicações, pelo que necessitam de ajuda consistente e permanente por parte da equipa de enfermagem. As pessoas em HD necessitam de alterar a sua dinâmica de vida, sendo fundamental manterem um papel ativo, de forma a evitar ou reduzir complicações intra e interdialíticas, na possível redução da morbilidade/mortalidade e na promoção do seu bem-estar físico, psicológico, social e espiritual. Devido a esta problemática, torna-se essencial que os cuidados de enfermagem sejam individualizados e centrados na promoção da adaptação da pessoa às limitações ocasionadas pela doença e respetivo tratamento. A Metodologia de Enfermeiro de Referência (MER) baseia-se num modelo de prestação de cuidados que valoriza uma intervenção holística, centrada na pessoa e com uma intervenção individualizada. O Enfermeiro de Referência assume a responsabilidade total da gestão dos cuidados de uma pessoa com DRC (ou várias) específica(s), durante todo o período terapêutico. Com a revisão scoping constatou-se que o Enfermeiro de Referência em Nefrologia deve estabelecer um acompanhamento individualizado e contínuo a cada pessoa, guiado pela melhor evidência científica. Adicionalmente, este profissional tem um papel fundamental na educação e formação desta população, sendo a sua principal função capacitar as pessoas para encarar esta nova condição de saúde. Desta forma, cada pessoa deve tornar-se responsável pela sua saúde, garantindo a redução de possíveis complicações e promovendo a adaptação a este tratamento e condição de vida

This report, prepared in the context of the master's degree in Medical-Surgical Nursing with specialisation in Nephrology, proves the acquisition of skills of the specialist nurse through reflection on the activities developed in internships and it also demonstrates the master skills that were gained from carrying out a scoping review with the title: 'Primary Nurse for the patient with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis'. The patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) faces great difficulties in adapting to hemodialysis (HD) treatment, as it is a complex therapeutic process. It is a very exhaustive, demanding treatment and subject to several complications, so people need consistent and permanent help from the nursing team. People in HD need to change their life dynamics, an active role is vital in order to avoid or reduce intra and interdialytic complications, in the possible reduction of morbidity/mortality and in the promotion of their physical, psychological and social well being. Due to this problem, it is essential that nursing care is individualised and focused on promoting the patient's adaptation to the limitations caused by the disease and treatment. The Primary Nurse Methodology (PNM) is based on a care delivery model that values a holistic, person-centred and individualized intervention. The Primary Nurse assumes full responsibility for the management of the care of a specific patient (or several) during the entire therapeutic period. With the scoping review, it was found that the Primary Nurse in nephrology should establish an individualised and continuous follow-up to each patient, guided by the best scientific evidence. We conclude that the intervention conducted by the Primary Nurse through support, education and prevention of complications is an essential tool to reduce and control symptoms. It was found that this professional also has a vital role in the education and training of the population, with their main function being to enable the patient to face this new health condition. Therefore, the patient becomes responsible for their health, ensuring the reduction of possible complications and promoting adaptation to this treatment and life condition.

[A Project to Improve the Ability of Hemodialysis Staff to Respond to Fire Emergencies].

BACKGROUND & PROBLEMS: In case of fire in the hemodialysis room, it is necessary to help patients get away from dialysis machines smoothly and safely and evacuate the room rapidly. Our unit is located on a higher floor. An investigation showed that the accuracy rate for fire response awareness among the staffs in our unit was only 57.9%, while the accuracy rate of fire response skill operations was only 57.4%. Moreover, 62.0% of the staffs were not clear about the task grouping and task content of fire response. Confusion in our unit regarding the definition of patient mobility led to staffs classifying patients based on subjective perceptions and standards. Moreover, the unit also lacked an audit system for fire emergency operations and fire-response-related learning materials. PURPOSE: To improve staff knowledge and skills related to fire emergency response in the hemodialysis room to 100%. RESOLUTION: The project team worked out solutions such as adding a self-defense fire-fighting group to the dialysis information system, producing fire emergency response learning materials, establishing a seed personnel system, organizing on-the-job education, organizing fire response simulation drills, and implementing an audit system. RESULTS: The awareness of fire emergency response and the accuracy of skill operation among the staff were both improved to 100%, and there were statistically significant differences between the pre-test and post-test paired t-test results. Furthermore, consistent implementation of these resolution measures maintained the staff`s fire emergency response skills at 100% between June 2019 and May 2020. CONCLUSIONS: Tabletop simulation, practice drills, and skill operation audits are effective tools for improving the ability of staff in the hemodialysis room to respond to fire emergencies. It is recommended that institutions produce tabletop simulation props and combine regular on-site drills to improve the readiness of their staffs to respond to fire emergencies, which will shorten the response time during incidents.

[Applying Swanson`s Caring Theory to a Patient With End Renal Stage Disease Experiencing Hopelessness].

This article describes an experience providing nursing care to a patient under hemodialysis with the end-stage renal disease who had developed depression, loathing, and other, negative personal perceptions and gradually gave up on life goals due to hopelessness. The duration of nursing care, from August 23rd through August 29th, 2019, was revisited to identify the patient`s hopelessness in the dimensions of physiology, mental status, society, and spirituality. The author applied Swanson`s Caring Theory to facilitate the process of "knowing" and "being with" while performing direct nursing care and attentive listening to assist the patient to become more open-minded and to express personal perceptions toward the disease with the goal of further engaging the patient to increase self-awareness recognition, sense of loss, and negative perceptions. Through "doing for" and "enabling," the author reinforced infection control and identified the symptoms of fluid-overload, moisture, and salinity to raise the patient`s self-awareness and self-caring techniques and to lower the risk of hospitalization. Meanwhile, by "maintaining the patient`s belief," accompanied by the encouragement and attention from family members and providing linkages to patient-support communities, the patient was guided to identify and aggregate to foster positive thinking and self-worth to increase acceptance of living with the disease. Nursing personnel may apply Swanson`s Caring Theory to better consider the patient`s perspective, provide individual caring schemes, and strengthen the recognition, self-caring techniques and supportive systems of patients, increasing patient perceptions of self-worth, restoring their confidence, promoting their adaption to their disease, and improving attentiveness.

Effect of continuous nursing on quality of life of hemodialysis patients: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Hemodialysis is a common treatment for patients with end-stage renal failure. Long-term hemodialysis will lead to a series of complications and reduce the quality of life of patients. At present, routine nursing is only limited to in-hospital patients, whereas continuous nursing is an extension of hospital nursing work, which can solve the follow-up health problems of some patients and meet the health needs of patients in their daily life. A number of clinical studies have shown that continuous nursing can improve the quality of life of hemodialysis patients, but there is a lack of evidence-based medicine. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the effect of continuous nursing on the quality of life of hemodialysis patients through systematic evaluation. METHOD: The Cochrance Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, VP Information Chinese Journal Service Platform (VIP), and Wanfang will be searched by computer. In addition, Baidu academic and Google academic are searched manually, and all randomized controlled trials on the effects of continuous nursing on the quality of life of hemodialysis patients are collected. The retrieval time is of the establishment of the database to January 31, 2021. Two evaluators screens, extract and evaluate the literature, and the data are analyzed by RevMan5.3 software. RESULT: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of continuous nursing on the quality of life of hemodialysis patients by the MOS item short from health survey, exercise of self-care agency, and the incidence of complications. CONCLUSION: This study will provide reliable evidence for the application of continuous nursing in hemodialysis patients. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/HZKUA.

Activated platelets in central venous catheters: a flow cytometry and numerical simulation approach

The central venous catheter that is inserted in patients undergoing hemodialysis can cause hemodynamic instability and trigger complications such as thrombus formation. The objective of this study was to investigate hemostatic and numerical influences on thrombus formation in patients undergoing hemodialysis with a central venous catheter. Participants were assigned to three groups: I: clinical and laboratorial healthy individuals matched by sex and age (controls); II: participants after one month of insertion of the catheter and III: participants after 4 months of insertion of the catheter. Platelet activation was investigated by GPIIb/IIIa and p-selectin expressions using flow cytometry. A three-dimensional model of the catheter was constructed in the numerical simulation for the calculation of partial differential equation of a platelet activation model. A significant difference was detected by the expression of p-selectin comparing the group I (33.42 ± 4.74), group II (40.79 ± 5.54) and group III(51.00 ± 7.21) (p < 0.0001). The median values for GPIIb/IIIa were 10426 (10029-10721), 13921 (13412-15652) and 19946 (18714-21815) after catheter insertion (p < 0.0001), for groups I, II and III, respectively. Excluding the first arterial orifice, venous orifices tend to have greater platelet activation when compared to the other arterial orifices. The results of this study showed the influence of arterial and venous lateral orifices in stimulating the development of thrombi associated with the activation of platelet markers the longer the catheter was used.

The work environment of haemodialysis nurses and its mediating role in burnout.

BACKGROUND: The work environment can contribute to the occurrence of nurses' burnout. OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the work environment of haemodialysis nurses and the extent of burnout they have suffered, and it explored the connection between work environment and burnout. DESIGN: A multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted in 53 public, hospital-based haemodialysis units in Greece. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 537 haemodialysis nurses participated. The majority consisted of females (90.8%) who possessed a university degree or a degree from a technological institute (72.6%). They had an average of 15 years of experience in dialysis. MEASUREMENTS: The Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) were used. The demographic characteristics of the participants were also collected. RESULTS: Although the nurses rated their work environment as healthy, they were experiencing a moderate degree of burnout. The multivariate linear regression analysis with the CBI scales as dependent variables was applied. The increased nurses' participation in hospital affairs was associated with decreased personal (coefficient ß = -9.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -17.4 to -1.3, p = 0.023), work-related (coefficient ß = -12.9, 95% CI = -22.5 to -3.5, p = 0.008) and patient-related burnout (coefficient ß = -15.9, 95% CI = -24.5 to -7.4, p = < 0.001). The better collegial nurse-physician relationships were associated with decreased personal (coefficient ß = -10.7, 95% CI = -18.3 to -3.0, p = .007) and work-related burnout (coefficient ß = -15.1, 95% CI = -23.3 to -7.0, p = < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The work environment of haemodialysis nurses was associated with burnout. Its improvement is an important tool in administrations' effort to ensure the nursing staff's well-being.

Uso de aplicativo em hemodiálise: vivências dos sentidos da equipe de Enfermagem na abordagem sociopoética / Use of an app in hemodialysis by the nursing team: experiences of the senses in the sociopoetic approach

O objeto de estudo deste relatório de pesquisa refere-se a analisar a vivência dos sentidos do uso de um aplicativo relativo aos fluxogramas de Procedimentos Operacionais Padrão pelos profissionais de Enfermagem como subsídios ao cuidado em Centro de Diálise. Seus objetivos foram dar voz ao pensamento sobre a utilização da ferramenta tecnológica pela equipe de Enfermagem; identificar de que forma o profissional de Enfermagem vivencia o cuidado utilizando o aplicativo e analisar a influência da comunicação nesse processo de cuidar utilizando uma ferramenta tecnológica. A metodologia utilizada foi a sociopoética, por meio de grupos pesquisadores, feita a partir das vivências da realidade no manuseio da ferramenta tecnológica, levando em consideração os conhecimentos e as experiências que as pessoas já têm. O cenário da pesquisa foi o setor de Nefrologia de um hospital universitário localizado no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A pesquisa contou com três etapas e os instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados foram: na primeira etapa, observação participante; na segunda etapa, grupos pesquisadores e na terceira etapa, diário de campo. Nessa primeira etapa, foram construídos um problema e o tema que seriam trabalhados a partir da necessidade de pesquisa. Na segunda etapa, a partir dos grupos pesquisadores e da análise de conteúdo, construíram-se três categorias. São elas: 1) O aplicativo como ferramenta de aprendizado; 2) O aplicativo como ferramenta de retirada de dúvidas; 3) O aplicativo como uma nova forma de comunicação: comunicação digital. Na terceira etapa, analisando as manifestações não verbais colhidas por meio do diário de campo, puderam-se captar algumas manifestações que são condizentes com o momento em que foram observadas. O Grupo Pesquisador ressignificou o cuidado com o uso do aplicativo, vendo que este é uma ferramenta de auxílio e que traz o retorno necessário para a retirada de dúvidas e o empoderamento da equipe de Enfermagem em serviço. O Grupo Pesquisador, partindo do princípio da atividade lúdica, chegou ao final mostrando que o trabalho desenvolvido por eles tem o seu valor evidenciado por meio de alternativas tecnológicas de cuidado no qual estão sempre abertos a receber em prol da melhorida assistência prestada ao paciente. Houve a construção de poesia como forma de síntese em grupo, que reafirmou o que foi representado nos desenhos e nas falas. Os participantes fizeram recomendações a respeito de estratégias que podem ser utilizadas pelos enfermeiros no cuidado aos pacientes e mostraram-se satisfeitos com os encontros e pedindo que novos fossem marcados. Os diários de campo resultaram em eixos que fazem intercessões com as categorias já descritas anteriormente, pois ratificam caminhos que visam a responder aos objetivos a que se propõe a pesquisa. Destacam-se a união do grupo, a vontade de estar presente, o sentimento de pertencimento a um lugar de fala e escuta, que foi cuidadosamente pensado para que suas artes e opiniões estivessem de acordo com suas expressões não verbais. Concluiu-se que o aplicativo continua sendo utilizado no dia a dia nos afazeres daqueles que praticam o cuidado em Enfermagem, que o profissional sente segurança durante a utilização, sensação de pertencimento e importância na profissão exercida e reconhecida na unidade, embora se admita que ainda precisa de maior reconhecimento de instâncias hierarquicamente superiores. O modelo metodológico proposto cumpriu o seu papel no alcance dos objetivos, mostrando-se eficaz para processos avaliativos em serviço.

The object of study of this research report refers to analyze the experience of the use of an application related to the flowcharts of Standard Operating Procedures by Nursing professionals as subsidies to care in a Dialysis Center. Its objectives were to give voice to the thoughts on the use of the technological tool by the Nursing team; to identify how the Nursing professional experiences care using the application, and to analyze the influence of communication in this process of caring using a technological tool. The methodology used was the sociopoetic one, by means of research groups, based on the experiences of reality in the handling of the technological tool, taking into account the knowledge and experiences that people already have. The research setting was the Nephrology sector of a university hospital located in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The research had three stages and the data collection instruments used were: in the first stage, participant observation; in the second stage, research groups, and in the third stage, a field diary. In this first stage, a problem and the theme that would be worked on from the need for research were constructed. In the second stage, from the research groups and the content analysis, three categories were built. They are: 1) The application as a learning tool; 2) The application as a tool to remove doubts; 3) The application as a new form of communication: digital communication. In the third stage, analyzing the non-verbal manifestations collected through the field diary, it was possible to capture some manifestations that are consistent with the moment in which they were observed. The Research Group resigned the care with the use of the application, seeing that this is an aid tool that brings the necessary feedback for the removal of doubts and the empowerment of the Nursing team in service. The Research Group, based on the principle of playful activity, reached the end showing that the work developed by them has its value evidenced by means of technological alternatives of care in which they are always open to receive in favor of improving the assistance provided to the patient. A poem was written as a form of group synthesis, which reaffirmed what was represented in the drawings and in the speeches. The participants made recommendations about strategies that can be used by nurses in patient carand expressed their satisfaction with the meetings, asking for new ones to be scheduled. The field diaries resulted in axes that make intercessions with the previously described categories, because they ratify paths that aim to answer the research objectives. The unity of the group, the willingness to be present, the feeling of belonging to a place of speaking and listening, which was carefully thought out so that their art and opinions would be in accordance with their non-verbal expressions, stand out. It was concluded that the application continues to be used on a daily basis in the tasks of those who practice nursing care, that professionals feel safe when using it, and feel a sense of belonging and importance in the profession exercised and recognized in the unit, although it is admitted that it still needs greater recognition from higher hierarchical instances. The proposed methodological model fulfilled its role in reaching the objectives, proving to be effective for evaluative processes in service.
