Acceptability and applicability of an intervention programme with substance addicts. / Aceitabilidade e aplicabilidade de um programa de intervenção com usuários dependentes de substâncias.

The complexity of the problems related to the harmful use of substances requires regular questioning of practices. This article aims to explore the acceptability and applicability of an intervention programme for patients with problematic substance use. Qualitative study. Data collection, through a focus group with 6 nurses and 6 semi-structured interviews with patients under treatment. We have used lexicographic textual analysis. From the focus group, 151 text segments were analysed, retaining 85.8% of the total for the creation of five classes. An analysis of similarity led to the formation of two central nuclei, represented by the words "Nursing" and "Intervention". From interviews, 252 text segments were analysed, retaining 71.83% for the creation of 5 classes. An analysis of similarity led to the formation of three central nuclei, represented by the words "want", "programme" and "see". Nurses recognise the need for a more structured and flexible approach focused on people's needs. Users also affirm the need for flexible interventions, without a pre-established time frame, that promote labour integration, therapeutic support for abstinence and management of comorbidities.

Integrated embracement in Psychosocial Care Centers for Alcohol and Drugs in the perspective of the protection of human rights. / Acolhimento integral em Centros de Atenção Psicossocial Álcool e Drogas na perspectiva da proteção dos direitos humanos.

This article aims to assess whether or not the results of integrated embracement in Psychosocial Care Centers for Alcohol and Drugs III (CAPS AD III) meet the quality standards necessary for the protection of and respect for users' human rights. An evaluative, quantitative, and longitudinal design was developed through a study with 122 users, embraced in two CAPS AD III follow-ups after 14 and 90 days. This study analyzed the quality of life indicators, consequences of substance abuse, and psychosocial rehabilitation in the light of the QualityRights framework. Three themes and nine patterns were evaluated. In this study, four patterns were classified as total reach, four as partial reach, and one as initiated reach. The right to enjoy the highest possible standard of physical and mental health was the standard most achieved by integrated embracement (theme 2). The right to exercise legal capacity and the right to personal freedom and security were achieved, but with some weaknesses (theme 3). The right to live independently and be included in the community requires other social resources, in addition to specialized mental health care in order to be improved (theme 5).

Este artigo tem por objetivo avaliar se os resultados do acolhimento integral em Centros de Atenção Psicossocial Álcool e Drogas III (CAPS AD III) atendem aos padrões de qualidade para proteção e respeito dos direitos humanos dos usuários. Desenvolvemos um estudo avaliativo, quantitativo e de desenho longitudinal com 122 usuários acolhidos integralmente em dois CAPS AD III, com follow-up após 14 e 90 dias. Os resultados dos indicadores qualidade de vida, consequências da dependência de substâncias e reabilitação psicossocial, foram posteriormente analisados à luz do referencial QualityRights. Três temas e nove padrões foram avaliados. Quatro padrões foram classificados como alcance total, quatro como alcance parcial e um como alcance iniciado. O direito a usufruir do padrão mais elevado possível de saúde física e mental foi o padrão mais atingido pelo acolhimento integral (tema 2). O direito a exercer a capacidade legal e o direito à liberdade pessoal e segurança foi atendido com algumas fragilidades (tema 3). O direito de viver de forma independente e ser incluído na comunidade, necessita de outros recursos sociais, além do cuidado especializado em saúde mental, para ser melhorado (tema 5).

Consequences of psychoactive substance use: a comparative study of two services in Brazil and Portugal.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the consequences of psychoactive substance use among users of mental health services in Brazil and Portugal. METHOD: Cross-sectional, comparative, quantitative study, carried out with 362 users of two specialized treatment services in the cities of São Paulo (n = 200) and Lisbon (n = 162). Data collected in 2019 through the application of the Substance Addiction Consequences scale. A descriptive analysis and ordinary least squares and logistic regressions were performed. RESULTS: All dimensions assessed by the scale were more severe for Brazilian users, with a difference for the physical domain and cognitive skills (p < 0.01). Brazilian participants were more likely to consume cocaine (p < 0.01) and have psychosis (p = 0.02) and Portuguese participants to have hepatitis (p < 0.01), personality disorders (p < 0.01), use benzodiazepines (p < 0.01) and tobacco (p < 0.01), and receive pharmacological support (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: It was found that Brazilian users have more serious consequences related to substance use, and Portuguese users have more comorbidities and exposure to risky consumption. It emerges that Portuguese responses minimize the consequences severity.

Moving Beyond Nursing Standardized Language for Substance Use Problems.

Nursing knowledge has been accompanied by the evolution of nursing standardized language systems (SLS) that can help nurses to systematize nursing care. We analyzed referential integrity (diagnosis, results, interventions) of substance related problems in Nursing SLS through documentary analysis: ICNP®, NANDA-I, Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC), Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC), NANDA NIC NOC (NNN). ICNP® has a definition of "substance abuse" but there are no clinical indicators or related factors to help formulate a diagnosis. NANDA-I does not define any related diagnosis, although it appears as related to or as a risk factor in 36 diagnoses. In NIC and NOC there are interventions and outcomes related. The phenomenon is omitted in NANDA-I and treated in a stigmatized manner by ICNP. Clear clinical indicators may be needed to help nursing diagnosis and to lead clinical reasoning.

Burnout assessment in nurses from a general emergency service / Evaluación del burnout en enfermeros de un servicio de urgencia general / Avaliação do burnout em enfermeiros de um serviço de urgência geral

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the level of Burnout among nurses in a general emergency department. Method: Quantitative, descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study. 32 nurses from a general adult emergency department answered a questionnaire to evaluate Burnout. (Copenhagen Burnout Inventory). Result: It was verified that 59.4% of the nurses presented total Burnout. Work-related burnout was the subscale with the highest average score. It was found that the lower the age and the longer the time working in the institution, the higher the level of Burnout. Longer professional experience was related to lower levels of Burnout. There were also higher scores of Burnout among participants who thought about changing their profession, their institution or their service. Conclusion: The prevalence of Burnout is high. Professional Burnout was the most critical subscale. Age and the current work are the subscales that most influence perceived Burnout

A national survey of the nurses' mental health - The case of Portugal.

AIM: To understand Portuguese nurses' perceptions of their mental health. BACKGROUND: The impact of nurses' health and well-being on the quality and safety of the care they provide is well known. In Portugal, there are no representative studies regarding nurses' mental health. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Transversal, analytical, and observational methods were used, with a quantitative approach. Participants answered questions through an online form. We collected data concerning social-professional characterization, general health status, and mental health. The General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) was used. RESULTS: A total of 1264 nurses participated in a nonrandomized sample. Two-thirds revealed a negative perception of their mental health. Of these, 22.2% reported severe depression symptoms, 71.6% indicated significant somatic symptoms, 76% showed significant anxiety, and 94.1% presented some kind of social dysfunction. CONCLUSION: Better mental health is associated with being part of a larger household, enjoying more hours of sleep, having more free weekends, being male, working as a specialist, and engaging in leisure activities. Worse mental health is associated with being older, having a longer career, working more hours, and practicing in the hospital context. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The professionals' living and working conditions must be addressed by their managers.

Clinical Validation of the Portuguese Version of "Substance Addiction Consequences" Derived from the Nursing Outcomes Classification.

Our aim was to contribute to the clinical validation of "Substance Addiction Consequences" (SAC) derived from the nursing outcomes classification (NOC), and to analyse psychometric properties. To that purpose, we applied a methodological design. The study's outcome comprises 16 nursing-sensitive indicators, within four different consequence factors: psychological and family; physical and cognitive ability; self-care; economic and work. The psychometric properties were considered good. We concluded that the scale can be used as a valid tool to measure the consequences of substance addiction and to assess the health status as a nursing sensitive outcome. The scale is considered valid to monitor nursing interventions in the clinical setting; being a comprehensive tool it allows the nurse to understand better this complex health problem.

Testing Nursing Sensitive Outcomes in Out-Patient Drug Addicts, with "Nursing Role Effectiveness Model".

Our aim was to identify factors that contribute to a better outcome in drug users and to understand the effectiveness of nursing interventions, by applying "Nursing Role Effectiveness Model" (NREM). It's a correlational, cross-sectional study with 180 drug users in a methadone program, randomly selected from three community services. We identified that treatment time, lower co-morbidities, less poly-drug use, family support and being employed contribute to a better quality of life, better mental health, less substance addiction consequences and more satisfaction with nursing care (p < 0.05). Those data were also related with nursing interventions using Structural Equation Model and we found that nursing care contributes 29% to health outcome improvement. The model revealed itself adequate to assess the effectiveness of nursing interventions (X2: 82.51/(34) = 2.426; p < 0.01, NFI = 0.927, CFI = 0.955, RFI = 0.903, GFI = 0.917, PGFI = 0.567, PCFI = 0.722, PNFI = 0.700, RMSEA = 0.089). Compared with the NREM original model, our findings reveal new relationships between the users' structural variables and the health outcomes and also relationship between units' structural variables and nurses' structural variables.

Satisfaction with nursing care in drug users: the evolution of a scale. / Satisfação com os cuidados de enfermagem em usuários de drogas: evolução de uma escala.

OBJECTIVES: To identify the degree of satisfaction with nursing care, the significant variables and contribute to the evolution of the scale. METHODS: Descriptive, correlational, cross study, with 180 drug users. Data collected using the scale called "Satisfaction of users with the Nursing Health Center26", between February and December 2012 in three treatment units in the region of Lisbon and Vale do Tejo, Portugal. RESULTS: Users indicated 83.3% satisfaction. The dimension "Information individualization" was the most marked (98.5%). The more stability in the programs, abstinence from stimulants and benzodiazepines and more nursing interventions, the greater the satisfaction. Better working conditions, specializing in mental health, younger ages and less experience of nurses also contributed to satisfaction. Four items of the scale were extracted, assuming new SUCECS22 designation. CONCLUSIONS: Satisfaction was high, influenced by structural variables of users, nurses and working conditions. The scale has proved suitable for assessment in this population.
