Multi-part quality evaluation of a customized mobile application for monitoring elderly patients with functional loss and helping caregivers.

BACKGROUND: The challenges faced by caregivers of the elderly with chronic diseases are always complex. In this context, mobile technologies have been used with promising results, but often have restricted functionality, or are either difficult to use or do not provide the necessary support to the caregiver - which leads to declining usage over time. Therefore, we developed the Mobile System for Elderly Monitoring, SMAI. The purpose of SMAI is to monitor patients with functional loss and to improve the support to caregivers' communication with the health team professionals, informing them the data related to the patients' daily lives, while providing the health team better tools. METHOD: SMAI is composed of mobile applications developed for the caregivers and health team, and a web portal that supports management activities. Caregivers use an Android application to send information and receive care advice and feedback from the health team. The system was constructed using a refinement stage approach. Each stage involved caregivers and the health team in prototype release-test-assessment-refinement cycles. SMAI was evaluated during 18 months. We studied which features were being used the most, and their use pattern throughout the week. We also studied the users' qualitative perceptions. Finally, the caregiver application was also evaluated for usability. RESULTS: SMAI functionalities showed to be very useful or useful to caregivers and health professionals. The Focus Group interviews reveled that among caregivers the use of the application gave them the sensation of being connected to the health team. The usability evaluation identified that the interface design and associated tasks were easy to use and the System Usability Scale, SUS, presented very good results. CONCLUSIONS: In general, the use of SMAI represented a positive change for the family caregivers and for the NAI health team. The overall qualitative results indicate that the approach used to construct the system was appropriate to achieve the objectives.

"Readiness for enhanced healthy aging" nursing diagnosis: Content validation by experts.

PURPOSE: To validate the content nursing diagnosis "Readiness for enhanced healthy aging." METHODS: Descriptive, methodological study of diagnostic content validation, using the Fehring model. The sample consisted of 74 nurses experts in gerontology, with knowledge in NANDA-I nursing diagnoses. FINDINGS: The title, one definition, and the three defining characteristics proposed for the diagnosis were validated, as well as the suggestion of domain and location class in NANDA-I Taxonomy II. The Diagnostic Content Validity Index was 0.81. CONCLUSIONS: The validation of the diagnostic content by experts was fundamental for adequacy of the elements of the proposed diagnosis, which supported the elaboration of the diagnostic framework for submission to the NANDA-I taxonomy. IMPLICATION FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The diagnosis "Readiness for enhanced healthy aging" can help nurses understand the phenomenon of "Healthy Aging" and, consequently, will support the planning and implementation of interventions aimed at promoting the health of the elderly population and those in the aging process. In addition, this diagnosis will offer nurses the opportunity to rethink health promotion strategies in their care plan, making a commitment to the population regarding the promotion of healthy aging, as recommended by the Word Health Organization.

Healthy aging promotion model referenced in Nola Pender's theory.

OBJECTIVES: to model the process of promoting healthy aging from the conceptual analysis proposed by Walker and Avant and Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model. METHODS: this is a descriptive and theoretical study, with a qualitative approach. Elements resulting from conceptual analysis were used to model a healthy aging promotion process based on Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model. RESULTS: in conceptual analysis, seven antecedents, seven attributes and three consequences of the concept of healthy aging were identified. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the proposed Health Promotion Model represents a structure that in an instrumental way can guide the nursing process application in gerontological clinical practice. This can guide nurses in identifying diagnoses, establishing outcomes and implementing interventions aimed at promoting the elderly's health.

Proposal of Nursing Diagnosis "Readiness for Enhanced Healthy Aging": A Concept Analysis.

PURPOSE: To analyze the concept of healthy aging and propose the development of a nursing diagnosis METHODS: Concept analysis using the method proposed by Walker and Avant FINDINGS: Four bibliographic databases were searched, and 36 articles were included in the analysis. Seven antecedents, seven attributes, and three consequences for "healthy aging" were identified. CONCLUSIONS: The concept analysis supported the development of the new nursing diagnosis "readiness for enhanced healthy aging," which can assist nurses in implementing actions aimed at promoting the health of older adults. IMPLICATION FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The establishment of a nursing diagnosis may provide nurses the opportunity to implement interventions that promote the maintenance of functional and cognitive capacity, psychological and spiritual well-being, and social engagement, aiming at healthy aging with high quality of life.

[Nursing care for the aged with dementia and with behavioral symptoms]. / Cuidados de enfermagem ao idoso com Demência que apresenta sintomas comportamentais.

In the course of dementia, behavioral disorders are highly prevalent and are frequently associated with the stress of caregivers. This study aims to identify in scientific literature the types of dementia associated with behavioral and psychological symptoms (BPSD); describe the non-pharmacological management of these alterations, and describe the nursing interventions in this context. The literature in the field of geriatrics and nursing was searched. It became evident that the nursing care provided to the demented elderly goes farther beyond the basic care and depends on the active participation of the family. The identification of strategies to minimize and manage the behavioral symptoms is an important contribution that nursing can give to geriatrics.

Value-based medicine and palliative care: how do they converge?

Introduction: Sick persons need doctors who understand their pathology, know how to treat their problem, and accompany them through their illness. This study aimed to synthesize the state of knowledge regarding the concept of value-based medicine (VBM) through an integrative literature review, and establish how VBM can be applied in palliative care. Areas covered: An integrative review was conducted with the keywords 'value-based medicine,' 'patient-centered care,' and 'medicina baseada em valor' (Portuguese for VBM) in PubMed and Virtual Health Library, identifying 17,189 articles in total. Of these, 10 articles met the eligibility criteria. VBM combines the highest level of technical-scientific data with patients' values. It is defined as the combination of evidence-based medicine, patient-centered care, and cost-effectiveness. Patients' values are a set of preferences, concerns, and expectations that contribute toward accommodating their needs in the treatment clinic. Expert opinion: Like VBM, palliative care focuses on patients' values and quality of life, respecting natural limits. The early development of a care plan with active participation of the patient in the face of life-threatening diseases should be encouraged and can bring peace and comfort in a person's final moments.

Hospitalization of the aged due to stroke: An ecological perspective.

Contextual variables have been associated with the incidence of stroke, but their association with hospitalization of older persons remains unclear. This study evaluated the association between social context variables and hospitalization of 60 years old and older patients due to stroke in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. An ecological cross-sectional study was conducted, with secondary data from the Brazilian Hospital Information System from 2006 to 2014. Hospitalization rates were calculated and categorized by tertiles. For subsequent analyzes, the polar extremes method was used to select the groups with extremes values. After that, Student t or Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare the contextual variables and the hospitalization rates clusters. Then, a Binary Logistic Regression analysis was used to assess the association between hospitalization rates clusters and the contextual variables. The total number of hospitalizations was 82 796; the hospitalization rate varied in extremes groups from the lowest (3.49) to the highest (11.95) (p<0.001). The highest rates group was positively associated with the proportion of elderly (p<0.001), the illiteracy rate of the aged (p = 0.01), primary care coverage (p<0.001) and ambulatory care for hypertension and diabetes, while the income ratio showed negative association with the highest rates of hospitalization (p = 0.01). In the multivariate analysis, only the proportion of elderly (OR = 1.55; 95%CI 1.07-2.25), primary care coverage (OR = 1.05; 95%CI 1.01-1.11) and income ratio (OR = 0.82; 95%CI 0.67-0.99) maintained the association. In conclusion, contextual variables in the three dimensions studied were associated with the rate of hospitalization of aged due to stroke in the municipalities in Rio de Janeiro State. Transitional care and other improvements in both the health care and social services are demanded.

[Demographic characteristics of elderly people provided with supplementary health care]. / Características demográficas dos idosos vinculados ao sistema suplementar de saúde no Brasil.

OBJECTIVE: To assess health coverage of elderly people receiving supplementary health care and these users' sociodemographic characteristics. METHODS: Descriptive study of elderly population living in Brazil and in the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in 2006. Data was collected from the National Supplementary Care Beneficiary Information System and the National Household Sample Survey. The following variables were studied: gender, age, distribution by federal unit, category of health insurance, type of contract and plan segmentation. RESULTS: Higher coverage of the general population was seen in the age groups 70-79 years (26.7% and 80 years and more (30.2%). Of those aged 80 years and more, 33% had private health plans among women and 25.9% among men. Nearly 80% of health insurance beneficiaries were living in southeastern and southern Brazil, of which 55% were in Rio-São Paulo axis. Health maintenance organizations covered a higher proportion of younger compared to elderly population (39% and 34.5%, respectively) and self-management care plans covered a significantly higher proportion of elderly compared to younger population in Brazil (22.8% and 13.8%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Elderly health care coverage was significantly high and age groups over 70 years showed the highest coverage rates among the Brazilian population, especially among women.

Taking the responsibility in dementia care: A concept analysis about facticity.

AIM: The aim of this study is to develop a comprehensive definition of facticity, applicable to dementia nursing. METHODS: Walker and Avant's Concept Analysis was used to analyse facticity. Published literature found in PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and Scopus using the search term facticity and nursing, as well as books and dictionaries and empirical data was used to clarify the concept. RESULTS: Facticity in nursing dementia care is being in reality taking on responsibility to truth. Antecedents of facticity include persons occupied with caring a demented older person including full-time duties, often accompanied by resistive behaviours. They are overloaded both physically and psychologically. Being present and feeling compassion and nurturing the relationship with the demented older persons and in that way strengthen the caregiving process. CONCLUSION: Nurses need to be aware that all human beings are living with facticity.

Identifying the loss of functional independence of older people residing in the community: Validation of the PRISMA-7 instrument in Brazil.

The identification of the older people who are functionally dependant is essential for planning interventions with emphasis on secondary and tertiary prevention. Therefore, a simplified tool, able to identify these individuals for a more comprehensive evaluation, is required. However, the use of a measuring tool in a different socio-cultural context requires prior adaptation. This article aims to verify the psychometric properties of the PRISMA-7 in Brazilian context. This instrument was previously shown as able to identify older persons living in the community who have risk of functional loss in a Canadian study. In a sample of 1748 older persons, the internal consistency assessed by Cronbach's alpha showed a borderline value credited to the reduced number of questionnaire items. Factor analysis identified two well correlated factors, except for items 2 and 6. For criterion validity the SMAF scale (French acronym, Functional Autonomy Measurement System) was used as the gold standard. The analysis of the ROC curve indicated a sensitivity of 74.4% and specificity of 87.4% for the cut-off point of 4, while the Canadian version had a cut-off point of 3 for disability detection. Inter and intra-observer reliability, investigated by the Kappa Cohen were high and statistically significant. In conclusion, the results suggest that the validation process was adequate, and recommend the Brazilian version of PRISMA-7, to track older people with functional loss in the community.

Family caregiver of older adults and Cultural Care in Nursing care.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the experiences of family caregivers of dependent older adults, who show performance overload and emotional distress, using the Theory of Culture Care. METHOD: Qualitative study with nine caregivers of home care dependent older adults, based on Grounded Theory. RESULTS: The findings allowed the identification of potentialities and frailties in the context of family home care and subsidizing the construction of a theoretical scheme resulting from the analysis of possibilities of the nursing care practice according to the culture, through the three modes of action: maintenance, adjustment and repatterning of cultural care. Final considerations: Respecting the cultural values and family beliefs, the nurse can help to institute mutually established changes, promoting a better quality in the nursing care relationship and a relief to the strain of the role of the caregiver.

Social Context and Geographic Space: An Ecological Study about Hospitalizations of Older Persons.

OBJECTIVES: To identify the diseases that lead older persons to hospitalizations in the public health system in the state of Rio de Janeiro and, through a study of spatial distribution among hospitalization rates of the municipal districts, discuss the social contexts involved in the hospitalization of the elderly. METHODS: An ecological cross-sectional study using secondary data from the Brazilian hospital information system from the period 2009 to 2015 was performed. The hospitalization rates of people 60 years and older, residing in 92 municipalities in the state of Rio de Janeiro, were calculated. The municipal districts were grouped according to the similarity of such rates using K-means nonhierarchical clustering analysis. RESULTS: Diseases of the circulatory and respiratory systems, endocrine disorders, illnesses of the genitourinary system or the digestive tract, and certain infectious and parasitic diseases were the most discriminatory diseases for cluster composition. The first cluster, the municipal districts with the lowest hospitalization rates, which were more urbanized and had greater access to social and health services, was named Access and Inclusion. The second group, which had the highest hospitalization rates, was named Isolation and Vulnerability. CONCLUSIONS: The primary care-sensitive conditions are the main causes of hospitalization of the elderly in the state, with greater intensity in the municipalities that are geographically rugged and remote. These outcomes reinforce the importance of valuing geographical knowledge, the guidelines of the unified health system concerning equity and regionalization, and the determinants and social determinations involved in the process of health and disease.

The association between nursing diagnoses and the occurrence of falls observed among elderly individuals assisted in an outpatient facility.

This is an exploratory descriptive study with a quantitative approach, in which variables associated to the occurrence of falls observed in elderly assisted in an outpatient clinic are delineated from the nursing diagnoses. Data from the files of 490 elderly with age between 60 and 98 years old were investigated. Univariate and bivariate statistical analyses were performed (p <0,05). The dependent variable, occurrence of falls, was prevalent in 30% of the cases and occurred with more frequency among females. A positive and independent association with the following diagnoses of Nursing was found: loss of balance (p <0,001), high blood pressure (p <0,001), weakness (p <0,025) and urinary incontinence (p <0,025). No association was observed for: altered vision, altered audition, joints pain, altered march and postural hypotension. The study shows the importance of working issues related to the variables that presented positive association with the occurrence of falls in the nursing practice.

A importância da ciência normal para a consolidação do processo de enfermagem / The importance of normal science for the consolidation of the nursing process / La importancia de la ciencia normal para la consolidación del proceso de enfermería

Objetivo: propiciar uma reflexão histórica e teórica acerca das contribuições da ciência normal para o desenvolvimento do processo de enfermagem. Método: estudo reflexivo teórico utilizando os pressupostos de Thomas Kuhn acerca das contribuições da ciência normal para a consolidação do processo de enfermagem. Resultados: ao longo da evolução histórica da enfermagem a filosofia de Florence Nightingale foi a primeira revolução científica em enfermagem, na qual constituiu a enfermagem moderna. Em meados da década de 50, foi proposto o paradigma do processo de enfermagem, no qual foi incorporado nas pesquisas elementos que seriam legitimamente inerentes à prática de enfermagem (diagnósticos, resultados e intervenções de enfermagem). Considerações finais: na atualidade o processo de enfermagem é aceito pela comunidade da área, configurando-se como a rota da ciência normal em enfermagem

Objective: to provide a historical and theoretical reflection on the contributions of normal science to the development of the nursing process. Method: reflective theoretical study using the assumptions of Thomas Kuhn about the contributions of normal science to the consolidation of the nursing process. Results: throughout the historical evolution of nursing, Florence Nightingale's philosophy was the first scientific revolution in nursing, in which modern nursing was constituted. In the mid-1950s, the nursing process paradigm was proposed, in which elements that would be legitimately inherent in nursing practice (nursing diagnoses, results and interventions) were incorporated into the research. Final considerations: currently, the nursing process is accepted by the community in the area, configuring itself as the route of normal science in nursing

Objetivo: Compreender as relações da enfermagem no cuidado ao idoso na Atenção Primária na perspectiva do referencial teórico-filosófico de Foucault. Método: Estudo qualitativo de análise de conteúdo. Os sujeitos foram os enfermeiros da Atenção Primária de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Para coleta de dados realizou-se cinco grupos focais com 8 participantes. Resultados: Emergiram as categorias: o suporte adequado para o cuidado ao idoso, o enfermeiro define a trajetória de cuidados ao idoso, as relações de poder-saber no atendimento ao idoso. Conclusão: O cuidado ao idoso a partir da Atenção Primária implica na compreensão das relações da enfermagem permeadas por poderes e saberes. Esta compreensão é importante para o desenvolvimento de interações qualificadas que potencializem as práticas de enfermagem como ações sociais consolidadas na rede de atenção para a saúde da pessoa idosa.

Objective: To understand the nursing relationships in the care of the elderly in Primary Care from the perspective of Foucault's theoretical-philosophical framework. Method: Qualitative study of content analysis. The subjects were Primary Care nurses from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. For data collection, five focus groups were held with 8 participants. Results: The following categories emerged: adequate support for the care of the elderly, the nurse defines the trajectory of care for the elderly, the power-knowledge relationships in the care of the elderly. Conclusion: Elderly care based on Primary Care implies the understanding of nursing relationships permeated by powers and knowledge. This understanding is important for the development of qualified interactions that enhance nursing practices as social actions consolidated in the health care network for the elderly.

Healthy aging promotion model referenced in Nola Pender's theory / Modelo de promoción de envejecimiento saludable referido en la teoría Nola Pender / Modelo de promoção de envelhecimento saudável referenciado na teoria de Nola Pender

ABSTRACT Objectives: to model the process of promoting healthy aging from the conceptual analysis proposed by Walker and Avant and Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model. Methods: this is a descriptive and theoretical study, with a qualitative approach. Elements resulting from conceptual analysis were used to model a healthy aging promotion process based on Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model. Results: in conceptual analysis, seven antecedents, seven attributes and three consequences of the concept of healthy aging were identified. Final Considerations: the proposed Health Promotion Model represents a structure that in an instrumental way can guide the nursing process application in gerontological clinical practice. This can guide nurses in identifying diagnoses, establishing outcomes and implementing interventions aimed at promoting the elderly's health.
