Nursing care satisfaction from school-aged children's perspective: An integrative review.

AIM: This integrative review synthesizes the current knowledge on school-aged children's satisfaction with nursing care in acute care settings. BACKGROUND: Children identify aspects of nursing care that are not valued by their parents. This fact confirms the relevance of properly assessing children's satisfaction. DESIGN: An integrative review was performed. DATA SOURCES: A search for empirical studies was carried out in databases using the following search terms: satisfaction AND views OR opinions OR perceptions AND child AND nurs*. REVIEW METHODS: The search was limited to full-text studies involving children from 6 to 12 years old, written in English or Portuguese, and published between 1 January 2000 and 31 August 2016. Twenty qualitative studies and three quantitative studies were included for revision and were analysed by two independent reviewers. RESULTS: Three themes emerged: expectations of nursing care, experiences with care, and suggested strategies. Expectations and experiences allowed us to identify work within three main domains: personal domain (nurses' characteristics), professional domain (nurses' activities), and environmental domain (interaction between nurses and the environment). CONCLUSION: It is important to recognize children's rights to express their opinions about the nursing care they receive. Evaluation of both patients' and children's satisfaction should be systematically performed.

Construction and validation of a scale of assessment of self-care behaviours anticipatory to creation of arteriovenous fistula.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: We developed a scale to assess the self-care behaviours developed by patients with end-stage renal disease to preserve the vascular network prior to construction of arteriovenous fistula. BACKGROUND: The possibility of creation of an arteriovenous fistula depends on the existence of an arterial and venous network in good condition, namely the size and elasticity of the vessels. It is essential to teach the person to develop self-care behaviours for the preservation of the vascular network, regardless of the modality of dialysis selected. DESIGN: Methodological study. METHODS: The scale was developed based on clinical experience and research conducted by the researcher in the area of the vascular access for haemodialysis. The content of the scale was judged by two panels of experts for content validity. The revised version of the scale was administered to a convenience sample of 90 patients with end-stage renal disease. In the statistical analysis, we used the Cronbach's alpha, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and scree plot and the principal component analysis with varimax rotation. RESULTS: A principal component analysis confirmed the univariate structure of the scale (KMO = 0·759, Bartlett's sphericity test-approximate χ(2) 142·201, p < 0·000). Cronbach's α is 0·831, varying between 0·711-0·879. CONCLUSION: This scale revealed properties that allow its use to assess the patients self-care behaviours regarding the preservation of the vascular network. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: This scale can be used to evaluate educational programmes for the development of self-care behaviours in the preservation of vascular network. This scale can identify not only the patients that are able to take care of their vascular network but also the proportion of patients who are not able to do it, that need to be educated.

Interventions to promote self-care of people with arteriovenous fistula.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The literature shows many self-care behaviours related to people with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Our aim is to identify interventions within the 'teaching' that promote self-care (behaviour) with arteriovenous fistula (AVF). BACKGROUND: The development of self-care behaviours with the AVF allows the access to maintain the best possible conditions, because its state influences the efficacy of the dialysis treatment. However, few studies assess self-care behaviours that people with ESRD have with the AVF, as well as interventions that promote this self-care. DESIGN: Discursive paper. METHODS: Our research was conducted in MEDLINE, Health Nursing and Allied Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science and SCOPUS using three search expressions, between the period of 2000-2010. We selected studies that identified interventions that promote self-care with AVF. RESULTS: No study has shown in detail the interventions that aimed at promoting self-care behaviours with the AVF for patients with ESRD. We verify that the interventions that promote self-care are directed mostly to the moments after AVF construction. CONCLUSIONS: This paper reinforces the need to develop guidelines that provide guidance for self-care with the AVF to be developed by people with ESRD. We also found that self-care behaviours directed to the AVF are mostly associated with postconstruction of the access. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Based on these results, it is necessary to delineate clear intervention programmes and objectives, in order to assess self-care with the AVF by people with ESRD, as well as to develop guidelines that provide guidance for self-care for the person with an AVF.

Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Family Structural Dimensions: A Correlational Study.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in the families' social support network, employment status, and family income, which are the focus of attention of family health nurses. This study aims to describe the pandemic's repercussions in the areas of attention of the structural dimension of families according to the Dynamic Model of Family Assessment and Intervention, as perceived by Portuguese families, and to relate the changes in their employment status according to the variables of the structural dimension. A quantitative, descriptive, and correlational study was conducted using snowball sampling. A questionnaire of sociodemographic characterization and assessment of the family structural dimension according to the model's operational matrix was applied to 235 family members. Changes were found in their employment status; family income; intensity and frequency of contact with family, friends, and coworkers; frequency of contact with educational/health/religious institutions and community groups; cultural activities; and housing comfort conditions such as the use of heating/air conditioning, gas, and water consumption. Changes in employment status were related to family income, interaction with friends, frequency of cultural activities, and use of air conditioning and heating. Knowing the implications of the pandemic on the family's structural dimension results in a nursing intervention more focused on family needs.

[Attitudes of nurses towards families: validation of the scale Families' Importance in Nursing Care--Nurses Attitudes]. / Atitudes dos enfermeiros face à família: validação da escala Families' Importance in Nursing Care--Nurses Attitudes.

The attitudes of nurses towards families determine the care process. With this study, we aimed to obtain an instrument that would allow us to learn about this variable. Hence, our purpose was to perform the cross-cultural adaptation and evaluate the psychometric features of the Portuguese version of the instrument Families' Importance in Nursing Care - Nurses Attitudes (FINC-NA), which aims to evaluate the attitudes of nurses towards the importance of involving the patient's family in the nursing care. The method recommended by the literature was followed. The sample consisted of 136 nurses working in primary health care. The results obtained in the reliability tests showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha=0.87). The psychometric study permits us to state that the Portuguese version of the FINC-NA, which in Portuguese is referred to as A importância das famílias nos cuidados de enfermagem - atitudes dos enfermeiros (IFCE-AE), is a reliable and valid tool.

Self-perception of nurses' competence in family assessment and intervention.

OBJECTIVES: To describe nurses' self-perception of competence in family assessment and intervention. METHODS: A sample of 551 Portuguese primary care nurses was selected. A Likert-type questionnaire with 11 items corresponding to the areas of care proposed by the Dynamic Model of Family Assessment and Intervention (MDAIF) was administered. Each item consists of 7 optional responses; a score equal to or greater than 4 denotes competence. RESULTS: The nurses perceived themselves as competent in areas of care belonging to the development dimension of the MDAIF (parental role, adaptation to pregnancy, and family planning), as well as in the caregiver role (which belongs to the functional dimension). There was a progressive decline in self-perception of competence over the stages of the nursing process. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, crucial aspects related to nurses' self-perception of their competence in family assessment and intervention were observed, and need to be addressed in the training of nurses in all areas of care included in the Model. This should facilitate awareness of the competences needed to provide the best care for families.

Descriptive Study of Children's Nutritional Status and Identification of Community-Level Nursing Diagnoses in a School Community in Africa.

Effectively responding to children's nutritional status and eating behaviors in Mozambique requires a community-based care approach grounded in sound nursing research that is evidence-based. The Community Assessment, Intervention, and Empowerment Model (MAIEC) is a nursing theoretical model that is based upon clinical decision-making for community health nurses using communities as a unit of care. We used the MAIEC to identify a community-based nursing diagnosis to address children's nutritional status and eating behaviors in Mozambique. OBJECTIVES: (1) to conduct a descriptive study of children's nutritional status and eating behaviors in a school community in Mavalane, Mozambique, and (2) to identify a community-based nursing diagnosis using the MAIEC clinical decision-making matrix in the same school community. METHOD: a cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted to assess the nutritional status of children using anthropometric data, including brachial perimeter and the tricipital skinfold, and standard deviation for the relation of weight-height, in a sample of 227 children. To assess community management of the problem and identify a community-based nursing diagnosis, we surveyed 176 parents/guardians and 49 education professionals, using a questionnaire based on the MAIEC clinical decision matrix as a reference. RESULTS: malnutrition was identified in more than half of the children (51.3%). We also identified a community-based nursing diagnosis of impaired community management related to the promotion of child health and healthy eating evidenced by the lack of community leadership, participation, and processing among more than 70% of the community members (parents/guardians and education professionals). CONCLUSION: a nursing diagnosis and diagnostic criteria for nutritional status and community management were identified. The need to intervene using a multidisciplinary public health approach is imperative, with the school community as the unit of care. In addition, reliable anthropometric data were identified as important criteria to complement the nursing diagnosis and guide future public health interventions.

[From practice contexts towards the (co)construction of family nursing care models]. / Dos contextos da prática à (co)construção do modelo de cuidados de enfermagem de família.

As nurses face challenges in the development of care focused on the family as a context and unit of intervention, this research aimed to identify family intervention processes in the context of Primary Healthcare. This qualitative-based study adopted the investigation-action approach on a study plan's five-step path. By means of the comparative analysis of family care practices and conceptual models, the diagnosis results brought forth the need for change triggered by training processes. Having the Systemic Model, the Calgary Family Assessment Model, and the Calgary Family Intervention Model as references, the family nursing care model was (re)constructed and operationalized through the definition of attention and intervention areas. The (re) construction of the model from the needs identified by nurses and legitimated by their decision-making processes is the basis for family nursing focused discussions.

[Family, a care unit for its members: reflexive concerns]. / Família uma unidade de cuidado para seus membros: inquietações reflexivas.

This reflection has searched through a brief historic perspective, to understand the family as a care unit for its members. It has as objective, to awake a health professional's more conscientious new look for the care to elderly people in chronical condition, aiming to extend this look to the family as a unit care. This reflexion leans on Systemic Thought, that is, on the comprehension that the family isn't the sum of parts, but pressuposes the whole and the parts at the same time, thus it isn't possible to see the individual only without looking at the family as a whole in the dynamical relations and interactions between them. After the realized re-reading it became that it's necessary to rethink new strategies to approach the care to the bearer of a chronic disease such as diabetes, that embrace the whole family as focus attention of its members health, considering the complexity, intersubjectivity and instability of the new pos-modern science paradigm.

Immigrant women's perspective on prenatal and postpartum care: systematic review.

Female migration represents a major public health challenge faced today because its heterogeneity and gender issues placing immigrant women among the most vulnerable and at-risk group. To identify and analyze studies dealing with immigrant women's perspectives with prenatal and postpartum health care. A systematic literature review was conducted to assess studies published between 2000 and 2010 using Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, EMBASE, PubMed and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. The studies explored the relation between socio-demographic characteristics of immigrant women participants and its impact on the main factors identified as influencing prenatal and postpartum care, characterizing the manifested knowledge and behaviors expressed and describing the women's experience with health care services and the incidence of postpartum depression symptoms. The less favorable socio-economic status of migrant women participants seems to have been influential in the quality of health service in prenatal and postpartum periods. The language barrier was the main negative factor interfering with communication between women and health professionals, followed by health care professionals' lack of cultural sensitivity, leading to women's reluctance in using health services.

Significados atribuídos pelas mulheres migrantes aos cuidados de enfermagem durante a vigilância da gravidez ao pós-parto / Meanings attributed by migrant women to nursing care during pregnancy to postpartum

Maternal health care for migrant women poses new challenges to countries in the WHO European Region. Migrant women tend to have worse perinatal health outcomes as a result of migration conditions, socioeconomic needs, health status, language or health literacy. These women may manifest different representations and cultural practices associated with motherhood that need to be understood and respected during nursing care in the host country. The aim was to explore the meanings attributed by migrant women to nursing interventions implemented during prenatal care to postpartum period. Qualitative study using Grounded Theory. Thirty interviews were conducted with pregnant migrant women and mothers from various countries, between February 2015 to December 2016, in Primary Health Care. Emerging coding of data determined the central category BUILDING TRUST, representative of the use of professional skills and competencies to help migrant women gain confidence and expose emotions, insecurities and needs: "Feeling recognized" highlights sensitivity to cultural differences and transition experiences; "Explaining with simplicity" by the clarity, simplicity, practical and grounded meaning, contributing to the acquisition of skills in the exercise of motherhood and a quality of intercultural communication; "Getting answer", nurse acting in accordance with the needs exposed by the Other, promoting autonomy, confidence and satisfaction. The development of a trusting relationship has emerged as an essential component of maternal care. The study results may contribute to knowledge and quality of care indicators by showing the migrant client's perspective on the care received

A perceção dos enfermeirosrelativamente ao seu grau de competência para a prestação de cuidados de enfermagem às famílias reconstruídas, com filhos adolescentes, na área de atenção satisfação conjugal / The perception of nurses regarding their degree of competence to provide nursing care to reconstituted families, with adolescent children, in the area of attention 'conjugal satisfaction'

The Perception of Nurses Regarding their Degree of Competence to Provide Nursing Care to Reconstituted Families, with Adolescent Children, in the Area of Attention "Conjugal Satisfaction". Abstract: The family has undergone numerous modifications and adaptations, with the formation of new family identities, which require nurses to identify possible problems. The aim of this study was to analyse nurses' perceptions regarding the degree of competence to provide nursing care to reconstituted families, with adolescent children, in the area of attention marital satisfaction. Descriptive and exploratory study, of a quantitative nature. 25 primary care nurses participated. An online questionnaire was used, Lickert type, where the participants were asked to indicate their perception about the level of competence to provide nursing care in these families, in the domain of conjugal satisfaction. Of the 25 nurses, 15 considered themselves competent to carry out the identification of needs, formulate diagnoses and plan nursing interventions, 8 are between incompetent and poorly qualified; in the implementation of interventions, 14 considered competent and 9 incompe-tent or have little competence; regarding to the evaluation of the interventions, 13 consider themselves competent and 10, incompetent or not competent. Thus, 35% of the sample considered not to have the necessary skills to provide care in the context of marital satisfaction, which indicates the need for greater investment in the development of formative processes in the context of marital satisfaction, leading to the improvement of the quality of care and the development of research to identify health gains arising from nurses' interventions

O processo de transiçãoda integração do recém-nascido na família alargada: confrontando diferentes perspetivas / The process of transition of the extended family in the newborn's integration: comparing different perspectives

Understanding the process of transition of the extended family in the newborn's inte-gration was the aim of this study.It is a qualitative study using the Grounded Theory. It is based on 14 families of one of the autonomous regions of Portugal and the semi-structured interview was used for data collection. The Causal Condition - Comparing Different Perspectives emerged from the analysis. It is characterized as the beginning of the newborn's integration in the family process trajectory, where the extended family hasn't integrated the changes yet and shows some difficulties in its operationalization. In the newborn's integration in the extended family process: Comparing Different Perspectives represents the confrontations/conflicts inside the cohabiting family, due to the existence of different perspectives in raising the new member. Thus, the study enabled us to understand not only the transitional process dynamics, as it is a reflection point and a raising of awareness to the change/innovation of the practice and formation contexts, but also how the extended family deals with the beginning of the experience as far as the newborn's integration in the family transition is concerned

Etiologia e tratamento de queimaduras provocadas por agente químico: scoping review / Etiology and treatment of chemical burns: scoping review

It is estimated that over 60,000 different chemicals might be used in industry, agriculture and the home environment. Chemical burns account for only 3% of the total, yet account for approximately 30% of burn deaths. The aim of the study was to identify the latest evidence on treatment of skin burns caused by chemical agents.A scope review was chosen, and articles published between 2013 and 2019 were selected. The research was conducted with the following descriptors: chemical burn and skin burn or skin injury or burn care or treatment burn and therap. CINAHL, MEDLINE, MedicLatina and Cochrane Database were searched. The survey was conducted in January and February 2019. Eleven articles were selected, such as case studies, retrospective and prospective studies. The circumstances in which the burns occurred were workplace accidents, home accidents and personal attacks. The chemical agents used were acid and base type. The burned body area was between 30% and 0.5%. The most severe outcome was three deaths. The first-line treatment approach to the lesion was prolonged lavage or H2O. Continuity of treatment integrates systemic, topical pharmacological measures, pain control, surgical and non-pharmacological therapies.The etiology of skin burns by chemist is multiple. The treatment integrates particularities that distinguish it from other burn types, and an appropriate approach has significant results in survival and recovery of the person with chemical burn

Perspetiva da famíliasobre as implicações do uso de ventilação mecânica não-invasiva em casa / Family perspective about home non-invasive ventilation implications

Several studies have demonstrated that non-invasive home mechanical ventilation is a therapy that brings benefits to people with type 2 respiratory failure and their family. The objective of this study is to explore the implications of non-invasive home ventilation for the user's family. An exploratory desc riptive study with quantitative qualitative nature in 10 families using noninvasive home ventilation. Mainly, they are nuclear families (8) belonging to the middle class (7). The data were collected through a semi-structured interview, with a data collection instrument that integrated sociodemographic issues and two open questions related to the participants' perspective on the implications of non-invasive home ventilation for the family. They were processed with descriptive statistics and content analysis. From the narratives, three categories emerged: maladjustment, benefits and family process. They are divided into eight subcategories that describe the issues related to the use of non-invasive home ventilation: discomfort, sleep impairment, silence, crisis reduction, role interaction, dynamic relationship, coping and communication. The results demonstrate that non-invasive mechanical ventilation has implications for the users ́ families, can be a stress cause, bring benefits and cause changes in the family process

A perceção dos enfermeiros face à identificação da necessidade de cuidados de enfermagem nas famílias reconstruídas, com filhos adolescentes / The perception of nurses to identify the need for nursing care in reconstituted families with adolescent children

The Perception of Nurses to Identify the Need for Nursing Care in Reconstituted Families with Adolescent Children.Abstract: Family health nursing aims to promote the empowerment of families in the development of competencies, fostering a healthy living of their processes of change, throughout the life cycle. With respect to these families, dysfunctions can occur due to family coexistence and overlapping of parental roles over the adolescent. In this context the MDAIF arises, aiming to guide the action of nurses, proposing diagnoses and interventions, from the needs identified. The aim was to analyze nurses' perception of the need for nursing care in reconstituted families with adolescent children. Descriptive and exploratory study, of a qualitative nature, whose participants were nurses who perform functions in primary health care. A questionnaire was used, applied in 2018, with an open question in which the participants were asked to describe strategies for identifying nursing care needs in rebuilt families with adolescent children. For data analysis, content analysis was used, and three categories emerged: "Family Assessment", focused essentially on observation, interviewing and data collection; the "Context of the evaluation", predominating the functional unit, within the scope of the nursing consultation; and "Referential", the MDAIF being the theoretical and operative support for clinical decision making. In the identification of nursing care needs, the family assessment stands out as a methodology valued by nurses. These results may contribute to the development of formative processes, within the framework of family assessment, leading to the improvement of the quality of care

Práticas educativas em enfermagem de saúde familiar: contributo para o desenvolvimento das competências clínicas dos enfermeiros / Educational practices in family health nursing: contribution to the development of nurses' clinical skills

Introduction: Internationally, research on educational practices in family health nursing has been limited, especially on their impact on clinical practice. This research is part of the project on the Dynamic Model of Family Assessment and Intervention integrated in the Center for Health Technology and Services Research. Objective: to describe the perception of family nurses about the contribution of teaching-learning strategies in the development of skills in family health nursing. Methods: quantitative, exploratory-descriptive study. A questionnaire was designed to evaluate the perception of the contribution of teaching-learning strategies based on a Portuguese classification. Perception was assessed on a Likert scale. The convenience sample consisted of 112 nurses who trained on the Dynamic Model of Family Assessment and Intervention after informed consent. Descriptive statistics was used for data treatment and analysis. Results and discussion: On average, mostly all strategies were perceived as having a moderate to high contribution (3.58, SD: 0.6), with a slight emphasis on the "reality simulation" teaching-learning strategies group. The "Case Study" stood out as the strategy perceived with the highest average contribution. It is suggestive that there is greater importance given to experiential learning as a promoter of knowledge and competence development, based on reflexivity about action. Conclusion: The identification of the contribution of the teaching-learning strategies is relevant for the improvement of the training design on the nursing model, as an intentional action promoting a competent acting knowledge, aiming the articulation of the theory with the clinical practice

A mudança nas perceções dos enfermeiros de família sobre os pressupostos da intervenção familiar após o processo formativo MDAIF / Change in perceptions of family nurses about the assumptions of family intervention after the MDAIF formative process

The Dynamic Model of Family Assessment and Intervention (MDAIF) aims to constitute itself as a reference that promotes clinical decision processes based on systemic proposition. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in nurses' perceptions about the assumptions of family intervention after the training process centered on this referential. This is an exploratory and quantitative study with a sample of 553 family nurses who participated in the "MDAIF" training, organized by the Northern Regional Health Administration, until 2017. A 10 item Likert scale was used with responses between 1 "totally incompetent and 7" "fully compe-tent", based on MDAIF and applied in the pre and post training periods. T-test was performed for paired samples using SPSS version 23.0. There were very significant statistical changes regarding the perception of competence in all items evaluated, and participants after training perceived with higher competence on the assumptions of family intervention. The results confirm the importance of formative processes based on family health nursing theoretical references. May contribute to the development of family-centered practices as a client, as well as to investigate the health returns resulted from them
