Surveying people with spinal cord injuries in Brazil to ascertain research priorities.

Scientists are concerned that the research they conduct accurately portrays the needs of people living with spinal cord injuries (SCI). As such, this study set out to investigate the main problems faced by people with SCI and their expectations for research. This quantitative, exploratory, analytical, and cross-sectional study was carried out online, with a non-probabilistic sample of 618 Brazilian adults with SCI who had registered voluntarily to participate in the research of the Neurorehab group. The virtual questionnaire consisted of 22 questions based on ISCOS Data Sets. The majority (68.9%) of participants were male, with higher education or a post-graduate qualification (49.5%). Most injuries had experienced traumatic injuries (78.5%) and 58.7% were paraplegic. The mean age was 38.04 years (SD = 9.85). The main difficulties faced after SCI were locomotion/accessibility (70.9%), neurogenic bladder (68.8%), neurogenic bowel (48.2%), and sexuality (36.1%). The highest demand was for experimental studies on stem cells (22.5%), rehabilitation (14.2%), and cures (13.9%). Most (84.3%) of those who reported sexuality problems after SCI were men (p = 0.013). The findings obtained empower people with SCI by enabling them to influence the agenda of scientific research based on their expectations and difficulties. This survey will also aid organizations to engage stakeholders to implement a comprehensive SCI management program.

Objective: to develop a matrix of collective competences of nurses in perioperative care. Method: in this qualitative study, 43 perioperative nurses working in five hospital institutions participated in focus groups, from January to April 2018. The data were interpreted by inductive thematic analysis. The study was approved by the research ethics committee of the proponent institution. Results: the collective competences identified included: knowledge of the specifics of care and the perioperative unit; management of material and financial resources; and people management and teamwork. The competency matrix was built up from the focus group discussions, plus the literature, which included the meanings and behaviors associated with each competency. Conclusions: a matrix of nurses' collective competences should direct the human talents available in the organization towards positions and functions by identifying these professionals' existing competences and gaps in their training to provide perioperative care.

Objetivo: desarrollar una matriz de competencias colectivas de enfermeros en cuidados perioperatorios. Método: estudio cualitativo, con participación de 43 enfermeros perioperatorios que laboran en cinco instituciones hospitalarias. Se utilizó la técnica del grupo focal, de enero a abril de 2018 y, para la interpretación de los datos, análisis temático inductivo. Estudio aprobado por el Comité de Ética de la institución proponente. Resultados: se identificaron competencias colectivas, como: conocimiento de las especificidades del cuidado y de la unidad perioperatoria; gestión de recursos materiales y financieros; gestión de personas y trabajo en equipo. La matriz de competencias se construyó a partir de las discusiones que surgieron de los grupos focales, además de la literatura, incluyendo sus significados y comportamientos asociados a cada competencia. Conclusiones: una matriz de competencias colectivas de los enfermeros debe orientar los talentos humanos disponibles en la organización para puestos/funciones, permitiendo el reconocimiento de competencias existentes e identificando brechas en la formación de este profesional para su trabajo en cuidados perioperatorios.
