Effect of listening to music on anxiety, pain, and cardiorespiratory parameters in cardiac surgery: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial.

BACKGROUND: Preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain are frequent in cardiac surgeries and constitute important stressors for patients, which can cause several complications. One strategy that aims to alleviate these phenomena is listening to music as a non-pharmacological intervention. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of listening to music on preoperative state-anxiety, postoperative pain, at rest and when instructed to cough, and cardiorespiratory parameters in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS: A randomized, parallel, simple masking clinical trial will be conducted with patients 18 years of age or older who have undergone elective cardiac surgery by sternotomy, who agree to participate in the research and sign a free and informed consent form. Study participants will be randomly divided, in a 1:1 ratio, to one of the two groups: experimental (subjected to listening to music for 20 min in the pre- and postoperative period) or control (standard care in the pre- and postoperative period), using a randomization scheme generated by the Randomization.com website. The sample size calculation was obtained after conducting a pilot study. DISCUSSION: The results of the study may contribute to the implementation of non-pharmacological interventions in health services, highlighting the protocols for listening to music, to minimize anxiety and pain in cardiac surgery.

Associations between surgical wound infectious and clinical profile in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

BACKGROUND: Infections are surgical severe adverse events that pose risks to patient safety in health services, in addition to increasing costs and morbidity and mortality. AIM: This study aims to describe the infectious profile of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and associate comorbidities and lifestyle habits with surgical wound infection. DESIGN: Observational and retrospective study. METHODS: The study included 453 patients undergoing cardiac surgery in a public teaching hospital from January 2014 to January 2019. Data were collected from the clinical records through an instrument composed of variables clinical characteristics, comorbidities, life habits, infection rates, infectious agents, clinical management and surgical wound features. Simple frequency, measures of central tendency and variability, Chi-Square test and logistic regression were used for data analysis. RESULTS: There was a predominance of hypertensive patients (367; 81%), smokers (107; 23.6%), alcoholics (76; 16.8%). Surgical wound infection affected 86 (19%) patients. Besides, most patients were under antibiotic therapy (310; 68.4%). Klebsiella pneumoniae; Staphylococcus epidermides and Staphylococcus aureus were the most frequent pathogens. Diabetes Mellitus, nephropathy and age were statistically significant (P<0.05) for higher risk of surgical wound infection. CONCLUSION: Chronic diseases and lifestyle habits were related to postoperative infection. More research is needed, focusing on risk factors for the development of surgical wound infection.

Effectiveness of the serious game for learning in nursing: systematic review.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the effectiveness of the serious game in improving learning outcomes compared to the different teaching strategies used in the education of nursing students. METHOD: Systematic review, conducted from July 2019 to May 2020, at PubMed®, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science and LILACS. Studies of experimental and quasi-experimental design were included, with no delimitation of time frame, aimed at nursing students, who approached the use of the serious game as the main teaching strategy compared with other pedagogical methods. RESULTS: Six articles were included, which compared the serious game with traditional and active teaching and learning strategies (expository class, text reading and simulation). The studies were considered of moderate quality, with an average score of 12.83. Nursing students submitted to the serious game showed better learning results. CONCLUSION: The serious game proved to be more effective for learning in nursing when compared to other teaching strategies.

Barriers to research utilization influencing patient safety climate: A cross-sectional study.

AIMS: This study aimed to investigate the influence of barriers to the use of research results in the practice of nurses on patient safety perception. BACKGROUND: The use of research results in clinical practice promotes safe care, increases quality and reduces the possibility of adverse events. DESIGN: This is a cross-sectional study. METHODS: The sample consisted of 207 nurses from three public university hospitals in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil from March 2017 to November 2018. They answered a questionnaire with professional characteristics, The Barriers Scale and Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. Descriptive analysis, Student's t test, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis. RESULTS: The findings showed most nurses had unfavourable competencies for implementing research results in practice. As barrier scores for the use of research results in practice increase, safety climate scores decrease. Taking a training course on the use of research results in clinical practice and organization characteristics, limitations of the setting were statistically significant, constituting factors that influence the perception of the safety climate. CONCLUSION: Investments in education are needed for health professionals to be aware of evidence-based practice and how to use evidence to impact decision-making outcomes, strengthening safety outcomes in health services.

Factors associated with skin and mucosal lesions caused by medical devices in newborns: Observational study.

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: To identify the occurrence of skin and mucosal lesions and factors related to the use of medical devices in newborns admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit. BACKGROUND: The use of medical devices increases the risk of injury in newborns due to the immaturity and fragility of their skin and mucosa. DESIGN: Observational and longitudinal study. METHODS: The study included 85 newborns admitted to in a neonatal intensive care unit from a public teaching hospital. Data were collected from February-August 2018. For the evaluation, the Neonatal Skin Condition Score was used, as well as an instrument covering sociodemographic and clinical variables, medical devices in use and materials for skin protection. The study followed the recommendations STROBE. Simple frequency, measures of central tendency and variability, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis were used for data analysis. RESULTS: Of the n = 85 newborns evaluated, n = 62 (72.9%) presented skin or mucosal lesions caused using medical devices, excoriations being the most observed n = 55 (64.7%), and n = 32 (37.6%) had 1-3 lesions. As the number of devices increased, so did the number of lesions. On the other hand, the age of the newborn and the number of lesions were inversely proportional. CONCLUSION: Most participants, n = 62 (72.9%), had skin or mucosal lesions associated with medical devices. The number of medical devices used and the age of the newborn were predictors for this occurrence. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The results show that it is fundamental that nurses know the factors that can interfere in the skin and mucosa conditions and, thus, promote the implementation of injury prevention measures in newborns, supporting safe and quality care.

Bioimpedance as an indicator in the distribution of interface pressure in vulnerable regions for pressure ulcers: A preliminary study.

AIM: To examine the influence of body mass index, bioimpedance, and skin folds on the distribution of body interface pressure in regions with the potential to develop pressure ulcers in contact with support surfaces. DESIGN: This was a descriptive and analytical study. METHODS: Twenty healthy volunteer adults were investigated in April 2017. Body mass index, skin folds, waist circumference, bioimpedance, and interface pressure on bony prominences were investigated. Descriptive statistics and correlations were analysed. RESULTS: Peak pressures in the subscapular region presented moderate and significant correlations with body mass index, waist circumference, total and extracellular body water, fat-free mass, and lean mass per body segment. The peak pressure on the right heel showed a moderate correlation with total and extracellular body water, fat-free mass, and lean mass per segment. CONCLUSION: The need for multicenter research was evident, focusing on bioimpedance assessment as a risk factor for the development of pressure ulcers.

Risk assessment for perioperative pressure injuries.

OBJECTIVES: to evaluate and classify patients according to the Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries; verify the association between sociodemographic and clinical variables and the risk score; and identify the occurrence of pressure injuries due to surgical positioning. METHOD: observational, longitudinal, prospective and quantitative study carried out in a teaching hospital with 278 patients submitted to elective surgeries. A sociodemographic and clinical characterization questionnaire and the Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries were used. Descriptive, bivariate and logistic regression analyses were applied. RESULTS: the majority of patients (56.5%) presented a high risk for perioperative pressure injury. Female sex, elderly group, and altered body mass index values were statistically significant (p < 0.05) for a higher risk of pressure injuries. In 77% of the patients, there were perioperative pressure injuries. CONCLUSION: most of the participants presented a high risk for development of perioperative decubitus ulcers. The female sex, elderly group, and altered body mass index were significant factors for increased risk. The Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries allows the early identification of risk of injury, subsidizing the adoption of preventive strategies to ensure the quality of perioperative care.

Relaxation Therapy with Guided Imagery for Postoperative Pain Management: An Integrative Review.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the evidence in the literature about relaxation therapy with guided imagery for postoperative pain management. METHOD: Integrative review. DATA SOURCE: PubMed, Lilacs, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and Cinahl, between August 2006 and December 2016. Descriptors: Postoperative Pain, Imagery (Psychotherapy) and Guided Imagery. STUDY SELECTION: original studies published in English, Spanish and Portuguese. 291 studies were identified and eight were selected. Descriptive data analysis, presented in detail, with a summary of the knowledge produced in each study. RESULTS: In the primary studies included, the use of guided imagery associated with other complementary therapies was highlighted: hand and foot "M" technique, education on postoperative pain management with analgesic drugs, relaxation exercises, respiration exercises, meditation, soothing biorhythmic music combined with positive and encouraging assertions and music with nature sounds. CONCLUSIONS: The knowledge synthesis resulting from this study indicates that evidence could be identified on the use of guided imagery associated with relaxation therapy as a complementary approach to drug analgesia in postoperative pain control strengthens its indication for nursing practice. This evidence, however, demonstrates that the quality of the use of this therapy is limited, and it is necessary to carry out new randomized clinical studies to fill the existing gaps in this topic.

The Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries allows the early identification of risk of injury, subsidizing the adoption of preventive strategies to ensure the quality of perioperative care.

RESUMO Objetivos: avaliar e classificar pacientes segundo a Escala de Avaliação de Risco para Desenvolvimento de Lesões Decorrentes do Posicionamento Cirúrgico; verificar se há associação entre variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e escore de risco; e identificar a ocorrência de lesões por pressão, decorrentes do posicionamento cirúrgico. Método: estudo observacional, longitudinal, prospectivo e quantitativo, realizado em hospital de ensino, com 278 pacientes submetidos a cirurgias eletivas. Utilizaram-se questionário de caracterização sociodemográfica e clínica e Escala de Avaliação de Risco para Desenvolvimento de Lesões Decorrentes do Posicionamento Cirúrgico. Empregaram-se análises descritiva, bivariada e de regressão logística. Resultados: a maioria dos pacientes (56,5%) apresentou alto risco para lesão perioperatória por posicionamento. Sexo feminino, idoso e valores de índice de massa corporal alterados foram estatisticamente significativos (p<0,05) para maior risco de ocorrência dessas lesões. Em 77% dos pacientes houve lesões por posicionamento. Conclusão: a maioria dos participantes apresentou alto risco para desenvolvimento de lesão perioperatória por posicionamento. Sexo feminino, idoso e índice de massa corporal alterado foram fatores significativos para aumento do risco. A Escala de Avaliação de Risco para Desenvolvimento de Lesões Decorrentes do Posicionamento Cirúrgico possibilita identificar risco de lesão precocemente, subsidiando a adoção de estratégias preventivas para assegurar a qualidade do cuidado perioperatório.

RESUMEN Objetivos: evaluar y clasificar pacientes según la Escala de Evaluación de Riesgo para el Desarrollo de Lesiones Derivadas por Posicionamiento Quirúrgico, verificar si hay asociación entre variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y escore de riesgo e identificar si existen lesiones por presión, derivadas del posicionamiento quirúrgico. Método: estudio observacional, longitudinal, prospectivo y cuantitativo, realizado en hospital de enseñanza, con 278 pacientes sometidos a cirugías electivas. Se utilizó un cuestionario de caracterización sociodemográfica y clínica y Escala de Evaluación de Riesgo para el Desarrollo de Lesiones Derivadas por Posicionamiento Quirúrgico. Empleamos análisis descriptivos, bivariados y de regresión logística. Resultados: la mayoría de los pacientes (56,5%) presentó alto riesgo para lesión peri operatoria por posicionamiento. El sexo femenino, ancianos y valores de índice de masa corporal alterados fueron estadísticamente significativos (p <0,05) para mayor riesgo de existencia de esas lesiones. En el 77% de los pacientes hubo lesiones por posicionamiento. Conclusión: la mayoría de los participantes presentó alto riesgo de desarrollo de lesión peri operatoria por posicionamiento. El sexo femenino, ancianos e índice de masa corporal alterado fueron factores significativos para el aumento del riesgo. La Escala de Evaluación de Riesgo para el Desarrollo de Lesiones Derivadas del Posicionamiento Quirúrgico posibilita identificar precozmente el riesgo de lesión, subsidiando la adopción de estrategias preventivas para asegurar la calidad del periodo perioperatorio.

Composição corporal e ocorrência de lesão por pressão: revisão integrativa / Composición corporal y ocurrencia de lesión por presión: revisión integradora / Body composition and pressure ulcer occurrence: an integrative review

Objetivo analisar a relação entre a composição corporal com a distribuição de pressão de interface sob proeminências ósseas e a ocorrência de lesão por pressão. Método revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, CINAHL, Lilacs, Embase®, Scopus e Web of Science, publicados entre 1990 e julho de 2018. Resultados foram selecionados nove estudos e classificados em duas categorias temáticas. A primeira categoria abordou a relação da lesão por pressão com classificação nutricional e a segunda a relação da composição corporal com a pressão de interface. O risco de lesão por pressão esteve relacionado à diminuição da massa magra, da quantidade de água corporal e ao índice de massa corporal extremo; além de maior incidência em idosos institucionalizados com redução de massa gorda. Conclusão houve relação da composição corporal com a ocorrência de lesão por pressão, apresentando divergências entre adultos e idosos.

Objetivo analizar la relación entre la composición corporal con la distribución de presión de interface debajo de prominencias óseas y la ocurrencia de lesión por presión. Método revisión integradora de la literatura realizada en las bases de datos PubMed, CINAHL, Lilacs, Embase®, Scopus e Web of Science, publicados entre 1990 y julio de 2018. Resultados se seleccionaron nueve estudios y se clasificaron en dos categorías temáticas. La primera categoría abordó la relación de la lesión por presión con clasificación nutricional y la segunda, la relación de la composición corporal con la presión de interface. El riesgo de lesión por presión estuvo relacionado a la disminución de la masa magra, de la cantidad de agua corporal y al índice de masa corporal extremo; además de mayor incidencia en ancianos institucionalizados con reducción de masa grasa. Conclusión hubo relación de la composición corporal con la ocurrencia de lesión por presión, presentando divergencias entre adultos y ancianos.

Objective to analyze the relationship between body composition and interface pressure distribution under bony prominences and the occurrence of pressure injury. Method this is an integrative literature review conducted in the PubMed, CINAHL, Lilacs, Embase®, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, published between 1990 and July 2018. Results nine studies were selected and classified into two thematic categories. The first category addressed the relationship of pressure injury with nutritional classification and the second the relationship of body composition with interface pressure. The risk of pressure injury was related to the decrease in lean body mass, body water content and extreme body mass index; besides higher incidence in institutionalized elderly with fat mass reduction. Conclusion there was a relationship between body composition and the occurrence of pressure injury, showing differences between adults and the elderly.

Influence of socio-demographic, clinical and surgical variables on the Aldrete-Kroulik Scoring System.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the influence of the variables sex, age, type of anesthesia, occurrence of intraoperative complications, pain and surgical complexity on the Aldrete-Kroulik Scoring System in patients in the immediate postoperative period, in the post-anesthesia care unit. METHOD: Non-experimental, longitudinal study, with a quantitative approach, conducted with 241 surgical patients. Descriptive analysis, Student's t-test, Pearson and Spearman Correlation Indexes and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: Correlations between the Aldrete-Kroulik Scoring System and pain (r=-0.13; p=0.05) and surgical complexity (r=-0.12; p=0.05) were statistically significant. The type of anesthesia and pain (p<0.01) influenced the decrease of the Aldrete-Kroulik System's scores. CONCLUSION: Considering the vulnerability of patients in the immediate postoperative period, it is essential for the nurse to know the factors that can influence the Aldrete-Kroulik Scoring System to provide a safe and optimal post-anesthesia recovery.
