Features of the triggering of the yellow code and factors associated with the occurrence of adverse events.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the characteristics of the activation of the yellow code in wards and identify the factors associated with adverse events after the Rapid Response Team. METHODS: a cross-sectional study with retrospective analysis of medical records of adults admitted to medical or surgical clinic wards of the University Hospital of São Paulo. RESULTS: among the 91 patients, the most frequent signs of triggers (n=107) were peripheral oxygen saturation of less than 90% (40.2%) and hypotension (30.8%). Regarding the associated factors the research identified each minute of attendance of the Rapid Response Team in the wards increased by 1.2% odds of adverse events (twenty-four unplanned admission in the ICU and one cardiac arrest) in the sample (p=0.014). CONCLUSIONS: decreased oxygen saturation and hypotension were the main reasons for the triggering, and the length of care was associated with the frequency of adverse events.

Characteristics of music intervention to reduce anxiety in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization: scoping review.

The characteristics of music interventions for reducing anxiety in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization were mapped. A scoping review was conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Searches were performed in electronic portals and databases PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane, EMBASE, Scopus, LILACS, CAPES Thesis Portal (Brazil), DART-Europe E-theses Portal, Theses Canada Portal, Pro-Quest, and Google Scholar databases, gray literature, with no limitation on the year of publication. Eighteen articles were included in the search. The characteristics of the interventions were heterogeneous and not comprehensively described in the primary studies. The songs were predominantly of a single genre, instrumental, and selected by the interventionist, with a rhythm between 60 and 80 beats per minute. The interventions were delivered in a single session, mostly in the catheterization laboratory, before or during the procedure, by means of digital audio and earphones for over 20 min. The heterogeneity of interventions and incompleteness of information in the studies compromises the advancement of knowledge on the effects of music on health outcomes.

Factors associated with caregivers' contribution to self-care in heart failure. / Fatores associados à contribuição dos cuidadores para o autocuidado na insuficiência cardíaca.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the caregiver's contribution to self-care in heart failure and the predictor variables of this contribution. METHOD: a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study, with the participation of 140 dyads (patients and caregivers). The contribution to self-care was assessed using the Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care of Heart Failure Index. Caregivers and patients were interviewed separately to obtain the data. Multiple linear regressions were used to verify predictor variables of caregiver contribution. RESULTS: the mean score for contribution to maintenance self-care was 62.7 (SD=7.1), for management, 62.9 (SD=20.4) and for confidence was 63.3 (SD=22.1). The variables number of patient's medications, caregiver being related to the patient, social perception of caregiver, health-related quality of life of the patient and caregiver's confidence in contributing to self-care were predictors of caregiver's contribution to maintenance or management self-care. CONCLUSION: the caregiver's contribution was insufficient. The social support perceived by the caregiver, the type of relationship the caregiver to the patient, the number of medications used by the patient, as well as the caregiver's confidence in contributing to self-care are variables that should be considered to assess the risk of insufficient contribution of the caregiver.

Effect of the national early warning score on monitoring the vital signs of patients in the emergency room.

OBJECTIVE: To verify the effect of using the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) system on the compliance of the vital signs monitoring interval with those recommended for patients in the emergency room. METHODS: This is a quasi-experimental, before-and-after study, performed in an emergency room with 280 adult patients selected by convenience. The effect of NEWS on the compliance of the vital signs monitoring interval with those recommended by the system was analyzed by linear regression. RESULTS: In the Pre-NEWS phase, 143 patients were analyzed (mean age ± standard deviation: 54.4 ± 20.5; male: 56.6%) and, in the Post-NEWS phase, 137 patients (mean age ± standard deviation: 55.5 ± 20.8; male: 50.4%). There was compliance of the vital signs monitoring interval with what is recommended by NEWS in 92.6% of vital signs records after adopting this instrument. This compliance was 9% (p < 0.001) higher in the Post-NEWS phase. CONCLUSION: The use of the NEWS system increased the compliance of the vital signs monitoring intervals with the ones recommended, but this compliance decreased when the NEWS score pointed to a shorter interval in the monitoring of vital signs.

Validation of the Brazilian Portuguese version of Evidence-based Practice Knowledge Assessment in Nursing (EKAN).

OBJECTIVE: The Evidence-based Practice Knowledge Assessment in Nursing (EKAN) is an objective measure of evidence-based practice (EBP) knowledge. The aims of the project were to translate the EKAN instrument into Brazilian Portuguese, test its psychometric properties, and document a baseline assessment of students' EBP knowledge. METHOD: This study used methodological design. The EKAN-Brazilian Portuguese was administered to nursing students from two baccalaureate programs. Data were analyzed using Rasch procedures. RESULTS: 123 students participated (87% ranged 19-25 years old; 60% were juniors; 38% perceived having no exposure to EBP). Validity indices showed the mean difficulty index = -2.48 to 2.07, the Infit (WMS) mean was.985 (SD = 2.13), and the Outfit (UMS) mean was.975 (SD = 0.17). Reliability indices showed sufficient item separation index (4.47); moderate person separation index (.47); high item reliability (.95); and low person reliability (.18). The mean EKAN sum score (max = 20) was 7.6 (SD = 2.13). CONCLUSION: This study on the EKAN-Brazilian Portuguese version provided sufficient evidence for validity and reliability; the person reliabilities showed the need for improvement in incorporating EBP concepts and content in nursing programs.

Effect of post-storage filters vs. pre-storage filters for leukoreduction of blood components on clinical outcomes: a systematic review protocol.

OBJECTIVE: This review will synthesize the best available evidence on the effectiveness of leukocyte reduction by comparing post-storage and pre-storage filters. The review will consider the following clinical outcomes: transfusion reactions, bacterial infection, length of stay, and mortality. INTRODUCTION: Transfusion is a relevant therapy, but it is not risk-free. Leukocyte reduction can be performed either by apheresis or by pre- or post-storage filters in order to reduce the risk of transfusion reactions, transmission of some diseases, alloimmunization, and platelet refractoriness. It can also reduce the length of hospital stay and the use of antibiotics. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Studies comparing the transfusion of leukocyte reduction through post-storage filters with pre-storage filters in patients of any age who received a transfusion and the clinical outcomes resulting from the transfusion will be considered for inclusion. Studies in Portuguese, English, and Spanish will be considered, with no publication time limit. METHODS: The research sources will include MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), PsycINFO, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, LILACS, and gray literature sources. The selection of titles and abstracts will be carried out by two independent reviewers, and the critical evaluation of the studies will be based on JBI tools. The data of interest for the review question will be extracted using JBI SUMARI. A narrative synthesis will be performed as will a meta-analysis and risk assessment of publication bias, if possible. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO: CRD42020192202.

Results 123 students participated (87% ranged 19-25 years old; 60% were juniors; 38% perceived having no exposure to EBP). Validity indices showed the mean difficulty index = -2.48 to 2.07, the Infit (WMS) mean was.985 (SD = 2.13), and the Outfit (UMS) mean was.975 (SD = 0.17). Reliability indices showed sufficient item separation index (4.47); moderate person separation index (.47); high item reliability (.95); and low person reliability (.18). The mean EKAN sum score (max = 20) was 7.6 (SD = 2.13). Conclusion This study on the EKAN-Brazilian Portuguese version provided sufficient evidence for validity and reliability; the person reliabilities showed the need for improvement in incorporating EBP concepts and content in nursing programs.

SCHFI 6.2 Self-Care Confidence Scale - Brazilian version: psychometric analysis using the Rasch model.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Self-Care Confidence Scale in heart failure in the Brazilian version of the Self Care Heart Failure Index, version 6.2, using the Rasch model criteria. METHOD: secondary study, of psychometric analysis, using the Rasch model, of the six items of the scale. The sample consisted of 409 patients with heart failure undergoing outpatient treatment [mean age 57.9 (standard deviation = 11.6) years, 54.8% male]. RESULTS: of the total of six items, one ("De maneira geral, você está confiante sobre estar livre dos sintomas de insuficiência cardíaca?") presented maladjustment to the model (Infit = 1.84 and Outfit = 1.99). After the exclusion of this item, the others showed a good fit, composed one dimension and explained 55% of the variance in the data; the categories of response to the items were adequate, the values of separation and reliability of person were 2.13 and 0.82, respectively, and Cronbach's alpha was 0.87. Items of extreme difficulty were identified and there is no differential functioning of the items in relation to sex. CONCLUSION: with the exclusion of the first item, the Self-Care Confidence Scale showed good psychometric properties, with caution in interpreting the results of the six-item scale.

Clinical judgment and diagnostic reasoning of nursing students in clinical simulation.

OBJECTIVES: to determine the degree of association between clinical judgment and diagnostic reasoning of nursing students in clinical simulation. METHODS: this is a correlational research design using a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 41 nursing students who assisted a patient with vaso-occlusive crisis in a high-fidelity clinical simulation setting. The instruments used included the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric - Brazilian Version and the Diagnostic Thinking Inventory. RESULTS: clinical judgment was associated with diagnostic reasoning (r=0.313; p=0.046), as well as the "noticing" aspect of clinical judgment with diagnostic reasoning (r=0.312; p=0.047). CONCLUSIONS: the results show that skills to interpret patient data are associated with diagnostic reasoning skills. Teaching clinical judgment skills is necessary to develop the diagnostic reasoning of nursing students.

Effectiveness of the Manchester Triage System on time to treatment in the emergency department: a systematic review.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this review was to synthesize the best available evidence on the effectiveness of the Manchester Triage System (MTS) on time to treatment (TtT) for patients who visit the emergency department (ED). INTRODUCTION: The objectives of the MTS are to define a safe wait time for medical attention. Triage systems, such as the MTS, use criteria to ensure patient safety by determining appropriate wait times for each individual who visits the ED. The TtT is the time interval between arrival at the ED to initiation of therapeutic interventions. A short TtT is important in different clinical situations and may reduce infections and mortality. The MTS may have an impact on the TtT. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review considered studies that included any patients visiting the ED with any complaints or medical diagnoses who were triaged using the MTS by nurses or doctors, and the TtT was measured. This review considered randomized controlled trials, as well as quasi-experimental, before-and-after, case-control and analytical cross-sectional studies. Studies published after 1994 in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German were considered for inclusion. METHOD: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with JBI methodology. The search strategy aimed to find both published and unpublished studies in MEDLINE, CINAHL, Lilacs, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Google Scholar, Banco de Teses - CAPES, and Digital Dissertations. The results of this search were assessed by one reviewer who excluded duplicate results. Titles and abstracts were screened by two independent reviewers for assessment against the inclusion criteria. The full texts of potentially eligible papers were retrieved and independently assessed by two reviewers using a standardized critical appraisal instrument from JBI. Data were extracted from studies included in the review and were presented using a narrative form. Tables were used to summarize the characteristics and findings of the studies. RESULTS: The review included two before-and-after studies, with a total of 2265 participants. One study was of moderate quality, and the other was of high quality. One study included only patients with acute ischemic stroke, while the other included patients with any complaint. Both studies were performed with consecutive samples. The median TtT was 10 minutes before implementing the MTS and 12 minutes after implementing the MTS in the study that included patients with any complaints. In the study including patients with acute ischemic stroke, the median TtT decreased by 15 minutes after implementing the MTS (from 75 to 60 minutes). Because of the heterogeneity in the characteristics of the populations of the two studies, the results could not be pooled. CONCLUSIONS: The MTS reduced the median TtT for patients triaged at the highest priority levels (orange and yellow), but it did not decrease the median TtT in all patients. The existing evidence base regarding the effectiveness of the MTS comes from two studies with methodological limitations that could not be pooled. The evidence indicates the MTS may confer benefit to some patients who visit the ED by reducing TtT, but not for all patients. Further research is needed before firm conclusions can be made.
