RESUMEN
El proceso de atención en enfermería (PAE) es un método sistemático y organizado que requiere de un entrenamiento específico, tener conocimientos y habilidades prácticas que proporcionan las herramientas para brindar cuidado abordando las dimensiones de forma holística a partir de una interacción directa con el paciente, la familia y el entorno social. Se presenta el PAE de una persona mayor, femenina, de 65 años de edad, con pluripatologías: síndrome purpúrico, monoparesia de miembro inferior derecho y síndrome convulsivo, reintervenida quirúrgicamente de un reemplazo de cadera derecha. Se plantea el PAE y sus cinco etapas: valoración, diagnóstico, planeación, ejecución y evaluación; siguiendo la valoración por dominios. El plan de cuidados se realiza con el enfoque de mapa de cuidados en la situación quirúrgica, diagnóstico NANDA International, lnc. La evaluación de intervenciones NIC (Nursing Interventions Classification) y resultados NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification).
The Nursing Care Process (NCP) is a systematic and organized method that requires specific training, knowledge and practical skills that provide the tools needed to provide care by addressing the dimensions holistically from direct interaction with the patient, the family and social environment. Te NCP of a 65-year-old female elderly person with multiple pathologies; purpuric syndrome, right lower limb monoparesis and convulsive syndrome, who underwent surgery for a right hip replacement is presented. The Nursing Care Process (NCP) and its five stages are proposed: assessment, diagnosis, Outcomes/ Planning, Implementation and evaluation; following the valuation by domains. The care plan was carried out with the care map approach, NANDA Internacional Inc. Te evaluation of NIC (Nursing Interventions Classification) interventions and NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification) results.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a stepwise tool to aid primary health care professionals in the process of deprescribing potentially inappropriate medication in older persons. METHODS: We carried out a systematic review to identify previously published tools. A composite proposal of algorithm was made by following the steps from clinical experience to deprescribe medications. A 2-round electronic Delphi method was conducted to establish consensus. Eighteen experts from different countries (Colombia, Spain and Argentina) accepted to be part of the panel representing geriatricians, internists, endocrinologist, general practitioners, pharmacologists, clinical pharmacists, family physicians and nurses. Panel members were asked to mark a Likert Scale from 1 to 9 points (1= strongly disagree, 9= strongly agree). The content validity ratio, item-level content validity, and Fleiss' Kappa statistics was measured to establish reliability. The same voting method was used for round 2. RESULTS: A 7-question algorithm was proposed. Each question was part of a domain and conduct into a decision. In round 1, a consensus was not reached but statements were grouped and organized. In round 2, the tool met consensus. The inter-rater reliability was between substantial and almost perfect for questions with Kappa=0.77 (95% CI 0.60-0.93), for domains with Kappa= 0.73 (95%CI 0.60-0.86) and for decisions with Kappa= 0.97 (95%CI 0.90-1.00). CONCLUSIONS: This is a novel tool that captures and supports healthcare professionals in clinical decision-making for deprescribing potentially inappropriate medication. This includes patient's and caregiver's preferences about medication. This tool will help to standardize care and provide guidance on the prescribing/deprescribing process of older persons' medications. Also, it provides a holistic way to reduce polypharmacy and inappropriate medications in clinical practice.
