Nursing care for women with HELLP syndrome: a scoping review.

OBJECTIVE: To map evidence on nursing care for women with HELLP syndrome. METHOD: A scoping review with searches carried out in May 2023, independently, in the PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, CAPES Theses and Dissertations Catalog and Cochrane Library databases, correlating the descriptors HELLP Syndrome, Nursing Care and Obstetric Nursing and its synonyms, without delimitation of time and language. Selection was carried out by three researchers independently and resolved by consensus. RESULTS: Of the 129 studies, ten were selected, which made up the final sample. The studies date from 2004 to 2022, with a predominance of English language and clinical case studies. A greater occurrence of the syndrome was observed in second-time pregnant women in the second decade of life, with a gestational age from 32 weeks, which resulted in an emergency cesarean section, and all newborns were discharged accompanied by their mothers. Studies that described nursing diagnoses and focused on nursing care were retrieved. From the review, 39 nursing care were identified. CONCLUSION: This review pointed out the magnitude of the syndrome, however with a lack of studies.

Effectiveness of individualized counseling on the duration of exclusive breastfeeding: study protocol for a multicenter, randomized, parallel, and open clinical trial.

BACKGROUND: Despite the benefits of breastfeeding, early weaning is a reality, so less than 50% of children worldwide and in Brazil are on exclusive breastfeeding in the sixth month of life. A strategy to counteract this scenario is breastfeeding counseling. This study aims to verify the effectiveness of individualized counseling by nurses trained in breastfeeding counseling, on the duration of exclusive breastfeeding, compared to standard care. METHODS: Multicenter, randomized, parallel, and open clinical trial, with primiparous women aged over 18 years, hospitalized in rooming-in wards at participating centers and hemodynamically stable, aware, and oriented, who had a single-fetus pregnancy and gave birth, regardless of the type of delivery, with live child, gestational age of 37 to 42 weeks and birth weight greater than 2500 g. The women will be initially approached in rooming-in wards and, upon consent to participate in the study, will be allocated through randomization by blocks composed of eight participants in two groups: intervention and control. The randomization lists will be organized by a central without involvement with the study, which will manage the allocation groups and be prepared in the Randon® program. Women allocated to the intervention group will receive breastfeeding counseling by trained nurses, and those in the control group will receive standard care at the center participating in the study. DISCUSSION: The results can contribute to breastfeeding by evidencing possible exclusivity and duration of the counseling trained nurses provide.

Encapsulation of Lactobacillus spp. using bovine and buffalo cheese whey and their application in orange juice.

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficiency of bovine (CW) and buffalo cheese whey (BCW) as encapsulating agents for the spray-drying (SD) of endogenous Lactobacillus pentosus ML 82 and the reference strain Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014. Their protective features were also tested for resistance to storage (90 days, 25 °C), simulated gastrointestinal tract (GIT) conditions, and for their application in orange juice. Survival rates after SD were approximately 95% in all samples tested, meaning both CW and BCW performed satisfactorily. After 90 days of storage, both species remained above 7 log Colony Forming Units (CFU)/g. However, CW generally enabled higher bacterial viability throughout this period. CW microcapsule characteristics were also more stable, which is indicated by the fact that BCW had higher moist content. Under GIT conditions, encapsulated lactobacilli had higher survival rates than free cells regardless of encapsulating agent. Even so, results indicate that CW and BCW perform better under gastric conditions than intestinal conditions. Regarding their use in orange juice, coating materials were probably dissolved due to low pH, and both free and encapsulated bacteria had similar survival rates. Overall, CW and BCW are suitable encapsulating agents for lactic acid bacteria, as they provided protection during storage and against harmful GIT conditions.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Mapear evidencia sobre los cuidados de enfermería a mujeres con síndrome HELLP. Método: Revisión de alcance, con búsquedas realizadas en mayo de 2023, de forma independiente, en las bases de datos PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, Catálogo de Tesis y Disertaciones CAPES y Cochrane Library, correlacionando los descriptores HELLP Syndrome, Nursing Care y Obstetric Nursing y sus sinónimos, sin delimitación de tiempo e idioma. La selección fue realizada por tres investigadores de forma independiente y resuelta por consenso. Resultados: De las 129 publicaciones se seleccionaron diez, que conformaron la muestra final. Las publicaciones datan de 2004 a 2022, con predominio del inglés y estudios de casos clínicos. Se observó una mayor ocurrencia del síndrome en mujeres embarazadas por segunda vez en la segunda década de la vida, con edad gestacional a partir de las 32 semanas, lo que resultó en cesárea de emergencia, y todos los recién nacidos fueron dados de alta acompañados de sus madres. Se recuperaron estudios que describían diagnósticos de enfermería y se centraban en los cuidados de enfermería. De la revisión se identificaron 39 medidas de cuidados de enfermería. Conclusión: Esta revisión señaló la magnitud del síndrome, aunque faltan estudios.

RESUMO Objetivo: Mapear evidências sobre assistência de enfermagem às mulheres com síndrome HELLP. Método: Scoping review, com buscas realizadas em maio de 2023, independentemente, nas bases PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES e Cochrane Library, correlacionando os descritores HELLP Syndrome, Nursing Care e Obstetric Nursing e seus sinônimos, sem delimitação de tempo e idioma. A seleção foi realizada por três pesquisadores independentemente e resolvida por consenso. Resultados: Das 129 publicações, foram selecionadas dez, que compuseram a amostra final. As publicações datam de 2004 a 2022, com predomínio do idioma inglês e de estudos de casos clínicos. Observou-se maior ocorrência da síndrome em secundigestas na segunda década de vida, com idade gestacional a partir de 32 semanas, que tiveram como desfecho cesárea de emergência, e todos os recém-nascidos receberam alta acompanhados das mães. Resgataram-se estudos que descreviam diagnósticos de enfermagem e que focavam em cuidados assistenciais de enfermagem. A partir da revisão, identificaram-se 39 cuidados de enfermagem. Conclusão: A presente revisão apontou a magnitude da síndrome, contudo possui escassez de estudos.
