OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of the sonographic identification of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in women presenting with complaints suggestive of DIE. Sonography findings were correlated with subsequent surgical exploration, and histologic verification. METHODS: A retrospective observational case series was investigated to document the ability of the use of sonography to accurately detect the presence of deep infiltrating endometriosis. The clinical observations were performed consistent with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) recommendations for observational studies. Recognizing the real-world office setting for this may introduce the importance of the practical clinical aspects of diagnostic procedures in general. RESULTS: Three-dimensional transvaginal sonography was able to accurately identify deep invasive endometriosis in 92% of the 100 women subjectively complaining of the associated symptoms of endometriosis, who underwent sonography, surgical exploration, and pathologic analysis. Additional sonographic evidence of pelvic pathology was found during the course of this investigation, perhaps complementing other means for diagnosing endometriosis. CONCLUSION: Three-dimensional transvaginal sonography is a diagnostic tool that can effectively identify deep infiltrating endometriosis, which may otherwise go undetected and untreated. These findings should encourage the use of sonography for the detection of this subtype of endometriosis.

AIM: To explore the views of an international sample of nursing and midwifery managers concerning attributes that they associate with compassionate management. METHOD: A cross-sectional online survey. Using a snowballing sampling method, 1217 responses were collected from nursing and midwifery managers in 17 countries. A total of complete 933 responses to a question related to which actions and behaviours indicated that a manager was exercising compassionate leadership were analysed for this paper. First, content analysis of the responses was conducted, and second, a relative distribution of the identified themes for the overall sample and for each participating country was calculated. RESULTS: Six main themes were identified describing the attributes of a compassionate leader: (1) Virtuous support, (2) Communication, (3) Personal virtues of the manager, (4) Participatory communication, (5) Growth/flourishing/ nurturing and (6) Team cohesion. The first three themes mentioned above collectively accounted for 63% of the responses, and can therefore be considered to be the most important characteristics of compassionate management behaviour. CONCLUSION: The key indicators of compassionate management in nursing and midwifery which were identified emphasise approachability, active and sensitive listening, sympathetic responses to staff members' difficulties (especially concerning child and other caring responsibilities), active support of and advocacy for the staff team and active problem solving and conflict resolution. While there were differences between the countries' views on compassionate healthcare management, some themes were widely represented among different countries' responses, which suggest key indicators of compassionate management that apply across cultures.

Objective: To recognize compassionate practices and the obstacles to their use by nurse managers in Colombia. Method: This is a mixed cross-sectional, descriptive, exploratory, international study with an online survey administered in 17 countries. Data were extracted from Colombia with a sample of 69 nurse managers. Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, and qualitative data were processed using the Nvivo software and thematic analysis. Results: 90 % women, mainly from a hospital setting (40 %). Compassionate practices in administrative nursing involve four categories: Listening; supporting and recognizing staff individuality; defining compassion practices, needs, and benefits; receiving compassion and complementary views of compassion and administration where the influence of cultural and organizational patterns become obstacles to compassion. Conclusion: For nursing, compassion demonstrates the intentional ability to recognize the singularity of someone else's suffering, understand their needs, offer support, and find solutions based on an understanding of what being human means. These aspects require significant changes at the organizational and health legislation levels to mitigate the obstacles to compassion.
Objetivo: reconocer las prácticas de compasión y sus obstáculos por parte de enfermeras administrativas en Colombia. Método: estudio mixto de tipo transversal, descriptivo, exploratorio e internacional con una encuesta en línea aplicada en 17 países. Fueron extraídos los datos de Colombia con una muestra de 69 enfermeras administrativas. Se analizaron los datos cuantitativos con estadística descriptiva y los datos cualitativos se procesaron con el programa Nvivo y con un análisis temático. Resultados: 90 % mujeres, principalmente del ámbito hospitalario (40 %). La práctica de la compasión en enfermeras administrativas involucra cuatro categorías: escuchar; defender y reconocer la individualidad del personal; definir la práctica de la compasión, las necesidades y las ventajas; recibir compasión y opiniones complementarias de compasión y administración en las cuales la influencia de patrones culturales y organizacionales se presentan como obstáculos a la compasión. Conclusión: la compasión para enfermería demuestra la capacidad intencional de reconocer la singularidad del sufrimiento del otro, comprender sus necesidades, ofrecer soporte y encontrar soluciones desde la comprensión del sentido de lo humano. Estos aspectos requieren cambios significativos a nivel organizacional y de legislación en salud para mitigar los obstáculos con el fin de ofrecer compasión.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate rates of utilization of alternative treatments before hysterectomy for benign gynecologic indications within a large integrated health care system. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent hysterectomies for benign gynecologic conditions between 2012 and 2014 (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: Kaiser Permanente Northern California, a community-based integrated health system. PATIENTS: Women who underwent hysterectomy for a benign gynecologic condition between 2012 and 2014. INTERVENTIONS: From an eligible cohort of 6892 patients who underwent hysterectomy, a stratified random sample of 1050 patients were selected for chart review. Stratification was based on the proportion of indications for hysterectomy. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The primary outcome was the use of alternative treatments before hysterectomy. Alternative treatments included oral hormone treatment, leuprolide, medroxyprogesterone intramuscular injections, a levonorgestrel intrauterine device, hormonal subdermal implants, endometrial ablation, uterine artery embolization, hysteroscopy, and myomectomy. Of the 1050 charts reviewed, 979 (93.2%) met the criteria for inclusion in this study. The predominant indication for hysterectomy was symptomatic myomas (54.4%), followed by abnormal uterine bleeding (29.0%), endometriosis (5.8%), pelvic pain (3.1%), dysmenorrhea (3.4%), and other (4.3%). The major routes of hysterectomy were laparoscopy (68.7%) and vaginal hysterectomy (13.4%). Before hysterectomy, 81.2% of patients tried at least 1 type of alternative treatment (33.8% with 1 treatment and 47.4% with at least 2 treatments), and 99.3% of patients were counseled regarding alternative treatments. Compared with younger women age <40 years, women age 45 to 49 years were less likely to use alternative treatments before hysterectomy (adjusted odds ratio, 0.41; 95% confidence interval, 0.21-0.76). There were no variations in treatment rates by socioeconomic status or between major racial and ethnic groups. The final pathological analysis identified myomas as the most common pathology (nâ¯=â¯637; 65.1%); 96 patients (9.8%) had normal uterine pathology. CONCLUSION: More than 80% of patients received alternative treatments before undergoing hysterectomy for a benign gynecologic condition. Additional investigation is warranted to assess alternative treatment use as it relates to preventing unnecessary hysterectomies.

Se exploraron puntos de vista y experiencias sobre compasión en la práctica de enfermeras colombianas que contrastan con los otros 14 países participantes del estudio internacional online. El estudio transversal exploratorio con survey internacional online con 10 preguntas (abiertas y cerradas) contó con 1323 enfermeras; 103 fueron de Colombia. Los datos cuantitativos colombianos fueron analizados en Excel y los cualitativos, en el programa Nvivo con análisis temático y consenso entre investigadores. La muestra colombiana contó con 83,5% docentes, y eligieron la definición de compasión como la "conciencia profunda de sufrimiento de los otros y el deseo de aliviar ese sufrimiento" (84,3%). Piensan que la compasión puede ser enseñada (64,1%) pero no es impartida (45,1%) y es influenciada por la experiencia personal (38,2%) y los valores culturales (37,3%). Los relatos de Colombia revelan barreras sociopolíticas, organizacionales y educativas para la atención compasiva. Perciben compasión de sus pacientes (84,7%), escasa compasión entre colegas (14,3%) y casi nula compasión por parte de los gerentes (1%). Sin embargo, emerge la naturaleza consciente e intencional de la compasión y el esfuerzo de enfermería por desarrollarla en cinco componentes: particularizar, invertir tiempo, estar presente, ir más allá y la defensa/abogacia. Se hacen evidentes algunas variaciones culturales de la compasión y formas de promoverla en un ejercicio profesional cada vez más transcultural.
Points of view and experiences about compassion were explored in the practice of Colombian nurses and a contrast was made with the other 14 participating countries of the international online study. The cross-sectional exploratory study with an online international survey with 10 questions (open and closed), had 1323 nurses, 103 were from Colombia. Colombian quantitative data were analyzed in Excel and qualitative data in Nvivo with thematic analysis and consensus among researchers. The Colombian sample counted with 83.5% teachers and they chose the definition of compassion as the "deep awareness of the suffering of others and the desire to alleviate that suffering" (84.3%) in contrast to 59.5% of the online international study. Although, there are statistically significant differences between the countries of the international online study in the definition of compassion and some experiences, there are also similarities in several qualitative findings. The sociopolitical, organizational and educational barriers for compassionate care are evident. However, there is a conscious and intentional nature of the compassion and nursing effort to develop it. Some cultural variations of compassion and ways of promoting it in an increasingly transcultural professional exercise are evident.

Objetivo: Interpretar la percepción del indígena Embera Chami frente a la compe-tencia cultural de la enfermera de salud pública. Materiales y métodos: Etnografía interpretativa con observación participante y entrevistas etnográficas. Participaron siete colaboradores generales y once indígenas receptores de cuidado. El análisis adoptó la propuesta de Leininger con apoyo del Atlas ti y Excel. Emergieron dos ca-tegorías, cada una sustentada con dos subcategorías. Resultados: Al observar los In-dígenas satisfechos y comprometidos con la enfermera y con la Institución prestadora de servicios de salud intercultural, permitió percibir una actitud positiva respecto del cuidado recibido de la enfermera, siempre en conjunción con la política intercultural y el saber del indígena de tal forma que sea reconocido y considerado. Conclusión: Los indígenas sienten satisfacción y compromiso al poner en práctica las recomenda-ciones ofrecidas por la enfermera, especialmente cuando el cuidado de la profesional se realiza de manera culturalmente competente teniendo siempre en cuenta su con-texto. Pese a que los aspectos con los que el cuidado culturalmente competente puede influir de manera positiva en la salud de los indígenas, los asuntos relacionados con la alimentación balanceada son difíciles de cumplir por este grupo poblacional.
Objective: Interpret the perception of the Indigenous Embera Chami towards cultural competence of public health nurses. Materials and methods: Interpretative ethnography with participant observation and ethnographic interviews. Seven general collaborators and eleven Emebra Indigenous care recipients participated. The analysis adopted the Leininger proposal supported by Atlas ti and Excel. Two categories emerged, each one supported with two subcategories. Results: Observing satisfied and compromised Indi-genous Embera with the nurse and with the institution providing intercultural health care, allowed a positive reception regarding care received by the nurse, always in conjunction with the intercultural policy and the Indigenous knowledge in a manner that it is recog-nized and considered. Conclusions: Embera Indigenous feel satisfied and compromised when putting in practice the recommendations offered by the nurse, especially when the professional care performed is culturally competent, always considering their context. Although the as-pects in which culturally competent care can influence in a positive manner in the health of the Embera indigenous, aspects relating to a balanced diet are difficult to accomplish in this population group

Resumen Objetivo: Explorar la trayectoria de cuidado popular y la dinámica familiar de familias con adulto mayor en situación de discapacidad y pobreza de tres grupos culturalmente diversos de Colombia. Método: Estudio cualitativo de datos secundarios guiado por Johnston de estudios etnográficos de 2007 hasta 2016. Los datos fueron organizados en el programa N-Vivo y el análisis guiado por Leininger. Resultados: El tema cultural "La telaraña del cuidado familiar: fortaleza y fragilidad" revela cómo la trayectoria de cuidado parte del compromiso filial y del sufrimiento por la triple condición de vejez, discapacidad y pobreza. Las decisiones y acciones son derivadas del conocimiento popular, los exiguos recursos externos y las funestas experiencias con los servicios de salud. La familia logra cierto control adaptándose con ingenio, manteniendo el optimismo ante la pobreza, la desprotección social y política, pero es evidente la vulnerabilidad para el sistema familiar. Conclusiones: El sistema cultural del grupo familiar es determinante en las trayectorias y dinámicas familiares que se tejen en torno al cuidado; en un mundo lleno de adversidades, los sentimientos, la familia y los recursos propios son los amortiguadores para salir adelante. La familia demanda diversos soportes para cuidar y no sucumbir en el intento.
Abstract Objective: Explore the trajectory of popular care and the family dynamics of families with elderly members in situations of disability and poverty in three culturally diverse groups in Colombia. Method: Qualitative study of secondary data guided by Johnston, of ethnographic studies from 2007 through 2016. Data was organized in the N-Vivo program and the analysis guided by Leininger. Results: The cultural topic "The cobweb of family care: strength and fragility" reveals how the trajectory of care starts from filial commitment and the suffering caused by old age, disability and poverty. Decisions and actions are derived from popular knowledge, meager external resources, and dismal experiences with health services. The family achieves some control to adapt with ingenuity, maintaining optimism despite poverty, lack of social and political of protection, but the vulnerability of the family system is evident. Conclusions: The cultural system of the family group are decisive in the family trajectories and dynamics that are woven around the care. In a world full of adversity, feelings, the family and owning resources are the buffers to get ahead. The family demands different supports to care for itself and not succumb in the attempt.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: describir los patrones de cuidado familiar con adultos mayores en condición de discapacidad y pobreza de tres grupos culturalmente diversos en Colombia. Metodología: estudio cualitativo de análisis de datos secundarios basado en 35 documentos recopilados entre el 2007 al 2016. El material fue organizado en el programa N-Vivo. El análisis siguió las cuatro fases propuestas por Leininger. Resultados principales: el patrón cultural "Cuidar entre sufrimiento, generosidad y agradecimiento" evidencia el intenso sufrimiento del cuidador por "verlo así" a la situación del adulto mayor por los tres grupos colombianos, la tensión emocional para el cuidador y el sistema de creencias que moviliza el cuidador para ofrecer cuidado, la constante tensión emocional para evitarle complicaciones en un entorno de exiguos recursos, así como, la gratitud del adulto mayor. Conclusión: el patrón familiar de los tres grupos en Colombia está determinado por el significado atribuido a la situación del adulto mayor y los valores, expectativas y sentimientos de obligación y reciprocidad que mueven a dar y recibir el cuidado. Sin embargo, el contexto de desprotección social debe ser considerado en la atención a éste tipo de población
Objective: to describe the patterns of family care with the elderly in the condition of disability and poverty of three culturally diverse groups in Colombia. Methodology: qualitative study of secondary data analysis based on 35 collected documents from 2017 to 2016. The material was organized in the N-Vivo program. The analysis followed the four phases proposed by Leininger. Main results: the cultural pattern "Caring between suffering, generosity and gratitude" shows the intense suffering of the caregiver by "seeing it like this" in the situation of the older adult by the three Colombian groups, the emotional tension for the caregiver and the belief system that mobilizes the caregiver to provide care, constant emotional tension to avoid complications in an environment of meager resources, as well as the gratitude of the elderly. Main conclusion: the family pattern of the three groups in Colombia is determined by the meaning attributed to the situation of the elderly and the values, expectations and feelings of obligation and reciprocity that move to give and receive care. However, the context of social unprotectedness must be considered in the attention to this type of population

Resumen Objetivo: explorar las experiencias y vivencias sobre la competencia cultural de enfermeras en salud pública. Metodología: metasíntesis cualitativa. Las bases utilizadas fueron: Medline, OvidNursing, OvidJournal, Embase y BVS-LILACS, publicados en inglés, español o portugués, entre 2009 y 2014. Se incluyeron diez estudios y fueron valorados usando el Critical Appraisal Skills Programme en español (CASPe). Se implementaron las tres fases del proceso de metaagregación en la extracción y síntesis de hallazgos. Resultados: los hallazgos fueron agregados en seis categorías y dos resultados: 1) paradojas en la atención de salud pública a personas de diversas culturas; 2) sobrepasando barreras: la osadía de las enfermeras de salud pública. Conclusión: las enfermeras vivenciaron y expresaron la competencia cultural desde lo paradójico que resulta el encuentro con el otro culturalmente diferente, manifestaron apertura a comprender y dar sentido a la cultura, aunque fue difícil generar intervenciones culturalmente competentes.
Abstract Objective: To explore the experiences and life events regarding the cultural competence in the public health practice. Methods: A qualitative meta-synthesis covering the databases Medline, OvidNursing, OvidJournal, Embase and BVS-LILACS, including papers in English, Spanish and Portuguese between 2009 and 2014. Ten studies were included and assessed by using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme in Spanish (CASPe). The three stages of the meta-aggregation programme were applied to do the obtaining and synthesis of findings. Results: The findings were aggregated in six categories and two types of results: 1) paradoxes when providing public health care to people from different culture and 2) going beyond the barriers - the daring by the public health nurses. Conclusion: The nurses experienced and expressed their cultural competence from the paradoxical situation produced when encountering another culturally different people. They showed a stance open to both understand and make sense of the other's culture, even though it was hard to produce culturally competent interventions.

RESUMEN Objetivo Evaluar los efectos de un programa de visita domiciliaria culturalmente adaptado sobre la intensidad del dolor de personas ancianas en situación de discapacidad y pobreza en la población rural de Cáqueza-Cundinamarca. Método Estudio cuasi-experimental con pre-prueba y post-prueba. Participaron 34 mayores de 60 años con deficiencia física o visual y dependencia total o parcial. El programa de visita domiciliaria constó de siete visitas con un promedio de dos horas de duración y un intervalo de 13 a 15 días. Para el manejo del dolor se propuso un sincretismo entre medicamentos, plantas medicinales y remedios caseros. El dolor se evaluó con la escala verbal del dolor y en diario de campo fueron registrados los datos cualitativos. Se aplicó la prueba de rangos asignados de Wilcoxon. Resultados En la pre-prueba el 100 % tenían un tipo de dolor y en la post-prueba hubo efectos favorables y significativos (p.valor <0.001) en la disminución del dolor. Cualitativamente son atribuidos los cambios en parte al desarrollo del programa y otras explicaciones corresponden a los valores y creencias del grupo. Conclusiones El programa de visita domiciliaria adaptado culturalmente deja evidencia cómo ofrecer una respuesta donde se dialoga entre el saber popular y profesional logrando una práctica segura y adaptada al universo cultural de las personas. Latinoamerica requiere de profesionales culturalmente sensibles a las expresiones y percepciones de dolor con curiosidad para explorar en la evidencia las posibilidades terapéuticas de las propuestas provenientes del saber popular.(AU)
ABSTRACT Objective To assess the effects of a culturally adapted home visit program on pain intensity in elderly people with disability and poverty conditions in the rural population of Cáqueza-Cundinamarca, Colombia. Method Quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test. The study included 34 people over 60 years of age with physical or visual impairment and total or partial dependence. The home visit program consisted of seven visits paid for an average of two hours and an interval of 13 to 15 days. A syncretism of drugs, medicinal plants and home remedies was proposed for pain management. Pain was assessed using the verbal pain scale and qualitative data were recorded in the field diary. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was applied. Results During the pre-test, 100 % of the participants presented with a type of pain, while favorable and significant effects were observed in the post-test (p value <0.001) in relation to pain reduction. Changes are qualitatively attributed, partly, to the development of the program and other explanations include values and beliefs of the group. Conclusions The culturally adapted home visits program shows that it is possible to act in contexts where dialogues occur between popular and professional knowledge, achieving a safe practice adapted to the cultural universe of people. Latin America requires professionals culturally sensitive to expressions and perceptions of pain, who are curious to explore, based on evidence, the therapeutic possibilities proposed by popular knowledge.(AU)

Introducción: el accidente cerebrovascular afecta a numerosas personas en el mundo y se constituye en la principal causa de muerte. Los sobrevivientes pueden padecer discapacidad y sufrir modificaciones en las actividades cotidianas. La familia es el principal apoyo del sobreviviente y al ser parte de una misma cultura, construye acciones de cuidado en búsqueda del bienestar. Objetivo: describir las acciones del cuidado popular de las familias con un adulto mayor sobreviviente del primer accidente cerebrovascular. Método: estudio etnográfico, con observación participante y entrevistas en profundidad. Participaron siete familias bogotanas (siete adultos mayores entre los dos y diez meses posteriores al primer accidente cerebrovascular y los siete cuidadores principales respectivos). Resultados: cuidadores y adulto mayor comparten acciones de cuidado para la recuperación, relacionadas con la alimentación, el cuidado personal y la ingesta de medicamentos permeadas por la creencia religiosa, fuente de soporte y vínculo afectivo. Conclusión: conocer el cuidado popular de esta población posibilita proponer acciones culturalmente congruentes con sus valores y creencias para potencializar las capacidades familiares e intermediar en los procesos de tratamiento.
Introduction: Many people in the world suffer a stroke and it is the leading cause of death. Survivors may encounter disabilities and be subject to changes in their daily activities. The family is the main source of support for a stroke survivor and, because it is part of the same culture, the family constructs actions for care in pursuit of well-being. Objective: This research was designed to describe the sort of traditional care families generally provide to elderly survivors of a first stroke. Method: It is an ethnographic study featuring participant observation and in-depth interviews. Seven families from Bogotá took part (seven seniors between two and ten months after their first stroke and their seven respective primary caregivers). Results: The caregivers and the elderly adults in question share actions for recovery related to food, personal care and medication intake that are permeated by religious beliefs, a source of support and bonding. Conclusion: Understanding the type of traditional care provided by this population makes it possible to propose action that is culturally congruent with their values and beliefs, so as to empower the capacity of families and mediate in treatment processes.
