ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess clinical-causal validity evidence of the nursing diagnosis, risk for unstable blood glucose level (00179), in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted in 5 primary healthcare units, involving 107 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 60 in the case group and 47 in the control group. Causality was determined by the association between sociodemographic and clinical factors, risk factors related to the nursing diagnosis, and the occurrence of unstable blood glucose level. An association was considered when the risk factor had a p-value of <0.05 and odds ratio >1. RESULTS: Risk factors, such as stress, inadequate physical activity, and low adherence to therapeutic regimen, were prevalent in the sample. Time since diagnosis between 1-5 and 6-10 years, multiracial ethnicity, and the risk factor of low adherence to therapeutic regimen increased the likelihood of the outcome. Completion of high school education was identified as a protective factor. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis, risk for unstable blood glucose level, has been successfully established, revealing a clear association between sociodemographic and clinical factors and the risk factors inherent to the nursing diagnosis. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The results contribute to advancing scientific knowledge related to nursing education, research, and practice and provide support for the evolution of nursing care processes for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.


OBJETIVO: Avaliar a evidência de validade clínico­causal do diagnóstico de enfermagem, risco para nível instável de glicose no sangue (00179), em indivíduos com diabetes mellitus tipo 2. MÉTODO: Foi realizado um estudo caso­controle em cinco unidades básicas de saúde, envolvendo 107 indivíduos com diabetes mellitus tipo 2, 60 no grupo caso e 47 no grupo controle. A causalidade foi determinada pela associação entre fatores sociodemográficos e clínicos, fatores de risco relacionados ao diagnóstico de enfermagem e a ocorrência de nível instável de glicose no sangue. Uma associação foi considerada quando o fator de risco tinha um valor de p < 0.05 e odds ratio > 1. RESULTADOS: Fatores de risco como estresse, atividade física inadequada e baixa adesão ao regime terapêutico foram predominantes na amostra. O tempo desde o diagnóstico entre 1 e 5 anos e 6 a 10 anos, a etnia parda e o fator de risco baixa adesão ao regime terapêutico aumentaram a probabilidade do resultado. A conclusão do ensino médio foi identificada como um fator de proteção. CONCLUSÕES: A validação clínica do diagnóstico de enfermagem, risco para nível instável de glicose no sangue, foi estabelecida com sucesso, revelando uma clara associação entre fatores sociodemográficos e clínicos e os fatores de risco inerentes ao diagnóstico de enfermagem. IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A PRÁTICA DE ENFERMAGEM: Os resultados contribuem para o avanço do conhecimento científico relacionado à educação, à pesquisa e à prática de enfermagem e fornecem suporte para a evolução dos processos de cuidados de enfermagem para indivíduos com diabetes.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: To analyze patient perception of functional status related to activity and participation of rehabilitated and nonrehabilitated individuals with peripheral arterial disease. METHODS: Cross-sectional study assessing the activity and participation domain using the Human Activity Profile (HAP) questionnaire and the Participation Scale, respectively. Groups were compared using Chi-squared test and unpaired t-test. RESULTS: A total of 87 individuals (36 rehabilitated) with 65.28 ± 8.29 years (66.7% male) were included. HAP classified 58.6% of individuals with weak or inactive physical activity level, and approximately half of the sample did not have participation restriction. HAP scores and Participation Scale (locomotion inside and outside home) were lower in nonrehabilitated than in rehabilitated individuals. CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with peripheral arterial disease presented little participation restriction and a great activity limitation, the last one being more evident among nonrehabilitated.

ABSTRACT

Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are a unique type of fluids that can quickly transform into a solid-like state when subjected to forces (rate dependent). These fluids are created by dispersing micro and nanoparticles within a medium. When the force is removed, they return to their original liquid state. Shear thickening fluids can absorb a significant amount of impact energy, making them useful for reducing vibrations and serving as a damper. This study provides a comprehensive and brief overview of existing literature on shear thickening fluids, including their properties, classification, and the rheological mechanisms behind the shear thickening behaviour. It also examines the use of these fluids in various applications, such as improving resistance to stabs and spikes, protecting against low- and high-velocity impacts, and as a new medium for energy dissipation in industries such as battery safety, vibration control and adaptive structures. Lastly, this work reviews the promising combination of STFs with cork. Given the sustainability of cork and its energy absorption capacity, cork-STF composites are a promising solution for various impact-absorbing applications. Overall, the paper underscores the versatility and potential of STFs, and advocates for further research and exploration.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine intraocular pressure (IOP) and tear production, as well as to compare the IOP obtained with the TonoVet Plus® (rebound) with the Tono-Pen Avia® (applanation) tonometers. ANIMALS: Twenty-five Mini Lionhead rabbits (n = 50 eyes). PROCEDURE: Tear production was measured at 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. by using the STT. The IOP reading was performed with the rebound tonometer, followed by the applanation tonometer, at 6:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. Regression analysis, analysis of variance (anova) and Bland-Altman statistics were used. RESULTS: Daily tear production was 10.25 ± 3.75 mm/min, with no differences among the moments evaluated. Average daily IOP was 17.7 ± 3.08 mmHg with the TonoVet Plus® and 11.5 ± 4.56 mmHg with the Tono-Pen Avia®. IOP values were higher at the beginning and end of the day with both tonometers. CONCLUSION: The IOP values are higher with the TonoVet Plus® tonometer. The reference values of IOP and tear production obtained in this work may support the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of ocular disorders in pet Mini Lionhead rabbits.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: In December 2019, an outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), occurred in the city of Wuhan, China. On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. In October 2021, with the advancement of the disease, the World Health Organization defined the post-COVID-19 condition. The post-COVID-19 condition occurs in individuals with a history of probable or confirmed infection with SARS-CoV-2, usually 3 months after the onset of the disease. The chronicity of COVID-19 has increased the importance of recognizing caregivers and their needs. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review following international guidelines to map the models of support for caregivers and patients with the post-COVID-19 condition. The searches were conducted in electronic databases and the grey literature. The Population, Concept, and Context framework was used: Population: patients with the post-COVID-19 condition and caregivers; Concept: models of caregiver and patient support; and Context: post-COVID-19 condition. A total of 3258 records were identified through the electronic search, and 20 articles were included in the final sample. RESULTS: The studies approached existing guidelines and health policies for post-COVID-19 condition patients and support services for patients and home caregivers such as telerehabilitation, multidisciplinary care, hybrid models of care, and follow-up services. Only one study specifically addressed the home caregivers of patients with this clinical condition. CONCLUSIONS: The review indicates that strategies such as telerehabilitation are effective for training and monitoring the patient-family dyad, but the conditions of access and digital literacy must be considered.

ABSTRACT

Self-care agency plays an important role in an individual's health. Considering the particularities of their education, it can be a protective factor for the mental health of medical students. This study aims to validate the Portuguese version of the Appraisal of Self-care Agency Scale-Revised (ASAS-R) in Portuguese medical students. A cross-sectional, quantitative, and analytical online study was conducted between 23 April 2021, and 15 July 2021. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to test the internal structure of the ASAS-R. Correlations with the SHS (Subjective Happiness Scale), SWLS (Satisfaction with Life Scale), and MHI (Mental Health Inventory) were calculated using Pearson's coefficient so as to test convergent validity. Internal consistency was evaluated using inter-item correlation, corrected item-total correlation, and Cronbach's alpha. The total sample included 781 individuals. EFA yielded a 3-factor solution accounting for 53.9% of the explained variance. Pearson's coefficients obtained between the 3 factors of ASAS-R and the total scores of the 3 construct-related scales demonstrated adequate convergent validity. Total Cronbach's alpha value was 0.85, while the Cronbach's alpha of the three factors was 0.81, 0.55, and 0.83, respectively. This study demonstrated that ASAS-R is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring self-care agency among Portuguese medical students.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Os sistemas de saúde foram desafiados a desenvolver estratégias organizacionais para a prestação de cuidados cirúrgicos. Objetivo: Apresentar as estratégias dos serviços de saúde no que se refere às práticas de cuidados cirúrgicos em tempos de pandemia de COVID-19. Materiais e métodos: Revisão integrativa, desenvolvida em seis etapas, cuja busca dos artigos ocorreu na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, SciELO, PubMed e ScienceDirect. Os descritores controlados em saúde adotados foram "Centros Cirúrgicos" e "Infecções por Coronavírus", de acordo com os sistemas DeCS e MeSH Terms. Foram selecionados 60 artigos de 405 estudos encontrados. Resultados: As principais estratégias utilizadas pelos serviços de saúde foram: a suspensão e adiamento de cirurgias eletivas durante as ondas de contágio da doença; e a triagem cuidadosa dos pacientes para COVID-19 antes e após intervenções cirúrgicas. Discussão: A suspensão e o adiamento de cirurgias eletivas devem ser avaliados com cautela pela equipe de saúde, de forma individualizada, para cada paciente, visto que situações clínicas não urgentes podem agravar ao longo do tempo, aumentando as chances de morbimortalidade desses pacientes. Conclusão: A triagem dos pacientes e dos profissionais da saúde para COVID-19 são estratégias importantes para evitar a contaminação desses sujeitos. A suspensão e o adiamento de cirurgias eletivas, durante as ondas de contágio por COVID-19, são recomendados para aumentar a capacidade de leitos disponíveis para pacientes graves hospitalizados por essa doença. Essa recomendação também auxilia no remanejamento de profissionais desse setor para as unidades com a demanda de cuidados de saúde mais elevada.


Introduction: Health systems were challenged to develop organizational strategies for the delivery of surgical care. Objective: To present the strategies of health services with regard to surgical care practices in times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: An integrative review was conducted following six stages; the search for articles was performed using the Virtual Health Library, SciELO, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The science descriptors adopted were "Surgicenters" and "Coronavirus Infections," according to the DeCS-MeSH terms system. We selected 60 articles from 405 studies found. Results:The main strategies used by the health services were to suspend and postpone elective surgeries during waves of disease transmission and careful screening of patients with COVID-19 before and after surgery. Discussion: The suspension and postponement of elective surgeries should be carefully evaluated by the health team, individually for each patient since non-urgent clinical situations may worsen over time, increasing the chances of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Conclusions: Screening patients and health professionals for COVID-19, according to the reality of surgical units, centers or outpatient clinics, is an important strategy to avoid contamination of these subjects. The suspension and postponement of elective surgeries, during the waves of contagion by COVID-19, is recommended to increase the capacity of beds available for critically ill patients hospitalized for this disease. This recommendation also helps in the reassignment of professionals in this sector to the units with the highest demand for health care.

Resultados: Las principales estrategias utilizadas por los servicios de salud fueron: la suspensión y postergación de cirugías electivas durante las oleadas de contagio de la enfermedad; y la detección cuidadosa de pacientes para COVID-19 antes y después de las intervenciones quirúrgicas. Discusión: La suspensión y postergación de cirugías electivas debe ser cuidadosamente evaluada por el equipo de salud, ya que situaciones clínicas no urgentes pueden empeorar con el tiempo, aumentando las posibilidades de morbilidad y mortalidad en esos pacientes. Conclusión: El triaje de dos pacientes y dos profesionales de la salud para COVID-19 son estrategias importantes para evitar la contaminación de estos sujetos. Se recomienda la suspensión y postergación de cirugías electivas, durante las olas de contagio por COVID-19, para aumentar la capacidad de camas disponibles para pacientes críticos hospitalizados por esta enfermedad. Esta recomendación también ayuda en la reasignación de profesionales de este sector a las unidades con mayor demanda de atención en salud.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: evaluar la implementación de un juego educativo para el reconocimiento temprano de la enfermedad cerebrovascular aguda en personas con diabetes mellitus e hipertensión arterial. Materiales y métodos: estudio con diseño cuasiexperimental, tipo antes-después, realizado con un grupo de 213 adultos con hipertensión y/o diabetes, bajo la modalidad acción educativa, entre junio de 2018 y junio de 2020. Las sesiones de acción se realizaron en cuatro Unidades Básicas de Salud. Esta actividad se realizó en dos momentos: primero, la construcción y validación de una tecnología sanitaria en forma de juego educativo; segundo, la implementación de acciones. Resultados: la mayoría de los participantes eran mujeres (70,89%),con una edad media de 60,29 años. El 86,38% de los participantes logró reconocer tres o más signos y síntomas de accidente cerebrovascular y el 93,89% comenzó a identificar los principales factores de riesgo de esta enfermedad. Una gran proporción de los participantes presentaron un logro de aproximadamente 95% al realizar la posprueba. Sin embargo, no se registró una diferencia estadística significativa entre las medias obtenidas en los grupos durante la preprueba y la posprueba (p=0,9967). Conclusiones: la implementación del juego educativo propició un aumento en los puntajes obtenidos por los participantes sobre el reconocimiento temprano de la enfermedad cerebrovascular aguda y sus factores de riesgo, según muestran las evaluaciones realizadas antes y después del juego.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To present the knowledge produced on challenges of health services for maintaining surgical care practices in times of the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This is an integrative literature review, performed with descriptors 'Operating rooms' and 'Coronavirus Infections' in the MEDLINE/PubMed Central, IBECS, LILACS, BDENF, Coleta SUS, BIGG, BINACIS, SciELO, PubMed, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library databases. RESULTS: Of the 405 studies analyzed, 27 met the inclusion criteria. The main challenges for surgical services during the pandemic were: (i) rearrangement of general practice in surgical units; (ii) administration and management of resources and elective surgeries; (iii) follow-up and control of preoperative patients to medium term; (iv) maintenance of patients' and health professionals' autonomy and mental health in this context; and (v) teaching health residents in the operating room. CONCLUSIONS: For surgical care services, the challenges caused by managing the high demand of patients in need of care resulted in the transfer of own resources to other units and the consequent hiring of professionals to meet the demand for these services due to the damming of postponed elective surgeries. This knowledge will allow us to propose strategies in decision making in this scenario, considering the new waves that may arise from this disease.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To analyze the Nursing Diagnosis Ineffective Health Management in people with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Cross-sectional correlational study conducted with 112 patients from August 2018 to April 2019 in a primary healthcare facility, Ceará, Brazil. Used a structured interview and a form created by the authors specifically for the study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the data analysis. FINDINGS: The Nursing Diagnosis Ineffective Health Management was present in 63.4% of the patients. The defining characteristics with the highest prevalence were difficulty with prescribed regimen (61.6%) and failure to include a treatment regimen in daily living (60.7%). The following significant associations were found: gender and failure to take action to reduce risk factors (P = 0.003), medication and difficulty with prescribed regimen (P = 0.003), and high blood pressure and ineffective choices in daily living for meeting health goals (P = 0.005). The following defining characteristics were associated with the presence of Ineffective Health Management: difficulty with prescribed regimen (P = 0.001), failure to take action to reduce risk factors (P = 0.008), ineffective choices in daily living for meeting health goals (P = 0.001), and failure to include the treatment regimen in daily living (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The Nursing Diagnosis Ineffective Health Management had a high prevalence in the sample. Its defining characteristics are associated with the nursing diagnosis itself and with sociodemographic and clinical variables. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Ineffective Health Management should be considered a priority for developing and implementing nursing care for people with type 2 diabetes, especially in primary health care settings.

ABSTRACT

El término cuidado deriva del latín "cogitatu", referido a algo pensado e imaginado, a ladedicación y al celo. El cuidado de la salud impregna el modelo teórico y práctico, considerandoal individuo en su totalidad y no sólo el proceso salud-enfermedad, y ha sido identificado comoobjeto de la enfermería. En este contexto, se discute la importancia de la ética para el autocuidadode la salud, alejándose de la hegemonía de los referentes normativos que dictan cómo deben serlas relaciones en el campo de la salud, tomando como referencia teórica el análisis de la ética, elsaber y el poder realizado por el filósofo Michel Foucault. En este sentido, es fundamental queexista una comunicación clara y eficaz entre estos actores, para que la atención se realice de formaefectiva. Por lo tanto, es cada vez más importante discutir estos procesos de la práctica del cuidadode enfermería, la ética, la humanización y la comunicación, para que se pueda adquirir másconocimiento sobre el tema y así entender su importancia.(AU)


The term care derives from the Latin "cogitatu", referring to something thought andimagined, to dedication and zeal. Health care permeates the theoretical and practical model,considering the individual as a whole and not only the health-disease process, and has beenidentified as an object of nursing. In this context, the importance of ethics for health self-care isdiscussed, moving away from the hegemony of the normative referents that dictate howrelationships should be in the field of health, taking as a theoretical reference the analysis of ethics,knowledge and power realized by the philosopher Michel Foucault. In this sense, it is essentialthat there is clear and effective communication between these actors, so that the care is carried outeffectively. Therefore, it is increasingly important to discuss these processes of nursing carepractice, ethics, humanization and communication, so that more knowledge can be acquired on thesubject and thus understand its importance.(AU)

ABSTRACT

AIM: To describe the clinical features, treatment and outcomes of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in children admitted to the national referral hospital in Dili, Timor-Leste. METHODS: This prospective study documented cases of ARF and RHD in children aged 14 years and under who were admitted between June 2017 and May 2019. ARF was diagnosed using an adapted version of the 2015 Jones criteria and presumed (rather than proven) exposure to group A Streptococcus. Clinical and echocardiographic findings, comorbidities and discharge outcomes are reported. RESULTS: A total of 63 patients were admitted with ARF or RHD; 54 were diagnosed with RHD for the first time. Median age was 11 years (range 3-14); 48% were female. Of those with echocardiograms, 56/58 had RHD, 55/56 (98%) had mitral regurgitation (37/55 (67%) severe), 11/56 (20%) had mitral stenosis and 43/56 (77%) had aortic regurgitation. Left ventricular dysfunction (55%), pulmonary hypertension (64%) and cardiac failure (78%) were common. Four (6%) patients died in hospital, and 30/59 (51%) of surviving patients were lost to follow up. CONCLUSIONS: Community echocardiography screening has reported a high prevalence of undetected mild to moderate cases of RHD in Timor-Leste, whereas this hospital study documents mostly severe disease among hospitalised patients with a high case fatality rate and loss to follow up. RHD is a significant health problem in Timor-Leste and improved recognition and diagnosis, as well as effective delivery of treatment and follow-up are imperative.
