Development, Validation, and Usability of the Chatbot ESTOMABOT to Promote Self-care of People With Intestinal Ostomy.

This study aimed to describe the process of construction, validation, and usability of the chatbot ESTOMABOT to assist in the self-care of patients with intestinal ostomies. Methodological research was conducted in three phases: construction, validation, and usability. The first stage corresponded to the elaboration of a script through a literature review, and the second stage corresponded to face and content validation through a panel of enterostomal therapy nurses. In the third phase, the usability of ESTOMABOT was assessed with the participation of surgical clinic nurses, patients with intestinal elimination ostomies, and information technology professionals, using the System Usability Scale. The ESTOMABOT content reached excellent criteria of adequacy, with percentages of agreement equal to or greater than 90%, which were considered adequate, relevant, and representative. The evaluation of the content validity of the script using the scale content validity index/average proportion method reached a result above 0.90, and the Fleiss κ was excellent ( P < .05). The overall usability score of the chatbot was 81.5, demonstrating excellent usability. The script, developed and incorporated into the ESTOMABOT prototype, achieved satisfactory content validity. The usability of the chatbot was considered to be good, thereby increasing the credibility of the instrument.

A Virtual Assistant in Vaccine Pharmacovigilance: Content and Usability Validation.

This article describes the process of developing and validating a virtual assistant to perform vaccine pharmacovigilance. We performed a pilot study with a panel of 22 healthcare professionals who performed content validation of the virtual assistant prototype. Usability was tested with 126 users, using the System Usability Scale. The data analysis was performed by the agreement rate and content validity index, and the κ test was used to verify the agreement between the evaluators. The content domains of the virtual assistant achieved excellent suitability, relevance, and representativeness criteria, all greater than 86%; the content validity index ranged from 0.81 to 0.98, with an average of 0.90 and an interrater reliability index of 1.00. There was excellent interrater agreement (average κ value, 0.76). The total usability score among users was 80.1, ranging from 78.2 in group 1 (users without reactions to vaccines) to 82.1 in group 2 (users with reactions) ( P = .002). The virtual assistant for vaccine pharmacovigilance obtained a satisfactory level of content validity and usability, giving greater credibility to the claim that this device provides greater surveillance and safety for patients.

Termo adequado para feridas resultantes de processos oncológicos: uma revisão integrativa / Appropriate term for wounds resulting from cancer processes: an integrative review / Término apropiado para heridas resultantes de procesos cancerosos: una revisión integrativa

Objetivo: Identificar o termo adequado para as feridas resultantes de processos oncológicos a partir das evidências da literatura. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da evidência científica. Uma busca foi realizada nos bancos de dados: LILACS, MEDLINE, Scielo e IBECS sobre artigos publicados no período de 2007 a 2019. Resultados: Foram incluídos 18 artigos com desenho de estudos mais frequentes sendo o transversal (n:06). 5 termos foram encontrados, sendo o mais utilizado, "ferida maligna" (n:08). Dentre as características definidoras das feridas, as mais frequentes foram: mau odor (n:18), exsudato (n:17) e dor (n:17). Quanto à causa destas lesões, a maior frequência dos artigos (n:10) apresentaram a infiltração da pele por câncer primário ou metástase. Conclusão: Apesar de vários termos serem empregados para estas lesões, a causa e as características definidoras são as mesmas. O termo "ferida maligna" foi identificado como mais adequado, tanto pela frequência de uso como pela semântica.(AU)

Objective: To identify the appropriate term for wounds resulting from oncological processes based on the evidence in the literature. Methods: This is an integrative review of scientific evidence. A search was carried out in the databases: LILACS, MEDLINE, Scielo and IBECS about articles published in the period from 2007 to 2019. Results: 18 articles were included with the most frequent study design being the cross-sectional (n: 06). 5 terms were found, the most used being "malignant wound" (n: 08). Among the defining characteristics of wounds, the most frequent were: bad odor (n: 18), exudate (n: 17) and pain (n: 17). As for the cause of these injuries, the greater frequency of articles (n: 10) presented skin infiltration by primary cancer or metastasis. Conclusion: Although several terms are used for these injuries, the cause and defining characteristics are the same. The term "malignant wound" was identified as more appropriate, both for its frequency of use and its semantics.(AU)

Correlação entre o tipo de calçado com alterações físicas em pés de diabéticos / Correlation between the type of footwear with physical changes in diabetic feet

Objetivo: verificar a correlação entre o tipo de calçado com alterações cutâneas, musculoesqueléticas e neurolológicas em pés de diabéticos de uma Unidade de Saúde da Família. Metodologia: trata-se de um estudo descritivo, realizado entre setembro de 2018 a julho de 2019 com 106 usuários diabéticos. O exame físico envolveu os sistemas cutâneo, musculoesquelético e neurológico. Quanto a neurológica verificou-se a sensibilidade tátil à pressão por meio de monofilamentos de 10g e a sensibilidade dolorosa por meio do teste de sensação de picadas. Os calçados também foram avaliados por meio de parâmetros pré-estabelecidos. Os dados foram analisados por meio do Statistical Package for the Social Sciencies através do teste Qui-quadrado com correção de Yates. CAAE: 65743417.8.0000.5206; número do parecer (2.009.766). Resultados: verificou-se que a idade mediana dos participantes foi 64,3 anos. 69,81% dos avaliados portavam calçados inadequados e parcialmente adequados. Destes, 36,4% tinham calos (p-valor: 0,006), 10,3% haviam perdido a sensibilidade tátil à pressão e em 9,4% a sensibilidade dolorosa estava ausente (p-valor: 0,003). Conclusão: verificou-se que o uso de calçados inadequados associado a neuropatia diabética periférica e às alterações cutâneas, aumentam o risco de ulceração, instalando um quadro de pé diabético.

Objective: to verify the correlation between the type of footwear with skin, musculoskeletal and neurological changes in diabetic feet at a Family Health Unit. Methodology: this is a descriptive study, carried out between September 2018 to July 2019 with 106 diabetic users. The physical examination involved the cutaneous, musculoskeletal and neurological systems. As for neurological, tactile sensitivity to pressure was verified by means of 10g monofilaments and painful sensitivity by means of the sting sensation test. Footwear was also assessed using pre-established parameters. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences using the Chi-square test with Yates correction. CAAE: 65743417.8.0000.5206; opinion number (2,009,766). Results: it was found that the median age of the participants was 64.3 years. 69.81% of those evaluated had inadequate and partially adequate shoes. Of these, 36.4% had calluses (p-value: 0.006), 10.3% had lost tactile sensitivity to pressure and in 9.4% pain sensitivity was absent (p-value: 0.003). Conclusion: it was found that the use of inappropriate shoes associated with peripheral diabetic neuropathy and skin changes, increase the risk of ulceration, installing a diabetic foot condition.
