ABSTRACT

This study aimed to analyze the role of nurses in hospital management in the face of COVID-19. The study had a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory approach. The setting was a hospital that was completely transformed to care for patients with COVID-19. At the time of data collection, ten nurses managed the services, and all participated in the semi-structured interview. After thematic analysis, the data were presented in three categories, representing the elements of Donabedian's triad: structure, process, and result. Category 1 highlighted the hospital structure reconfiguration based on material and people management; category 2 addressed the work process restructuring to achieve goals with safety and quality; and category 3 focused on nurses' experiences in describing the results achieved and expected. The analysis highlighted the importance of teamwork, involvement, and adaptation of managers in the face of the challenges of a new and life-threatening disease, scarce resources, and the complexity of human relationships in the crisis. In transformational leadership, these nurses encouraged behavior change, professional growth, and resilience.


Objetivou-se analisar a atuação dos enfermeiros na gestão hospitalar frente à COVID-19. O estudo teve uma abordagem qualitativa, do tipo descritivo e exploratório. O cenário foi um hospital que se transformou totalmente para atendimento de pacientes com COVID-19. No momento da coleta de dados, dez enfermeiros estavam à frente da gestão dos serviços, e todos participaram da entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados, após análise temática, foram apresentados em três categorias representativas dos elementos da tríade de Donabedian, ou seja, estrutura, processo e resultado. A categoria 1 realçou a reconfiguração da estrutura hospitalar a partir da gestão de materiais e das pessoas; a categoria 2 abordou a reestruturação do processo de trabalho para alcance das metas com segurança e qualidade; e a categoria 3 focou nas experiências dos enfermeiros na descrição dos resultados alcançados e esperados. A análise evidenciou a importância do trabalho em equipe, do envolvimento e da adaptação do gestor diante dos desafios da doença nova e ameaçadora da vida, dos recursos escassos e da complexidade das relações humanas na crise. Na liderança transformacional esses enfermeiros incentivaram a mudança de comportamento, o crescimento profissional, e resiliência.

ABSTRACT

A long-term indwelling catheter may be indicated in clinical situations, such as chronic diseases of the genitourinary or neurological systems. In addition to the risks of infection, trauma, and bleeding, a catheter's permanence can affect psycho-emotional and socioeconomic dimensions. We aimed to understand how the need to use a long-term indwelling catheter affects this patient's self-perception, interrelationships, and self-care. We carried out a qualitative, descriptive study based on interviews with 17 patients, and applied thematic analysis and complex thinking. The different prognoses and expectations regarding the catheter influenced self-perception, adaptation, acceptance, or denial. The presence of a catheter, whether as a curative measure or for comfort, can affect self-image and sexuality, and generate insecurities and uncertainties, which require understanding the multidimensionality of situations that suffer interference from the personal, family, and social environment, as well as health systems' capacity to deal with it. Despite the challenges, the majority of participants reported a favorable disposition towards self-care, whether to enable catheter removal or to prevent injuries in lifelong indications.


O cateter vesical de longa permanência pode ser indicado em situações clínicas, como nas doenças crônicas do sistema genitourinário ou neurológico. Além dos riscos de infecção, traumas e sangramentos, a permanência do cateter pode afetar dimensões psicoemocionais e socioeconômicas. Objetivamos compreender como a necessidade de uso do cateter urinário por um longo prazo afeta a autopercepção, as interrelações e o autocuidado deste paciente. Realizamos um estudo qualitativo, descritivo, a partir da entrevista de 17 pacientes, e aplicamos a análise temática e o pensamento complexo. Os diferentes prognósticos e as expectativas em relação ao cateter influenciaram a autopercepção, a adaptação, sua aceitação ou negação. A presença do cateter, seja como medida curativa ou para conforto, pode afetar a autoimagem e a sexualidade, gerar inseguranças e incertezas, que requerem compreensão da multidimensionalidade das situações, que sofrem interferências do meio pessoal, familiar e social, bem como da capacidade dos sistemas de saúde para o seu enfrentamento. Apesar dos desafios, a maioria dos participantes relatou disposição favorável para o autocuidado, seja para viabilizar retirada do cateter, ou para prevenir agravos em indicações vitalícias.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated peripheral intravenous catheter insertion by licensed practical nurses in a simulated scenario. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was performed in a general hospital's simulation center located in Brazil, from January to October 2020. The authors developed a tool from the leading guidelines to measure peripheral intravenous catheter insertion performance in 60 licensed practical nurses. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, with proportions for categorical variables and analytical statistics to denote significance, using SPSS version 22.0. Ethical aspects were respected. Despite the sample comprising professionals who declared an average experience with peripheral intravenous catheter insertion of 6.4 years, at least 50% failed in some tool element. This low score on peripheral intravenous catheter insertion performance is because automation is possible without efforts to improve it. Adding years of practice does not generate better performance. The licensed practical nurses' performance was lower than expected, considering their reported experience, which poses a risk to patient safety. The training of these professionals needs to be discussed in countries where the practice is legal. Skills training should include simulation to approximate clinical practice; nurses must exercise their role in supervising the team.

ABSTRACT

Actions for patient safety at the end of life must be aligned with the principles of palliative care, such as promoting comfort and quality of life. Faced with this complex process, health professionals need to seek the central relationships of the concepts of safety and palliative care to the end of life, in line with the wishes and expectations of the person and family members/caregivers, as well as with available resources and the capacity of services but, above all, reinforcing the importance of a non-reductionist care approach, which encompasses the various aspects inherent to humans. Hence, we present a new vision of patient safety in palliative care at the end of life based on the complex thinking of Edgar Morin, scientific evidence, and health policies in the global context. We discuss the deficiencies and disjunctions in thought and practice of palliative care at the end of life and patient safety, as well as the challenges for the conjunction of these complex themes, to finally present potential ways to apply complex thinking in the safe care of the patient at the end of life. The problematization of different aspects for the interposition of knowledge about patient safety in palliative care at the end of life portrays the existence of intersubjective connections and the multidimensionality that permeate the guidelines, actions and relationships that sustain the disciplines.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: to achieve the degree of saturation in study that applied the grounded theory. Methods: qualitative research, carried out in four Family Health Units, between June 2018 and May 2019. The data from the interviews with 30 health professionals and non-participant observation were coded in the stages: open, axial and integration. Results: the degree of saturation was achieved by two conceptual models - theoretical saturation and inductive thematic. Theoretical saturation was considered: the development of conceptual codes and observation, in the collection and analysis of data, when they generated new categories/subcategories or only indicated increasing instances. For thematic inductive saturation, the use of new codes based on each interview stood out. Final Considerations: the visual layout for the number of codes, the theoretical scope of the concepts and the delimitation of the sample groups guided the identification of the degree of saturation for the development of the conceptual body that supported the substantive theory.


RESUMEN Objetivos: alcanzar grado de saturación en estudio que aplicó la teoría fundamentada. Métodos: investigación cualitativa, realizada en cuatro Unidades Salud de la Familia, entre junio de 2018 y mayo de 2019. Datos de entrevistas con 30 profesionales de salud y observación no participante fueron codificados en las etapas: abierta, axial e integración. Resultados: grado de saturación fue alcanzado por dos modelos conceptuales - saturación teórica y temática inductiva. Fueron considerados para la saturación teórica: el desarrollo de códigos conceptuales y observación, en la recolecta y análisis de los datos, cuando generaban nuevas categorías/subcategorías o apenas indicaban instancias crecientes. Para la saturación temática inductiva, destacó la utilización de nuevos códigos basados en cada entrevista. Consideraciones Finales: la esquematización visual para la cantidad de códigos, inclusión teórica de los conceptos y delimitación de los grupos muestrales orientó la identificación del grado de saturación al desarrollo del cuerpo conceptual que sustentó la teoría sustantiva.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand the meanings and significance attributed by people with HIV/aids to the process of living with this virus/disease. Methods: qualitative and exploratory study, carried out in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Grounded Theory and the Symbolic Interactionism were used. Data were collected in a semistructured interview and through non-participant observation, from August 2017 to May 2018. 29 patients participated. Results: living with HIV/AIDS is a social phenomenon in which it is not possible to disconnect the process of adapting to the disease from the social relations one (re)constructs during life. It also involves stigmatization, rejection, and isolation. Final Considerations: understanding the meanings of this process is a positive influence for proactive behavior and resilience, not only in regard to the care concerning the presence of the virus and the uninterrupted need to adhere to medication, but also in the way to deal with the social values that reproduce previous models, which, in turn, can help improve self-knowledge.


RESUMEN Objetivos: comprender los significados y sentidos atribuidos por personas con VIH/SIDA sobre el proceso de convivir con ese virus/enfermedad. Métodos: estudio cualitativo, exploratorio, realizado en Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Utilizado la Teoría Fundamentada en los Datos e Interaccionismo Simbólico. Datos recolectados por entrevista semiestructurada y observación no participante, entre agosto de 2017 y mayo de 2018. Participaron 29 pacientes. Resultados: convivir con VIH/SIDA es un fenómeno social, en que no hay posibilidad de desvincular el proceso de adaptación a la enfermedad de las relaciones sociales (re)construidas durante la vida, aún acompañado de estigmatización, rechazo y aislamiento. Consideraciones Finales: comprender los significados de ese proceso de convivencia favorece el comportamiento proactivo y resiliencia, no solo cuanto a cuidados delante la presencia del virus y la necesidad continua de adherir a medicamentos, pero también al lidiar con los valores sociales que reproducen modelos, los cuales, en contrapartida, pueden ayudar en el autoconocimiento.

Os dados foram coletados por entrevista semiestruturada e observação não participante, entre agosto de 2017 e maio de 2018. Participaram 29 pacientes. Resultados: conviver com o HIV/aids é um fenômeno social, onde não há possibilidade de desvincular o processo de adaptação à doença das relações sociais (re)construídas ao longo da vida, ainda acompanhado de estigmatização, rejeição e isolamento. Considerações Finais: compreender os significados deste processo de convivência favorece o comportamento proativo e a resiliência, não só em relação aos cuidados diante da presença do vírus e à necessidade ininterrupta de aderir aos medicamentos, mas também ao lidar com os valores sociais que reproduzem modelos, que em contrapartida, podem ajudar no autoconhecimento.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To reflect about the do-not-resuscitation order at COVID-19 in Brazil, under bioethical focus and medical and nursing professional ethics. METHOD: Reflection study based on the principlist bioethics of Beauchamps and Childress and in professional ethics, problematizing actions, and decisions of non-resuscitation in the pandemic. RESULTS: It is important to consider the patient's clinic, appropriation of treatment goals for people with comorbidities, elderly people, with less chance of surviving to resuscitation, or less quality of life, with the palliative care team, to avoid dysthanasia, use of scarce resources and greater exposure of professionals to contamination. CONCLUSION: COVID-19 increased the vulnerabilities of professionals and patients, impacting professional decisions and conduct more widely than important values ​​such as the restriction of freedom. It propelled the population in general to rethink ethical and bioethical values ​​regarding life and death, interfering in decisions about them, supported by human dignity.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: to understand the meanings that nursing students and professors attribute to research and research teaching in the context of undergraduate studies. METHODS: this is a qualitative research, whose theoretical and methodological frameworks were Complexity Theory and Grounded Theory. Sixteen students and 14 undergraduate nursing professors from a public university in Rio de Janeiro were interviewed. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. RESULTS: causes, actions, and interactions related to research and teaching research in undergraduate nursing are connected with learning science for nursing praxis, which ranges from students' ability to question to their and their professors' understanding of social demands guided by science. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: nursing professors and students signify research and teaching of this as a structure for the training of nurses for the critical professional capacity needed to meet social demands.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the perspectives that affect the transition to exclusive palliative care for women with breast cancer. METHODS: qualitative, descriptive study, carried out in a public health institution in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between December 2018 and May 2019. 28 health professionals were interviewed. Content analysis was used in the thematic modality. RESULTS: the operational difficulties were linked to the fragmented physical structure, the late and unplanned nature of the referral, the ineffective communication, and the deficit of human resources. In general, women and family members resist referral because they do not know palliative care. There is no consensus among oncologists on the most appropriate time to stop systemic therapy for disease control. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the perceived difficulties configure an abrupt referral, accompanied by false hopes and, often, limited to end-of-life care.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the occurrence of occlusions in peripherally inserted central venous catheters in pediatric patients in antineoplastic chemotherapy. METHOD: Retrospective cohort, with 156 medical records of patients aged 0-19 years who underwent outpatient chemotherapy between 2013 and 2017 by this catheter, in a hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. RESULTS: 219 catheters were registered. Occlusion occurred in 141 (64.4%) catheters; 63 (44.7%) were removed because of occlusion, either alone or associated with another factor. Total occlusion alone led to the removal of 27 (12.3%) catheters. Occlusion was associated with: catheter dwell time, cyclophosphamide, neuroblastoma, bone metastasis and number of chemotherapy sessions. CONCLUSION: Occlusion is an important complication because it occurred in more than half of the catheters and was one of the main reasons for withdrawal. The identified risk factors may guide the care to prevent this complication.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the perspectives that affect the transition to exclusive palliative care for women with breast cancer. Methods: qualitative, descriptive study, carried out in a public health institution in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between December 2018 and May 2019. 28 health professionals were interviewed. Content analysis was used in the thematic modality. Results: the operational difficulties were linked to the fragmented physical structure, the late and unplanned nature of the referral, the ineffective communication, and the deficit of human resources. In general, women and family members resist referral because they do not know palliative care. There is no consensus among oncologists on the most appropriate time to stop systemic therapy for disease control. Final considerations: the perceived difficulties configure an abrupt referral, accompanied by false hopes and, often, limited to end-of-life care.


RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar las perspectivas que tocan el proceso de transición al cuidado paliativo exclusivo de mujeres con cáncer de mama. Métodos: estudio cualitativo, descriptivo, realizado en institución de salud pública en Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, entre diciembre de 2018 y mayo de 2019. Fueron entrevistados 28 profesionales de salud. Utilizó el análisis de contenido en la modalidad temático. Resultados: las dificultades operacionales atraillaron a la estructura física fragmentada, al carácter tardío y no planeado del encaminamiento, a la comunicación ineficaz y déficit de recursos humanos. En general, mujeres y familiares resisten al encaminamiento por no conocieren el cuidado paliativo. No hay consenso de los oncólogos acerca del momento más adecuado para interrumpir la terapia sistémica al control de la enfermedad. Consideraciones finales: las dificultades percibidas configuran el encaminamiento abrupto, acompañado de falsas esperanzas y, muchas veces, limitado a los cuidados en el fin de la vida.
