Developing and validating a 2D digital version of the Brazilian Children's anxiety questionnaire.

PURPOSE: This study aims to transpose the printed Brazilian Children's Anxiety Questionnaire (CAQ BR) into a 2D digital format, validate it with nurses and hospitalized children, and analyze the association between the printed and 2D digital format versions. DESIGN AND METHOD: This is a descriptive and multicentric study, conducted from 2021 to 2022 on working in pediatric care at two hospitals in Brazil. The nurses analyzed the printed and digital instruments and subsequently applied them to a child and proposed suggestions. A cutoff score of 0.80 on the content validity index was used; items that scored an average lower than the CVI in the study were adequate. Eighty children responded to the questionnaires sequentially according to the randomization table. A 90% agreement rate was used. RESULTS: The digital instrument was validated in content by 51 experts, with a CVI of 0.95. Face validation data for 80 children (mean age = 7.9 years) shows a 90% agreement rate. The intraclass correlation index for the general score was 0.87 and 95% CI (0.79-0.91), which shows good stability of the children's responses in both questionnaires. In addition, 59% (n = 47) of the children reported a preference for the digital questionnaire. CONCLUSIONS: The digital CAQ BR can be used as an audiovisual instrument by nurses when implementing the systematization of nursing care in pediatrics. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The digital 2D version was successfully applied and can be used in hospitals to measure children's self-reported anxiety.

Effect of Educational Strategies on the Sleep Quality of People with Diabetes: Randomized Clinical Trial / Efecto de estrategias educativas en la calidad del sueño en personas con diabetes: ensayo clínico aleatorizado / Efeito de estratégias educativas na qualidade do sono de pessoas com diabetes: ensaio clínico randomizado

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effect of educational strategies on sleep quality and its relation to diabetes-related distress and glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Materials and methods: Randomized clinical trial involving two groups. Group 1 (G1, n = 45) received verbal guidance and leaflets on sleep hygiene strategies and group 2 (G2, n = 46) received usual health care guidelines on self-care with the feet. Sleep was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory and diabetes-related distress by the Diabetes Distress Scale. Linear mixed-effects models and linear regression model were used for the statistical analysis. Results: At the end of the follow-up, sleep quality improvement (p = 0.02) was verified in G1. Low diabetes-related distress score (p = 0.03), being male (p = 0.02), belonging to G1 (p = 0.002), and age (p = 0.04) contributed to better sleep quality. Conclusion: Educational guidelines on sleep hygiene in patients with DM2 were effective in improving sleep quality, measured by the PSQI instrument and emotional stress related to diabetes as assessed by the Diabetes Distress Scale.

RESUMEN Objetivo: evaluar el efecto de estrategias educativas en la calidad del sueño y su relación con el estrés emocional asociado con diabetes en personas con DM2. Materiales y método: ensayo clínico aleatorizado con dos grupos. El grupo 1 (G1, n = 45) tuvo orientaciones verbales y folletos acerca de estrategias de higiene del sueño; el grupo 2 (G2, n = 46), orientaciones usuales de las unidades de salud sobre autocuidado con los pies. El sueño se evaluó por el Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory (PSQI-BR), y el estrés emocional, por el Diabetes Distress Scale (B-DDS). Se emplearon modelos lineales de efectos mixtos y modelo de regresión lineal para análisis estadísticas. Resultados: al término del seguimiento, se encontró mejoría de la calidad del sueño (p = 0,02) en el G1. Bajo índice de estrés emocional (p = 0,03), ser del sexo masculino (p = 0,02), pertenecer al G1 (p = 0,002) y edad (p = 0,04) contribuyeron a mejor calidad del sueño. Conclusión: orientaciones educativas acerca de la higiene del sueño en pacientes con DM2 fueron efectivas en la mejoría de la puntuación de la calidad del sueño, mensurada por el instrumento PSQI-BR, y del estrés emocional relacionado con diabetes, evaluado por el instrumento del B-DDS.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar o efeito de estratégias educativas sobre a qualidade do sono e sua relação com o estresse emocional associado com o diabetes em pessoas com DM2. Materiais e método: ensaio clínico randomizado com dois grupos. O grupo 1 (G1, n = 45) recebeu orientações verbais e folhetos sobre estratégias de higiene do sono; o grupo 2 (G2, n = 46), orientações usuais das unidades de saúde sobre autocuidado com os pés. O sono foi avaliado pelo Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory (PSQI-BR), e o estresse emocional, pelo Diabetes Distress Scale (B-DDS). Utilizaram-se modelos lineares de efeitos mistos e modelo de regressão linear para as análises estatísticas. Resultados: no final do seguimento, verificou-se melhora da qualidade do sono (p = 0,02) no G1. Baixo escore de estresse emocional (p = 0,03), ser do sexo masculino (p = 0,02), pertencer ao G1 (p = 0,002) e idade (p = 0,04) contribuíram para melhor qualidade do sono. Conclusão: orientações educativas sobre a higiene do sono em pacientes com DM2 foram efetivas na melhora da pontuação da qualidade do sono, mensurada pelo instrumento PSQI-BR, e do diabetes-related emotional distress, avaliado pelo instrumento do B-DDS.

Influence of cyclosporine on the occurrence of nephrotoxicity after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a systematic review.

Cyclosporine, a drug used in immunosuppression protocols for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that has a narrow therapeutic index, may cause various adverse reactions, including nephrotoxicity. This has a direct clinical impact on the patient. This study aims to summarize available evidence in the scientific literature on the use of cyclosporine in respect to its risk factor for the development of nephrotoxicity in patients submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A systematic review was made with the following electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, LILACS, SciELO and Cochrane BVS. The keywords used were: "bone marrow transplantation" OR "stem cell transplantation" OR "grafting, bone marrow" AND cyclosporine OR cyclosporin OR "risk factors" AND "acute kidney injury" OR "acute kidney injuries" OR "acute renal failure" OR "acute renal failures" OR "nephrotoxicity". The level of scientific evidence of the studies was classified according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine. The final sample was composed of 19 studies, most of which (89.5%) had an observational design, evidence level 2B and pointed to an incidence of nephrotoxicity above 30%. The available evidence, considered as good quality and appropriate for the analyzed event, indicates that cyclosporine represents a risk factor for the occurrence of nephrotoxicity, particularly when combined with amphotericin B or aminoglycosides, agents commonly used in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients.

Participants were six nurses, who worked in a Pediatric Ward of the teaching hospital of Campinas State University, São Paulo, Brazil. The technique used for collecting data was semi-direct interview. Thematic Content Analysis introduced the thematic category "Care for chronically ill children with focus on the disease". This care approach in the nurse's practice was shown to be predominant.
