Ineffective Health Management in Hemodialysis Patients: Diagnostic Accuracy Study.

This study analyzed the accuracy of clinical indicators of ineffective health management in hemodialysis patients. A diagnostic accuracy study was performed in 200 chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis during the first half of 2015. Measures of sensitivity and specificity were calculated using latent class analysis. Ineffective health management was present in 66.28% of patients. Accurate clinical indicators included expressed nonadherence to treatment, daily life choices ineffective to achieve health goals, expression of difficulty with prescribed regimens, inappropriate use of medicines, lack of expression of willingness to control the disease, irregular attendance of dialysis sessions, and infection. Hemodialysis may trigger a set of clinical indicators that predict the presence of ineffective health management. This knowledge provides evidence to clinical practices for hemodialysis patients and contributes to the best clinical performance of nurse practitioners.

Pruritus in hemodialysis patients: association with phosphorus intake and serum calcium level. / Prurido no paciente em hemodiálise: associação com ingestão de fósforo e nível sérico de cálcio.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the association between the occurrence of pruritus and adherence to the prescribed diet, biochemical indicators of renal function and the quality of hemodialysis in chronic renal patients. METHOD: A cross-sectional study performed at a dialysis clinic in the Northeast of Brazil, with 200 patients undergoing hemodialysis in the first half of 2015.To analyze the data, inferential statistics were used, using Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact tests; and Mann Whitney U test. RESULTS: The pruritus was present in 51% of the sample, being associated statistically with phosphorus consumption (P = 0.024) and elevation of serum calcium (P = 0.009). CONCLUSION: Pruritus in chronic renal patients undergoing hemodialysis is influenced by adequate nonadherence to the prescribed diet, in addition to the elevation of biochemical indicators of renal function.

Clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis of ineffective protection in haemodialysis patients.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical validity of indicators of the nursing diagnosis of "ineffective protection" in haemodialysis patients. BACKGROUND: Haemodialysis patients have reduced protection. Studies on the nursing diagnosis of "ineffective protection" are scarce in the literature. The use of indicators to diagnose "ineffective protection" could improve the care of haemodialysis patients. The clinical usefulness of the indicators requires clinical validation. DESIGN: This was a diagnostic accuracy study. METHOD: This study assessed a sample of 200 patients undergoing haemodialysis in a reference clinic for nephrology during the first half of 2015. Operational definitions were created for each clinical indicator based on concept analysis and content validation by experts for these indicators. Diagnostic accuracy measurement was performed with latent class analysis with randomised effects. RESULTS: The clinical indicator of "fatigue" had high sensitivity (p = .999) and specificity (p = 1.000) for the identification of "ineffective protection." Additionally, "maladaptive response to stress" (p = .711) and "coagulation change" (p = .653) were sensitive indicators. The main indicators that showed high specificity were "fever" (p = .987), "increased number of hospitalisations" (p = .911), "weakness" (p = .937), "infected vascular access" (p = .962) and "vascular access dysfunction" (p = .722). CONCLUSION: A set of nine clinical indicators of "ineffective protection" were accurate and statistically significant for haemodialysis patients. Three clinical indicators showed sensitivity, and six indicators showed specificity. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Accurate measures for nursing diagnoses can help nurses confirm or rule out the probability of the occurrence of "ineffective protection" in patients undergoing haemodialysis.

Associação entre fatores psicológicos e relacionais e o rendimento escolar no ensino fundamental / Association between psychological and relational factors and academic performance in elementary school / Asociación entre factores psicológicos y relacionales y rendimiento escolar en la educación elemental

Diante dos resultados de avaliações periódicas nacionais, diferentes aspectos têm sido apontados como influentes no desempenho escolar. Nossa pesquisa pretende mapear fatores psicológicos e relacionais que podem atuar para um melhor ou pior desempenho dos alunos. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a interação entre o nível de estresse, a competência percebida, a autoestima geral e o rendimento escolar de um grupo de 48 alunos de 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental. Para medir o nível de estresse, utilizamos a Escala de Stress Infantil de Lipp & Lucarelli e para averiguar a competência percebida e a autoestima geral, elaboramos uma tradução da Escala de Competência Percebida de Susan Harter. Os resultados apontam um rendimento escolar significativamente menor em alunos com estresse excessivo e/ou competência percebida baixa nas subescalas cognitiva e social.

Considering the results of periodic national assessments, different aspects have been identified as influential on school performance. Our research aims to map relational and psychological factors that may affect students’ performance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction between the stress level, the perceived competence, the general self- -esteem and the school performance of a group composed by 48 students from 6th grade of elementary school. To measure the students’ stress levels, we adopted the Child Stress Scale by Lipp & Lucarelli and to determine the perceived competence and the general self-esteem, we developed a translation of the Perceived Competence Scale by Susan Harter. Results show a significantly lower performance by students with excessive stress and/ or with low cognitive and social perceived competence.
