[Effect of the forward head syndrome in the development of temporomandibular disorders]. / Efecto del síndrome de cabeza adelantada en el desarrollo de trastornos temporomandibulares.

Bad habits, such as poor posture during the use of technological devices, poor abdominal control and oral breathing pattern can lead to a forward head position, which has important implications for the entire future of the individual, especially at the stomatognathic system. There is a strong association between temporomandibular disorders and forward head syndrome. Where the muscular component is the main affected, with the appearance of more trigger points at the level of the sternocleidomastoid muscles, upper trapezius, rectus capitis posterior and upper oblique capitis. Degenerative changes in the temporomandibular joint have been observed, but evidence is still lacking to ensure that Forward Head Syndrome is the etiological factor.

Accuracy and completeness of records of adverse events through interface terminology. / Precisión y exhaustividad del registro de eventos adversos mediante una terminología de interfase.

OBJECTIVE: To determine what adverse events, including pressure ulcers, infection of the surgical site and aspiration pneumonia, nurses record in clinical histories, in terms of diagnostic accuracy and completeness, through ATIC. METHOD: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, multicenter study of 64 medical-surgical and semi-critical units of two university hospitals in Catalonia, Spain, during 2015. The diagnostic accuracy was assessed by means of the correspondence between the event declared in the Minimum Basic Data Set and the problem documented by the nurse. The record was considered complete when it contained the risk of the event, prescriptions of care and a record of the evolution. RESULTS: The sample evaluated included 459 records. The accuracy results of pressure ulcers are highly correlated between the nursing diagnosis recorded and that declared in the Minimum Basic Data Set. The accuracy in surgical site infection is moderate, and aspiration resulting in pneumonia is very low. The completeness of results is remarkable, except for the risk of bronchoaspiration. CONCLUSION: The adverse event recorded by nurses with greatest accuracy is pressure ulcers.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Determinar qué registran las enfermeras en la historia clínica mediante ATIC, sobre los eventos adversos: úlceras por presión, infección del sitio quirúrgico y aspiración con resultado de neumonía, en términos de precisión diagnostica y exhaustividad. Método: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal, y multicéntrico de 64 unidades médico-quirúrgicas y semicríticos de dos hospitales universitarios de Cataluña, España, durante el año 2015. La precisión diagnóstica se evaluó mediante la correspondencia entre el evento declarado en el Conjunto Mínimo Básico de Datos y el problema documentado por la enfermera. La exhaustividad se consideró cuando el registro contenía el riesgo del evento, prescripciones de cuidados y registro de la evolución. Resultados: La muestra evaluada fue de 459 registros. Los resultados de precisión de úlceras por presión muestran una elevada correspondencia entre el diagnóstico enfermero registrado y el declarado en el Conjunto Mínimo Básico de Datos. La precisión en la infección del sitio quirúrgico es moderada, y la aspiración con resultado de neumonía muy baja. Los resultados de exhaustividad son notables, excepto el riesgo de broncoaspiración. Conclusión: El evento adverso que registran las enfermeras con mayor precisión es la úlcera por presión.

RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar quais informações são registradas pelas enfermeiras nos registros eletrônicos por meio da terminologia ATIC, sobre os eventos adversos: úlceras de pressão, infecção de sítio cirúrgico e aspiração com resultado de pneumonia, em termos de precisão diagnóstica e de exaustividade. Método: Estudo observacional, descritivo, transversal e multicêntrico de 64 unidades médico cirúrgicas e semicríticas de dois hospitais universitários da Catalunha, Espanha, durante o ano 2015. A precisão diagnóstica foi avaliada pela correspondência entre o evento indicado no Conjunto Mínimo Básico de Dados e o registro de problemas documentados pela enfermeira. A exaustividade foi considerada quando o registro continha a identificação do risco do evento, as prescrições de cuidados e o registro da evolução. Resultados: A amostra avaliada foi de 459 registros. Os resultados em termos de precisão de úlceras de pressão mostram uma alta correlação entre o diagnóstico de enfermagem registrado e o diagnóstico declarado no Conjunto Mínimo Básico de Dados. A precisão na infecção de sítio cirúrgico é moderada, e a aspiração com resultado de pneumonia é muito baixa. Os resultados de exaustividade são notáveis, salvo o risco de broncoaspiração. Conclusão: O evento adverso que as enfermeiras registram com maior precisão é a úlcera de pressão.

Surveillance nursing diagnoses, ongoing assessment and outcomes on in-patients who suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest.

Objective The purposes of this study were to examine the frequency of surveillance-oriented nursing diagnoses and interventions documented in the electronic care plans of patients who experienced a cardiac arrest during hospitalization, and to observe whether differences exist in terms of patients' profiles, surveillance measurements and outcomes. Method A descriptive, observational, retrospective, cross-sectional design, randomly including data from electronic documentation of patients who experienced a cardiac arrest during hospitalization in any of the 107 adult wards of eight acute care facilities. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Two-tailed p-values are reported. Results Almost 60% of the analyzed patients' e-charts had surveillance nursing diagnoses charted in the electronic care plans. Significant differences were found for patients who had these diagnoses documented and those who had not in terms of frequency of vital signs measurements and final outcomes. Conclusion Surveillance nursing diagnoses may play a significant role in preventing acute deterioration of adult in-patients in the acute care setting.

RESUMO Objetivo Determinar a frequência de registro eletrônico de diagnósticos e intervenções de vigilância no plano de cuidados para pacientes que sofreram uma parada cardíaca durante a admissão e avaliar se existem diferenças com base no perfil do paciente, medidas de monitoramento e resultados. Método Estudo descritivo, observacional, retrospectivo, transversal, que incluiu dados dos registros eletrônicos de pacientes internados em uma das 107 unidades de oito hospitais de cuidados agudos. Para análise dos dados foram utilizados estatísticos descritivos. Os valores de p foram relatados em dois ramos. Resultados Foram obtidos dados de 492 documentos de enfermagem de pacientes que sofreram uma parada cardíaca. Quase 60% dos prontuários eletrônicos incluídos na análise continham um ou mais diagnósticos de vigilância. Diferenças significativas foram encontradas entre os pacientes com e sem registro desses diagnósticos, no que se refere à frequência das medições dos sinais vitais e aos resultados finais. Conclusão Os diagnósticos de vigilância podem desempenhar um papel importante na prevenção de deterioração aguda em pacientes adultos hospitalizados.

RESUMEN Objetivo Los objetivos de este estudio fueron examinar la frecuencia de los diagnósticos enfermeros basados en la vigilancia y las intervenciones documentadas en los planes de asistencia mediante sistema informático de pacientes que pasaron por paro cardiaco durante estancia hospitalaria y observar si existen diferencias en términos de perfil de los pacientes, medidas de vigilancia y resultados. Método Descriptivo, observacional, retrospectivo, transversal, randomizado, incluyendo datos de documentación informática de pacientes que pasaron por paro cardiaco durante estancia hospitalaria en cualquiera de las 107 alas adultas de las ocho instalaciones de cuidados intensivos. Las estadísticas descriptivas fueron utilizadas para los análisis de datos. Valores P bilaterales fueron relatados. Resultados Casi el 60% del los pacientes analizados por la gráfica electrónica tuvieron diagnóticos enfermeros de vigilancia representados en los planes de cuidados informatizados. Fueron encontradas diferencias significativas en pacientes que tuvieron dichos diagnósticos documentados y los que no los tuvieron en términos de frecuencia de mediciones de señales vitales y resultados finales. Conclusión Los diagnósticos enfermeros de vigilancia pueden jugar un rol significativo en la prevención del deterioro agudo de pacientes adultos hospitalizados en las unidades de cuidados intensivos.
