Specific causal validation of nursing diagnosis Risk for thrombosis: A case-control study.

PURPOSE: This study aims to perform specific causal validation of nursing diagnosis Risk for thrombosis (00291) of the NANDA International (NANDA-I) classification. METHODS: This is a case-control study conducted in a university hospital from January to October 2020. A total of 516 adult patients were included-344 in the Case Group (with venous or arterial thrombosis evidenced by imaging) and 172 in the Control Group (without thrombosis). Statistical analysis was performed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression test, and odds ratios were calculated to measure the effect of exposure between groups. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. FINDINGS: The patients were predominantly female and aged 59 ± 16 years. In the univariate logistic analysis, five risk factors were significantly associated with thrombosis, two at-risk populations and 12 associated conditions. In the multivariate regression model, the following risk factors remained independently associated (p < 0.05): inadequate knowledge of modifiable factors (OR: 3.03; 95% CI: 1.25-8.56) and ineffective medication self-management (OR: 3.2; 95% CI:1.77-6.26); at-risk populations with history (OR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.29-3.66) and family history of thrombosis (OR:2.60; 95% CI: 1.03-7.49); and the conditions associated with vascular diseases (OR:6.12; 95% CI:1.69-39.42), blood coagulation disorders (OR: 5.14; 95% CI:1.85-18.37), atherosclerosis (OR:2.07; 95% CI: 1.32-3.27), critical illness (OR: 2.28; 95% CI: 1.42-3.70), and immobility (OR: 2.09; 95% CI: 1.10-4.12). CONCLUSIONS: The clinical validation allowed to establish strong evidence for the refinement of the diagnosis Risk for thrombosis and, consequently, to raise its level of evidence in the classification of NANDA-I. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The evidence pointed out by this study favors the establishment of thrombosis diagnosis in an accurate way by nurses in clinical practice, directing preventive interventions to patients in this risk condition.

OBJETIVO: Realizar a validação causal específica do diagnóstico de enfermagem Risco de trombose (00291) da classificação diagnóstica da NANDA International, Inc. MÉTODOS: Estudo de caso-controle, realizado em hospital universitário entre janeiro e outubro de 2020. Foram incluídos 516 pacientes adultos - 344 no Grupo Caso (com trombose venosa ou arterial evidenciada em exame de imagem) e 172 no Grupo Controle (sem trombose). A análise estatística ocorreu por teste de regressão logística univariada e multivariada, e Odds ratios calculados para medir o efeito da exposição entre os grupos. O estudo foi aprovado em Comitê de Ética. RESULTADOS: Os pacientes foram predominantemente do sexo feminino e idade de 59±16 anos. Na análise logística univariada foi associado significativamente á trombose: cinco fatores de risco, duas populações em risco e 12 condições associadas. No modelo de regressão multivariada permaneceram independentemente associados (P<0,05) os fatores de risco conhecimento inadequado sobre os fatores modificáveis (OR:3,03; IC95%:1,25-8,56) e autogestão ineficaz de medicamentos (OR:3,24; IC95%:1,77-6,26); as populações em risco com história prévia (OR:2,16; IC95%:1,29-3,66) e história familiar de trombose (OR:2,60; IC95%:1,03-7,49); e as condições associadas a doenças vasculares (OR:6,12; IC95%:1,69-39,42), distúrbios de coagulaçõo (OR:5,14; IC95%:1,85-18,37),aterosclerose (OR:2,07; IC95%:1,32-3,27), doença crítica (OR:2,28; IC95%:1,42-3,70) e imobilidade (OR:2,09; IC95%:1,10-4,12). CONCLUSÕES: A validação clínica permitiu estabelecer fortes evidências para o refinamento do diagnóstico Risco de trombose e, consequentemente, elevar seu nível de evidência na classificação da NANDA-I. IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A PRÁTICA: As evidências apontadas pelo estudo favorecem o estabelecimento deste diagnóstico de forma acurada pelos enfermeiros na prática clínica, direcionando intervenções preventivas aos pacientes nesta condiçõo de risco.

Reduction of patients' bed rest time after percutaneous renal biopsy evaluated by the Nursing Outcomes Classification: Randomized clinical trial.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the reduction of patients' bed rest time after percutaneous renal biopsy (PRB) from 24 to 8 h using the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). METHODS: This was a randomized clinical trial registered with Clinical Trials number NCT04629235. The sample comprised 16 patients in the intervention group and 18 in the control group. In the intervention group, the rest time was modified to 8 h, and afterward, the patients were released to ambulate, whereas the control patients remained at absolute rest for 24 h after PRB according to institutional protocol. All patients were observed for 24 h and evaluated at five time points with the outcomes and indicators of the NOC: before the biopsy, immediately after, at the 8th hour, at the 12th hour, and at the 24th hour after the procedure. RESULTS: In the 170 evaluations performed, statistically significant differences were identified in the outcome Comfort status: physical and the indicators "physical well-being and comfortable position." None of the complications were related to reduced bed rest time. CONCLUSIONS: Reducing patients' bed rest time from 24 to 8 h did not increase complications from PRB, and using the NOC provided a standardized and reliable assessment. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Important evidence was identified for patient care after PRB, demonstrating the positive impact on patient comfort and the possibility of reducing costs to the institution and the workload of the multidisciplinary team. In addition, these findings may contribute to strengthening the use of NOC in clinical practice, teaching, and research.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a redução do tempo de repouso no leito de pacientes após biópsia renal percutânea de 24 para 8 horas, por meio de resultados e indicadores clínicos da Nursing Outcomes Classification/NOC. MÉTODOS: Ensaio clínico randomizado registrado no Clinical Trials (NCT04629235). A amostra contou com 16 pacientes no Grupo Intervenção e 18 no Grupo Controle. No Grupo Intervenção o tempo de repouso foi modificado para 8 horas, e após os pacientes foram liberados para deambular; enquanto no Grupo Controle os pacientes se mantiveram em repouso absoluto por 24 horas após biópsia renal percutânea, conforme protocolo institucional. Todos os pacientes foram observados por 24 horas e avaliados em cinco momentos distintos, com resultados e indicadores da Nursing Outcomes Classification/NOC: antes da biópsia, imediatamente após, na 8ª hora, na 12ª hora e na 24ª hora após o procedimento. RESULTADOS: Nas 170 avaliações realizadas foi identificada diferença estatisticamente significativa nos escores do resultado Estado de conforto: físico, e nos indicadores "bem-estar físico e posição confortável". Nenhuma das complicações foi relacionada com a redução do tempo de repouso no leito. CONCLUSÕES: A redução do tempo de repouso no leito dos pacientes de 24 para 8 horas não aumentou as complicações decorrentes da biópsia renal percutânea. O uso da Nursing Outcomes Classification/NOC favoreceu uma avaliação padronizada e fidedigna. IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A PRÁTICA: Identificou-se evidências importantes para o cuidado ao paciente após biópsia renal percutânea, demonstrando o impacto positivo no conforto dos pacientes, além da possibilidade de diminuição de custos à instituição e da sobrecarga no trabalho da equipe multidisciplinar. Somado a isso, estes resultados poderão contribuir para o fortalecimento do uso da Nursing Outcomes Classification/NOC na prática clínica, ensino e pesquisa.

Fall prevention in hospitalized patients: Evaluation through the nursing outcomes classification/NOC.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the nursing outcomes of hospitalized patients at high risk for falls through NOC and correlate NOC outcomes called Knowledge: Fall Prevention and Fall Prevention Behavior with patients' sociodemographic and clinical variables. BACKGROUND: Falls represent one of the major safety incidents in the hospital setting. The role of nursing is fundamental in preventing these events, from risk assessment to outcome evaluation. One of the strategies for evaluating nursing outcomes is the use of Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). METHODS: A cross-sectional study conducted with a sample of 68 adult patients at high risk for falls admitted to clinical and surgical units. The patients received three evaluations. Data collect was prospective with an instrument containing five results and 28 NOC indicators. Descriptive and analytical analysis considered the NOC 5-point Likert scale. RESULTS: Evaluation of the Knowledge: Fall Prevention and Fall Prevention Behavior outcomes showed that patients have a limited level of knowledge and rarely demonstrated preventive behavior. Vital Signs (0802), Medication Response (2301) and Safe Health Care Environment (1934) pointed to the existence of adequate patient monitoring and safe environment. CONCLUSION: The evaluation of patient outcomes supported by a standardized classification system such as the NOC highlights the patient's clinical evolution and produces data that support the planning of care and management interventions, providing more effective and safer practices.

Effectiveness of nursing interventions in heart failure patients in home care using NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions (NIC) using nursing outcomes (NOC) and based on NANDA-I nursing diagnoses in patients with heart failure in home care. METHOD: In this longitudinal study, 23 patients with heart failure were followed for 6 months, in four home visits. During the visits, nursing diagnoses were established, outcomes assessed, and interventions implemented. RESULTS: Of the 11 NIC interventions implemented, eight proved effective, that is, showed significant improvement between the first and the fourth visit, according to scores obtained for six outcomes: knowledge: treatment regimen, knowledge: medication, compliance behavior, symptom control, activity tolerance, and energy conservation. CONCLUSION: NIC interventions health education, self-modification assistance, behavior modification, teaching: prescribed medication, teaching: disease process, nutritional counseling, telephone consultation, and energy conservation showed effective outcomes based on NOC scores, suggesting that the NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC linkage is useful in patients with heart failure in home care.

PURPOSE: Validate the outcomes from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) for the Acute Pain nursing diagnosis. METHODS: The content validation of the seven NOC outcomes and their respective indicators was performed using an adaptation of Fehring's model and was analyzed by descriptive statistics. FINDINGS: Six were classified as critical and one was classified as supplemental. From the total of 118 indicators, 103 were validated. Of these, 27 were classified as critical and 76 as supplemental. CONCLUSIONS: The use of the NOC is a viable alternative for the assessment and identification of best practices in nursing care. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Validation studies of nursing classifications corroborate the use of the component elements of these instruments in a variety of care settings.

Tabaquismo en una escuela de enfermería al sur del Brasil

Es un estudio transversal con el objetivo de identificar la prevalencia de fumadores entre los profesores, estudiantes y personal administrativo de una escuela de enfermería en el sur de Brasil. Los datos se recolectaron en 2009, a través de cuestionarios específicos para los fumadores, ex fumadores y no fumadores y se analizaron mediante paquete estadístico para las Ciencias Sociales. La muestra consistió de 426 sujetos, 21 (5%) fumadores, 26 (6,1%) ex fumadores y 376 (88,9%) no fumadores, lo que representa el 77,5% de la población estudiada. La prevalencia de fumadores se encuentra entre el personal administrativo, 8 (38,1%); de los ex fumadores entre los profesores, 9 (34,6%); y no fumadores entre los estudiantes, 317 (83,6%), diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p <0,001). La mayoría de los fumadores tienen poca educación y muy baja dependencia a la nicotina (0-2 puntos). El conocimiento de la prevalencia del tabaquismo en la institución favorece el uso de intervenciones dirigidas a la prevención y el cese de la práctica de fumar en este ambiente de salud y educación.

Nursing interventions in the clinical practice of an intensive care unit.

This cross-sectional study was carried out at a university hospital to describe the nursing interventions most frequently performed in the clinical practice of an intensive care unit, based on nursing care prescriptions, and to investigate their similarity to the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). The sample consisted of 991 hospitalizations of patients. Data were retrospectively collected from the computer database and analyzed through descriptive statistics and cross-mapping. A total of 57 different NIC interventions frequently used in the unit were identified; most of them in the complex (42%) and basic physiological (37%) domains, in the classes 'respiratory management' and 'self-care facilitation'. Similarity between the nursing care prescribed and nursing interventions/NIC was found in 97.2% of the cases. The conclusion is that the interventions/NIC used in the clinical practice of this intensive care unit reflects the level of complexity of nursing care, which is mainly directed at the regulation of the body's physical and homeostatic functioning.

Nursing diagnoses in a Brazilian intensive care unit.

PURPOSE: To identify the nursing diagnoses and their most frequent related factors or risk factors in patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). METHOD: Descriptive cross-sectional study with information from 991 admissions to an ICU during a 6-month period. FINDINGS: Sixteen nursing diagnoses resulting from hospitalization were most frequently identified; six had percentages greater than 40% with 29 related/risk factors. The resulting averages were 6.9 diagnoses per hospitalization and 1.2 related/risk factors per nursing diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS: The nursing diagnoses identified seemed to be common to the clinical practice of nursing and their fundamental related/risk factors to precise clinical judgment, thus providing a basis for interventions for a desired outcome. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The findings have contributed to the development of the standardized nursing language usage in Brazilian nursing practices.
