Structural validity of nursing diagnosis insomnia in older adults of a community center.

PURPOSE: Insomnia is an important sleep disorder in older persons. Conceptual analysis studies on this nursing diagnosis have been developed, but the diagnostic accuracy has not been verified. This study aimed to verify the diagnostic accuracy of the nursing diagnosis of Insomnia (00095) in older adults in a community center in Brazil. METHODS: A validation study for diagnostic accuracy of the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis Insomnia. Data were collected through telephone interviews with 90 participants. Latent class analysis was used to verify the sensitivity and specificity of the defining characteristics. Poisson regression was used to assess the prevalence of the association of factors related to the nursing diagnosis of insomnia. FINDINGS: A 47.42% prevalence of insomnia in the sample was identified. Defining characteristics such as expresses dissatisfaction with sleep and nonrestorative sleep-wake cycle showed the best accuracy values for insomnia, with a specificity of 0.92 (0.78-1.00) and 0.89 (0.74-1.00), respectively. Related factors such as stressors and frequent naps during the day were more likely to develop insomnia in individuals. CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates diagnostic accuracy of nursing diagnosis of insomnia in community-dwelling older people from a community center. The findings highlighted the importance of the defining characteristics of nursing diagnosis insomnia and its main related factors contributing to accurate diagnostic identification. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: This study can contribute to providing objective clinical indicators of insomnia in the older population to guide nurses in early diagnostic confirmation for the selection of health interventions. In addition, it can be a consistent contribution to theoretical and conceptual reviews of this diagnosis.

COVID-19 Infodemic and Impacts on the Mental Health of Older People: Cross-sectional Multicenter Survey Study.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic received widespread media coverage due to its novelty, an early lack of data, and the rapid rise in deaths and cases. This excessive coverage created a secondary "infodemic" that was considered to be a serious public and mental health problem by the World Health Organization and the international scientific community. The infodemic particularly affected older individuals, specifically those who are vulnerable to misinformation due to political positions, low interpretive and critical analysis capacity, and limited technical-scientific knowledge. Thus, it is important to understand older people's reaction to COVID-19 information disseminated by the media and the effect on their lives and mental health. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to describe the profile of exposure to COVID-19 information among older Brazilian individuals and the impact on their mental health, perceived stress, and the presence of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). METHODS: This cross-sectional, exploratory study surveyed 3307 older Brazilians via the web, social networks, and email between July 2020 and March 2021. Descriptive analysis and bivariate analysis were performed to estimate associations of interest. RESULTS: Major proportions of the 3307 participants were aged 60 to 64 years (n=1285, 38.9%), female (n=2250, 68.4%), and married (n=1835, 55.5%) and self-identified as White (n=2364, 71.5%). Only 295 (8.9%) had never started or completed a basic education. COVID-19 information was mainly accessed on television (n=2680, 81.1%) and social networks (n=1943, 58.8%). Television exposure was ≥3 hours in 1301 (39.3%) participants, social network use was 2 to 5 hours in 1084 (32.8%) participants, and radio exposure was ≥1 hour in 1223 (37%) participants. Frequency of exposure to social networks was significantly associated with perceived stress (P=.04) and GAD (P=.01). A Bonferroni post hoc test revealed significantly different perceived stress in participants who were exposed to social networks for 1 hour (P=.04) and those who had no exposure (P=.04). A crude linear regression showed that "some" social media use (P=.02) and 1 hour of exposure to social media (P<.001) were associated with perceived stress. Adjusting for sociodemographic variables revealed no associations with this outcome variable. In a crude logistic regression, some social media use (P<.001) and 2 to 5 hours of exposure to social media (P=.03) were associated with GAD. Adjusting for the indicated variables showed that some social network use (P<.001) and 1 hour (P=.04) and 2 to 5 hours (P=.03) of exposure to social media were associated with GAD. CONCLUSIONS: Older people, especially women, were often exposed to COVID-19-related information through television and social networks; this affected their mental health, specifically GAD and stress. Thus, the impact of the infodemic should be considered during anamnesis for older people, so that they can share their feelings about it and receive appropriate psychosocial care.

"Readiness for enhanced healthy aging" nursing diagnosis: Content validation by experts.

PURPOSE: To validate the content nursing diagnosis "Readiness for enhanced healthy aging." METHODS: Descriptive, methodological study of diagnostic content validation, using the Fehring model. The sample consisted of 74 nurses experts in gerontology, with knowledge in NANDA-I nursing diagnoses. FINDINGS: The title, one definition, and the three defining characteristics proposed for the diagnosis were validated, as well as the suggestion of domain and location class in NANDA-I Taxonomy II. The Diagnostic Content Validity Index was 0.81. CONCLUSIONS: The validation of the diagnostic content by experts was fundamental for adequacy of the elements of the proposed diagnosis, which supported the elaboration of the diagnostic framework for submission to the NANDA-I taxonomy. IMPLICATION FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The diagnosis "Readiness for enhanced healthy aging" can help nurses understand the phenomenon of "Healthy Aging" and, consequently, will support the planning and implementation of interventions aimed at promoting the health of the elderly population and those in the aging process. In addition, this diagnosis will offer nurses the opportunity to rethink health promotion strategies in their care plan, making a commitment to the population regarding the promotion of healthy aging, as recommended by the Word Health Organization.

Safety culture in a nephrology service at a university hospital: A mixed method study.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety culture from the perception of the multidisciplinary team of the nephrology service of a university hospital. METHOD: Mixed methods study with concomitant triangulation of data, with 56 participants. In the adopted approach, data are weighted with QUAN+qual notation. Quantitative data were collected using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture instrument and analyzed using simple descriptive statistics. Qualitative data were obtained from recorded interviews and analyzed using the content analysis technique proposed by Bardin. RESULTS: The answers obtained in the quantitative instrument pointed out that of the twelve dimensions of the service, three were neutral, nine were fragile, and none was strong. From the qualitative analysis, similarities and divergences were identified in the statements about the quantitative data. The intersection of the data resulted in the category "Safety culture in the work environment of Nephrology". CONCLUSION: Knowing the level of safety culture through the perception of nephrology health professionals allowed the identification of a critical and problematic scenario that needs improvements in the dimensions classified as fragile in order to advance in the perspectives of safety and in the polishing of actions aimed at safer care.
