Patient experience in automated peritoneal dialysis with telemedicine monitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico: Qualitative study.

AIM: The aim of the study was to understand the experiences of patients on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) during the period of confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. DESIGN: Qualitative exploratory study, phenomenological through semi-structured telephone interview. METHOD: A priori sampling was carried out with patients on APD with remote monitoring and telephone follow-up, in 13 hospitals in Mexico. RESULTS: Twenty-nine informants, mean age 45.41 ± 16.93; 15 women and 14 men. The analysis revealed four categories of analysis: home isolation, clinical follow-up, socioeconomic challenges and infodemic. The experiences of these patients led them to somatize emotions, presenting symptoms such as anxiety, sadness, loneliness, sleep, eating and digestive disorders, situation that sets the tone for future research on telemedicine care models, coping styles, emotional support strategies and socioeconomic impact on patients with chronic home treatments during the pandemic.

Best Nursing Intervention Practices to Prevent Non-Communicable Disease: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: To explore nursing health education interventions for non-communicable disease patients. Methods: The design was a systematic review of research work published between 2008 and 2018. The data sources included the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, COCHRANE, and LILACS. The studies that met the inclusion were assessed, and the analysis for methodological quality through the recommended tools CASPe, and JADAD. Results: Fifteen original studies from eight counties were included in the review; Findings revealed 13 studies with randomized samples and six used power analysis. Nurses' interventions included house calls, home care, and individual and group health education. Conclusion: Nursing interventions showed 76.4% the effectiveness of results in patient outcomes to promote and improve healthier lifestyles and quality of life of non-communicable disease patients. This review discloses the significant impact of nursing health education interventions. Nursing leadership and political decision-makers should consider providing programs to enhance health education knowledge and abilities. All of this can favor the sustainability of the global economy by changing the life style of thousands of people worldwide.

"Comprehensive Care" Concept in Nursing: Systematic Review / Concepto de "Cuidados Integrales" en Enfermería: Revisión sistemática / Conceito de "Cuidado Integral" em Enfermagem: Revisão Sistemática

Introduction. Integrated health care is a concept widely used in the planning and organisation of nursing care. It is a highly topical concept, but at the same time it is deeply rooted in the theory and models of Nursing right from its inception as a science. There is no clear, agreed definition that describes it. Objective. To systematise the knowledge available on the concept of "comprehensive care" in Nursing from the point of view of nursing care, its domains and characteristics. Methods. A literature search has been carried out in several languages (Spanish, Portuguese, English and Romanian) in the databases Web of Science, Scopus, Medline, PubMed, Cochrane and Dialnet, covering the period between 2013 and 2019. The search terms used were: comprehensive health care, health and nursing. Prospero register 170327. Results. Sixteen documents were identified, which grouped 8 countries, mainly Brazil, being the country with the highest output on this context­ 10 documents were found within the qualitative paradigm and 6 quantitative ones. The concept "Comprehensive Care" is commonly used to refer to comprehensive nursing care techniques, protocols, programmes and plans, covering care in all aspects of the individual as a complement to or independent of the clinical needs arising from health care. Conclusion. The definition of features pertaining to the concept "Comprehensive Care" encourages the use and standardisation of nursing care plans, improving patient follow-up, the detection of new risk factors, complications and new health problems not related to the reason for admission. This increases the capacity for prevention and improves the patient's quality of life, and their primary and/or family caregivers, which translates into lower costs in the health system

Exploring the influence of the nursing and medical professions on policy and politics.

BACKGROUND: The Nursing Now global campaign is aimed at raising the profile of nursing and its influence on policy and politics. Calls for the profession to have an increased role in policymaking are not new, but recent developments offer significant opportunities to advance this message. AIM: To compare and contrast the published scholarly evidence, indexed in Web of Science (WoS), relating to how medicine and nursing influence policy and politics. METHOD: A bibliometric analysis of scholarship was undertaken to determine how medicine and nursing influence policy and politics. Indexed articles in Web of Science were compared to examine the evolution of scholarly contributions by both professions. RESULTS: Since 1990, nursing and medicine have been consistent contributors to scholarship on policy and politics. At the same time, there has been an exponential growth in scholarly output, but nursing is now starting to fall behind. Nursing has focused on the necessary knowledge and skills, whereas medicine has focused on acting on specific issues. CONCLUSION: There are multiple opportunities for nursing scholars to accelerate their indexed output to inform evidence-based advocacy, and influence policy and politics. These endeavours will increase their potential to inform future healthcare.
