Functionality and quality of life in Brazilian patients 6 months post-stroke.

Background: Surviving a stroke poses a social and economic impact that requires the care system to be reformulated and the patient to be addressed in a comprehensive approach. Purpose: This study aims to investigate if there is a relationship between functional activities performed before the stroke, patients' clinical and hospitalization data, and functionality and quality of life measures in the first 6 months after the stroke. Methods: This study used a prospective cohort of 92 patients. We investigated sociodemographic and clinical data, the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and the Frenchay Activities Index (FAI) during hospitalization. The Barthel Index (BI) and EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) were applied at the following time points: 30 days (T1), 90 days (T2), and 180 days (T3) following postictal state. Statistical analysis was conducted using Spearman's coefficient, Friedman's non-parametric test, and multiple linear regression models. Results: No correlation was found between FAI, BI, and EQ-5D average scores. Severe patients, patients with comorbidities, and patients with extended hospital stays showed lower BI and EQ-5D scores □in the follow-up. BI and EQ-5D scores increased. Conclusion: This research found no relationship between activities performed before the stroke and functionalities and quality of life after the stroke, but comorbidities and extended hospital stay were associated with worse outcomes.

Assessment of Neurological Status in Patients with Cerebrovascular Diseases through the Nursing Outcome Classification: A Methodological Study.

Nurses play an important role in healthcare, and the Nursing Outcomes Classification is a key tool for the standardization of care. This study aims to validate the nursing outcome "Neurological Status" for patients with cerebrovascular diseases. A methodological study was performed in four phases. In Phase 1, the relevance of the indicators was evaluated by seven specialists and the modified kappa coefficient and content validity index were calculated. In Phase 2, conceptual and operational definitions were formulated. In addition, their content was validated with a focus group in Phase 3. In Phase 4, the results were applied in clinical practice and convergence with the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale was verified. The reliability was measured by Cronbach's alpha. Of the 22 initial indicators, 6 were excluded. The focus group suggested changes in the definitions and the exclusion of two indicators. In Phase 4, only 13 indicators were validated due to the impossibility of measuring intracranial pressure. A strong correlation between the two scales and agreement among all the indicators were observed. Following the specialists' review, the nursing outcome was reliable and clinically validated with 13 indicators: consciousness, orientation, language, central motor control, cranial sensory and motor function, spinal sensory and motor function, body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, eye movement pattern, pupil size, pupil reactivity, and breathing pattern.

Clinical Validation of Nursing Diagnoses Related to Self-Care Deficits in Patients with Stroke.

To clinically validate the defining characteristics of nursing diagnoses related to self-care deficits in feeding, bathing, toileting, and dressing in patients with stroke. A diagnostic accuracy study was conducted with a sample of 135 patients with stroke. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated based on the latent class analysis method using the random effects model. The prevalence of diagnoses was 23.5% for Bathing self-care deficit, 18.5% for Dressing self-care deficit, 13.3% for Toileting self-care deficit, and 7.5% for Feeding self-care deficit. Fourteen defining characteristics were sensitive, and 17 were specific. Hemorrhagic stroke and note 4 on the Rankin scale was associated with self-care deficits. Of the 37 defining characteristics of the four diagnoses studied, 19 were clinically validated according to the latent class analysis model. These most accurate clinical indicators contribute to the development of the care plan for patients with stroke.

Development and validation of an instrument to assess the knowledge of nurses on enteral nutrition. / Construção e validação de instrumento para avaliar o conhecimento do enfermeiro sobre terapia nutricional enteral.

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate an instrument to assess the knowledge of nurses on enteral nutrition. METHOD: Methodological study, with literature review, content validation and pre-test. Studies published from 2008 to 2018 on enteral nutrition were included in the review. The material was evaluated by 6 judges, following psychometric criteria. The degree of agreement was calculated. The pre-test was carried out with 30 nurses, with the objective of verifying the suitability and understanding of the instrument for its use in clinical practice. RESULTS: The instrument constructed had four domains with 10 items each. The domains Indication of enteral nutrition and Monitoring of enteral nutrition had better degrees of agreement -0.94 and 0.93, respectively. The categories that obtained values below 0.90 were reformulated or removed, resulting in 38 categories distributed in 4 domains. In the pre-test, the agreement was 0.90, and the instrument was considered easy to understand and adequate for practice. CONCLUSION: The instrument constructed was validated regarding content and application in nursing practice.

Content Validation of Clinical Evidence Related to Self-Care Deficits of Patients With Stroke.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to develop the conceptual and operational definitions for the defining characteristics of each nursing diagnosis related to self-care deficits of patients with stroke and to validate these definitions with experts. METHODS: This was a methodological study. The definitions were evaluated by 32 specialists and analyzed using binomial testing. RESULTS: All the defining characteristics analyzed were statistically significant (p < .05); three indicators showed agreement at a level lower than the ideal (<0.85). CONCLUSION: The definitions achieved validity for measuring self-care deficit for bathing, toileting, dressing, and eating. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: These defining characteristics of each nursing diagnosis related to self-care deficits may enable more accurate assessment, driving relevant and individualized action plans in rehabilitation.

Conceptual and operational definition of nursing outcomes regarding the breastfeeding establishment.

OBJECTIVE: to construct conceptual and operational definitions of Nursing Outcomes "Breastfeeding establishment: infant (1000)" and "Breastfeeding establishment: maternal (1001)". METHOD: integrative literature review in the following databases: PUBMED (United States National Library of Medicine); LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature); CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature); SciVerse SCOPUS; Web of Science; BDENF (Brazilian Nursing Database) and EMBASE (Excerpta Medica Database). The gray literature was explored to elucidate topics not covered by the articles. Of 3242 articles, 96 were selected to be read in full, and 43 were used for constructing the definitions. Five theses, three dissertations, three books and two manuals were selected. RESULTS: all the results were reviewed. The definitions facilitated the improvement of the content proposed by the Nursing Outcomes Classification, favoring its application in clinical practice and supporting the development of research and teaching. CONCLUSION: it was proposed to change the definition of the two outcomes, as well as to change the title of one of them to "Breastfeeding establishment: newborn & infant" (1000), modifying seven of its indicators and excluding one. For the outcome related to the mother, it was proposed to modify two indicators and exclude one.

Clinical simulation in teaching Pediatric Nursing: students' perception.

OBJECTIVES: to comprehend the perception of undergraduate nursing students about learning to care for the child and family through clinical simulation. METHODS: this is a qualitative research conducted with ten nursing students through semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed through content analysis. RESULTS: data were organized into two categories: "learning a new way to learn," in which students describe their experiences during the simulation, and "learning a new way to care," in which they reflect on learning through simulation. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: we believe that clinical simulation practice in teaching should be encouraged because of the benefits it can offer to the students, faculty, patients and their families. However, we recommend further studies to validate scenarios of child and family healthcare.

MÉTODO: Investigación metodológica realizada en 3 etapas: diseño del instrumento existente a partir de los sistemas NANDA-I, NOC y NIC; validación de contenido por 13 jueces a partir de una escala tipo Likert de 4 puntos, evaluando los ítems en cuanto a claridad y pertinencia; aplicabilidad: opinión de 40 enfermeros asistenciales sobre el contenido respecto a la claridad, facilidad de lectura y presentación. Se calculó el índice de validez de contenido y el coeficiente de Kappa para medir la proporción de relevancia y claridad, así como para verificar el nivel de concordancia entre especialistas en cada ítem. RESULTADOS: Se consideró el instrumento claro y pertinente, con índice de validez de contenido por encima de 0,8 en la mayoría de los ítems, e índice de concordancia global de 0,90, evidenciando un nivel satisfactorio de concordancia entre los jueces. En cuanto a la aplicabilidad se consideró el instrumento claro, de fácil lectura y con presentación adecuada por la mayoría de los enfermeros asistenciales, siendo validado a través de 11 diagnósticos con sus respectivos resultados e intervenciones de enfermería. CONCLUSIÓN: El instrumento ha demostrado ser válido y aplicable para el grupo estudiado. Se espera que este estudio contribuya a la mejora del proceso enfermero en cuidados intensivos

OBJECTIVE: to validate the content of an instrument for documenting the steps of the Nursing Process, using the standardized languages NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC (NNN), aiming at hospitalized patients in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). METHOD: A methodological research performed in three steps: design of the existing instrument from the systems NANDA-I, NOC and NIC; content validation by 13 judges, from a four-point Likert-type scale - items were evaluated as to their clarity and pertinence; applicability: judgement of the content regarding clarity, reading ease, and presentation for 40 critical-care nurses. The Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Kappa coefficient (k) was calculated to measure the proportion of relevance and clarity, was well as to verify the level of agreement between the experts in each item. RESULTS: The instrument was considered clear and pertinent, with CVI above 0.8 in most items and overall Concordance Index (CI) of 0.90, showing a satisfactory level of agreement between judges. Regarding applicability, the instrument was deliberated clear, of easy reading, and with proper presentation by most critical-care nurses, being validated through 11 diagnoses with their respective results and nursing interventions. Conclusion; The instrument showed to be valid and applicable for the group studied. It is expected that this study is able to contribute to the improvement of the Nursing Process in intensive care
