Analysis of intensity, sensory and affective aspects of pain of patients in immediate postoperative care. / Análise da intensidade, aspectos sensoriais e afetivos da dor de pacientes em pós-operatório imediato.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pain of patients in the immediate postoperative period during admission, an hour after admission, and at discharge of the post-anesthesia care unit in terms of intensity, and sensory and affective aspects. METHODS: Analytical, cross-sectional study with 336 patients. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and clinical form, the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire. Data collection occurred from September to October 2015 at the post-anesthesia care unit of a general hospital in the north-west of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The significance level of the descriptive and statistical analyses was set at p<0.05. RESULTS: According to the data, 57.3% of the patients did not report pain and 47% felt pain from admission to discharge. Patients submitted to cancer and trauma surgeries reported more pain (p<0.01). At admission and maintenance, there was a prevalence of moderate and intense pain, and at discharge, a predominance of mild and moderate pain. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed a high percentage of patients with pain in the immediate postoperative period from admission to discharge. These findings can encourage researchers and health workers to conduct further investigations with the larger number of patients to allow for inferences.

Factors associated with the risk of falls in hospitalized adult patients.

OBJECTIVE: Analyzing factors related to the risk of falls in hospitalized adult patients. METHOD: A cross-sectional, analytical and quantitative study, developed in Clinical and Surgical Hospitalization Units from June to August 2015.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the association between resilience and occupational stress of Nursing professionals from a general hospital. METHOD: an observational, cross-sectional study involving 321 Nursing professionals. The data collected were: socio-demographic and labour variables, stress and resilience, analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: 54.5% of the participants presented moderate resilience and 36.4%, high; 73.5% were at risk of exposure to occupational stress; the relationship between psychological demands and professional category (p=0.009), between control over work and age (p=0.04), professional category (p<0.001), having a management position (p=0.009), being a specialist (p=0.006) and between social support and professional category (p<0.001), having a management position (p=0.03), daily working hours (p=0.03), being a specialist (p<0.001) were verified. There was an association between resilience Factor I - resolutions of actions and values and control over work (p=0.04) and social support (p=0.002). CONCLUSION: the Nursing professionals of a general hospital have moderate to high resilience which, associated with high control over their work and high social support, may contribute to the reduction of exposure to occupational stress.

Association and correlation between stress, musculoskeletal pain and resilience in nurses before hospital accreditation maintenance assessment.

OBJECTIVE: to associate and correlate musculoskeletal pain, stress and resilience of nurses in the maintenance of Hospital Accreditation Certification. METHOD: longitudinal study in two moments, before and after the Accreditation maintenance visit, March and June 2019, with 53 nurses from a hospital institution. The data collected was: sociodemographic, clinical and occupational variables, stress, osteomuscular pain and resilience. Descriptive variables, Chi-square test, t test, Fisher's exact test, Pearson's correlation and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used. RESULTS: most of the study participants had average stress levels before and after the evaluation. Most of those who reported pain were at medium stress levels at both times. The resilience capacity increased after the evaluation, which demonstrates that the experienced stressors were adequately addressed. There was no significant association between the cortisol levels and the perceived stress. CONCLUSION: occupational stress and musculoskeletal pain were experienced by nurses during the Accreditation processes. It was evident that individuality permeated the perception of stress and resilience allowed to overcome the tensions experienced. The study identified that there is a need for planning and implementation of actions to collaborate with the nurses in the best confrontation, aiming to promote resilience.

Salivary cortisol concentrations in hematogy/oncology nurses on working days and days off.

OBJECTIVE: to assess salivary cortisol concentrations in hematology/oncology nurses on working days and days off. METHODS: a cross-sectional study carried out with 28 nurses from a university hospital. A sociodemographic, employment and health profile questionnaire was applied. For saliva collection, Salivette® tubes were used. Descriptive and analytical analysis was used. RESULTS: there was no significant difference in cortisol concentrations between working days and days off (p>0.05). The high cortisol concentration was associated with not having children (0.621±0.340; p=0.046), not using medication (0.623±0.133; p=0.017) and birth control pills (0.556 ± 0.228; p=0.047) and intention to leave work (0.951±0.154; p=0.001). A positive correlation was identified between cortisol and absence from work due to health issues (0.72; p=0.05) and weight gain (0.935; p=0.02). CONCLUSION: in general, cortisol concentration is within the reference parameters, with no significant difference in its secretion on working days and days off.

Factors associated with urinary tract infection in a Nursing Home.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the factors associated with urinary tract infection occurrence in institutionalized elderly. METHODS: this is a cross-sectional, analytical, quantitative study with 116 elderly people from a Nursing Home. Urinary tract infection diagnosis was carried out through urine culture and clinical assessment. Demographic data and associated factors were obtained from medical records. Statistical analysis included bivariate analysis and logistic regression models. RESULTS: the factors associated with urinary tract infection (p<0.05) were being female; wheelchair user; diaper use; diuretic use; urinary and bowel incontinence; type 1 diabetes; benign prostatic hyperplasia; dehydration. CONCLUSION: this study revealed that it is important to consider non-modifiable factors such as sex and clinical comorbidities; however, dehydration, a modifiable factor, increased the chances of developing urinary tract infections by 40 times among institutionalized elderly and demands greater attention from the health team.

Descriptive and analytical statistics were employed. RESULTS: the majority of participants showed an average stress level before and after the evaluation. The highest stress scores were related to Domains E (coordination of unit activities) and C (activities related to personnel administration). In both moments of the study, the participants had medium and high resilience. CONCLUSIONS: managing people, processes, and assistance are stressful activities in the Accreditation process and increase the nurses' stress levels.

Quality of life of chronic kidney patients on hemodialysis and related factors.

OBJECTIVE: to verify the association between the health-related quality of life of chronic renal patients on hemodialysis with sociodemographic, clinical, depression and medication adherence characteristics. METHOD: a cross-sectional study with 183 chronic renal patients undergoing hemodialysis in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. A sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, Kidney Disease and Quality of Life Short-Form, Beck Depression Inventory and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale - eight items were used. Among the variables, comorbidities, complications of kidney disease and intercurrences during and after hemodialysis were evaluated. The analysis was performed with descriptive and analytical statistics. RESULTS: 55.2% of the patients were 60 years old or older, 35.0% were hypertensive, with regular quality of life, average of 62.61. Scores below average in the dimensions of quality of life were mainly associated with repetitive infections and edema as complications of the disease, pain during hemodialysis and weakness afterwards. Low drug adherence resulted in a worse quality of life, impacting ten of the 20 dimensions evaluated and depression in all, except for patient satisfaction. CONCLUSION: reduced quality of life in this population is associated with depressive symptoms, complications such as repetitive infections, pain and anemia, weakness after the dialysis session and low medication adherence. Actions aimed at changing these factors can promote well-being.

Depression and chronic renal patients on hemodialysis: associated factors.

OBJECTIVE: to verify the association of sociodemographic and clinical variables, life habits and functional capacity with symptoms indicative of depression in chronic renal patients on hemodialysis.

Data collected with clinic and sociodemographic questionnaire and Beck Depression Inventory. Analysis with descriptive and analytical statistics and the chi-square test. RESULTS: 55.2% of participants were elderly, 66.4% men, 90.7% retired, and 60.3% presented depressive symptoms. An association was found between symptoms indicative of depression and the female sex, greater number of comorbidities and post-hemodialysis intercurrences, emotional and physical symptoms, inactivity, failing to perform usual activities and the need for assistance in day-to-day. CONCLUSION: depressive symptoms are associated with burden of comorbidities, greater number of disease complications, hemodialytic intercurrences and functional dependence. Physical exercise practice can be an effective care strategy.

There was a statistically significant association between pain intensity and musculoskeletal pain in the neck (p = 0.000), shoulders (p = 0.004), dorsal region (p = 0.000), lumbar region (p = 0.044) and ankles and feet (p = 0.017). There was no statistically significant difference between resilience and the occurrence of musculoskeletal pain by anatomical region (p > 0.05). No correlation was observed between self-reported pain intensity and resilience (p = 0.924). Conclusion: nurses working in a general hospital experience moderate to high intensity musculoskeletal pain in different anatomical regions, but remain at work, even with pain, which can be influenced by greater resilience.

Objetivo: evaluar la resiliencia de enfermeros que actúan en el ambiente hospitalario y relacionarla con el dolor musculoesquelético. Método: investigación transversal, descriptiva, realizada de diciembre de 2019 a marzo de 2020 con 83 enfermeros. Resiliencia relacionada con el dolor musculoesquelético y la intensidad del dolor evaluada y analizada con estadística descriptiva e inferencial. Resultados: el 72,3% de las enfermeras mostró resiliencia moderada, el 22,9% resiliencia alta y el 4,8% baja; El 75,9% dijo haber sentido dolor musculoesquelético en el último año y las regiones más afectadas fueron cuello, región dorsal y hombros; El 36% calificó su dolor como moderado y el 14,6% como severo. Hubo asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la intensidad del dolor y el dolor musculoesquelético en cuello (p =0,000), hombros (p = 0,004), región dorsal (p = 0,000), región lumbar (p = 0,044) y tobillos y pies (p = 0,017). No hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre la resiliencia y la aparición de dolor musculoesquelético por región anatómica (p > 0,05). No se observó correlación entre la intensidad del dolor autoinformado y la resiliencia (p = 0,924). Conclusión: los enfermeros que trabajan en un hospital general experimentan dolor musculoesquelético de intensidad moderada a alta en diferentes regiones anatómicas, pero permanecen en el trabajo, incluso con dolor, lo que puede ser influenciado por una mayor resiliencia.

Association and correlation between stress, musculoskeletal pain and resilience in nurses before hospital accreditation maintenance assessment / Associação e correlação entre estresse, dor musculoesquelética e resiliência em enfermeiros ante a avaliação de manutenção de acreditação hospitalar / Asociación y correlación entre estrés, dolor musculoesquelético y resiliencia en enfermeros en la evaluación del mantenimiento de acreditación hospitalaria

Objective: to associate and correlate musculoskeletal pain, stress and resilience of nurses in the maintenance of Hospital Accreditation Certification. Method: longitudinal study in two moments, before and after the Accreditation maintenance visit, March and June 2019, with 53 nurses from a hospital institution. The data collected was: sociodemographic, clinical and occupational variables, stress, osteomuscular pain and resilience. Descriptive variables, Chi-square test, t test, Fisher's exact test, Pearson's correlation and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used. Results: most of the study participants had average stress levels before and after the evaluation. Most of those who reported pain were at medium stress levels at both times. The resilience capacity increased after the evaluation, which demonstrates that the experienced stressors were adequately addressed. There was no significant association between the cortisol levels and the perceived stress. Conclusion: occupational stress and musculoskeletal pain were experienced by nurses during the Accreditation processes. It was evident that individuality permeated the perception of stress and resilience allowed to overcome the tensions experienced. The study identified that there is a need for planning and implementation of actions to collaborate with the nurses in the best confrontation, aiming to promote resilience.

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess salivary cortisol concentrations in hematology/oncology nurses on working days and days off. Methods: a cross-sectional study carried out with 28 nurses from a university hospital. A sociodemographic, employment and health profile questionnaire was applied. For saliva collection, Salivette® tubes were used. Descriptive and analytical analysis was used. Results: there was no significant difference in cortisol concentrations between working days and days off (p>0.05). The high cortisol concentration was associated with not having children (0.621±0.340; p=0.046), not using medication (0.623±0.133; p=0.017) and birth control pills (0.556 ± 0.228; p=0.047) and intention to leave work (0.951±0.154; p=0.001). A positive correlation was identified between cortisol and absence from work due to health issues (0.72; p=0.05) and weight gain (0.935; p=0.02). Conclusion: in general, cortisol concentration is within the reference parameters, with no significant difference in its secretion on working days and days off.

Atividade física e qualidade de vida em indivíduos renais crônicos / Physical activity and quality of life in chronic kidney individuals

INTRODUÇÃO: As alterações impostas pela doença renal e por seu tratamento interferem negativamente na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos com doença renal crônica. A atividade física é relatada como uma alternativa terapêutica nesta população, porém a maioria dos pacientes submetidos à hemodiálise apresentam baixos níveis de atividade física. OBJETIVO: verificar a correlação entre a atividade física e qualidade de vida em indivíduos com doença renal crônica em hemodiálise. MÉTODOS: Este estudo é observacional, analítico, descritivo e quantitativo, desenvolvido em uma das Unidades de Hemodiálise da região Noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, na atenção clínica terciária, durante o período de novembro de 2018 a fevereiro de 2019. Foram incluídos indivíduos maiores de 18 anos e em tratamento hemodialítico por doença renal crônica há mais de três meses, pertencentes ao serviço de hemodiálise. Os critérios de exclusão foram os indivíduos com diagnóstico de doença renal aguda; aqueles que apresentaram aparentemente dificuldades em compreender, responder ou que não realizaram completamente os instrumentos de avaliação propostos (qualidade de vida e pedômetros), indivíduos que no momento da avaliação não apresentaram condições clínicas estáveis. A coleta de dados foi realizada pela análise dos prontuários clínicos e eletrônicos e entrevista semiestruturada. Utilizou-se avaliação pelos pedômetros e pelo questionário Kidney Disease and Quality of Life Short-Form-KDQOL-SFTM. Análises de modelagem por regressão foram realizadas para testar a associação entre o número de passos/dia e os desfechos avaliados RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos na amostra 40 pacientes, destes, 70% são homens, com média de idade de 59,9 ± 13,0 anos. Na correlação entre atividade física e qualidade de vida, o número de passos/dia teve correlação significativa com as dimensões sintomas e problemas (r=0,523;p=0,003), efeitos da doença (r=0,458; p=0,010), função sexual (r=0,361;p=0,050), sono (r=0,357;p=0,049), função física (r=0,617;p=<0,001), papel físico (r=0,504;p=0,004), dor (r=0,496; p=0,005), bem estar emocional (r=0,407; p=0,023), papel emocional (r=0,435;p=0,014), função social (r=0,522;p=0,003), energia/fadiga (r=0,436;p=0,014) e composição física (r=0,598;p=<0,001). As variáveis idade, índice de massa corporal, tempo de hemodiálise e sexo não apresentaram correlação com o número de passos/dia. CONCLUSÃO: Houve correlação positiva entre atividade física e qualidade de vida, ou seja, quanto maior a média de número de passos/dia melhor a qualidade de vida de indivíduos em hemodiálise.

INTRODUCTION: The changes imposed by kidney disease and its treatment negatively affect the quality of life of individuals with kidney disease. Physical activity is reported as a therapeutic alternative in this population; however, most patients undergoing hemodialysis have low levels of physical activity. OBJECTIVE: To verify the correlation between physical activity and quality of life in individuals with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS: This study is observational, analytical, descriptive, and quantitative developed in one of the Hemodialysis Units in the Northwest region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in tertiary clinical care, during the period from November 2018 to February 2019. Individuals over 18 years old and undergoing hemodialysis for chronic kidney disease for more than three months; belonging to the hemodialysis service. Data collection was performed by analyzing clinical and electronic medical records and semi-structured interviews. Evaluation using pedometers and the Kidney Disease and Quality of Life Short FormKDQOL-SFTM questionnaire was used. Regression modeling analyzes were performed to test the association between the number of steps/ day and the evaluated outcomes. RESULTS: 40 (Forty) patients were included in the sample, of which 70% are men, with a mean age of 59.9 ± 13.0 years. In the correlation between physical activity and quality of life, the number of steps / day had a significant correlation with the dimensions symptoms and problems (r=0,523;p=0,003), effects of the disease (r=0,458; p=0,010), sexual function (r=0,361;p=0,050), sleep (r=0,357;p=0,049), physical function (r=0,617;p=<0,001), physical role (r=0,504;p=0,004), pain (r=0,496; p=0,005), emotional well-being (r=0,407; p=0,023), emotional role (r=0,435;p=0,014), social function (r=0,522;p=0,003), energy / fatigue (r=0,436;p=0,014) and physical composition (r=0,598;p=<0,001). The sample profile variables did not correlate with the number of steps/day. CONCLUSION: There was a positive correlation between physical activity and quality of life; that is, the higher the average number of steps/day, the better the quality of life of individuals undergoing hemodialysis.
