Care bundle for family interview for pediatric organ donation.

PURPOSE: to develop a care bundle for best practices in conducting the family interview for organ and tissue donation with the families of children and adolescents. DESIGN AND METHODS: methodological study, with a qualitative approach, developed in Brazil, in three stages: literature review, qualitative study with professionals and family members, and development of the care bundle. RESULTS: Nine studies were selected and 17 health professionals and nine family members were interviewed. With this data, the care bundle was developed in three categories: communication of death, emotional support and information about organ and tissue donation. The recommendations were evaluated by five external professionals and all of them assessed the bundle as having the highest possible quality. CONCLUSIONS: the care bundle was built following the stages of integrative literature review and interviews with professionals working in this scenario and family members who have already gone through a family interview for organ and tissue donation of children and adolescents. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: the use of this material is seen as an important resource to support the professional during the conduction of the family interview in a scenario as sensitive and challenging as the care to family members facing death and the decision of organ and tissue donation of children and adolescents.

Management actions for prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections: A grounded theory approach.

AIM: To understand the management actions for prevention and control of health care-associated infections (HAIs) performed by health professionals. BACKGROUND: Prevention of nosocomial infections has evidence-based practice at its essence, but not all institutions are successful in implementing prevention methodology. METHODS: Qualitative research with Grounded Theory methodological framework. The research was carried out in two southern Brazilian hospitals. Data collected were employed through open interviews with 21 health professionals and managers. This process occurred concurrently with the data analysis, through constant comparative analysis. RESULTS: The understanding of the co-responsibility of managerial actions emerged as a central phenomenon of the theoretical model. Management actions for the prevention and control of HAIs are a collective phenomenon, in which co-responsibility sustains the effectiveness of the offered assistance. The behaviours of health teams in the face of structural and human weaknesses influence the construction of a supportive relationship in the effectiveness of patient safety actions. CONCLUSIONS: The sharing of responsibilities between professionals and the actions of prevention and control of HAIs arising from this conduct positively influence the promotion of safer and improved quality care. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing managers should consider applying the tools to prevent and control HAIs and generate in-depth discussion to promote institution's cultural changes.

Breast Cancer Care Network coordination: analysis in the light of the lean methodology for early diagnosis. / Coordenação da Rede de Atenção ao Câncer de Mama: análise à luz da filosofia lean para o diagnóstico precoce.

This study aimed to analyze the application of the lean philosophy in the Health Care Network (RAS) for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. This case study was produced with data from interviews, document analysis, and observation and was conducted from June to July 2019. The setting was the seat of the municipality of the North Metropolitan Region, Ceará State, Brazil, involving three points of the RAS (Primary Care Unit, Medical Specialties Center, and Polyclinic). The following issues were identified: long waiting times, first-come-first-served care, and insufficient medical workload. Implementing the theoretical model of lean philosophy would reduce the total process time from 36 days to 15 in the Primary Care Unit/Medical Specialty Center flow and from 33 to 13 days in the Primary Care Unit/Polyclinic. The presented model is an efficient reference for improving the management and early diagnosis of breast cancer in the RAS.

Continuity of care for children with chronic conditions: mixed methods research.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the continuity of care for children with chronic conditions from the transition from hospital to home. METHOD: Parallel-convergent mixed-methods research, with a cross-sectional study and Grounded Theory. A characterization instrument and the Care Transitons Measure were applied to 201 legal guardians of children with chronic conditions, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 35 participants (among professionals and guardians). Data were combined by integration. RESULTS: The efforts of the hospital team to promote continuity of care after discharge from the transition from hospital to home impact on the quality-of-care transition perceived by caregivers, with a mean of 89.5 (standard deviation = 12.5) points. However, the absence of formal mechanisms to guide the transition of care makes it difficult to achieve continuity of care in the health network. CONCLUSION: Continuity of care for children is hindered by barriers, against which hospital care professionals seek individual strategies to overcome them. It is essential to establish institutional actions and public policies aiming at the transition of care to promote continuity of care.

Quality of child and adolescent care transitions considering the presence of chronic disease.

OBJECTIVES: to analyze the quality of child and adolescent care transitions from hospital to home, considering the presence of chronic disease. METHODS: quantitative, cross-sectional study, carried out from February to September 2019 in two hospitals in the south of Brazil. We used an instrument to characterize participants and the Care Transitions Measure (CTM-15) for the legal tutors of children and adolescents that were discharged from the institutions. RESULTS: the general mean of the quality of transition of care was 87.9 (SD=13.4), in a scale from 0 to100). We found a significant difference in the quality of transition of care when comparing patients with and without chronic disease (90.0 and 84.3; p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS: we found the quality of the transition of care to be satisfactory, with better results for patients with chronic disease. This can help understand the most impactful aspects in the transition of care, especially in regard to children health.
