Adaptation and validation of the Physical Restraint-Theory of Planned Behaviour Questionnaire to the paediatric context.

OBJECTIVE: To create and test psychometrically a paediatric version of the Physical Restraint-Theory of Planned Behaviour Questionnaire to assess paediatric critical care nurses' intention to use physical restraint. DESIGN: A psychometric study. SETTING: Five medical-surgical Paeditric Intensive care Units from five hospitals in Spain. METHODS: The study took place in three phases. In phase 1, the questionnaire was adapted. In phase 2, the content validity of each item was determined, and a pilot test was conducted. In phase 3, we administered the questionnaire and determined its psychometric properties. RESULTS: The assessment of the intention to use physical restraint was extended to all critical paediatric patients, two items were eliminated from the initial questionnaire, four new items were included, and the clinical scenarios of the intention subscale were expanded from three to six. Overall content validity index for the full instrument of 0.96 out of 1. The Paediatric Physical Restraint-Theory of Planned Behaviour Questionnaire is made up of four subscales (attitude, subjective norms (SN), perceived behavioural control (PBC), and intention) subdivided into 7 factors and 51 items. The internal consistency for the attitude subscale obtained a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.80 to 0.73, for the SN it was 0.72 to 0.89, for the PBC it was from 0.80 to 0.73 and for the intention subscale it was 0.75. CONCLUSIONS: The Paediatric Physical Restraint-Theory of Planned Behaviour Questionnaire is an instrument composed of seven factors and 51 items that validly and reliably assesses the intention of paediatric nurses to apply PR in PICUs. RELEVANCE FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE: Having this instrument will help health centres move towards restraint-free care by allowing managers to assess professionals' attitudes, beliefs, and intentions around the use of PR in PICUs.

[IMPACT OF LATERALITY-LOCATION IN THE CONSUMPTION OF HEALTH PRODUCTS IN A HEMODIALYSIS UNIT]. / Impacto de La ubicación-lateralidad: EN EL CONSUMO DE PRODUCTOS SANITARIOS EN UNA UNIDAD DE HEMODIÁLISIS.

UNLABELLED: INTRODUCTION. The objective is to determine whether laterality-location inside shopping cures three health resources (gauze, bandages and physiological sera [PS] from 10 cc) influences the amount of material consumed in the Cabinet of Hemodialysis of the Fundaci6 Puigvert. METHODOLOGY: Quasi-experimental study with no control group post test type. The sample consisted of thirty expert nurses (non-probability convenience sampling). The study was conducted between March and August 2014. For two months, the three medical devices remained on the right side of the carriage cures for two months in the middle and finally two months on the left side. The analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software, for all tests a significance level < .005 was used. RESULTS: Average age of 40.4 years and a mean old in the Cabinet of 14 years. Increased consumption and gauze PS is observed when the products are placed on the right side of center but is not significant (p > .005). Dressings consumption is higher on the right than in the center (p < .001). The consumption of the three health products is lower on the left side of the truck when placed in the center (p <.001) or right side (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The laterality-location has a direct influence on the consumption of medical supplies. Consumption on the left side is less than in the center and on the right side. The laterality-location is a good management strategy.

Risk factors of catheter- associated bloodstream infection: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) is high and is a severe health problem associated with an increase in mortality and elevated economic costs. There are discrepancies related to the risk factors of CLABSI since the results published are very heterogeneous and there is no synthesis in the description of all the predisposing factors. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize and establish the risk factors predisposing to CLABSI reported in the literature. METHOD: This is a systematic review of observational studies following the PRISMA recommendations. MEDLINE and CINAHL databases were searched for primary studies from 2007 to 2021. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO CRD42018083564. RESULTS: A total of 654 studies were identified, 23 of which were included in this systematic review. The meta-analysis included 17 studies and 9 risk factors were analyzed (total parenteral nutrition (TPN), chemotherapy, monolumen and bilumen catheters, days of catheterization, immunosuppression, kidney disease and diabetes mellitus) due to the homogeneity of their definitions and measurements. The risk factors found to increase the probability of developing CLABSI were TPN, multilumen devices, chemotherapy treatment, immunosuppression and the number of days of catheterization. On the other hand, monolumen devices presented a lower likelihood of triggering this infection.

[Present and future of the SEPAR Smoking and Health Area]. / Presente y futuro del Area de Tabaquismo de la SEPAR.

Smoking is the primary avoidable cause of premature death and morbidity in our country. According to data from the WHO, tobacco costs more than 5 million lives per year, a figure that is assumed to continue increasing and will be 10 million by the year 2030. As health professionals we are obliged to be actively involved in this serious health problem, by correctly identifying, diagnosing and treating all smokers to help them in the process of giving up and help them achieve total abstinence. There is scientific evidence that smoking is the direct cause and reason for the worsening of many respiratory diseases, which due to their nature are basically the responsibility of the pneumologist, who officially, according to the Health Service Administration, is the specialist and expert in this area. The Smoking and Health Area of SEPAR was started in 1995. Its primary objectives were to increase the awareness of the smoking problem among the members of our Scientific Society, improve their scientific knowledge of this diseases, to help in diagnostic and treatment interventions in smokers, and lastly, to promote interventions for the prevention and treatment of smoking by the health and political Administrations. Nowadays it is one of the most dynamic areas of SEPAR and has more than 400 members. There are many unresolved challenges in our area, but the fundamental one which continues to occupy a particular place for the Administration, for our patients, for other health professionals of other specialties and scientific societies, and for all SEPAR professionals, is a key aspect of which there is no doubt: to defend the health and well-being of our population against the main cause of avoidable disease and death, tobacco.
