Incidence and Risk Factors for Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury in Hemodynamically Unstable Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and identify potential risk factors for medical device-related pressure injury (MDRPI) in critically ill and hemodynamically unstable adults (patients classified class III or IV on the Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System-28; TISS-28). DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: The target population was critically ill adults who were using one or more medical devices and categorized as class III or IV on the TISS-28. The study sample comprised 77 participants followed daily until discharge, death, transfer, or lesion development. Data were collected from January to March 2020. The study setting was an intensive care unit with 40 beds in a large hospital in a municipality in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. METHODS: Sociodemographic and pertinent clinical data, pressure injury (PI) risk assessed using the Braden Scale for Pressure Sore Risk, and head-to-toe skin inspections were completed. The incidence rate of MDRPIs was calculated, and survival analyses were completed via the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model. RESULTS: Forty-nine of 77 participants developed an MDRPI, reflecting an incidence rate of 63.6%. Collectively, 71 MDRPIs occurred in these 49 participants. Univariate analysis indicated significant associations between MDRPI occurrences and level of consciousness (P = < .001), use of tube holder for ventilation devices (P = .013), nasal cannula (P = .034), nasogastric cannula (P = .034), presence of edema (P = .001), infection (P = .007), higher TISS score (P = .047), and greater number of medical devices (P = .022). Survival analysis indicated that a high or very high-risk score on the Braden Scale for Pressure Sore Risk (P = .043) and edema (P = .030) are risk factors for MDRPI occurrences in this vulnerable population. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence rate of MDRPIs was 63.6%. The categories with the highest high or very high risk scores on the Braden Scale for Risk of Pressure Pain and Edema emerged as risk factors for MDRPI in this critically ill and vulnerable population.

Prevalence of Anxiety and Depression in Persons With Ostomies: A Cross-sectional Study.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to measure the prevalence of anxiety and depression in adults with ostomies and to identify associated factors. DESIGN: A descriptive cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: The sample comprised 120 adults; all reside in a health region in the state of Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil. METHODS: Participants responded to a questionnaire designed for purposes of this study. The questionnaire included 2 validated instruments-the Beck Depression Inventory and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. In addition to measuring the prevalence of depression and anxiety, we used logistic regression models to identify factors associated with depression and anxiety. A backward method was adopted and the goodness-of-fit of the model was evaluated through the Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test. An odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was used to measure the effect size of these associations. RESULTS: The prevalence of depression in our sample was 26.7% (n = 32; 95% CI, 18.6-34.6). Slightly more than half of respondents (53.1%, n = 17) had mild depression, 34.3% (n = 11) had moderate depression, and 12.6% (n = 4) had had severe depression. The prevalence of anxiety in our sample was 52.5% (n = 63; 95% CI, 43.4-61.5). Slightly less than half 47.6% (n = 30) had mild anxiety; 36.5% (n = 23) reported moderate and 15.9% (n = 10) reported severe anxiety. The final multiple logistic regression model indicated that respondents with less supportive family relationships were more likely to have depression than respondents with greater family support (OR, 3.83; 95% CI, 1.30-11.25). Similarly, respondents with anxiety were more likely to experience depression when compared to individuals reporting no anxiety (OR, 6.32; 95% CI, 2.26-17.65). CONCLUSIONS: Anxiety and depression are prevalent in adults living with an ostomy; anxiety was more prevalent than depression. Respondents with less support from their family and those with anxiety were more likely to experience depression.

Calidad de vida asociada con polifarmacia en personas con lesiones cutáneas crónicas.

OBJETIVO: Analizar la asociación entre el uso de polifarmacia y la calidad de vida de personas con lesiones cutáneas crónicas. MÉTODO: Estudio transversal con una muestra conformada por 146 personas afectadas por lesiones cutáneas crónicas, vinculadas con la atención primaria de salud. La recolección de datos se realizó entre julio de 2017 y febrero de 2018. La información se recopiló mediante un cuestionario sociodemográfico y el cuestionario Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule (CWIS). RESULTADOS: Hubo predominio de hipertensión arterial sistémica en 86 personas (58,9%) y de diabetes mellitus en 50 (34,2%). La etiología de la lesión cutánea predominante fue vasculogénica (38,4%), y se identificó polifarmacia en el 46,7% de los pacientes. En el cuestionario CWIS, el dominio con el puntaje promedio más bajo fue el bienestar (promedio de 46,2±17,9). Hubo asociación estadísticamente significativa (p<0.05) entre polifarmacia y las siguientes variables: dominio de "síntomas físicos/vida diaria", dominio de "vida social" y "autosatisfacción con la calidad de vida". CONCLUSIÓN: La polifarmacia está asociada con un detrimento en la calidad de vida de personas con lesiones cutáneas crónicas. Por lo tanto, los profesionales de la salud que trabajan en la atención primaria deberían considerar la terapia farmacológica en sus planes de atención, coordinar con asistencia médica y farmacéutica la elaboración de estrategias de monitoreo de los riesgos que involucran la polifarmacia, y evaluar sus impactos en la calidad de vida.

Disability Among Adults in Brazil With a Colostomy: A Cross-sectional, Descriptive Study.

People with an ostomy need care appropriate to their needs and should be encouraged to adapt to their situation. In Brazil, persons with a stoma meet the legal definition of being disabled, enabling them to access comprehensive health care services. PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the degree of disability experienced by persons with a colostomy. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among people with a colostomy in one Brazilian public health service. Between May 2017 and January 2018, persons at least 18 years of age who had a colostomy for at least 3 months were eligible to participate. Sociodemographic and stoma characteristic variables were collected, and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0 was used to assesses perceived levels of disability. Higher scores indicated greater degree of difficulty. All persons with a WHODAS score ⟩0 were classified as disabled. Descriptive statistics, chi-squared, and Fisher's exact tests were used for data analysis, with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: Among the 58 predominantly elderly participants (29 women, 29 men; mean age 64 ± 12 years), the overall mean WHODAS score suggested a small degree of impairment (3.1 ± 7.1). The highest scores were observed in the domains participation (6.3 ± 16.1), mobility (5.6 ± 17.3), and life activities (5.3 ± 15.6). The majority of participants (41, 70.7%) had a disability score of 0 (no disability). The proportion of persons who did or did not perceive any level of disability did not differ significantly by the stoma variables assessed. CONCLUSION: Based on the WHODAS scores, the majority of study participants did not perceive themselves as being physically disabled. Other clinical studies should advance this discussion in order to better understand the perception and reality of disability among ostomates.

ANTHROPOMETRIC AND DIETETIC EVALUATION OF PEOPLE WITH ILEOSTOMIES.

BACKGROUND: The maintenance of nutrition for the person with ileostomy is a major challenge despite to the proper management of stoma eliminations. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of people with ileostomy. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study carried out on a population of 17 people with ileostomy enrolled in the Service of Attention to the Health of the Person with Stoma of level II, referring to a health region in Minas Gerais. The anthropometric evaluation consisted of the collection of weight, height, and calculation of body mass index. A 24-hour food recall and the nutritional assessment method Global Subjective Assessment were also evaluated. The data were analyzed by the Dietbox software, where the ingested nutrients were estimated, and by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22.0. RESULTS: There was a predominance of a population composed of people over 50 years old, female, married and single, with family income between two and three minimum wages, incomplete elementary school and that did not exercise paid activity. The cancer was given as the main diagnosis that originated the stoma and had a surgery time of less than two years. Regarding nutritional status, most of the interviewees presented adequate body mass index, but more than half reported significant weight loss after the ileostomy. The predominant nutritional diagnosis provided by the General Subjective Assessment was "suspected malnutrition/moderate malnutrition". On the other hand, the contribution of energy, carbohydrates, lipids, sodium, potassium, magnesium and vitamin B12 was considered insufficient in almost all the participants. CONCLUSION: Therefore, it is suggested the periodic evaluation of the nutritional status of this population. Thus, it is expected that preventive, therapeutic and maintenance dietary diagnosis and planning may contribute to the nutritional status of the person with the ileostomy.

Prevalence and Management of Urinary Incontinence in a Brazilian Hospital: A Prospective, Descriptive Study.

Although urinary incontinence (UI) in hospitalized patients is a frequent health problem, research on the subject is limited. PURPOSE: A prospective, descriptive study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of UI, care implemented among hospitalized adult patients, and impact of UI on quality of life (QoL) in a large private institution in Brazil. METHODS: All patients admitted during November 2018 who were at least 18 years of age, sufficiently conscious and oriented to answer questions, able to undergo skin inspection, and had the ability to urinate (ie, did not use an indwelling bladder catheter or have a nephrostomy, cystostomy, urostomy, or vesicostomy) were eligible to participate. Data were collected through interviews, physical examinations, chart review, and completion of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICQI-SF), a self-diagnostic, 6-item survey of UI frequency, amount of leakage, and overall impact of UI; answers for items 3 (6 answer options), 4 (4 answer options), and 5 (Likert scale ranging from 0 to 10) were considered individually and summed for a total score ranging from 0 to 21. Data were collected using paper forms and then double-entered and validated in a spreadsheet for statistical analysis. Continuous variables were described as mean/median and standard deviation. Categorical variables were described in absolute numbers and percentages. Pearson's chi-squared test and Fischer's exact test were used to investigate the variable statistical differences. The level of significance was 5%, and the intervals were obtained with 95% confidence. Prevalence was defined as the percentage of people with UI over the study period in all admitted patients. RESULTS: Of the 858 eligible patients, 114 were incontinent (13.3%), but 61 were unable to answer the research questions, 2 used catheterization, and 9 refused to participate; therefore 42 patients (age 80 [range 77.6-82.3] years, 30 [71.4%] women) completed the study. All patients (100%) were managed using diapers. Twenty-one (21, 50%) were married, 24 (57.1%) were white, and 25 (59.5%) were retired. Sixteen (16, 38.1%) had urine loss several times a day, and 17 (40.5%) had urine loss in large amounts; 10 (23.8%) had incontinence-associated dermatitis. The ICQI-SF item regarding interference of urine loss in daily life had a reported mean of 4.1 ± 4.0, inferring urine loss interfered with life; mean ICQI-SF score was 12.1 ± 5.86, implying UI had a moderate impact on QoL. CONCLUSION: The 13.3% prevalence of UI was similar to previous studies. The absence of a protocol for incontinence management was identified. The results suggest additional, larger sample UI prevalence studies need to be conducted.

Factors associated with the risk of fall in adults in the postoperative period: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: to assess the factors associated with the risk of fall in patients undergoing surgical procedures. Method: quantitative and cross-sectional study carried out with 257 adult patients in a hospital in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data were collected using the sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, the Morse Fall Scale, and the Quality of Recovery Score. Data were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis and multinomial logistic regression. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Results: 35.4% of patients had high risk of falls, 38.9% had moderate risk and 25.7% had low risk. The mean value in the surgical recovery scale was 175.37 points and no patient presented poor surgical recovery. Regarding the results of the bivariate analysis, it was found that age (p<0.001), SAH (p<0.001) and diabetes (p=0.017) were positively associated with high risk of fall, whereas cancer (p=0.004) was positively associated with moderate risk of fall. Surgical recovery (p=0,008) was inversely associated with high risk of fall. Conclusion: the results of this study allowed the identification of five factors associated with the risk of fall in adults in the postoperative hospital stay. These findings may support the planning of nursing actions aimed at preventing the risk of fall in the postoperative period.

Avaliação do perfil e da qualidade de vida de pessoas idosas com estomias de eliminação / Assessment of profile and quality of life of elderly people with elimination ostomies / Avaluación del perfil y calidad de vida de las personas mayores con estomas de eliminación

Objetivo:Avaliar o perfil epidemiológico e a qualidade de vida das pessoas idosas com estomias de eliminação de uma microrregião de saúde de Minas Gerais. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado em um serviço público de atenção à saúde. Para descrição do perfil foram avaliados todos os prontuários de pessoas idosas com estomias. Em seguida, foi avaliada a qualidade de vida por meio do questionário City of Hope-Quality of Life-Ostomy Questionnaire. Resultados: Verificou-se uma população majoritariamente feminina (55,2%) com idade média de 67 anos (± 8,8). As estomias eram em 64% definitivas, tendo o câncer colorretal o principal diagnóstico (71%) e em 41,4% apresentavam dependência parcial para o autocuidado. Com relação à avaliação da qualidade de vida, os domínios bem-estar espiritual, físico e social apresentaram melhores indicadores de avaliação (8,1; 8,1; e 8,2 respectivamente). Evidenciou-se que o tipo de estomia e o tempo de permanência se associam negativamente com a qualidade de vida das pessoas com estomias. Conclusão: A qualidade de vida de idosos com estomia de eliminação mostrou-se bem avaliada, principalmente nos domínios bem-estar físico, social e espiritual.

Objective:The aim of this study was to assess the epidemiological profile and quality of life of elderly people with elimination ostomy in a health region in Minas Gerais. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out in a public health care service. To describe the profile, all medical records of elderly people with ostomy were evaluated. Then, quality of life was assessed using the City of Hope-Quality of Life-Ostomy Questionnaire. Results:There was a mostly female population (55.2%) with a mean age of 67 years (± 8.8). In 64%, the ostomies were definitive, with colorectal cancer being the main diagnosis (71%) and in 41.4% they were partially dependent on self-care. Regarding the assessment of quality of life, the domains of spiritual, physical and social well-being had better assessment indicators (8.1; 8.1; and 8.2 respectively). It was evident that the type of ostomy and the length of stay are negatively associated with the quality of life of people with ostomies. Conclusion: The quality of life of elderly people with an elimination ostomy was well evaluated, especially in the domains of physical, social and spiritual well-being.

A Cross-sectional, Descriptive Study of Medication Use Among Persons With a Gastrointestinal Stoma.

Research on the use of medications in people with intestinal stomas is lacking, creating gaps in knowledge of pharmacoepidemiology in these patients. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted over a period of 4 months in Divinópolis, Brazil to describe the profile of medication use among people enrolled in the Health Support Service for People with Stoma - Level II (SSPS II) of a municipality in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. All patients from SSPS II with a colostomy or ileostomy were invited by phone to participate; those with incomplete registration data and/or who were <18 years old, hospitalized for any reason, or had their stoma reversed were excluded from participation. During home interviews, researchers obtained sociodemographic profiles (age, gender, education, occupation, and family income) and information on comorbidities, medication use, adherence to medication protocols (per the Morisky Green Levine test), polypharmacy, and adult/pharmaceutical care (medication description and indication, expiration date, self-medication). Drug storage was assessed by visual evaluation. The information was entered onto individual data sheets, numbered to ensure patient anonymity. The data then were entered into and analyzed using SSPS II statistical software using frequency measurements, measures of central tendency, and dispersion of demographic variables, health conditions, and medicine use. The study population included 59 persons (average age 66.9 ± 13.27 years), 36 (61.0%) women, 38 (64.4%) with an incomplete/primary level education, and 44 (74.5%) retired. Forty-nine (49) patients had a colostomy and 10 had an ileostomy; cancer was the main reason for stoma creation (61.1%). Half of the survey participants reported having 1 or 2 comorbidities (average 2.3); the most prevalent (52) was circulatory system disease among which hypertension (38, 64.4%) was most common. Analysis of the pharmacotherapeutic profile (prescribed and used) showed 89.8% of the study population used medication, and 52.8% were prescribed >5 medications (polypharmacy). Low and medium level adherence with prescriptions was noted (37.7%); 39.6% reported receiving no guidance on the use of the medication associated with their condition. Improper storage was observed in 33.9% of participants. In this population, persons with a stoma had complex pharmacotherapy, a high rate of polypharmacy, and deficiency in guidance on the use of medication. Further research into determining whether investments in both inclusion of a pharmacist on the team and more pharmacoepidemiological studies would improve patient care and medication safety in patients with a stoma is warranted.
