    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to understand the perceptions of women and health professionals regarding childbirth care at a teaching hospital in the western state of Paraná, Brazil.

    Methods:

    this qualitative study employed Grounded Theory, conducted in an obstetric care service with 38 participants (women and health professionals) through semi-structured interviews.

    Results:

    limitations in physical infrastructure and management of care, along with the women’s limited knowledge about the childbirth process and the decision-making and guidance of professionals, show conflicting obstetric practices-a discrepancy between good practices and obstetric violence. Training in obstetric nursing and active participation in care, alongside the presence of a companion, were identified as intervening conditions and strategies in the process.

    Final Considerations:

    childbirth care is characterized by dichotomous practices. While some professionals base their practices on scientific evidence, others rely on teachings and experiences from the time of their training.

    RESUMEN

    Objetivos:

    analizar la relación entre religión y experiencia profesional con la inteligencia espiritual en enfermeros.

    Métodos:

    estudio transversal y analítico realizado en 2021, participaron 544 profesionales de enfermería que laboraban en establecimiento de salud de Perú durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Para el análisis de los datos se emplearon el análisis de regresión múltiple y correlación de Pearson.

    Resultados:

    en los enfermeros predominó un nivel de inteligencia espiritual saludable (42,8%). Quienes no profesaban una religión tenían mayor probabilidad de tener menor puntaje de inteligencia espiritual (escala global y dimensiones); sin embargo, los enfermeros expertos tuvieron mayor probabilidad de tener mayor inteligencia espiritual (escala global y dimensiones) que los enfermeros novatos (p<0,05).

    Conclusiones:

    la inteligencia espiritual en los enfermeros fue predicha por la religión y la experiencia profesional. Este hallazgo sugiere que la inteligencia espiritual en enfermería se consolida mediante prácticas religiosas y durante el ejercicio profesional.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to understand the nursing team’s perception in relation to the care provided to pregnant women with mental disorders admitted to a psychiatric hospital unit.

    Methods:

    Convergent Care Research carried out between August and December 2021, through semi-structured interviews with 25 nursing professionals from a Psychiatric Unit from a reference Hospital in Southern Brazil.

    Results:

    the organized and analyzed data resulted in two thematic categories: Technical, generic and impersonal care; and From impersonality to the singularity of nursing care. Ensuring unique care for pregnant women with mental disorders means giving them a meaning of existence and providing care from a multidimensional and continuous perspective.

    Final Considerations:

    nursing care for pregnant women in psychiatric hospitalization requires continuous professional qualification, interactive technologies and support for the nursing process, in addition to promoting singular and multidimensional care.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze the relationship between the nursing practice environment and hospital sociotechnical complexity as perceived by nurses.

    Methods:

    a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study was conducted in a hospital in southern Brazil. The Brazilian version of the Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index and the Complexity Characterization Questionnaire were administered to 132 nurses. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 participants, and the data were subjected to thematic analysis. Data integration was achieved through a connection approach.

    Results:

    the nursing practice environment was found to be favorable, except in the subscale concerning Staffing and Resource Adequacy, where complexity was present in the activities. The three emerging categories explained human and technical aspects related to complexity in the practice environment, quality of care, and patient safety. Unexpected variability was inversely correlated with the practice environment.

    Conclusions:

    the study results indicate a relationship between these constructs, with implications for the quality and the safety of care.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze the factors associated with maternal well-being during childbirth among postpartum women in Minas Gerais.

    Methods:

    a cross-sectional study nested within a cohort was conducted with postpartum women in a municipality of Minas Gerais. The Maternal Well-being in Childbirth Scale 2 was used. The prevalence of maternal well-being during childbirth was estimated. The magnitude of the association between maternal distress and care practices was estimated using the Prevalence Ratio (PR), applying Poisson regression.

    Results:

    a total of 183 postpartum women aged between 15 and 46 years participated, with 26.2%, 27.9%, and 45.9% reporting excellent, adequate, and poor well-being during childbirth care, respectively. Maternal distress was more prevalent among women who underwent cesarean sections (PR = 1.60) and those who did not receive breastfeeding information (PR = 1.59).

    Conclusions:

    a high prevalence of maternal distress during childbirth was observed, associated with cesarean delivery and the lack of breastfeeding information.

    RESUMO

    Objetivos:

    verificar a prevalência e os fatores associados à dor musculoesquelética em trabalhadores do serviço hospitalar de limpeza.

    Métodos:

    estudo transversal, realizado com trabalhadores de limpeza de um hospital de ensino do Sul do Brasil. Utilizaram-se questionário com variáveis sociodemográficas, laborais e de saúde, o Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire e o Diagrama de Corlett e Manenica. Realizou-se análise bivariada.

    Resultados:

    participaram 149 trabalhadores. Prevaleceu dor musculoesquelética na coluna lombar no último ano (65,8%) e últimos sete dias (42,3%). Constataram-se associações entre automedicação e dor na parte inferior das costas (p=0,020) e ombros (p=0,026); sedentarismo, oito horas de sono diárias e dor nos tornozelos (p=0,041) e pés (p=0,039); ex-tabagismo, uso de medicamento e dor nos punhos (p=0,015) e mãos (p=0,004).

    Conclusões:

    prevaleceram lombalgias associadas a hábitos de saúde e vida. Um programa de educação em saúde e recomendações de melhorias nos processos de trabalho podem minimizar a exposição à dor musculoesquelética.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to analyze the quality of life of high-risk pregnant women.

    Methods:

    an observational and cross-sectional study, carried out in a tertiary maternity hospital located in Fortaleza, with 276 high-risk pregnant women. A questionnaire was applied containing socioddemographic, clinical and obstetric data and The Mother-Generated Index. Descriptive analyzes were performed using the Jamovi statistical program®, version 0.9.

    Results:

    most areas were negatively influenced by pregnancy. “Satisfaction with pregnancy”, “family relationship” and “relationship with the partner” obtained the highest means of primary score, while “physical condition/disposition” and “financing” obtained the lowest means. The highest secondary scores were in “satisfaction with pregnancy”, “family relationship” and “relationship with the partner”, while the lowest were in “financing” and “psychological/emotional”.

    Conclusion:

    the total primary score mean was 6.03, suggesting a good quality of life. The Mother Generated Index made it possible to identify aspects of life that go beyond pre-formulated assessments of the construct.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to evaluate the nursing team knowledge of a cancer hospital on care for patients with Malignant Fungating Wounds (MFW) and to analyze associated sociodemographic and educational factors.

    Method:

    an observational and cross-sectional study, conducted between September and October 2015, after approval by the Research Ethics Committee. A questionnaire was applied containing sociodemographic, educational and related components to the accomplishment of dressings, dressings choice and orientation. Data were analyzed by using Chi-square, Fisher’s exact test, Student’s t-Test and Pearson’s correlation.

    Results:

    37 professionals participated in the study, most of whom were technicians (56.8%), women (91.9%) and with a mean age of 32 years. The professionals presented 56.5% of correct answers. There were no statistically significant associations between sociodemographic/educational variables and number of correct answers.

    Conclusion:

    there was a lack of important knowledge about care for patients with MFW, which should guide strategies for the oncology staff training.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to analyze the attitudes, knowledge and skills that make up the professional competencies of nurses working in indigenous territories.

    Method:

    this is an exploratory-descriptive study with a qualitative approach, conducted with nurses working in the Xingu Indigenous Park in 2016. Data were obtained in semi-structured interviews and treated according to the thematic-categorical analysis method.

    Results:

    the nurse’s performance in the Xingu Indigenous Park has a multifaceted character, being defined by the territory’s interculturality and specificities and by how the service is organized. Technical skills, concepts from anthropology and attitudes that facilitate a respectful dialogue with cultural difference are required for a professional to act in this context.

    Final considerations:

    the performance of health professionals in indigenous territories requires specificities associated with the acquisition of new knowledge, attitudes and skills geared to the intercultural dimension of the work developed.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To evaluate the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) and to correlate functional capacity with quality of life (QoL) of hospitalized octogenarians.

    Method:

    A cross-sectional study with 128 patients using the quality of life instruments WHOQOL-OLD and WHOQOL-BREF and the Katz Scale.

    Results:

    The majority of patients was fully dependent; patients with higher schooling had less independence; older adults with partial dependence and independence had higher scores in perceived QoL; in the domains of autonomy, past, present and future activities; and better overall QoL than those with full dependence. Partially dependent patients had higher scores in the death and dying domain than independent patients.

    Conclusion:

    Older adults’ QoL is associated with the maintenance of autonomy and functional capacity. Older adults experience a health decline during the hospitalization process, due to the limitation in performing their ADL and lack of encouragement by the health team.

    ABSTRACT

    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.

    Method:

    cross-sectional study developed from February to October of 2017 with 183 patients undergoing hemodialysis in two renal units located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. 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.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to evaluate the effects of music on the physiological stress and distress of cancer patients being treated in a hospital.

    Methods:

    quasi-experimental study carried out with cancer patients hospitalized in the nursing wards of a public hospital. There was a single 15-minute intervention using music. It was individual, and headphones were used for patients to listen to three songs chosen by each one. The levels of stress and distress were measured before and after the intervention, using music to analyze the cortisol in the saliva and the answers to the distress thermometer. The significance level of the statistical analysis was 5%, using the non-parametric Wilcoxon test.

    Results:

    the mean age of the 26 patients was 56 years old. Most were female, white, and had breast cancer. After intervention, there were statistically significant diminutions in both stress and distress — p < 0.001.

    Conclusions:

    the use of music diminishes the stress and the distress of cancer patients.
