    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to investigate what is the best anthropometric predictor of arterial hypertension among private school students.

    Method:

    this was a cross-sectional study with 286 students between the ages of 10 and 14 from two private schools in the city of Paranavaí, Paraná, Brazil. The following variables were analyzed: body mass index, waist circumference and blood pressure. Statistical analysis was conducted with Pearson’s partial correlation test and multivariate logistic regression, with p<0.05.

    Results:

    both anthropometric indicators displayed weak correlation with systolic and diastolic levels, with coeffi cients (r) ranging from 0.27 to 0.36 (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the only anthropometric indicator associated with arterial hypertension was waist circumference (OR= 2.3; 95% CI: 1.1-4.5), regardless of age or gender.

    Conclusion:

    this age group, waist circumference appeared to be a better predictor for arterial hypertension than body mass index.

    Perception of primary healthcare management nurses on the nursing process

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    this qualitative study aimed to analyze the perceptions of primary health care management nurses on the nursing process.

    Method:

    data were collected through interviews and analyzed by the Content Analysis proposed by Bardin’s theoretical framework.

    Results:

    managers recognize the importance of the nursing process, although its implementation was not a priority at the time of the interviews. A conceptual diffi culty and a lack of understanding that the implementation of the care methodology should be a cross-departmental action in the local healthcare management were clearly observed.

    Conclusion:

    managers should have their perspectives broadened concerning the relevance of the nursing process and the professional training. The active participation of legislative nursing bodies, local healthcare management and the federal government may open the way for the effective implementation of the nursing process.

    Cross-cultural cultural adaptation of the “Nursing Students’ Attitudes Toward Mental Health Nursing and Consumers” in Brazil

    RESEARCH

    Cross-cultural cultural adaptation of the “Nursing Students’ Attitudes Toward Mental Health Nursing and Consumers” in Brazil

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to make across-cultural adaptation of the “Nursing Students’ Attitudes Toward Mental Health Nursing and Consumers” scale in Brazil.

    Method:

    the scale was tested regarding conceptual, item, semantic, and operational equivalence.

    Results:

    content validation was conducted by an expert committee with a minimum consensus level of 80%. This process resulted in a 35-item scale divided into 6 factors. The experts reached 100% consensus on the scale’s clarity of language, practical pertinence and theoretical relevance, as well as on the need for excluding one factor. Data were collected in 2013 in the city of Londrina, Paraná, Brazil.

    Conclusion:

    the instrument was cross-culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese and presented satisfactory content validity. We propose further studies on the scale’s psychometric properties, such as construct validity, internal consistency and reliability.

    Relational skills and preserving patient privacy in the caring process

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to analyze the development and mobilization of relational skills central to the caring process among nursing students throughout their professional training.

    Method:

    this was a quantitative study, descriptive and cross-sectional in design. The sample consisted of nursing undergraduate students from the Higher School of Health Sciences, in the city of Évora, Portugal. Data were collected using the previously validated Helping Relational Skills Inventory.

    Results:

    the students gradually acquired “generic skills”, “communication skills” and “contact skills”, presenting the highest mean score in the last year of the program. However, the highest mean score for the “empathetic skills” subscale was presented by second-year students.

    Conclusion:

    age and year in program were found to be decisive variables regarding the acquisition of specifi c skills (empathetic and communication) by nursing students.

    Este título do Editorial de 2015 bem poderia ser de uma revista publicada em décadas passadas, período em que todas as entidades profissionais e a sociedade civil lutaram pela saúde como direito, como conquistado na Constituição de 1988. Vinte e cinco anos depois, com o Sistema Único de Saúde capilarizado por todo o país, mesmo […]

    The title of the 2015 Editor’s Comments could very well be from a journal published in decades past, a time when, in Brazil, all professional entities and civil society fought for the right to health, as was later established in the Brazilian Constitution of 1988. Twenty-five years later, despite its financial limitations and restricted operational […]

    Objetivo:

    descrever o julgamento clínico de enfermagem para identificar diagnósticos NANDA e desenvolver um plano de tratamento NIC para uma criança em pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca em terapia intensiva.

    Método:

    estudo de caso com coleta de dados retrospectiva no prontuário.

    Resultados:

    três enfermeiras identificaram diagnósticos NANDA e intervenções NIC. Criança de 6 meses, submetida a cirurgia cardíaca, necessitou oxigenação extracorpórea por membrana no pós-operatório. Foram identificados quatro principais diagnósticos, aos quais foram direcionadas dez intervenções. A proposta de intervenções para responder às necessidades humanas prioritárias da criança foi otimizada pelo uso das terminologias padronizadas. Todos os diagnósticos foram sustentados por indicadores diagnósticos; todas as intervenções foram cientificamente sustentadas.

    Conclusão:

    espera-se que os enfermeiros abordem não somente as respostas fisiológicas, mas também aquelas dos domínios psicossociais.

    Adverse events and safety in nursing care

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2015;68(1):144-154

    DOI 10.1590/0034-7167.2015680120i

    Views0

    Objective:

    to identify the scientific publications about adverse events in nursing care in adult hospitalized patients and discuss the main adverse events in nursing care.

    Method:

    Integrative revision with a qualitative approach. The data were collected at LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF and the library SCIELO and were submitted to thematic analysis.

    Results:

    three categories were developed: Adverse events in nursing care; The main causes of the adverse events in nursing care; Attitude of nursing professionals in face of errors. The main events were identified in nursing care with emphasis on the medication error, the failure to perform dressings and falls of patients. The importance of instruments was emphasized for notification of adverse events in the institutions. However the fear of punishment on professionals stimulates the underreporting of events.

    Conclusion:

    it is important to discuss effective prevention strategies that ensure patient safety in healthcare institutions.
