ABSTRACT

Objective:

to understand the family dynamics in face of the reality of the elderly living alone.

Method:

study of qualitative approach with theoretical reference of symbolic interactionism that involved interviews with families. Data were analyzed by thematic analysis.

Results:

six families participated in the study. The discourse analysis originated the following categories: The family respecting their decision making; The family organizing itself to the process of living alone after the age of 80 years; The family experiencing the freedom of living alone.

Conclusion:

in this study, it was possible to identify the facilitation of the possibility of living alone with preparation and agreements between the family during the family life cycle, leading to the feeling of freedom and quality of life of all members. Nursing, as a science responsible for elaborating care strategies, should work together with families to assist in the planning of care plans based on the individual social reality of the family.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to reflect on nursing education, taking into account the principles of complex thinking proposed by Morin.

Method:

reflection based on the principles of the complexity theory by Edgar Morin.

Results:

the application of complexity in teaching proposes an emancipatory education based on questioning and social transformation. It comprises the education of nurses who interact with others as a characteristic of their work. It is necessary to prepare students to develop critical and reflective attitudes and actions to overcome the fragmentation and linearity of knowledge.

Conclusion:

nursing care has been based on a reductionist assistance, reflecting the Cartesian model. Thus, nursing education seeks to comprise shared knowledge and experiences so that no subject or professional overpowers another, accepting the uniqueness of professionals and patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To analyze reflective practice in the teaching-learning process of nurses in residency programs in teaching hospitals in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Methods:

Case study, based on the reflective practice framework, conducted in two teaching hospitals. Observation and interviews were conducted with first and second-year residents, and five participants were included for in-depth analysis, with their data subjected to frequency distribution analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis.

Results:

In 519 observed activities, elements of reflection were identified in 22.2%, especially active listening and expression of doubts. Discourses indicated practice as the best moment for teaching-learning due to its potential to generate reflections. Learning by doing and case discussion were considered potential strategies for reflective learning.

Conclusion:

Know-in-action reflection was evidenced as the predominant formative aspect for residents, with few opportunities for reflection on reflection-in-action.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To analyze the sociodemographic and occupational influences on health professionals’ quality of life.

Method:

This descriptive-exploratory, cross-sectional, analytical, and quantitative study addressed 94 health workers, including nursing technicians, nurses, and physical therapists working in Intensive Care Units in a town in the extreme south of Brazil in 2023. The student’s t-test and Spearman correlation were used.

Results:

A significant positive correlation was found between being a woman and the psychological domain and between income and the social and environmental domain while working hours were inversely related to general QoL. Additionally, workload negatively impacted the physical, psychological, and general QOL, furniture negatively influenced the psychological domain, and equipment was negatively associated with the physical and psychological domain.

Conclusion:

The characteristics of the work environment interfere with several areas of quality of life.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to correlate the development of Burnout Syndrome in higher education professors with the following variables: sociodemographic, economic, work, sleep pattern, level of anxiety and quality of life.

Methods:

observational, analytical, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Data collection took place from August to November 2022, with 140 professors from a private higher education institution in the Western Brazilian Amazon.

Results:

professors who carried out activities outside institutional hours and who had sleep duration < 5 hours, presented lower scores in the personal fulfillment dimension of burnout, with (p=0.002) and (p=0.001), respectively. The higher the scores for the physical (p=0.001), psychological (p=0.000) and social relationships (p=0.002) domains of quality of life, the lower the personal fulfillment scores for the syndrome.

Conclusions:

through linear regression, it was evidenced that several variables explain the development of burnout. Institutional and governmental actions can minimize the negative influence of these variables.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to understand the transitional processes that affect the adaptation of people who live with limitations resulting from leprosy.

Methods:

This is a qualitative study based on the precepts of Transition Theory, mediated by care-research, with 24 people with limitations resulting from leprosy in an ex-hospital colony in Piauí. Semi-structured interviews were carried out. The interviews were analyzed using Iramuteq software.

Results:

the researched-caregivers experienced the four types of transitions, including feelings of fear, worry, loneliness, hopelessness, guilt and a tendency to hide the diagnosis. Breakdowns and resignation were revealed, with spirituality, adaptation to the new life situation and acceptance as facilitating conditions for coping with the transitional process, with a consequent improvement in quality of life.

Final considerations:

the transitional processes had a positive significance, since they contributed to adaptation and the achievement of quality of life.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to analyze the vaccination situation against Mpox in people living with HIV/AIDS in Brazil.

Methods:

an ecological study on the vaccination status against Mpox in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Brazil. The data were collected in April 2023 through information from the Ministry of Health, using the “Microsoft app Power BI,” which is publicly accessible.

Results:

the data analysis revealed that in Brazil, 2,978 doses of the MVA-BN Jynneos Mpox vaccine were administered in PLWHA, resulting in a vaccination coverage of 18.3%, with the southern and southeastern regions showing the lowest and highest vaccination coverage, respectively. Gender-based evaluation showed a higher proportion of vaccinated males.

Conclusions:

we identified low vaccination coverage in all regions of Brazil, highlighting the need for intensified vaccination activities, especially for PLWHA.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To analyze how management practices for sharing knowledge are developed in public hospitals in the context of nursing.

Methods:

Qualitative research, carried out with 15 nurse managers from six public hospitals, from July to September 2022. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed according to content analysis and in a model for sharing knowledge at work.

Results:

Knowledge sharing in nursing occurs through intraand extra-organizational training (training, courses and events), use of digital communication tools (media and social networks) and individual and collective contact between professionals during the service (experiences, exchange of experiences and assessment feedback).

Final considerations:

Sharing knowledge is relevant to nursing work. To improve it, it must be understood that effective sharing occurs from person to person, in their daily practices, and must be conducted as a strategically planned process by nurse managers.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To estimate the incidence and degree of acute radiodermatitis at the end and after the end of treatment in women with breast cancer undergoing hypofractionated radiotherapy.

Methods:

Observational, prospective, and longitudinal study, conducted between March 2019 and January 2020, in a radiotherapy outpatient clinic.

Results:

Thirty-two women participated in the study, among whom, in the last session of hypofractionated radiotherapy, 15 (46.9%) had radiodermatitis, erythema in 13 (40.6%), and wet peeling in 2 (6.3%). In the post-treatment evaluation, 27 (84.4%) had radiodermatitis, erythema in 17 (53.1%), dry peeling in 8 (25%), and wet peeling in 2 (6.3%).

Conclusion:

The general incidence of radiodermatitis after hypofractionated radiotherapy in women with breast cancer was 37.5%, erythema, 12.5%, and dry peeling, 25%. The development of care protocols for the management of radiodermatitis after treatment is of paramount importance.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

To identify the facilitating and complicating factors for the prevention and treatment of pressure injury (PI) in the management of hospitalized patient care.

Methods:

This is a cross-sectional study, conducted with 197 nursing professionals in three public hospitals.

Results:

Among the identified factors, it is noteworthy that 59% of respondents are unaware of the PI prevention protocol, 27% do not use clinical evaluation for daily sizing of professionals, more than 52% believe that no facilitating elements exist, and 76% argue that there are complicating elements for the prevention of PI. As for the treatment, a little over 60% reported that the patient and the injury are evaluated by nurses, with 54% of the procedures being prescribed by the physician and 46% of the therapy being performed by nursing technicians.

Conclusions:

We conclude that the prevention and treatment of PI require shared management, with integrated actions among the care executors.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To analyze the association between self-esteem and quality of life in the elderly.

Methods:

Cross-sectional web survey developed with 519 elderly people. Participants filled out three data collection instruments developed on the Google Forms platform and widely disseminated through all of Brazil. Fisher’s exact test, Mann-Whitney, Pearson correlation, and linear regression with 95% confidence interval were used.

Results:

Self-esteem was associated with all quality-of-life facets: sensory skills [β= 1.307; p<0.001]; autonomy [β= 2.101; p<0.001]; past, present, and future activities [β= 2.486; p<0.001]; social presence [β= 2.547; p<0.001]; death and dying [β= 2.175; p<0.001]; and intimacy [β=2.378; p<0.001].

Conclusion:

There is a positive and statistically significant association between self-esteem and quality of life in the elderly. We therefore suggest the development of local policies capable of raising this age groups’ self-esteem and reaffirming aging as a new possibility for discoveries and pleasure.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To identify in the literature the tools used to measure self-efficacy of health professionals in hand hygiene.

Methods:

Integrative literature review carried out by consulting the databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Europe PubMed Central, and Science Direct using the descriptors Self Efficacy, Hand Hygiene, and Health Personnel.

Results:

Six articles, all of which with observational design, were selected. It was possible to infer that four studies used validated instruments to measure self-efficacy of health professionals in the conformity with the recommendations for hand hygiene. The other studies used questionnaires that were not validated.

Final considerations:

Despite the extensive literature on hand hygiene, there is a lack of scientific evidence regarding the use of validated instruments to measure self-efficacy of health professionals in the procedure. The use of properly validated psychometric instruments is useful to guarantee the quality of results in studies.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to validate the content and appearance of the educational booklet “You can control your child’s asthma – let’s learn together?” with parents and caregivers of children with asthma.

Methods:

this is a methodological study, carried out with 34 mothers and caregivers of children, from two to 10 years old, diagnosed with asthma. The educational booklet validation was performed using Content Validity Index (CVI) and assessment of comprehension, attractiveness, self-efficacy, persuasion, and cultural acceptance domains.

Results:

the booklet was considered clear (99.8%) and relevant (100%), with a global CVI of 0.99. Domain assessment proved to be an easy-to-understand tool, culturally appropriate, attractive, with persuasive power and promoting self-efficacy.

Conclusion:

the booklet is valid and adequate for promoting the self-efficacy of parents and caregivers in childhood asthma control and management, potentially scalable to other realities of outpatient care.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to analyze the factors associated with urinary tract infection occurrence in institutionalized elderly.

Methods:

this is a cross-sectional, analytical, quantitative study with 116 elderly people from a Nursing Home. Urinary tract infection diagnosis was carried out through urine culture and clinical assessment. Demographic data and associated factors were obtained from medical records. Statistical analysis included bivariate analysis and logistic regression models.

Results:

the factors associated with urinary tract infection (p<0.05) were being female; wheelchair user; diaper use; diuretic use; urinary and bowel incontinence; type 1 diabetes; benign prostatic hyperplasia; dehydration.

Conclusion:

this study revealed that it is important to consider non-modifiable factors such as sex and clinical comorbidities; however, dehydration, a modifiable factor, increased the chances of developing urinary tract infections by 40 times among institutionalized elderly and demands greater attention from the health team.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to highlight the main attributes of Convergent Care Research that ratify it as a method of scientific research. Methods: it is a theoretical-reflective study on Convergent Care Research’s theoretical-methodological assumptions. Development: Convergent Care Research is compatible with the Social Constructionism paradigm. Convergent Care Research projects have two approaches: practical and conceptual. The Convergent Care Research process corpus contains five phases: conception; instrumentation; scrutiny; analysis and theorizing. Final Considerations: Convergent Care Research rigor encompasses the relationship between research and care practice, and this corresponds to the convergence of these two dimensions. Due to its theoretical foundation and criteria of methodological rigor, Convergent Care Research is aligned with scientific research methods.
