An investigation into patients' and diabetes specialist nurses' experience of diabetes consultations in primary care

Priharjo, Robert January 2014 (has links)
The role of diabetes specialist nurses in delivering diabetes consultations has been recognised for more than a decade, particularly since the publication of the Standards for Specialist Education and Practice by the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting (UKCC) in 2001. However, evidence on how the consultation is delivered, together with patients’ experiences, is somewhat limited. This study examined diabetes specialist nurses’ and patients’ consultation experiences in primary care. It also investigated the process and outcome of these diabetes consultations. This research utilised a sequential mixed methods single approach design in which qualitative was followed by quantitative investigation. In the qualitative stage, 7 diabetes specialist nurses and 7 patients were interviewed separately, followed by observations of 7 nurse-patient consultations. The data from the interviews were analysed thematically, whereas the data from nurse patient consultations were examined though conversation analysis (CA). The investigation continued quantitatively, where the questionnaires were developed based on the qualitative findings and adaptation of the Consultation Quality Index (CQI-2). Following on from a pilot study, the questionnaires were sent to adult patients with diabetes (n=150) and 40 completed questionnaires were returned for statistical analysis. The qualitative and quantitative findings were then merged in a matrix diagram to reveal holistic findings on consultation experiences. The thematic analysis of patients’ interviews produced five themes which were: ‘I don’t like living with diabetes’, ‘Daily problems’, ‘Coping with my diabetes’, ‘How the nurses approach me’ and ‘My expectations toward the diabetes specialist nurses’ . In contrast, the themes from the nurses focused not only on the diabetes consultation but also care management issues: ‘Current problems’, ‘My expectations towards the patients’, ‘Consultation approaches’, ‘Personal development’ and ‘Team working’. Details on the sequence and scope of consultations were obtained from conversation analysis which highlighted the approaches commonly used by the diabetes specialist nurses. The statistical analysis showed associations between partnership and empathy (P=0.01), empathy and outcome (P= 0.005), information giving and consultation time (P= 0.05). The integration of qualitative and quantitative findings suggested ‘Consultation stages’ as a theme, and also four themes related to consultation experiences: ‘Day to day hurdle’, ‘Knowing each other’, ‘Shared expectations’and ‘Working together’. This study has identified the value and processes of the nurse-patient consultation in diabetes care from a nursing context. In general, the patients experienced their consultations with the DSNs positively. They highlighted key personal characteristics of the nurses. Similarly, the nurses considered their role in delivering consultation as crucial. Some challenges were evident including patients’ behaviours, the diabetes knowledge of other health care professionals and the lack of administrative support. The association between the nurses’ empathetical approaches and the patients’ outcomes needs further investigation.

Protocolo de consultas de enfermagem ao paciente apÃs revascularizaÃÃo do miocÃrdio: avaliaÃÃo da eficÃcia / Protocol for nursing consultations to the patient after the same to be submitted to a surgery of myocardial revascularization: evaluation of the effectiveness

Francisca ElisÃngela Teixeira Lima 30 March 2007 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / O acompanhamento ao paciente submetido à cirurgia de revascularizaÃÃo do miocÃrdio (RM) deve ter uma abordagem holÃstica, realizado por uma equipe multiprofissional. Este estudo teve como objetivo geral avaliar um Protocolo de Consultas de Enfermagem (PCE) ao paciente apÃs RM, comparando com um grupo controle. E, como especÃficos: levantar caracterÃsticas dos pacientes em relaÃÃo a sexo, idade, escolaridade, renda familiar, estado civil, histÃria familiar de doenÃa arterial coronariana (DAC) e religiÃo; verificar prevalÃncia dos fatores de risco para DAC: hipertensÃo arterial, diabetes mellitus, dislipidemia, obesidade, sedentarismo e tabagismo; identificar mudanÃas comportamentais dos pacientes, enfatizando hÃbitos alimentares, exercÃcio fÃsico, abstinÃncia de tabagismo e etilismo, e uso contÃnuo de medicamentos; averiguar impacto do PCE na reduÃÃo dos fatores de risco para DAC, considerando o controle: pressÃo arterial, glicemia, colesterol, Ãndice de massa corporal, circunferÃncia da cintura e relaÃÃo cintura/quadril; e verificar aspectos relacionados à ansiedade e depressÃo. Ensaio clÃnico randomizado, desenvolvido no ambulatÃrio de um hospital pÃblico, Fortaleza-CE. Compuseram a populaÃÃo 146 pacientes revascularizados no perÃodo de coleta de dados, constituindo a amostra 78 pacientes, 39 do grupo controle (GC) e 39 do grupo de intervenÃÃo (GI). A participaÃÃo nos grupos foi definida pelo dia de cirurgia. Pacientes do GC fizeram o seguimento ambulatorial convencional, com avaliaÃÃo pela pesquisadora no momento da alta e seis meses apÃs a cirurgia; e pacientes do GI foram submetidos ao PCE com atendimentos na alta hospitalar e apÃs um, dois, quatro e seis meses. Estudo aprovado pelo Comità de Ãtica e Pesquisa. Encontrou-se similaridade nos grupos para os indicadores: sexo masculino (62,8%); idade (mÃdia: 65 anos); baixa escolaridade; renda familiar atà um salÃrio mÃnimo (55,1%); antecedentes familiares com DAC (65,4%); catÃlicos (82,1%). O estado civil apresentou diferenÃa significativa. Contudo, os fatores de risco para DAC nÃo apresentaram diferenÃas significativas (p>0,05): hipertensÃo arterial (83,3%), nÃo-diabÃticos (53,8%), sem dislipidemia (53,8%), obesidade (67,9%), sedentarismo (57,7%) e nÃo-tabagistas (65,4%). Na avaliaÃÃo da eficÃcia do PCE, os testes evidenciaram que 92,3%-GI e 76,9%-GC melhoraram a qualidade da alimentaÃÃo. O GI teve uma maior adesÃo à pratica de exercÃcio fÃsico do que o GC (p<0,10). Todos os pacientes do GI abstiveram-se do cigarro e do etilismo, e 33,3% dos fumantes e 50,0% dos usuÃrios de bebidas alcoÃlicas do GC mantiveram esses hÃbitos, constatando diferenÃa significativa (p<0,05). Um percentual maior (94,9%) do GI usava os medicamentos adequadamente (p>0,05). Houve um impacto na reduÃÃo dos fatores de risco para DAC, apÃs seis meses da cirurgia, quanto aos indicadores (p<0,05): pressÃo arterial, taxa de glicemia, Ãndice de massa corporal, circunferÃncia da cintura e relaÃÃo cintura/quadril. Conforme constatado, o GI teve um percentual menor de pessoas com ansiedade e/ou depressÃo em relaÃÃo ao GC. Conclui-se que o seguimento pelo PCE foi eficaz para as mudanÃas comportamentais no estilo de vida dos pacientes revascularizados. Como observado, um maior nÃmero de pessoas do GI melhorou a qualidade da dieta, aderiu à prÃtica de exercÃcio fÃsico e parou de fumar e de ingerir bebidas alcoÃlicas. Tais mudanÃas comportamentais foram positivas para reduzir fatores de risco e, conseqÃentemente, minimizar complicaÃÃes cardiovasculares.
