Trata-se de estudo descritivo, cujo objetivo foi analisar a aplicabilidade de intervenções da NIC no atendimento a crianças com o diagnóstico de enfermagem “desobstrução ineficaz de vias aéreas relacionada à presença de via aérea artificial" em um centro de terapia intensiva pediátrico (CTIP). Foi desenvolvido em três etapas. Na primeira, foram levantadas, junto às enfermeiras do CTIP, as atividades que prescrevem cotidianamente para crianças com esse diagnóstico de enfermagem. Foi realizado mapeamento comparativo dessas atividades, com 17 intervenções apresentadas na NIC para o diagnóstico de enfermagem “desobstrução ineficaz de vias aéreas". Na segunda etapa, esse mapeamento foi submetido à revisão por enfermeiras peritas. Na terceira etapa, 08 dessas intervenções foram selecionadas para análise, pelas enfermeiras, quanto à aplicabilidade, no CTIP, das atividades que não foram por elas mencionadas como prescritas cotidianamente na primeira etapa. Como resultados, obteve-se um total de 49 atividades listadas pelas enfermeiras como prescritas cotidianamente no CTIP para crianças com o diagnóstico de enfermagem “desobstrução ineficaz de vias aéreas relacionada à presença de via aérea artificial". Por meio do mapeamento comparativo verificou-se que, 74 das 403 atividades constantes das intervenções prioritárias e sugeridas da NIC possuíam correspondência com 39 atividades prescritas pelas enfermeiras. Na terceira etapa, as 08 intervenções selecionadas para análise pelas enfermeiras somaram 165 (100,0%) atividades. Destas, 45 (27,3%) haviam sido mapeadas como correspondentes às indicadas pelas enfermeiras na primeira etapa. Das 120 (100,0%) atividades restantes que foram analisadas quanto à sua realização ou não, 83 (69,2%) foram consideradas pela maioria das enfermeiras como realizadas, 36 (30,0%) como não realizadas e 1 (0,8%) foi considerada pela metade das enfermeiras como realizadas e pela outra metade como não realizada. Somando-se as atividades correspondentes na primeira etapa e as atividades consideradas realizadas na terceira etapa, se obteve um total de 128 (77,6%) atividades consideradas pela maioria das enfermeiras como realizadas Quanto ao percentual atribuído à realização das atividades por intervenção, obtivemos os seguintes resultados: “monitorização respiratória" (84,6%)", “aspiração de vias aéreas" (84,0%); “controle de vias aéreas" (80,0%); “inserção e estabilização de vias aéreas artificiais" (80,0%); “controle de vias aéreas artificiais" (80,0%); “fisioterapia respiratória" (76,9%); “assistência ventilatória" (75,0%) e “incremento da tosse" (36,4%). Concluímos que, houve um número menor de atividades consideradas não realizadas no CTIP em relação à intervenção incremento da tosse, porém, a maioria das atividades constantes na NIC e submetidas à análise pelas enfermeiras possui aplicabilidade no CTIP. / This descriptive study aimed at analyzing the applicability of NIC interventions in the care to children with the nursing diagnosis “ineffective airway clearance related to artificial airway" at a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). The study was developed in three phases. In the first one, the author found out, with nurses from PICU, the activities that are daily prescribed to children with this diagnosis. Based on this information, the activities were mapped and compared with the 17 interventions presented by NIC related to the nursing diagnosis “ineffective airway clearance". In the second phase, this mapping was submitted to a peers review. In the third phase, 8 interventions were selected for analysis by the nurses regarding their applicability at the PICU, among the activities that were not mentioned as daily prescribed in the first phase. Results showed a total of 49 activities mentioned by nurses as daily prescribed at the PICU for children with the nursing diagnosis “ineffective airway clearance related to artificial airway". Through comparative mapping, the author verified that 74 among the 403 activities related in the priority interventions and suggested by NIC had correspondence with 39 activities prescribed by nurses. In the third phase, the 08 interventions that were selected for analysis by nurses resulted in 165 (100.0%) activities. Among them, 45 (27.3%) were mapped with the correspondents indicated by nurses in the first phase. Among the 120 (100%) other activities that were analyzed regarding its performance or not, 83 (69.2%) were considered by the majority of nurses as performed, 36 (30.0%) as not performed and 1 (0.8%) was considered by half of the nurses as performed and by the other half as not performed. Summing up the activities of the first and third phases, the author obtained a total of 128 (77.6%) activities considered by the majority of nurses as performed. With respect to the percentage regarding the performance of these activities, it is important to mention the following results: Respiratory Monitoring (84.6%); Airway Suctioning (84.0%); Airway Management (80.0%); Airway Insertion and Stabilization (80.0%); Artificial Airway Management (80.0%); Chest Physiotherapy (76.9%); Ventilation Assistance (75.0%); Cough Enhancement (36,4%). The author concluded that there was few activities considered as not performed at PICU related to the intervention Cough Enhancement, however, the majority of NIC activities that were submitted to nurses’ analysis are applicable at PICU.

Le but de cette étude est d’adopter une intervention systémique visant à faciliter la communication entre les infirmières1 et les familles2 dans un contexte de soins intensifs (SI) en traumatologie. Cette recherche prend en compte la réalité et les besoins du milieu à l’étude grâce au devis participatif retenu. Le cadre de référence est composé de l’approche systémique familiale de Wright et Leahey (2005) ainsi que de la théorie du caring de Jean Watson (1979). La collecte des données a été inspirée du parcours de recherche en spirale de Lehoux, Levy et Rodrigue (1995). Cinq entrevues ont été menées auprès de membres de familles ainsi que trois groupes de discussion (focus groups) auprès d’infirmières. L’analyse des données a été effectuée selon le Modèle de Huberman et Miles (2003) qui préconise une démarche analytique continue et interactive. Les résultats obtenus révèlent un changement de pratique selon dix interventions systémiques infirmières spécifiques permettant de faciliter la communication avec les familles aux soins intensifs en traumatologie et soulignent l’importance d’agir sur le plan du contexte, de la relation et du contenu liés au processus de communication. De plus, ils permettent de démontrer un réel changement de pratique dans le milieu retenu pour l’étude. / Abstract The purpose on this study was to adopt systemic nursing interventions to enhance communication with families in a context of traumatology intensive cares. This participative study has the benefit of reflecting the real needs expressed by the persons concerned. The terms of reference for this study comprised the conceptual model as well as Wright and Leahey’s (2005) family systems nursing approach and the caring theory of Jean Watson (1979). The data collection was inspired by Lehoux, Levy and Rodrigue (1995) over five family interviews and three nurses’ meetings. The data collection was performed over a period of seven months. All of the interviews and meetings were recorded on audio tape and the verbatim’s were fully transcripted. The data analysis was done according to Huberman and Miles’ (2003) model, where analytical activities and data collection establish a continuous and interactive approach. The results obtained revealed ten specific systemic nursing interventions to enhance communication with families in this context and revealed the importance of the three levels of communication: cognitive, affective and behavioral. Moreover, the results are used to identify well-established interventions and recommend those who have to be improved.

Outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI) depends on the extent of primary cell death and on the development of secondary brain injury. The general aim of this thesis was to find strategies and quality systems to minimize the extent of secondary insults in neurointensive care (NIC). An established standardized management protocol system, multimodality monitoring and computerized data collection, and analysis systems were used. The Uppsala TBI register was established for regular monitoring of NIC quality indexes. For 2008-2010 the proportion of patients improving during NIC was 60-80%, whereas 10% deteriorated. The percentage of ‘talk and die’ cases was < 1%. The occurrences of secondary insults were less than 5% of good monitoring time (GMT) for intracranial pressure (ICP) > 25 mmHg, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) < 50 mmHg and systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg. Favorable outcome was achieved by 64% of adults. Nurse checklists of secondary insult occurrence were introduced. Evaluation of the use of nursing checklists showed that the nurses documented their assessments in 84-85% of the shifts and duration of monitoring time at insult level was significantly longer when secondary insults were reported regarding ICP, CPP and temperature. The use of nurse checklist was found to be feasible and accurate.  A clinical tool to avoid secondary insults related to nursing interventions was developed. Secondary brain insults occurred in about 10% of nursing interventions. There were substantial variations between patients. The risk ratios of developing an ICP insult were 4.7 when baseline ICP ≥ 15 mmHg, 2.9 when ICP amplitude ≥ 6 mmHg and 1.7 when pressure autoregulation ≥ 0.3. Hyperthermia, which is a known frequent secondary insult, was studied. Hyperthermia was most common on Day 7 after admission and 90% of the TBI patients had hyperthermia during the first 10 days at the NIC unit. The effects of hyperthermia on intracranial dynamics (ICP, brain energy metabolism and BtipO2) were small but individual differences were observed. Hyperthermia increased ICP slightly more when temperature increased in the groups with low compliance and impaired pressure autoregulation. Ischemic pattern was never observed in the microdialysis samples. The treatment of hyperthermia may be individualized and guided by multimodality monitoring.

Bakgrund: Fram till 1950-talet sågs smärta som ett fysiskt problem men då började smärtan även ses som flerdimensionell. Hos patienter i palliativ vård är flerdimensionell smärta vanligt förekommande. Palliativ vård skall ske utifrån fyra hörnstenar som bygger på symtomlindring, teamarbete, kontinuitet och kommunikation samt stöd till närstående. Syfte: Syftet är att sammanställa forskning kring vilka omvårdnadsåtgärder som kan lindra smärta i palliativ vård. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en litteraturöversikt och baserades på 13 vetenskapliga artiklar med kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod. Resultat: I resultatet framgår ett flertal komplementära omvårdnadsåtgärder som kan lindra smärta hos patienter inom palliativ vård. Kunskap om smärtans dimensioner och smärtbedömning är en förutsättning för att uppnå optimal smärtlindring. Ett bra teamarbete, psykosocialt stöd samt god kommunikation mellan patienten och vårdteamet är av betydelse i palliativ vård. Konklusion: Patienten bör ha en grundläggande farmakologisk smärtlindring och icke farmakologiska omvårdnadsåtgärder bör finnas som komplement i smärtbehandlingen. Det behövs mer forskning och kunskap om dessa omvårdnadsåtgärder och hur dessa kan implementeras i palliativ vård. Mer kunskap om smärtans dimensioner och kunskap om smärtskalor så att korrekt smärtbedömning kan göras. / Background: Pain was seen as only a physical problem but in the 1950’s pain began to be seen as a multidimensional problem. For patients in palliative care multidimensional pain is common. The key elements of palliative care should be a focus on: symptom relief, teamwork, continuity and communication as well as support for relatives. Aim: The aim is to compile research about which nursing measures can relieve pain in palliative care. Method: The study was conducted as a literature review and was based on 13 articles where quantitative and qualitative methods where reported. Result: The result is a number of complementary nursing measures that can alleviate pain in patients in palliative care. Knowledge of the pain's dimensions and pain assessment is a prerequisite for achieving optimal pain relief. Teamwork, psychosocial support and good communication between the patient and the careteam are important in palliative care. Conclusion: Patients should receive basic pharmacological pain relief together with complementary non-pharmacological pain management care measures. More research and knowledge about these nursing interventions and how these can be implemented in palliative care are needed. Greater knowledge about both the dimensions of pain and about pain scales is needed so that optimal pain assessment can be achieved.

The nursing process improves the clinical practice of care in hemodialysis, however, is still in its infancy and the scope of the phenomenas described in the taxonomies of diagnoses, interventions and nursing results, as the focus on hemodialysis scenario has not yet been described. OBJECTIVES: To validate nursing diagnoses as priorities by expert nurses; Validate interventions for diagnosis identified as priority by expert nurses; Validate relevant nursing results for diagnoses identified as priority by expert nurses. METHODOLOGY: A descriptive, cross-sectional study, validation of nursing diagnoses, interventions and priority outcomes for patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis people, from the NANDA-I Terminology / NIC / NOC. Participated 12 hemodialysis units that served 1788 patients and 55 nurses working. From the occupational profile of these nurses was identified 21 experts. Of these, nine validated diagnoses, interventions and nursing outcomes, through a focus group, for people with chronic kidney disease. RESULTS: There were 36 validated diagnostic, 124 interventions and 119 nursing results. Of validated nursing diagnoses, 13 are recognized more often in literature and 23, little mentioned or not mentioned. CONCLUSION: The diagnoses, interventions and nursing outcomes validated by experts in hemodialysis give visibility to a qualified clinical practice proposal for systematization of nursing care in accordance with the reality of unity. / INTRODUÇÃO: Entre os problemas de saúde vivenciados por pessoas adultas e idosas que tem forte impacto sobre a qualidade de vida, destaca-se a doença renal crônica (DRC). O Processo de Enfermagem aprimora a prática clínica do cuidar em hemodiálise, entretanto, ainda é incipiente e a abrangência dos fenômenos descritos nas taxonomias dos diagnósticos, intervenções e resultados de enfermagem, como foco no cenário de hemodiálise ainda não foi descrito. OBJETIVOS: Validar diagnósticos de enfermagem como prioritários por enfermeiros peritos; Validar intervenções para os diagnósticos apontados como prioritários por enfermeiros peritos; Validar resultados de enfermagem relevantes para os diagnósticos apontados como prioritários por enfermeiros peritos. METODOLOGIA: Estudo descritivo, transversal, de validação de diagnósticos de enfermagem, intervenções e resultados prioritários para pessoas portadores de doença renal crônica em hemodiálise a partir da terminologia NANDA-I/NIC/NOC. Participaram 12 unidades de hemodiálise que atendiam 1788 pacientes e 55 enfermeiros atuantes. A partir do perfil profissiográfico desses enfermeiros identificou-se 21 experts. Destes, nove validaram os diagnósticos, as intervenções e os resultados de enfermagem, por meio do grupo focal, a pessoas portadoras de doença renal crônica. RESULTADOS: Foram validados 36 diagnósticos, 124 intervenções e 119 resultados de enfermagem. Dos diagnósticos de enfermagem validados, 13 são reconhecidos com maior frequência na literatura e 23, pouco mencionados ou não mencionados. CONCLUSÃO: Os diagnósticos, as intervenções e os resultados de enfermagem validados pelos peritos/experts em hemodiálise dão visibilidade a uma prática clínica qualificada com proposta para sistematização da assistência de enfermagem de acordo com a realidade de unidade.

Bakgrund: Gungstolsterapi som omvårdnadsåtgärd är outforskat inom den psykiatriska heldygnsvården. Vetenskapliga studier av den typ av gungstol som här studerats har inte gått att hitta. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att utvärdera gungstolsterapi som omvårdnadsåtgärd vid en psykiatrisk heldygnsvårdsavdelning. Metod: En naturalistisk studie med både kvantitativa och kvalitativa inslag genomfördes. Under studieperioden fick patienter som vårdades på en psykiatrisk heldygnsvårdsavdelning lämna självskattningar på en VAS-skala avseende sitt mående före och efter genomförd gungstolsterapi. Patienterna kunde också lämna en skriftlig kommentar om gungningen. Resultat: Resultatet visar att deltagarna skattat en genomsnittlig förbättring motsvarande 16%-enheter i sitt generella mående efter genomförd gungning. Genomsnittliga gungtid var 33 min/gungtillfälle. Majoriteten av patienterna som deltog i studien har bipolär sjukdom. Många deltagare föredrog att gunga en viss del av dygnet. Innehållsanalysen av kommentarerna ledde till att fem kategorier bildades som sammanfattades i temat "En stol som berör". Den genomförda studien visar att patienterna generellt sett upplevde ett ökat välbefinnande efter gungstolsterapin. Studien visar också att inga allvarliga händelser inträffat vid användningen av gungstolen. Resultatet i de båda delarna av studien harmonierar väl med varandra. Slutsats: Studien ger underlag att rekommendera patienter gungstolsterapi för att förbättra sitt mående eller i symtomlindrande syfte. Genomgången visar att många patienter har individuella preferenser för sitt gungande. Gungstolsterapi bör ses som en hälsofrämjande egenvårdsåtgärd som patienten kan utföra dygnet runt och som kan läggas in i patientens vårdplan. / Background: Rocking chair therapy has been poorly researched. There are no scientific research studies where the current rocking chair was evaluated. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate rocking chair therapy as a nursing intervention in an inpatient psychiatric setting. Method: A mixed method design, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, was used. The participants were asked to rate their well-being in a form by using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after rocking chair therapy. Participants also had the possibility to leave free text comments in the form. Results: The participants rated a 16% increase in their well-being after using the rocking chair. The average rocking time was 33 minutes. The majority of the participants are diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Many participants preferred to use the rocking chair during a specific time frame every day. The content analysis resulted in five categories and the underlying meaning could be expressed by the theme "Moving emotions". No adverse effects were recorded during the study. Both the quantitative and qualitative analysis show positive results and there are no contradictions in the results. Conclusion: This study support the mental health nurse to recommend psychiatric patients to try rocking chair therapy as a way to increase well-being or reduce distress, it is also a method well suited for self-management. Each patient has his/her own preferences for using rocking chair therapy. The use of rocking chair therapy can easily be included in the patient’s personal care plan.

Abstract A model of intensive care nursing of patients and their significant others compatible with a data system was developed and evaluated by using an action research approach in 1997-2001. The study was carried out in Oulu University Hospital's ICUs for emergency and postoperative care and internal medicine. At stage I of the study, the model of intensive care nursing was developed and pilot-tested by collecting questionnaire data from the nurses who participated in the action research group (N = 14), from the texts produced by small groups made out of the action research group and the whole group (N = 33), by audio-recording oral report sessions (N = 57) and by using the researcher's written notes. The data for pilot testing were collected on a form from nursing documents (N = 17) and on a questionnaire from nurses (N = 11). The research data were analysed with methods of inductive and deductive content analysis. At stage II, the model was made compatible with the ICU data system. At stage III, the validity of the model was evaluated by analysing patient data drawn from the emergency and postoperative ICU's data system (N = 1464) and patient records filed by the researcher (N = 30). The patients' needs for nursing and the quantitative needs for staff were compared between the model of intensive care nursing and the Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (TISS) based on the patient data drawn from the data systems of the emergency (N = 253) and postoperative (N = 579) ICU. The data were analysed using statistical methods and methods of content analysis. The model of intensive care nursing includes nursing diagnoses of the changes in the patient's vital functions, the restrictions and experiences caused by the disease and its treatment and the significant others' distress, the nursing to meet the severity of the health problems, the nursing interventions and the outcomes of nursing as well as the nursing workload. Based on the validity assessment, the model differentiated between the nursing interventions needed by the patients in different admission types and with different severity scores (p < 0.001). The model also provided a good prediction of the patients' risk of death (ROC 0.86-0.91). Contrary to TISS, the model gave higher nursing workload scores and a greater need for staff for the patients who were more ill on admission, and whose hospital stay was longer and mortality higher. The model can be used as a starting-point in developing evidence-based middle-range theory, which will provide a basis for demonstrating the efficacy of nursing in patients' overall care. / Tiivistelmä Tutkimuksessa kehitetään ja arvioidaan tietojärjestelmään soveltuva potilaan ja hänen läheistensä hoitotyötä kuvaava tehohoitotyön malli toimintatutkimuksen lähestymistapaa noudattaen vuosina 1997-2001. Tutkimusyhteisöinä toimivat Oulun yliopistollisen sairaalan päivystysalueen, postoperatiivinen ja sisätautien teho-osastot. Tutkimuksen I-vaiheessa kehitettiin ja esitestattiin tehohoitotyön malli keräämällä tutkimusaineisto kyselylomakkeen avulla toimintatutkimusryhmään osallistuneilta hoitajilta (N = 14), toimintatutkimusryhmästä muodostettujen pienryhmien ja toimintatutkimusryhmän tuottamista kirjallisista aineistoista (N = 33), äänittämällä raporttitilanteita (N = 57) ja tutkijan kirjallisista muistiinpanoista. Esitestausaineisto kerättiin lomakkeella hoitotyön dokumenteista (N = 17) ja kyselylomakkeella hoitajilta (N = 11). Tutkimusaineistot analysoitiin induktiivisella ja deduktiivisella sisällönanalyysillä. II-vaiheessa yhteensovitettiin malli tehotietojärjestelmään. III-vaiheessa arvioitiin mallin luotettavuutta päivystysalueen ja postoperatiivisen osaston tietojärjestelmästä kerätyn potilasaineiston (N = 1464) ja tutkijan arkistoitujen potilasasiakirjojen (N = 30) analyysien avulla. Potilaiden hoitoisuutta ja hoitohenkilökunnan määrällistä tarvetta verrattiin tehohoitotyön mallin ja Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System-luokituksen (TISS) kesken tietojärjestelmästä kerätyn päivystysalueen (N = 253) ja postoperatiivisen (N = 579) teho-osaston potilasaineiston perusteella. Tutkimusaineisto analysoitiin tilastollisin menetelmin ja sisällönanalyysin avulla. Tehohoitotyön malli kuvaa potilaan elintoimintojen muutoksiin, sairauden ja sen hoidon tuomiin rajoituksiin ja kokemuksiin sekä läheisten hätään liittyviä hoitotyön diagnooseja, terveysongelmien vaikeusasteita vastaavaa hoitotyötä, hoitotyön toimintoja ja hoitotyön tuloksia sekä hoitoisuutta. Luotettavuustutkimuksen mukaan malli erotteli tulotyypiltään ja sairauden vaikeusasteiltaan erilaisten potilaiden hoitotyötä (p < 0.001). Mallin avulla voitiin kuvata hyvin potilaiden kuoleman riskiä (ROC 0.86-0.91). Malli antoi suuremmat hoitoisuuspisteet ja henkilökunnan määrällisen tarpeen päinvastoin kuin TISS potilaille, jotka olivat tulovaiheessa sairaampia ja joiden hoitoaika oli pitkä ja kuolleisuus suuri. Mallia voidaan käyttää lähtökohtana näyttöön perustuvan keskitason teorian kehittämiseen, jolla voidaan antaa perusteet osoittaa tehohoitotyön vaikuttavuutta potilaan kokonaishoidossa.
