AssistÃncia de enfermagem ao paciente portador de tuberculose em unidade bÃsica de saÃde: elaboraÃÃo de instrumento / NURSING CARE TO PATIENTS OF TUBERCULOSIS IN BASIC HEALTH UNIT: DEVELOPMENT OF INSTRUMENT

Rafaelle Lopes de Oliveira 28 April 2014 (has links)
A tuberculose continua a merecer especial atenÃÃo dos profissionais de saÃde e da sociedade como um todo. O papel da enfermagem adquire especial importÃncia na execuÃÃo das aÃÃes de controle da doenÃa. Sabe-se que o cliente em tratamento, sofre estigma e està sujeito a vÃrias alteraÃÃes fÃsicas e psicolÃgicas. Portanto, a possibilidade de um acompanhamento mais organizado e direcionado poderia minimizar tais consequÃncias, assegurando maior adesÃo. Neste contexto, considerou-se a necessidade de colaborar para a implantaÃÃo da SistematizaÃÃo da AssistÃncia de Enfermagem. O estudo teve como objetivos: Identificar os diagnÃsticos de enfermagem em portadores de tuberculose; Criar um instrumento para a sistematizaÃÃo da assistÃncia de enfermagem. Tratou-se de um estudo descritivo e exploratÃrio. Foi realizado em uma Unidade de AtenÃÃo PrimÃria à SaÃde, vinculada a Prefeitura de Fortaleza-CearÃ. A PopulaÃÃo constou de 13 pacientes em tratamento. A coleta dos dados foi realizada em fevereiro de 2014. As informaÃÃes coletadas para a fase de identificaÃÃo dos diagnÃsticos de Enfermagem tiveram como ponto de partida um instrumento elaborado pelo MinistÃrio da SaÃde. Como base para a construÃÃo dos diagnÃsticos, resultados e intervenÃÃes foi utilizada a Taxonomia II da NANDA e as ligaÃÃes entre NANDA, NOC E NIC. Foram identificados 11 diagnÃsticos de enfermagem, sendo os mais frequentes: PadrÃo respiratÃrio ineficaz; nÃusea; intolerÃncia à atividade; nutriÃÃo desequilibrada: menos do que as necessidades corporais; conhecimento deficiente sobre as medidas preventivas, controle, tratamento e autocuidado; hipertermia; fadiga; integridade da pele prejudicada; falta de adesÃo; isolamento social. A partir destes, foram estabelecidos os resultados esperados e intervenÃÃes de enfermagem para compor o plano de cuidados. Conclui-se que à possÃvel elaborar um instrumento para a sistematizaÃÃo da assistÃncia de enfermagem a pacientes portadores de tuberculose, com o intuito de melhorar a qualidade e garantir a continuidade do cuidado de enfermagem. / Tuberculosis continues to receive special attention from health professionals and society as a whole. The role of nurses is particularly important in the implementation of actions to control the disease. It is known that the customer treatment suffers stigma and is subject to various physical and psychological changes. Therefore, the possibility of a more organized and targeted monitoring could minimize such consequences, ensuring greater compliance. In this context it is the need to collaborate to implement the Care System Nursing. The study aimed to: identify the nursing diagnoses in patients with tuberculosis; create an instrument for systematization of nursing care. This was a descriptive, exploratory study. Was performed on a Unit Primary Health Care, linked to Government of Fortaleza - CearÃ. The population consisted of 13 patients undergoing treatment. Data collection was conducted in February 2014. Information collected for phase identification of nursing diagnoses had as its starting point an instrument prepared by the Ministry of Health as a basis for the construction of diagnoses, outcomes and interventions was used to NANDA Taxonomy II and the links between NANDA, NIC and NOC. 11 nursing diagnoses were identified, the most common being: Ineffective breathing pattern; nausea; activity intolerance; imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements; poor knowledge about preventive measures, control, treatment and self-care; hyperthermia; fatigue; Impaired skin integrity; noncompliance; social isolation. From these, the expected outcomes and nursing interventions were established to make the care plan. We conclude that it is possible to develop an instrument for systematization of nursing care to patients with tuberculosis, in order to improve quality and ensure continuity of nursing care.

Interventions analysis of NIC indicated for the diagnosis of nursing âfluid volume excessâ in intensive therapy unit / AnÃlise das intervenÃÃes da NIC indicadas para o diagnÃstico de enfermagem âvolume de lÃquido excessivoâ em unidade de terapia intensiva

Isaura LetÃcia Tavares Palmeira Rolim 18 December 2008 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / It is a descriptive study with the objective to analyze the applicability of the interventions proposed by the Classification of nursing interventions (NIC) nursing for the diagnosis of "Fluid volume excess" in an Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU). It was developed in three stages. At first, they were raised, along with nursing care, activities that they indicated for patients with that diagnosis. In the second step, expert nurses conducted a correspondence among the activities listed by nurse clinicians with the activities outlined in the NIC to the referred diagnosis. The third step, on its turn, consisted of two points: a) five interventions for analysis were selected and it was raised up the views of nurses about the applicability of the activities contained in NIC they have no mentioned, as well as, on the applicability of the activities they indicated in caring for adults with a diagnosis of nursing "Fluid volume excess" and not present in the NIC; b) a proposal for intervention developed from the analysis of data from the previous step was subjected to expert nurses who participated in the second stage. As a result, it was obtained a total of 73 activities indicated by nurses for the care to patients with "Fluid volume excess". In the second step, it was found that 71 of the 479 activities in the interventions of the NIC (14.82%), showed correspondence with 49 activities prescribed by nurses. The only intervention completely correspondent by the experts was âVital signs monitoringâ. As for the percentage of activities that present correspondence, the following results were gotten: âelectrolyte managementâ (12%), âfluid monitoringâ (27.27%), âhipervolemia managementâ (37.5%), âfluid managementâ (35.71%) and âelectrolytes monitoringâ (46.87%). For most of the correspondent activities to the NIC it was shown that the actions of nurses represented specific activities developed in the ITU. The five interventions selected for analysis in the third stage totaled 139 activities. Of these, 47 (33.81%) had been considered correspondent to the indicated by nurses in the first stage. Of the remaining 92 activities that were analyzed as to its completion the following results were obtained: âelectrolyte managementâ (54.54%), âfluid monitoringâ (40%), âhipervolemia managementâ (20%), âfluid managementâ (61.11%) and the âelectrolytes monitoringâ (46.87%). Regarding to the ITU implementation, the 24 activities prescribed in the first stage, and for which it was not found the corresponding in the NIC, 11 activities have reached a percentage above 80%. However, it was not noticed an apparent standard attitude among the nurses in doing these. The intervention âClinical evaluation of changes of electrolytes to risk of injuryâ, suggested by this study, included nine activities, of which six had correlation above the pre-established cut off point. It was concluded that many activities in the NIC were held in the unit of study, but there was no standard as to its implementation in the nurses practice. That a great number of interventions and activities for patients with âFluid volume excessâ offer much possibilities for new investigations and reinforces the importance of using the NIC taxonomy as key resource and as relevant to the implementation of a higher quality of care / Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com o objetivo de analisar a aplicabilidade das intervenÃÃes propostas pela ClassificaÃÃo da intervenÃÃes de enfermagem (NIC) para o diagnÃstico de enfermagem âVolume de lÃquido excessivoâ em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). Foi desenvolvido em trÃs etapas. Na primeira, foram levantadas, junto aos enfermeiros assistenciais, as atividades que os mesmos indicavam para pacientes com o referido diagnÃstico. Na segunda etapa, enfermeiras peritas realizaram uma correspondÃncia entre as atividades indicadas pelos enfermeiros assistenciais com as atividades apresentadas na NIC para o diagnÃstico em questÃo. A terceira etapa, por sua vez, constituiu-se de dois momentos: a) foram selecionadas as cinco intervenÃÃes para anÃlise e levantou-se a opiniÃo dos enfermeiros acerca da aplicabilidade das atividades contidas na NIC por eles nÃo mencionadas, bem como sobre a aplicabilidade das atividades por eles indicadas no atendimento aos adultos com o diagnÃstico de enfermagem âVolume de lÃquido excessivoâ, e nÃo presentes na NIC; b) uma proposta de intervenÃÃo desenvolvida a partir da anÃlise dos dados da etapa anterior foi submetida Ãs enfermeiras peritas que participaram da segunda etapa. Como resultado, obteve-se um total de 73 atividades indicadas pelos enfermeiros para o atendimento ao paciente com âVolume de lÃquido excessivoâ. Na segunda etapa, verificou-se que 71 das 479 atividades constantes das intervenÃÃes da NIC (14,82%), apresentaram correspondÃncia com 49 atividades prescritas pelos enfermeiros. A Ãnica intervenÃÃo completamente correspondente pelas peritas foi âmonitorizaÃÃo dos sinais vitaisâ. Quanto ao percentual de atividades que apresentaram correspondÃncia, obteve-se os seguintes resultados: âcontrole de eletrÃlitosâ (12%), âmonitorizaÃÃo de lÃquidosâ (27,27%), âcontrole da hipervolemiaâ (37,5%), âcontrole de lÃquidosâ (35,71%) e âmonitorizaÃÃo de eletrÃlitos (46,87%). Para a maioria das atividades correspondentes com as da NIC, percebeu-se que as aÃÃes dos enfermeiros representavam atividades especÃficas desenvolvidas na UTI. As cinco intervenÃÃes selecionadas para anÃlise na terceira etapa somaram 139 atividades. Destas, 47 (33,81%) haviam sido consideradas correspondentes Ãs indicadas pelos enfermeiros na primeira etapa. Das 92 atividades restantes que foram analisadas quanto à sua realizaÃÃo, e obteve-se os seguintes resultados: âcontrole de eletrÃlitosâ (54,54%), âmonitorizaÃÃo de lÃquidosâ (40%), âcontrole da hipervolemiaâ (20%), âcontrole de lÃquidosâ (61,11%) e âmonitorizaÃÃo de eletrÃlitos (46,87%). Com relaÃÃo à realizaÃÃo, na UTI, das 24 atividades prescritas na primeira etapa, e para as quais nÃo foram encontrados correspondentes na NIC, 11 atividades atingiram um percentual acima de 80%. No entanto, nÃo se percebeu uma atitude uniforme entre os enfermeiros na realizaÃÃo destas. A intervenÃÃo âAvaliaÃÃo clÃnica de alteraÃÃo de eletrÃlitos para risco de injÃriaâ, sugerida pelo presente estudo, incluiu nove atividades, das quais seis apresentaram concordÃncia acima do ponto de corte prÃ-estabelecido. Concluiu-se que muitas atividades na NIC eram realizadas na unidade do estudo, porÃm nÃo havia uniformidade quanto à sua realizaÃÃo na prÃtica dos enfermeiros. Que o grande nÃmero de intervenÃÃes e atividades para pacientes com âVolume de lÃquido excessivoâ oferecem uma magnitude de possibilidades para novas investigaÃÃes e reforÃa-se a importÃncia do uso da taxonomia da NIC como recurso fundamental e pertinente para a implementaÃÃo de uma assistÃncia de maior qualidade

ConstruÃÃo e investigaÃÃo da validade de definiÃÃes conceituais e operacionais do resultado de enfermagem integridade tissular: um estudo com portadores de Ãlcera venosa / Construction and investigation of the validity of conceptual and operational definitions of the results from tissue integrity nursing: study with people afflicted with venous ulcers

Francisca Aline Arrais Sampaio Santos 08 April 2011 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / O presente estudo teve como meta desenvolver definiÃÃes conceituais e operacionais para o Resultado de Enfermagem Integridade Tissular direcionado a pacientes com Ãlcera venosa. O capÃtulo 1 descreve as etapas da revisÃo integrativa implementada para o desenvolvimento inicial das definiÃÃes conceituais e operacionais para os elementos do Resultado em questÃo aplicado à avaliaÃÃo de Ãlceras venosas. Nesta revisÃo,a busca foi realizada em bases de dados e no acervo do periÃdico International Journal of Nursing Terminologies and Classifications. Oito artigos compuseram a amostra. As informaÃÃes que se referiam aos conceitos do resultado Integridade Tissular e seus indicadores foram reunidas, comparada e agrupadas. Foram propostas definiÃÃes conceituais e operacionais para o Resultado Integridade Tissular, assim como inserido indicadores fictÃcios. O desenvolvimento das definiÃÃes do Resultado Integridade Tissular pÃde possibilitar melhor compreensÃo do seu uso segundo o contexto de Ãlceras venosas. No segundo capÃtulo, apresenta-se a construÃÃo das definiÃÃes conceituais e operacionais para apreciaÃÃo de 29 especialistas, realizando assim a validaÃÃo de conteÃdo. Para seleÃÃo dos especialistas utilizou-se os parÃmetros propostos por Fehring. A captaÃÃo dos participantes foi realizada por busca ativa na plataforma Lattes (CNPq). Foram remetidos dois instrumentos: um relativo ao perfil do especialista, e outro de anÃlise conceitual e operacional dos indicadores. A partir do valor atribuÃdo pelos especialistas, foi calculado o Ãndice de validade de conteÃdo (IVC) com ponto de corte de 0,8 e aplicado o teste binomial para anÃlise da proporÃÃo de adequaÃÃo das definiÃÃes por parte dos especialistas. O projeto foi aprovado pelo comità de Ãtica e pesquisa sob protocolo n097/10. Dos especialistas, 92,9% utilizam ou jà utilizaram o processo de enfermagem em sua prÃtica. A versÃo final do instrumento apresentou 18 indicadores, sendo trÃs fictÃcios. Foram excluÃdos trÃs indicadores propostos pela Nursing Outcomes Classifications (NOC), assim como o item Fadiga (fictÃcio). As colocaÃÃes e sugestÃes realizadas pelos especialistas foram analisadas e acatadas a maioria. Por fim, no capÃtulo 3, apresenta-se o processo de validaÃÃo clÃnica das definiÃÃes propostas com pacientes portadores de Ãlceras venosas. O estudo de validaÃÃo foi executado com 22 pacientes. Os instrumentos utilizados compreenderam dados clÃnicos e de identificaÃÃo, alÃm de indicadores com definiÃÃes operacionais. Dez enfermeiros aplicaram os instrumentos, metade com as definiÃÃes operacionais desenvolvidas e a outra metade nÃo. O teste de Friedman foi aplicado para verificar a diferenÃa de mediana entre os grupos de avaliadores. As anÃlises pos-hoc foram procedidas pelo mÃtodo da diferenÃa mÃnima significante (DMS). AlÃm disso, foi calculado o coeficiente de correlaÃÃo intraclasse para anÃlise da congruÃncia entre as avaliaÃÃes. Com exceÃÃo do indicador Textura, o teste de Friedman e mÃtodo DMS mostraram que os indicadores apresentaram diferenÃas estatÃsticas significantes entre os dois grupos de avaliadores (com e sem definiÃÃes operacionais). Entretanto, o mÃtodo da DMS mostrou nÃo haver diferenÃas estatisticamente significantes nas avaliaÃÃes realizadas pelos examinadores que utilizaram definiÃÃes operacionais denotando boa congruÃncia entre as mesmas. Observou-se que os valores de correlaÃÃo intraclasse do grupo sem definiÃÃes foram inferiores ao do grupo que utilizou tais definiÃÃes. As definiÃÃes operacionais construÃdas, com exceÃÃo do indicador Textura, possibilitaram maior uniformidade e similaridade entre avaliaÃÃes de pacientes com Ãlceras venosas. Diante disso, pode-se confirmar a tese de que o uso de definiÃÃes na avaliaÃÃo de pacientes com Ãlceras venosas possibilitou uma avaliaÃÃo mais acurada que a nÃo utilizaÃÃo das mesmas. / The present study aims at developing conceptual and operational definitions to the results from Tissue Integrity Nursing addressed to venous ulcers patients. In chapter 1, definitions to concepts related to the referred results applied to the evaluation of venous ulcers. In order to do so, an integrative review was made based on the data collection from the periodical International Journal of Nursing Terminologies and Classifications. The sample was composed of eight articles. The information regarding the concepts from Tissue Integrity Nursing and its indicators were gathered, compared, and grouped. Operational and conceptual definitions were proposed to Tissue Integrity Nursing, as well as fictitious indicators were added. The development of definitions from the Tissue Integrity Result enabled a better understanding of its use according to venous ulcers contexts. In chapter 2, the construction of the operational and conceptual definitions was presented to the appreciation of 29 experts, thus validating the content. The selection of the experts was made based on Fehringâs standards. The choice of the participants was made through search on Lattes plataform (CNPq). Two instruments were used: one related to the expertâs profile, and the other related to the analysis of the conceptual and operational indicators. The instrumentâs final version showed 18 indicators, and three of them were fictitious. Three indicators proposed by Nursing Outcomes Classifications NOC were excluded, as well as the item Fatigue (fictitious). The expertsâ suggestions and remarks were analyzed and most of them were also abided by. Finally, in chapter 3, we dealt with the execution of the clinical validation of the proposed definitions along with the patients afflicted with venous ulcers. The validation study was held with 22 patients. The instruments used were clinical and identification data, and also indicators with operational definitions. Ten nurses applied the instruments, some of them had operational definitions and the others did not. Friedmanâs test showed the average difference between the evaluatorsâ groups. The differences were calculated in at least one of the groups by the Minimal Detectable Change (MDC) method, besides the intraclass correlation coefficient. Except from the indicator âtextureâ, Friedmanâs test and the MDC method showed that the indicators presented significant statistical differences between the two groups (with or without operational definitions). However, the MDC method showed that the evaluation differences between the evaluators from the group that used the operational definitions was not significant. It was noticed that the intraclass correlation values from the group without the definitions were inferior to the one that used those definitions. The operational definitions built, except from the indicator âtextureâ, enabled greater uniformity and similarity between the evaluations of patients affected with venous ulcers. Bearing this in mind, the thesis that the use of definitions in the evaluation of patients afflicted with venous ulcers enables more accurate evaluation can be confirmed.

ValidaÃÃo de procedimentos operacionais padrÃo: Proposta de cuidados com cateter totalmente implantado / Validation of procedures operational standards: proposal of cares with the catheter totally implanted

Rita Paiva Pereira HonÃrio 23 June 2009 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Estudo de desenvolvimento que objetivou validar procedimentos operacionais padrÃo (POPâs) para o cuidado com o cateter totalmente implantado; atravÃs do nÃvel de concordÃncia dos juÃzes quanto à adequaÃÃo dos conteÃdos dos POPs referentes à punÃÃo, heparinizaÃÃo e curativo do cateter e obter a opiniÃo dos enfermeiros quanto à objetividade e clareza dos instrumentos. A abordagem metodolÃgica de validaÃÃo adotada foi a de Hoskins (1989) em duas de suas trÃs etapas, a validaÃÃo de conceito e a de conteÃdo. O primeiro passo da teoria foi concluÃdo em experiÃncia acadÃmica anterior, latu senso. A validaÃÃo de conteÃdo aconteceu em duas fases. Previamente, os POPâs foram submetidos à apreciaÃÃo por nove expertos, mediante um instrumento organizado como ferramenta de mediÃÃo na forma de escala tipo Likert, com quatro nÃveis de suporte. A primeira parte deste instrumento conteve informaÃÃes sobre os avaliadores a fim de caracterizÃ-los quanto à sua atuaÃÃo cientifica; a segunda abrangeu os itens a serem avaliados do POP de acordo com suas subdivisÃes (resultado esperado, recursos necessÃrios, atividades, cuidados especiais e aÃÃes de nÃo-conformidade). No final de cada item avaliativo, os participantes puderam justificar suas respostas e dar sugestÃes. A segunda fase da validaÃÃo de conteÃdo deu-se pela anÃlise de sete especialistas (validaÃÃo aparente) quanto à clareza e objetividade dos instrumentos. Para este fim, foi montada uma estaÃÃo prÃtica com boneco adaptado com cateter totalmente implantado para a punÃÃo, heparinizaÃÃo e curativo. Esta pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comità de Ãtica em Pesquisa do Hospital UniversitÃrio Walter CantÃdio. Os dados foram tabulados e analisados de acordo com a escala proposta por Fehring (1987), em que à realizada a mÃdia ponderal dos escores, considerando-se o percentual de concordÃncia de 80%. Os resultados evidenciaram, nos itens e na maioria dos subitens, Ãndice de concordÃncia dos expertos superior ao percentual estipulado. Os subitens que obtiveram escore abaixo de 80% (0,66 a 0,77) receberam sugestÃes quanto à abrangÃncia, aspectos-chave, sequÃncia dos itens e precisÃo. Cada sugestÃo do experto ou especialista foi analisada e modificada de acordo com as evidÃncias cientificas. A eleiÃÃo da ferramenta âProcedimento Operacional PadrÃoâ possibilitou que fossem contempladas as diversas dimensÃes da prÃtica do enfermeiro no cuidado com o cateter totalmente implantado e a visualizaÃÃo da necessidade da construÃÃo de novos POPâs. Os instrumentos validados neste estudo oferecem subsÃdios para direcionar os enfermeiros e estudantes de Enfermagem na assistÃncia aos pacientes portadores de cateter totalmente implantado, criando perspectivas de discussÃes e pesquisas futuras

Effect of planned patient teaching and psychological support on the adaptation of the elderly patient to the surgical insertion of a permanent pacemaker

Shannon, Valerie Jane January 1977 (has links)
An experimental study, using a pretest-posttest control group design, was conducted in a 570 bed acute care teaching hospital. Its purpose was to evaluate the effect of planned patient teaching and psychological support on the ability of the elderly patient to adapt to the surgical insertion of a permanent cardiac pacemaker. Nine subjects, who met the study criteria, were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. Each subject was asked if he would like to include a significant other in the project. The members of the experimental group (5 patients, 3 significant others) were seen individually by the nurse investigator on or close to the third, fourth and fifth postoperative day at which time their questions were answered, they were given the opportunity to express their concerns and, they were shown a 15 minute slide-tape programme about pacemakers. The members of the control group (4 patients, 4 significant others) were provided with the usual nursing care given by the ward nursing staff. All patients received a booklet from the company supplying their specific type of pacemaker. The hypotheses tested were: 1. Patient teaching and psychological support will increase the knowledge base of the patient and his significant other. 2. Patient teaching and psychological support will decrease the state and trait anxiety levels of the patient and his significant other. 3. Patient teaching and psychological support will enable the patient and his significant other to demonstrate pulse taking. 4. Patient teaching and psychological support will maintain or increase the activity level of the patient from his preoperative state. At approximately two and four weeks after discharge from the hospital, the nurse investigator visited all the patients in the study and their significant others. Knowledge base, anxiety (state and trait) level, activity level and pulse taking ability were measured on all patients; whereas, only knowledge base, pulse taking ability and anxiety (state and trait) level were measured on all significant others. No significant differences were found between the two groups on any of these variables. Some methodological problems and clinical implications of the findings are discussed. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Nursing, School of / Graduate

Primary nursing as seen by patients and nurses

Konnert, Joanne Norine January 1976 (has links)
Primary nursing is a system of delivering nursing care when one nurse is responsible and accountable for the assessment of the patient's needs as well as the planning, implementing and evaluating of the nursing care throughout the patient's hospitalization. These activities are done in collaboration with the patient and other members of the health team. This system is a relatively recent development in the field of nursing. There has been little research done to either describe or evaluate primary nursing, particularly in the area of psychiatry. This study was an attempt to include both patients and nurses in such an evaluation. A validated and reliable questionnaire was developed by the author to obtain data related to patients' and nurses’ perceptions of the occurrence, importance and satisfaction of specific primary nursing behaviours. The questionnaire was administered to twenty-nine patients and their primary nurses during the last week of the patient's hospitalization. Nurses and patients reported that primary nursing behaviours related to discharge had a low occurrence rate. However, they attributed a high degree of importance to these same behaviours. Both groups reported a low occurrence and importance score for primary nursing behaviours related to family involvement with the primary nurse and the patient's treatment program. Both nurses and patients agreed on the occurrence and importance of most of the primary nursing behaviours. There was less agreement in the area of satisfaction. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Nursing, School of / Graduate
