RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Leukoreduction has been used to limit the risk of adverse events. The most commonly used methodology is filtration (pre- or post-storage). However, whether pre-storage filtration is better than post-storage filtration needs to be clearly defined, particularly for countries that still use post-storage filtration. This study aimed to synthesize the best available evidence on the effectiveness of pre-storage filters compared with post-storage filters for transfusion reactions, for the occurrence of infections, for the length of hospital stay, and for the death of patients undergoing leukoreduced transfusion. METHODS: We searched the MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), PsycINFO (APA), Scopus (Elsevier), The Cochrane Library (J. Wiley), Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics), Embase (Elsevier), and LILACS (VHL) databases and gray literature for eligible studies in August 2020 and updated the search in October 2023. The Joanna Briggs Institute critical assessment tools were applied to analyze the quality appraisal of the studies. GRADE was used to determine the certainty of the evidence. RESULTS: The meta-analysis showed that pre-storage filtration was a protective factor for the occurrence of febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction in red blood cells (RR 0.49, 95% CI 0.41-0.59) and platelet concentrate transfusions (RR 0.16, 95% CI 0.12-0.22). The same did not occur for post-surgical infection after platelet concentrate transfusions (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.65-1.04). Only one study analyzed the length of hospital stay and showed no significant difference between patients who received leukoreduced transfusions according to the type of filter used. According to the GRADE criteria, the certainty of the evidence for febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions was low for red blood cells and very low for platelet concentrate due to the high risk of bias. Infection was a low risk due to imprecision. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this review showed that the certainty of recommending the best type of filter (pre- or post-storage) for the benefit of the outcomes analyzed is still fragile; therefore, more robust evidence is needed.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Patients undergoing intubation and mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit risk developing post-extubation oropharyngeal dysphagia (PED). PED can lead to aspiration complications, aspiration pneumonia, and prolonged hospitalization, as well as increased repeat intubation and in-hospital morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE: This evidence implementation project aimed to promote evidence-based screening and early detection of PED in an adult intensive care unit in a secondary public hospital in Brazil. METHOD: The project followed the seven-phase JBI Evidence Implementation Framework to promote changes at the study site. The JBI Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System (PACES) and Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) approach were also used. The project was developed considering the main barriers to best practices, which were identified through a baseline audit. An educational program was designed to address the identified barriers. Two follow-up audits were then conducted to assess the changes in compliance with the evidence-based practices. RESULTS: The baseline audit showed deficits in current practices. The first follow-up audit indicated improved compliance with best practices, with five of the seven audit criteria showing 100% compliance. The second follow-up audit indicated that compliance remained at 100% for those five criteria and increased for the other two after an additional intervention to address poor results in nursing care documentation. CONCLUSION: The first follow-up audit showed good adherence to the educational program for the screening and detection of PED by nurses. The second follow-up audit, in line with the new strategies, showed improvement in nursing documentation. SPANISH ABSTRACT: http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A241.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Worldwide, approximately 64 million people live with signs and symptoms of heart failure(HF), considered one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, hospitalizations and worsening of quality of life. Self-care is a nonpharmacological approach to control the progression of HF, which involves behaviors to maintain health and monitor and manage symptoms. However, self-care still insufficient among this population in Brazil and worldwide. The Educational Program for Self-Care in Heart Failure (PEAC-CI) is an acceptable and feasible intervention that needs to be evaluated for its effectiveness. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the PEAC-IC in improving self-care behaviors (primary outcome), knowledge, quality of life, the number of hospitalizations, and access to emergency services in patients with HF (secondary outcome). METHODS: A parallel randomized clinical trial with HF patients recruited in a clinical cardiology ward and outpatient settings of the Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology in São Paulo/Brazil. Participants were randomized to the intervention group (IG), receiving the PEAC-CI intervention, and the control group (CG), receiving standard care. The intervention consisted of a face-to-face session followed by five structured telephone contacts every week during six weeks. Standard care consisted of general guidance during hospital discharge and outpatient follow-ups with medical and nursing consultations when indicated. The outcomes were assessed in seventh week or after the six sessions of the implementation of PEAC-IC, and then third and sixth month after the first assessment in both groups. The primary outcome was measured with the Self-Care of HF Index v.6.2, which measures selfcare maintenance, management, and confidence; scores of these three scales range between 0-100, with higher scores meaning better self-care. RESULTS: We enrolled 80 patients, and 56 completed the entire intervention. These patients were mostly males (52.5%), with a mean age of 61.8 years (SD= 12,6) 44.9% white, with a diagnosis of HF from an average of 174.9 (SD=158,3), 50% in New York Heart Association functional class III. At baseline, self-care maintenance, management, and confidence scores were 51.6, 56.2, and 54.1, respectively. At the seven-week follow-up, the IG scored 72.3 on self-care maintenance, while the CG scored 61. The difference between the two groups, assessed with the linear mixed model, was clinically and statistically significant (p0.05). CONCLUSION: The PEAC-CI has effectively improved self-care maintenance in patients with HF. Even though the improvement in the secondary outcomes was not statistically significant, we observed a trend towards statistically significance.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the characteristics of the activation of the yellow code in wards and identify the factors associated with adverse events after the Rapid Response Team. METHODS: a cross-sectional study with retrospective analysis of medical records of adults admitted to medical or surgical clinic wards of the University Hospital of São Paulo. RESULTS: among the 91 patients, the most frequent signs of triggers (n=107) were peripheral oxygen saturation of less than 90% (40.2%) and hypotension (30.8%). Regarding the associated factors the research identified each minute of attendance of the Rapid Response Team in the wards increased by 1.2% odds of adverse events (twenty-four unplanned admission in the ICU and one cardiac arrest) in the sample (p=0.014). CONCLUSIONS: decreased oxygen saturation and hypotension were the main reasons for the triggering, and the length of care was associated with the frequency of adverse events.

RESUMO

The characteristics of music interventions for reducing anxiety in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization were mapped. A scoping review was conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Searches were performed in electronic portals and databases PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane, EMBASE, Scopus, LILACS, CAPES Thesis Portal (Brazil), DART-Europe E-theses Portal, Theses Canada Portal, Pro-Quest, and Google Scholar databases, gray literature, with no limitation on the year of publication. Eighteen articles were included in the search. The characteristics of the interventions were heterogeneous and not comprehensively described in the primary studies. The songs were predominantly of a single genre, instrumental, and selected by the interventionist, with a rhythm between 60 and 80 beats per minute. The interventions were delivered in a single session, mostly in the catheterization laboratory, before or during the procedure, by means of digital audio and earphones for over 20 min. The heterogeneity of interventions and incompleteness of information in the studies compromises the advancement of knowledge on the effects of music on health outcomes.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this review is to synthesize the available evidence on the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation on the functional capacity of people who have finished drug treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary rehabilitation is a treatment option for physical functional problems that persist after pharmacological treatment for tuberculosis; however, the results of primary studies on the subject are inconclusive. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review will consider for inclusion studies carried out with adults (≥18 years old) who have completed pharmacological treatment for tuberculosis. Outcomes of interest will include functional capacity, quality of life, lung function, respiratory and skeletal muscle strength, subjective perception exertion, and dyspnea. METHODS: Searches for published and unpublished studies will be carried out on MEDLINE (via PubMed), LILACS, PEDro, CINAHL, Web of Science, Embase, Science Direct, Scopus, Cochrane Library (CENTRAL), Sport Medicine and Education Index, Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Source, and SPORTDiscus. The results of the review will be reported according to PRISMA guidelines. There will be no language or time limitations. Two independent reviewers will select and critically appraise the selected studies and extract the data using standardized instruments. The certainty of evidence will be reported according to GRADE. Where appropriate, studies will be subjected to meta-analysis. Effect sizes will be expressed in odds ratios (for dichotomous data) or in standardized mean difference (for continuous data) and its 95% CI.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the caregiver's contribution to self-care in heart failure and the predictor variables of this contribution. METHOD: a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study, with the participation of 140 dyads (patients and caregivers). The contribution to self-care was assessed using the Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care of Heart Failure Index. Caregivers and patients were interviewed separately to obtain the data. Multiple linear regressions were used to verify predictor variables of caregiver contribution. RESULTS: the mean score for contribution to maintenance self-care was 62.7 (SD=7.1), for management, 62.9 (SD=20.4) and for confidence was 63.3 (SD=22.1). The variables number of patient's medications, caregiver being related to the patient, social perception of caregiver, health-related quality of life of the patient and caregiver's confidence in contributing to self-care were predictors of caregiver's contribution to maintenance or management self-care. CONCLUSION: the caregiver's contribution was insufficient. The social support perceived by the caregiver, the type of relationship the caregiver to the patient, the number of medications used by the patient, as well as the caregiver's confidence in contributing to self-care are variables that should be considered to assess the risk of insufficient contribution of the caregiver.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To verify the effect of using the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) system on the compliance of the vital signs monitoring interval with those recommended for patients in the emergency room. METHODS: This is a quasi-experimental, before-and-after study, performed in an emergency room with 280 adult patients selected by convenience. The effect of NEWS on the compliance of the vital signs monitoring interval with those recommended by the system was analyzed by linear regression. RESULTS: In the Pre-NEWS phase, 143 patients were analyzed (mean age ± standard deviation: 54.4 ± 20.5; male: 56.6%) and, in the Post-NEWS phase, 137 patients (mean age ± standard deviation: 55.5 ± 20.8; male: 50.4%). There was compliance of the vital signs monitoring interval with what is recommended by NEWS in 92.6% of vital signs records after adopting this instrument. This compliance was 9% (p < 0.001) higher in the Post-NEWS phase. CONCLUSION: The use of the NEWS system increased the compliance of the vital signs monitoring intervals with the ones recommended, but this compliance decreased when the NEWS score pointed to a shorter interval in the monitoring of vital signs.

Abstract Objective To identify the needs, advantages, facilitating factors, and barriers for implementation of best practices in clinical simulation (CS) design, proposed by the International Nursing Association of Clinical and Simulation Learning (INACSL). Methods This was a qualitative case study method based on Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Theory. Data collection was conducted in a public educational institution, by observations of CS activities and semi-structured interviews, recorded, with 18 people involved in these activities, and submitted to content analysis. Results Good practices were considered necessary, because they contribute to the systematization of the CS design; they were also considered advantageous, as they can positively impact the quality of care provided by the student to the patient in the clinical training field. The institutional interest in improving CS was a facilitator. However, the lack of methodological knowledge regarding CS strategy, insufficient human resources to use new teaching practices, and the team's lack of time to include changes in its usual practices were considered barriers to the implementation of good practices. Conclusion The implementation of good practices in CS design is necessary for the potential benefits of the strategy to be appreciated. Knowledge about the need, advantage, facilitators, and barriers contributes to the design of actions supported by consistent data for the effective implementation of the innovation.

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: analisar a contribuição do cuidador para o autocuidado na insuficiência cardíaca e variáveis preditoras desta contribuição. MÉTODO: estudo transversal descritivo e analítico, com a participação de 140 díades (pacientes e cuidadores). A contribuição para o autocuidado foi avaliada por meio do Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care of Heart Failure Index. Cuidadores e pacientes foram entrevistados separadamente para obtenção dos dados. A regressão linear múltipla foi utilizada para verificar variáveis preditoras da contribuição do cuidador. RESULTADOS: a pontuação média de contribuição para o autocuidado de manutenção foi 62,7 (DP=7,1), de manejo, 62,9 (DP=20,4) e na confiança foi 63,3 (DP=22,1). A variáveis número de medicamentos do paciente, cuidador ter parentesco com o paciente, percepção social do cuidador, qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde do paciente e a confiança do cuidador na contribuição para o autocuidado foram preditoras da contribuição do cuidador para o autocuidado de manutenção ou de manejo. CONCLUSÃO: a contribuição do cuidador foi insuficiente. O apoio social percebido pelo cuidador, cuidador ter ou não parentesco com o paciente, número de medicamentos utilizados pelo paciente, bem como a confiança do cuidador em contribuir para o autocuidado são variáveis que devem ser consideradas para avaliar o risco de contribuição insuficiente do cuidador.

RESULTS: the mean score for contribution to maintenance self-care was 62.7 (SD=7.1), for management, 62.9 (SD=20.4) and for confidence was 63.3 (SD=22.1). The variables number of patient's medications, caregiver being related to the patient, social perception of caregiver, health related quality of life of the patient and caregiver's confidence in contributing to self-care were predictors of caregiver's contribution to maintenance or management self-care. CONCLUSION: the caregiver's contribution was insufficient. The social support perceived by the caregiver, the type of relationship the caregiver to the patient, the number of medications used by the patient, as well as the caregiver's confidence in contributing to self-care are variables that should be considered to assess the risk of insufficient contribution of the caregiver.

OBJETIVO: analizar la contribución del cuidador para el autocuidado en la insuficiencia cardiaca y las variables predictoras de esa contribución. MÉTODO: estudio transversal descriptivo y analítico, con la participación de 140 díadas (pacientes y cuidadores). La contribución para el autocuidado fue evaluada por medio del Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care of Heart Failure Index. Los cuidadores y pacientes fueron entrevistados separadamente para obtención de los datos. La regresión linear múltiple fue utilizada para verificar variables predictoras de la contribución del cuidador. RESULTADOS: la puntuación média de contribución para el autocuidado de manutención fue 62,7 (DE=7,1), de administración fue 62,9 (DE=20,4) y de confianza fue 63,3 (DE=22,1). Las variables: número de medicamentos del paciente, cuidador tener parentesco con el paciente, percepción social del cuidador, calidad de vida relacionada a la salud del paciente y la confianza del cuidador en la contribución para el autocuidado, fueron predictoras de la contribución del cuidador para el autocuidado de manutención o de administración. CONCLUSIÓN: la contribución del cuidador fue insuficiente. El apoyo social percibido por el cuidador, el cuidador tener o no parentesco con el paciente, el número de medicamentos utilizados por el paciente y la confianza del cuidador en contribuir para el autocuidado, son variables que deben ser consideradas para evaluar el riesgo de contribución insuficiente del cuidador.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objectives: Assess the compliance of the implementation of better evidence in the transitional care of the person with heart failure from the hospital to the home. Methods: Evidence implementation project according to the JBI methodology in a cardiology hospital in São Paulo. Six criteria were audited before and after implementing strategies to increase compliance with best practices. 14 nurses and 22 patients participated in the audits. Results: In the baseline audit, compliance was null with five of the six criteria. Strategies: training of nurses; reformulation of the hospital discharge form and guidance on self-care in care contexts; and making telephone contact on the 7th, 14th and 21st days after discharge. In the follow-up audit, there was 100% compliance with five of the six criteria. Conclusion: The project made it possible to increase the compliance of transitional care practices in people with heart failure with the recommendations based on the best evidence.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Rasch model has not yet been used to evaluate the Chronic Pain Coping Inventory (CPCI), a tool used worldwide to measure coping with chronic pain. OBJECTIVE: Analyze the adjustment of the CPCI-Brazilian version and its scales to the Rasch model. METHODS: CPCI Rasch analysis with 705 outpatients from a Brazilian hospital. RESULTS: The set of Illness-Focused coping strategies presented as a one-dimensional scale. The Rasch reliability of the person item ranged between 0.33 and 0.89, and 0.29 and 0.99, respectively. There were misfits for items 35 (MNSQOutfit = 2.12) and 54 (MNSQOutfit = 2.92), and DIF of one item regarding gender. The Wright map revealed some gaps in coping measurement. CONCLUSIONS: The scales of CPCIBrazilian Version fitted to the Rasch model after adjustments in the categories of response and exclusion of items 35 and 54.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: to propose quality indicators for clinical nursing documentation. METHODS: methodological study in which literature review guided the composition of an instrument for evaluating nursing documentation. Two independent professionals evaluated 204 medical records of adult patients. The analysis of this assessment generated quality indicators for clinical nursing documentation. Inter-rater agreement was analyzed by Cohen's kappa. RESULTS: the bibliographic review, analysis by experts and pre-test resulted in 88 evaluation items distributed in seven topics; in 88.5% of the items, inter-rater agreement between strong and almost perfect (k=0.61-1.0) was observed. Analysis of the evaluations generated a global indicator and seven partial indicators of documentation quality. Compliance in the two services ranged between 62.3% and 93.4%. The global indicator showed a 2.1% difference between services. CONCLUSIONS: seven quality indicators of clinical nursing documentation and their method of application in hospital records have been proposed.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: to adapt the Simulation Effectiveness Tool - Modified (SET-M) to Portuguese and to verify validity and reliability indexes. METHOD: methodological study using ISPOR, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, correlation between the adapted instrument/Simulation Design Scale - Student Version/Individual Practice Assessment and reliability (test-retest and internal consistency indexes). Convenience sample with a total of 435 Nursing undergraduate and graduate students. RESULTS: Simulation Effectiveness Tool - Modified Brazilian Version obtained an average score between 2.36 to 2.94. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis had a factor load > 0.30 for 17 of the 19 items. Cronbach's alpha ranged between 0.729 and 0.874. McDonald's omega was 0.782. There was no correlation between Simulation Effectiveness Tool - Modified Brazilian Version and the Simulation Design or Individual Practical Assessment. There was a positive correlation between the Simulation Effectiveness Tool - Modified Brazilian Version and the participants' age. The scores of the volunteers in the simulations were significantly higher than those of the observers in three domains. CONCLUSION: the SET-M Brazilian Version, maintaining the 19 items and four domains of the original scale, was made available for use in Brazil to evaluate the effectiveness of the simulation, recommending studies with different samples.
