- Addressing ageism : be active in aging: study protocolPublication . Fernandes, Júlio Belo; Ramos, Catarina; Domingos, Josefa; Castro, Cidália; Simões, Aida; Bernardes, Catarina; Fonseca, Jorge; Proença, Luís; Grunho, Miguel; Moleirinho-Alves, Paula; Simões, Sérgio; Sousa-Catita, Diogo; Vareta, Diana Alves; Godinho, CatarinaAgeism refers to stereotyping (how we think), prejudice (how we feel), and discrimination (how we act) against people based on their age. It is a serious public health issue that can negatively impact older people’s health and quality of life. The present protocol has several goals: (1) adapt the Ambivalent Ageism Scale for the general Portuguese population and healthcare professionals; (2) assess the factorial invariance of the questionnaire between general population vs. healthcare professionals; (3) evaluate the level of ageism and its predictors in the general population and evaluate the level of ageism and its predictors in healthcare professionals; (4) compare the levels of ageism between groups and the invariance between groups regarding the explanatory model of predictors of ageism. This quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, observational study will be developed in partnership with several Healthcare Professional Boards/Associations, National Geriatrics and Gerontology Associations, and the Universities of the Third Age Network Association. The web-based survey will be conducted on a convenience sample recruited via various social media and institutional channels. The survey consists of three questionnaires: (1) Demographic data; (2) Ambivalent Ageism Scale; (3) Palmore-Neri and Cachioni questionnaire. The methodology of this study will include translation, pilot testing, semantic adjustment, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and multigroup analysis of the Ambivalent Ageism Scale. Data will be treated using International Business Machines Corporation (IBM®) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS). Descriptive analysis will be conducted to assess the level of ageism in the study sample. The ageism levels between the two groups will be compared using the t-student test, and two Structural Equation Modeling will be developed to evaluate the predictors of ageism. Assessing ageism is necessary to allow healthcare professionals and policymakers to design and implement strategies to solve or reduce this issue. Findings from this study will generate knowledge relevant to healthcare and medical courses along with anti-ageism education for the Portuguese population.
- Assessing the magnitude of burnout among emergency nurses in PortugalPublication . Fernandes, Júlio Belo; Antunes, Ricardo; Ivanel, Maria; Lucas, Mariana; Oliveira, Ricardo; Bico, Wilson; Simões, Aida; Vareta, Diana; Bernardes, Catarina; Vaz, Célia; Hall, Steven; Fernandes, Sónia; Castro, CidáliaBackground: Burnout is a health condition associated with chronic work-related stress. Nurses working in hospital emergency rooms are particularly susceptible to experiencing burnout. It is crucial to understand the phenomena of burnout among emergency room nurses, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic that healthcare professionals have confronted. This study aims to evaluate burnout among nurses working in emergency rooms while examining the relationship between burnout and sociodemographic and occupational variables. Methods: This descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional study utilized a web-based survey administered to 112 nurses from eight hospital emergency rooms in the Lisbon metropolitan area between November 2022 and February 2023. Burnout was measured using the Portuguese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), which assessed three subscales: Emotional Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DP), and Personal Accomplishment (PA). The relationship between burnout and sociodemographic and professional characteristics of nurses in emergency rooms was analyzed using Chi-square tests and one-way ANOVA. Results: The prevalence of burnout was 56.6%, with 27.4% experiencing severe burnout. The three subscales of the MBI showed high prevalence rates: 49.1% for EE, 44.6% for DP, and 38.4% for low PA. Severe burnout and high EE were associated with younger age, being single, not having children, having less professional experience, less graduate training, and having more precarious employment contracts. Conclusions: Three years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the results highlight the ongoing critical situation arising from the cumulative effects of the crisis on the Portuguese healthcare system, leading to high rates of burnout and EE among emergency room nurses.
- Barriers to gait training among stroke survivors : an integrative reviewPublication . Tavares, Eveline; Coelho, Joana; Rogado, Patrícia; Correia, Rita; Castro, Cidália; Fernandes, Júlio BeloGait recovery is vital for stroke survivors’ ability to perform their activities associated with daily living. Consequently, a gait impairment is a significant target for stroke survivors’ physical rehabilitation. This review aims to identify barriers to gait training among stroke survivors. An integrative review was conducted following Whittemore and Knafl’s methodology. The research was carried out on the electronic databases Scopus, PubMed, and B-on, applying a time span of 2006 to 2022. A total of 4189 articles were initially identified. After selecting and analyzing the articles, twelve studies were included in the sample. This review allowed for the identification of several barriers to gait training among stroke survivors, which can be grouped into three categories: individual, environmental, and rehabilitation workforce-related barriers. These findings highlight that participation in gait training is not solely dependent on the stroke survivor. Instead, the uptake of rehabilitation programs may also depend on environmental and rehabilitation workforce-related factors.
- Current trends in gait rehabilitation for stroke survivors : a scoping review of randomized controlled trialsPublication . Teodoro, Joana; Fernandes, Sónia; Castro, Cidália; Fernandes, Júlio BeloBackground: Stroke stands as a significant global health concern, constituting a leading cause of disability worldwide. Rehabilitation interventions are crucial in aiding the recovery of stroke patients, contributing to an overall enhancement in their quality of life. This scoping review seeks to identify current trends in gait rehabilitation for stroke survivors. Methods: The review followed the methodological framework suggested by Arksey and O’Malley. Electronic databases, such as CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE Complete, and Nursing & Allied Health Collection, were systematically searched in November 2023. Inclusion criteria comprised papers published in either English or Portuguese from 2013 to 2023. Results: From the initial search, a total of 837 papers were identified; twenty-one papers were incorporated into this review. Thirteen distinct categories of gait rehabilitation interventions were identified, encompassing diverse approaches. These categories comprise conventional rehabilitation exercises, traditional gait training with integrated technology, and gait training supported by modern technologies. Conclusions: Although traditional rehabilitation exercises have historically proven effective in aiding stroke survivors, a recent trend has emerged, emphasizing the development and integration of innovative therapeutic approaches that harness modern technologies.

- Exploring senior nursing students’ perspectives on humanizing care for patients in isolation : a qualitative studyPublication . Fernandes, Júlio Belo; Castro, Cidália; Simões, Aida; Vareta, Diana; Barros, Inês; Benatti, Luiza; Hall, Steven; Fernandes, SóniaBackground: Isolation units play a vital role in controlling disease transmission and ensuring the safety of both patients and healthcare professionals. However, the experience of isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness and anxiety that negatively affect patients’ wellbeing and recovery. Given this, making care more humanized in these settings should be a key priority in healthcare. This study explores nursing students’ perspectives on interventions that contribute to humanizing care for patients in isolation units. Methods: A theory-informed qualitative descriptive study was conducted with 19 senior nursing students completing clinical placements in isolation units across five hospitals. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s six-step thematic analysis. Watson’s Theory of Human Caring was used as a sensitizing framework to support data interpretation. Results: The study identified several nursing interventions that enhance the humanization of patient care in isolation units. These interventions were classified into two main dimensions based on Watson’s theory. The instrumental dimension included interventions focused on symptom management, physical comfort, infection prevention and control, continuity of care, and discharge planning. The expressive dimension encompassed strategies directed at establishing a therapeutic relationship, individualized care planning, emotional and psychosocial support, relaxation and entertainment, patient empowerment, and family involvement. Conclusion: Categorizing these interventions within the framework of the Theory of Human Caring provides valuable insight into various approaches to humanizing care in isolation units. These findings can contribute to the development of patient-centered care models, encouraging healthcare professionals to deliver more comprehensive and compassionate care that addresses the holistic needs of isolated patients.
- Health professionals’ motivational strategies to enhance adherence in the rehabilitation of people with lower limb fractures : scoping reviewPublication . Fernandes, Júlio Belo; Ferreira, Noélia; Domingos, Josefa; Ferreira, Rui; Amador, Catarina; Pardal, Nelson; Castro, Cidália; Simões, Aida; Fernandes, Sónia; Bernardes, Catarina; Vareta, Diana Alves; Peças, Dina; Ladislau, Dora; Sousa, Natacha; Duarte, Andreia; Godinho, CatarinaPatients with lower limb fractures require rehabilitation but often struggle with adherence to interventions. Adding motivational strategies to rehabilitation programs can increase patient adherence and enhance outcomes. This review aims to identify the motivational strategies used by health professionals in the rehabilitation of people with lower limb fractures. We used Arksey and O’Malley’s methodological framework to structure and conduct this scoping review. The literature search was performed using the Scopus, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Nursing & Allied Health, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. The final search was conducted in February 2023. A total of 1339 articles were identified. After selecting and analyzing the articles, twelve studies were included in this review. Health professionals use several strategies to motivate patients with lower limb fractures to adhere to rehabilitation programs. These strategies include building a therapeutic alliance, increasing patients’ health literacy, setting achievable goals, personalizing the rehabilitation program, managing unpleasant sensations of exercise, using persuasion, providing positive reinforcement, avoiding negative emotional stimulation, and helping to seek support. The motivational strategies identified may help professionals to increase patient adherence to rehabilitation for lower limb fractures. This knowledge will allow these professionals to help patients overcome barriers to rehabilitation, enhance their motivation, and ultimately improve their recovery outcomes.
