- O Jogo e as Atividades Lúdicas na Aprendizagem da MatemáticaPublication . Teixeira, Joana; Machado, RicardoO presente relatório final foi realizado no âmbito da prática de ensino supervisionada do Mestrado de Qualificação para a Docência em Educação Pré-Escolar e Ensino do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Tendo em conta que no quotidiano a aprendizagem da matemática está associada à existência de dificuldades, por parte dos alunos, a planificação de atividades lúdicas e de jogos matemáticos pretende contornar esta tendência proporcionando um conjunto de atividades enriquecedoras e significativas capazes de auxiliar as crianças e alunos, no desenvolvimento de um conjunto de competências e capacidades matemáticas, de forma lúdica e divertida. A presente investigação realizada nos seguintes contextos: educação pré-escolar (ano letivo 2019/2020) e 1.º ciclo do ensino básico (ano letivo 2020/2021) encontra-se assente num design de investigação-ação do paradigma interpretativo, tendo sido adotados os seguintes instrumentos de recolha de dados: observação direta naturalista (participante), notas de campo, recolha e análise documental e conversas informais. Os resultados recolhidos pretendem dar resposta às questões problema da investigação, bem como apurar a relevância do jogo e do lúdico como recurso didático no processo de ensino-aprendizagem da matemática na educação pré-escolar e no 1.º ciclo do ensino básico.
- Nursing interventions to promote dyspnea self-management of complex chronic patients: An integrated reviewPublication . Henriques, Helga Rafael; Correia, Andreia; Santos, Tatiana; Faria, José; Sousa, Diana; Portela, Joana; Teixeira, JoanaObjectives: Chronic dyspnea, a distressing symptom in patients with complex chronic conditions, is linked to higher risks of mortality. This study aimed to identify nursing interventions that could improve self-management for complex chronic patients, thereby enhancing control over chronic dyspnea. The findings intend to guide nursing care strategies that promote self-management among this population. Methods: We searched the databases Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) databases were searched in December 2023. We included adult patients with complex chronic conditions with chronic dyspnoea. The team screened articles collaboratively, using Rayyan software. A qualitative appraisal was performed according to JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist tools. The review protocol is registered under the number CRD42023456021. Results: Our review included 18 studies that explored a variety of interventions for chronic dyspnea. We identified pharmacological interventions (such as oxygen therapy and inhalation treatments) and nonpharmacological approaches (including educational programs, breathing exercises, fluid intake management, body awareness techniques, peer support, emotional intelligence training, and the use of web applications). Those interventions empower patients, improve their ability to fulfill life roles, mitigate emotional distress, and improve overall quality of life. Nursing care can be crucial in enabling individuals to achieve independence and autonomy in self-care. Conclusions: Promoting self-management for chronic dyspnea in complex chronic patients requires a holistic approach, encompassing multidisciplinary interventions, individualized self-care education, peer engagement, and technological support. Current research on self-management inadequately addresses interventions targeting patient behaviour change. It highlights the need to delve deeper into the selfmanagement process. Further research is needed to expand the evidence base and refine these interventions.

Conclusão: Este estudo apresenta novas evidências sobre a QVRS dos doentes portadores de patologia oncológica da próstata, nomeadamente em dimensões relacionadas com funções emocionais e sociais, fadiga, náusea e vómito, insónia, sintomas de obstipação e diarreia, atividade sexual, sintomas urinários, intestinais e relacionados com o tratamento hormonal, desde o diagnóstico da doença aos 6 meses de tratamento. Uma intervenção dos profissionais de saúde direcionada para os domínios mais afetados pode proporcionar uma melhor qualidade de vida aos doentes.
- Sexual dysfunction and quality of life in prostate cancer.Publication . Teixeira, Joana; Couto, Germano; Prata, Ana Paula; Almeida, Ana MariaProstate cancer causes changes, such as erectile dysfunction, with a significant impact on the perception of quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study is to identify changes in perception of QoL related to erectile dysfunction over time. A descriptive, analytical and longitudinal study was conducted with the participation of oncological patients from the ambulatory urology department of an oncology hospital unit of the North of Portugal. The sample, obtained through convenience non-probabilistic sampling between October 2015 and July 2016, included 60 patients. The instrument used for data collection was IIEF-5 (International Index of Erectile Function-5) that evaluates the severity degree of erectile dysfunction (ED). Sexual function did not present clinical or statistical differences along the studied period. Cultural issues related to privacy preservation may justify our sexual function scores. Early identification of QoL changes may guide nurses to patient-centered care.
- The Burnout of Nurses in Intensive Care Units and the Impact of the Pandemic of SARS-CoV-2: Protocol of a Scoping ReviewPublication . Lima, Andreia; Moreira, Maria Teresa; Fernandes, Carla Sílvia; Ferreira, Margarida; Teixeira, Joana; Parola, Vítor; Coelho, AdrianaAbstract: Background: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has brought multiple challenges for health institutions and their professionals. The requirement of this disease forced nurses to confront organizational and clinical challenges to maintain the quality standards of care they provide. These requirements may have contributed to increased burnout symptoms. This study aims to map the scientific evidence related to nurses’ burnout in intensive care units. Methods: A scoping review will be conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Relevant databases will be used as well as grey literature, where the following words will be used: burnout, nurses, intensive care units and SARS-CoV-2. Results: This scoping review will include all types of studies—quantitative, qualitative and mixed—and all types of reviews that focus on the objective of this review. Conclusions: It is vital to determine the impact of the burnout caused by the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 to assess amending measures of risk and protection factors. This will help in the implementation of guidelines according to the available evidence. Additionally, this will help to improve the skills of these professionals as well as to reduce their emotional and physical exhaustion. This protocol is registered with the Open Science Framework.
- The Burnout of Nurses in Intensive Care Units and the Impact of the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic: A Scoping ReviewPublication . Lima, Andreia; Moreira, Maria Teresa; Fernandes, Carla Sílvia; Ferreira, Maria Salomé; Ferreira, Margarida; Teixeira, Joana; Silva, Mafalda; Parola, Vítor; Coelho, AdrianaBackground: The world’s population changed with the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Burnout arises due to overwork, prolonged work periods, a lack of human and material resources, etc. Several studies have reported the incidence of burnout syndrome in nurses that work in intensive care units (ICUs). The aim was to map the scientific evidence related to nurses’ burnout in the ICU, namely the repercussions of SARS-CoV-2 in terms of burnout among nurses. Methods: A scoping review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology guidelines to search for and synthesise studies published between 2019 and 2022. The databases searched were MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, SCOPUS, PsycINFO and OPEN GREY. A total of fourteen articles were eligible to be included. Results: A content analysis of the selected articles was carried out, and three categories emerged that corresponded to the dimensions of burnout according to Maslach and Leiter: emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation dimension and a lack of personal accomplishment. It was evident that nurses who worked in the ICU during the pandemic showed high levels of burnout. Conclusions: It is recommended that hospital administrations hire health professionals, namely nurses, as a strategic and operational management strategy to reduce the risk of increased burnout during pandemic outbreaks.
- Urinary incontinence: the impact on the quality of lifePublication . Teixeira, Joana; Couto, Germano; Prata, Ana PaulaQuality of life (QoL) assessment represents an emerging focus in the health area since it use can complement clinical practice and optimize resources. Urinary incontinence is a common consequence in the oncologic pathology of the prostate that severely affects QoL.A descriptive, analytical and longitudinal study was conducted with the participation of oncological patients from the ambulatory urology department of an oncology hospital unit of the North of Portugal. The sample, obtained through convenience non-probabilistic sampling between October 2015 and July 2016, included 60 patients. The ICIQ-SF was used. The impact on QOL was classified as: zero (0), no impact; from 1 to 3, slight impact; 4 to 6, moderate; from 7 to 9, severe; and, of 10 or more, very serious. Urinary incontinence had a moderate impact on the perception of QoL of patients in M0 and M1. It was observed that as the symptoms decreased, the patients’ perception of QoL increased and M3 and M6 had a slight impact.
