  • Neuman Systems Model in perioperative nursing care for adolescents with juvenile idiopathic scoliosis
    Publication . Pestana-Santos, Márcia; Reis Santos, Margarida; Cabral, Ivone Evangelista; Sousa, Paula Cristina; Lomba, Maria de Lurdes Lopes de Freitas
    Objective: To implement the nursing process, based on the Neuman Systems Model and the International Classification of Nursing Practice terminology, in the care of an adolescent who underwent corrective surgery for juvenile idiopathic scoliosis. Method: This is a qualitative study of the type of single case, with triangulation of data collection techniques (formal clinical interview, notes in a field diary and medical record information), developed with a 17-year-old adolescent and indication for corrective surgery. The empirical materials generated with the interviews carried out at admission and at discharge, observation and medical record information were treated with categorical content analysis. Results: The categories of personal condition, anxiety, selfconcept, meaningful people, facilitating health resources, school, free time and leisure were recurrent. Diagnoses were defined with a focus on Anxiety, Knowledge on pain management (control) and Willingness (or readiness) to learn, associating them with the respective nursing interventions. Conclusion: The Model contributed to assess and recognize surgery stressors for the adolescent and to theoretically base the nursing process. The classification allowed systematizing nursing care records, elements of clinical practice, unifying vocabulary and codes.

Gomes, João; Sousa, P.; Pereira, Filipe Miguel Soares; Queirós, Carmen; Neves, Hugo; Silva, Catarina; Silva, Abel; Parente, Paulo; Sousa, Paula Cristina; Brito, Alice; Silva, Maria Antónia; Morais, Ernesto; Cardoso, Alexandrina; Cruz, Inês; Machado, Natália; Oliveira, Manuel Fernando; Bastos, Fernanda; Prata, Ana Paula; Sequeira, Carlos
    Objective: This review aims to continuously map the nursing knowledge on skin ulcer healing in any context of care. Introduction: Chronic wounds are an increasing concern for society and health care providers. Pressure ulcers and venous ulcers, among others, have devastating effects on morbidity and quality of life and require a systematic approach. The nursing process is an important method that allows a better organization and overall care quality for a systematic and continuous professional approach to nursing management of skin ulcers. The integration of this nursing knowledge in informatics systems creates an opportunity to embed decision-support models in clinical activity, promoting evidence-based practice. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider articles on nursing data, diagnosis, interventions, and outcomes focused on people with skin ulcers in all contexts of care. This review will include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods study designs as well as systematic reviews and dissertations. Methods: JBI’s scoping review guidance, as well as the Cochrane Collaboration’s guidance on living reviews, will be followed to meet the review’s objective. Screening of new literature will be performed regularly, with the review updated according to new findings. The search strategy will map published and unpublished studies. The databases to be searched include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, JBI Evidence Synthesis, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PEDro. Searches for unpublished studies will include OpenGrey and Reposito´ rios Cientı´ficos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal. Studies published in English and Portuguese since 2010 will be considered for inclusion.
  • Nursing knowledge of people with paresis of voluntary muscles: a living scoping review protocol
    Publication . Neves, Hugo; Parente, Paulo; Gomes, João; Queirós, Carmen; Sousa, Joana; Parola, Vítor; Sousa, Paula Cristina; Brito, Alice; Silva, Maria Antónia; Morais, Ernesto; Cardoso, Alexandrina; Cruz, Inês; Machado, Natália; Oliveira, Manuel Fernando; Bastos, Fernanda; Pereira, Filipe Miguel Soares; Prata, Ana Paula; Silva, Abel; Sequeira, Carlos; Sousa, P.
    Objective: This review aims to continuously map the nursing knowledge about people with paresis of voluntary muscles in any context of care. Introduction: Muscle paresis is a condition that significantly impacts quality of life. Nurses have a crucial role in managing this condition, particularly paresis of voluntary movement muscles. However, nursing knowledge about patients with paresis of voluntary muscles is dispersed, hampering the integration of evidence within the structure of information systems. Mapping how the nursing process components are identified is the first step in creating a Nursing Clinical Information Model for this condition, capable of integrating evidence into information systems. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider studies focusing on the nursing process regarding people with paresis of voluntary muscles in all care contexts. The review will include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods study designs, systematic reviews, clinical guidelines, dissertations, and theses. Methods: The review process will follow JBI's scoping review guidance, as well as the Cochrane Collaboration's guidance on living reviews. Screening of new literature will be performed regularly, with the review being updated according to new findings. The search strategy will map published and unpublished studies. The databases to be searched will include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, JBI Evidence Synthesis, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Searches for unpublished studies will include OpenGrey and Repositorios Cientificos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal. Studies published in English and Portuguese from 1975 will be considered for inclusion.

  • O exercício parental durante a hospitalização do filho: modelo de intencionalidades terapêuticas de enfermagem face à parceria de cuidados
    Publication . Sousa, Paula Cristina; Paiva, Abel; Pereira, Filipe Miguel Soares; Parente, Paulo; Sousa, P.
    Introdução: A parentalidade pode ser entendida como o assumir das responsabilidades de ser pai de uma criança durante o seu desenvolvimento. Isso implica um papel ativo e eficaz em que os pais se sentem ligados à criança e possuem o conhecimento e as habilidades para enfrentar os desafios. Por vezes, a condição de saúde da criança requer um episódio de hospitalização. Viver a experiência de ter um filho internado muitas vezes é difícil e complexo. A atitude dos pais ao lidar com a hospitalização do filho depende das características pessoais do filho, dos pais e dos enfermeiros. Nessa situação, a atitude dos pais depende também do tipo de ajuda que recebem da enfermagem e do estado de saúde da criança. Nos serviços de pediatria, estabelecer parceria de cuidados entre enfermeiros e pais é o melhor caminho para alcançar melhores resultados. Nos dias atuais, pais e enfermeiros necessitam de parceria de cuidados e os seus benefícios são bem evidenciados pela literatura existente. Objetivos: Identificar as intencionalidades terapêuticas dos enfermeiros quando promovem a parceria de cuidados com os pais durante a hospitalização da criança. Materiais e método: Investigação-ação envolvendo enfermeiros do serviço de internamento de pediatria do Hospital Pedro Hispano e pais de crianças hospitalizadas nesse serviço, utilizando-se questionários, análise documental, entrevistas e observação participante. Resultados: Emergiram sete tipos de intenções dos enfermeiros: (1) Promoção da participação dos pais nos cuidados do tipo desenvolvimental (cuidados habituais); (2) Promoção de competências parentais para prestar cuidados complexos; (3) Promoção de participação dos pais nos cuidados complexos quando as competências parentais foram avaliadas como eficazes; (4) Melhoria no desempenho dos pais para realizar os cuidados complexos quando um potencial de valorização de competências dos pais para realizar os cuidados complexos foi identificado; (5) Redução do nível de desgaste associado ao papel parental em pais de crianças com necessidades especiais permanentes, facilitando, durante a hospitalização, o descanso no exercício do papel; (6) Preparação dos pais para prestar cuidados complexos; (7) Preparação dos pais para promover a autonomia da criança. Conclusões: Na prática de enfermagem em pediatria e na literatura, o conceito de parceria de cuidados está amplamente difundido. Contudo, é precisa mais pesquisa para descobrir as intenções dos enfermeiros por trás dos planos de cuidados envolvendo a parceria dos pais. Esta investigação contribui para esclarecer as principais intencionalidades terapêuticas dos enfermeiros, ao promover a parceria de cuidados com os pais durante a hospitalização da criança.
  • Effectiveness of Nonpharmacological Interventions in the Field of Ventilation: An Umbrella Review
    Publication . Reis, Neuza; Gaspar, Luis; Paiva, Abel; Sousa, Paula Cristina; Machado, Natália
    This umbrella review aimed to determine the effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions in pulmonary ventilation and their impact on respiratory function. An individual with impaired ventilation displays visible variations manifested in their respiratory frequency, breathing rhythm ratio (I:E), thoracic symmetry, use of accessory muscles, dyspnea (feeling short of breath), oxygen saturation, diaphragm mobility, minute ventilation, peak flow, walking test, spirometry, Pimax/Pemax, diffusion, and respiratory muscle strength. Any variation in these markers demands the need for interventions in order to duly manage the signs and symptoms and to improve ventilation. Method: Systematic reviews of the literature published in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese were used, which included studies in which nonpharmacological interventions were used as a response to impaired ventilation in adults in any given context of the clinical practice. The recommendations given by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for umbrella reviews were followed. This research took place in several databases such as MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete, CINHAL, MedicLatina, ERIC, Cochrane Reviews (Embase), and PubMed. The Joanna Briggs critical analysis verification list was used for the systematic review. The data extraction was performed independently by two investigators based on the data extraction tools of the Joanna Briggs Institute, and the data were presented in a summary table alongside the support text. Results: Forty-four systematic reviews, thirty randomized clinical essays, and fourteen observational studies were included in this review. The number of participants varied between n = 103 and n = 13,370. Fifteen systematic revisions evaluated the effect of isolated respiratory muscular training; six systematic revisions evaluated, in isolation, breathing control (relaxed breathing, pursed-lip breathing, and diaphragmatic breathing exercises) and thoracic expansion exercises; and one systematic review evaluated, in isolation, the positions that optimize ventilation. Nineteen systematic reviews with combined interventions that reinforced the role of education and capacitation while also aiming for their success were considered. The articles analyzed isolated interventions and presented their efficacy. The interventions based on respiratory exercises and respiratory muscular training were the most common, and one article mentioned the efficacy of positioning in the compromisation of ventilation. Combined interventions in which the educational component was included were found to be effective in improving pulmonary function, diffusion, oxygenation, and functional capacity. The outcomes used in each study were variable, leading to a more difficult analysis of the data. Conclusions: The interventions that were the focus of the review were duly mapped. The results suggest that nonpharmacological interventions used to optimize ventilation are effective, with a moderate to high level of evidence. There is a strong foundation for the use of the chosen interventions. The lack of studies on the intervention of “positioning to optimize ventilation” points out the need for a deeper analysis of its effects and for studies with a clear focus. This study supports the decisions and recommendations for the prescription of these interventions to patients with impaired ventilation.

  • Strategy nursing in children with compromised ventilation: Umbrella review
    Publication . Reis, Neuza; Gaspar, Luís Jorge; Paiva, Abel; Pereira, Filipe Miguel Soares; Sousa, Paula Cristina; Machado, Natália
    Problem: Changes in the ventilation demand nursing interventions duly adapted to the management of said impairment and to the adaptability of the child/parents. This revision aimed to investigate the evidence behind the interventions performed on children with impaired ventilation.’ Eligibility criteria: Systematic reviews of literature in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese from studies on nursing interventions related to children with impaired ventilation in all contexts of the clinical practice. The Joanna Briggs Institute recommendations were followed. Sample: We conducted a comprehensive search as of January 2022 and updated as of June 2023. The following electronic databases were searched: SCOPUS, Web of Science, Joanna Briggs Institute Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports, MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL (via EBSCO), MedicLatina (via EBSCO), The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (via EBSCO), and Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE). Nineteen articles published between 2012 and 2022 were included in this review. Results: Nineteen studies investigated the efficacy of respiratory exercises (Breathing Control - relaxed breathing, pursed lip breathing, Diaphragmatic breathing exercises, respiratory expansion exercise - deep breathing exercise, thoracic expansion exercises (with device), exercises for respiratory muscle strengthening and position to optimize ventilation. In the majority of the studies, it was not possible to evaluate the interventions separately. Thirteen studies evidenced the efficacy of respiratory exercises, BIPAP, and oxygen therapy. Seven articles demonstrated the effectiveness of respiratory muscle-strengthening exercises, and only three mentioned the efficacy of positioning regarding impaired ventilation. Interventions based on respiratory exercises and respiratory muscle training were the most common ones. Conclusions: The results suggest that nursing interventions to optimize ventilation are efficient. Nevertheless, the same present a low to moderate evidence degree, justified by the population characteristics (small and heterogeneous). Implications: There is proof of evidence for the studied interventions. However, the lack of methodological robustness points to future research to duly describe interventions, data, and comparable results, using reliable samples in which the focus of the study is clear.
