Cerqueira, Carla; Reisinho, Maria Da Conceição; Carvalho Pinto, Cristina; Oliveira, Manuel Fernando; Lima, Ligia; Cruz, Márcia; Barbieri-Figueiredo, MC; Nilza Caldevilla, Maria; Marques, Paulo; Parente, Paulo; Cruz, SandraA área da saúde cativou desde sempre os jovens, pelos desafios que comporta, pela proximidade e relação com os outros, saudáveis ou doentes; e a enfermagem em particular tem-se constituído como uma opção de grande significado, valendo por isso conhecer por dentro a sua riqueza de conteúdos, o seu dinamismo, a diversidade de abordagens. Uma semana entre nós, no ambiente onde tudo começa a acontecer, proporcionar-te-á uma ideia mais concreta sobre o que é ser enfermeiro na actualidade, sem esquecer o caminho que outros percorreram, mas dando-te a possibilidade de experimentar nos contextos de prática laboratorial, práticas em domínios que vão das crianças aos adultos, recorrendo a simuladores, manequins e dispositivos utilizados no dia-a-dia destes profissionais. A evolução e as mudanças que já se fazem sentir na sociedade, abrem novas perspectivas e caminhos nesta área do saber, que estamos dispostos a ajudar-te a descobrir.
- Non-pharmacological interventions in the control of urinary incontinence and the instruments that allow the diagnosis: integrative reviewPublication . Nilza Caldevilla, Maria; Carvalho Pinto, Cristina; Cerqueira, Carla; Ramos, José; Teixeira, Leonor OlímpiaIntroduction: Urinary incontinence is a major health problem resulting in physical, psychological and social changes with economic repercussions on the health system. Is a multifactorial condition associated with age-related changes and disorders of the genitourinary system, which corroborates the fact that it is the most often recurring geriatric syndrome. Aims: To identify non-pharmacological interventions for adults with urinary incontinence and to identify tools for urinary incontinence diagnosis in adults. Method: An integrative review study design was completed. Two electronic databases was search (MEDLINE and Web of Science). Three independent reviewers searched databases according to a predetermine inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Twelve articles were included in the review. Eleven articles mentioned non-pharmacological interventions, such as physical therapies, lifestyle strategies, behavioural therapies and alternative conservative management options. These interventions should be targeted and individualized to the type of incontinence to result in health gains for the population. One article mentioned an assessment tool for urinary incontinence - The Gaudenz-Fragebogen tool. The evaluation tools can help to systematize the diagnostic activity and consequently improve the clinical practice in the field of urinary incontinence. Conclusion: In care conception, nurses should target their interventions to personal data to address individual symptoms and use assessment tools that can help in the differential diagnosis of UI. Then, to advancing the quality and rigor of nursing care, we advocate that providing nurses with skills in attaining a differential diagnosis of UI presents an added value to the improvement of quality of care in a multidisciplinary context.
