  • Enfermagem baseada em evidência: atitudes, barreiras e práticas entre contextos de cuidados
    Publication . Peixoto, Maria José; Pereira, Rui; Martins, Alice; Martins, Teresa; Barbieri, MC
    Enquadramento: Têm-se demonstrado uma série de barreiras à prática baseada na evidência (PBE) no entanto a maioria das investigações foram realizadas exclusivamente em ambientes de cuidados diferenciados/ hospitalares. Objetivos: identificar barreiras à PBE entre contextos de cuidados e descrever as atitudes/práticas dos enfermeiros em relação à PBE. Método: estudo transversal, incluindo enfermeiros do hospital e dos cuidados de saúde primários. A colheita de dados decorreu entre dezembro de 2010 e julho de 2012. Aplicou-se a uma amostra de conveniência o “Questionário de Atitudes face à Prática Baseada em Evidência”, sendo a taxa de resposta de 70,7% (n=244). Resultados: os enfermeiros demonstraram ser positivo apoiar as práticas com base em investigação, acreditando que isto trará um melhor desenvolvimento para a profissão. Ao compararmos contextos verificou-se a existência de facilitadores cuja média é maior em contexto hospitalar e de dificultadores com médias superiores no contexto dos cuidados de saúde primários. Conclusão: constata-se a necessidade de suporte adicional na adoção da PBE sendo para tal essencial dinamizar uma política integrada de investigação clínica.

  • Psychometric Properties of the Portuguese Version of the Iceland-Family Perceived Support Questionnaire in Parents of Children and Adolescents with Chronic Condition
    Publication . Lemos, Sara; Andrade, Luísa; Barbieri-Figueiredo, MC; Martins, Teresa; Lima, Ligia
    Abstract: The support from nurses perceived by family members of children with chronic conditions has been shown to be a protective factor at different levels in a family’s health. As such, nurses need to have instruments that assess this perception to increase the quality of the care provided to those families. This methodological study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Portuguese translation of the Iceland-Family Perceived Support Questionnaire (ICE-FPSQ) in parents of children/adolescents with chronic conditions. The ICE-FPSQ was administered to 237 parents recruited from the day hospital and outpatient services of four hospitals in Northern Portugal. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients for the Total Scale, Cognitive Support, and Emotional Support subscales were excellent (α = 0.96, α = 0.93, α = 0.96, respectively). Reasonable fit indexes were found by confirmatory factor analysis (χ 2/df = 2.799; CFI = 0.960; PCFI = 0.791, and RMSEA = 0.087), indicating a good model fit to the original structure. The ICE-FPSQ is a valid and reliable instrument to measure perceived support.
  • Psychometric properties of the European Portuguese version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ family impact module
    Publication . Lima, Ligia; Lemos, Sara; Barbieri-Figueiredo, M. C.; Martins, Teresa; Andrade, Luísa
    Purpose This study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the European Portuguese version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Family Impact Module in parents of children/adolescents with chronic health conditions. Design and Methods The European Portuguese version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Family Impact Module was administered to 237 parents of children/adolescents with chronic disease and/or chronic disorder. Participants were recruited from the day hospital and/or outpatient services of four hospitals in Northern Portugal, the majority being mothers (87.3%) aged between 31 and 50 years (86.9%). The questionnaire was administered online through the REDCap platform. The hierarchical factor model of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Family Impact Module proposed by Varni and colleagues was tested. Results Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated good model fit, with the following indices (χ2/gL = 2.19; comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.90; root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.07 immune cell [IC] 90% = 0.06−0.07). Internal consistency values were high (parent quality of life subtotal, α = .96; family functioning subtotal, α = .92; total score, α = .96). Practice Implications The European Portuguese version of the PedsQL™ FIM is a reliable and valid measurement tool for nurses to assess the impact of the child/adolescent chronic conditions on family's quality of life and to develop interventions to improve their well-being.
