Nurse-patient communication while performing home dialysis: The patients' perceptions

This study aimed at describing patients' perception of their communication with nurses when performing home dialysis. Data were collected from interviews guided by the question: What is communication like, between you and nurses, during home dialysis treatment? Results show participants' perception of treatment during home peritoneal dialysis [Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)]; relationship with nurses and family and the effects of treatment on one's existence. Patients can be self-caring and they learn to value the autonomy in their own care. However, some are unable to assume the responsibility for self-care. It was discovered that the connotation of inspection that some participants attributed to the nurse's visits, led to an alienation from the education process in the CAPD education. Findings suggest that effective communication and the development of the relationship of a working partnership with patients is crucial. Improvement in the nurses' communication, aiming at adapting it to the characteristics, limitations and specific needs of each patient, is significant for achieving better outcomes. © 2010 European Dialysis and Transplant Nurses Association/European Renal Care Association.

Introdução a ontologias e suas aplicações

Different vocabularies and contexts are barriers to the communication between people or software systems. It is necessary a common understanding in the domain that is talked about, so it can be obtained a correct interpretation of the information. An ontology formally models the structure of a domain and turn explicit the shared understanding in the form of concepts and relations that emerge from its observation. Constitutes a sort of framework used in the mapping to the meaning of the information that is talked about. The formal accuracy in which they are defined, by means of axioms, allow machine processing, implicating in systems interoperability. Structured this way, the knowledge is easily transferred between people or systems from different contexts. Ontologies present several applications nowadays. They are considered the infra-structure to the Semantic Web, which is composed by Web resources with embedded meaning. Thereby, the automatic execution of complex tasks is allowed, with the benefit from the effective communication between Web software agents. Among other applications, they also have been used to structure the knowledge generated from several areas, like Biology and Software Engineering.
