The objective was to understand the process of caring for a center for cancer treatment from the perspective of nurses and patients. This is a qualitative research, xploratory and descriptive, performed in a cancer treatment center in Natal / RN / Brazil. Data collection occurred between August 2013 and February 2014, being effected by means of two techniques: photographic record and projective interviews with nurses and patients.

Referring to nurses, they demonstrated different views about care, which sprouted from a holistic, multidisciplinary approach and welcoming, as well as linked to the performance of procedures and compliance with the requirements technicality. Furthermore, these subjects also showed that care unfolds through the actions of management in carrying out the records in the humanization of care by meeting the needs of the patient and ambience. Front of patients, it is noteworthy that, for them, care happens through attitudes of caring and professional approach, and by performing procedures, being mentioned as a careless lack of structure of the institution and the discomfort caused by this condition factors. It was evident also that the actors involved in the care, the perception of professionals and patients, are represented by nurses, doctors, psychologists, nutritionists, as well as kitchen assistants and cleaners; beyond family companion, the individual himself as responsible for their care and volunteer caregiver. In this opportunity, it is concluded 9 that an understanding of care from the perspective of nurses and patients involves broad issues ranging from perceptions of care that embraces a dynamic complex elements and attitudes imbued with meanings, in which those involved can assume both the role of carers as care beings, even a carefully tied to prescribed routines and performing procedures. Thus, the findings described refer to reflections on the care provided to cancer patients and whether this, in fact, translates principles of a humane practice

Avaliação do cuidado de enfermagem na perspectiva da segurança do paciente em unidades de terapia intensiva: na visão de profissionais, pacientes e familiares

Technological advances combined with healthcare assistance bring increased risks related to patient safety, causing health institutions to be environments susceptible to losses in the provided care. Sectors of high complexity, such as Intensive Care Units have such characteristics highlighted due to being spaces designed for the care of patients in serious medical condition, when the use of advanced technological devices becomes a necessity. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess nursing care from the perspective of patient safety in intensive care units. This is an evaluative research, which combines various forms of data collection and analysis in order to conduct a deepened investigation. Data collection occurred in loco, from April to July 2014 in hospitals equipped with adult intensive care unit services. For this, a checklist instrument and semi-structured interviews conducted with patients, families, professionals were used in order to evaluate the structure-process-outcome triad. The instrument for nursing care assessment regarding Patient Safety included 97 questions related to structure and processes. Interviews provided data for outcome analysis. The selection of interviewees/participants was based on the willingness of potential participants. The following methods were used to collect data resulting from the instrument: statistical analysis of inter-rater reliability measure known as kappa (K); observations from judges resulting from the observation process; and added information obtained from the literature on the thematic. Data analysis from the interviews was carried out with IRAMUTEQ software, which used Descending Hierarchical Classification and Similarity analysis to aid in data interpretation. Research steps followed the ethical principles presented by Resolution No. 466 of December 12, 2012, and the results were presented in three manuscripts: 1) Evaluation of patient safety in Intensive Care Units: a focus on structure; 2) Health evaluation processes: a nursing care perspective on patient safety; 3) Patient safety in intensive care units: perception of nurses, family members and patients. The first article, related to the structure, refers to the use of 24 items of the employed instrument, showing that most of the findings were not aligned with the adequacy standards, which indicates poor conditions in structures offered in health services. The second article provides an analysis of the pillar of Processes, with the use of 73 items of the instrument, showing that 50 items did not meet the required standards for safe handling due to the absence of adequate scientific guidance and effective communication in nursing care process. For the third article, results indicate that intensive care units were safe places, yet urges for changes, especially in the physical structure and availability of materials and communication among professionals, patients and families. Therefore, our findings suggest that the nursing care being provided in the evaluated intensive care units contains troubling shortcomings with regards to patient safety, thereby evidencing an insecure setting for the assistance offered, in addition to a need for urgent measures to remedy the identified inadequacies with appropriate structures and implement protocols and care guidelines in order to consolidate an environment more favorable to patient safety.

A enfermagem e a promoção da qualidade de vida dos portadores de esquizofrenia: perceção dos enfermerios

A Esquizofrenia é uma doença crónica que afeta aproximadamente 1% da população mundial sendo uma das doenças mais incapacitantes da psiquiatria com um maior efeito nos indivíduos e nas suas famílias com influencia negativa sobre a qualidade de vida dos mesmos. O enfermeiro na assistência ao utente portador de esquizofrenia tem a funçao de ajudar a minimizar os sintomas e a prevenir as recaídas ajudando a ter uma vida mais adaptada a patologia, contribuindo assim, para uma melhor qualidade de vida do utente bem como das suas famílias. Neste estudo delineou-se como objetivo geral, identificar qual a percepção dos profissionais de saúde sobre a importância do enfermeiro na promoção da qualidade de vida dos portadores de esquizofrenia. Para o estudo da temática optou-se por um estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório com uma abordagem fenomenológica, sendo que o método de recolha de informações foi a entrevista. O público-alvo deste estudo foi constituído por dez (10) profissionais que trabalham na área de saúde mental, sendo cinco (5) enfermeiros e 5 (cinco) profissionais do Centro de Acolhimento do Doente Mental (CADM). Os resultados deste estudo comprovam a devida importância do enfermeiro na promoção da qualidade de vida do portador de esquizofrenia, embora constatou-se uma falta de motivação por parte dos profissionais, uma vez que nos seus discursos realçam um certo esquecimento/abandono por parte das entidades competentes, visto que estes não dão a devida importancia do que se trata numa enfermaría de crise. Nota-se ainda, que essa dificuldade em implementar os cuidados de enfermagem é também influenciada pelo fato dos enfermeiros não serem inteiramente capacitados para lidar com os portadores da esquizofrenia, devido as características dessa doença mental.

Comportamentos dos Enfermeiros Perante os Alarmes Clínicos em Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos: uma Revisão Integrativa

O presente estudo tem como propósito refletir sobre a prática de enfermagem no que concerne à temática da monitorização hemodinâmica. Pretendemos identificar a evidência empírica produzida sobre o comportamento dos enfermeiros perante os alarmes clínicos e, consequentemente, incentivar a adoção de estratégias que promovam um ambiente de cuidados intensivos menos ruidoso. Perspetivou-se um estudo de revisão sistemática da literatura. Selecionámos um conjunto de dezoito bases de dados eletrónicas, tendo recorrido a três idiomas. A colheita de informação decorreu entre dezembro de 2011 e janeiro de 2012 e, através de uma estratégia de cruzamento dos descritores selecionados, foram incluídos 5 artigos. Face a todo o corpo de discussão salientamos três categorias essenciais: opinião dos profissionais de saúde acerca dos alarmes clínicos; comportamento dos profissionais; estratégias promotoras de um ambiente menos ruidoso. Constatamos que os profissionais de saúde têm presente a bipolaridade dos alarmes clínicos e identificam limitações na sua gestão. Verificamos ainda que o comportamento dos profissionais nos estudos analisados não é linear, variando entre alterar os parâmetros no início de cada turno até ignorar uma grande maioria deles. Cientes desta realidade, os profissionais sugerem diversas estratégias passíveis de implementar, com vista a alarmes e comportamentos mais eficazes.
