DEVELOPMENT AND REPRODUCIBILITY OF THE INSTRUMENTO DE AVALIAÇÃO DA PROMOÇÃO DA SAÚDE NA UNIVERSIDADE - IAPSU (ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR HEALTH PROMOTION AT THE UNIVERSITY)

Objective: To present the Instrumento de Avaliação da Promoção da Saúde na Universidade – IAPSU (Assessment Tool for Health Promotion at the University) and its reproducibility assessment process. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted between May and July 2014 with 50 students from a university of Fortaleza, Ceará, which developed the IAPSU through the analysis of government documents and a systematic review of the literature on a potentially healthy university. The tool has 41 questions divided into five domains: physical activity, diet, environmental factors, psychosocial factors and alcohol and drug use, integrative and complementary practices. To assess the inter-examiner reproducibility, the students answered the IAPSU twice, applied by two different examiners; to assess the intraexaminer reproducibility, another application of the instrument was performed after seven days. Results: The study comprised 40 Nursing students and 10 Physical Therapy students, with a mean age of 25 ± 5.4 years; 88% were women and white individuals were predominant. In the reproducibility assessment, strong intraclass, intra- and inter-examiner correlation coefficients - above 0.8 - were observed in all the domains. Conclusion: The IAPSU is a reproducible and reliable instrument for assessing health promotion at the university.

Development and psychometric evaluation of the basic electrocardiogram interpretation self-efficacy scale

Purpose: Research suggests that nurses and nursing students lack competence in basic electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation. Self-efficacy is considered to be paramount in the development of one's competence. The aim of this study was to develop and psychometrically evaluate a scale to assess self-efficacy of nursing students in basic ECG interpretation. Materials and methods: Observational cross-sectional study with a convenience sample of 293 nursing students. The basic ECG interpretation self-efficacy scale (ECG-SES) was developed and psychometrically tested in terms of reliability (internal consistency and temporal stability) and validity (content, criterion and construct). The ECG-SES’ internal consistency was explored by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α); its temporal stability was investigated by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between the participants’ results on a test–retest separated by a 4-week interval. The content validity index of the items (I-CVI) and the scale (S-CVI) was calculated based on the reviews of a panel of 16 experts. Criterion validity was explored by correlating the participants’ results on the ECG-SES with their results on the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSE). 1 Construct validity was investigated by performing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and known-group analysis. Results: The excellent reliability of the ECG-SES was evidenced by its internal consistency (α = 0.98) and its temporal stability at the 4-week re-test (r = 0.81; p < 0.01). The ECG-SES’ content validity was also excellent (all items’ I-CVI = 0.94–1; S-CVI = 0.99). A strong, significant correlation between the NGSE and the ECG-SES (r = 0.70; p < 0.01) showed its criterion validity. Corroborating the ECG-SES’ construct validity, PCA revealed that all its items loaded on a single factor that explained 74.6% of the total variance found. Furthermore, known-groups analysis showed the ECG-SES’ ability to detect expected differences in self-efficacy between groups with different training experiences (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The ECG-SES showed excellent psychometric properties for measuring the self-efficacy of nursing students in basic ECG interpretation.

Certificação de idoneidade formativa do serviço de medicina interna do Hospital de São Bernardo

Na formação inicial de Enfermagem os ensinos clínicos são um momento de consolidação de saberes teóricos e simultaneamente um momento de aquisição de saberes práticos em contexto real de trabalho. Este momento de formação é supervisionado por Enfermeiros da prática clínica que assumem um importante papel no processo de formação dos estudantes de enfermagem. Para consolidar este processo de ensino/aprendizagem a Ordem dos Enfermeiros desenvolveu um extenso trabalho que visa a certificação de Enfermeiros Supervisores, em que propõe que os Licenciados em Enfermagem, realizem um período de Exercício Profissional Tutelado, acompanhados por esse mesmo Enfermeiro Supervisor. Para que esse período ocorra é necessário a convergência de dois fatores, um é a existência de um Enfermeiro Supervisor certificado pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros, outro é a certificação do serviço onde esse exercício profissional tutelado decorra, num espaço onde exista Certificação de Serviço com Idoneidade Formativa certificada pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros. Para que tal aconteça é necessário que o supervisor e o serviço cumpram os critérios preconizados pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros. Este trabalho surge com o objetivo de certificar o Serviço de Medicina Interna do Hospital de São Bernardo como unidade de saúde com Idoneidade Formativa certificada pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros para o Exercício Profissional Tutelado, naquele que é inerente ao Modelo de Desenvolvimento Profissional proposto pela Ordem dos Enfermeiros

Manual/Instruções de Trabalho para a Integração de Enfermeiros e Alunos no Programa de Saúde Infantil e Juvenil

Atualmente a melhoria da qualidade nos cuidados de saúde implica a passagem de uma prática baseada na experiência para uma baseada na evidência científica; na melhoria tendo por premissa não só o desempenho profissional, mas também os cidadãos como parceiros; de uma qualidade mono-disciplinar, para cuidados partilhados; de uma educação profissional contínua e avaliações de qualidade, para uma gestão da saúde, num contexto de melhoria contínua da qualidade. À Ordem dos Enfermeiros é imputada a defesa da qualidade dos cuidados de enfermagem à população. Cabe a cada enfermeiro, individualmente e em coletivo no contexto do seu exercício, refletir, analisar e prosseguir diariamente na procura da excelência do exercício. A gestão da qualidade parte do empenhamento dos profissionais que funcionando como um todo dentro de um núcleo específico com o objetivo de atingirem o mesmo fim, estabelecem estratégias que visem alcançar esse fim. Neste contexto surge a elaboração do Manual / Instruções de Trabalho para a integração e prestação de cuidados dos enfermeiros e alunos de enfermagem no Programa de Saúde Infantil e Juvenil na Unidade de Cuidados de Saúde Personalizados da Baixa da Banheira. Visando a melhoria da articulação, comunicação, continuidade de cuidados, entre a equipa de Enfermagem, pois só em conjunto se poderá desenvolver ações que visem a aquisição dessa qualidade e que contribuam para o desenvolvimento / harmonioso da criança / jovem e sua família.

Are adolescents/young people and their families getting the best service when being cared for by young adolescent student nurses?

The purpose of this presentation is to highlight issues that exist for student nurses who embark on a career in children's nursing at a very young age and subsequently find themselves in a situation where they are expected to deliver high quality care to young people and their families. An introductory sentence indicating the purpose of the presentation: Currently in the UK under the Making a Différence Curriculum (DOH 1999) students can enrol on a single registration programme for Children's Nursing as young as 17.5 years. Children are admitted to hospital onto the children's wards between the ages of 0-16 years (occasionally older). Using Viner's (2003) définition of adolescence as being that period between the ages of ten and twenty-five years when biopsychosocial maturation leads to functional independence in adult iife demonstrates the possibility that both the patients and the nursing students could be undergoing very similar transitional experiences. Historically, in the 1940-50's children were admitted to childrens wards between the ages of 2-12 years. Nurse education at that time tended to be undertaken for first or second level registration in the first instance, followed by post-registration training for specialist areas. Subsequently, the phenomenon of adolescent paediatric nursing students being required to care for adolescents and their families on the children's wards did not exist some 60 years ago. A brief description of the highiights of the présentation: This présentation will focus on adolescent transitions with particular reference to issues that could arise when young students are required to care for young people and their families, particularly when there is a diagnosis of self harm or substance abuse. A summary of findings and/or other relevant information: Preliminary findings have indicated that very young student nurses find caring for adolescents to be particularly challenging. Health issues pertinent to young people appear to présent particular challenges for the students which raises questions in respect of the quality of care that the young people and their families may receive. A conclusion and implications: The following need to be further explored: i) Support within the clinical areas and adequate de-briefing strategies, ii) The efficacy of single registration to children's nursing, iii) Young people and their family's perception of the quality of care they receive from very young students.

Sjuksköterskestudenters upplevelse av att hantera akuta patientsituationer : En empirisk studie

Introduktion: Sjuksköterskor förväntas ha god kunskap för att kunna hantera akuta patientsituationer. Sjuksköterskor har ett stort ansvarsområde inom sin profession och ska hantera både patienter samt anhöriga trots en akut situation. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att belysa sjuksköterskestudenters upplevelse av förberedelse inför akuta patientsituationer. Metod: En kvalitativ forskningsansats användes i studien och all data samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Deltagarna i studien valdes ut genom ett bekvämlighetsurval och totalt deltog 16 stycken sjuksköterskestudenter som studerade sista terminen av sjuksköterskeutbildningen. Data analyserades sedan genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet bestod av två huvudkategorier. Den första; En känsla av otillräcklighet som innefattade två underkategorier; En övermäktig ansvarsroll och Rädslan för att göra fel. Den andra huvudkategorin; En känsla av trygghet innefattade fyra underkategorier; Att utvecklas genom erfarenhet, Att kunna hantera en akut patientsituation, Vikten av att vara ett team och Att stärkas genom reflektion. Deltagarna upplevde sig vara oförberedda inför att hantera akuta patientsituationer men såg också fram emot utmaningen relaterat till att det blir spännande och lärorikt. Resultatet påvisade att sjuksköterskestudenter som studerade sista terminen behövde mer förberedelse inom akutsjukvård. Slutsats: Studien påvisade att det finns ett ökat behov av förberedelse inom akuta patientsituationer hos sjuksköterskestudenter. Deltagarna beskrev sjuksköterskerollen som övermäktig och behövde en ökad trygghet inom yrket relaterat till att det kunde leda till en högre vårdkvalitet i akuta patientsituationer.

Sjuksköterskestudenters upplevelse av förberedelse inför hjärtstopp : En empirisk studie

Introduktion: Årligen drabbas cirka 15 000 personer av hjärtstopp i Sverige. Sjuksköterskanhar ett stort i ansvar i omvårdnaden vid hjärtstopp. Sjuksköterskeutbildningen strävar efter attförbereda studenterna inför omvårdnad vid hjärtstopp. Syfte: Att belysasjuksköterskestudenters upplevelse av förberedelse inför att utöva omvårdnad av patienter samband med hjärtstopp. Metod: Kvalitativ design med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Undersökningsgruppen bestämdes av bekvämlighetsurval. 16 sjuksköterskestudenter i termin 6 intervjuades och data analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet avstudien visade på att informanterna kände en otrygghet i sig själva, och var osäkra inför attutföra hjärt- och lungräddning för första gången på grund av bristande erfarenhet samt för litekunskap. Informanterna upplevde dock trygghet när de hade erfarna kollegor runt omkring sigsamt när de hade upplevt en riktig hjärtstoppssituation själva. Slutsats: Utifrån studiens resultatbedöms att sjuksköterskestudenter inte känner sig trygga i sig själva och i sin förmåga att utföraadekvat S-HLR, samt inte upplever sig vara förberedda inför att hantera en hjärtstoppssituation.

Les Perceptions des Étudiants en Soins Infirmiers Pédiatriques en Milieu Communautaire

Over the last decade health care delivery has shifted from hospitals to the community resulting in a significant reduction of hospital-based clinical placements for nursing students to practice and learn. Studies have emerged describing this problem and outlining the ways in which Colleges and Universities have attempted to deal with the acute shortage of clinical areas in nursing and other health care programs. Several studies describe the development of community-based clinical experiences, and some of these examined students’ perceptions. One finding appears to be constant: student perceptions of community experiences have an effect on their learning outcomes. There is an increasing need to teach nursing students in community settings both to contend with the shortage of hospital-based placements and to prepare students for future practice. Pediatric hospitals are no longer able to provide as many clinical placements as they once did. This has created a problem for college nursing departments. Over the past five years, John Abbott College’s pediatric nursing teachers have attempted to deal with this problem in numerous ways; however, students and faculty were dissatisfied with the solutions as there was a lack of development of the pediatric community clinical component. The purpose of this study is to explore nursing students’ perceptions of pediatric community experiences both prior to the start of the clinical rotation and following the experience. Student perceptions of nursing in community settings are an important element in the level of student satisfaction and ultimately their learning in pediatric clinical settings. In order to explore the John Abbott College’s nursing students’ perceptions, data was collected from a small segment of the population. Students’ perceptions were explored quantitatively through the use of questionnaires using a Likert scale administered both prior to the clinical experience and following the experience; and qualitatively, using content analysis of reflective journals and focus group discussions. The results of the study demonstrated that prior to the community rotations; students did not know what the experience would involve. They felt apprehensive due to being inadequately prepared for the experience and questioned the actual learning they would acquire from a community setting. Following the pediatric community experience, students perceived benefits to their learning particularly in the development of their abilities to communicate with children, and to recognize and apply principles of growth and development to children of different age groups and with different health needs. In addition, students perceived an increase in their self- confidence when teaching children. They also developed an appreciation of the role of the nurse in health promotion for individuals’ in community settings. Furthermore, students described an increase in their awareness of resources that are available in the community. Overall, students were satisfied with their pediatric community clinical experience. The results of this study indicate that adequate student preparation is required prior to the community clinical experience. This preparation would include a clear description of the clinical objectives and associated learning activities, as well as an explicit explanation of the evaluation process. Finally, it is recommended that the pediatric nursing teachers continue to search for community clinical areas that can enhance student learning in pediatrics. This study contributes to the literature on community experiences for nursing students since it explored students’ perceptions before and after the community clinical rotation.
