Notificação de incidentes e segurança do doente : perceção dos enfermeiros

Enquadramento: A segurança do doente é um problema internacional e uma prioridade das políticas de saúde de múltiplos organismos/instituições nacionais de saúde. Neste âmbito, surgem os sistemas de notificação de incidentes. Objetivo: Conhecer a perceção dos enfermeiros sobre a notificação de incidentes e sobre a segurança do doente. Métodos: Recorremos a uma triangulação metodológica constituída por um estudo quantitativo (estudo A) e outro qualitativo (estudo B). O estudo A é analítico, transversal, realizado com 182 enfermeiros. Os dados foram recolhidos por questionário, constituído por variáveis sociodemográficas e profissionais e escalas para avaliar doze dimensões da notificação e segurança do doente. O estudo B é exploratório, realizado com 18 enfermeiros, através de entrevista semiestruturada. Resultados: Para os enfermeiros todos os incidentes devem ser notificados, mas a frequência de notificação é baixa e diminui com a gravidade do dano, 65,0% não registou qualquer ocorrência no último ano e 82,3% desconhece o sistema de notificação. Os principais obstáculos à notificação são o receio de punição e os principais fatores facilitadores são os benefícios que advêm da notificação para o doente, a ausência de retaliações no trabalho, uma relação positiva com os superiores hierárquicos, o anonimato e a perceção de resultados da notificação. Aproximadamente 60,0% dos enfermeiros tem uma perceção geral da segurança do doente positiva. Conclusão: A perceção dos enfermeiros sobre a notificação de incidentes reflete desconhecimento da temática, elevado receio de punição, originando baixa frequência de notificação. A perceção sobre a segurança do doente é positiva. É necessário melhorar a cultura de segurança da organização e o conhecimento dos enfermeiros sobre o papel da notificação. Palavras-Chave: segurança do doente, notificação de incidentes, enfermeiros.

Farewell to the Welfare : On the role of chronic stress in lifestyle migration

While studies concerned with migration and the welfare, or migration and stress, have been focusing on either notions of a welfare-magnet or issues related to PTSDs, representing an overt research focus on migration from poorer to richer nations, none have explored the possible role of chronic stress as an underlying trigger for wishing to escape the welfare society. This study explores just this, elaborating upon the lifestyle-concept. Using the latest financial crisis as a theoretical turning point, a comparative case study was performed with Swedish migrant entrepreneurs in Costa del Sol, as compared to previously performed studies from the area. Fourteen semi-structured interviews were carried out with different actors for the purpose of triangulation. Statistics were used for an elementary understanding, in a mixed method design. Analysis was performed on macro to micro scales, providing findings in line with previous research on lifestyle-migration. New findings however include a recognition of long-term exposure to stress as an underlying trigger for wishing to escape the welfare-society, as well as the perception of the holiday-destination as the antithesis to stress making it the preferred choice for relocation. The paper concludes that if stress push people away from Sweden, it can be considered global in scope.

Validation of a food-frequency questionnaire assessment of carotenoid and vitamin E intake using weighed food records and plasma biomarkers: The method of triads model

Background: Reliability or validity studies are important for the evaluation of measurement error in dietary assessment methods. An approach to validation known as the method of triads uses triangulation techniques to calculate the validity coefficient of a food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Objective: To assess the validity of an FFQ estimates of carotenoid and vitamin E intake against serum biomarker measurements and weighed food records (WFRs), by applying the method of triads. Design: The study population was a sub-sample of adult participants in a randomised controlled trial of beta-carotene and sunscreen in the prevention of skin cancer. Dietary intake was assessed by a self-administered FFQ and a WFR. Nonfasting blood samples were collected and plasma analysed for five carotenoids (alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, lycopene) and vitamin E. Correlation coefficients were calculated between each of the dietary methods and the validity coefficient was calculated using the method of triads. The 95% confidence intervals for the validity coefficients were estimated using bootstrap sampling. Results: The validity coefficients of the FFQ were highest for alpha-carotene (0.85) and lycopene (0.62), followed by beta- carotene (0.55) and total carotenoids (0.55), while the lowest validity coefficient was for lutein (0.19). The method of triads could not be used for b- cryptoxanthin and vitamin E, as one of the three underlying correlations was negative. Conclusions: Results were similar to other studies of validity using biomarkers and the method of triads. For many dietary factors, the upper limit of the validity coefficients was less than 0.5 and therefore only strong relationships between dietary exposure and disease will be detected.
