A crescente camada de população idosa que reside em Trás-os-Montes e no Douro e a prevalência de doenças crónicas e incapacitantes, conduz ao aumento do número de pessoas dependentes de cuidados, assim como de uma terceira pessoa que auxilie na satisfação das suas atividades de vida diária. A criação da Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados é uma mais-valia constituindo uma resposta adequada a pessoas que se encontram em situação de dependência, assim como aos seus familiares. Face à antevisão de alta da unidade e consequente regresso a casa, o cuidador familiar é, por vezes, assoberbado com múltiplas dúvidas e inseguranças, pelo que, merecem ser compreendidos. Com o objetivo de compreender vivências, sentimentos e expetativas que caraterizam o período que rodeia a alta do familiar da Unidade de Cuidados Continuados onde esteve internado desenvolveu-se o presente estudo que, face ao tipo de problemática a estudar, fez recurso da metodologia qualitativa, enveredando-se pela abordagem fenomenológica. Com base num guião de entrevista, inquiriram-se sete cuidadores informais que tinham, ou tiveram anteriormente, familiares internados numa Unidade de Cuidados Continuados. Perante a eminência da alta os cuidadores informais vivenciam um momento difícil que requer adaptação ao seu novo papel. A prestação de cuidados é uma tarefa exigente, contribuindo para uma ambivalência de sentimentos mencionada pelos participantes do estudo. Os sentimentos positivos traduzem-se em amor e gratificação, enquanto os sentimentos negativos estão relacionados com o medo, ansiedade e insegurança, face ao ato de cuidar. As redes de apoio informal/formal, manifestadas por apoio técnico, psicológico, financeiro e a necessidade de formação são fatores fundamentais, revelados pelos cuidadores informais do estudo. As expetativas referidas pelos participantes do estudo face às Unidades de Cuidados Continuados são: a adequação dos cuidados à situação da pessoa, promoção da autonomia e a humanização dos cuidados em saúde.

Background: Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) occurs in response to an antibody-mediated central nervous system disease and can lead to significant neurodisability. Prior research on family adjustment has described a reciprocal relationship between caregiver functioning, distress and clinical outcome in parents and children with encephalitis. There has been no previous research exploring the experiences of caregivers with a child with AE. Aims: To explore the perspectives of parents and/or caregivers with a child diagnosed with AE regarding (i) their own adjustment from hospital admission to post-discharge, and (ii) their experiences of care and service provision. Methods: A purposive sampling approach was used. Five parents of children with AE participated in a semi-structured interview exploring their experiences of caring for their child and service provision during acute care and post-discharge. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the transcripts. Main findings and conclusions: Four shared super-ordinate themes with related subthemes emerged: (a) uncertainty, (b) managing our recovery, (c) changes in my child, (d) experiences of service provision. Participants reported emotional distress, often underpinned by recurrent experiences of uncertainty, and ‘loss’ of the previous child, and mediated by coping strategies and social support. While an overall positive experience of inpatient services was reported, parents often perceived post-discharge services as lacking in co-ordination, communication and formal follow-up, resulting in unmet support needs. Implications and recommendations for services, practitioners and future research are discussed.

Background: An extensive research literature has documented the impact of caring for an individual with acquired brain injury (ABI) on caregivers and family members, including role adjustment, psychological distress, social isolation, family tension and coping with the cognitive and behavioural difficulties of the injured person. Given these findings it is important this population have access to services and supports. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an intervention that helps individuals to accept difficult experiences and commit to behaviour that is consistent with their values. Research into the effectiveness of ACT to support caregivers is at a preliminary stage. Aim: To investigate the feasibility of using ACT to reduce psychological distress and increase psychological flexibility in ABI caregivers. A secondary aim was to gain an understanding of the experience of caregivers in this context and how this can inform the development and delivery of interventions for this population. Method: Phase one was a randomised controlled feasibility trial of an ACT intervention for use with ABI caregivers. The parameters of this study were formulated around the PICO (population, intervention, control, and outcome) framework. Eighteen carers were recruited and randomised to ACT or an enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU) group. ACT was implemented over 3 sessions; and ETAU was implemented over 2 sessions. The General Health Questionnaire, Valuing Questionnaire, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Experiential Avoidance of Caregiving Questionnaire and the Flexibility of Responses to Self-Critical Thoughts Scale were administered to both groups at baseline and following the final session. Phase two used a retrospective qualitative design that involved conducting semi-structured interviews with four participants from phase one. Results: ACT and control participants were successfully recruited. Positive feedback was obtained from ACT participants suggesting that the intervention was acceptable. There were no significant differences between the ACT and ETAU groups on outcome measures. However, there were challenges retaining participants and the overall attrition rate was high (44.44%). Therefore a number of participants did not complete the full complement of sessions, which may have impacted on this result. Qualitative results illustrated the challenges this population face including significant adjustments in their life, the emotional impact of having a loved one with a brain injury and trying to adapt to the changes in the injured person. In addition, findings elucidated the types of support that this population would find helpful and the barriers to accessing same. Conclusions: Findings from this study highlight factors that will help the development of this intervention further for a caring population. Recommendations for future implementation include completing some preparatory work with carers before beginning the intervention, consideration of a larger sample and wider recruitment strategy from local services, barriers to attending interventions and the possibility of holding groups in local venues.

We take for granted that we exist in dimensions of time and space. We accept that time passes and that space extends as a matter of course. Just as our personal space is important to us, so is time of our own. The individual is capable of developing a variety of time perspectives or orientations, each applicable to a different aspect of life, for instance, home, leisure, economic, political and organisational. Our temporal perspective influences a wide range of psychological processes, from motivation, emotions and spontaneity to risk-taking creativity and problem-solving. Our temporal landscapes are made up of recognisable domains, with permeable borders – private time and public time, home time and work time, past, present and future time, cyclical time. Just as a geography of space contains recognisable natural features – rivers, deserts, mountains – and features created by human beings – canals, roads, skyscrapers – so our temporal landscape contains natural features – day and night, the seasons – and features created by us – the ordering of social, economic, legal, and organisational time into, among others, the practices of family life, financial periods, prison sentences and workloads. This paper views the temporal landscapes of night nurses, and is based on longitudinal ethnographic research. It highlights areas such as shift work, workload, and the temporal aspects of caring. The result is the production of a map, albeit a rough one, of the temporal landscape inhabited by night nurses as they go about their working lives.

A análise do trabalho a que nos propusemos transforma as operações da ação analisada não em instrumento de referência para reproduzilas ou corrigilas, mas sim em instrumento de descoberta de alternativas diversas a partir das quais a ação se constrói. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho é verificar as táticas utilizadas pelos agentes de contatopaciente no atendimento de internação em um hospital, no intuito de avaliar o distanciamento entre o trabalho prescrito e o trabalho efetivamente real. Para tanto, utilizouse a entrevista de explicitação como metodologia qualitativa. Também foi analisado o processo de atendimento ao paciente, identificandose tarefas, ações e recursos para obterse melhoria nos resultados com vistas na satisfação do cliente. As táticas específicas de contatocliente foram classificadas em três categorias, baseadas numa tipologia de cliente. A primeira consiste em alterar as demandas que recaem sobre o agente de contatopaciente; a segunda, em tentar impedir os remetentes de dirigir demandas ao agente de contatopaciente; e a terceira em evitar e incluir táticas que permitem ao agente manipular e alterar as demandas recebidas. Nesse sentido, nove táticas foram identificadas.

Ser enfermeiro supõe lidar com a ciência do cuidar. Porém, cada vez mais existe a preocupação de que estes profissionais igualmente devem ser cuidados. A qualidade de vida no trabalho deve ser transversal a todas as profissões e todos os trabalhadores, incluindo o assegurar da saúde, segurança e higiene no trabalho, assim como o bom relacionamento entre os colegas, um óptimo ambiente de trabalho e a prevenção de riscos psicossociais; para que a qualidade de vida no trabalho ocorra no seio laboral, a organização deve ter como objectivo a realização pessoal dos trabalhadores na sua profissão. Intrínseca a esta qualidade de vida, a motivação assume um papel preponderante na tomada de decisão dos trabalhadores, e, em particular, nos enfermeiros - existe o impulso que leva as pessoas a desempenharem determinadas actividades, atitudes ou funções. Neste âmbito, foi desenvolvido um estudo que englobou a população de enfermeiros do Hospital do Espírito Santo de Évora, apresentando como objectivo principal a verificação da motivação como variável determinante da qualidade de vida no trabalho desses mesmos profissionais. Foi efectuado um estudo de caso, recorrendo-se a uma metodologia mista para a validação ou não das hipóteses, estabelecendo-se a investigação num método não-experimental. Com este estudo pretende-se criar um instrumento de apoio aos órgãos de gestão do hospital mencionado, assim como às instituições influentes da zona de Évora. ABSTRACT: Being a nurse involves dealing with the science of caring. However, increasingly there is a concern that these professionals also should be well-taken care of. The quality of working life must be transversal to all the professions and all the workers, including assuring health, security and hygiene at work, as well as the good relationship between the colleagues, an excellent working environment and prevention of psychosocial risks; so that the quality of working life occurs within the workplace, the organization must have as its objective the fulfillment of workers in their profession. Intrinsic to this quality of life, motivation assumes a preponderant role in the decision­ making of the workers, and, in particular the nurses- the impulse exists to lead people to perform certain acts, attitudes or functions. ln this context, it was developed a study that involved the nurses in the Hospital do Espírito Santo de Évora E.P.E., presenting as its main objective the verification of motivation as a variable determining the quality of working life of these same professionals. We used a case study, involving a mixed methodology to validate or not the hypotheses, consequentially a non-experimental method in this research. With this research it is intended to create an instrument to support the management of the hospital in study, as well as the influential institutions in the area of Évora.

Produced water is the main effluent linked to the activity of extraction of oil and their caring management is necessary due to the large volume involved, to ensure to minimize the negative impacts of discharges of these waters in the environment. This study aimed to analyze the use of retorted shale, which is a reject from the pyrolysis of pirobituminous shale, as adsorbent for the removal of phenols in produced water. The material was characterized by different techniques (grain sized analysis, thermal analysis, BET, FRX, FT-IR, XRD and SEM), showing the heterogeneity in their composition, showing its potential for the removal of varied compounds, as well as the phenols and their derivatives. For the analysis of the efficiency of the oil shale for the adsorption process, assays of adsorption balance were carried through, and also kinetic studies and dynamics adsorption, in the ETE of the UTPF of Petrobras, in Guamaré-RN. The balance assays shown a bigger conformity with the model of Langmuir and the kinetic model more adjusted to describe the adsorption of phenols in retorted shale was of pseudo-second order. The retorted shale presented a low capacity of adsorption of phenols (1,3mg/g), when related to others conventional adsorbents, however it is enough to the removal of these composites in concentrations presented in the produced water of the UTPF of Guamaré. The assays of dynamics adsorption in field had shown that the concentration of phenol in the effluent was null until reaching its rupture (58 hours). The results showed the possibility of use of the reject for removal of phenols in the final operations of the treatment process, removing as well, satisfactorily, the color and turbidity of the produced water, with more than 90% of removal

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.

La pratique infirmière en contexte de parentalité précoce et de vulnérabilité sociale auprès de mères âgées de moins de 20 ans et leurs bébés comporte des défis pour les infirmières qui éprouvent des difficultés à établir des liens avec les jeunes pères. Leur pratique d’accompagnement est orientée principalement vers la dyade mère-enfant, tandis qu’elles se sentent peu outillées pour accompagner les jeunes pères dans leur rôle paternel. Des études récentes suggèrent de considérer le genre dans la compréhension de l’espace relationnel entre des pères et des infirmières, notamment dans des services de première ligne. Cette étude a pour but de décrire, selon une perspective sensible au genre, les représentations identitaires qui configurent la relation d’accompagnement entre des jeunes pères et des infirmières dans le cadre des Services intégrés en périnatalité et pour la petite enfance (SIPPE). Partant d’une recherche évaluative multicentrique du Programme de soutien aux jeunes parents (PSJP) des SIPPE, cette recherche qualitative interprétative présente une analyse secondaire de 34 entretiens semi-dirigés complétés auprès de jeunes pères et d’infirmières. L’analyse croisée du discours des participants et la modélisation systémique ont permis de représenter des conceptions identitaires et des dynamiques contextuelles qui composent la relation d’accompagnement entre des jeunes pères et des infirmières dans le PSJP/SIPPE. Cette relation prend principalement forme autour de l’échange d’informations axées sur les soins de l’enfant. De plus, elle est marquée par des représentations différenciées de l’identité parentale du jeune père (père présent et soignant vs père peu compétent), de son engagement dans les responsabilités afférentes à son rôle et par une dynamique de vigie-surveillance exercée par les infirmières. Cette relation peut se transformer à travers le temps, où le père conçu responsable et protecteur devient un allié pour l’infirmière, tout en demeurant sous surveillance. Parmi les contributions de cette recherche, nous signalons l’importance du soutien émotionnel en plus du soutien informationnel pour les pères qu’il importe de considérer à part entière dans l’accompagnement auprès de familles vivant en situation de vulnérabilité sociale. Enfin, cette recherche souligne la pertinence d’une perspective sensible au genre pour concevoir l’espace relationnel du soin et développer la pratique infirmière d’accompagnement.
