Análise das subescalas de Braden como indicativos de risco para úlcera por pressão

Cross-sectional study that aimed to identify subscales scores that evaluate the risk for pressure ulcer in the implementation of the Braden Scale, and associate them with reasons for hospitalization, comorbidities and demographic characteristics of the hospitalized adult patients. The sample consisted of 187 patients at risk for pressure ulcer with a total score ≤13 on that scale. Data were collected retrospectively in the sheets with the Braden Scale and medical records, analyzed by descriptive statistics and tests of Mann-Whitney and Spearman. The results showed majority of women and elderly with cerebral, pulmonary, cardiovascular, metabolic and cancer diseases. The scores verified by the subscales indicated bedfast patients with limited mobility and activity. The altered nutrition was also an important factor, followed by the problems of friction and/or shearing, alteration of sensory perception and moisture. These findings allow us to support the prevention qualification of pressure ulcer. DESCRIPTORS: Pressure ulcer. Nursing care.

Laser therapy in pressure ulcers: evaluation by the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing and Nursing Outcomes Classification

OBJECTIVE To describe the pressure ulcer healing process in critically ill patients treated with conventional dressing therapy plus low-intensity laser therapy evaluated by the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) and the result of Wound Healing: Secondary Intention, according to the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). METHOD Case report study according to nursing process conducted with an Intensive Care Unit patient. Data were collected with an instrument containing the PUSH and the result of the NOC. In the analysis we used descriptive statistics, considering the scores obtained on the instrument. RESULTS A reduction in the size of lesions of 7cm to 1.5cm of length and 6cm to 1.1cm width, in addition to the increase of epithelial tissue and granulation, decreased secretion and odor. CONCLUSION There was improvement in the healing process of the lesion treated with adjuvant therapy and the use of NOC allowed a more detailed and accurate assessment than the PUSH.

Outpatient nursing consultation and nursing diagnoses related to demographic and clinical characteristics

Trata-se de um estudo que verificou a relacao entre as caracteristicas demograficas e clinicas com os diagnosticos de enfermagem definidos durante a consulta com enfermeira em ambulatorio de um hospital geral. E um estudo transversal que avaliou 237 consultas de enfermagem de pacientes atendidos no Programa de Saude da Mulher (46 em enfermagem obstetrica e 24 em enfermagem em mastologia) e 167 no Programa de Educacao em Diabetes Melito. Foram identificados 49 diagnosticos de enfermagem. Os mais frequentes no programa de saude da mulher foram: Conhecimento deficiente, Conforto prejudicado, Integridade tissular prejudicada e Ansiedade; no programa de educacao em diabetes: Controle ineficaz do regime terapeutico e Nutricao desequilibrada: mais do que as necessidades corporais. Foi encontrada associacao significativa entre os diagnosticos mais frequentes com determinadas caracteristicas demograficas e clinicas. Os resultados confirmaram que a identificacao dos diagnosticos de enfermagem durante a consulta pode propiciar acuracia nos focos de cuidado ambulatorial.This study was aimed at verifyjing the relationship between demographic and clinicalfeatures and nursing diagnoses established during a nurse consultation in a general hospital. This is a cross-sectional study that assessed 237 nursing consultations of patients in two different programs Womens Health (46 in obstetrical nursing and 24 in mastology nursing) and 167 in diabetes mellitus education. A total of 49 nursing diagnoses were identified. The most frequent in the womens health program were: knowledge deficit, impaired comfort, impaired tissue, integrity and anxiety; in the program of diabetes education were: ineffective therapeutic regimen management, and imbalanced nutrition: more than body requirements. There was a significant association between the most common diagnoses with certain demographic and clinical features. The results confirmed that the identification of the nursing diagnoses during the consultation may provide accuracy in the focus of outpatient care.
