CONTRIBUIÇÕES DOS PROFISSIONAIS DE ENFERMAGEM PARA A SEGURANÇA DO PACIENTE

  This study aims to describe the contributions of nursing professionals to patient safety. This was structured based on an integrative literature review. The data collection was carried out between May 5th and June 10th, 2024 in the LILACS and SCIELO databases. To search for studies, the following descriptors were used: “patient safety” AND “nursing”, registered in the Health Sciences Descriptors. The inclusion criteria were the full original studies available in indexed databases, written in Portuguese, and which were published in the last five years, between 2019 and 2024. Initially, 711 studies were found in LILACS and 596 in SCIELO. After analysis, reading of the studies and application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a quantity of 8 articles were selected to compose the integrative review, as these studies covered the proposed theme, answered the research question and achieved the objective proposed by this study. After selecting the studies, they were distributed in a data table containing the following information: title, author, year, objective, location, and study approach. The literature showed that many nursing professionals have knowledge and implement protocols aimed at user safety, thus correctly identifying the patient, adopting measures associated with the prevention of infections, as well as carrying out care aimed at preventing pressure injuries. However, studies have shown that currently there are still weaknesses that compromise patient safety, being related to failures in correct patient identification, lack of knowledge of the importance of reporting adverse events, as well as deficits associated with the safe surgery checklist.Esse estudo tem como objetivo descrever as contribuições dos profissionais de enfermagem para a segurança do paciente. Este se estruturou a partir de uma revisão de literatura do tipo integrativa. O levantamento de dados foi realizado entre o período de 05 de maio a 10 de junho de 2024 nas bases de dados LILACS e SCIELO. Para a busca dos estudos foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: “segurança do paciente” AND “enfermagem”, registrados nos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde. Os critérios de inclusão foram os estudos originais na íntegra disponíveis nas bases de dados indexadas, escritos em língua portuguesa, e que foram publicados nos últimos cinco anos, entre o período de 2019 a 2024. Inicialmente foram encontrados 711 estudos no LILACS e 596 no SCIELO. Após a análise, leitura dos estudos e aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados um quantitativo de 8 artigos para compor a revisão integrativa, visto que esses estudos abrangeram a temática proposta, respondeu a questão de pesquisa e atingiu o objetivo proposto por esse estudo. Após a seleção dos estudos, esses foram distribuídos em um quadro de dados contendo as seguintes informações: título, autor, ano, objetivo, local de realização, e abordagem do estudo. A literatura evidenciou que muitos profissionais de enfermagem possuem conhecimento e implementam protocolos visando a segurança dos usuários, assim realizam a identificação correta do paciente, adotam medidas associadas a prevenção de infecções, bem como realizam cuidados visando à prevenção de lesão por pressão. Entretanto, estudos também demostraram que atualmente ainda existem fragilidades que comprometem a segurança do paciente, estando relacionadas à falhas na identificação correta, o desconhecimento da importância das notificações de eventos adveros, assim como déficits associados ao checklist de cirurgia segura

ASSISTÊNCIA DOS PROFISSIONAIS DE ENFERMAGEM AO PACIENTE COM SEPTICEMIA: UM ESTUDO DE REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA

This study aims to describe the assistance provided by nursing professionals to patients with sepsis, according to the literature of the last five years. This is an integrative literature review study. The bibliographic survey was carried out between July and August 2023, in the LILACS, SCIELO and Periódico CAPES databases. To increase the scope of the review, the Boolean AND operator was used. The descriptors were used: sepsis “AND” nursing, which are registered in the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) and which were defined according to the proposed theme. The inclusion criteria for this study were original articles published in full, available in indexed databases, written in Portuguese and published between the period 2018 to 2023. After crossing the descriptors with Boolean in the databases, we found 55 studies in LILACS, 23 in SCIELO and 153 in CAPES. After analyzing, reading the articles and applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 8 studies were selected to compose the integrative review, as these covered the proposed theme and achieved the proposed objectives. Regarding the approach of the selected studies, 1 was cross-sectional descriptive, 1 observational retrospective study, 1 cross-sectional study, descriptive of a documental nature, 2 qualitative descriptive studies, 1 cross-sectional with a retrospective approach, 1 exploratory descriptive with a qualitative approach and 1 descriptive in nature quantitative. It was evident that many nursing professionals had scientific knowledge for the recognition and management of patients with septicemia. However, some still lack training, as they confuse the signs and symptoms of sepsis with other pathologies and even fail to provide efficient assistance, as they do not carry out a rigorous evaluation of the patient to identify the signs of septicemia.Esse estudo tem como objetivo descrever a assistência realizada pelos profissionais de enfermagem ao paciente com sepse, conforme a literatura dos últimos cinco anos. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão de literatura do tipo integrativa. O levantamento bibliográfico foi realizado entre os meses de julho e agosto de 2023, nas bases de dados LILACS, SCIELO e Periódico CAPES. Para aumentar o escopo da revisão foi utilizado o operador booleano AND. Foram utilizados os descritores: sepse “AND” enfermagem, que estão registrados nos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS) e que foram definidos conforme a temática proposta. Os critérios de inclusão desse estudo foram os artigos originais publicados na íntegra, disponíveis nas bases de dados indexadas, escritos em língua portuguesa e publicados entre o período de 2018 a 2023. Após o cruzamento dos descritores com o booleano nas bases de dados, foram encontrados 55 estudos no LILACS, 23 no SCIELO e 153 no CAPES. Após a análise, leitura dos artigos e aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados um total de 8 estudos para compor a revisão integrativa, pois esses abrangeram a temática proposta e atingiram os objetivos propostos. Em relação à abordagem dos estudos selecionados, 1 foi transversal descritivo,  1 estudo observacional retrospectivo, 1 estudo transversal, descritivo de caráter documental, 2 estudos qualitativos descritivos, 1 corte transversal com abordagem retrospectiva, 1 exploratório descritivo com abordagem qualitativa e 1 descritivo de natureza quantitativa. Ficou evidente que muitos profissionais de enfermagem apresentaram conhecimentos científicos para o reconhecimento e manejo do paciente com septicemia. Entretanto, alguns ainda carecem de capacitações, visto que confundem os sinais e sintomas da sepse com outras patologias e até mesmo deixam de realizar uma assistência eficiente, pois não fazem uma avaliação rigorosa do paciente para identificar os sinais de septicemia.

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
