KNOWLEDGE OF USERS OF A SURGERY CLINIC ABOUT THE OCURRENCE OF INCIDENTS

A investigação objetivou identificar a ocorrência de incidentes percebidos pelos pacientes durante o período de internação hospitalar, analisar a opinião dos usuários sobre a ocorrência de incidentes e classificar os incidentes percebidos quanto ao tipo, causas e consequências. Estudo descritivo, transversal realizado por meio de entrevistas com 80 pacientes internados na clínica cirúrgica de um hospital de ensino, no ano de 2014, norteada por um instrumento validado. A exposição ao incidente foi percebida por 17,5% dos pacientes. Foram constatados 14 tipos de incidentes, sendo nove eventos adversos, quatro quase-erros e um incidente sem dano. Os mais perceptíveis ao paciente foram os decorrentes do processo de administração de medicamentos. Foi constatado que, apesar de inseridos no contexto da assistência, muitos profissionais ainda não reconhecem a importância do envolvimento dos usuários para a prevenção de incidentes, necessitando de ações educativas, com foco na segurança do paciente, para o empoderamento dos usuários.Se objetivó identificar la ocurrencia de incidentes percibidos por los pacientes durante su internación hospitalaria, analizar la opinión de los usuarios sobre ocurrencia de incidentes y clasificar los incidentes ocurridos según tipo, causas y consecuencias.

This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted through interviews with 80 patients admitted to the surgery clinic of a teaching hospital in 2014, guided by a validated instrument. Exposure to an incident was noticed by 17.5% of patients. Fourteen types of incidents were noticed, with nine being adverse events, four near-misses, and one an incident with no damage. The most noticeable incidents to the patient were those resulting from the medication administration process. Although within the context of care, many professionals have not yet recognized the importance of involving users to prevent incidents. In addition, educational activities focusing on patient safety for the empowerment of users are required

Virtual learning environment for managing costs of dressings for pressure ulcers

A descriptive and applied study aimed at describing the construction and assessment of a virtual learning environment on the topic of cost management of pressure ulcer dressings, using WebQuest methodology. For the planning and development phases, we used simple and accessible technological resources, focused on educational aspects. During the assessment phase, four computer science specialists, four nursing professors and four nursing professionals who worked with cost management evaluated technical aspects (Response Time and Interface Quality) as well as educational ones (Content, Activity, Interaction). These aspects received positive evaluations (over 86% of criteria were fulfilled), except for Response Time (62% were totally fulfilled and 30% partially fulfilled). The results demonstrated that it is possible to make use of virtual learning environments with undergraduate nursing students in order to impact education regarding material cost management in nursing. doi: 10.5216/ree.v16i2.22161

Growth And Body Composition In Brazilian Female Rhythmic Gymnastics Athletes.

The aim was to analyse the physical growth and body composition of rhythmic gymnastics athletes relative to their level of somatic maturation. This was a cross-sectional study of 136 athletes on 23 teams from Brazil. Mass, standing height and sitting height were measured. Fat-free and fat masses, body fat percentages and ages of the predicted peak height velocity (PHV) were calculated. The z scores for mass were negative during all ages according to both WHO and Brazilian references, and that for standing height were also negative for all ages according to WHO reference but only until 12 years old according to Brazilian reference. The mean age of the predicted PHV was 12.1 years. The mean mass, standing and sitting heights, body fat percentage, fat-free mass and fat mass increased significantly until 4 to 5 years after the age of the PHV. Menarche was reached in only 26% of these athletes and mean age was 13.2 years. The mass was below the national reference standards, and the standing height was below only for the international reference, but they also had late recovery of mass and standing height during puberty. In conclusion, these athletes had a potential to gain mass and standing height several years after PHV, indicating late maturation.321790-

Microbiological, lipid and immunological profiles in children with gingivitis and type 1 diabetes mellitus

The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of periodontal pathogens, systemic inflammatory mediators and lipid profiles in type 1 diabetes children (DM) with those observed in children without diabetes (NDM), both with gingivitis. Material and methods: Twenty-four DM children and twenty-seven NDM controls were evaluated. The periodontal status, glycemic and lipid profiles were determined for both groups. Subgingival samples of periodontal sites were collected to determine the prevalence of periodontal microorganisms by PCR. Blood samples were collected for IL-1-beta, TNF-alpha. and IL-6 analysis using ELISA kits. Results: Periodontal conditions of DM and NDM patients were similar, without statistical differences in periodontal indices. When considering patients with gingivitis, all lipid parameters evaluated were highest in the DM group; Capnocytophaga sputigena and Capnocytophaga ochracea were more prevalent in the periodontal sites of DM children. "Red complex" bacteria were detected in few sites of DM and NDM groups. Fusobacterium nucleatum and Campylobacter rectus were frequently found in both groups. Similar levels of IL-1-beta, TNF-alpha. and IL-6 were detected in DM and NDM children. Conclusion: Clinical and immunological profiles are similar between DM and NDM children. The presence of Capnocytophaga sputigena and Capnocytophaga ochracea were associated with gingivitis in DM children252217226sem informaçã
