In order to explore the rational use of nursing resources in the epidemic situation of COVID-19, we optimized the shift arrangement in COVID-19 isolation area and constructed a reasonable nursing schedule under the condition of limited human resources. Seventy-eight nurses were arranged in COVID-19 isolation area to work for 1 week according to 3 different shifts: 4 + 4 h, 6 h and 6 h (overlapping by 1 h). Through the form of questionnaire, the comprehensive job satisfaction of 3 different models were compared, and the nursing quality and the consumption of protective equipment under 3 different modes were analyzed. The results showed that the comprehensive job satisfaction and nursing quality of nurses in 6 h (overlapping by 1 h) shift mode were better than those in other shift modes, and the consumption of protective equipment was lower.

O presente estudo visa analisar a prevalência de depressão nos profissionais enfermeiros de um Hospital Filantrópico, em Campo Grande/MS, que nunca haviam tido diagnóstico de depressão anteriormente, correlacionando com aspectos sociodemográficos e laborais, como período de trabalho e horas de descanso semanal. Tratou-se de um estudo de caráter quantitativo, aspecto analítico, observacional e transversal, realizado com 89 enfermeiros do Hospital Associação Beneficente Santa Casa de Campo Grande, com início em maio de 2015 e término em novembro de 2016. Para a análise, foram aplicados dois questionários, sendo um de autoria própria (com perfil sociodemográfico, qualidade de vida e de trabalho e saúde mental), e outro validado, representado pelo Inventário de Depressão de Beck, o qual possibilita inferir o diagnóstico de depressão. Dos 89 profissionais enfermeiros, a prevalência de casos de depressão foi de 2 (2,2%), sendo que 9 (11,1%) se mostraram disfóricos e os demais não tiveram alterações relacionadas a tal enfermidade psiquiátrica. Daqueles trabalhadores com depressão, 2 (2,2%) eram do sexo feminino, 2 (2,2%) eram solteiros e 2 (2,2%) exerciam seu trabalho no período vespertino. Houve maior prevalência de depressão nos enfermeiros do sexo feminino, solteiros, que exerciam suas atividades no turno vespertino e possuíam um ou nenhum período de lazer durante a semana.Palavras-chave: Depressão.

This was a quantitative, analytical observational and cross sectional study with 89 nurses from Hospital Associação Beneficente Santa Casa de Campo Grande , that began on May of 2015 and ended on November of 2016. For the analysis two questionnaires were applied, one of the author’s authorship (with sociodemographic profile, quality of life and work and mental health) and another validated, Beck Depression Inventory, which allows to classify depression diagnosis. From 89 nurses, the prevalence of depression cases were 2 nurses (2,2%), and 9 (11,1%) were dysphoric and the others had no relevant alterations. Of those with depression 2 (2,2%) were female, 2 (2,2%) were single and 2 (2,2%) exercised their work in the evening period. There was higher prevalence of depression in female, single nurses that exercised their work in the evening period and had one or no free time during the week.Keywords: Depression. Nursing.

Abstract Background Transplantation is a saving therapeutic that has heavy consequences. The quality of life (QoL) of transplanted children and their parents has been little studied and should help physicians better manage these patients. The objectives of the study were to assess: (1) the QoL of transplanted children and parents and compare it with that of children with other chronic conditions associated with long-term consequences, and (2) potential variables modulating the QoL. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed in a multidisciplinary paediatric unit (Timone Hospital, Marseille, France). Children were less than 18 years old; had a liver, kidney or heart transplant; and had a time since transplantation of 1–10 years. Socio-demographics and clinical data were recorded from medical forms. The QoL was assessed using the VSP-A (Vécu et Santé Perçue de l’Adolescent et de l’Enfant) and the WhoQoL self-reported questionnaires. Results Forty-five families were included (response rate: 76%). The transplanted organs were the liver for 20 children, the kidney for 15 children, and the heart for 10 children. The QoL of transplanted children reported by their parents was better than that of children with inborn errors of metabolism and similar to that of childhood leukaemia survivors. The QoL of parents of transplanted children was better than that of parents of children with inborn errors of metabolism and did not differ from French norms. The QoL did not differ according to the nature of the transplanted organ, sex or the main sociodemographic data. The main modulators decreasing QoL were residual treatment level, medications switch and the presence of another regular treatment. Conclusion Transplanted children and their families reported a fairly preserved QoL compared to children with other chronic health conditions. Special attention should be given to QoL modulators related to therapeutic management (medication switches, regular treatments) that might be amenable to improve the QoL.

Abstract Background.Transplantation is a saving therapeutic that has heavy consequences. The quality of life (QoL) of transplanted children and their parents has been little studied and should help physicians better manage these patients. The objectives of the study were to assess: i) the QoL of transplanted children and parents and compare it with that of children with other chronic conditions associated with long-term consequences, and ii) potential variables modulating the QoL.Methods.This cross-sectional study was performed in a multidisciplinary paediatric unit (Timone Hospital, Marseille, France). Children were less than 18 years old; had a liver, kidney or heart transplant; and had a time since transplantation of 1 to 10 years. Socio-demographics and clinical data were recorded from medical forms. The QoL was assessed using the VSP-A (Vécu et Santé Perçue de l’Adolescent et de l’Enfant) and the WhoQoL self-reported questionnaires. Results.Forty-five families were included (response rate: 76%). The transplanted organs were the liver for 20 children, the kidney for 15 children, and the heart for 10 children. The QoL of transplanted children reported by their parents was better than that of children with inborn errors of metabolism and similar to that of childhood leukaemia survivors. The QoL of parents of transplanted children was better than that of parents of children with inborn errors of metabolism and did not differ from French norms. The QoL did not differ according to the nature of the transplanted organ, sex or the main sociodemographic data. The main modulators decreasing QoL were residual treatment level, medications switch and the presence of another regular treatment. Conclusion.Transplanted children and their families reported moderate deterioration of their QoL compared with children with other chronic health conditions. Special attention should be given to QoL modulators related to therapeutic management (medication switches, regular treatments) that might be amenable to improve the QoL.
