Parents of preterm-born infants need support after returning to their homes with their baby. We studied the experience of certified paediatric nurses (CPNs) with the use of videoconferencing between the neonatal intensive care unit and the families' home. Families were given a home videoconferencing unit, which allowed them to contact staff at the neonatal unit, day and night. Over a period of 12 months, ten families used the videoconferencing equipment. Families made a median of 4 telemedicine calls each (range 2–30). Narrative interviews were performed with 10 CPNs after the study ended. Qualitative thematic content analysis was applied to the interview data and one theme was identified: smoothing the transition of infants from the neonatal unit to the families' home. The CPNs found that videoconferencing helped them to assess the overall situation at home and facilitated the relationship between parents and the infant. The CPNs felt that they were able to provide security to the family. The use of videoconferencing was considered as a generally positive experience and as a tool to improve nursing care at home.

OBJECTIVE: To understand the interaction process between the elderly and the family and the nurses during home care. METHODS: Grounded theory qualitative study in a community where 40% of the population is aged 65 or above. The collection of data was made via the non-participating observation of nursing practice during 41 home visits and semi-structured interviews to nurses, the elderly and the family. RESULTS: the following categories emerged - structural organization of at-home care, diagnostic assessment in context and therapeutic intervention in context. CONCLUSION: the central category was "Building the relationship in an at-home context", due to the fact that the relationship between the nurse, the elderly and the family is central across the entire care process. The relation is, simultaneously, the context for all the care and a therapeutic instrument.

The psychiatric reform that took place in Brazil carries characteristics of other movements that occurred in other parts of the world. The idea common to all movements is the struggle for the rights of the individual in mental suffering, seeking mainly the rupture of the mental model. These changes led to several transformations in the care scenario, for all professions directly linked to the patient. Nursing in turn has experienced and experiences significant changes in the provision of care. The aim of this study is to talk about nursing care for patients affected by mental disorder, making a temporal analysis of how this care occurred and how it presents itself in the current mental health conjuncture. The methodology is of the literature review type, which occurred through research in the databases BIREME, Lilacs, Scielo, BDENF and VHL. For this, the descriptors: nursing care for people with disorders were selected; nursing care for patients with mental disorders. In view of the results, it was evidenced that nurses are an important part of caring for patients with mental disorders, noting that these make up a multidisciplinary team and highlighting that care goes far beyond just caring for the patient, but that it consists mainly in the relationship with the patient's family, in bonding, in the work that aims at social reintegration and often also the family reinsertion of the individual. Profession that needs to undergo constant updates, but has experienced numerous transformations throughout this period of Reformation.

Abstract BackgroundWith a rapidly aging population, the importance of promoting end-of-life care at home has been pointed out. Home-visit nurses play an important role as professionals in charge of home care, and pre- and post- bereavement care for bereaved families is included in home-visit nursing services. However, bereaved families are not always provided with care after bereavement in Japan. This present study aims to investigate the relationship between the provision rates of pre- and post-bereavement care for the patient family and the demographics of home-visit nurses through a survey of home-visit nurses, and to clarify the details of post-bereavement care and the reasons why the care is employed, exploratorily through a survey of the managers of home-visit nursing stations.MethodsA self-rating anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted with 2,400 facilities (including 2,200 facilities randomly selected from among the members of Home-Visit Nursing Stations of the National Nursing Business Association). For the analysis, simple aggregation was used and the statistical processing employed SPSS ver21.0.ResultsA total of 680 valid responses were analyzed. The mean length of home-visit nursing experience was 10.6 years and that of hospital nursing experience was 15.2 years. The provision rate of post-bereavement care was 90% or higher in most of the identified items, excluding “Provided continued support/life planning until the family fully recovers social life”. For the provision of post-bereavement care, most items exceeded 70%, but excluding “Provided continued support until the family fully recovers social life”, and “Involved in building a life after bereavement”.Compared to the participants with less than 5 years of home-visit nursing experience, those with 10 years or longer experience had statistically significantly higher rates of providing post-bereavement care in more than half of the identified items. Home-visit nursing facilities with 24-hour services had statistically significantly higher rates of providing care in more than half of the items of both of pre- and post-bereavement care, compared to the facilities without 24-hour services. About 70% of the managers think that bereaved families need follow-up, and visited the families as a post-bereavement care.

This study explored the day-to-day experiences of family members providing care at home for their dying loved one with HIV/AIDS. In-depth interviews with seven caregivers were analyzed using grounded theory qualitative methods. A conceptualization of the family caregiving experience portrays HIV/AIDS caregiving as an intense, emotional, and powerful experience filled with pride and enrichment, and conversely, with anger and disillusionment. Findings reflected a significant need for interventions designed to provide direct and effective support for family members caring for a loved one with HIV/AIDS.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to capture the existing relationship between the nursing team and the child’s family; and to learn about the family’s contribution as companion in the hospitalization process. Method: literature review done through the data base of the Virtual Health Library and in journals by means of indexed descriptors, having as criteria for selection: publications in the form of articles in their complete form and which are adequate for the discussion of the proposed theme, being freely available online without any costs and having been published between 2000 and 2011. Results: with the results of the study one can conclude that the relationship between the nursing team and the family is tangibly therapeutic, promoting a relationship of trust which is better for the quality of assistance offered to the hospitalized child. Conclusion: what has been understood is that the act of caring lies somewhat beyond the hospitalized child, involving a family who accompanies the child and ends up sharing the process of caring.
