ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the effect of implementation of hospital discharge planning based on the taxonomies of NANDA-International, nursing interventions classification (NIC) and nursing outcomes classification (NOC) for patients with heart failure (HF) or diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: quasi-experimental quantitative study conducted in a public university hospital located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Convenience sampling included 28 adult patients hospitalized for HF or DM with the nursing diagnosis Ineffective Health Management (00078), who received the following nursing interventions: Teaching: Disease Process, Teaching: Prescribed Medication and Teaching: Prescribed Diet. Before and after the intervention, the following nursing outcomes were evaluated : Knowledge: Diabetes Management and Knowledge: Heart Failure Management. Results: the score of the nursing outcome Knowledge: Heart Failure Management went from 2.05±0.28 to 2.54±0.30 (P=0.002), and of the nursing outcome Knowledge: Diabetes Management went from 2.61±0.55 to 3.21±0.57 (P=0.000). Conclusion: discharge planning based on the NIC improves the NOC score and may interfere in the health outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: to assess patient knowledge of heart failure by home-based measurement of two NOC Nursing Outcomes over a six-month period and correlate mean outcome indicator scores with mean scores of a heart failure Knowledge Questionnaire.METHODS: in this before-and-after study, patients with heart failure received four home visits over a six-month period after hospital discharge. At each home visit, nursing interventions were implemented, NOC outcomes were assessed, and the Knowledge Questionnaire was administered.RESULTS: overall, 23 patients received home visits. Mean indicator scores for the outcome Knowledge: Medication were 2.27±0.14 at home visit 1 and 3.55±0.16 at home visit 4 (P<0.001); and, for the outcome Knowledge: Treatment Regimen, 2.33±0.13 at home visit 1 and 3.59±0.14 at home visit 4 (P<0.001). The correlation between the Knowledge Questionnaire and the Nursing Outcomes Classification scores was strong at home visit 1 (r=0.7, P<0.01), but weak and non significant at visit 4.CONCLUSION: the results show improved patient knowledge of heart failure and a strong correlation between Nursing Outcomes Classification indicator scores and Knowledge Questionnaire scores. The NOC Nursing Outcomes proved effective as knowledge assessment measures when compared with the validated instrument.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate expected outcomes of nursing interventions to address the nursing diagnosis of fatigue. METHODS: A cross-sectional quasi-experimental design was used. The sample consisted of 30 coronary care unit in-patient with congestive heart failure and fatigue. A specific tool designed for this study was used to collect specific data on outcomes of nursing interventions to manage the nursing diagnosis of fatigue. RESULTS: Nursing interventions to manage patients' fatigue had positive outcomes. CONCLUSION: The use of the nursing process to identify the nursing diagnosis of fatigue, design and implement specific nursing interventions, and evaluate patient outcomes leads to quality nursing care.

Abstract Background Chronic Heart Failure treatment requires close collaboration between multiple health professionals (hospitals, general practitionners, cardiologists, nurses, pharmacists,...). Guidelines for management of chronic heart failure patients after hospitalization for heart failure were published in France in 2014. In Paris and its suburbs (Ile de France) several indicators show that improvement of processes is required especially regarding linkage between hospital and ambulatory care (for example admission rate in emergency unit was 59,7% in 2014). Actions Since 2015 Regional Health Agency and Social Insurance have conducted several actions to improve patients care pathway: feed back to providers on their own results, support patients after hospital discharge, commitment of several hospitals to organize meetings with field professionals, setting up semi-urgent consultations in hospitals, bundled payment experience... Preliminary Results Indicators evolution from 2014 to 2017 is favorable for rate of admission in emergency unit (57,8% versus 59,7%), 6 months mortality (20,7% versus 23,1%), hospital readmission 6 months after index admission (24,4% versus 25,2%), but unfavorable for ambulatory clinical follow up rates (general practitionner consultation within fourteen days after hospital discharge (46,1% versus 52,5%), cardiologist consultation within sixty days after hospital discharge (47,1% versus 52,8%). Conclusions It is too early to assess the impact of each action and it will be difficult to conclude, because of interaction between actions. The evolution of outcome care indicators is satisfactory, which suggests the interest of acting on a whole care process. The worsening clinical follow up indicators leads to wonder about access to health care and requires an analysis by territory to adapt the actions. Key messages Actions to improve chronic heart failure management in Paris and its suburbs firsts outcomes are satisfactory. Acction adaptations are necessary and should be assessed in 2019/2020.

Heart failure (HF) is characterised by non-specific symptoms and unremarkable physical examination; therefore, the need exists for an available objective marker of HF status. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are a marker that can aid the dilemmas in present-day HF management. More effective screening for clinical deterioration would include changes in brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. Normal values for BNP, <50–100 pg/ml, have excellent negative predictive value (NPV) in excluding HF as a diagnosis. BNP values that are significantly elevated, e.g. >500 pg/ml, make the diagnosis of HF more likely. There are now established and emerging uses for NPs in managing HF in the community. These include the role of NPs at the time of possible new presentation of HF, its role in prognostication and, finally, the increasing interest in using NPs to guide therapy in the outpatient setting.
