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.

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.

Abstract Purpose Less than 10% of heart failure patients in the UK participate in cardiac rehabilitation programmes. The present pilot study evaluated feasibility, acceptability and physiological effects of a novel, personalised, home-based physical activity intervention in chronic heart failure. Methods Twenty patients (68 ± 7 years old, 20% females) with stable chronic heart failure due to reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (31 ± 8 %) participated in a single-group, pilot study assessing the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week personalised home-based physical activity intervention aiming to increase daily number of steps by 2000 from baseline (Active-at-Home-HF). Patients completed cardiopulmonary exercise testing with non-invasive gas exchange and haemodynamic measurements and quality of life questionnaire pre- and post-intervention. Patients were supported weekly via telephone and average weekly step count data collected using pedometers. Results Forty-three patients were screened and 20 recruited into the study. Seventeen patients (85%) completed the intervention, and 15 (75%) achieved the target step count. Average step count per day increased significantly from baseline to 3 weeks by 2546 (5108 ± 3064 to 7654 ± 3849, P = 0.03, n = 17) and was maintained until week 12 (9022 ± 3942). Following completion of the intervention, no adverse events were recorded and quality of life improved by 4 points (26 ± 18 vs. 22 ± 19). Peak exercise stroke volume increased by 19% (127 ± 34 vs. 151 ± 34 m/beat, P = 0.05), while cardiac index increased by 12% (6.8 ± 1.5 vs. 7.6 ± 2.0 L/min/m2, P = 0.19). Workload and oxygen consumption at anaerobic threshold also increased by 16% (49 ± 16 vs. 59 ± 14 watts, P = 0.01) and 10% (11.5 ± 2.9 vs. 12.8 ± 2.2 ml/kg/min, P = 0.39). Conclusion The Active-at-Home-HF intervention is feasible, acceptable and effective for increasing physical activity in CHF. It may lead to improvements in quality of life, exercise tolerance and haemodynamic function. Trial Registration www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT0367727. Retrospectively registered on 17 September 2018.

El Proceso de Atención de Enfermería (PAE) es una herramienta sistemática que facilita la cientificidad de los cuidados en las prácticas comunitarias del profesional de enfermería, la aplicación del método científico en la práctica comunitaria, permite a la enfermería brindar cuidados de forma lógica, sistemática e integral, revaluando las intervenciones para alcanzar los resultados planteados. Se inició con la valoración de Patrones Funcionales de Marjory Gordon y luego en la etapa de diagnóstico y planificación, se interrelacionó con North american nursing diagnosis association (NANDA), Nursing interventions classification (NIC) y Nursing outcomes classification (NOC). Es un estudio descriptivo y prospectivo. Se efectuó un análisis por medio de la aplicación de métodos: escala de medición de los rasgos socio demográfico, estudio de sintomatologías para el descubrimiento prematuro de trastornos mentales en la comunidad y la valoración por patrones funcionales. El PAE incluye diagnósticos más frecuentes, criterios de Resultados, indicadores, intervenciones y actividades para manejar la problemática comunitaria. Se evidenció alteración en los Patrones: Adaptación y Tolerancia al Estrés, Autopercepción-Autoconcepto, Rol-Relaciones, Sueño y Descanso y Percepción y Manejo de la Salud. Un cuidado estandarizado con la interrelación NANDA-NIC-NOC permite brindar un cuidado holístico desde el punto de vista de la salud mental comunitaria con un grado de cientificidad que enmarca el quehacer profesional proyectando el cuidado individual, familiar y comunitario

RESUMOObjetivo: operacionalizar o processo de Enfermagem para adolescentes em cuidados paliativos, baseado no Modelo de Adaptação de Roy, utilizando NANDA, Classificação dos Resultados de Enfermagem e Classificação das Intervenções de Enfermagem. Método: estudo qualitativo, no qual se adotou, como estratégia metodológica, o estudo de caso, realizado com dois adolescentes e famílias, por meio de visitas domiciliárias. Como referencial teórico, foi utilizado o Modelo de Adaptação de Callista Roy. Resultados: observou-se que os cuidados aos adolescentes e suas famílias favoreceram a adaptação, pois os jovens apresentaram melhora significativa frente aos estímulos; as condições socioeconômicas identificadas interferiram no bem-estar da família e da adolescente do sexo feminino e, consequentemente, percebeu-se o impacto gerado. Todavia, deve-se propor intervenções como orientações sobre o manejo dos sintomas apresentados e sessões de musicoterapia, contribuindo para a melhora no ambiente familiar, além da redução da ansiedade. Conclusão: as intervenções implementadas foram importantes para a substituição de respostas ineficazes por respostas adaptativas.

Method: a qualitative study, in which the case study, was adopted, as a methodological strategy, carried out with two adolescents and families, through home visits. As a theoretical reference, the Callista Roy Adaptation Model was used. Results: it was observed that the care to the adolescents and their families favored the adaptation, since the young showed a significant improvement in front of the stimuli; the identified socioeconomic conditions interfered with the well-being of the female family and adolescent, and consequently, the generated impact was perceived. However, one should propose interventions as guidelines on the management of the presented symptoms and sessions of music therapy, contributing to the improvement in the environment reduction of anxiety. Conclusion: the interventions implemented were important for the substitution of ineffective responses by adaptive responses.

We assessed ECGs recorded during home-based telemonitored cardiac rehabilitation (HTCR) in stable patients with heart-failure. The study included 75 patients with heart failure (NYHA II, III), with a mean age of 56 years. They participated in an eight-week programme of home cardiac rehabilitation which was telemonitored with a device which recorded 16-s fragments of their ECG. These fragments were transmitted via mobile phone to a monitoring centre. The times of the automatic ECG recordings were pre-set and coordinated with the cardiac rehabilitation. Patients were able to make additional recordings when they felt unwell using a tele-event-Holter ECG facility. During the study, 5757 HTCR sessions were recorded and 11,534 transmitted ECG fragments were evaluated. Most ECGs originated from the automatic recordings. Singular supraventricular and ventricular premature beats and ventricular couplets were detected in 16%, 69% and 16% of patients, respectively. Twenty ECGs were recorded when patients felt unwell: non sustained ventricular tachycardia occurred in three patients and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation episode in two patients. Heart failure patients undergoing HTCR did not develop any arrhythmia which required a change of the procedure, confirming it was safe. Cardiac rehabilitation at home was improved by utilizing the tele-event-Holter ECG facility.

Burns remain one of the most common injuries contributing to an increase in trauma incidence in hospitals, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, it is essential to identify the appropriate care for these wounds. Silver sulfadiazine has been widely used for the treatment of burns, but its efficacy has not been re-evaluated in recent years. Therefore, this small-scale study aimed at re-evaluating the use of silver sulfadiazine in patients with burns at a hospital in Magelang, Indonesia. A total of seven patients with second- and third-degree burns were involved and received silver sulfadiazine for 5 months (March to July 2020). Data on their wounds were collected three times and evaluated by using the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) observation method. Wound outcomes were evaluated using on the basis of wound healing by secondary intention. Silver sulfadiazine was found to be effective; 85.7% of the wound area showed granulation tissue, and 75–100% of the wound area showed epithelialisation. However, patients complained of pain during silver sulfadiazine treatment. Therefore, additional nursing interventions seem to be needed to manage burns.
