OBJECTIVE: to analyze the efficacy of the Nursing Process in an Intensive Care Unit using indicators generated by software. METHOD: cross-sectional study using data collected for four months. RNs and students daily registered patients, took history (at admission), performed physical assessments, and established nursing diagnoses, nursing plans/prescriptions, and assessed care delivered to 17 patients using software. Indicators concerning the incidence and prevalence of nursing diagnoses, rate of effectiveness, risk diagnoses, and rate of effective prevention of complications were computed. RESULTS: the Risk for imbalanced body temperature was the most frequent diagnosis (23.53%), while the least frequent was Risk for constipation (0%). The Risk for Impaired skin integrity was prevalent in 100% of the patients, while Risk for acute confusion was the least prevalent (11.76%). Risk for constipation and Risk for impaired skin integrity obtained a rate of risk diagnostic effectiveness of 100%. The rate of effective prevention of acute confusion and falls was 100%. CONCLUSION: the efficacy of the Nursing Process using indicators was analyzed because these indicators reveal how nurses have identified patients' risks and conditions, and planned care in a systematized manner.

The study was planned to determine the most common nursing diagnoses according to NANDA International (NANDA-I) taxonomy and difficulties experienced in using of nursing process in COVID-19 outbreak. The sample of the descriptive cross-sectional study consisted of nurses cared for patients with COVID-19 ( n = 114). Average age of nurses is 26.86 ± 6.68. Commonly determined nursing diagnoses according to NANDA-I taxonomy in patients with COVID-19 were imbalanced nutrition (66.7%), impaired gas exchange (40.4%), insomnia (21.1%), acute confusion (31.6%), hopelessness (96.5%), difficulty playing caregiver (84.2%), anxiety (38.6%) willingness to strengthen religious bond (71.9%), risk for infection (64.9%), nausea (49.1%). Twenty-four-years old and younger, high school graduates, caring for intubated patients, and those who stated that they did not use nursing diagnosis had more difficulty in using nursing process (<0.05). The use of nursing diagnoses and process for patients with COVID-19 is extremely important in ensuring individual and qualified nursing care.

ABSTRACTObjective: to identify nursing problems of children with hydrocephalus and myelomeningocele in the use of ventricular shunts. Method: cross-sectional study, quantitative, developed in an internment unit for pediatric neurosurgery in a public hospital. The sample consisted of 60 patients admitted from June to December 2006. The study was submitted to the ethics committee of research on Protocol No. 82/2006. Results: the findings showed that the main problems and nursing diagnoses are related to decreased intracranial adaptive capacity related to increased ICP, risk of impaired skin integrity related to immobility and / or frequent exposure to fecal / urinary secretion and urinary incontinence  related neurogenic bladder. Conclusion: ventricular shunts are important methods to improve survival of children with hydrocephalus. But the care provided and the handling of the devices must be well oriented to families by the multiprofessional team, aiming to reduce the long periods of re-internments. Descriptors: nursing; child health; hydrocephalus; myelomeningocele; drainage.RESUMOObjetivo: identificar problemas de enfermagem de crianças com hidrocefalia e mielomeningocele em uso de derivações ventriculares. Método: estudo transversal, quantitativo, desenvolvido em uma unidade de internação em neurocirurgia pediátrica de um hospital público. A amostra constituiu-se de 60 pacientes internados de junho a dezembro de 2006. O estudo foi submetido ao comitê de ética em pesquisa com protocolo n°82/2006. Resultados: os achados evidenciaram que os principais diagnósticos e problemas de enfermagem relacionam-se à capacidade adaptativa intracraniana diminuída relacionada ao aumento da PIC; risco para integridade da pele prejudicada relacionado à imobilidade e/ou exposição frequente à secreção fecal/urinária e incontinência urinária relacionada à bexiga neurogênica. Conclusão: as derivações ventriculares são métodos importantes para aumentar a sobrevida das crianças com hidrocefalia. Porém os cuidados dispensados quanto ao manuseio dos dispositivos devem ser bem orientados pela equipe multiprofissional às famílias, objetivando reduzir os longos períodos de re-internações. Descritores: enfermagem; saúde da criança; hidrocefalia; mielomeningocele; drenagem.RESUMENObjetivo: identificar problemas de enfermería en niños con hidrocefalía y  mielomeningocele que usan derivaciones ventriculares.

AbstractLow back pain (LBP) is a very common health problem worldwide, and has a major impact on quality of life. This is a cross-sectional study using data obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) to investigate the health and nutritional status of Korean people, conducted in 2013, 2014, and 2015. The total of 8,473 patients included in the analysis. A 357 (19.34%) subjects in the chronic LBP group and 1,697 (25.61%) subjects in the no chronic LBP group reported no stress (P < 0.001). The numbers of subjects reporting mild, moderate, and severe stress in the two groups were 934 (50.6%) vs. 3,785 (57.11%), 432 (23.4%) vs. 910 (13.73%), and 123 (6.66%) and 235 (3.55%), respectively (all P < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis with full adjustment for other variables indicated higher OR for severe stress (OR 2.82, P < 0.001) than moderate (OR 2.54, P < 0.001) and mild (OR 1.55, P < 0.001) stress. We confirmed that there was a significant association between chronic LBP and degree of stress. Therefore, the degree of stress should be assessed in clinical treatment of chronic LBP patients.

ABSTRACT Objective: Identify the signs and symptoms of patients with Gaucher Disease, inferring possible priority nursing diagnoses. Method: Cross-sectional study, developed in a specialized laboratory, between 2013 and 2015. The sample (n = 91) comprised the records of patients with genetic diagnosis for Gaucher Disease. The study respected research norms. Results: Prevalence of female sex (57.1%), age at diagnosis between 0 and 10 years, and origin from the Southeast Region of Brazil were prevalent. Hematologic changes, bone pain, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and fatigue were the most recurrent signs and symptoms. The inferred diagnoses for the studied population were: Risk for bleeding; Fatigue; Chronic pain and Acute pain; Impaired physical mobility; Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements; and Risk for Developmental Delay. Conclusion: The establishment of Priority Nursing Diagnoses based on signs and symptoms makes it possible to achieve expected outcomes for each individual in the care context.
