ABSTRACT Objectives: To estimate the content validity of the Symptom Control nursing outcome for heart failure patients in palliative care and to analyze the influence of experts' experience in the judgment of the relevance of indicators. Methods: A methodological study conducted in São Paulo in 2018, with an adaptation of Fehring's validation model. The relevance of the 11 outcome indicators was assessed by 19 experts by means of an electronically submitted survey. The influence of the experts' experience on judgment was analyzed by the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test and by Kendall's Tau correlation. Results: The indicators were considered pertinent; with 54.5% classified as critical. There was no association between the weighted means of the indicators and the experts' experience. Conclusions: The indicators analyzed are relevant for the evaluation of the Symptom Control outcome in this group of patients. The experts' judgment was not influenced by their area of clinical experience or by their experience with the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC).

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.

Objective: Determine the role of palliative care on terminal code status and setting of death for those with heart failure. Background: Although palliative care consultation (PCC) has increased for many conditions, PCC has not increased in those with cardiovascular disease. While it has been shown that the majority of those with heart failure die in medical facilities, the impact of PCC on terminal code status and setting of death requires further analysis. Methods: Patients admitted with heart failure between 2014-2015 at an academic VA Healthcare System were reviewed. Primary outcome was terminal code status. Secondary outcomes included setting of death, hospice utilization, and mortality scores. Student t-testing and Chi-square testing were performed where appropriate. Results: 334 patients were admitted with heart failure and had a median follow up time of 4.3 years. 196 patients died, with 122 (62%) receiving PCC and 74 (38%) without PCC. Patients were more likely to have terminal code statuses of comfort measures with PCC (OR = 4.6, p = 0.002), and less likely to be full code (OR = 0.09, p < 0.001). 146 patients had documented settings of death and were more likely to receive hospice services with PCC (OR 6.76, p < 0.001). A patient’s chance of dying at home was not increased with PCC (OR 0.49, p = 0.07), but they were more likely to die with inpatient hospice (OR = 17.03; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Heart failure patients who received PCC are more likely to die with more defined care preferences and with hospice services. This does not translate to dying at home.
