ABSTRACT Objective: to quantify the pyrogenic reactions that occurred after diagnostic or therapeutic percutaneous coronary procedures in patients treated at the hemodynamics sector in a university hospital in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, within the period from April 2009 to April 2010. Method: this is a cross-sectional with a retrospective design and a sample of 74 individuals who presented pyrogenic reaction after percutaneous coronary procedures. The data were collected through structured questionnaires having field diaries as a basis, being analyzed through descriptive statistics techniques. The study was approved by the Research Ethic Committee of Universidade de Pernambuco, under CAAE 0158.0.097.000-09, obtaining a favorable opinion through the Protocol 172/09. Results: 3,030 diagnostic or therapeutic percutaneous coronary procedures were performed, where 74 (2.44%) were associated to pyrogenic reaction. December/2009 (6.40%), January/2010 (9.96%), and March/2010 (5.55%) were the months that had the highest percentages of pyrogenic reaction. Among the individuals under study, the following features were prevalent: male gender (58.10%) and mean age of 56.50 years. All patients with pyrogenic reaction had used reprocessed percutaneous coronary materials. Tremors were the predominant clinical manifestation, reaching 78.38% of the cases. Conclusion: the occurrence of pyrogenic reaction was non-frequent, considering the whole period. But when the months are analyzed separately, it was observed that in some of them the occurrence was particularly high. The population characteristics are similar to those of previous studies. And the use of reprocessed material was found in all the reactions, raising the question on the validation of reprocessing single-use materials. Descriptors: pyrogens; equipment reuse; heart catheterization. RESUMO Objetivo: quantificar as reações pirogênicas que ocorreram após procedimentos coronários percutâneos diagnósticos ou terapêuticos em pacientes atendidos no setor de hemodinâmica em um Hospital Universitário do Recife-PE, no período compreendido entre abril de 2009 e abril 2010. Método: estudo de corte transversal e de caráter retrospectivo, com amostra de 74 indivíduos que apresentaram reação pirogênica após procedimentos coronários percutâneos. Os dados foram coletados através de questionários estruturados e com base em diários de campo, sendo analisados por técnicas de estatística descritiva. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade de Pernambuco, sob CAAE 0158.0.097.000-09, obtendo parecer favorável através do Protocolo N° 172/09. Resultados: foram realizados 3030 procedimentos coronários percutâneos diagnósticos ou terapêuticos, dos quais 74 (2,44%) se associaram a reação pirogênica. Os meses de dezembro/2009 (6,40%), janeiro/2010 (9,96%) e março/2010 (5,55%) foram os meses tiveram os maiores percentuais de pirogenia. Entre os pesquisados, predominaram: sexo masculino (58,10%), média de idade de 56,50. Todos os pacientes com reação pirogênica usaram materiais coronários percutâneos reprocessados. Os tremores predominaram entre as manifestações clínicas, constituindo 78,38% dos casos. Conclusão: a ocorrência de reação pirogênica foi infreqüente, considerando todo o período. Porém, quando os meses são analisados separadamente, observa-se que em alguns a ocorrência foi particularmente elevada. As características da população se assemelham a estudos anteriores. E o uso de material reprocessado foi encontrado na totalidade das reações, levantando a questão sobre a validação do reprocessamento de materiais de uso único. Descritores: pirogênios; reutilização de equipamento; cateterismo cardíaco.

Conclusión: la ocurrencia de reacción pirogénica fue infrecuente, teniendo en cuenta todo el período. Pero cuando los meses son analizados separadamente, se observa que en algunos casos la incidencia fue especialmente alta. Las características de la población son similares a aquellas de estudios anteriores. Y el uso de material reprocesado se encuentra en todas las reacciones, levantando la cuestión acerca de la validación del reprocesamiento de materiales de un solo uso. Parte superior do formulário. Descriptores: pirógenos; reutilización de equipamiento; cateterismo cardíaco.

Abstract Aim and objectives The aim of the study is to assess the average radiation doses recorded per procedure in Ain Shams University Hospital pediatric cath lab to set benchmarks of radiation exposure in our institute. Patients and Methods The study included 198 patients who presented to Ain Shams cardiac pediatric cath lab who undergone interventional (BPV, BAV, ASD device closure, VSD device closure, PDA coil/device closure, Coarctation Stent/balloon) and diagnostic (Hemodynamics study, Diagnostic cath) heart catheterization. Radiation doses were measured without any interference with the operator’s preferences. Results Radiation dosages were measured in total AirKerma, Dose area product (DAP), and fluoroscopy time to set the benchmarks for radiation exposure in our institute per procedure. VSD device closure showed the highest radiation exposure followed by Coarctation stenting. Lowest radiation dosage was in PDA coil closure followed by ASD device closure then BPV. Conclusion Benchmarks for radiation exposure per procedure in pediatric cath lab in our institute were set and compared to each other.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the profile of drugs prescribed via oral and gastrointestinal catheter in a Walk-in Service of a University Hospital. Method: Quantitative cross-sectional study in which data were collected from the medical records of hospitalized patients using medication via oral or gastrointestinal catheter at least once a day between April and October 2015. The analysis was performed through descriptive statistics. Results: Out of 568 prescriptions (total), there were 143 different medications. The pharmaceutical form with the greatest number of prescriptions was solid (95.8%), of which 46.1% were simple tablets. The oral route had the highest number of administrations (97.3%). The most prescribed drug class was of anti-infectives (25.9%), but the Omeprazole drug was the most prescribed in the study (40%). Conclusion: There are indications that enable rethinking the care practice and establishing criteria and norms for contributing to the safety and efficacy of services provided in healthcare, especially regarding the preparation and administration of medications via gastrointestinal catheter.

Aims: Immigrants, refugees, and their descendants comprise 12% of Denmark’s population. Some of these people do not speak or understand Danish well enough to communicate with the staff in a healthcare setting and therefore need interpreter services. Interpretation through video conferencing equipment (video interpretation) is frequently used and creates a forum where the interpreter is not physically present in the medical consultation. The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes to and experiences with video interpretation among charge nurses in a Danish university hospital. Methods: An electronic questionnaire was sent to 99 charge nurses. The questionnaire comprised both closed and open-ended questions. The answers were analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic text condensation. Results: Of the 99 charge nurses, 78 (79%) completed the questionnaire. Most charge nurses, 21 (91%) of the daily/monthly users, and 21 (72%) of the monthly/yearly users, said that video interpretation increased the quality of their conversations with patients. A total of 19 (24%) departments had not used video interpretation within the last 12 months. Conclusions: The more the charge nurses used video interpretation, the more satisfied they were. Most of the charge nurses using video interpretation expressed satisfaction with the technology and found it easy to use. Some charge nurses are still content to allow family or friends to interpret. To reach its full potential, video interpretation technology has to be reliable and easily accessible for any consultation, including at the bedside.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to describe the profile of smokers hospitalized for surgery, and investigate their motivation to quit. The sample consisted of 100 patients recruited from a university hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected between February and May 2013, and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The sample was predominantly male (n=58; 58%) and had a mean age of 54.5±13.8 years. Seventy-nine (79%) of the participants were white, 38(38%) were married and 67(67%) had primary education only. Patients started smoking at a mean age of 17±6.6 years, smoked approximately 20(10 to 28.7) cigarettes/day and had been smoking for a mean of 37.4±14.4 years. Ninety-one (91%) patients wanted to stop smoking, 57(57%) were in the preparation phase, 36(36%) had low nicotine dependence and 35(35%) had been encouraged to quit. We concluded that, although hospitalization is a good moment to address smoking cessation, health care professionals do not enact effective and systematic interventions in this regard.

The objective of this study was to validate the defining characteristics for the nursing diagnosis of Fatigue in adult oncological patients. It is a cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative perspective, and its type is diagnostic content validation. Data collection was carried out in a University Hospital. The sample was made up of 35 expert nurses. The instrument used was subdivided into four parts. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics. 15 defining characteristics were identified, considered secondary indicators. With an average weighting of less than 0.50, four defining characteristics were excluded. The defining characteristic Impaired social interaction, added to those described by NANDA-I after review of the literature, was validated with a weighted average of 0.71. It was concluded that the subjectivity of the defining characteristics and the difficulty nurses have in recognizing them influence the identification of this diagnosis.

Abstract. Previous research suggests that parenting style influences the development of the needs for achievement, power, and affiliation. The present study investigated the relationship between parenting style and another important motive disposition – the need for autonomy – in a sample of Singapore university students ( N = 97, 69% female), using a cross-sectional and retrospective design. It was predicted that an authoritative perceived parenting style would relate positively to the implicit need for autonomy ( nAut), the explicit need for autonomy ( sanAut), and the congruence between these two motive dispositions. Authoritative maternal parenting was found to positively associate with sanAut, while maternal parenting was not found to associate with nAut, or with nAut/ sanAut congruence. Paternal parenting was not associated with any of the dependent variables.
