Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de abordagem fenomenológica hermenêutica, que teve como objetivo compreender a percepção de morte dos profissionais de enfermagem no seu cotidiano de trabalho em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva, de um hospital de ensino da cidade de Curitiba. Foram realizadas 9 entrevistas gravadas, no período de outubro a novembro de 2004, com a equipe de enfermagem, respeitando a Resolução nº 196/96 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde sobre pesquisa envolvendo seres humanos. A análise dos depoimentos se deu mediante três momentos: a descrição, a redução e a compreensão fenomenológica e o tema que emergiu foi: a morte geradora de uma multiplicidade de sentimentos. Evidenciou-se que estes trabalhadores desenvolvem suas atividades cercadas de muita emoção e questionamentos, por não terem sido preparados para trabalhar com a morte, e sim para trabalhar com a vida.Death in the daily working routine of nursing professionals in an intensive care unitAbstractIt is a qualitative research with a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach, which objectified to apprehend the perception of death for nursing professionals along their daily working routine in an Intensive Care Unit in a University Hospital. Nine (9) recorded interviews with a nursing team were carried out between October and November/ 2004. The interviews conformed to Resolution N.196/96 of National Health Council on research involving human beings. The analysis of the accounts went through three steps: description, reduction and phenomenological understanding. It was pointed out that living surrounded by death can bring about a multitude of feelings, such as: compassion, guilt, detachment, denial, emotional involvement/ empathy. It was evidenced that those professionals perform their tasks surrounded by a lot of emotion and inquiries as they have not been prepared to cope with death but work with life.

This cross-sectional study was carried out at a university hospital to describe the nursing interventions most frequently performed in the clinical practice of an intensive care unit, based on nursing care prescriptions, and to investigate their similarity to the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). The sample consisted of 991 hospitalizations of patients. Data were retrospectively collected from the computer database and analyzed through descriptive statistics and cross-mapping. A total of 57 different NIC interventions frequently used in the unit were identified; most of them in the complex (42%) and basic physiological (37%) domains, in the classes ‘respiratory management’ and ‘self-care facilitation’. Similarity between the nursing care prescribed and nursing interventions/NIC was found in 97.2% of the cases. The conclusion is that the interventions/NIC used in the clinical practice of this intensive care unit reflects the level of complexity of nursing care, which is mainly directed at the regulation of the body’s physical and homeostatic functioning.

Introduction: While improvement of hand hygiene (HH) compliance is considered as the best approach to reduce healthcare-associated infections, the instructional interventions in HH among healthcare workers of intensive care unit (ICU) of our hospital was not successful enough. The following study was conducted to evaluate HH knowledge, perception, practice and effectiveness of the trainings among healthcare workers of ICU in our hospital. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the ICU containing 8 medical and 16 surgical beds with 284 filled questionnaires about HH knowledge and 1187 observed opportunities for HH compliance. Results: Overall observed HH compliance rate was 40.6%; lowest compliance was 21.7% for “before clean/aseptic procedure” indication and highest compliance was 68.6% for “after touching a patient” indication. Although > 90% healthcare workers correctly identified the World Health Organization’s five indications for HH, 82 – 85% failed to recognize non-indications, i.e. when it was not necessary to perform HH. Our study showed that 15.1% of healthcare workers neither received nor felt the need for HH training. Conclusions: Despite regular HH trainings, healthcare workers could not differentiate when HH was not required which suggested failure to understand HH rationale. This may explain poor HH compliance rates. A systematic study is needed in order to find out the reasons behind of this noncompliance and improve HH training methods for educating healthcare workers.

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis is a serious blood bacterial infection in neonates at the age of equal to or less than 28 days of life, and it's still the major significant cause of death and long-term morbidity in developing countries. Therefore, this study has assessed the prevalence and related factors with neonatal sepsis among new born admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized University Hospital, Harar, Ethiopia. Methods: An institutional based retrospective cross-sectional study design was conducted among 386 neonates admitted to NICU from September 2017 to August 2019 G.C. A systematic random sampling method was used. Data was analyzed using SPSS V.26. Descriptive summary statistics was done. Bivariate analysis was computed to identify association between dependent and independent variables. Multivariate analysis was used to control possible confounder variables and variables with p-value <0.05 were declared as having statistically significant association. Result: The prevalence of neonatal sepsis was 53.1% and 59.5% were males. Among the total neonates who had sepsis, 67.8% had early neonatal sepsis. Among neonatal factors, preterm neonates (AOR: 8.1, 95%CI: 2.1, 31.2), birth asphyxia (AOR: 4.7, 95%CI: 1.6, 13.6); and among maternal factors, urban residence (AOR: 0.26, 95%CI: 0.1, 0.5), ANC attendance (AOR: 0.32, 95%CI: 0.2, 0.6), SVD (AOR: 0.047, 95%CI: 0.01, 0.2), Maternal antibiotic use (AOR: 0.39; 95%CI: 0.2, 0.8), duration of rupture of membrane < 12 hours (AOR: 0.11; 95%CI: 0.05, 0.2) were found to have significant association with neonatal sepsis. Conclusion: Overall, the magnitude of neonatal sepsis was high. Being preterm, low birth weight and having birth asphyxia were found to significantly increase the odds of neonatal sepsis. Urban residence, having ANC follow up, giving birth by SVD and CS, history of antibiotic use and having rupture of membrane < 18 hours were found to significantly decrease the odds of neonatal sepsis.

Introduction. Nurses and physicians working in the intensive care unit (ICU) may be exposed to considerable job stress. The study aim was to assess the level of and the relationship between (1) job satisfaction, (2) job stress, and (3) burnout symptoms.Methods. A cross-sectional study was performed at ICUs at Oslo University Hospital. 145 of 196 (74%) staff members (16 physicians and 129 nurses) answered the questionnaire. The following tools were used: job satisfaction scale (scores 10–70), modified Cooper's job stress questionnaire (scores 1–5), and Maslach burnout inventory (scores 1–5); high score in the dimension emotional exhaustion (EE) indicates burnout. Personality was measured with the basic character inventory. Dimensions were neuroticism (vulnerability), extroversion (intensity), and control/compulsiveness with the range 0–9.Results. Mean job satisfaction among nurses was 43.9 (42.4–45.4) versus 51.1 (45.3–56.9) among physicians,P<0.05. The mean burnout value (EE) was 2.3 (95% CI 2.2–2.4), and mean job stress was 2.6 (2.5–2.7), not significantly different between nurses and physicians. Females scored higher than males on vulnerability, 3.3 (2.9–3.7) versus 2.0 (1.1–2.9) (P<0.05), and experienced staff were less vulnerable, 2.7 (2.2–3.2), than inexperienced staff, 3.6 (3.0–4.2) (P<0.05). Burnout (EE) correlated with job satisfaction (r=-0.4,P<0.001), job stress (r=0.6,P<0.001), and vulnerability (r=0.3,P=0.003).Conclusions. The nurses were significantly less satisfied with their jobs compared to the physicians. Burnout mean scores are relatively low, but high burnout scores are correlated with vulnerable personality, low job satisfaction, and high degree of job stress.
