RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of an anticipated care plan, structured around hospital discharge (PC-AH-US), regarding the caregiving load of people with NTCD residing in Colombia, 2019-2021. METHOD: This is a quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-intervention measurements. It includes 1170 participants who represented 585 chronic disease patient-caregiver pairs. We compared the PC-AH-US intervention, to the regular intervention. RESULTS: The PC-AH-US intervention group showed better results in all dimensions when compared to the regular intervention group: Awareness 8.7 (SD: 0.7) and 6.8 (SD: 1.7); Acknowledgement of their unique conditions 11.3 (SD: 1.0) and 9.4 (SD: 1.8); Capacity to fulfill care tasks 8.8 (SD: 0.7) and 7.5 (SD: 1.5); Wellbeing 11.4 (SD: 0.90) and 8.87 (SD: 2.3); Anticipation 5.88 (SD: 0.4) and 4.7 (SD: 1.1) and Support Network 11.4 (SD: 0.8) and 9.9 (SD: 2.5). CONCLUSION: The PC-AH-US intervention group showed a statistically significant decrease in the caregiving load for people with NTCD (p < 00). There were no significant institutional differences in readmissions or deaths. The PC-AH-US intervention backs institutional policies meant to care for people with NTCD.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To measure the preliminary effectiveness of a strategy to promote healthy lifestyle habits in schoolchildren, aged 6 to 12 years, living in the Andean region of Colombia, 2018-2021. DESIGN AND METHODS: This is a Nursing Methodological Research, developed in phases: (1) Context and schoolchildren characterization; (2) Strategy design guided by the Whittemore and Grey criteria and the Bronfenbrenner ecological conceptual model; (3) Strategy validation with 11 experts; (4) Trial to evaluate preliminary effectiveness. We applied the strategy in seven different schools with the educational community including 955 schoolchildren between 6 and 12 years of age, 551 parents, 130 teachers and 7 members of the food staff. RESULTS: Our health promotion strategy "Prosalud" has five components: citizenship feeding and nutrition, physical activity, and rest; environment protection, and directing one's own life. It includes all the participants of the educational community. CONCLUSIONS: According to experts, the health promotion strategy "Prosalud" is valid to help promoting healthy lifestyle habits among schoolchildren. This strategy demonstrates its preliminary effectiveness in a group of school children from 6 to 12 years of age, their parents, teachers, and school food staff, in the Andean region of Colombia.

RESUMO

Chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCD) show an increasing tendency, especially in low- and medium-income countries. It is necessary to develop and evaluate strategies to strengthen healthy habits at an early age in these countries. Objective: To determine the effect of the health promotion strategy "United for Healthier Kids" (U4HK) on health lifestyle habits of a group of Colombian schoolchildren for the 2018-2020 period. Materials and methods: This quasi-experimental study features treatment and control groups and pre- and post-intervention measurements. The study involved 1,011 schoolchildren between six and twelve years old from seven rural and urban schools of the Sabana Centro region of Colombia. We used the Healthy Habits Measurement Tool, previously validated in Colombia. Results: When comparing within and between groups, the UHK strategy showed statistically significant differences in healthy habits (p < 0.05) related to nutrition and physical activity in schoolchildren. Conclusions: The U4HK strategy had a positive effect and impact on the schoolchildren' healthy habits, especially in the 'chooses to drink water' and 'moves more' components. There were statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between groups in four out of the five categories: drinks more water, chooses nutritios and varied options, eats and cooks as a family, and moves more. The U4HK strategy responds to current and future health problems in schoolchildren and helps prevent chronic diseases. It could be replicated in similar populations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Worldwide, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases and one of those producing greatest impact on patients' day-to-day quality of life. Our study aim is to validate the "Living with Chronic Illness Scale" for a Spanish-speaking T2DM population. METHODS: In this observational, international, cross-sectional study, 582 persons with T2DM were recruited in primary care and outpatient hospital consultations, in Spain and Colombia, during the period from May 2018 to June 2019. The properties analysed were feasibility/acceptability, internal consistency, reliability, precision and (structural) content-construct validity including confirmatory factor analysis. The COSMIN checklist was used to assess the methodological/psychometric quality of the instrument. RESULTS: The scale had an adequate internal consistency and test retest reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.90; intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.96, respectively). In addition, the instrument is precise (standard error of measurement = 3.34, with values < ½SD = 8.52) and correlates positively with social support (DUFSS) (rs = 0.56), quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) (rs = 0.51-0.30) and ssatisfaction with life (SLS-6) (rs = 0.50-0.38). The original 26-items version of the scale did not support totally the confirmatory factor analysis. The COSMIN checklist is favourable for all the properties analysed, although weaknesses are detected for structural validity. CONCLUSIONS: The LW-CI-T2DM is a valid, reliable and accurate instrument for use in clinical practice to determine how a person's life is affected by the presence of diabetes. This instrument correlates well with the associated constructs of social support, quality of life and satisfaction. Additional research is needed to determine how well the questionnaire structure performs when robust factor analysis methods are applied.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To validate the Living with Chronic Illness (LW-CI) Scale in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). DESIGN: Observational, cross-sectional validation study with retest. Acceptability, reliability, precision and construct validity were tested. SETTING: The study took place in primary and secondary specialised units of public and private hospitals of Spain and Colombia. PARTICIPANTS: The study included 612 patients with COPD assessed from May 2018 to May 2019. A consecutive cases sampling was done. Inclusion criteria included: (A) patients with a diagnosis of COPD; (B) native Spanish speaking; (C) able to read and understand questionnaires; and (D) able to provide informed consent. Exclusion criteria included: (A) cognitive deterioration and (B) pharmacological effect or disorder that could disrupt the assessment. RESULTS: The LW-CI-COPD presented satisfactory data quality, with no missing data or floor/ceiling effects, showing high internal consistency for all the domains (Cronbach's alpha for the total score 0.92). Test-retest reliability was satisfactory (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.92). The LW-CI-COPD correlated 0.52-0.64 with quality of life and social support measures. The scale demonstrated satisfactory known-groups validity, yielding significantly different scores in patients grouped according to COPD severity levels. CONCLUSIONS: This has been the first validation study of the LW-CI-COPD. It is a feasible, reliable, valid and precise self-reported scale to measure living with COPD in the Spanish-speaking population. Therefore, it could be recommended for research and clinical practice to measure this concept and evaluate the impact of centred-care interdisciplinary interventions based on the patients' perspective, focused on providing holistic and comprehensive care to patients with COPD.

RESUMO

It is necessary to develop self-reported instruments that evaluate the process of living with chronic heart failure (HF) holistically. The Living with Chronic Illness Scale-HF (LW-CI-HF) is the only available tool to evaluate how patients are living with HF. The aim is to analyse the psychometric properties of the LW-CI scale in the HF population. An international, cross-sectional validation study was carried out in 603 patients living with HF from Spain and Colombia. The variables measured were living with HF, perceived social support, satisfaction with life, quality of life and global impression of severity. The LW-CI-HF scale presented good data quality and acceptability. All domains showed high internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha coefficient ≥ 0.7. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the total score was satisfactory (0.9) in test-retest reliability. The LW-CI-HF correlated 0.7 with social support and quality of life measures. Standard error of measurement was 6.5 for total scale. The LW-CI-HF scale is feasible, reliable and valid. However, results should be taken with caution in order to be used in clinical practice to evaluate the complex process of living with HF. Further research is proposed.

RESUMO

Introducción: El apego materno-fetal es un proceso relacional que construye la mujer gestante. Objetivo: Identificar los atributos del concepto de apego materno-fetal. Material y métodos: Se utilizó la metodología de análisis de concepto propuesta por Walker y Avant. Se realizó búsqueda de artículos en las bases de datos Lilacs/BIREME, CUIDEN, EBSCO, Science Direct, Ovid, EMBASE, Pubmed/Medline y Google Scholar. Se diseñó una base de datos para consolidar la información proveniente de los artículos. La integración de la información se hizo a través de los pasos propuestos para el análisis de concepto de Walker y Avant. Desarrollo: El apego materno-fetal es un proceso que requiere la representación mental del feto como persona, puede ser manifestado en comportamientos de interacción con el feto y cuidado hacia sí misma y requiere de una red de apoyo. Son antecedentes del apego materno-fetal, las formas de vinculación de la mujer gestante con su madre y su pareja, y, como consecuencias, la intención de lactar, la sensación de competencia materna y el vínculo materno-infantil. Los atributos de este concepto se pueden agrupar en cuatro dimensiones: cognitiva, afectiva, altruista y personal/relacional. Son varios los instrumentos que se han desarrollado para medirlas, entre los que se cuentan el de Cranley, Muller y el de Condon. Conclusiones: Se concluye que el apego materno-fetal es un concepto de trascedencia para la teoría y la práctica de la enfermería materno-infantil y el cuidado prenatal, pues es pilar fundamental en la transición hacia la maternidad(AU)

Introduction: Maternal-fetal bonding is a relational process built by the pregnant woman. Objective: To identify the attributes of the concept of maternal-fetal bonding. Material and methods: The conceptual analysis approached by Walker and Avant´s was used. A detailed searched for articles in several databases such as Lilacs/BIREME, CUIDEN, EBSCO, Science Direct, Ovid, EMBASE, PubMed/Medline y Google Scholar was carried out. A database was designed to gather information from different articles. The integration of information was carried out following the steps proposed for the concept analysis outlined by Walker and Avant. Development: Maternal-fetal bonding is a process that requires the mental representation of the fetus as a person. It can be expressed as interactions with the fetus and self-care behavior, and it requires network support. Some antecedents of maternal-fetal bonding are the relation of the pregnant woman with her mother and her partner and consequently, the intention to breastfeed, the sensation of maternal competence, and maternal-infant attachment. The attributes of this concept can be grouped into four dimensions: cognitive, affective, altruistic, and personal/relational. Several instruments have been developed to carry out its measurement, including Cranley´s, Muller´s and Condon´s. Conclusions: It is concluded that maternal-fetal bonding is a concept of transcendence combining theory and practice of maternal and child nursing care and prenatal care; as it is a fundamental pillar in the transition to motherhood(AU)

RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción: las enfermeras desempeñan los roles independiente, dependiente e interdependiente para cuidar, el ambiente de la práctica afecta directamente el desempeño de dichos roles y así los resultados del cuidado. Objetivo: comparar el desempeño del rol independiente de las enfermeras y el ambiente de la práctica en un grupo de servicios de hospitalización de instituciones clínicas públicas y privadas de segundo y tercer nivel de atención de dos ciudades de Colombia. Métodos: estudio descriptivo comparativo, muestra intencionada de 210 enfermeras. Para la recolección de la información se utilizó la Encuesta Multinacional sobre la Relación entre el Rol Profesional de la Enfermera (o) y su lugar de trabajo y para el análisis se emplearon estrategias de análisis univariado y bivariado. Resultados: el 72 por ciento de las enfermeras refirió que su rol principal es supervisar la atención de otros. Sin diferir de manera significativa según carácter de la institución, las enfermeras dedican gran parte de su tiempo a realizar acciones no relacionadas directamente con su rol profesional limitando el tiempo para el cuidado directo. Existe diferencia entre las instituciones clínicas públicas y las privadas con respecto a la calificación que las enfermeras otorgan al ambiente de la práctica de su institución (valor p: 0.000). Conclusión: se identificó la necesidad de evaluar la ejecución del rol independiente y los factores del ambiente de la práctica para implementar medidas que contribuyan a mejorar la calidad y seguridad del cuidado(AU)

ABSTRACT Introduction: Nurses play the independent, dependent and interdependent roles to care; the practice environment directly affects the performance of these roles and thus the outcomes of care. Objective: To compare the performance of the independent role of nurses and the practice environment in a group of inpatient services in both private and public clinic institutions. Methods: Descriptive comparative study, purposive sample of 210 nurses. Data was collected through the Multinational Survey on the Relationship between the Professional Role of the Nurse and his/her workplace, and the analysis was made through strategies of univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: 72 percent of nurses reported that their main role is to oversee the care of others. Not differing significantly according to the nature of the institution, nurses spend much of their time performing actions not directly related to their professional role by limiting the time for direct care. There is a difference between public and private clinic institutions regarding the score given by nurses to the practice environment of their institution (p-value: 0.000). Conclusions: It is identified a need to assess the achievement of the independent role and the practice environmental factors to implement measures that foster the quality and safety of care(AU)
