Objective: evaluate the general and perceived self-efficacy, psychological morbidity, and knowledge about postoperative care of patients submitted to radical prostatectomy. Identify the relationships between the variables and know the predictors of self-efficacy. Method: descriptive, cross-sectional study, conducted with 76 hospitalized men. The scales used were the General and Perceived Self-efficacy Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, in addition to sociodemographic, clinical and knowledge questionnaires. Results: a negative relationship was found for self-efficacy in relation to anxiety and depression. Psychological morbidity was a significant predictor variable for self-efficacy. An active professional situation and the waiting time for surgery also proved to be relevant variables for anxiety and knowledge, respectively. Conclusion: participants had a good level of general and perceived self-efficacy and small percentage of depression. With these findings, it is possible to produce the profile of patients about their psychological needs after radical prostatectomy and, thus, allow the nursing professionals to act holistically, considering not only the need for care of physical nature, but also of psychosocial nature.
Objective to assess and summarize the best scientific evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials about telephone follow-up of patients after radical prostatectomy, based on information about how the phone calls are made and the clinical and psychological effects for the individuals who received this intervention.Method the search was undertaken in the electronic databases Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Cinahl, Lilacs and Cochrane. Among the 368 references found, five were selected.Results two studies tested interventions focused on psychological support and three tested interventions focused on the physical effects of treatment. The psychoeducative intervention to manage the uncertainty about the disease and the treatment revealed statistically significant evidences and reduced the level of uncertainty and anguish it causes.Conclusion the beneficial effects of telephone follow-up could be determined, as a useful tool for the monitoring of post-prostatectomy patients.
ResumoIntrodução: O trabalho tem papel importante na organização das vidas das pessoas na sociedade atual, podendo auxiliar no preenchimento da rotina, na elevação da autoestima, na sensação de pertencimento à sociedade e na reafirmação da cidadania. Objetivo: O presente estudo se propõe a aprofundar o tema do trabalho e suas repercussões na vida dos pacientes adultos dependentes de crack, internados na Unidade de Adição/Unidade Álvaro Alvim do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. Os dados apresentados fizeram parte de um estudo mais amplo, denominado "Aspectos cronobiológicos como preditores de adesão ao tratamento de dependentes de crack". (CEP/HCPA 13-0268). Casuística e Métodos: Entrevistaram-se 35 pacientes em tratamento e aplicados questionários sociodemográficos que permitiram conhecer a situação social, de moradia, renda, trabalho e emprego, tratamentos prévios e rede socioassistencial dos participantes. Resultados: Encontraram-se indivíduos com média de idade de 34,34±10,02 anos, em que mais da metade era representada por sujeitos solteiros, com maior predominância na religião católica (54,3%). Observou-se que a escolaridade predominante foi o ensino fundamental incompleto (37,1%), ou seja, menos de sete anos de estudo. Do total da amostra, 40% encontravam-se desempregadas e a profissão mais citada foi na construção civil (31,7%). Do total de participantes que informaram ter abandonado tratamento prévio, 14,3% haviam desistido do tratamento por motivos trabalhistas. Conclusão: A dependência de crack torna-se um fator dificultador na vida do trabalhador, ao passo que a estrutura da sociedade atual parece não tolerar/admitir as consequências da doença. O trabalho pode ser um fator protetor quando combinado com outras ações facilitadoras do processo de tratamento desses indivíduos, porém, pode ser também um fator estressor considerado a estrutura em que se baseia o processo de produção na atualidade.Descritores: Transtornos relacionados ao uso de substâncias; Cocaína crack; Trabalho; sociedades.
