Objective:to evaluate the therapeutic effect of music on anxiety and vital parameters in
patients with chronic kidney disease when compared to patients receiving
conventional care in hemodialysis clinics. Method:randomized clinical trial conducted in three renal replacement therapy clinics.
Sixty people with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis were randomly
allocated to an experimental group and a control group, 30 persons per group).
State anxiety was evaluated in both groups by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. A
t-test was used to verify the effect of the experimental manipulation on the
variables. Results:we found a statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the
degree of anxiety experienced during hemodialysis sessions. The experimental group
presented a statistically significant reduction of anxiety scores (p = 0.03),
systolic blood pressure (p < 0.002), diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.002),
heart rate (p < 0.01) and respiratory rate (p < 0.006) after listening to
music. Conclusion:music represents a potential resource for nursing intervention to reduce state
anxiety during hemodialysis sessions. Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials: .
ABSTRACT:The aim was to develop a nursing care protocol for the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced mucositis at an outpatient clinic of a High Complexity Center in Oncology. A qualitative convergent-care research was undertaken. The construction of the protocol was driven by the criteria of Evidence-Based Practice. Data were collected from January to June 2013 in two steps. Firstly, we collected data on medical charts of customers to obtain sociodemographic and therapeutic data and nursing interventions performed for prevention, detection and treatment of mucositis. After this first step, workshops were held with the nurses to validate the available material and human resources, besides the feasible care to compose the protocol. Care was related to oral hygiene, mouth rinse, cryotherapy, laser therapy and interventions related to the nutritional scope. The implementation of this care protocol has standardized the care strategies.

PREVENCIÓN Y TRATAMIENTO DE LA MUCOSITIS EN AMBULATORIO DE ONCOLOGÍA: UNA CONSTRUCCIÓN COLECTIVA RESUMEN:El objetivo fue elaborar un protocolo asistencial de enfermería para prevención y tratamiento de la mucositis inducida por quimioterapia en un ambulatorio de un Centro de Alta Complejidad en Oncología. Investigación cualitativa del tipo ConvergenteAsistencial. La construcción del protocolo fue orientada por los criterios de la Práctica Basada en Evidencias. La recopilación de datos fue realizada en el periodo de enero a junio de 2013 en dos etapas. Inicialmente, recopilamos datos en los historiales médicos de los clientes, con el fin de conocer datos sociodemográficos y terapéuticos e intervenciones de enfermería para prevención, detección y tratamiento de la mucositis. Después de esta primera etapa, se procedió a la realización de talleres con las enfermeras, con miras a la validación de los recursos materiales y humanos disponibles, además de los cuidados razonables para componer el protocolo. Han surgido cuidados relacionados con la higiene oral, enjuague bucal, crioterapia, terapia láser y intervenciones relacionadas con el ámbito nutricional. La implementación de este protocolo de cuidados estandarizó las estrategias de cuidado.DESCRIPTORES: Enfermería oncológica. Quimioterapia. Mucositis. Cuidados de enfermería.
Objective: Evaluating the effectiveness of a musical intervention in reducing anxiety and vital parameters in people suffering from head and neck cancer. Method: A randomized controlled clinical trial, performed in a head and neck outpatient clinic with 40 participants, subdivided into two groups (intervention and control). The classical music "Spring" from The Four Seasons by Vivaldi was used as an intervention. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used as the data collection instrument, along with an inventory of socio-demographic and clinical data. Student's t-test was used to verify intragroup and intergroup statistical significance. Results: Participants presented a statistically significant reduction in levels of perceived anxiety (t = 12.68; p<0.001), as well as blood pressure levels (t = 4.56; p<0.001); pulse (t = 6.15; p<0.001) and respiratory rate (t = 5.10; p<0.001). Conclusion: Music has proven to be an effective non-pharmacological therapeutic resource in managing anxiety in an outpatient setting for people with cancer, as well as in reducing blood pressure, pulse and respiratory rate.

Objective:To analyze the effects of nanoparticle-based dressings on the wound healing process in in vitro animals and human cells based on scientific evidence. Method: A systematic review of the literature in LILACS, PubMed and Science Direct databases. The articles were selected and evaluated for the level of evidence by the application of STROBE. Results: The sample consisted of 12 articles. The application of the products occurred in surgical wounds, burns, infected wounds and gingival ulcers in laboratory animals, as well as in vitro tests, demonstrating that among other advantages, the nanoparticle-based dressings increased the healing speed, had good antibacterial capacity and were non cytotoxic agents. Conclusion: Based on the analyzed articles, it can be affirmed that dressings containing nanocomposites are quite promising and are shown as a great therapeutic option in wound healing.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify and synthesize scientific evidence on prevention and management of extravasation of antineoplastic agents in adult patients by nurses. Methods: scoping review, according to Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR. Research was conducted in five electronic databases, Cochrane Library and eight catalogs of theses and dissertations. Data collection occurred from April to July 2018, with no time limit. The extracted data were analyzed and synthesized in a narrative way. Results: a total of 3,110 records were retrieved and 18 studies were kept for review. Most publications (66.6%) had a qualitative approach and addressed both aspects, i.e., prevention and management of extravasation of chemotherapy in adult patients. Conclusions: the implementation of protocols based on scientific evidence on prevention and management of extravasation of antineoplastic agents is paramount in order to provide patient safety and support to the nursing staff.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
