The educational programme with telephone follow-up is a promising intervention as it led to reduction in anxiety for those receiving the educational programme. Further improvements in timing and focus of the educational programme, such as targeting emotional and social lifestyle changes, might be warranted.

Objective to investigate the associations of preoperative anxiety and depression symptoms with postoperative complications and with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients submitted to the first coronary artery bypass graft.Method observational, analytical and longitudinal study. A consecutive non-probabilistic sample consisted of patients submitted to coronary artery bypass graft. To evaluate the symptoms, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used. tracheal intubation for more than 48 hours, hemodynamic instability, sensorineural deficit, agitation, hyperglycemia, infection, nausea, vomiting, pain and death were classified as complications. The Mann-Whitney and Spearman Correlation tests were used, with a significance level of 0.05.Results a total of 75 patients participated. The group that presented hemodynamic instability in the postoperative period had a greater median for the anxiety symptoms (p = 0.012), as well as the women (p = 0.028). The median of the depression symptoms was higher in the group presenting nausea (p = 0.002), agitation (p <0.001), tracheal intubation for more than 48 hours (p = 0.018) and sensorineural deficit (p = 0.016).Conclusion there was association of the symptoms of preoperative anxiety with hemodynamic instability in the postoperative period and with the female gender, as well as association of depression symptoms with the following complications: nausea, agitation, time of intubation in the postoperative period and sensorineural deficit.

Objective: to evaluate the correlation between the practice of Coaching Leadership performed by nursing coordinators and job satisfaction, in the self-perception of coordinators and the perception of nursing technicians of the Mobile Emergency Care Service. Method: a descriptive, correlational study that used the Questionnaire on Self-Perception of the Nurse in the Exercise of Leadership to measure the self-perception of leadership of the eleven nursing coordinators and the Questionnaire on Nursing Technician Perception in the Exercise of Leadership to verify the perception of 155 nurse technicians. The Job Satisfaction Questionnaire assessed job satisfaction in both categories. Correlations among instrument domains were determined using the Spearman test (p<0.05) and the association was analyzed. Results: the Coaching Leadership exercise correlated with job satisfaction (p-value=0.001), both in the self-perception of nursing coordinators, with high correlation (Spearman coefficient - (0.835), and in the perception of nursing technicians, with moderate association (Spearman coefficient - 0.678). Conclusion: coaching Leadership showed a positive correlation with job satisfaction, marked by mutual trust, continuous interaction between nurse and nursing technicians, and the pursuit of professional and personal development.

O objetivo da investigação foi classificar os pacientes segundo o risco de complicações e mortalidade após cirurgias cardíacas eletivas, utilizando o Sistema de Escore Clínico de Risco de Tuman. Estudo descritivo, desenvolvido em um hospital universitário do interior de São Paulo, Brasil, entre agosto de 2013 e fevereiro de 2015. Uma amostra consecutiva e não probabilística foi constituída por pacientes submetidos à primeira cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio e/ou cirurgias para correção de valvulopatias, e com agendamento eletivo de suas cirurgias. Resultados: participaram 125 pacientes. A maioria apresentou baixo risco para o desenvolvimento de complicações pós-operatórias e mortalidade (n=110; 88%). É esperada uma taxa de complicação pós-operatória de 14,6% e uma taxa de 3,3% de mortalidade para esses pacientes. Nessa pesquisa, a maioria dos pacientes submetidos pela primeira vez às cirurgias cardíacas eletivas apresentou baixo risco para o desenvolvimento de complicações pós-operatórias e mortalidade.

Objective: to investigate stressors perceived by patients in the immediate postoperative of cardiac surgery and their association with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Method: a prospective correlational study conducted in a city in São Paulo, between August 2013 and December 2014. A non-probabilistic sample included patients submitted to their fi rst coronary artery bypass graft or mitral valve surgery. The "Environmental Stressor Questionnaire" adapted to Portuguese was used. Results: 105 patients participated in the study. The item "being thirsty" was evaluated as the most stressful and "the nursing staff member does not introduce himself/herself by the name" as the least stressful. Among sociodemographic and clinical variables (gender, age, type and time of surgery, pain, intubation time, use of psychotropic medications and length of stay in the intensive care unit), only pain presented a signifi cant association with the stressors. Conclusion: knowing stressors can help implement practices associated with their reduction, favoring patients' recovery.

RESUMO Objetivo: investigar os estressores percebidos pelos pacientes no pós-operatório imediato de cirurgia cardíaca e sua relação com características sociodemográfi cas e clínicas. Método: estudo correlacional, prospectivo, desenvolvido no interior paulista, entre agosto/2013 e dezembro/2014. Uma amostra não probabilística foi constituída por pacientes submetidos à primeira cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio e/ou correção de valvulopatias. Utilizamos a "Escala de Avaliação de Estressores em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva". Resultados: participaram 105 pacientes. O item avaliado como mais estressante foi "ter sede", e o menos estressante foi "membro da equipe de enfermagem não se apresentar pelo nome". Das variáveis sociodemográfi cas e clínicas investigadas (sexo, idade, tipo e tempo de cirurgia, dor, tempo de entubação, uso de psicotrópico e tempo na unidade de terapia intensiva), apenas dor apresentou relação signifi cativa com os estressores. Conclusão: conhecer os estressores pode auxiliar na implementação de práticas relacionadas à sua redução, favorecendo a recuperação dos pacientes.

This study aimed to investigate health-related quality of life based on the four weeks antecedent to first admission for acute coronary syndrome and describe potential associations between quality of life, gender and prior treatment for any other cardiovascular condition. An exploratory, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in two public hospitals in an inner state city of the State of São Paulo. Of 253 participants studied, 69.2% were male, 69.6% were married or living with a partner, and 58.1% were professionally active before the current hospital admission. Mean age was 57.9 years old. Higher scores were seen in the Social Functioning ( x =86.1) domain, while the domain perceived as more compromised was Role Physical ( x =57.7). Female participants and those who had previously been treated for any other cardiovascular condition had lower quality of life, and these differences were all statistically significant (p<0.05). Calidad de vida relacionada a la salud de sujetos internados, como consecuencia del primer síndrome coronario agudoEl objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud, basada en las últimas cuatro semanas que antecedieron a la primera internación, por un síndrome coronario agudo, y describir potenciales asociaciones entre la calidad de vida, sexo y tratamiento previo para otras enfermedades cardiovasculares. Como método, se utilizó el estudio descriptivo y exploratorio, de tipo transversal, realizado en dos hospitales públicos en el interior del Estado de Sao Paulo. De los 253 sujetos estudiados, 69,2% eran hombres, 69,6% casados, o vivían con un compañero, y 58,1% eran profesionalmente activos antes de la internación. La edad promedio fue de 57,9 años. Los mayores puntajes obtenidos fueron en el dominio aspectos sociales ( x =86,1), en cuanto el dominio más comprometido fue aspectos físicos ( x =57,7). Se concluye que las mujeres, así como los sujetos que ya hacían tratamiento previo para otras enfermedades cardiovasculares, presentaron peor calidad de vida, y las diferencias fueron todas estadísticamente significativas (p<0,05).

OBJECTIVE: this study investigated the association of somatic and cognitive-affective symptoms with sex and age, among patients hospitalized with heart disease. METHOD: this study was a secondary analysis of two previous observational studies totaling 531 patients with heart disease, hospitalized from 2005 to 2011 in two public hospitals in Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, Brazil. Somatic and cognitive-affective symptoms were assessed using the subscales of the Beck Depression Inventory - I (BDI-I). RESULTS: of 531 participants, 62.7% were male, with a mean age 57.3 years (SD= 13.0) for males and 56.2 years (SD= 12.1) for females. Analyses of variance showed an effect of sex (p<0.001 for somatic and p=0.005 for cognitive-affective symptoms), but no effect of age. Women presented with higher mean values than men in both BDI-I subscales: 7.1 (4.5) vs. 5.4 (4.3) for somatic, and 8.3 (7.9) vs. 6.7 (7.2) for cognitive-affective symptoms. There were no differences by age for somatic (p=0.84) or cognitive-affective symptoms (p=0.84). CONCLUSION: women hospitalized with heart disease had more somatic and cognitive-affective symptoms than men. We found no association of somatic and cognitive-affective symptoms with age. Future research for these patients could reveal whether these differences according to sex continue throughout the rehabilitation process.
