A ansiedade foi avaliada em dois momentos: antes e após a intervenção. O instrumento utilizado foi o construído e validado por Suriano, composto por 19 características definidoras do diagnóstico de enfermagem ansiedade.

Alterações do nível pressórico e fatores de risco em graduandos de enfermagem* ABSTRACTObjectives: To identify risk factors and alterations in blood pressure levels in undergraduate nursing students and to examine the associations between the risk factors and blood pressure levels. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between November 2006 and May 2007. The sample consisted of 120 undergraduate nursing students from the Federal University of São Paulo. A specific questionnaire on risk factors for high blood pressure was used. Blood pressure measures were taken and recorded. Fisher's exact test was used to determine associations between risk factors and high blood pressure. Results: The majority of participants (92.5%) had normal blood pressure levels. A few students had high (4.2%) or borderline (3.3%) blood pressure levels. Students had some of the risk factors for high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. Conclusion: There is a need to emphasize lifestyle changes among those future nurses.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate expected outcomes of nursing interventions to address the nursing diagnosis of fatigue. METHODS: A cross-sectional quasi-experimental design was used. The sample consisted of 30 coronary care unit in-patient with congestive heart failure and fatigue. A specific tool designed for this study was used to collect specific data on outcomes of nursing interventions to manage the nursing diagnosis of fatigue. RESULTS: Nursing interventions to manage patients' fatigue had positive outcomes. CONCLUSION: The use of the nursing process to identify the nursing diagnosis of fatigue, design and implement specific nursing interventions, and evaluate patient outcomes leads to quality nursing care.
PURPOSE To examine the prevalence of nursing diagnoses among hospitalized patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). METHODS Patients in the cardiology unit with a diagnosis of CHF types I–IV (N= 26) were surveyed using an investigator‐developed data collection tool to determine the nursing diagnoses common to this patient population. FINDINGS Activity intolerance was present in 100% of patients regardless of severity of CHF. Fluid volume excess was present in 79% of patients with types I and II, and in 92% with types II and IV. Sleep pattern disturbance occurred in 80% with types I and II, and in 90% with types II and IV. CONCLUSIONS CHF is considered a syndrome having several signs and symptoms, which evidences the need for language standardization and systematic nursing assistance.
