Contexto: O reconhecimento da qualidade dos instrumentos que procuram verificar e avaliar um fenómeno através do processo de validação de conteúdo, é fundamental para a legitimidade e credibilidade dos resultados de uma pesquisa. Objetivos: Investigar a aplicação do modelo de validação de conteúdo de Pasquali nas pesquisas brasileiras em Enfermagem nos últimos cinco anos. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa de literatura realizada no período de julho a agosto de 2013, nas bases de dados Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Base de Dados de Enfermagem (BDENF), com uso de descritores controlados e não-controlados. Resultados: Os estudos adotaram o referencial metodológico de Pasquali baseados nos três procedimentos (teóricos, empíricos e analíticos), que exigiu o cumprimento de etapas, tais como construção do instrumento, parecer dos juízes e aplicação de procedimentos estatísticos para a validação de conteúdo. Conclusão: O processo de validação de conteúdo ocorreu no procedimento teórico e houve associação a outros tipos de validação para percorrer os procedimentos empíricos e analíticos, a fim de alcançar uma validação eficaz. Palabras clave: estudios de validación; investigación en enfermería; enfermería. Background: The recognition of the quality of instruments that aim at verifying and assessing a given phenomenon, through the process of content validation, is essential for the legitimacy and credibility of research results. Objectives: To analyse the application of the Pasquali's model of content validation to Brazilian research studies in the Nursing field conducted over the past five years. Methodology: Integrative literature review performed between July and August, 2013, using the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature database (LILACS) and Nursing Database (BDENF), with controlled and uncontrolled descriptors. Results: The studies adopted the Pasquali's methodological reference model based on three procedures (theoretical, empirical, and analytical). This required the completion of different steps, such as the construction of the instrument, feedback from judges and application of statistical procedures for content validation. Conclusion: The process of content validation occurred during the theoretical procedure, in association with other types of validation to comply with the empirical and analytical procedures and achieve an effective validation.

Objectives: to investigate the association between the scores of the patient safety climate and socio-demographic and professional variables. Methods: an observational, sectional and quantitative study, conducted at a large public teaching hospital. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire was used, translated and validated for Brazil. Data analysis used the software Statistical Package for Social Sciences. In the bivariate analysis, we used Student's t-test, analysis of variance and Spearman's correlation of (α=0.05). To identify predictors for the safety climate scores, multiple linear regression was used, having the safety climate domain as the main outcome (α=0.01). Results: most participants were women, nursing staff, who worked in direct care to adult patients in critical areas, without a graduate degree and without any other employment. The average and median total score of the instrument corresponded to 61.8 (SD=13.7) and 63.3, respectively. The variable professional performance was found as a factor associated with the safety environment for the domain perception of service management and hospital management (p=0.01). Conclusion: the identification of factors associated with the safety environment permits the construction of strategies for safe practices in the hospitals.

Estudo descritivo, transversal desenvolvido com objetivo de associar aspectos socio demográficos e clínicos aos domínios de qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS), para avaliar pacientes onco-hematológicos submetidos à quimioterapia. Na coleta de dados utilizou-se um instrumento sociodemográfico e clínico e o European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC) QLQ-C-30. A amostra foi constituída de 32 pacientes, sendo oito (25%) com diagnóstico de linfoma de Hodgkin, nove (28,12%) linfoma não Hodgkin e 15 (46,87%) leucemia. Os dados foram analisados pelo software Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). O QLQ-C-30 mostrou média das funções física, cognitiva, emocional, social e desempenho de papel de 54,81 a 41,18, demonstrando um nível pouco satisfatório. Nas escalas de sintomas, houve predomínio de fadiga média 64,57 seguida de insônia (56,90) e perda de apetite (50,71). Esses sintomas interferiram nas funções físicas, emocionais e cognitivas demonstrando que efeitos colaterais do tratamento influenciam negativamente na QVRS dos pacientes.

Objectives:to evaluate and classify patients according to the Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries; verify the association between sociodemographic and clinical variables and the risk score; and identify the occurrence of pressure injuries due to surgical positioning. Method:observational, longitudinal, prospective and quantitative study carried out in a teaching hospital with 278 patients submitted to elective surgeries. A sociodemographic and clinical characterization questionnaire and the Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries were used. Descriptive, bivariate and logistic regression analyses were applied. Results:the majority of patients (56.5%) presented a high risk for perioperative pressure injury. Female sex, elderly group, and altered body mass index values were statistically significant (p < 0.05) for a higher risk of pressure injuries. In 77% of the patients, there were perioperative pressure injuries. Conclusion:most of the participants presented a high risk for development of perioperative decubitus ulcers. The female sex, elderly group, and altered body mass index were significant factors for increased risk. The Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Pressure Injuries allows the early identification of risk of injury, subsidizing the adoption of preventive strategies to ensure the quality of perioperative care.

Objective to evaluate the effect of relaxation therapy with guided imagery on state anxiety and cortisol in the immediate preoperative period in patients submitted to bariatric surgery by videolaparoscopy.Method a randomized, triple-blind clinical trial in a large teaching hospital in the interior of Minas Gerais. Twenty-four patients who would undergo video-laparoscopic bariatric surgery were randomly allocated in two groups, namely 12 in the control group and 12 in the experimental group. State anxiety was assessed by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and blood cortisol levels were measured before and after the intervention or standard care. Descriptive analyzes were used for the quantitative variables and Student’s t-test for independent samples, in the analysis of the differences between the state anxiety scores and cortisol levels.Results the experimental group presented a statistically significant reduction of the state anxiety scores (p = 0.005) as well as of cortisol levels (p <0.001) after the intervention.Conclusion guided imagery relaxation therapy is an effective nursing intervention for the reduction of state anxiety and blood cortisol levels in the preoperative period in patients undergoing video-laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Nº 24 Octubre 2011Página 1 CLÍNICA Aparición de complicaciones relacionadas con el uso del catéter venoso central de inserción periférica (PICC) en los recién nacidosOcorrência de complicações relacionadas ao uso de Cateter Venoso Central de Inserção Periférica (PICC) em recém-nascidos *Montes, SF., **Teixeira, JBA., ***Barbosa, MH., ***Barichello, E. RESUMENEste estudio retrospectivo tuvo como objetivo identificar la aparición de complicaciones asociadas al catéter central de inserción periférica (PICC) en recién nacidos (RN) en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales de octubre de 2008 a julio de 2009, en un hospital público de enseñanza de Uberaba, Minas Gerais. Se realizaron 55 procedimientos para la inserción del PICC en 41 RN que fueron hospitalizados en este período, con un promedio de 1,3 procedimientos de inserción por RN. Se evidenció que la mayoría de los RN tenían un peso bajo al nacer (1.639,5 ± 632,7 g) con una edad media gestacional de 31,9 ± 4,1 semanas. Se verificó la inserción del PICC en 15 (27,3%) en la vena safena, 13 (23,6%) en la cabeza y 10 (18,2%) en la basílica. El promedio de intentos de punción fue de 3,1 veces por procedimiento. A los Rayos X, 21 (38,2%) se encontraban en una ubicación céntrica. Se observó 17 (30,9%) obstrucción de la luz, 9 (16,4%) de ruptura del catéter y 2 (4,9%), flebitis. La duración media del PICC fue de 8,8 días. Estos hallazgos señalan la necesidad de mayores inversiones en programas de formación profesional para garantizar el manejo seguro de dispositivos intravenosos y asegurar la calidad de la asistencia de enfermería a esta población. RESUMO

Objective: To describe the evidence in the literature regarding the knowledge and practices of the nursing team about subcutaneous administration of drugs and fl uids in adults. Method: Integrative review of the literature using the descriptors "nursing", "hypodermoclysis", "drug administration routes", "adult health," and "knowledge," in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, with no publication deadline. Of the 569 articles found, eight made up the sample. Results: A predominance of international journals (75%) with more than fi ve years of publication (62.5%). The analysis of the methodological characteristics showed a predominance of literature reviews (25%), quantitative studies (62.5%), cross-sectional studies (50%), and nonexperimental studies (50%). Conclusion: Although it is an old technique with proven effi cacy, hypodermoclysis is still little used, a puzzling fact due to its advantages and indications for any age. Descriptors: Nursing; Hypodermoclysis; Drug Administration Routes; Knowledge; Practical Nursing. RESUMO Objetivo: descrever as evidências, na literatura, sobre os conhecimentos e as práticas da equipe de enfermagem na administração de medicamentos e de fl uidos por via subcutânea no adulto. Método: revisão integrativa da literatura utilizando os descritores enfermagem, hipodermóclise, vias de administração de medicamentos, saúde do adulto e conhecimento; nos idiomas inglês, espanhol e português, sem data limite de publicação. Dos 569 artigos encontrados, oito compuseram a amostra. Resultados: predomínio de revistas internacionais (75%) e com mais de cinco anos de publicação (62,5%). Ao analisarem-se as características metodológicas, predominaram: revisões de literatura (25%), estudos quantitativos (62,5%), estudos transversais (50%) e não-experimentais (50%). Conclusão: apesar de se tratar de uma técnica antiga com efi cácia comprovada, a hipodermóclise ainda é pouco utilizada, fato incoerente pelas suas vantagens e suas indicações para qualquer idade.
