Objetivo: Validar clínicamente un álbum serial sobre la prevención del pie diabético con usuarios de un servicio de salud. Métodos: Se trata de un estudio metodológico, con una muestra de 30 pacientes de una unidad secundaria especializada de salud de la capital cearense, quienes estaban en seguimiento para Diabetes Mellitus y tratamiento de sus complicaciones. Los datos se recopilaron en mayo de 2019 a través de una entrevista que contenía preguntas relacionadas con cifras de la tecnología en Salud. Para la validación del álbum se utilizó el Índice de Validez de Contenido (IVC), las variables fueron sometidas a prueba estadística de Normalidad de Shapiro-Wilk, adoptando la mediana cuando p <0.05. El análisis de los datos se realizó con el software IBM SPSS Statistics. Resultados: Los criterios evaluados obtuvieron valores superiores a 0,80 según el Índice de Validez de Contenido en los cuatro dominios: organización, contenido, atractivo y persuasión, siendo los dominios “contenido” y “atractivo” los más positivos en las respuestas de los encuestados. Conclusión: El álbum ha sido validado clínicamente con buena aceptación por parte de los pacientes, representando una tecnología confiable y relevante para su uso por parte de los profesionales de la salud en todos los aspectos analizados.
Objective: to identify the scientific evidence on herbal medicines used in treating diabetic foot in older adults. Methods: an integrative review conducted in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System, SCOPUS, EMBASE, Web of Science and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature databases. The Rayyan platform was used as a supporting tool for archiving, organizing and selecting articles. Results: the search resulted in 158 articles. After identifying, selecting, evaluating eligibility, systematization and performing a full reading of the articles, the final sample consisted of 10 articles. We identified herbal medicines derived from Calendula officinalis, Ageratina pichinchensis, Phellodendron chinense, Curcumin phytosome, Capsicum spp., Rehmannia Glutinosa and Astragalus membranaceus. Conclusion: investigations of herbal compounds derived from four plants used in treating diabetic foot in older adults predominated. Considerations for practice: supported by legislation, nurses can guide users interested in using phytotherapy as an accessible solution with proven efficacy.
Objectives: to verify sociodemographic, academic and health risk factors for Central Nervous System drug use among nursing students. Methods: a cross-sectional study with 199 public undergraduate students from Ceará, using Characterization Instrument, Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory. Fischer’s exact test and Pearson’s chi-square test were performed, verifying an association between variables. Prevalence ratio was used. Results: a total of 34 used such drugs, with predominance of use of anxiolytics, associated with age (p=0.026), dissatisfaction with the relationship between classmates (p=0.003), insomnia (p=0.009), chronic disease (p=0.001), depression (p=0.035), and severe anxiety (p=0.023). Conclusions: using Central Nervous System drugs among students was associated with sociodemographic, academic and health factors, evidencing the need for actions promoting undergraduate students’ mental health.
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.
