Método: Revisión integradora de la literatura de artículos publicados entre los años 1989 al 2012 en las bases de datos LILACS, SciElO, MEDLINE y Web of Science. Resultados: La muestra final estuvo compuesta por setenta y un artículos. Entre los factores de riesgo de caídas indicados en esta revisión están los relacionados con el paciente (intrínsecos), con el ambiente hospitalario y con el proceso de trabajo de los profesionales de la salud, especialmente enfermería (extrínse-cos). Conclusión: La detección sistemática de factores de riesgo asociados a caídas fue identificada como un factor que contribuye a la reducción de este daño, favoreciendo de esta manera su no ocurrencia, la que a pesar de ser prevenible puede acarrear consecuencias graves, incluyendo la muerte.

Método: Revisão integrativa realizada nas bases de dados LILACS, SciELO, MEDLINE e Web of Science, abrangendo artigos publicados entre 1989 e 2012. Resultados: Setenta e um artigos compuseram a amostra final do estudo. Os fatores de risco para quedas apresentados nesta revisão foram relacionados ao paciente (intrínsecos), ao ambiente hospitalar e ao processo de trabalho dos profissionais da saúde, em especial à enfermagem (extrínsecos). Conclusão: A triagem sistemática de fatores de risco para queda foi identificada como fator contribuinte para a redução desse agravo, auxiliando a não ocorrência deste evento que, apesar de ser prevenível, pode determinar consequên-cias graves incluindo o óbito. DESCRITORES Acidentes por quedas Pacientes internados Hospitalização Segurança do paciente Cuidados de enfermagem Revisão ABSTRACTObjective: Identifying risk factors for the occurrence of falls in hospitalized adult patients. Method: Integrative review carried out in the databases of LILACS, SciELO, ME-DLINE and Web of Science, including articles published between 1989 and 2012. Results: Seventy-one articles were included in the final sample. Risk factors for falls presented in this review were related to patients (intrinsic), the hospital setting and the working process of health professionals, especially in nursing (extrinsic). Conclusion: The systematic screening of risk factors for falls was identified as a contributing factor to the reduction of this injury, helping the nonoccurrence of this event that, despite being preventable, can have serious consequences including death.

AIM: to evaluate the clinical applicability of outcomes, according to the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) in the evolution of orthopedic patients with Impaired Physical Mobility METHOD: longitudinal study conducted in 2012 in a university hospital, with 21 patients undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty, evaluated daily by pairs of trained data collectors. Data were collected using an instrument containing five Nursing Outcomes, 16 clinical indicators and a five point Likert scale, and statistically analyzed. RESULTS: The outcomes Body Positioning: self-initiated, Mobility, Knowledge: prescribed activity, and Fall Prevention Behavior presented significant increases in mean scores when comparing the first and final evaluations (p<0.001) and (p=0.035). CONCLUSION: the use of the NOC outcomes makes it possible to demonstrate the clinical progression of orthopedic patients with Impaired Physical Mobility, as well as its applicability in this context.

A experiência da cirurgia é causadora de estresse e ansiedade ao paciente e sua família. A orientação pré-operatória realizada pela enfermeira diminui a insegurança desses pacientes. Nosso objetivo foi conhecer a opinião dos pacientes sobre a orientação fornecida pela enfermeira no pré-operatório em relação ao enfrentamento do período perioperatório. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória descritiva, de abordagem qualitativa, onde foram entrevistados nove pacientes hospitalizados, em pós-operatório de cirurgia abdominal, no período de março a abril de 2008. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas para a análise do conteúdo. Foram estabelecidas três categorias: Agora eu não estou lembrando, mas foi coisa boa..., onde registramos que os pacientes pouco lembravam do que lhes tinha sido dito, sendo necessários constantes estímulos para obter respostas. A segunda categoria, O doutor também conversou..., destaca a lembrança dos pacientes quanto a orientação do médico, o que enfatiza o poder do seu discurso. Na terceira categoria, Me cuidam muito bem, nada ficou faltando, é referido que a orientação ajudou no enfrentamento embora não se sentissem à vontade para opinar e sugerir o que poderia ser modificado na orientação. A pesquisa propõe discutir e revisar esta atividade da enfermeira.

Objective:to analyze the quality of nursing documentation by comparing the periods before and after the preparation for the hospital accreditation, using the Quality of Nursing Diagnoses, Interventions and Outcomes - Brazilian version (Q-DIO- Brazilian version). Method:observational study of interventions conducted in a university hospital. Nursing documentation of 112 medical records for the period before and 112 for the period after the hospital accreditation were compared using the Q-DIO instrument - Brazilian version. Data were statistically analyzed. Results:there was a significant improvement in the quality of nursing documentation. When the total score of the instrument was evaluated, a significant improvement was observed in 24 out of the 29 items (82.8%). Conclusion:there was commitment to the shift of culture by means of the interventions carried out, which resulted in the conquest of the quality seal ensured by the Joint Commission International.

The objective of this study was to validate the Nursing Outcomes (NO) from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) for the two Nursing Diagnoses (ND) most frequent in hospitalized surgical, clinical and critical patients. The content validation of the REs was performed adapting the Fehring Model. The sample consisted of 12 expert nurses. The instrument for data collection consisted of the NOs proposed by NOC for the two NDs in the study, its definition and a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The NOs that obtained averages of 0.80 or higher were validated. The ND Risk for Infection was the most frequent, being validated eight (38.1%) of 21 NOs proposed by the NOC. The ND Self-Care Deficit: Bathing/Hygiene was the second most frequent and five (14.28%) out of 35 NOs were validated.

This is a descriptive study which aimed to characterize the profile, risk factors, and Nursing Diagnoses (NDs) of adult patients who have fallen from bed during hospitalization. We analyzed 53 reports of bed falls, during the period from December 2009 to May 2010, in a big hospital. Results showed higher occurrence in male patients. Greater prevalence occurred in patients age 60 and above, during the night shift and the clinical unit. Only 13% presented the "Risk for falls" ND, although they had on average of 11 risk factors for it. Findings resemble what is described in world literature, reinforcing the need to install preventive measures for falls and to mitigate risks.
