O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar os indicadores de risco para a hipertensão arterial em crianças e adolescentes. Estudo transversal desenvolvido com 342 indivíduos de seis a 18 anos de uma escola da cidade de Fortaleza (CE). A maioria eram homens (51,5%). A média de idade foi 11,73 anos ( 3,19). Foram freqüentes os escolares com sobrepeso / obesidade (16,8%) e com pressão arterial acima do percentil 90 (44,7%). Sedentarismo, tabagismo e etilismo estiveram presentes em 51,5%, 38% e 15,5% dos avaliados. A pressão arterial sistólica esteve correlacionada com as variáveis: idade, peso, estatura, perímetros da cintura e do quadril, prega subescapular e Índice de Massa Corporal. Houve correlação da pressão arterial diastólica com idade, peso, estatura, perímetros da cintura e do quadril. Confirma-se a influência de fatores de risco sobre os valores da pressão arterial em jovens. A pressão arterial sistólica foi especialmente influenciada por indicadores antropométricos.
O objetivo desse estudo foi identificar a ocorrência do diagnóstico de enfermagem Risco de quedas em indivíduos idosos acometidos por acidente vascular encefálico. Estudo do tipo exploratório, realizado em unidades de reabilitação, no período de novembro de 2007 a março de 2008, por meio de entrevista e exame físico. Utilizou-se a Taxonomia II da Nursing American North Diagnosis Association quanto à nomeação diagnóstica. A população foi composta por 73 idosos com idade média de 69,5 anos, predominância do sexo feminino, baixo nível de escolaridade e renda financeira. Encontrou-se média de 1,6 episódio de acidente vascular encefálico em 2,4 anos. O diagnóstico esteve presente na totalidade dos participantes, e os fatores de risco mais percebidos foram: Força diminuída nas extremidades inferiores, Mobilidade física prejudicada, Dificuldades na marcha e Equilíbrio prejudicado. Assim, a avaliação diagnóstica contínua e individualizada faz-se imprescindível para nortear ações preventivas aos problemas de saúde dos idosos.
The study aimed to analyze the nursing interventions related to the competencies of health promotion of overweight children and adolescents in the school context, in light of the Galway Consensus through an integrative review. Articles published between 1988 and June, 2013 were found in the databases CINAHL, SCOPUS, MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane, LILACS and SciELO. A total of 139 publications were obtained from indexed descriptors. Ten articles were selected after reading. The most evident competencies for health promotion were: catalyzing change, needs assessment and impact assessment. The highlights were activities of health education and partnerships with other health professionals and the families of students. It was found that the skills of health promotion developed by nurses can contribute to the adoption of healthy habits by overweight children and adolescents.
OBJECTIVE: to develop indicators for the nursing outcome Swallowing Status and the respective conceptual and operational definitions validated by experts and in a clinical setting among patients after having experienced a stroke. METHOD: methodological study with concept analysis and content and clinical validations. The Content Validation Index was verified for the scores assigned by 11 experts to indicators. Two pairs of nurses assessed 81 patients during the clinical validation: one pair used an instrument with definitions and the other used an instrument without definitions. The resulting assessments were compared using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, Friedman's test, and Minimal Important Difference calculation. RESULTS: All the indicators, with the exception of the indicator Ability to bring food to mouth, presented Content Validation Index above 0.80. The pair using the instrument with definitions presented an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient above 0.80 for all the indicators and similarity was found in all the assessments, according to the Minimal Important Difference calculation. The pair using the instrument without definitions presented a low coefficient (ρ<0.75) for all the indicators. CONCLUSION: the results showed that greater uniformity and accuracy was achieved by the pair of nurses using the conceptual and operational definitions for the indicators of the nursing outcome Swallowing Status.
This study showed a high prevalence of "sedentary lifestyle" and its associations with age and the presence of diabetes. IMPLICATIONS TO NURSING PRACTICE: The acknowledgement of "sedentary lifestyle" contributes to the choice for nursing interventions that promote physical activity centered on the subject and the surroundings.
Objective: the study's objective was the clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis Risk for Aspiration among patients who experienced cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). Method: a prospective cohort study was conducted with 24 patients hospitalized due to a CVA. The instrument used to collect the data addressed the risk factors for respiratory aspiration, validated by concept analysis and by experts. Results: the most frequent risk factors for respiratory aspiration were: dysphagia (54.2%) and impaired physical mobility (41.7%). The prevalence of the nursing diagnosis Risk for Aspiration was 58.3% and the prevalence of respiratory aspiration over the span of 48 hours (monitoring period) was 37.5%. Risk factors for dysphagia and impaired physical mobility were significantly associated with respiratory aspiration. Conclusion: the risk factors dysphagia and impaired physical mobility are good predictors of the nursing diagnosis Risk for Aspiration. This study contributed to improving the NANDA-I Taxonomy and the systematization of the nursing process.Descriptors: Nursing; Nursing Diagnosis; Respiratory Aspiration; Stroke. Validación clínica del diagnóstico de enfermería riesgo de aspiración en pacientes con accidente cerebrovascularObjetivo: el estudio tiene como objetivo la validación clínica del diagnóstico de enfermería riesgo de aspiración en pacientes con accidente cerebrovascular. Método: un estudio de cohorte prospectivo desarrollado con 24 pacientes hospitalizados para el tratamiento del ictus agudo. El instrumento utilizado para la recolección de datos contiene los factores de riesgo de aspiración respiratoria, validado en el análisis conceptual y por expertos. Resultados: los factores de riesgo para aspiración respiratoria más presentes en los pacientes fueron: disfagia (54,2%) y disminución de la movilidad física (41,7%). La prevalencia del diagnóstico de enfermería riesgo de aspiración fue del 58,3% y la prevalencia en 48 horas (el tiempo del seguimiento) de la aspiración respiratoria fue de 37,5%. Los factores de riesgo disfagia y la disminución de la movilidad física se asociaron significativamente con la aspiración respiratoria. Conclusión: los factores de riesgo disminución de la movilidad física y disfagia son buenos predictores para el diagnóstico de enfermería riesgo de aspiración. Este trabajo permitió contribuir a la mejora de la taxonomía NANDA-I y, por lo tanto, el lenguaje de la sistematización de la atención de enfermería. MethodsThis observational study was conducted in the CVA unit of a public general tertiary hospital, a referral center Cavalcante TF, Araujo TL, Moreira RP, Guedes NG, Lopes MVO, Silva VM.medical diagnoses (aspiration pneumonia, pneumonitis and pulmonary embolism), as well as readings of X-rays.After this preliminary assessment, those who met all the inclusion criteria were assessed in terms of socio-demographic, clinical and predictor variables (risk factors) by means of interviews, physical assessments, and consultation of their medical charts. After 48 hours from the...
Objective: to investigate the association of risk factors with the Risk for aspiration nursing diagnosis and respiratory aspiration. Method: cross-sectional study assessing 105 patients with stroke. The instrument used to collect data addressing sociodemographic information, clinical variables and risk factors for Risk for aspiration. The clinical judgments of three expert RNs were used to establish the diagnosis. The relationship between variables and strength of association using Odds Ratio (OR) was verified both in regard to Risk for aspiration and respiratory aspiration. Results: risk for aspiration was present in 34.3% of the patients and aspiration in 30.5%. The following stood out among the risk factors: Dysphagia, Impaired or absent gag reflex, Neurological disorders, and Impaired physical mobility, all of which were statistically associated with Risk for aspiration. Note that patients who develop such a diagnosis were seven times more likely to develop respiratory aspiration. Conclusion: dysphagia, Impaired or absent gag reflex were the best predictors both for Risk for aspiration and respiratory aspiration.
