“…Studies concerning the investigation of the prevalence and impact of LUTS may contribute to improve health promotion and the quality of the care provided to the most affected groups, such as women, who, according to some findings, are affected by UI in a proportion of two to one in relation to men. 29 Therefore, as nursing is a profession predominantly performed by women, 30,31 nurses constitute a risk group for the development of these symptoms. Accordingly, the prevalence was shown to be high among nursing staff, with the most frequently investigated symptoms being unspecified UI, SUI, UUI, MUI, and OAB.…”

Aim To investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and impact of pelvic floor dysfunctions in female nurses. Design A systematic review. Data Sources Searches were conducted in the following five electronic databases: PubMed/Medline, LILACS, SCIELO, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL. There were no period or language limitations. Review Methods Data extraction and synthesis were conducted and the appraisal of the quality of the studies was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool checklist for prevalence data. Results A total of 15 studies were included. The symptoms investigated were lower urinary tract symptoms, including urinary incontinence and its subtypes, sexual dysfunctions, constipation, faecal incontinence, and dual incontinence. Overall, prevalence ranged from 9.9% to 89.6%. Associated factors related to occupational roles were lifting heavy weights and poor bladder habits. Quality of life was significantly worse for nurses with pelvic floor disorders. Conclusion Pelvic floor dysfunctions are very common among female nurses, considerably affecting their quality of life. Additional studies are needed to investigate the impact on work productivity, causal relationships with the occupation and the performance of prevention and treatment interventions directed toward this population.

“…The placebo effect is a psychobiological phenomenon characterized by the response of a subject to a substance or procedure known to have no therapeutic effect [12]. The placebo method may affect a wide variety of subjective, behavioral and physiological responses [13] and may be related to an expectation of clinical improvement [14,16,18].…”

“…To date, no studies with TENS application for complaints of sensitivity-related discomfort have been found in the available literature, specifically on the path of ICBN after surgery for treatment of breast cancer. In addition, assessing healthrelated quality of life has been recommended in several clinical situations [17,18] And in women undergoing surgical treatment for breast cancer, this evaluation may reflect how some functional limitations and the presence of symptoms in the homolateral limb may interfere with the daily life of these [3,5].…”

Introduction: After breast cancer surgery, many women may present quality of life (QOL) impairment due to the presence of discomfort as dysesthesia in the anterolateral region of the chest, armpit and/or medial part of the arm caused by intercostobrachial nerve injury (ICBN). Objective: To investigate the effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on dysesthesia intensity at the intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN) dermatome and QOL in women after breast cancer surgery. Methods: A randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled clinical trial was conducted. Women undergoing axillary lymphadenectomy (AL), with dysesthesia on ICBN dermatome were included. Patients were divided into active and placebo TENS groups. TENS was applied with a frequency of 100 Hz, pulse duration of 100 µs and amplitude at the highest sensory intensity tolerable for 20 minutes during 20 sessions, three times a week, on alternating days. In the placebo TENS group, electrical current was delivered only during the first 45 seconds of application. Skin sensitivity was assessed by esthesiometry. Dysesthesia intensity was assessed with a visual analogue scale (VAS) and QOL with the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the specific EORTC QLQ-BR23 which is the Breast Cancer Module. Results: VAS decreased significantly over the 20 sessions in the active TENS group (p<0.006) and no difference was found between groups. There weren’t significant differences in EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 after 20 sessions or between groups. Conclusion: TENS decreased dysesthesia intensity in the ICBN dermatome after breast cancer surgery, but did not improve quality of life.

“…Esta patología afecta negativamente a la calidad de vida de mujeres en etapa reproductiva, con un 20,4% de prevalencia en el climaterio; sin embargo, tiene un impacto más significativo cuando se llega a la edad media de 48 años, que suele coincidir con la instauración de la menopausia de la mayoría de las mujeres. Cuando avanzamos en edad cronológica, encontramos que la prevalencia en personas mayores de 70 años es mayor al 20%, llegando a un 89,53% en aquellas mujeres que son mayores, dependientes y se encuentran en residencias [1][2][3][4][5] .…”

frecuencia en el sexo femenino y conforme aumenta la edad, provocando una disminución de la calidad de vida.Objetivo: Sintetizar la evidencia científica relacionada con las causas, tratamiento y cuidados de enfermería en la incontinencia urinaria.Metodología: Se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica sistematizada en las bases de datos Proquest, Pubmed, Google Académico y Scielo, utilizando como términos "incontinencia urinaria" (urinary incontinence), "factoresde riesgo" (risk factor), "intervenciones de enfermería"(nursing intervention) y "procedimientos terapeúticos"(therapeutics), con una limitación de 5 años en la búsqueda. Se incluyeron estudios experimentales y de revisión.Resultados: Se incluyeron 26 artículos: 5 estudios experimentales,18 revisiones sistemáticas y 3 metaanálisis.La incontinencia urinaria está relacionada con la edad, sexo y factores de riesgo, dependiendo del tipo e intensidad de la incontinencia, y características propias del paciente. El abordaje es interdisciplinar, con técnicasmenos invasivas al principio, entre las que destacan la terapia conductual y los ejercicios del suelo pélvico; necesitándose cirugía en algunos casos, según las circunstanciasindividuales de los pacientes y/o la no existenciade mejoría con las técnicas menos invasivas.Conclusiones: La incontinencia urinaria se encuentra estrechamente relacionada con la edad y el sexo; sin embargo, la existencia de factores de riesgo y algunas causas pueden contribuir a aumentar las probabilidadesde su establecimiento. La labor enfermera resulta prometedora en el establecimiento de una detección y actuación precoz ante el problema, teniendo como base siempre para el tratamiento el menor grado de invasión.
