“…The current study observed that the GI intervention, which supported independent decision‐making regarding their lives, increased the patients' general comfort level. Previous literature includes several studies on GI, which is one of the disciplines in complementary medicine, with positive results that support the results of the current study 19,31–35,38,41 . This result confirmed our hypothesis, which is stated as follows: “GI intervention after open‐heart surgery increases postoperative comfort.” Anxiety and pain, which are the physical and psychospiritual dimensions of the comfort theory, 9,10 are the most frequent constituents of scenarios wherein GI interventions are applied, yielding positive, statistically significant results supporting the use of GI in medicine 41 …”

“…41 Oxman et al (1995) reported that in older cardiac surgery patients, the lack of participation in social groups and the absence of strength and comfort from religion increased the probability of mortality within the 6-month after surgery by over threefold each, even after controlling for the history of previous surgery, presurgical functional impairment, and age. 42 In the current study, the rationale behind the phenomenon of improved comfort levels in the patients who received the GI intervention may be attributed to the fact that the intervention allowed them to have a sense of control over their own life, which could also be employed in their future. In fact, this is the mainstay of complementary medicine.…”

Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the effects of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and guided imagery on postoperative pain and comfort after openheart surgery.Methods: In the current, prospective, randomized, single-blind clinical study, the participants received NLP with a new behavior formation technique or the guided imagery relaxation technique using an audio compact disc for a duration of 30 min. Results:The patients in the NLP group had significantly lower posttest pain levels, compared to the patients in the guided imagery and control groups. Moreover, the patients in the guided imagery group had significantly higher posttest comfort levels, compared to the patients in the NLP and control groups. Conclusion: The application of both NLP and guided imagery interventions resulted in reduced postoperative pain and increased postoperative comfort levels after open-heart surgery.

“…As enfermeiras orientavam e distribuíam o "kit" para os pacientes avaliados com dor na unidade oncológica. Esse programa de cuidado foi utilizado com objetivo de amenizar a dor durante o período de tratamento oncológico (BLACKBURN et al, 2019) e obteve resultados positivos na redução da dor após 24 horas do uso do "kit".…”

“…Nesse contexto, o Conselho Federal de Enfermagem (COFEN), por meio do parecer informativo nº 004/95, respalda e aprova no exercício legal da enfermeira, o emprego das terapias alternativas complementares no cuidado aos pacientes (COFEN, 2019). Sob esta perspectiva, a enfermeira que está em contato mais próximo com os pacientes em tratamento de câncer, é a responsável por ofertar as melhores formas de tratamento, além de integrar as terapias como um meio de suporte (BLACKBURN et al, 2019).…”

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as evidências disponíveis na literatura acerca do uso das terapias complementares por enfermeiros para o tratamento do câncer. Estudo de revisão integrativa, cuja busca ocorreu no Portal Regional da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, na Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, na National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health e na Scientific Electronic Library Online, no mês de outubro de 2019. Foram incluídos artigos nos idiomas português, espanhol ou inglês, publicados entre 2006 a 2018. Foram encontrados 121 artigos e após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão compuseram o corpus da revisão 11 artigos. A análise originou cinco categorias: “Crenças”; “Percepções e experiências”; “Conhecimentos”; “Atitudes e práticas” e “Intervenções”. Os resultados evidenciaram que o uso das terapias complementares por enfermeiros para o tratamento do câncer são indicadas, na maioria das vezes, com base nas suas crenças.

“…Biobehavioral strategies were promoted with "comfort kits" and "comfort & coping" care plans. 54 Of the eight different health care systems participating in the Pediatric Pain PRN Train-the-Trainer Courses, three systems are now certified as Childkind (childkindinternational.org), certifying these institutions for excellence in pediatric pain care, and five pediatric PRN programs have been started in three states.…”

Introduction: Cultural transformation is needed for health care to be sensitive to children's pain. The Pediatric Pain Practice Registered Nurses (PRN) Curriculum is the first free, open access, downloadable, interprofessional pain continuing education (IPPCE) curriculum developed to empower health care professionals to translate evidence-based pain care into clinical practice. To evaluate the curriculum and its experiential flipped-learning strategies, we used a mixed methods approach. Methods: Interprofessional pediatric teams from eight health care systems evaluated the curriculum after attending Pediatric Pain PRN Courses in the Fall of 2017 (N = 90). Qualitative methods were used to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and utility of the curriculum and IPPCE strategies. Pain knowledge and attitudes were measured pre-IPPCE/post-IPPCE with the Pediatric Healthcare Provider's Knowledge & Attitude Survey Regarding Pain (PHPKAS). Web analytics were used to describe dissemination for the first year after the curriculum's webpage launch.Results: Learners rated their achievement of course objectives as moderate-great. PHPKAS scores significantly increased (P < .0005); but significant differences in physician and nurse PHPKAS question responses pre-IPPCE/post-IPPCE were found. Within 2 years of the IPPCE, three health care systems were certified as Childkind Hospitals, five Pediatric Pain PRN Programs were established, and various practice changes and improved patient outcomes, such as decreased hospital lengths of stay and emergency department returns for pain, were realized. Curriculum dissemination was global. Discussion: Results support the acceptability, effectiveness, feasibility, utility, and global dissemination of the curriculum and IPPCE strategies. More rigorous patient outcome data are needed; however, this study demonstrated the benefit of a free, openaccess, downloadable, interprofessional health care provider continuing education curriculum.
