“…Given the bureaucratic context experienced in the Nursing area, there is a challenge of inserting the use of the instrument appropriately, and filling it correctly, because studies have reported difficulties of implementation and adherence by professionals to use tools such as checklists in work routines (14) . However, the inclusion of the instrument to help in nursing consultations can be considered beneficial in view of the need for more effective actions, trained professionals, and effective technologies (15) .…”

“…The GCQ presents three basic human needs states: relief, tranquility and transcendence, which emerge from stressful situations in health care in the physical, sociocultural, psycho-spiritual and environmental contexts included in the 48 questions found in the measurement instrument.

Objective: to analyze the factors related to the impaired comfort of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) patients on hemodialysis. Method: this is a cross-sectional study with 80 patients undergoing hemodialysis in a renal replacement therapy unit through interviews using two instruments, one for clinical and sociodemographic characteristics and the General Comfort Questionnaire, during the hemodialysis session. Mann-Whitney tests and the logistic regression model were used for data analysis. Results: the study found that being younger (p=0.045); being married (p=0.05); and absence of impaired physical mobility (p=0.007) were contributing factors for greater comfort in CKD patients on hemodialysis. Thus, when establishing the odds ratio, it was possible to observe that being 55 years of age or older, being single and having impaired physical mobility represents a 45.7% chance of developing this diagnosis. Conclusions: sociodemographic and clinical variables contribute to the study outcome, demanding attention during the planning of nursing interventions. RESUMOObjetivo: analisar os fatores relacionados ao conforto prejudicado do paciente renal crônico hemodialítico. Método: estudo transversal com 80 pacientes sob tratamento hemodialítico em unidade de terapia renal substitutiva por meio de entrevista com aplicação de dois instrumentos, características sociodemográficas clínicas de saúde e Escala de Conforto Geral, durante sessão de hemodiálise. Utilizou-se os testes de Mann-Whitney e modelo de regressão logística para análise dos dados. Resultados: observou-se que ser mais jovem (p=0,045); estar casado (p=0,05); e ausência de mobilidade física prejudicada (p=0,007) foram fatores contribuintes para maior conforto nos pacientes renais crônicos hemodialíticos. Nesse sentido, ao estabelecer a odds ratio, foi possível observar que ter idade maior ou igual a 55 anos, estar solteiro e apresentar mobilidade física prejudicada representa 45,7% de chance de desenvolver esse diagnóstico. Conclusões: variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas contribuem para o desfecho em estudo, requerendo atenção diante do planejamento das intervenções de enfermagem.

Se utilizaron el test de Mann-Whitney y el modelo de regresión logística en el análisis de datos. Resultados: se observó que los factores que contribuyeron a una mayor sensación de comodidad en los pacientes renales crónicos hemodialíticos fueron: ser más joven (p=0,045); estar casado (p=0,05); y no tener la movilidad física perjudicada (p=0,007). En este sentido, al ...
