Objective: To discuss multilevel self-management intervention research in nursing to decrease health disparities among people living with chronic diseases.
Content synthesis: Multilevel interventions have become the core of nursing research in the last decade. However, a critical limitation of existing interventions targeting health disparities among those living with chronic diseases is the tendency to address single or individual-level factors solely.
Conclusion: Nursing research is creating knowledge that may be translated into clinical practice and promoting evidence-based and innovative self-management practices to decrease health disparities and promote health equity among people living with chronic diseases.
Objectives: Develop and validate an ordinary meeting simulation template of the Municipal Health Council applied to students of cycle II of Elementary School.
Methods: Qualitative and descriptive research developed in two phases: construction of simulation scenario of ordinary meeting of the Municipal Health Council and validation by committee of experts who analyzed the representativeness and adequacy of the content. The scenario included the items: prebriefing, additional information about the case, scenario objectives, evaluation criteria (observers), scenario duration time, human and physical resources, instructions for the actors, context, references and debriefing. In order to be able to understand which items should be modified according to the evaluations of the experts, it was used as criterion that only items that had 80% or higher percentage of agreement between the experts for modification would be modified.
Results: There was agreement to modify the prebriefing in: additional information about the case (100%); learning objectives (88.8%); human and physical resources (88.8%); context (88.8%); and in the debriefing (88.8%). The prebriefing did not reach the level of agreement: evaluation criteria (66.6%), duration of the scenario (77.7%), instruction for authors (77.7%), references (77.7%), which were modified.
Conclusions: With the template developed and then validated by the committee of experts, it will be possible to develop in the classroom content related to the right to health and social participation in the scope of elementary education, as well as encourage engagement in important bodies for the maintenance of democracy, justice and social equity.
Objectives: To explore the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing student education in one public university in Medellin, Colombia.
Methods: This descriptive qualitative study used content analysis to address the following questions: (1) How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted nursing education at the University of Antioquia? (2) What were the most important challenges experienced by nursing students? (3) What was most supportive for the students during the pandemic? and (4) What were the potential opportunities and lessons learned related to nursing education? Data were collected virtually through individual online interviews with 14 undergraduate nursing students and analysed using qualitative content analysis with constant comparisons.
Results: Four main categories of findings related to the experience of undergraduate nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic were identified: (1) transitioning to online learning, (2) managing the digital world, (3) impacts on clinical training, and (4) work-related stressors. Key challenges included home environments that were not conducive to learning, reduced social interactions with peers and faculty, accessing technology required for online education and insufficient preparation for clinical practice. Family members and university-provided resources were important sources of student support. Whereas the pandemic limited opportunities for hands-on clinical training, the shift to online learning allowed for the development of skills related to informational technologies and telehealth.
Conclusions: Undergraduate students at the University of Antioquia identified significant barriers to learning during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and transition to online learning, as well as new opportunities for the development of digital skills among both students and faculty.
Objective: To describe the care provided to the transgender population by nursing in Primary Health Care (PHC).
Methods: Integrative literature review performed in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Medline/PubMed and Web of Science (WoS) databases without a pre-established time frame, using the descriptors "transgender persons", "gender identity", "nursing care" and "primary health care".
Results: Eleven articles published between 2008-2021 were included. They were categorized as follows: Embracement and healthcare; Implementation of Public Health Policies; Weaknesses in academic training; Barriers between theory and practice. The articles showed a limited scenario of nursing care for the transgender population. The scarcity of research focused on this theme is an important sign of how care has been incipient or even non- existent in the context of PHC.
Conclusions: Structural and interpersonal stigmas materialized in discriminatory and prejudiced practices perpetrated by managers, professionals and health institutions constitute the greatest challenges to be overcome for comprehensive, equitable and humanized care provided to the transgender population by nursing.
Objective: To analyze the impact of COVID-19 pandemics on lifestyle-related etiquettes like eating, physical activity, and sleep behavior among nursing staff in India.
Methods: A crosssectional descriptive E-survey was conducted among 942 nursing staff. The validated electronic survey questionnaire was used to assess the changes in lifestyle-related etiquette before and during COVID-19 Pandemic.
Results: Pandemic. Results. A total of 942 responses (mean age 29.01±5.7years) were collected, 53% of the respondents were men. A slight decline in healthy meal consumption pattern (p<0.0001) and a restriction of unhealthy food items were observed (p<0.0001), and also reduction in physical activity coupled with decreased participation in leisure-related activities was seen (p<0.0001). The stress and anxiety slightly increase during COVID-19 pandemics (p<0.0001). Additionally, social support extended by family and friends to maintain healthy lifestyle-related behaviors also significantly decreased during COVID-19 PANDEMIC pandemics compared to before (p<0.0001). Although the COVID-19 Pandemic slightly reduced the intake of healthy meals and deterred participants from consuming unhealthy food, this this may have led to individual weight loss.
Conclusions: In general, there was a negative impact on, lifestyle like diet, sleep and mental health was observed. A detailed understanding of these factors can help to develop interventions to mitigate the harmful lifestyle-related etiquette that has manifested during COVID-19 Pandemic.
Abstract: The patient's correct position is necessary to conduct a safe and effective surgical procedure. This position depends on the access route, duration of the procedure, kind of anesthesia, devices to use, among other factors. This procedure requires planning and effort by the surgical team where they share responsibility to establish and maintain the correct positions for patients. Each surgical position fulfills an objective and implies risks to patients, which is why nursing professionals must be very attentive to provide the necessary care and ensure reliable practices in each position during the perioperative, the importance of the documentation, and the NANDA, NIC, and NOC taxonomy to consider.
Objectives: To analyze the concept of men's health care and identify its essential, antecedent and consequent attributes in the health context.
Methods: This is a concept analysis structured in the theoretical-methodological framework of the Walker and Avant Model. An integrative review was carried out between May and July 2020, using keywords and descriptors: Men's Care and Health.
Results: The concept of men's health care is structured by 240 attributes, 14 categories, 82 antecedents and 159 consequents, from the selection of 26 published manuscripts. The design was evidenced from the dimensions: Intrapersonal, psychological and behavioral related to masculinities, interpersonal, organizational and structural, ecological, ethnoracial, cross-cultural and transpersonal.
Conclusions: The concept of men's health care revealed the male specificities regarding the recognition of the place of health care and the daily exercise in the lived experience.
