- (Contornos da) Formação Especializada em Enfermagem de Reabilitação (1965 - 1987) em PortugalPublication . Correia, Nuno Miguel Catela; Bernardes, Rafael Alves; Parola, Vítor; Neves, Hugo; Subtil, Carlos; Queirós, PauloIntrodução: O surgimento da formação especializada em enfermagem de reabilitação foi um marco importante na História da Enfermagem em Portugal e na década de 60 do século XX surgiram medidas pioneiras que prepararam a sua programação. O primeiro plano de estudos surgiu em 1965 e foi reformulado quatro vezes até 1987. Metodologia: Recurso ao método histórico, com análise documental narrativa e descritiva de fontes primárias constantes dos planos de estudos dos cursos de especialização em enfermagem de reabilitação de 1965 a 1987. As principais variáveis de interesse foram: motivo da criação dos cursos, conhecimento científico nos planos de estudo, relação com contexto nacional, carga letiva, e relação com as funções desempenhadas pelos enfermeiros em resposta aos cuidados de saúde. Resultados: Os sete planos de estudos analisados revelaram a constante evolução da especialidade, sobretudo pela alteração da carga horária, progressivamente mais intensa, e com maior interligação entre teoria e prática. A introdução de novos conteúdos mais especializados, foi fruto da complexidade de cuidados e da influência de revisões por grupos de trabalho constituídos por enfermeiros e médicos. A introdução de áreas transversais como pedagogia e investigação permitiram enriquecer e afirmar a Enfermagem de Reabilitação no seio da disciplina e da área da saúde em Portugal. Discussão: A criação do primeiro curso de especialização, segundo o modelo norte americano, foi pressionada pelo elevado número de vítimas da Guerra colonial, iniciada em 1961. Com o avanço do conhecimento científico e atendendo ao contexto do país, os planos de estudos foram reestruturados, sendo reconhecida a especialidade através do Decreto-Lei n.º 265/83, levando ao surgimento de escolas Pós-Básicas em Lisboa, Porto e Coimbra. Neste processo houve sempre aumento progressivo da carga letiva dos diferentes planos de estudos associada a um aumento da complexidade das funções desempenhadas pelo enfermeiro especialista. Conclusão: A formação especializada em enfermagem de reabilitação desenvolveu-se através de diferentes influências, primeiramente norte-americanas e inglesas associadas ao contexto do país, que possuía diferentes carências relacionadas com o processo reabilitativo. Houve um acompanhamento da evolução dos conhecimentos técnico-científicos e das alterações sociodemográficas que se consolidavam no país.
- Development of a guided imagery program for patients admitted to palliative care unitsPublication . Coelho, Adriana; Parola, Vítor; Fernandes, Olga; Querido, Ana; Apóstolo, JoãoBackground: Guided imagery (GI) is being increasingly used as a non-pharmacological intervention in different clinical settings. However, GI intervention programs have not yet been developed and adapted to patients admitted to palliative care units, which impedes their implementation. Thus, the need emerges to develop and validate a GI program. Objective: To develop and validate a GI program. Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted following the guidelines of the Medical Research Council for the development of complex interventions in 3 phases: identifying the evidence base, identifying/developing appropriate theory, modelling process and outcomes. Results: The development process resulted in a program consisting of 2 GI sessions to be implemented in the same week. Preliminary results on the implementation of a GI session suggest that the intervention is effective in increasing comfort. Conclusion: The characteristics of the GI program proved to be adjusted to the context and target population. The effectiveness of the GI program will be tested in a quasi-experimental study.
- Helmet-Noninvasive Ventilation for Hospitalized Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients: Has Vaccination and the New Variants Changed Evidence?Publication . Neves, Hugo; Parola, Vítor; Bernardes, Rafael A.; Sousa, Joana; Coelho, Adriana; Dixe, Maria dos Anjos; Catela, Nuno; Cruz, Arménio; Bernardes, Rafael; Neves, HugoNoninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a technique for breathing support that significantly improves gas exchange and vital signs, reducing intubation and mortality rates. Helmets, unlike facemasks, allow for longer-term treatment and better ventilation, also being more cost-effective. As of today, we have found no reviews addressing this topic. This review aims to identify, map, and describe the characteristics of the use of noninvasive ventilation through helmet interface in critically ill COVID-19 adult patients hospitalized in acute care settings throughout the multiple moments that defined the COVID-19 pandemic. This scoping review will follow the methodology for scoping reviews proposed by JBI. A set of relevant electronic databases will be searched using terms such as COVID-19, helmet, and noninvasive ventilation. Two reviewers will independently perform the study selection regarding their eligibility. Data extraction will be accomplished using a researcher’s developed tool considering the review questions. Findings will be presented in tables and a narrative description that aligns with the review’s objective. This scoping review will consider any quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods studies and systematic review designs for inclusion, focusing on the use of helmet on critically ill adult patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in acute care settings.
- Nursing knowledge of people with paresis of voluntary muscles: a living scoping review protocolPublication . Neves, Hugo; Parente, Paulo; Gomes, João; Queirós, Carmen; Sousa, Joana; Parola, Vítor; Sousa, Paula; Brito, Alice; Paiva e Silva, Antónia; Morais, Ernesto Jorge; Cardoso, Alexandrina; Cruz, Ines; Machado, Natália; Oliveira, Fernando; Bastos, Fernanda; Pereira, Filipe; Prata, Paula; Paiva e Silva, Abel; Sequeira, Carlos; Sousa, PaulinoObjective: This review aims to continuously map the nursing knowledge about people with paresis of voluntary muscles in any context of care. Introduction: Muscle paresis is a condition that significantly impacts quality of life. Nurses have a crucial role in managing this condition, particularly paresis of voluntary movement muscles. However, nursing knowledge about patients with paresis of voluntary muscles is dispersed, hampering the integration of evidence within the structure of information systems. Mapping how the nursing process components are identified is the first step in creating a Nursing Clinical Information Model for this condition, capable of integrating evidence into information systems. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider studies focusing on the nursing process regarding people with paresis of voluntary muscles in all care contexts. The review will include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods study designs, systematic reviews, clinical guidelines, dissertations, and theses. Methods: The review process will follow JBI's scoping review guidance, as well as the Cochrane Collaboration's guidance on living reviews. Screening of new literature will be performed regularly, with the review being updated according to new findings. The search strategy will map published and unpublished studies. The databases to be searched will include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, JBI Evidence Synthesis, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Searches for unpublished studies will include OpenGrey and Repositorios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal. Studies published in English and Portuguese from 1975 will be considered for inclusion.
- Screening Tools Designed to Assess and Evaluate Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Adult Patients: A Scoping ReviewPublication . Bernardes, Rafael A.; Cruz, Arménio; Neves, Hugo; Parola, Vítor; Catela, Nuno; Bernardes, Rafael; Neves, HugoOropharyngeal Dysphagia (OD) significantly decreases a patient’s quality of life and poses a high economic burden to institutions. In this sense, evaluation and assessment are important interventions for health professionals, although current tools and instruments are multiple and are dispersed in the literature. The aim of this review was to map existing screening tools to assess and evaluate OD in adult patients, identify their relevant clinical parameters and respective contexts of use and provide a systematic approach and summary to better inform practice. A scoping review was developed guided by the JBI methodology and using PRISMA-ScR to report results published between 2014 and 2021, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Databases included Medline, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL Complete, Scielo, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, OpenGrey and B-On. Mendeley was used to store and screen data. A total of 33 studies were included in the study, of which 19 tools were identified, some being intervention-based tools and others an algorithm for decision. The most common context used was in the general population and older adults. Regarding clinical parameters, the most common were food consistency, presence of the cough reflex, swallowing effort, voice changes and weight. As oropharyngeal dysphagia concerns important risks for the patient, a rigorous assessment must be performed. In this sense, the review identified specific disease-related tools and more general instruments, and it is an important contribution to more efficient dysphagia screening and prevention.
