- Dimensions of clinical leadership among pre-registration nursing students: A cross-sectional study between two countriesPublication . Baron, Sue; Grinberg, Keren; Sousa, Joana; Neves, Hugo; Harnett, Gerardina; Bianchi, Monica; Luiking, Marie-Louise; Nilsson, Stefan; Frazer, Kate; Jack, Kirsten; Scammell, Janet; Warshawski, SigalitAims: To explore a) pre-registration students’ self-perceptions of clinical leadership behaviours and b) differences in students’ self-perceptions of leadership behaviours between two countries (UK and Israel). Background: Effective leadership has been associated with high-quality and compassionate care provision in health and social care contexts. This has led to a common acceptance that teaching leadership in nursing education is essential if students are to develop competencies in this area. Worldwide, there is limited research on nursing students’ perception of clinical leadership behaviours as well as on the development of leadership behaviours during the study years. Design and methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used among two convenience samples of UK and Israeli pre-registration nursing students. Closed questionnaires were uploaded in the format of a commercial internet survey provider (Qualtrics.com) and distributed through the virtual learning platforms in the two participating universities. In total 656 students were invited to participate and the response rates were 28.1% (Israel) and 17.9 % (England). Results: Overall, 140 students completed the questionnaires. Significant differences were found between the two sites in the leadership dimensions "Emotional Intelligence" and "Impact and Influence" (p < .05), with UK students scoring higher than Israeli students. Among the Israeli sample, significant differences were found in leadership dimensions according to years of study, with higher scores reported in the 3rd and 4th year students compared with the 1st and 2nd Year students in the referred dimensions (p < .05). Conclusions: Differences in students’ clinical leadership perception exist between the two cohorts examined. Nurse educators should expand international research on this subject to identify possible antecedents in developing clinical leadership behaviours. At the same time, there is a need to continue efforts to enhance the development of clinical leadership behaviours during all study years through curriculum updating to prepare future nurses better to provide quality, safe and person-centered care.
- 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, ArménioNoninvasive 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.

- Livro de Atas da INCLUDIT - VII Conferência Internacional para a Inclusão - e CTecA - I Conferência de Tecnologias de Apoio e Acessibilidade - 2023Publication . Sousa, Joana; Vicente, Luís; Marques, Nuno fragataA inclusão e o indivíduo são conceitos intimamente relacionados e fundamentais para a construção de uma sociedade justa e equitativa. A inclusão refere-se ao processo de garantir que todas as pessoas, independentemente de suas características individuais, origens, habilidades, ou diferenças, sejam parte integrante na sociedade de forma plena e tenham igualdade de oportunidades e acesso a recursos e serviços essenciais. É no respeito pela diversidade, o combate ao preconceito e à discriminação, e ao em poderamento das pessoas para que possam alcançar seu pleno potencial que vimos a in clusão. Ela visa eliminar as barreiras sociais, culturais e estruturais que impedem a parti cipação plena e efetiva de todos os indivíduos na vida social, económica, política e cultural. A palavra inclusão, surgindo associada a grupos historicamente marginalizados, como pessoas com deficiência, minorias étnicas, imigrantes, refugiados, pessoas LGB TQIA+, entre outros, estende-se a todas as pessoas que enfrentam formas de exclusão ou discriminação. Sendo que, sempre que esta palavra surge, a mesma instiga à existên cia de exclusão. O indivíduo, por sua vez, é a unidade básica da sociedade. Cada pessoa é única, com as suas próprias características, necessidades, desejos, habilidades e potencialidades. Re conhecer e respeitar o valor de cada indivíduo é fundamental para a construção de uma sociedade plena. Quando valorizamos o indivíduo, estamos a reconhecer a sua dignidade e importância, independentemente das suas diferenças. Estas foram as premissas da conferência INCLUDIT VII e da CTecA I realizada no dia 18 de março de 2023 em dois espaços da cidade de Leiria - na Escola Superior de Educação e Ciências Sociais do Politécnico de Leiria e no Mercado Santana. A conferência contou com sessões plenárias, paralelas e expositores de equipamentos e produtos de apoio. A inclusão e o indivíduo caminham juntos, sendo a valorização do indivíduo a dire ção do respeito e do acolhimento. Ter uma voz e poder ser ouvido, caminhar para uma sociedade mais justa onde cada um tem a oportunidade de contribuir e participar plena mente, enriquecendo a diversidade e fortalecendo os laços sociais. A conscientização, a educação e a empatia são fundamentais nesse processo, por permitirem compreender as diferentes realidades e necessidades das pessoas. Trabalhar a inclusão será trabalhar a favor da valorização do indivíduo, promovendo uma sociedade mais justa e equitativa, na qual todas as pessoas são respeitadas, acei tas e valorizadas independentemente das suas características. Trabalhar para eliminar a discriminação, o preconceito e a exclusão social, permitindo que cada pessoa tenha igual dade de oportunidades e acessos, respeitando a diversidade, a igualdade de oportunida des, empoderando, criando acessibilidade, sensibilizando, influenciando políticas e ações. Vivemos realidades em que observamos diariamente o direito à igualdade a ser posto à prova. Trabalhemos para um futuro que possa ser mais equitativo.

- MOOC as a way to raise inclusion awareness in society: Portuguese case studyPublication . Francisco, Manuela; Filipe, Luís; Cadima, Rita Alexandra Cainço Dias; Sousa, Célia; Mangas, Catarina; Seco, Graça; Alves, Sandra; Coelho, Renato; Sousa, JoanaThe inclusion of people with some kind of limitation or disability in different daily contexts has been one of the mottoes of our modern society, as a result of the changes experienced over the last decades. Education is a clear example of these contexts and institutions must support students with special educational needs (SEN). This support includes physical and digital accessibility, interaction with peers, teachers and staff, adapted contents, Sign Language support, and diverse teaching and evaluation tools and pedagogies. This knowledge and experience existing in educational institutions must be shared within society, promoting awareness about inclusion and increasing the knowledge about concepts and good practices. Enhancing the potential of distance learning and the experience of Polytechnic of Leiria services in the SEN area, 18 short courses were developed in a MOOC format, under the designation of "Inclusion Cycle in 59 minutes and a few seconds”. The main goals of these courses were to sensitize a large number of people to the correct use of terminology, legislation and standards in the SEN and inclusion area; to improve knowledge about different profiles and different strategies for intervention and interaction. Based on the data obtained through LMS analytics, evaluation quizzes, surveys and certificates issued, it was analysed the effectiveness of the format and methodology adopted and the satisfaction of the participants who attended these courses.
- Nursing Care in Peripheral Intravenous Catheter (PIVC): Protocol of a Best Practice Implementation ProjectPublication . Catarino, Fernando; Lourenço, Cristina; Correia, Célia; Dória, João; Dixe, Maria; Santos, Cátia; Sousa, Joana; Mendonça, Susana; Cardoso, Daniela; Costeira, Cristina R.Background: The use of a peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) is a common invasive practice in healthcare settings. It is estimated that about 70% of people with PIVCs will develop associated complications, such as infections. It is the consensus that best practices could reduce the appearance of such complications and reduce the length of stay in hospital. Methods: A project will be applied to implement the best approach in peripheral venous catheterization, provided by clinical nurses from an inland hospital in Portugal. The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology will be used on evidence implementation projects, which will be developed in three phases. First, a baseline audit will be performed. The second phase implements corrective measures, and the third phase is a follow-up audit. Conclusions: This project will improve the practice of the nursing team on peripheral venous catheterization nursing cares, positively influencing the quality of nursing care and patient safety. The implementation and dissemination of this project could boost its replication in other centres.
- 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.
