- People of Peniche. Case study in editorial web design and storytellingPublication . Bukovec, Kaja; Gomes, António Manuel Sucena SilveiraIn this master thesis I researched history, heritage and cultural aspects related to Portuguese coastal town Peniche. Investigation also covers multimedia storytelling, visual identity, editorial web design and user experience. The aim of the research is to better understand Peniche cultural identity from a foreign resident perspective and to share this knowledge about coastal communities living there with the potential visitors, using graphic and web design as a method. In the practical part I collected stories of the local people and presented them as an interactive contemporary storytelling experience, by designing and building a multimedia webpage. Furthermore, I designed a visual identity of the project as the part of my master thesis practical work as well. I developed my skills as a photographer, visual storyteller, graphic and web designer, showing the variety of my professional expertise. Moreover, I also explored how contact between different cultures can be a constructive experience for a designer. The ultimate goal of this project is to inform people, especially tourists, that Peniche is so much more than surfing. The main motivation of my research and practical work is to give something back to the community, to network with local people and to spread awareness of Peniche heritage. “People of Peniche” website is the final result of this master thesis and represents a cohesive combination between technical and ethnographical elements.
- Telehealth Adoption in an Outpatient Oncology Ward: A Best Practice Implementation ProjectPublication . Ventura, Filipa; Domingues, Helena; Almeida, Gisela; Cardoso, Daniela; Rodrigues, Rogério; Moreira, Isabel; Pires, Mariana; Gomes, Inês; Silva, Rosa; Oliveira, Cláudia; Cardoso, Ana Filipa; Ribeiro, Liliana; Costeira, CristinaTelehealth is increasingly taking place to support the transition of care and self-management of people living with cancer in outpatient oncology settings. Despite its recognised value, the scientific evidence points to disparities with regard to implementation of telehealth that might compromise the equity of access. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) implementation approach, this project aims to promote the implementation of best practice recommendations for telehealth adoption in an outpatient oncology setting. Assisted by the Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System (PACES), the implementation process comprises three phases of (i) a baseline audit, (ii) feedback to the healthcare team and establishment of implementation strategies with the Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) tool, and (iii) a follow-up audit. The project is expected to allow the identification of barriers and facilitators for the implementation of telehealth in outpatient oncology and develop a strategy plan for its adoption, with the involvement of end-users and stakeholders. The successful adoption of telehealth according to the best available evidence will likely enhance equity of access to healthcare and quality of care at a distance.
- 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.
