Abstract
INTRODUCTION Drawing blood samples through a central venous catheter (CVC) is a customary practice in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). It is indicated to discard a volume of waste blood to avoid interference in the results. AIM To determine whether a lower discard volume for obtaining blood samples from temporary CVCs placed into the internal jugular, femoral or subclavian vein offers valid results. METHOD A quasi-experimental prospective cross-sectional study for which sixty-five patients of over 18 years of age in ICUs, who had been fitted with a triple lumen central venous catheter, were recruited over a period of eight months. Two consecutive blood samples were extracted with tubes for biochemistry, coagulation and hemogram from each patient from the distal lumen. The first sample was obtained with a discarded waste of 1.5 ml from a total extracted volume of 10.2 ml, similar to the usual waste in our ambit (10 ml). Subsequently the second sample was obtained. The paired t-test was used to analyse the data. The Bland-Altman plot and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to measure the agreement between methods. The reference change value (RCV) was established as the admissible limit of variation between the pairs of samples. RESULTS A total of 65 sample pairs were drawn (intervention-control). The paired t-test found statistically significant differences with a significance level of α = .05 for chlorine (-.536; .012); prothrombin time (-.092; .019) and prothrombin activity (.284; 1.375).The ICC was greater than .9 in all the variables and the limit determined for the RCV was not surpassed by any value. CONCLUSIONS The results show the reliability of the blood samples drawn with a discard volume of 1.5 ml.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is to determine the reliability and validity of the Humour Styles Questionnaire (HSQ) in a sample of Spanish healthcare professionals. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. METHODS The version of HSQ translated into Spanish by Cayssials and Pérez was used to validate on a sample of healthcare professionals (N = 250). The reliability analysed the Crombach's α coefficient and Pearson's correlation coefficient between the factors and the total scale score. The Exploratory Factor Analysis was carried out with Kaiser's criteria for the extraction of factors with Varimax rotation. RESULTS HSQ in this study sample reproduced the similar structure of the original version with four factors (affiliative, self-enhancing, aggressive and self-defeating humour). These factors explained 44.46% of the total variance and Cronbach's ranged from 0.64-0.79. Global HSQ scale reliability was 0.82. CONCLUSION The HSQ is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing humour in healthcare professionals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct standardized training procedures and measures for emergency nursing students in COVID-19 epidemic setting so as to improve their ability to deal with emergencies. METHODS A total of 75 nursing students who were interns in the emergency department of Lu'an People's Hospital of Anhui Province from August 2021 to July 2022 were prospectively selected. Based on the evidence-based methodology and Delphi method, the best evidence for improving the emergency ability of nursing students in emergency department was obtained by systematically retrieving databases such as Web of Science, Cochrane Library and China Knowledge Network. Through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation and consulting experts' opinions, the training plan for emergency ability of nursing students in emergency department under COVID-19 epidemic situation was finally determined, and the effect of the training plan after its implementation was evaluated. RESULTS The scores of prevention ability, preparation ability and rescue ability of nursing students increased after training (P<0.05). After training, the nursing students' humanistic care ability, theory test score, operation skill score and condition grading ability score also increased (P<0.05). Additionally, task analysis, self-motivated belief, self-evaluation, self-monitoring and regulation, and total score of nursing students all increased after training (P<0.05). The scores of each dimension in the Chinese Version of Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CTDI-CV) scale after training were higher than those before training (P<0.05). Moreover, after training, the correct rate of nursing students' cognition on hospital epidemic prevention and control and the patients' total satisfaction degree to the nursing students' diagnosis and treatment services both increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The content of the training program for emergency ability of nursing students in emergency department under the COVID-19 epidemic based on the expert consensus of evidence-based and Delphi method was reliable and practical, which helped to improve the emergency ability of nursing students and the correct understanding of the hospital epidemic prevention and control, fully inspired the active learning ability, and enhanced the humanistic care ability and operational skills, and the patient satisfaction was high.

Abstract
Humanization of care is becoming an increasingly important aspect in providing high-quality health services and the arts are more and more implemented to support and foster humanization and person-centered care efforts. Musical experiences are one of the most frequently encountered art forms in medical settings. Music therapy as a healthcare profession has a decades-long tradition in hospitals, both in inpatient and outpatient areas. However, while studies regarding the effectiveness of music therapy are on the forefront of clinical research, little attention has been paid to the profession's inherent opportunities to assist the hospitals' strategies in terms of humanization of care. Yet, the musical experiences in music therapy are especially versatile in supporting healthcare users from a holistic perspective, contributing to a more compassionate, personalized, and humanized environment. In this article, the basic pillars of humanized and person-centered care will be outlined, followed by examples of seven intersections in which the music therapy service of the University Hospital Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá aligns with its Humanized and Compassionate Care Model. The aim of this article is to stimulate the discussion on music therapy not only as a profession that provides safe and effective treatment, but also as a therapeutic art experience that can add value for hospitals on their path toward a more humanized care culture.

What are the perceptions of intensive care staff about their sedation practices when caring for a mechanically ventilated patient?: A systematic mixed-methods review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NURSING STUDIES ADVANCES 2022; 4:100060. [PMID: 38745639 PMCID: PMC11080319 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnsa.2021.100060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Revised: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 12/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Sedation is used alongside mechanical ventilation for patients in intensive care units internationally; its use is complex and multifaceted. Existing evidence shows that the ways health care professionals use sedation significantly impacts patient outcomes, including how long someone spends on a ventilator, length of stay in intensive care and recovery. Objective Our study aimed to systematically review and synthesize qualitative and quantitative evidence about how intensive care staff perceive sedation practices when looking after sedated and mechanically ventilated patients. Design We performed a systematic integrated mixed-methods literature review collecting qualitative and quantitative studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Studies were included if they were published from 2009 and focused on perceptions of staff working in general adult intensive care units and caring for mechanically ventilated patients. Settings General adult intensive care units. Participants Health care professionals working in adult intensive care units. Methods Screening, data extraction and quality appraisal was undertaken by SV. Screening for inclusion and quality issues were reviewed by TR, TM and JS. The following databases: Embase, BNI, PubMed, Scopus, AMED, CINAHL, ASSIA, The Cochrane Library and Google Scholar. We used an assessment tool called the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. The studies were assessed and analysed by transforming the qualitative and quantitative data into 'text-in-context' statements. The statements were then synthesized using thematic analysis. Results Eighteen studies were included from ten countries, fourteen quantitative and four qualitative. Three overarching themes were identified: 'Variation in Decision Making', 'Challenges in Decision Making' and 'Thinking Outside the Box'. Existing studies revealed that there is considerable variation in most aspects of perceived sedation practice. Staff face challenges with interprofessional collaboration and sedation practice, and there are barriers to using sedation protocols and light sedation. There is also evidence that there is a need for health care professionals to develop coping strategies to help them facilitate lighter sedation. Conclusions A review of a decade of evidence shows that variation in decision making and challenges in decision making should be addressed to improve the care of the sedated and ventilated patient, and improve the caregiving experience for staff. Staff continue to require support with sedation practice, especially in light sedation. Research should now focus on how to help staff cope with looking after lightly sedated patients. In addition, future studies should focus on exploring sedation practices using qualitative methods as there is a dearth of qualitative evidence. Tweetable abstract Staff perceive a range of complex challenges that explain some of the variability in sedation practice for the ventilated patient in ICU.

A qualitative study on the experience of critical care nurses in Cyprus during the COVID-19 pandemic. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0278195. [PMID: 36454794 PMCID: PMC9714938 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0278195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Modern protocols for light sedation in combination with the increased number of COVID-19 infected patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) have increased the number of patients who are mechanically ventilated and awake. Nurses require specific skills to care for this vulnerable group of patients. At the same time, nurses report feeling inadequate and frustrated when they attempt to establish communication with mechanically ventilated, conscious patients. STUDY OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to explore the strategies nurses use when taking care of conscious, intubated patients in the intensive care unit and the barriers they encounter in their effort to communicate. METHODS For this study, a qualitative design was employed. Data were collected using in-depth semi-structured interviews with 14 intensive care nurses working at ICUs in four different hospitals of Cyprus. The data were analyzed by applying thematic analysis. RESULTS We identified several strategies of unaided (movements-lips, hands, legs-facial expressions, gestures, touching) and aided forms of communication (pen and paper, boards, tablets, mobiles) used by nurses to communicate with patients. However, barriers to communication were reported by the participating nurses mainly pertaining to patients and nurses' characteristics as well as the ICU environment. The health protocols imposed by the pandemic added more obstacles to the communication between nurses and patients mostly related to the use of protective health equipment. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study point to the difficulties nurses in Cyprus face when trying to communicate with conscious patients during mechanical ventilation. It appears that the lack of nurses' training and of appropriate equipment to facilitate augmentative and alternative communication leave the complex communication needs of critically ill patients unaddressed. However, further research including patients' opinions, after they recover, would bring more clarity on this topic. Our study adds evidence to the communication crisis created by the protective health protocols imposed by the pandemic. As such, it highlights the need to educate nurses in augmentative and alternative ways of communication to address communication with mechanically ventilated, conscious patients during their ICU stay.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We conducted validation of a scale to measure nursing workloads, previously designed using NIC interventions within the four nursing functions (patient care, teaching, management, and research). METHODS This is an analytical, descriptive, prospective, and observational study using qualitative methodology (focus groups and in-depth interviews) with a quantitative and qualitative section (committee of experts and real application of the scale through a validation pilot and with multicentric application, including hospitalization units of internal medicine and surgery of four hospitals). Qualitative analysis was performed with Atlas.ti8 and quantitative analysis with R. RESULTS Qualitatively, all the participants agreed on the need to measure workloads in all nursing functions with standardized terminology. The expert committee found greater relevance (91.67%) in "prevention" and "health education" as well as consistency with the construct and adequate wording in 99% of the selected items. In the pilot test and multicenter application, the nurses spent more time on the caring dimension, in the morning shift, and on the items "self-care", "medication", "health education", "care of invasive procedures", "wounds care", "comfort", and "fluid therapy". Cronbach's alpha 0.727, composite reliability 0.685, AVE 0.099, and omega coefficient 0.704 were all acceptable. Construct validity: KMO 0.5 and Bartlett's test were significant. CONCLUSIONS The scale can be considered valid to measure nursing workloads, both qualitatively in obtaining the consensus of experts and health personnel and quantitatively, with acceptable reliability and validity superior to other similar scales.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this research is to analyze the socio-occupational and health conditions of Intensive Care Units (ICU) health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. In addition, with regard to the working conditions (availability of personal protective equipment—PPE, workload and patient/professional ratio), this research aims to analyze the possible differences depending on the Spanish region that was sampled and their professional category, as well as their relationship with the characteristic symptoms of COVID-19 (myalgias and respiratory distress). Method: A cross-sectional study performed with an online questionnaire, which was spread throughout all of the Spanish autonomous communities/regions. Results: The sample consisted of 461 ICU professionals in Spain, of whom, 94% reported an increase in their workload, and 43% reported a patient/professional ratio that was higher than it usually is. The median professional experience in the ICU was 9.73 years, with 47% of them having less than 5 years of experience in it. About 80% had undergone some diagnostic tests. There is a significant difference in ‘Serology (+)’ in terms of sex, with males having a serology (+) in 26% of the cases and females having it in 13% of the cases (p = 0.011). Most of the professionals (80%) were concerned about a possible infection, and up to 96% were worried about infecting their family members. The most common COVID-19 symptom was a headache, with there being a higher incidence of this in women. Significant differences were observed with respect to the availability of appropriate PPE depending on the Spanish region (i.e., Cataluña had best rate of PPE availability) (p = 0.005). The higher incidence of myalgias and respiratory distress were associated with a lower availability of PPE and a higher patient/professional ratio. Conclusions: The ICU staff reported an increase in their workload, with an increase in the amount of staff who had less experience. A high percentage of them have suffered symptoms, although the proportion of positive tests was low. The most characteristic symptoms of COVID-19 seem to be related to the working conditions. The results show the socio-occupational and health conditions of Spanish ICU professionals during the pandemic and point to the need to establish occupational risk-prevention measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM To determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the epidemiology of safety incidents (SI) and medication errors (ME) reported to the CISEMadrid notification system in the hospital and primary care settings of the Madrid Health Service (SERMAS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Observational and descriptive study with a retrospective analysis of data including all CISEMadrid notifications from 01-Jan-2018 to 31-Dec-2020, from 33 hospitals and 262 health care centres of the SERMAS. The two periods in 2020 with the greatest increase in COVID-19 cases were identified to compare incidents reported in the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. RESULTS 36,494 incidents were reported. Comparing both periods, an overall decrease in pandemic notifications of 60.7% was observed, being higher in primary care, falling to 33% of previous levels. The reduction in notifications was similar in the peaks and valleys of the waves. The three most frequent SIs in both periods and care settings were: diagnostic tests, medical devices/equipment/clinical furniture and organisational management/citations. In ME, dose failure and inappropriate selection were the most frequent in both settings and periods. There were no relevant differences in patient consequences in both periods. CONCLUSIONS During the pandemic, patient safety notifications decreased although the most frequent types remained the same, as did their impact on the patient, both in hospitals and in primary care. The safety culture of organisations is a critical aspect for the maintenance of reporting systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determinate the adherence and barriers of our early mobilization protocol in patients who had received mechanical ventilation >48h in routine daily practice through clinical information system during all Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay. DESIGN Observational and prospective cohort study. SETTING Polyvalent ICU over a three-year period (2017-2019). PATIENTS Adult patients on mechanical ventilation >48h who met the inclusion criteria for the early mobilization protocol. INTERVENTIONS None. MAIN VARIABLES OF INTEREST Demographics, adherence to the protocol and putative hidden adherence, total number of mobilizations, barriers, artificial airway/ventilatory support at each mobilization level and adverse events. RESULTS We analyzed 3269 stay-days from 388 patients with median age of 63 (51-72) years, median APACHE II 23 (18-29) and median ICU stay of 10.1 (6.2-16.5) days. Adherence to the protocol was 56.6% (1850 stay-days), but patients were mobilized in only 32.2% (1472) of all stay-days. The putative hidden adherence was 15.6% (509 stay-days) which would increase adherence to 72.2%. The most common reasons for not mobilizing patients were failure to meeting the criteria for clinical stability in 241 (42%) stay-days and unavailability of physiotherapists in 190 (33%) stay-days. Adverse events occurred in only 6 (0.4%) stay-days. CONCLUSIONS Data form Clinical Information System showed although adherence was high, patients were mobilized in only one-third of all stay-days. Knowing the specific reason why patient were not mobilized in each stay-day allow to develop concrete decisions to increase the number of mobilizations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many areas of life, including the formation of nursing students. After the COVID-19 crisis, learning during clinical training created different challenges. Nursing schools are responsible for ensuring that structures are in place to facilitate coping in the changed clinical setting. This study aimed to analyze nursing students' perceptions during clinical training while caring for COVID-19 patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A qualitative phenomenological study that explored nursing students' perceptions of learning in clinical settings with COVID-19 patients was performed. A total of 15 semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with nursing students who carried out their clinical practices in COVID-19 units during February and April 2022. RESULTS Through content analysis, categorization, and the method of comparison constant, four categories emerged: feelings, challenges, coping methods, and clinical practices. The students had to learn to "work" with fear and uncertainty and self-manage the emotional burden using different coping techniques to deal with learning during their practices. Interacting with professors and clinical tutors during the clinical practice were positive experiences. CONCLUSIONS This study constituted an opportunity to build new and adapted educational approaches for teachers to train nursing students to deal with their emotions and thoughts in future pandemic situations.

Abstract
Objetivos: Identificar eventos adversos secundarios al decúbito prono (DP) en pacientes con COVID-19 con síndrome de distrés respiratorio agudo (SDRA) moderado/severo, analizar los factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de úlceras por presión (UPP) en DP y describir la evolución oximétrica de estos pacientes durante el DP. Método: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo realizado sobre 63 pacientes ingresados en la UCI de un hospital de segundo nivel, con neumonía por SARS-CoV-2, SDRA moderado/severo, ventilación mecánica invasiva, que precisaron maniobras de DP, durante marzo y abril de 2020. Se usó un muestreo no probabilístico consecutivo y se analizaron las variables seleccionadas a través de una regresión logística. Resultados: Se realizaron un total de 139 sesiones de pronación. La mediana de sesiones fue de 2 [1-3] y la duración de 22 horas [15-24] por sesión. La aparición de eventos adversos ocurrió en un 84,9% de los casos, siendo las fisiológicas (ej. hiper/hipotensión) las más frecuentes. Al comparar pacientes pronados que mantuvieron la integridad cutánea (34 de 63 pacientes, un 54%) versus los que desarrollaron UPP (29 de 63, un 46%), estos últimos presentaron los siguientes factores de riesgo: mayor edad, ser hipertensos, pre-albúmina <21mg/dl, mayor número de sesiones de prono y mayor gravedad al ingreso. Se observó un incremento significativo entre la PaO2/FiO2 previa al DP y en los diferentes cortes temporales durante el prono, además de una caída significativa tras despronar. Conclusiones: Existe una alta incidencia de eventos adversos debidos al DP, siendo los de tipo fisiológico los más frecuentes. La identificación de varios factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de UPP ayudará a prevenir la aparición de estas lesiones durante la pronación. La terapia de DP en pacientes COVID-19 con SDRA moderado/severo ha demostrado una mejora en los parámetros de oxigenación.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with (COVID-19 often result in mortality. Treatment outcomes among puerperant, when compared with non-pregnant women (NPW) with the same syndrome. Physiological changes underwent within the gestation period have a considerable impact on the immune system, respiratory system, cardiovascular function, and coagulation. Through this research, it was aimed to compare intensive care unit (ICU) follow-up and treatment results of postpartum-period patients with those of non-pregnant ones. During the first week of ICU, 23 puerperant COVID-19 patients with ARDS and 34 non-pregnant COVID-19 patients took part in the study. Age, height, and predictive body weight (PBW) at admission to the ICU were compared with the clinical parameters of disease severity, such as FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen), PaO2 (arterial oxygen partial pressure), Horowitz index (PaO2/FiO2), procalcitonin (PCT), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Respiration parameters were recorded a meta-vision back server. Demographic data, FiO2, PaO2, Horowitz index, PCT, CRP and respiration parameters values were similar in both groups. The duration of non-mechanical ventilation and number of patients were seen to be significantly greater among the puerperant group than control group (P; .04 and .002, respectively). The duration of mechanical ventilation was similar in both groups (P; .07), while the mortality rate was lower in the puerperant group (P; .004). The postpartum women with COVID-19 induced ARDS were observed to have better ICU follow-up results and lower mortality. However, it is considered that the present results need to be supported greater number of participants.

Abstract
This study analyzed changes in the psychological health of students who were in the final year of their nursing degree during the COVID-19 pandemic and later served as nursing professionals in hospitals. Methods: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted over two periods of time (the first in April 2020 and the second 6 months later, in December 2020) with 296 students for a T0 baseline (rate response 68.83%) and 92 students for a T1 post-test sample (response rate 31.08%). The data were electronically collected using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire, the Resilience Scale, and a post-traumatic stress questionnaire. The mean age of the sample participants was 24.17 years (SD = 5.51), and 89.11% were female. During the pandemic, 14.11% of students showed scores that indicated depression, and 32.61% showed scores that indicated anxiety. In December 2020, 86.5% of the participants were working as nurses, and the percentages of those with anxiety (12%) and depression (4.3%) were significantly lower than in the first sample period. A total of 20.7% of the participants had post-traumatic stress. High scores for resilience were significantly associated with better quality of life and lower levels of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. Conclusions: Although the percentages of participants with anxiety and depression decreased, they still presented with mental health problems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Unexpected premature delivery and separation from preterm infants are common problems that parents of preterm infants must handle with. Parents of preterm infants may suffer from severe psychological distress. Family-centred care (FCC) can effectively ease parents' psychological distress and strengthen connections between parents and their preterm infants. The purpose of this systematic review will be to systematically review and evaluate the impacts of FCC interventions on the mental health of parents of preterm infants and the parent-infant relationship. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This protocol for this systematic review will be conducted in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocol. We will search databases including PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Scopus and ProQuest, CNKI, SinoMed and Wanfang Data from 1 July 2012 to 1 July 2022. An additional search of OpenGrey will be conducted to identify grey literature. Randomised controlled trials related to FCC inventions for preterm infants≤37 weeks' gestational age and their parents will be included, and the outcome measures will be parental mental health and parent-infant interaction. Two reviewers will independently conduct title and abstract screening, full-text screening, data extraction and study quality assessment. Risk of bias for the studies will be evaluated using the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias V.2.0. Any disagreements will be solved by a third reviewer to reach a consensus. If appropriate, a meta-analysis will be conducted to assess the effect of FCC on parental mental health and parent-infant relationship. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Research ethics approval will not be required for this review since it will not involve the collection of primary data and will only use published literature. The results will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal through publication or by presentation at relevant academic conference. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022299203.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the brochure provided to relatives on admission to Spanish Intensive Care Units (ICU) regarding nursing information. METHODOLOGY Descriptive, cross-sectional, multicentre study from September-December 2019. A total of 280 adult ICUs were included, according to the list of the Spanish Society of Intensive Care. The brochure was requested through personal contact, phone call, twitter, or hospital website. ANALYSED VARIABLES Hospital (public/private), university (yes/no), visiting (open/closed), medical and nurse information. Descriptive statistics and X2 test (relations nurse information and other variables). RESULTS Data were collected from 228 ICU (81.4%), of which 25 (11%) did not have a brochure. A total of 77.8% were public and 49.8% university hospitals. Of the hospitals, 94.1% had closed visiting hours, although 42.4% supplemented it with flexible. All the hospitals included daily medical information with an established timetable, 21.7% (n = 44) contained nurse information, 27.3% with established hours and 38.6% during visits. Of the nursing information, 79.5% referred to care, 29.5% to needs, 13.6% to well-being, 15.9% to the patient's condition, 11.4% to the environment, 9.1% to observations, and 29.5% to clarifications. A total of 17.2% of all ICU offered to collaborate in care. Of the brochures with nurse information, 90.9% were public hospitals and 9.1% were private (p = .02). Of the hospitals, 65.9% were university compared to 34.1% who were not (p = .02). CONCLUSIONS While medical information is consistently reflected in all brochures, only a few contain nursing information with generic and non-homogeneous and specific content. These results contrast with the reality of the ICU, where the nurse is the professional with the greatest contact with the family. The official provision of nursing information occurs more frequently in public and university hospitals. It is necessary to standardise this information, since as a responsible part of the care process, nurses must communicate their care in a formal manner, and thus help make their work visible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nursing workload (NWL) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is an essential parameter of patient safety. However, little attention has been dedicated to measuring NWL in ICU about patients surgically treated with myocardial ischemia (MI). Methods: The objectives of this study are to describe and examine the NWL by applying the Nursing Activities Score in patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery and developed MI in the ICU. The statistical significance was set at 0.05. The statistical program SPSS 22.0 was used for the analysis. RESULTS The mean age was 69.1 years, whereas 32.4% of the patients had MI. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia were the main comorbidities. On the first day in ICU, the NWL was similar in all patients (p = 0.947). In the following days, the NWL was significantly higher in patients with MI (p < 0.001). The NWL was considerably higher in patients with MI who died. CONCLUSIONS The present results are essential for planning and using nursing resources according to the care needs of postoperative patients with MI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe and characterise the use of mechanical restraint (MR) in critical care units (CCU) in terms of frequency and quality of application and to study its relationship with pain/agitation-sedation/delirium, nurse:patient ratio and institutional involvement. METHOD Multicentre observational study conducted in 17 CCUs between February and May 2016. The observation time per CCU was 96 h. The main variables were the prevalence of restraint, the degree of adherence to MR recommendations, pain/agitation-sedation/delirium monitoring and institutional involvement (protocols and training of professionals). RESULTS A total of 1070 patients were included. The overall prevalence of restraint was 19.11%, in patients with endotracheal tube (ETT) 42.10% and in patients without ETT or artificial airway it was 13.92%. Adherence rates between 0% and 40% were obtained for recommendations related to non-pharmacological management and between 0% and 100% for those related to monitoring of ethical-legal aspects. The lower prevalence of restraint was correlated with adequate pain monitoring in non-communicative patients (P < .001) and with the provision of training for professionals (P = .020). An inverse correlation was found between the quality of the use of MR and its prevalence, both in the general group of patients admitted to CCU (r = -.431) and in the subgroup of patients with ETT (r = -.521). CONCLUSIONS Restraint is especially frequently used in patients with ETT/artificial airway, but is also used in other patients who may not meet the use profile. There is wide room for improvement in non-pharmacological alternatives to the use of MC, ethical and legal vigilance, and institutional involvement. Better interpretation of patient behaviour with validated tools may help limit use of MR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the level of readiness of the healthcare team regarding family participation in the care of the critically ill adult and their relationship with the individual characteristics of the participants in a medical-surgical intensive care unit (ICU) in Santiago de Chile. METHOD A cross-sectional correlational study using a quantitative method and including a focus group to explore the perception of healthcare staff of family participation in the care of the critically ill patient. RESULTS The level of readiness of the healthcare team for family participation in the care of the critically ill patient is medium, at 13.81 out of a total 20. The greater the readiness, the lower the age (r = -0.215; P = 0.019), the higher the rating of previous experience working with families (r = 0.304; P = 0.006), and the higher the perception of being comfortable with different activities in the care of the critical patient (r = 0.495: P < 0.001). The participants also state that the work environment of the unit, the patient's condition, the relatives' characteristics, personal judgement, and the preparedness of relatives affect their readiness. CONCLUSIONS The results contribute towards determining the healthcare team's level of readiness in a setting where the subject of the study has not been implemented. The readiness of the healthcare team is medium, and is related to individual characteristics of the healthcare staff, and to organizational and family aspects. Therefore, strategies are required to address these aspects that might increase readiness.

Nurses' knowledge about palliative care in a critical care unit. ENFERMERIA INTENSIVA 2022; 33:197-205. [PMID: 36347801 DOI: 10.1016/j.enfie.2021.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Patients admitted to the Critical Care Unit (CCU) have a high mortality rate due to their complexity. Palliative care (PC) is a key aspect that can improve patient care. Because of the essential role of the nurse in providing this care, training, and including it in daily practice are needed. Our objective was to review the level of knowledge among the nurses in the CCU regarding PC and assess whether there is an association between each of the study variables. METHODOLOGY We performed a descriptive observational cross-sectional study in the CCU of a tertiary level university hospital. The questionnaire Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses, previously validated and translated into Spanish, was used. This is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions (True/False/Do not know-Do not answer) which evaluates three aspects of PC: philosophy, psychosocial and control of pain and other symptoms. In addition, sociodemographic data was collected. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used, a p < .05 was considered statistically significant in all cases. RESULTS The questionnaire was administered to 68 nursers, with an average age of 34.98 ± 12.12 years, and 13.00 ± 11.75 years of professional experience. Twelve nurses have Master studies and 28 nurses have received training in PC. The percent of correct answers of the questionnaire was 56.98%. There were no statistically significant differences between the total average score and the variables studied. However, looking at each aspect on the scale, an association was found between PC training and control of pain and other symptoms (p = .033). CONCLUSION Critical care nurses have a basic knowledge of PC, it being insufficient in the psychological sphere. Developing a training programme which identifies misconceptions and training deficits might improve the management of symptom control in palliative care patients, quality of care and its application.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. OBJECTIVE To evaluate systematically the complications of prolonged cervical immobilisation in a hard collar. METHODS Following registration with PROSPERO, a systematic search of electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE) was conducted. Two reviewers independently screened the search results according to pre-determined search criteria. Data was extracted and tabulated. Joanna Briggs Institute checklists were used for assessing the quality of included studies. RESULTS The search identified 773 articles. A total of 25 studies were selected for final inclusion. The results largely comprised a mixture of case reports/series, cohort studies and reviews. The most commonly reported complications were pressure ulcers, dysphagia and increased intracranial pressure. A pressure ulcer pooled prevalence of 7% was calculated. There was insufficient data for quantitative analysis of any other complication. CONCLUSIONS There is significant morbidity from prolonged hard collar immobilisation, even amongst younger patients. Whilst based upon limited and low-quality evidence, these findings, combined with the low-quality evidence for the efficacy of hard collars, highlights a knowledge gap for future research.

Abstract
Objetivo: Evaluar la intimidad percibida por los pacientes en una unidad de hemodiálisis, identificando posibles áreas de mejora.Material y Método: Estudio descriptivo, realizando tres puntos de corte, años 2018, 2019 y 2021. Se utilizó el cuestionario de Mozota-Duarte, (11 ítems recogen las dimensiones intimidad auditiva, visual y privacidad global, escala Likert 1-5). Se utilizó el Alpha de Cronbach para el análisis de fiabilidad. Se llevó a cabo un análisis descriptivo, utilizándose pruebas no paramétricas para analizar la variabilidad de la intimidad a lo largo de los tres años, así como su relación con las variables sexo y edad.Resultados: se recogieron 125 cuestionarios (tasa respuesta 80,13%). Mediana de edad 68 años (P25:46,5-P75:80), siendo 65(52%) hombres. Alpha de Cronbach del cuestionario: 0,843. La mediana de puntuación de la privacidad global fue 4,66 (P25:4-P75:5), la intimidad auditiva 4,75 (P25:4,25-P75:5) y la intimidad visual 4,75 (P25:4,25-P75:5). No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las puntuaciones a lo largo de los 3 años estudiados.Los atributos peor calificados (puntuación<3) fueron “haber escuchado conversaciones de otros pacientes” (19,2%) y “haber visto explorar a otros pacientes” (20,8%).Las mujeres puntuaron peor el ítem “poder haber sido vista por otras personas” (p=0,046), no hallándose significación estadística en ningún otro atributo. Encontramos una relación inversa entre la edad y los 4 ítems relativos a la intimidad auditiva (p≤0,05).Conclusiones: La intimidad percibida por los pacientes en hemodiálisis ha sido alta, manteniéndose estable en el tiempo, tanto en las dimensiones auditiva, visual como global.

Abstract
Objective. This study aimed to investigate the clinical effect of ultrasound-guided transradial catheterization (TRC) for ICU patients with shock. Methods. 120 shock patients registered in the ICU of our hospital from January 2019 to June 2022 were selected for prospective study. The control group (60 patients) were treated with palpation-guided TRC. The observation group was treated with ultrasound-guided TRC and was divided into the internal puncture group (internal TRC) and external puncture group (external TRC), with 30 cases in each. The first attempt success rate, total success rate, operation duration, complication, measurement of radial artery, and VAS scores were compared in these groups. Results. The success rate was higher in the observation group than in the control group (
), and higher in the internal puncture group than in the external puncture group (
). The first attempt success rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (
), with no significant difference in between (
). The number of attempts and operation duration were lower in the observation group than in the control group (
), with significantly more operation duration in the internal puncture group than in the external puncture group (
) and no significant difference in the number of attempts (both
). The complication rate was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (
) and there was no significant difference in between (
). The radial artery diameter, cross-sectional area, and depth from the skin in the observation group were larger than those in the control group (
) and there was no significant difference in between (
). At 1, 6, 24, and 48 h after the surgery, the observation group showed lower VAS scores than the control group (
). Conclusion. The ultrasound-guided TRC reduced the number of attempts, the complication rates, and the operation duration. For patients with shock, if Doppler ultrasound cannot detect blood flow, the success rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and its advantage is worthy of promotion in severe patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) has been identified as a serious complication among hospitalized patients and is associated with prolonged hospitalizations and increased costs. The purpose of this study was to examine the knowledge, practices, compliance, and barriers related to ventilator-associated pneumonia among critical care nurses in the eastern Mediterranean region. METHODS The PRISMA guidelines guided this systematic review. Four electronic databases (EMBASE, MEDLINE (via PubMed), SCOPUS, and Web of Science) were used to find studies that were published from 2000 to October 2021. RESULTS Knowledge of ventilator-associated pneumonia was the highest outcome measure used in 14 of the 23 studies. The review results confirmed that nurses demonstrated low levels of knowledge of ventilator-associated pneumonia, with 11 studies assessing critical care nurses' compliance with and practice with respect to ventilator-associated pneumonia. Overall, the results showed that most sampled nurses had insufficient levels of compliance with and practices related to ventilator-associated pneumonia. The main barriers reported across the reviewed studies were a lack of education (N = 6), shortage of nursing staff (N = 5), lack of policies and protocols (N = 4), and lack of time (N = 4). CONCLUSIONS The review confirmed the need for comprehensive interventions to improve critical care nurses' knowledge, compliance, and practice toward ventilator-associated pneumonia. Nurse managers must address barriers that impact nurses' levels of knowledge, compliance with, and practices related to ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Effects of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) Catheterization Nursing on Bloodstream Infection in Peripheral Central Venous Catheters in Lung Cancer: A Single-Center, Retrospective Study. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2791464. [PMID: 36158127 PMCID: PMC9499753 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2791464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background. Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), as one of the important intravenous routes for the rescue and treatment of critically ill patients, has been widely used in the fluid resuscitation of critically ill patients in intensive care. In particular, PICC can be widely used in the treatment of cancer patients. With the wide application of peripheral central venous catheterization, the clinical findings of bloodstream infection complications caused by PICC have gradually attracted the attention of doctors and patients. Aims. To investigate the effect of specialized placement and PICC placement care on patients with lung cancer who underwent PICC puncture. Patients were selected and divided into a comparison group and an observation group of 40 patients each according to the randomized residual grouping method. In the comparison group, routine PICC placement and catheter maintenance were performed, while the observation group was provided with specialized placement and PICC placement care. The differences in immune and tumor marker levels and nursing compliance between the two groups were observed and compared before and after nursing care. Results. There was no significant difference in the comparison of tumor marker levels between the two groups of patients before care, while the levels of CYFRA21-1, CA125, and VGEF in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the comparison group after care, and this difference was statistically significant (
). There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of immune levels between the two groups before care (
), while the comparison of CD4+, CD3+, and CD4+/CD8+ after care was significantly different and higher in the observation group than in the comparison group, and the comparison was statistically significant (
). The compliance rate of 93.8% in the observation group was significantly higher than that of 77.9% in the comparison group, and this difference was statistically significant for comparison (
). Conclusion. PICC placement care is more effective in patients with lung cancer and performing PICC puncture, significantly improves patients’ immune and tumor marker levels, improves patients’ negative emotions, reduces disease uncertainty, and improves nursing compliance.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:11601. [PMID: 36141873 PMCID: PMC9517594 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191811601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
(1) Introduction: Delirium is a cognitive disorder that affects up to 80% of ICU patients and has many negative consequences. The occurrence of delirium in an ICU patient also negatively affects the relatives caring for these patients. The aim of this study was to explore patients' and their families' experiences of delirium during their ICU stay. (2) Method: The study used a qualitative design based on phenomenology as a research method. A semi-structured interview method was used to achieve the aim. The responses of patients and their families were recorded and transcribed, and the data were coded and analyzed. (3) Results: Eight interviews were conducted with past ICU patients who developed delirium during hospitalization and their family members. The mean age of the participants was 71 years. Of the eight patients, 2 (25%) were female and 6 (75%) were male. The relationships of the 8 carers with the patients were wife (in 4 cases), daughter (in 2 cases), and son (in 2 cases). The average length of time a patient stayed in the ICU was 24 days. The following themes were extracted from the interviews: education, feelings before the delirium, pain, thirst, the day after, talking to the family/patient, and return home. (4) Conclusions: Post-delirium patients and their families feel that more emphasis should be placed on information about delirium. Most patients feel embarrassed and ashamed about events during a delirium episode. Patients fear the reaction of their families when delirium occurs. Patients' families are not concerned about their relatives returning home and believe that the home environment will allow them to forget the delirium events more quickly during hospitalization.

Abstract
AIM This study determined the prevalence and key determinants of burnout among nurses and midwives in Kumasi, Ghana. DESIGN Hospital-based cross-sectional study. METHOD A questionnaire was used to obtain data from 391 nurses and midwives at a tertiary hospital in Kumasi, Ghana using simple random sampling. RESULTS About 84.4% of the participants were females. The majority of the study participants experienced low burnout for all dimensions (58% in emotional exhaustion, 55.5% poor personal accomplishment and 38.3% depersonalization). Multiple regression analysis revealed that high emotional exhaustion was independently predicted by post-graduate education (β = 6.42, p = .003), lack of support from management (β = 2.07, p = .024), dislike for leadership style, (β = 3.54, p < .001) and inadequate number of staff (β = 2.93, p = .005). Age (β = 0.35, p = .004), lack of support from management (β = 1.60, p = .012), and inadequate number of staff (β = 1.49, p = .034) independently predicted high depersonalisation. Female sex (β = 4.36, p < .001) and years of practice (β = -0.26, p < .001) independently predicted low personal accomplishment.

Abstract
Background: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has brought multiple challenges for health institutions and their professionals. The requirement of this disease forced nurses to confront organizational and clinical challenges to maintain the quality standards of care they provide. These requirements may have contributed to increased burnout symptoms. This study aims to map the scientific evidence related to nurses' burnout in intensive care units. Methods: A scoping review will be conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Relevant databases will be used as well as grey literature, where the following words will be used: burnout, nurses, intensive care units and SARS-CoV-2. Results: This scoping review will include all types of studies-quantitative, qualitative and mixed-and all types of reviews that focus on the objective of this review. Conclusions: It is vital to determine the impact of the burnout caused by the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 to assess amending measures of risk and protection factors. This will help in the implementation of guidelines according to the available evidence. Additionally, this will help to improve the skills of these professionals as well as to reduce their emotional and physical exhaustion. This protocol is registered with the Open Science Framework.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The natural history of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease is a chronic deterioration of lung function with intermittent episodes of pulmonary infectious exacerbations (PExs). Reliable venous access is a milestone of effective management of such exacerbations, managed both in hospital and outpatient chronic therapy. The aim of our study was to analyze the feasibility of ultrasound-guided positioning of long peripheral catheters (LPC) as reliable midterm venous access in children affected by CF. METHODS In this single-center prospective study, over a 60-month period, we included paediatric CF subjects admitted with PExs and undergoing intravenous antibiotic treatment. LPCs were inserted in all participants by paediatric anaesthesiologists with ultrasound guide technique. Prospective data were collected assessing catheter positioning procedure and complications. RESULTS A total of 122 LPC insertions were performed in 55 CF children. Participants had a median age of 6.75 years (interquatile range: 3.7-13.5) at the time of catheter insertion. Implantation was successful on the first attempt in 86% of cases; 2 (1%) major insertion-related complications were reported. Eighty-eight percent of catheters were electively removed at the end of antibiotic therapy without any complication. Seven percent of the catheters were removed electively for occlusion and 2% for local dislodgment. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study suggest that ultrasound-guided positioning of LPCs are safe alternative means of peripheral venous access in children with chronic diseases such as CF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospital-acquired pressure injuries, including those related to airway devices, are a significant source of morbidity in critically ill patients. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of endotracheal tube-related pressure injuries in critically ill patients and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions designed to prevent injury. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies of pediatric or adult patients in intensive care units that evaluated interventions to reduce endotracheal tube-related pressure injury. Reviewers extracted data on study and patient characteristics, incidence of pressure injury, type and duration of intervention, and outcomes. Risk of bias assessment followed the Cochrane Collaboration's criteria. RESULTS Twelve studies (5 randomized clinical trials, 3 quasi-experimental, 4 observational) representing 9611 adult and 152 pediatric patients met eligibility criteria. The incidence of pressure injury was 4.2% for orotracheal tubes and 21.1% for nasotracheal tubes. Interventions included anchor devices, serial endotracheal tube assessment or repositioning, and barrier dressings for nasotracheal tubes. Meta-analysis revealed that endotracheal tube stabilization was the most effective individual intervention for preventing pressure injury. Nasal alar barrier dressings decreased the incidence of skin or mucosal injury in patients undergoing nasotracheal intubation, and data on effectiveness of serial assessment and repositioning were inconclusive. CONCLUSIONS Airway device-related pressure injuries are common in critically ill patients, and patients with nasotracheal tubes are particularly susceptible to iatrogenic harm. Fastening devices and barrier dressings decrease the incidence of injury. Evidence regarding interventions is limited by lack of standardized assessments.

Abstract
Pain in children population is prevalent, but its proper diagnosis and management are frequently insufficient in pediatrics daily practice. Lack of knowledge of the professionals in charge is a recognized barrier to ensure an appropiate approach to pain in this population. Our present study reflects the current status of pain management and the challenges in diagnosis and treatment that pediatricians face in their daily work. This information is obtained from a survey made with a voluntary questionaire, desinged and distributed online by "Grupo Español para el Estudio del Dolor Pediátrico (GEEDP)" to pediatricians in Spain from october 2021 to march 2022. The final objective of the questionaire was to shed some light into the problem and find out which areas of pain management knowledge are in need of improvent.

Abstract
PURPOSE Antineoplastic treatments, mainly chemotherapy, affect the kidneys, causing toxicity, and can trigger acute and chronic kidney injuries. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of renal disorders in patients with oncohematological neoplasms receiving antineoplastic treatment. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 75 patients with hematological cancer who underwent chemotherapy between 2012 and 2018 in the Hematology Sector of the Walter Cantídeo University Hospital of the Federal University of Ceará. Sociodemographic and clinical data, blood biochemical assessment findings, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were analyzed using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. The data were tabulated; transferred to the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software, version 20.0; and analyzed using Pearson's chi-square test or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables followed by a multinomial logistic regression model (p < 0.05). RESULTS The prevalence of renal disorders was 52.4% according to the CKD-EPI equation for GFR events. There was a significant association between the decrease in GFRs and the following variables: female sex (p = 0.002), diagnosis of multiple myeloma (p = 0.008), start of treatment within 40 days (p = 0.005), and the following antineoplastic treatments: cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (p = 0.026); irarubicin (p = 0.032); azacytidine, dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide (p < 0.001); zoledronic acid (p < 0.001); and pamidronate (p = 0.012). CALGB 8811 (p < 0.001) was inversely associated with a reduction in the GFR. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of renal disorders was high in patients with oncohematological neoplasms receiving antineoplastic treatment. This requires periodic monitoring of the evaluation of renal function since reductions in GFRs were significantly associated with different treatment protocols used.

Abstract
The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between social support and resilience with prosocial behavior before and during the confinement caused by COVID-19. Materials and Methods: The participants were divided into a confined group (228 women and 84 men) and an unconfined group (153 women and 105 men), all of whom were university students. Instruments were applied to measure the variables proposed. Results: Social support predicted 24.4% of the variance in prosocial behavior among women and 12% among men in the confined group; no evidence of this relationship was found in the unconfined groups. Resilience predicted 7% of the variance in prosocial behavior among confined women, 8.4% among confined men, 8.8% among unconfined women, and 5.1% in unconfined men. Discussion and Conclusion: The results show the importance of social support and resilience in prosocial behaviors, which are key elements for the proper functioning of society, especially in the face of a crisis such as COVID-19.

Abstract
AIM To describe the nursing experiences and care needs of family caregivers caring for neonates with enterostomies in China. DESIGN A qualitative study. METHODS We conducted semi-structured interviews with family caregivers who care for neonates undergoing enterostomy. Family caregivers were selected using a purposive sampling method from three children's hospitals until no new data were generated (N = 26). Data analysis applied the thematic analysis method. The caregivers' experiences were described using qualitative content analysis. RESULTS The experience of family caregivers was described as growing in adaptation, where five main themes emerged: (1) complex emotional responses; (2) uncertainty about everything; (3) lack of confidence, anxiety and helplessness; (4) eagerness for professional support; (5) active adaptation, gain-harvest and gain-growth. These findings increased understanding and added knowledge on this topic that is rarely studied in China. Healthcare authorities and professionals should recognize and understand the lives and situations of family caregivers (whose neonates undergo enterostomy) to better identify their difficulties and needs.

Abstract
AIMS To explore whether perceived overqualification increases the risk of burnout, and whether transformational leadership negatively moderates this relationship. BACKGROUND Perceived overqualification might contribute to burnout and lead to poor experience of transformational leadership, and transformational leadership might be associated with burnout. However, these relationships have not yet been confirmed. METHODS A multicentre cross-sectional study. A total of 321 nurses from intensive care units were recruited from six tertiary hospitals. Scale of Perceived OverQualification, Transformational Leadership Questionnaire and emotional exhaustion subscale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey were employed to collect the data. Hierarchical multiple regression and bootstrap resampling were applied to analyse the data. RESULTS Burnout was positively associated with perceived overqualification and negatively associated with transformational leadership (each p < 0.05). Transformational leadership significantly mediated the relationship between perceived overqualification and burnout (b = -0.6389, 95% confidence interval: -0.8706, -0.4072). CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that perceived overqualification and transformational leadership directly or indirectly affect burnout among nurses from intensive care units. Implications for nursing managers Personal and organizational-oriented interventions utilizing nurses' overall qualifications and implementing transformational leadership should be employed by nurse managers to alleviate burnout and promote the work performance of nurses from intensive care units.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Nursing is among the most stressful professions. Studies that examine possible factors that influence the mental workload (MWL) of nurses are of fundamental importance, because through these results, efforts can be concentrated on improving their working conditions more efficiently. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of hospital infection on the MWL of nurses in an intensive care unit (ICU). METHOD: Cross-sectional and descriptive study, with a quantitative approach. Three research instruments were used: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) and the Nursing Work Index-Revised Brazilian version (B-NWI-R). The sample consisted of 30 nurses from the ICU of a public hospital in João Pessoa city, Brazil, during the daytime period, and the Spearman correlation test (α= 0,05) was applied to verify associations. RESULTS: There was a high MWL among nurses, with a NASA-TLX weighted average of 66.38 (SD±15.0). Correlations were found between the levels of hospital infection in the ICU and the MWL of the nurses (r = 0.654, p < 0.01); in the nurses’ care of patients with urinary tract infection, the correlation is 0.546, p < 0.01; if care is provided to patients with lung problems, the correlation is 0.563, p < 0.01 The ICU presented a favorable environment to nursing practices, with means lower than 2.5, according to the B-NWI-R. CONCLUSION: The MWL of the nurses was associated with the hospital infection levels of the intensive care sector studied. It was found that the MWL of nurses in relation to hospital infection in the ICU increased by 42.8% . This MWL is impacted by 29.8% when nurses’ care is linked to patients with urinary infection. But if care is provided to patients with lung problems, this percentage rises to 31.7%

Abstract
Patient satisfaction is of great importance and is a key factor in the quality of care. The most commonly used measure of this factor is satisfaction surveys. This study used the modified SERVQHOS healthcare quality survey model, which adapts the SERVQUAL survey. The main objective was to determine the degree of satisfaction of patients seen in the outpatient department of the Dermatology Service, as well as to describe and detect those aspects that could be improved to offer better quality care. A total of 250 patients responded to the survey. The mean Likert scale score for the 19 items on the perceived quality of care was 4.17 ± 0.796 points. Up to 92.8% were satisfied or very satisfied with the care received. All items were statistically correlated with overall satisfaction (p < 0.001). In the multivariate study, the variables with predictive capacity in relation to overall satisfaction (p < 0.05) were “the technology of the medical equipment”; “the directions to the consultation”; “the confidence that the staff transmits”; “the state of the consultation”; and “the interest of the staff in solving problems”. Satisfaction was significantly higher in men (p < 0.05), with a level of education up to primary school (p < 0.05) and no work activity (p < 0.001). The final mean score in the degree of perceived satisfaction was very high, indicating that the expectations of the patients were exceeded, and showing that satisfaction is closely linked to the qualities and skills of the staff in their relationship with the patient.

Abstract
Healthcare systems are becoming increasingly complex which is helping to promote a ‘culture of safety’ within them based on the best scientific evidence available. Indeed, creating a positive institutional culture of patient safety is reflected in health outcomes. The aim of this present study was to describe the perception of culture of safety by nurses in adult inpatient units in a tertiary hospital and to analyze adverse events reporting. It was a cross-sectional study in which 202 nurses from adult hospitalization units of the Hospital Universitario y Politécnico La Fe in Valencia (Spain) participated. The perception of safety culture was measured using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety questionnaire version 1.0, which consists of 42 items distributed in 12 dimensions that are considered strengths or weaknesses. In addition, adverse events related to nursing care during the study period and those reported in the official hospital registry were collected. Finally, the association between safety culture and sociodemographic and labor variables was explored. A total of 148 responses to the questionnaire were analyzed (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.94), where seven dimensions and 25 items were identified as weaknesses. Two hundred and fourteen events were identified and none were reported in the official registry. Years of experience were significantly (p < 0.05) associated with safety culture. It is necessary to establish strategies to improve the perception of the safety culture of nurses, as well as to make nurses aware of the importance of notifying adverse events derived from health care.
