- Music therapy as an autonomous intervention of nurses for pain control in icu: integrative reviewPublication . Cardoso, Lara; Salgueiro, Dian; Mota, Liliana; Príncipe, FernandaIntroduction: In an environment as complex as an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), it is important to understand how nursing interventions, such as music therapy, can contribute to pain control. Objective: To understand the relevance of music therapy, as an autonomous nursing intervention, in controlling the pain of patients hospitalized in ICU’s. Methods: Integrative review of the literature, through the electronic research on the B-ON platform and the PubMed electronic database, conducted in January 2016, using the descriptors "nursing", "music", "pain" and "intensive care". Inclusion criteria were articles published between 2011 and 2015, with a qualitative or quantitative approach, in full text, Portuguese, Spanish or English, referring to adult patients and in intensive care unit, obtaining a total of 818 articles of which seven were included in the study. Results: Obtained studies are representative of a total of 1818 participants, mostly patients, from three continents. The articles showed that music therapy is effective in controlling pain, through musical preferences, the type of music and the volume of the music. Conclusions: Music therapy is an autonomous nursing intervention that can be used as a non-pharmacological intervention in pain control in patients with specific needs inherent to an ICU.
- Relevance of information when elderly returning home after cataract surgeryPublication . Costa, Dina; Maltez, Filomena; Mota, Liliana; Príncipe, FernandaIntroduction: Cataracts, associated with the senescence process, lead to visual changes that condition daily life. A surgical procedure is the standard treatment, which makes nurses a privileged professional group to identify both the potential and difficulties of these patients so as to facilitate their health/illness transition when they return home. Objetive: To explore the information that nurses provide in preparing the return home of elderly patients after cataract surgery. Methods: Qualitative research study, with data collection using the focus group technique, based on an intentional sample composed of six nurses. Data analysis was performed with a posteriori categorization according to Bardin (2015). Results: Three categories of relevant topics were found: “Facilitating/inhibiting factors” (age, cognitive ability, awareness of their clinical and socioeconomic situation); “Management of the post-operative therapeutic regimen” (medication regimen and prior preparation); “Promotion of the potential for autonomy” (empowerment and organizational management). Conclusion: The recognition of relevant information in preparing for homecoming allows clinical pathways to be defined with a view to better decision making, in favour of guaranteeing the quality and continuity of care.
- The social representation of nursing and being nursesPublication . Novais, Sónia; Príncipe, Fernanda; Mota, LilianaIntroduction: The social representation of nursing as a science and profession has deserved the attention of the investigation in terms of understanding what the view of nurses, other health professionals, teachers or laypeople are about the profession's references or nursing care. Objetives: To understand the social representation of the Nursing discipline and profession by students and tutors of the Nursing undergraduate course. Methods: Descriptive and comparative study based in a qualitative paradigm supported by the Theory of Social Representations. Non-probabilistic convenience sample consisting of 125 nursing students and 70 tutors. Data collection using a TALP, made available through an online questionnaire. Data analysis using Iramuteq 0.7 alpha 2 software. Results: From the analysis of the social representation of Nursing and of being a nurse in students’ perspective three categories emerge: nursing discipline, care and values, with a clear balance between care and values. The tutors' discourse is strongly anchored in the evocation of caring, helping, dedication and person. Conclusions: The structure of student’s representation changes over the course because of the modeling that is established during the supervisory relationship with nurse tutors. The tutors show to have a more structured social representation than that of the students due to their professional experiences and academic background. The tutors show to have a more structured social representation than that of the students due to their professional experiences and academic background.
