Background: Patient undergoing surgery may be afraid and concerned about the diagnosis, the treatment, the procedure, the postoperative care, and the surgical recovery. Good communication between staff and patients can minimize or prevent this situation. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Telecare nursing intervention, “Telephone consultation”, in reducing the “Delayed surgical recovery” nursing diagnosis in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy and hernia repair. Methods: This study was performed in two different institutions located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A total of 43 patients were enrolled. The experimental group consisted of 22 patients who had access to the telephone follow-up intervention, and the control group consisted of 21 patients who received conventional treatment without telephone follow-up. This was a randomized controlled study with patients who were 60 years or older and awaiting operative procedures of hernia repair and laparoscopic cholecystectomy who had a mobile or landline phone and were available for telephone contact. Results: There was a reduction in “loss of appetite with nausea” (p = 0.013); “need help to complete self-care” (p = 0.041); “pain” (p = 0.041); and “postoperative sensation” (p = 0.023). The experimental group showed a significantly larger decrease in factors related to the “Delayed surgical recovery” diagnosis, suggesting a positive effect of the intervention compared to the effect in control group.\. Conclusion: Telephone consultation identified factors that increased the risk of complications after surgery, recognized potential patients for delayed surgical recovery and helped perioperative nurses provide accurate interventions to prevent or mitigate delayed recovery. This study was registered in the platform Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (ReBEC) - link: http://www.ensaiosclinicos.gov.br under registration number RBR-4C249M, retrospectively registered on April 13, 2020.

Objectives: to build and validate educational technology, of the video type, aimed at teaching about the perioperative period of robotic surgery. Methods: methodological development study, following the integrative review phases: pre-production, production, post-production, and validation. The video was evaluated for content and appearance by 14 judges. Content validity (CVI) and appearance (AVI) and agreement (CI) indices were calculated, and the exact binomial test was applied, considering p>0.05 and a proportion of 0.80 of agreement. Results: the video included 13 themes, with a duration of seven minutes and 33 seconds. The items of the three dimensions evaluated presented excellent CVI, ranging between 0.86 and 1.00 (p>0.05), with a total CVI of 0.95, VAT of 0.94 and CI equal to 61.5%. Conclusions: the video included 13 themes, with a duration of seven minutes and 33 seconds. The items of the three dimensions evaluated presented excellent CVI, ranging between 0.86 and 1.00 (p>0.05), with a total CVI of 0.95, VAT of 0.94 and CI equal to 61.5%.

Skin changes caused by aging increase the risk of skin damages, such as pressure ulcers, during hospitalization of elderly patients. There is few information about the cost of wound treatment in Brazil. Conversely, skin and wound problems are highly reported among hospitalized elderly patients and caregivers. The purpose is to analyze the socio-demographic and clinical profile associated with skin and wound care in hospitalized elderly. This is a prospective observational study. The sample consisted of 75 patients, aged 60 years or more, randomly selected in three hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data extraction from nursing records of the sample, using cross mapping with Nursing Interventions Classification. Data Synthesis supported by SAS 6.11 (SAS Institute, Inc. Cary North Carolina) in association with SPSS version 14.0 and statistics analysis. The findings were: age standard deviation 7.8, with minimum as 60, and maximum as 91 years old. Prevalence of women and married seniors. High prevalence of long-term hospitalization. There were 21 Nursing Interventions in the nursing records and seventeen of them related to skin and wound care. They were described in 57 nursing activities, present during 376 evaluations and repeated 1756 times. A significant difference was obtained between age and the presence of the nursing interventions “Positioning” (p-0.004), Eye Care/Hygiene (p- < 0.0001) and Oral Health Maintenance (p-0.0003). The skin care to prevention and treatment of skin damages represented the major demand of nursing interventions in different clinical conditions of hospitalized elderly.

Objective To map the terms recorded in medical records of patients with decompensated heart failure for nursing diagnoses and interventions from the NANDA International and Nursing Interventions Classification. Method This is an exploratory and descriptive research, carried out by a cross-mapping study. Data were collected from 107 medical records of a Hospital Institute in the city of Rio de Janeiro/Brazil, in a period between October 2017 to February 2019. The diagnoses and interventions mapped were assessed by four clinical experts. Data analysis was performed using the content validation index and the Fleiss Kappa. Results The most frequent nursing diagnoses were: risk for infection (74.8%), decreased cardiac output (55.1%) and excessive fluid volume (49.5%). The interventions were: vital signs monitoring (79.4%), fluid monitoring (72.9%) and positioning (52.3%). Conclusion The research mapped 32 titles of nursing diagnoses from NANDA-I and 21 nursing interventions from NIC. The diagnoses and interventions mapped will contribute to the quality of the nurses’ records and patient safety.

RESUMO Objetivos: construir e validar tecnologia educacional, do tipo vídeo, direcionada para o ensino acerca do perioperatório de cirurgia robótica. Métodos: estudo de desenvolvimento metodológico, seguindo as fases de revisão integrativa: pré-produção, produção, pós-produção e validação. O vídeo foi avaliado quanto ao conteúdo e aparência por 14 juízes. Calcularam-se os índices de validade de conteúdo (IVC) e aparência (IVA), concordância (IC), e aplicou-se o teste exato de binomial, considerando p>0,05 e a proporção de 0,80 de concordância. Resultados: o vídeo contemplou 13 temáticas, com tempo de duração de sete minutos e 33 segundos. Os itens das três dimensões avaliadas apresentaram IVCs excelentes, variando entre 0,86 e 1,00 (p>0,05), com IVC total de 0,95, IVA de 0,94 e IC igual a 61,5%. Conclusões: construiu-se ferramenta tecnológica, do tipo vídeo educativo, para o ensino sobre o perioperatório de cirurgia robótica. O material foi fundamentado no conhecimento científico e considerado válido pelos juízes especialistas.
