Objective: to describe self-care behavior and its associated factors in a sample of heart failure Brazilian patients. Method: descriptive cross-sectional study with non-probabilistic sample of 116 ambulatory patients undergoing heart failure treatment. Self-care was evaluated using the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index, (scores ≥70 points=appropriate self-care). Association tests were applied, considering a descriptive level of 0.05.Results: the mean age of participants was 57.7 (SD =11.3) years; 54.3% were male; the mean schooling was 5.5 (SD = 4.0) years; and 74.1% had functional class II-III. The mean scores on the subscales of the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index indicated inappropriate self-care (self-care maintenance: 53.2 (SD =14.3), selfcare management: 50.0 (SD = 20.3) and self-care confidence: 52.6 (SD=22.7)) and it was found low frequencies of participants with appropriate self-care (self-care maintenance, 6.9%), self-care management (14.7%) and self-care confidence (19%). Higher scores of the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index were associated with: reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (p=0.001), longer time of experience with the disease (p=0.05) and joint monitoring by physician and nurse (p=0.007). Conclusion: investments are needed to improve the self-care behavior and the nursing can play a relevant role in this improvement.
<p>Objetivo: identificar as orientações de saúde necessárias, para que o paciente em pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca possa desempenhar comportamentos de autocuidado após a alta hospitalar. Método: revisão integrativa, seguindo as etapas propostas por Whittemore, limitada aos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, e publicação entre 2007 e 2018. Utilizaram-se as bases de dados disponíveis nas bibliotecas virtuais PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e o instrumento de Ursi para extração dos dados. Classificaram-se os artigos conforme o nível de evidência. Resultados: foram incluídos seis artigos. Os achados possibilitaram a criação de nove categorias que agrupam as orientações de saúde para o desempenho do autocuidado após alta hospitalar decorrente de cirurgia cardíaca. Conclusão: atividades de vida diária, alimentação, atividade e exercício físico, sintomas psicológicos, controle de fatores de risco, complicações, terapia medicamentosa, manejo dos sintomas e pele foram orientações de saúde identificadas para o desempenho do autocuidado após alta hospitalar de pacientes submetidos a cirurgia cardíaca.</p><p>Descritores: Revascularização Miocárdica.

Objective:to estimate the effects of non-pharmacological interventions to improve the quality of sleep and quality of life of patients with heart failure. Method:pilot study of a randomized controlled trial with 32 individuals assigned to four groups. Sleep was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory, while health-related quality of life was assessed using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire, at the baseline and at the 12th and 24th weeks. The means of the outcomes according to intervention groups were compared using analysis of covariance; effect sizes were calculated per group. Results:all groups experienced improved quality of sleep and health-related quality of life at the end of the intervention (week 12) and at follow-up (week 24), though differences were not statistically significant (p between 0.22 and 0.40). The effects of the interventions at the 12th week ranged between -2.1 and -3.8 for the quality of sleep and between -0.8 and -1.7 for quality of life, with similar values at the 24th week. Conclusion:the effects found in this study provide information for sample size calculations and statistical power for confirmatory studies. Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry - RBR 7jd2mm
RESUMOObjetivo: analisar o grau de acurácia diagnóstica dos enfermeiros clínicos de uma instituição de cardiologia. Método: trata-se de estudo quantitativo, observacional, transversal, realizado com 53 enfermeiros que utilizavam os diagnósticos de Enfermagem no trabalho. Utilizaram-se dois instrumentos: um para a caracterização do perfil sociodemográfico e o caso clínico para o levantamento dos diagnósticos de Enfermagem. Mensurou-se o grau de acurácia diagnóstica por meio da Escala de Acurácia de Diagnósticos de Enfermagem (EADE-2). Resultados: revela-se que enfermeiros que participavam da Visita Clínica Setorial e atuavam em unidades não críticas elencaram significativamente menor número de diagnósticos de Enfermagem de acurácia baixa/nula. Não houve diferença em relação ao levantamento de diagnósticos de Enfermagem com acurácia alta/moderada. Conclusão: contribui-se para a melhora da acurácia diagnóstica dos enfermeiros por meio de programas de treinamento para o exercício do raciocínio clínico. Sugere-se que a educação permanente em serviço aconteça de forma efetiva com o objetivo de melhorar a acurácia dos diagnósticos de Enfermagem dos enfermeiros possibilitando-se o levantamento de diagnósticos acurados, de intervenções direcionadas e o estabelecimento de metas possíveis.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the degree of diagnostic accuracy of the clinical nurses of a cardiology institution. Method: this is a quantitative, observational, cross-sectional study conducted with 53 nurses who used nursing diagnoses at work. Two instruments were used: one for the characterization of the sociodemographic profile and the clinical case for the survey of nursing diagnoses. The degree of diagnostic accuracy was measured using the Nursing Diagnostic Accuracy Scale (NDAS-2). Results: it is revealed that nurses who participated in the Sectorial Clinical Visit and worked in non-critical units listed significantly fewer Nursing diagnoses of low / null accuracy. There was no difference in relation to the survey of Nursing diagnoses with high/moderate accuracy. Conclusion: it contributes to the improvement of the diagnostic accuracy of nurses through training programs for the exercise of clinical reasoning. It is suggested that permanent in-service education take place in an effective way with the objective of improving the accuracy of nursing diagnoses of nurses, making it possible to obtain accurate diagnoses, targeted interventions and the establishment of possible goals.
