ABSTRACT:The aim of this study was to evaluate the compliance of the implemented prevention and control practices for central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection, through clinical indicators. An observational study, with a quantitative approach, was conducted. The case series was based on 2064 evaluations, conducted through direct observation and medical records, using a manual for evaluating the quality of cross-infection control practices. The results showed that the indicator for the registrations of the insertion and dwell time of the catheter had the highest overall compliance rate (62.5%). The indicator related to hand hygiene, on the other hand, showed a null overall compliance rate. Strategies must be developed to ensure adherence to the prevention and control practices for central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection and periodic evaluations of working conditions must be implemented, in order to raise compliance rates.

EL USO DE INDICADORES EN LA EVALUACIÓN DE LAS PRÁCTICAS CLÍNICAS PARA LA PREVENCIÓN Y CONTROL DE LA INFECCIÓN DEL TORRENTE SANGUÍNEORESUMEN: El estudio pretende evaluar el cumplimiento de las prácticas para la prevención y control de la infección del torrente sanguíneo, relacionadas con el catéter venoso central a través de indicadores clínicos. Este es un estudio observacional, con un enfoque cuantitativo. La serie fue basada en las evaluaciones realizadas por 2064 observación directa y registro en registros médicos, utilizando el manual de evaluación de la calidad de las prácticas de control de infecciones hospital. Los resultados mostraron que el indicador en el insertar registro y tiempo de catéter mostró el mayor índice de cumplimiento global (62,5%). El indicador relacionado con la higiene de las manos demostró ya índice general cumplimiento nulo. Hay que elaborar estrategias para garantizar el cumplimiento de las prácticas de control de la infección y prevención de la circulación sanguínea central venosa relacionada con el catéter, así como instituir las evaluaciones periódicas de las condiciones de trabajo, a fin de elevar las tasas de cumplimiento.

Objetivo: comparar o conhecimento de enfermeiros intensivistas sobre lesões por pressão antes e após intervenção educativa. Métodos: estudo longitudinal, antes e depois, realizado com nove enfermeiros intensivistas alvos de intervenção educativa online sobre lesão por pressão. O conhecimento foi investigado por meio de instrumento com itens sobre prevenção, estadiamento e avaliação de lesões por pressão. Resultados: a média de acertos foi de 81,1% e 84,6%, na avaliação pré e pós-intervenção, respectivamente. Quanto à prevenção, houve média de acertos de 25,11 (78,5%) antes da intervenção e 26,22 (81,9%) após a realização do curso. Sobre o estadiamento, no pré-teste, obteve-se média de acertos de 4,33 questões (86,6%), enquanto no pós-teste a média foi de 4,66 (93,2%). Na avaliação das lesões, os resultados foram iguais no pré e pós-intervenção. Conclusão: após realização do curso, verificou-se aumento no conhecimento dos enfermeiros sobre lesão por pressão, destacando-se os itens de estadiamento.
The objective was to evaluate the practice of self-care of patients with mechanical heart valve prosthesis. A descriptive, cross-sectional study developed in two outpatient valvopathies of teaching hospitals of Fortaleza/CE, from October 2013 to January 2014. The sample consisted of 127 patients with mechanical heart valve prosthesis. It was held an interview using instrument based on the Theory of Orem's Self-Care and Brazilian Guidelines for Valvular Heart Diseases. The data were presented in tables and charts. Results: Universal self-care practices of larger adhesion: body hygiene (97.6% washed-haired, daily-bath 92.1%); oral hygiene (brushing teeth before sleeping, 87.4%); fluid intake (drinking-water 95.2%); food intake (salt intake ≤ 2 g/day, 92.1%, fruit and vegetable consumption 79.5%); intestinal eliminations (without blood or mucus-96%, non-parasitic 94.4%); urinary elimination (no blood nor pus-96.8%, urination 4 to 6 times a day, 96%). As self-care developmental requirements predominated: never used illegal drugs, tobacco, alcohol, or stopped at the discovery of the disease (70%). As self-care health deviation requirements we have: making use of certain medication at the right dose (95.2%); attending medical appointments (cardiologist-92.1%; nursing-84.2%); INR control (identifies signs of bleeding-85.8%). We conclude that patients did not perform all recommended self-care practices, being necessary to establish strategies to reduce the self-care deficit.
