Objetivo: Analisar na literatura científica disponível, informação sobre as intervenções promovidas pelos enfermeiros, com vista ao sucesso no aleitamento materno. Métodos: Revisão da literatura com pesquisa nas bases de dados eletrónicas CINAHL Plus with full text e Medline with full text, na plataforma EBSCOhost, com as palavras-chave: nurs*, education e breastfeeding. A amostra final incluiu 9 artigos. Resultados: Os artigos selecionados demonstraram a necessidade de formação dos enfermeiros que prestam cuidados a mães que amamentam, sendo a sua formação crucial para os outcomes no aleitamento materno; os programas de formação para enfermeiros parecem ser eficazes nas taxas de melhoria de efetividade do aleitamento materno; o apoio que parteiras e conselheiras em aleitamento materno é mais eficaz quando comparado ao apoio prestado por outros profissionais; para o sucesso desta prática é necessário investir no apoio emocional às mães, prestar suporte concreto na amamentação e dar continuidade ao processo através da visitação domiciliária. Conclusões: Os achados demonstram ter elevada aplicabilidade na prática de cuidados de enfermagem com qualidade a mães que amamentam. Descritores (DeCS): Enfermeiros; aleitamento materno; educação.
Cancer has an associated burden that continues to grow, affecting patients, family caregivers, and the individual’s community. The family caregivers’ unmet needs may harmfully jeopardize their well-being and the patient’s health outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to understand the needs and expectations of family caregivers of cancer patients to develop and improve care practices. The present study aims to explore the needs and expectations of family caregivers of cancer patients in palliative care. This qualitative, descriptive exploratory study will use purposive sampling to recruit family caregivers and healthcare professionals from the palliative care units of two hospital centers in Lisbon and Tagus Valley. First, the Focus group will be performed until data saturation occurs. Then, a conventional thematic analysis will be applied to analyze data with the help of the coding software QDA Miner Lite database. This study’s findings will help identify gaps in care and provide data that can support healthcare professionals in providing evidence-based centered care to family caregivers. It can also generate knowledge that may help stakeholders to develop a comprehensive support system for cancer survivors in palliative care and their family caregivers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
