Objective: to identify, in the Brazilian and international publications indexed in the databases, the main methods adopted by researchers for developing mobile apps in health.Method: integrative review of the literature, of studies published in the following databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL and SciELO, in 2012 -2016. A total of 21 articles were selected for analysis.Results: the main methods for developing mobile apps in the area of health, described in the articles, were: systematic design of instruction, contextualized design of instruction, user-centered design and systems development life cycle.
Conclusion:regardless of the method of development selected, the stages must be well-defined and structured, so that the mobile app developed may be useful to the end-user. Resultados: los principales métodos para el desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles en el área de la salud descritos en los artículos fueron: diseño instructivo sistemático, diseño educativo contextual, diseño centrado en el usuario y ciclo de vida de desarrollo de sistemas.
DESCRIPTORS:Conclusión: independientemente del método de desarrollo elegido, las etapas deben estar bien definidas y estructuradas, a fin de que la aplicación móvil desarrollada sea útil para el usuario final.
DESCRIPTORES:Aplicaciones móviles, aplicación de informática médica, informática en enfermería, informática médica, tecnología de la información.
Objective: Identify by means of a management tool causes of losses of possible and potential organs and tissues donation as opportunities of improvements in the organs and tissues donation system. Method: Descriptive and quantitative study developed in three hospitals in the south of the country, which used an instrument of the National Transplant Organization of Spain to trace opportunities of improvements in the scenario of the organs and tissues donation. Tha data collect was carried out in patients´medical records from July and October 2017. The data were analyzed through the descriptive statistics. Results: Of the 321 deaths occurred, 73% were heart arrested and 27% were brain death. In all hospitals the percentage of brain death was higher than 25%. The causes of losses involve hemodynamic alterations 78.3% and medical contraindications 21,7%, with respect to hemodynamic instability 33% related to the hypotension, polyuria 28% , sodium more than 155mEq/l 22% and temperature below 35.5ºC in 17%. Conclusion and Implications for practice: The main causes of loss involve the hemodynamic instability and the contraindication, with respect to opportunities of improvements it was possible to measure the causes of the non-validation of the potential organs donor. The management tool used in the study allows the healthcare team to develop strategies directed towards actual problems incurred at the stages of the donation and transplantation process.
Resumo Objetivo identificar as estratégias desenvolvidas pelo enfermeiro capazes de manter a biovigilância no processo de doação de órgãos e tecidos a fim de minimizar o risco de transmissão da COVID-19 entre doadores, receptores e equipes de saúde. Método pesquisa exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa, apoiada no referencial teórico sobre a biovigilância da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária. Realizou-se a coleta de dados por meio de formulário on-line composto por questões abertas. Participaram 52 enfermeiros atuantes nas estruturas do Sistema Nacional de Transplantes. Os dados foram analisados pela Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados identificou-se que o monitoramento e o controle no processo de doação, embasados na investigação clínica do potencial doador e na investigação familiar e comunitária, bem como a modificação da cultura de segurança na instituição, por meio da elaboração de protocolos e diretrizes para o cuidado do potencial doador, foram estratégias elaboradas pelo enfermeiro durante a pandemia com o objetivo de manter a segurança do paciente. Conclusão e implicações para a prática as estratégias desenvolvidas pelos enfermeiros foram o monitoramento e o controle dos possíveis riscos relacionados com a contaminação do potencial doador pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2 e a modificação da cultura de segurança a partir da elaboração e implantação de protocolos, de modo a assegurar a continuidade da doação e o transplante de órgãos e tecidos, garantindo a segurança e a qualidade nesse processo.
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.
