NURSING DIAGNOSIS APPLIED TO PATIENTS WITH DECOMPENSATED HEART FAILUREABSTRACT: The present study aimed to identify the priority nursing diagnoses for patients with decompensated heart failure. Quantitative study conducted in a cardiac emergency service of a university of Pernambuco, between October 2014 and February 2015. The study sample was composed of 62 patients admitted for the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure, emergency inpatients and patients from any functional class. The main nursing diagnoses were Decreased Cardiac Output (87.3%), Activity Intolerance (79.4%) and Ineffective Breathing Pattern (38.1%). The signs and symptoms of decompensation caused by systemic or pulmonary congestion provided the basis for the recognition of defining characteristics that made it possible to formulate priority nursing diagnoses for these patients. DESCRIPTORS: Cardiovascular Nursing; Heart Failure; Nursing Diagnosis; Nursing Processes. ). Las señales y síntomas de la descompensación, que vienen de la congestión sistémica o pulmonar, fueron utilizadas como base para el reconocimiento de las características determinantes, las cuales posibilitaron la elaboración de los diagnósticos de enfermería prioritarios para eses pacientes.
Objective: to characterize the patients' anxiety in the preoperative period of heart surgery. Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study in which 106 patients, between one and fi ve days from the date of surgery, were interviewed using a socio-demographic questionnaire and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Results: The evaluated patients accounted for 59.4% (63) in minimal anxiety and 19.8% (21) in the range considered severe, and the sample had a mean in the mild anxiety level (15.8±19.79). The women had scores (22.13±23.41) signifi cantly (p=0.003) higher than men (10.76±14.71); as well as patients who had undergone previous heart surgery (24.4±28.05 X 13.14±15.74). There was no signifi cant difference between older adults and younger patients, nor in terms of weight variations, presence of diabetes, or alcoholism. Conclusion: We reinforces the importance of nurses in recognizing the preoperative anxiety and intervene through strategies of health education and nursing visits.

Método: Foi realizado um estudo de corte transversal no qual 106 pacientes, entre um e cinco dias da data da cirurgia, foram entrevistados utilizando-se um questionário sócio-demográfi co próprio e o Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck. Resultados: Os pacientes avaliados se apresentaram em 59,4% (63) na ansiedade mínima e 19,8% (21) na faixa considerada grave, tendo a amostra uma média no nível de ansiedade leve (15,8±19,79). As mulheres tiveram escores (22,13±23,41) signifi cativamente (p=0,003) maiores que os homens (10,76±14,71); assim como os pacientes que já haviam sido submetidos a cirurgia cardíaca prévia (24,4±28,05 X 13,14±15,74). Não houve diferença signifi cativa entre idosos e pacientes adultos mais jovens, nem no tocante as variações de peso, presença de diabetes ou etilismo. Conclusão: Reforça-se a importância do enfermeiro reconhecer a ansiedade pré-operatória e intervir através de estratégias de educação em saúde e visita de enfermagem.

Objective: to evaluate the quality of life of patients who underwent revascularization surgery. Method: a descriptive, crosssectional study, with quantitative approach carried out with 75 patients. The questionnaire WHOQOL-Bref was used to evaluate the quality of life (QOL). Results: patients' QOL evaluation presented a moderate result, with need of improvement of all domains. Low income patients had the worst evaluation of QOL in the domain environment (p=0,021), and the ones from Recife/metropolitan area, in the domain social relationship (p=0,021). Smoker (p=0,047), diabetic (p=0,002) and alcohol consumption (p=0,035) patients presented the worst evaluation of the physical domain. Renal patients presented the worst evaluation of QOL in the physical (P=0,037), psychological (p=0,008), social relationship (p=0,006) domains and total score (p=0,009). Conclusion: the improvement of QOL depends on the individual's process of behavioral change and the participation of health professionals is essential to formulate strategies to approach these patients, especially concerning health education.

Método: estudo descritivo, transversal, com abordagem quantitativa realizado com 75 pacientes. Foi utilizado o questionário WHOQOL-Bref para avaliação da qualidade de vida (QV). Resultados: Pacientes apresentaram avaliação da QV regular, com necessidade de melhora em todos os domínios. Pacientes de baixa renda tiveram pior avaliação da QV no domínio meio ambiente (p=0,021), e os procedentes de Recife/região metropolitana, no domínio relações sociais (p=0,021). Pacientes tabagistas (p=0,047), diabéticos (p=0,002) e etilistas (p=0,035) apresentaram pior avaliação da QV no domínio físico. Pacientes renais apresentaram pior avaliação da QV nos domínios físico (P=0,037), psicológico (p=0,008), relações sociais (p=0,006) e no escore total (p=0,009). Conclusão: a melhoria da QV depende de um processo de mudança de comportamento individual e a participação dos profi ssionais de saúde é essencial para elaborar estratégias de abordagem desses pacientes, principalmente no tocante à educação em saúde.

Objective: To assess the knowledge of patients receiving outpatient treatment on oral anticoagulant therapy. Method: Cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, performed at the Emergency Hospital of Pernambuco (PROCAPE) with 100 individuals. We used specific instrument of 10 questions. Answers to scores assigned subsequently classified as insufficient knowledge, regular and adequate knowledge knowledge after cutoff. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee, CAAE nº30622114.2.0000.5192. Results: Only 39% of subjects had adequate knowledge about treatment. There was statistical significance in pools of knowledge with sex (p = 0.042), age (p = 0.015), years of education (p = 0.021) and average time of outpatient follow-up (p = 0.010). Conclusion: The prevalence of inadequate knowledge (61%) demonstrate the need to implement educational strategies that promote the understanding of the treatment, stimulating drug adherence and reducing possible complications
