“…The ALNM and Expressing Sexuality relates to issues that are beyond sex and sexual relationships, is an essential component of adult relationships, and is also expressed in personality and behavior [10]. As found in this study, sexual health can sometimes be overlooked during the acute phase as patients, families, and healthcare professionals focus efforts on clinical stabilization and regaining independence in self-care and mobility [46][47][48]. This was also a reality in this study.…”

Living with spinal cord injury (SCI) is a challenge that begins in the acute phase, when the disease, the limitations, and the treatments fill the days at the hospital. This study aims to understand the healthcare experience of the person with SCI in the acute phase, based on the Activities of Living Nursing Model (ALNM). It is a qualitative and phenomenological study based on the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was performed using the ATLAS.ti software and Bardin’s methodology. The article was written following the COREQ guidelines. The categories were defined using the Roper–Logan–Tierney Model for Nursing. The sample included 16 people with incomplete SCI, different etiology, and neurological levels. Eleven of the twelve ALNM emerged from the interviews. The activities of mobilizing, eliminating, maintaining a safe environment, and communicating were emphasized the most. Controlling body temperature was not relevant. Mobility deficits and pain increased dependence. Feelings of motivation, encouragement, and frustration were highlighted. Professional expertise, rehabilitation resources, and support equipment promoted independence. The results in this sample revealed that people with SCI in the acute phase have complex challenges related to dependence awareness and treatments, but they always keep recovery expectations in mind.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introdução: A lesão medular (LM), traz consequências devastadoras do ponto de vista biológico, psicológico e social confrontando a pessoa com múltiplos e complexos desafios. Um programa de reabilitação multidisciplinar deve ser estabelecido desde a fase aguda, com enfase na prevenção de complicações, na promoção do autocuidado, na reeducação funcional e na reinserção social. O enfermeiro de reabilitação tem um papel relevante acompanhando a os primeiros passos dos percursos de autonomia da pessoa com LM. Com este estudo pretende-se mapear áreas de intervenção de enfermagem promotoras de independência e autonomia em pessoas com LM em fase aguda e subaguda. Metodologia: Revisão do tipo Scoping, com base no modelo do Joanna Briggs Institute. A formulação da questão de investigação baseou-se no acrónimo PCC (População, Conceito e Contexto). Os artigos foram extraídos das bases de dados Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo, PubMed, CINALH e APA PsycInfo, redigidos em português e inglês, com limite temporal 2011-2021. Resultados: dos 437 estudos identificados incluíram-se 69 na revisão. Formaram-se 10 categorias de áreas de intervenção de enfermagem promotoras de independência e autonomia na pessoa com LM. Foi evidenciada a importância de intervenções promotoras do bem-estar psicológico e de programas de educação para a promoção do autocuidado, prevenção de complicações e regresso a casa seguro. Conclusão: Garantir uma resposta de tratamento onde se inclui reabilitação adequada e atempada, ainda na fase aguda e subaguda, seguida por serviços de apoio e ambientes acessíveis, ajudarão a minimizar a interrupção dos projetos de vida das pessoas com LM e suas famílias. As áreas de cuidado à pessoa com LM em fase aguda, enquadram-se nas competências específicas do enfermeiro de reabilitação.
