- Conditioning factors for the development of the self-care competence in the person with a tracheostomyPublication . Queirós, Sílvia; Santos, Célia; Brito, Alice; Pinto, IgorBackground: The development of the self-care competence in the person with a stoma promotes a healthy transition to a life with a stoma. Studies suggest the existence of factors conditioning the development of the ostomy self-care competence. Objectives: To identify the conditioning factors for the development of the self-care competence in the person with atracheostomy. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was conducted in a nonprobability sample composed of 80 participants. Data were collected using the “Assessment Form of the Self-Care Competence in the Person with a Tracheostomy. Results: The conditioning factors for the development of the tracheostomy self-care competence were: being a man, having low schooling, having had an emergency surgery, having a temporary ostomy, and having a caregiver. The postoperative period proved to be a facilitating factor. Conclusion: The recognition of the existence of factors conditioning the development of the tracheostomy self-care competence allows nurses to identify conditions of vulnerability in their patients and adapt their interventions with a view to enhancing their autonomy.
- Nursing process related to the nursing focus “airway clearance”: a scoping reviewPublication . Gaspar, Luís; Reis, Neuza; Sousa, Paula; Silva, Abel Paiva e; Cardoso, Alexandrina; Brito, Alice; Bastos, Fernanda; Campos, Joana; Parente, Paulo; Pereira, Filipe; Machado, NatáliaBackground: Airway clearance impairment has a significant impact on self-care and quality of life. Identifying clinical data, nursing diagnoses, and nursing interventions is essential to clinical reasoning and enhancing nursing care. This study aims to map the existing evidence on clinical data, nursing diagnoses, and nursing interventions addressing the nursing focus on “airway clearance”. Methods: Research was conducted based on Joanna Briggs’s Scoping Review Methodology. We searched four databases for published studies until December 2023. Results: From the initial 1854 studies identified, 123 were included in the review. The findings highlighted two areas of nursing attention: one related to signs and symptom management, and the other related to education and coping strategies. The data that led to nursing diagnoses were divided into cognitive and clinical data. The nursing diagnoses were mostly related to secretion retention, excessive mucus production, and airway obstruction. The most commonly identified nursing interventions were educational interventions assembled into predesigned education programs rather than patient-tailored programs. Conclusions: Findings can add substantial value for systematizing the nursing process related to “airway clearance”, improving nursing decision-making and care quality. This study was prospectively registered with the Open Science Framework (OSF) on 02 December 2022, with the registration number wx5ze.
