- Family health nurse interventions in the diabetes surveillance consultationPublication . Dantas, Maria Jacinta Pereira; Figueiredo, Maria Henriqueta de Jesus; Guedes, VirgíniaBackground: Family health nurses develop interventions aimed at the family as a unit, considering the transitions that occur throughout its life cycle, such as those resulting from the diagnosis of a chronic disease in one of its members, like diabetes. Objective: Identify the interventions performed by the family health nurse in the diabetes surveillance consultation. Methodology: Cross-sectional, exploratory, and descriptive study with a quantitative approach, using a simple randomized sample of 106 people with diabetes, who received nursing consultations from November to December 2019 in three family health units. Results: Twenty-seven assessing interventions were carried out, out of the 30 planned in the data collection tool. The eight planned monitoring interventions were performed. Of the educating type, 15 of the 19 interventions were carried out. Conclusion: Knowledge about the interventions carried out, most of which are diagnostic assessments, can contribute to the management of safe staffing of family health nurses, considering the care provided at all stages of the nursing process.
- Predictors of nursing workload in the diabetes surveillance consultation: exploratory studyPublication . Dantas, Maria Jacinta Pereira; Figueiredo, Maria Henriqueta de Jesus; Dias, António Alberto Cerqueira da SilvaBackground: The study of nursing workload is of interest because inadequate workload impacts the quality of care, patient satisfaction, professional health, and organizational outcomes. Objective: To identify predictors of nursing workload in the diabetes surveillance consultation. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a quantitative approach. A sample of 242 people diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and 44 nurses was used. Data were collected through self-completion by the nurses who participated in the study. Results: The predictors of workload are distributed between care and non-care interventions. In the care domain, the assessing, monitoring, and educating interventions have the highest predictive value. The non-care interventions are care documentation and continuity of care procedures. The workload is reflected in the time spent carrying out the interventions, with a mean consultation time of 44.4 minutes. Conclusion: Care interventions have the highest predictive value for nursing workload, but the non-care domain should be considered.
