- Factors causing stress among nursing students in clinical practice: a scoping reviewPublication . Gomes, Jacinta Maria Pisco Alves; Sousa, Samuel Sampaio; Sá, LuísBackground: Nursing students report factors associated with high levels of stress in clinical practice, which are frequently experienced in this teaching-learning process. Objective: To map the scientific evidence available on factors causing stress among nursing students in clinical practice. Methodology: Scoping review based on the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. The PCC (population, concept, and context) mnemonic was used. Two independent reviewers were involved in the process of selection, extraction, and analysis of articles. Results: Seventeen studies were included. The analysis revealed factors related to personal and professional aspects, to the clinical practice environment/structure and organization, as well as to support systems, namely the supervisory model used in this process. Conclusion: Stress-inducing factors influence the teaching-learning process of students in clinical practice. Therefore, teaching strategies should be designed to ensure the development of students’ skills during clinical practice.
- Nursing care to promote comfort for people in palliative care: a scoping reviewPublication . Ramos, Olga Alexandra Moura; Sá, José Alberto Fernandes Traila Monteiro de; Figuerola, Marta Millan; Gomes, Jacinta Maria Pisco Alves; Augusto, Maria Cristina Bompastor; Gomes, Maria José Almendra RodriguesIntroduction: Understanding the meaning and significance of comfort for people in palliative care can be a challenge for nurses when defining care. Objective: To map the available scientific evidence on nursing care that promotes comfort for people in palliative care. Materials and methods: This is a literature review based on the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A complete search was conducted in the Medline Complete, Cinahl Complete, Scopus, Web of Science, Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal, and OpenGrey databases. Primary studies were included, with quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods designs, published between January 2014 and March 2023, in Portuguese, English, or Spanish. The search syntax was adjusted for each database. A combination of MeSH, text words, and indexing terms using the boolean operators AND and OR was used. Truncation * was used to enhance the search. Results: 681 articles were found, of which 239 were duplicates. A total of 442 studies were analyzed and 409 were excluded for not reflecting the theme. The full texts from 33 articles were retrieved, of which eight were included in the review. Comfort-promoting nursing care integrates the physical, psychospiritual, environmental, and sociocultural dimensions. Of particular relevance are the implementation of pharmacological measures, respect for religious and cultural beliefs, encouragement for the presence of family members, communication, and the relaxation of rules. Conclusions: Promoting comfort for patients in palliative care includes direct care and support for the family. The individualization of care and the response to specific needs can result in relief, ease, and transcendence.
