Trajetórias precursoras da Enfermagem de Reabilitação na Guerra Colonial Portuguesa
Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, a criação da ONU influenciou movimentos de independência colonial. Portugal resistiu, enfrentando a Guerra Colonial, que influenciou o desenvolvimento da enfermagem de reabilitação. Objetivo: Analisar as práticas precursoras de enfermagem de reabilitação na Guerra Colonial Portuguesa. Metodologia: Uso do método histórico para sumula da narrativa histórica. Resultados: O desenvolvimento na saúde tornou necessário uma…
A three step protocol for the development of an innovative footwear (shoe and sensor based insole) to prevent diabetic foot ulceration
Background: The incidence of diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) is increasing worldwide. Therapeutic footwear is usually recommended in clinical practice for preventing foot ulcers in persons with diabetes. The project Science DiabetICC Footwear aims to develop innovative footwear to prevent DFU, specifically a shoe and sensor-based insole, which will allow for monitoring pressure, temperature, and humidity parameters. Method: This study presents a t…
Documenting fall episodes
Documentation is an important measure for the management of fall risk because it concentrates the attention of professionals, raises awareness of the existence of fall risk factors, and promotes action to eliminate or minimize them. This study aimed to map the evidence on information to document episodes of falls in older adults. We opted for a scoping review, which followed the Joanna Briggs Institute protocol for this kind of study. The researc…
End-User Assessment of an Innovative Clothing-Based Sensor Developed for Pressure Injury Prevention
This study aimed to evaluate a clothing prototype that incorporates sensors for the evaluation of pressure, temperature, and humidity for the prevention of pressure injuries, namely regarding physical and comfort requirements. A mixed-method approach was used with concurrent quantitative and qualitative data triangulation. A structured questionnaire was applied before a focus group of experts to evaluate the sensor prototypes. Data were analyzed …
Design of Innovative Clothing for Pressure Injury Prevention
The global relevance of pressure injury (PI) prevention technologies arise from their impact on the quality of life of people with limited mobility and the costs associated with treating these preventable injuries. The purpose of this mixed methods study is to evaluate the design of a prototype integrating Smart Health Textiles for PI prevention based on feedback from specialist nurses who care for individuals who are prone to or have PIs. This i…
Prácticas de enfermería en la reeducación profesional de los soldados en la Casa Pía de Lisboa durante la Primera Guerra Mundial
In the period of the First Republic in Portugal, during the First World War, professional re-education was implemented, based on the teaching experience of Casa Pia in Lisbon, and was particularly important in the recovery of mutilated and maimed soldiers. Objective: To interpret and analyse the nurses' practices in the professional re-education of Portuguese soldiers at the Santa Izabel Institute for the Re-education of War Mutilates at Casa Pia…
Baropodometric Assessment of the Podiatric Profile of Nursing Students in Clinical Settings
Introduction: Nursing students are exposed to increased risks of developing foot and ankle disorders due to prolonged standing and walking positions during clinical settings. This can lead to high dropout rates from nursing degree, thus contributing to a future shortage in nursing professionals. This protocol aims to develop a study to understand the influence of prolonged standing and walking positions on nursing students' foot health, and speci…
Wearable Walking Assistant for Freezing of Gait With Environmental IoT Monitoring
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, significantly increasing in the last three decades. Worldwide, seven to ten million people are affected by PD. In people living with PD, freezing of gait (FoG) significantly impacts activities of daily living, potentially leading to falls, injuries, and loss of autonomy. FoG prevalence rates vary widely, reaching at least 50% of patients with PD. Current therapeutic opt…
Nurses’ Involvement in the Development and Usability Assessment of an Innovative Peripheral Intravenous Catheterisation Pack
The developed pack appears to be a promising device that can assist healthcare professionals in providing efficient and safe care to patients requiring a PIVC. Future studies in real clinical settings are warranted to test its cost-effectiveness
Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Placement in a Cardiology Ward
Intravenous therapy administration through peripheral venous catheters is one of the most common nursing procedures performed in clinical contexts. However, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) remain insufficiently used by nurses and can be considered a potential alternative for patients who need aggressive intravenous therapy and/or therapy for extended periods. The purpose of this study was to understand nurses' perspectives about PI…
Aprender Em Projetos De Investigação Durante a Licenciatura Em Enfermagem
Introdução: O desenvolvimento da investigação e a emergência de uma prática baseada na evidência são um desafio claro para a educação dos futuros profissionais de saúde, aos quais são requeridas competências de pesquisa, leitura e utilização correta dos resultados da investigação na prática clínica. Objetivos: Identificar o que aprendem os estudantes de enfermagem com o envolvimento em projetos de investigação, durante a licenciatura. Métodos: A …
An Innovative Concept for a Walker with a Self-Locking Mechanism Using a Single Mechanical Approach
Background: The ageing process involves a natural degeneration of physiological function and can imply life constraints, namely during activities of daily life (ADL). Walking can be strongly affected by strength, gait, and balance changes, which affect quality of life. The quality of life of the older adult is associated with available solutions that contribute to an active and safe ageing process. Most of these solutions involve technical aids t…
Impact of an Innovative Securement Dressing and Tourniquet in Peripheral Intravenous Catheter-Related Complications and Contamination
Reusable tourniquets and conventional securement dressings are considered risk factors for the occurrence of reported complications and catheter-related bloodstream infections. This study's purpose is to assess the impact of single-use disposable tourniquets and advanced occlusive polyurethane dressings with reinforced cloth borders on peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC)-related complications and contamination. A pre- and post-interventional p…
