Abstract:
Inappropriate prescribing (IP) is a major healthcare problem in elderly patients. The risk of this problem increases during hospitalization. This is due to increase morbidity and thus increases the use of medications by the inpatients. This study will clarify the problem of IP for elderly people during hospitalization and will identify the different types of it. It also will highlight some tools that are used to assess the different types of IP and the prevalence of it in elderly patients during hospitalization. Finally, the study will address the consequences of IP in the elderly inpatients and the risks associated with the use of some potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) in the elderly.

Abstract:
People with dementia are hospitalized for a variety of reasons. The combination of dementia with additional health conditions creates a unique challenge to caregivers in acute care settings. There is a dearth of information available to provide guidance to the nursing staff caring for these patients. This integrated review of the literature examined the experiences of hospitalization from the perspective of the older adult with dementia, the family caregiver, and the patient care staff. Results showed a limited body of literature that addressed hospital experiences of people with dementia and those of family and professional caregivers. Additionally, few studies addressing this topic have been conducted in the United States. The primary finding from this study is that better communication is needed between nursing staff, patients, and their family caregivers. Nurses should carry out detailed assessments of cognition and pain in all elderly patients, and strive to provide appropriate palliative and end-of-life care. Dementia- specific training for all staff members may help to promote a better understanding of patients with dementia. Lastly, further research into the experiences of hospitalized dementia patients is needed, with a focus on acute care settings within the United States.

Abstract:
As inquietações por estudar esta temática apreendendo quais significados atribuem os enfermeiros ao cuidar do paciente idoso, hospitalizado, em fase terminal, surgiu a partir de experiências pessoais. Minha inquietação aumentou com a prática profissional, notando que, o pessoal que atendia aos idosos, em fase terminal, em sua maioria, era auxiliar de enfermagem, sem nenhuma formação específca para este cuidado. Assim, ao surgir a oportunidade de ingressar no doutorado em enfermagem, emergiu, novamente, a inquietação que há muitos anos vinha se instalando: O quê significa para a enfermeira o cuidado do idoso, em seu encontro com a morte, no mundo hospitalar? Desta forma, a proposta foi possibilitar que suas experiências, manifestadas por meio do discurso verbal e não verbal, pudessem aproximar-me do mundo que elas habitam nos hospitais e saber quais significados atribuem a esta experiência para propor um novo pensar sobre este cuidado. Tratou-se de um estudo conduzido segundo uma abordagem qualitativa, pertinente às questões muito particulares de um objeto cuja natureza não pode ser quantificada. A investigação foi desenvolvida com enfermeiros que trabalham nos hospitais públicos, na cidade de Celaya, Guanajuato, pelo fato de atenderem à maioria da população idosa. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de 12 entrevistas, conduzidas segundo a abordagem fenomenológica, a partir de uma questão norteadora proposta aos enfermeiros. Durante a investigação, pude apreender que, para eles, a vivência do cuidado do paciente, enquanto profissionais de enfermagem, envolve vários aspectos como as especificidades da pessoa da qual se cuida, como suas características físicas, emocionais, sociais e espirituais. Foi descrito ainda como sendo o ato de ajudar o paciente a morrer. No entanto, muitas vezes, procuram realizá-lo de forma a protelar a morte, como um impulso para conservar a vida daquele que está morrendo. Esse cuidado é proporcionado em um mundo concreto - geralmente, o hospital - e é um desafio manifestado pelos enfermeiros de forma a permitir o respeito às decisões do paciente e de sua família. Da mesma forma, as políticas das instituições de saúde pública necessitam serem revistas para que o familiar possa permanecer próximo do idoso em fase terminal, pois é seu direito morrer em companhia dos seus, de forma a ter uma morte digna. Reconhece-se, cada vez mais, que este cuidado é uma especialidade de enfermagem que requer conhecimentos e capacidades profissionais específicos e uma determinada estrutura de carreira profissional.
The restlessness for studying this theme, and learn about the meanings that nurses assign to caring for dying older patients, aroused from personal experiences. My restlessness increased with professional practice, and I noticed that the majority of the staff who cared for older, terminal patients were auxiliary nurses, with no specific training for this particular health care practice. Hence, when I ran across the opportunity to enter the nursing doctorate program, this restlessness, which had been present for many years, emerged once again: What does it mean, for nurses, to care for older individuals, as they face death, in the hospital environment? Therefore, the purpose was to permit that their experiences, reported both verbally and non-verbally, could bring me closer to the world they inhabit in the hospitals, and learn about the meanings that they assign to this experience. That way, I would be able to propose a new thought concerning this care. This study used a qualitative approach, pertinent to the very specific issues of an object whose nature cannot be quantified. The research was developed with nurses working in public hospitals in the city of Celaya, Guanajuato, because they care for the majority of the elderly population. Data collection occurred through 12 interviews, conducted according to the phenomenological approach, based on a guiding question directed to nurses. During the research, I learned that, for the nurses, the experience of caring for the patients involves various aspects like the specificities of the person being cared for, as well as his or her physical, emotional, social, and spiritual characteristics. Nurses also reported that their work was the act of helping the patient to die. However, nurses often seek to, through their work, postpone death, as an impulse to preserve the life of who is dying. This care is provided in a concrete world - usually the hospital - and nurses state that it is a challenge to respect patients\' and their family\'s decisions. Similarly, public health institution policies should be reviewed so as to permit relatives to stay close to terminal patients, since it is their right to die in the company of their loved ones, as a way of having a dignified death. It has been more and more recognized that his care is a nursing specialty that requires specific professional knowledge and skills, besides a particular professional career structure.

Abstract:
Digitala spel har tidigare utvecklats för att på olika sätt stödja rehabilitering av patienter både fysiskt och psykiskt. För att lyckas med dessa spel krävs specifika element för att skapa en spelupplevelse. Dessutom krävs anpassning av det grafiska gränssnittet för att patienten ska ha möjlighet att använda spelet trots sina begränsningar. Dessa spel har dock haft fokus på specifika fall eller sjukdomar, exempelvis rehabilitering efter stroke. Problemet denna studie ämnar att lösa är det faktum att sjukhuspatienter får för lite motion. Då det blir vanligare att patienterna har egna rum blir de bekväma och isolerar sig, något som resulterar i minskad social interaktion. För att adressera detta problem utvecklade studien en spelprototyp för sjukhuspatienter. Studien genomförde åtta användartester som observerades och följdes upp med intervjuer för att utvärdera den slutgiltiga prototypen. Resultatet sammanställdes till en lista med riktlinjer för hur spel kan designas för att motivera patienter till rörelse
Video games is a proven solution to your website to support patients rehabilitation, both physically and mentally. A numbered I was a great of elements are required to create a successful game for the specific audience. The game needs a combination of components to create a game experience and customization to the graphical user interface to support the user's limitations. These games are usually created for a specific kind of rehabilitation, i.e rehabilitation for stroke patients. This paper aims to study the issue with hospitalized patients not getting enough exercise during their stay. Since more and more patients receive separate rooms they also get less social interaction due to isolation. The study will develop a digital game prototype for hospitalized patients with the aim to solve this problem. The study performed eight user tests for the final prototype. The tests consisted of observations followed by interviews. The test results were then compiled into a list with design guidelines about how to create a digital, motivational, exercise game for hospitalized patients.

Abstract:
Older people admitted to hospital are at high risk of rehospitalization and medication errors. We have demonstrated, in a randomized controlled trial, that a clinical pharmacist intervention reduces the incidence of revisits to hospital for patients aged 80 years or older admitted to an acute internal medicine ward. The aims of this thesis were to further study the effects of the intervention and to investigate possibilities of targeting the intervention by identifying predictors of treatment response or adverse health outcomes. The effect of the pharmacist intervention on the appropriateness of prescribing was assessed, by using three validated tools. This study showed that the quality of prescribing was improved for the patients in the intervention group but not for those in the control group. However, no association between the appropriateness of prescribing at discharge and revisits to hospital was observed. Subgroup analyses explored whether the clinical pharmacist intervention was equally effective in preventing emergency department visits in patients with few or many prescribed drugs and in those with different levels of inappropriate prescribing on admission. The intervention appeared to be most effective in patients taking fewer drugs, but the treatment effect was not altered by appropriateness of prescribing. The most relevant risk factors for rehospitalization and mortality were identified for the same study population, and a score for risk-estimation was constructed and internally validated (the 80+ score). Seven variables were selected. Impaired renal function, pulmonary disease, malignant disease, living in a nursing home, being prescribed an opioid and being prescribed a drug for peptic ulcer or gastroesophageal reflux disease were associated with an increased risk, while being prescribed an antidepressant drug (tricyclic antidepressants not included) was linked with a lower risk. These variables made up the components of the 80+ score. Pending external validation, this score has potential to aid identification of high-risk patients. The last study investigated the occurrence of prescription errors when patients with multi-dose dispensed (MDD) drugs were discharged from hospital. Twenty-five percent of the MDD orders contained at least one medication prescription error. Almost half of the errors were of moderate or major severity, with potential to cause increased health-care utilization.

Abstract:
Given the complexity of medicines use in elderly patients, structures and processes of medicines management are key to deriving best outcomes. This research was conducted in hospitals in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and focused on the patient journey from admission to discharge. The overall aim was to explore the structures and processes of medicines management in elderly hospitalised patients in the UAE, conducted in three phases. Phase 1. Following a review of systematic reviews of aspects of medicines management (e.g. reconciliation), this phase focused on a specific, emerging tool (the Drug Burden Index (DBI)) relating to anticholinergic/sedative agents, which are problematic in the elderly. The aim was to critically appraise, synthesize and present evidence of DBI use. The review protocol was registered with the Joanna Briggs Institute and conducted according to best accepted practice. The key finding was the lack of evidence of DBI use prospectively to identify potentially inappropriate prescribing. Phase 2. Phase 2 employed a qualitative phenomenological design to explore health professionals’ views and experiences of medicines management. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 professionals and analysed using Normalization Process Theory (NPT) and the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). Findings revealed little evidence of coherence, cognitive participation, collective action and reflexive monitoring (NPT). TDF domains dominant were: professional role, identity; beliefs about capabilities; beliefs about consequences; environmental context, resources; and knowledge. Phase 3. The Delphi technique in phase 3 aimed to determine consensus around medicines management using an expert panel of policy makers, educators and lead health professionals. Phase 1 and 2 findings were used in construction of validated statements. A high level of consensus (≥70% strongly agree/agree) was obtained for statements other than those for targeting medicines management (rather than all elderly admissions) and tasks linked to professions (rather than trained staff). Overall, this research has generated original findings focused on the entire inpatient hospital journey, particularly the need to more clearly define, refine and agree on healthcare structures and processes across the entire patient journey from admission to discharge. The use of the NPT and TDF has highlighted those individual practitioners and organisational issues which require consideration.

Abstract:
Pneumonia consists of inflammation of the pulmonary parenchyma, typically resulting from a microbial infection. Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) occurs in (typically elderly) patients in long-term care facilities, with regular IV therapy, with immunosuppression, or with a history of recent treatment at a hospital. It is associated with high mortality. The majority HAP patients present with some constellation of cough, fever, sputum production, and pleuritic chest pain. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis are at increased risk for pneumonia. The Infectious Disease Society of America requires infiltrates on chest x-ray or other imaging for the diagnosis of pneumonia. For hospitalized patients, empiric antimicrobial therapy for HAP should be given as soon as pneumonia is highly suspected. There is currently a vaccine available against Streptococcus pneumonia that all patients should be offered before discharge from the hospital. The elderly are already more susceptible to HAP due to decreased mobility and increased comorbidities.

Abstract:
Oliguria can be caused by any factor that affects renal function, or the free passage of urine down the urinary tract. Complete anuria most commonly occurs in men as a consequence of bladder outlet obstruction from an enlarged prostate. It can also arise in patients who have a single functioning kidney which then becomes obstructed or loses its vascular supply. Oliguria occurs commonly in hospitalized patients, is usually secondary to impaired renal perfusion, and is often predictable. The elderly and more unwell patients, for example, those in critical care settings, are most at risk. The presence of oliguria tends to reflect the severity of the underlying disease processes. The commonest cause of complete anuria is bladder outflow obstruction from an enlarged prostate. This may be precipitated by prostatitis or constipation in a patient with benign prostatic hypertrophy. In catheterized patients, a blocked catheter must be excluded.

Abstract:
Older or elderly adults represent a population exposed to potentially inappropriate prescriptions, since medication is the most widely used intervention. The objective of this work is to analyze the type of medication schemes of the elderly and the relationship with their states of psychological well-being. It is a cross-sectional study. Results: inappropriate prescription is of the order of 16% and the perception of quality of life was 56.8, finding an association between inappropriate prescription and perception of quality of life. Conclusions: The results showed that inappropriate prescription is highly frequent in these patients and that psychological well-being states would be related to this inappropriate prescription.

Abstract:
Age is associated with an increased risk of infection because of individual susceptibility (immunosenescence, comorbidities, malnutrition, functional status), as well as collective risk factors. Outcomes are also of concern, because for all infections, older patients exhibit higher short and long-term mortality rates. Over the last decade, subgroups of older populations (either community-dwelling, hospitalized or nursing home residents) have been distinguished, because epidemiological data regarding infections differ between these groups in terms of incidence, type, severity, and microbiology. Although urinary tract and respiratory tract infections appear to be the most frequent infections in these specific populations, skin/soft tissue and gastrointestinal infections, as well as meningitis are frequent in community-acquired infection (CAI), whereas outbreaks (respiratory and gastrointestinal) are more specific to nursing home infections, and antibiotic resistance is emerging as a major issue for both hospitalized and nursing home elder populations.

Abstract:
Myxoedema coma is the extreme expression of severe hypothyroidism and fortunately is quite rare. The first reported case appears to have been in 1879 by Ord from St Thomas’s Hospital, London. Two other patients who died in a hypothyroid coma were reported in 1888 in the proceedings of the Clinical Society of London (1). The next cases in the literature appeared in 1953 (2, 3), and some 300 cases have since been reported. Epidemiological data indicate an incidence rate of 0.22/1 000 000 per year (4). The most common presentation of the syndrome is in hospitalized elderly women with long-standing hypothyroidism, with 80% of cases occurring in women over 60 years of age. However, myxoedema coma occurs in younger patients as well, with 36 documented cases occurring during pregnancy (5, 6). In spite of early diagnosis and treatment, the mortality rate may be as high as 40–60%.

Abstract:
As we have seen, ECT involves modest discomfort, minimal risk, and almost no contraindications to its use. Headache, backache, nausea, and vomiting are the most frequent immediate complaints. These are relieved by mild analgesics and occasionally by the choice of anesthetic. Spine fractures were a complicating risk of the early treatments, but they are now prevented by muscle relaxation. In the past, seizures were sometimes prolonged and did not end promptly. Prolonged seizures are now avoided by precise energy dosing and attention to anesthesia related to the patient’s age. When a prolonged seizure does occur, it is readily recognized and treated. The risk of death during ECT is very low, less than that of women delivering spontaneous births. It is surprising that death is so rare since half of the patients are elderly, many ill with severe systemic infirmities or critical illnesses. The low mortality rate reflects the inherent safety of modern procedures. Indeed, some reports find that the lifetime death rates for hospitalized psychiatric patients who have received ECT are lower than the rates of those who have not. The mortality rate from natural causes is lower for those treated with ECT than for those who have not. Suicide rates are higher, however. The common memory loss associated with ECT is the main hurdle patients and their families face in accepting the treatment. Images of a patient losing the memory of his past life, his work skills, the names of his children and friends, and the ability to care for himself, much like a patient with Alzheimer’s disease, are so prevalent that doctors hesitate to recommend the treatment and many patients refuse permission even when it may be their principal lifesaving option. Such images are false. The fear of memory loss is based largely on reports by patients who were treated without anesthesia or ventilation with oxygen in the first decades of the treatment’s use. Such treatments were accompanied by severe, and often persistent, impairments in memory. Clinical practice changed and our treatments are no longer associated with these devastating problems, as careful attention is now paid to oxygenation throughout the procedure and to technical features that minimize the impact of the stimulus, anesthesia, and the seizure on memory.

Abstract:
Introduction: Delirium has a high prevalence in hospitalized elderly patients. This is due to low hospital detection and the absence of a screening instrument. Objective: evaluate predictive variables in the development of delirium in na in-hospital environment. Methods: Cross-sectional study. Data collection was carried out between 2015-2016, with a sample of 493 elderly people. The variables used were age, sex, the reason for hospitalization, Identification of Elderly at Risk (ISAR), delirium during hospitalization using the Confusion Assessment Method, frailty using the Edmonton Scale, the impact of comorbidities by the Charlson Index and hospital immobility. Predictive variables were identified through logistic regression. Results: 469 elderly people were taken. The presence of delirium during hospitalization was mostly observed between 80 and 89 years old (n = 12), female (n = 16), with the most common reasons for hospitalization due to fractures (n = 6) and accident brain vascular (n = 11), 79% chance of surviving in one year using the Charlson Index (n = 11) and with ISAR> 2 (n = 26). There are important associations for the development of delirium for patients who have a 98% chance of surviving in one year (p = 0.05) and with ISAR <2 (p = 0.027), with a 34% increased chance and 38%, respectively. Conclusion: It is observed that, by the results, the predictive variables of inhospital delirium are patients with a 98% chance of survival and with ISAR <2.

Abstract:
Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized as an injury or functional damage to the brain caused by traumatic aggression, and is still considered a public health problem. Objectives: To analyze the epidemiological profile of patients hospitalized due to TBI in the Northeast region of the country. Methodology: This is a descriptive, epidemiological study, from January 2009 to December 2019, with data from DATASUS - Ministry of Health. Results: Between 2009 and 2019 there were 299,001 hospitalizations and 30,257 deaths. With 73,133, a presentation from Bahia the highest number of hospitalizations and Pernambuco the highest number of deaths with 6,903 cases. The male gender had the highest number of hospitalizations (78.9%) and deaths (82.6%). Young adults, between 20 and 39 years old, accounted for 40% of hospitalizations and 37.5% of deaths, possibly due to sociocultural and behavioral characteristics. The highest mortality rate was registered in the elderly (21.5%). There was a predominance of brown race in hospitalizations (84.6%) and in deaths (85.5%). In the eleven-year period, there was an increase of 28% in the number of admissions by the TBI, and an increase of 94.7% in hospital costs. Only the state of Paraíba registered a reduction in hospitalizations and deaths due to TBI in the referred period. Conclusion: There is a general worsening in the region, and it is important to formulate education and health policies to reduce TBI morbidity and mortality in the Northeast region of Brazil.
