Academic literature on the topic 'Misscarige'

OBJECTIVE: The aims of this methodological research were to culturally adapt the MISSCARE Survey instrument to Brazil and analyze the internal consistency of the adapted version. METHOD: The instrument consists of 41 items, presented in two parts. Part A contains 24 items listing elements of missed nursing care. Part B is comprised of 17 items, related to the reasons for not delivering care. The research received ethics committee approval and was undertaken in two phases. The first was the cultural adaptation process, in which a committee of five experts verified the face and content validity, in compliance with the steps recommended in the literature. The second was aimed at analyzing the internal consistency of the instrument, involving 60 nursing team professionals at a public teaching hospital. RESULTS: According to the experts, the instrument demonstrated face and content validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for parts A and B surpassed 0.70 and were considered appropriate. CONCLUSION: The adapted version of the MISSCARE Survey demonstrated satisfactory face validity and internal consistency for the study sample.

Background and Purpose: Health care error causes inpatient morbidity and mortality. This study pooled the items from preexisting nursing error questionnaires and tested the psychometric properties of modified subscales from these item combinations. Methods: Items from MISSCARE Part A, Part B, and the Practice and Professional Issues were collected from 556 registered nurses. Principal component analyses were completed for items measuring (a) nursing error and (b) antecedents to error. Results: Acceptable factor loadings and internal consistency reliability (.70–.89) were found for subscales Acute Care Missed Nursing Care, Errors of Commission, Workload, Supplies Problems, and Communication Problems. Conclusions: The findings support the use of 5 subscales to measure nursing error and antecedents to error in various inpatient unit types with acceptable validity and reliability. The Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Omissions subscale is not appropriate for all inpatient unit types.

Chromosomal aberrations account for approximately 50% of fetal losses prior to the 15th week of gestation. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in frequencies and distribution of chromosomal aberrations in sporadic and habitual abortions. During a seven year period (2007.-2014.), we have analyzed 380 samples of chorionic villi after missed abortion in the Clinic for gynecology and obstetrics, Clinical center of Serbia. After first misscariage we analyzed 268 samples, and after habitual abortions 112 samples. For statistical analysis, we used ?? test. Karyotype analysis revealed chromosomal aberrations in 22,4% (85/380) of all samples. In the group after first abortion, we found an aberrant karyotype in 15,7% (42/268) of cases. In the group with habitual abortions, chromosomal aberrations were detected in 38,4% (43/112) of cases. Statistical analysis showed significant difference between these two groups, ?2=11,34> ?2(1 I 0,05)=3,841i p<0,05. The distribution of chromosomal aberrations was similar in both groups. Also, in both groups, numerical chromosomal aberrations were the most common. The identification of cytogenetic causes is an important component in miscarriage etiology investigation, and it is recommended in order to improve genetic counseling of an involved couple.

Bakgrund: Infertilitet är en sjukdom i reproduktionssystemet som definieras av att en klinisk graviditet inte uppnås efter 12 månader eller mer av regelbundet oskyddat samlag. Cirka tio procent av par i fertil ålder världen över drabbas av ofrivillig barnlöshet. Hos ungefär 30 % av paren finns ingen förklaring till infertiliteten. Ofrivillig barnlöshet kan leda till långvarig kris och psykisk ohälsa. En god kosthållning kan ge olika hälsofördelar. Att vägleda och hjälpa dessa par med kostråd skulle kunna leda till bättre psykisk och fysisk hälsa samt ekonomiska besparingar för samhället. Syfte: Belysa kostens betydelse för fertiliteten. Metod: En systematisk litteratursökning. Databassökning genomfördes i CINAHL och PubMed  som resulterade i sju vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Hemlagad mat, Medelhavsdiet, frukt & grönsaker, mjölkprodukter, kostfiber och omättat fett främjar fertiliteten. Socker, snabbmat och mättat fett är ogynnsamt för fertiliteten. Konklusion: Bevis har framkommit som tyder på att kosten har betydelse för kvinnors fertilitet. Implikation: En studie som finner ett resultat som påtalar att någon kost kan påverka fertiliteten kan utgöra grund för kostrådgivning som kan leda till färre fall av oönskad infertilitet och besparingar för samhället. Mer forskning inom området behövs.
Background: Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system defined by the fact that a clinical pregnancy is not achieved after 12 months or more of regular unprotected intercourse. Around ten percent of the fertile couples worldwide suffer involuntary infertility. In about 30 % of the cases there is no explanation for infertility. Involuntary infertility can lead to long-term crises and mental illness. A good diet can lead to better health. Helping these patients could lead to better mental health and physical health and economic savings for society. Purpose: To highlight the impact of the diet for fertility. Method: A systematic review. Database search was made in CINAHL and PubMed that resulted in seven scientific articles. Result: Homemade food, Mediterranean diet, fruits & vegetables, diary, dietary fiber and unsaturated fats are promoting fertility. Sugar, fast food and saturated fat are unfavorable for fertility. Conclusion: Evidence has emerged that the diet is important for women's fertility. Implication: A study that would find that a particular diet would have an impact on fertility could be useful in diet counselling that could lead to less cases of  infertility and  savings for society. More research in this area is needed.

Durante o cotidiano do trabalho em serviços de saúde, os profissionais de enfermagem podem sentir-se impossibilitados de realizar todos os cuidados que são necessários aos pacientes e, diante de múltiplas demandas e recursos insuficientes, podem abreviar o cuidado, atrasá-lo ou simplesmente omiti-lo. A omissão de cuidados de enfermagem pode apresentar implicações negativas nos resultados assistenciais aos pacientes. Os objetivos deste estudo metodológico foram investigar aspectos dos cuidados de enfermagem e outras razões para a omissão do cuidado, que não estão incluídas na versão norte-americana do instrumento MISSCARE, propor a versão em português brasileiro do instrumento e testar as suas propriedades psicométricas. A pesquisa foi realizada em duas fases. A primeira fase consistiu na avaliação da validade de face e de conteúdo do instrumento em português, cuja validação inicial havia sido feita em estudo anterior em 2012. Os dados foram coletados em fevereiro de 2015, por meio de grupos focais com profissionais de enfermagem: três enfermeiros, um técnico e três auxiliares de enfermagem. Os resultados levaram à construção da versão MISSCARE-BRASIL, a partir do acréscimo ao instrumento original, de quatro novos itens na Parte A e 11 novos itens na Parte B. A segunda fase desta pesquisa foi a análise psicométrica do instrumento MISSCARE-BRASIL, conduzida com uma amostra aleatória de 330 profissionais da grade populacional de 1618 membros da equipe de enfermagem atuantes em hospital público de ensino. Os dados foram coletados entre abril e maio de 2015. Em relação à caracterização dos participantes, houve predomínio de mulheres, entre 25 e 44 anos, com ensino médio e mais de 10 anos de experiência, trabalhando em turnos de 6 horas e mais de 30 horas semanais. Em relação à função, 39,7% eram auxiliares de enfermagem, 33% técnicos em enfermagem, 20,9% enfermeiros e 6,4% enfermeiros com função administrativa. Quanto às propriedades do instrumento, em relação à validade de constructo convergente, obtiveram-se correlações moderadas entre as variáveis da omissão do cuidado do MISSCARE e as variáveis \"Satisfação com o cargo/função\" e \"Satisfação com o trabalho em equipe\". Houve uma correlação fraca entre a variável \"Satisfação com a profissão\" e as variáveis de omissão, onde o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman variou de 0,22 a 0,24. A análise fatorial confirmatória evidenciou bom ajuste do modelo de medida e manteve a estrutura fatorial inicialmente proposta na versão original do MISSCARE. O modelo ampliado do MISSCARE-BRASIL também se apresentou ajustado de modo regular à estrutura dimensional proposta na versão original. Quanto à confiabilidade, as versões MISSCARE e MISSCARE-BRASIL apresentaram valores de alfa de Cronbach maiores que 0,70, considerados aceitáveis para uma boa consistência interna dos itens. Conclui-se que as versões MISSCARE e MISSCARE-BRASIL são válidas e confiáveis na amostra estudada
On nursing services\' everyday work nursing professionals may feel somewhat impaired from delivering all the required care to patients and, in face of multiple demands and insufficient resources, may shorten care, delay it or omit it. Missed nursing care can entail negative implications to care results to patients. The objectives of this methodological study were to investigate nursing care aspects and other reasons for missed nursing care that are not included in the North-American version of the MISSCARE instrument; propose the instrument version in Brazilian Portuguese; and, test its psychometric properties. The study was developed in two stages. The first comprised the assessment of the instrument\'s face and content validity in Portuguese, which had been initially validated by a previous study developed in 2012. Data were collected in February 2015, through focus groups with nursing professionals: three nurses, one nursing technician and three nursing aides. Results led to the creation of the MISSCARE-BRASIL version, by adding four new items to Part A and 11 new items to Part B of the instrument. The second phase was the psychometric analysis of the MISSCARE-BRASIL instrument with a random sample of 330 professionals from the population of 1618 members of the nursing team working in a public teaching hospital. Data were collected from April to May 2015. Regarding the characterization of participants, most were women aged between 25 and 44 years old, with secondary education and more than 10 years of experience, working in 6-hour shifts and over 30 hours a week. In relation to their position, 39.7% were nursing aides; 33% nursing technicians; 20.9% nurses; and, 6.4% nurses performing administrative tasks. In relation to the instrument\'s properties, regarding validity of the converging construct, there were moderate correlations between the MISSCARE care neglect and the variables \"Satisfaction with the position/function\" and \"Satisfaction with teamwork\". The correlation between \"Satisfaction with the profession\" and the variables of missed nursing care were weak, where the Spearman\'s correlation coefficient ranged from 0.22 to 0.24. Confirmatory factor analysis showed good fit to the measurement model, keeping the factor structure initially proposed by the original version of the MISSCARE. The MISSCARE-BRASIL expanded model was also regularly fit to the dimensional structure proposed in the original version. Regarding reliability, the MISSCARE and the MISSCARE-BRASIL versions presented Cronbach\'s alpha values higher than 0.70, being considered acceptable to good internal consistency of items. In conclusion, the MISSCARE and the MISSCARE-BRASIL versions are valid and reliable in the sample studied

O fenômeno da omissão de cuidados de enfermagem é definido como qualquer aspecto do cuidado requerido pelo paciente que é omitido (em parte ou por completo) ou atrasado. Pode ocasionar consequências negativas para a assistência, tendo impacto na qualidade do cuidado e nos custos institucionais. Este estudo de delineamento metodológico teve como objetivos realizar a adaptação cultural do instrumento MISSCARE para uso no Brasil e testar parcialmente as suas propriedades psicométricas. O instrumento MISSCARE possui 41 itens distribuídos em duas partes. A parte A contém 24 itens referentes aos elementos dos cuidados de enfermagem omitidos com resposta variando de sempre omitido (1) a nunca omitido (5), e a parte B apresenta 17 itens relacionados às razões para a não prestação dos cuidados, com as possibilidades de resposta variando de razão significante (1) a não é uma razão para omissão do cuidado (4). A pesquisa, aprovada pelo comitê de ética, foi realizada em duas fases. A primeira consistiu no processo de adaptação cultural, que verificou a validade de face e de conteúdo, realizada por um comitê de cinco juízes conforme os passos preconizados pela literatura. A segunda visou analisar a consistência interna do instrumento com 60 profissionais da equipe de enfermagem de um hospital público de ensino universitário do interior do Estado de São Paulo. Os resultados demonstraram que a maioria dos participantes era do sexo feminino (75%), com idade média de 40,4 anos. Houve maior frequência de sujeitos com ensino médio (60%) na categoria de técnico em enfermagem (36,7%). Mudar o decúbito do paciente a cada duas horas, assistência às necessidades higiênicas dentro de cinco minutos da solicitação e participação em discussão da equipe interdisciplinar sobre a assistência ao paciente foram os três cuidados de enfermagem mais omitidos, enquanto o controle da glicemia capilar, banho/higiene e cuidados com punção venosa foram os elementos menos omitidos. O número inadequado de pessoal foi a razão mais citada pelos profissionais para essa omissão dos cuidados. Os valores do coeficiente alfa de Cronbach para as partes A e B do instrumento foram 0,964 e 0,924, respectivamente e, considerando-se os fatores da parte B, 0,906 para comunicação, 0,797 para recursos materiais e 0,785 para recursos laborais. Conclui-se que a versão adaptada do MISSCARE para o português mostrou-se confiável na amostra estudada. Novos estudos devem ser realizados para a avaliação de propriedades psicométricas adicionais antes que o instrumento seja utilizado no Brasil.
Missed care is a phenomenon defined as neglecting or delaying (partially or as a whole) any aspect of care required by the patient, which can imply negative consequences for the service, and, thus, affect the quality of care and increase institutional costs. The objectives of the present methodological study were to perform the cultural adaptation of the MISSCARE instrument for its use in Brazil, and perform a partial assessment of its psychometric properties. The MISSCARE instrument comprises 41 items distributed into two parts. Part A contains 24 items referring to the elements of the nursing care that was omitted, with answers ranging between always omitted (1) to never omitted (5), and part B comprises 17 items related to the reasons for not providing the care, with answer choices ranging from significant reason (1) to no reason for omitting care (4). The study, approved by the ethics committee, was performed in two phases. The first consisted of the cultural adaptation process, which was performed by a committee of five judges, in compliance with the steps recommended in literature, and found face and content validity. The second phase consisted of analyzing the internal consistency of the instrument with 60 nursing team workers of a public university hospital located in the interior of São Paulo state. The results showed that most participants were female (75%), with an average age of 40.4 years. Most subjects had a secondary level education (60%) and held a nursing technician degree (36.7%). Changing patient position every two hours, providing hygiene care within five minutes of their request, and participating in interdisciplinary team discussion about the patient care were the three most often omitted nursing care item, whereas capillary blood glucose management, bath/hygiene and venous puncture care were the least omitted. The main reported reason for the missed care was the shortage of personnel. The values found for Cronbach\'s alpha in parts A and B of the instrument were 0.964 and 0.924, respectively, and considering the factors of part B, 0.906 for communication, 0.797 for material resources and 0.785 for occupational resources. In conclusion, it was found that the adapted version of the MISSCARE instrument for the Brazilian Portuguese language was reliable for the studied sample. Further studies should be performed to assess the additional psychometric properties before the instrument can be used in Brazil.
