Technologies in Intensive Care Therapy and the Obstacles in Nursing Practice: Systematic Review

ABSTRACT

Aim

To identify obstacles faced by nurses when using health technologies in Intensive Care Units (ICUs).

Design

Systematic review following PRISMA and registered in PROSPERO.

Methods

Six databases were searched. Two reviewers independently screened studies and appraised methodological quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool. Data were synthesized narratively.

Results

Eight studies met eligibility criteria. Barriers clustered around limited training and technical competence, shorter professional experience, increased workload with multiple devices, organizational culture, and reduced direct patient contact, which may undermine patient-centered care. Heterogeneity of study designs precluded meta-analysis.

Conclusions

Obstacles to technology use in ICUs arise from individual and organizational factors. Addressing these barriers requires structured education, mentoring for novice nurses, workload management, and supportive policies that integrate technology without displacing bedside care.

Linking Evidence to Action

Nursing leaders and educators should implement ongoing, ICU-specific technology training and mentoring. Managers and policymakers must ensure adequate staffing and promote Health Technology Assessment to align device implementation with clinical needs, safeguarding patient safety and the human dimensions of care.

Burnout Syndrome Predictors in Nursing Professionals During and After the COVID‐19 Pandemic: A Prospective Cohort

ABSTRACT

Aim

To analyse predictors of burnout in nursing professionals during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design

Cohort study.

Method

A two-phase study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic's peak (2020) and post-vaccination period (2022). Data from nursing professionals of four hospitals in southern Brazil included sociodemographic, occupational, lifestyle, and health variables, and Maslach Burnout Inventory responses. Multivariate logistic and linear regression analyses were used to identify independent predictors of burnout syndrome. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (approval no. 4.152.027).

Results

A sample of 163 participants were assessed at two distinct time points. In 2020, 9.2% of nursing professionals experienced burnout syndrome, decreasing slightly to 7.4% in 2022. As for the burnout dimensions, emotional exhaustion was reported by 27% of professionals in 2020 and 26.4% in 2022. Depersonalisation affected 28.2% during the pandemic and 25.2% afterward. Low professional accomplishment was identified in 29.4% of professionals in 2020, increasing to 30.1% in 2022. Distinct predictors were identified for overall burnout and its specific dimensions. The main predictors included: perceiving a mental health impact from the pandemic, previous mental health issues, recent medical leave, and working directly with COVID-19 patients.

Conclusions

Burnout syndrome remained stable post-pandemic. Key predictors were identified, highlighting the need for preventive mental health interventions.

Relevance for Clinical Practice

Identifying predictors of burnout in nursing professionals supports the development of targeted interventions to protect mental health, improve job satisfaction, and enhance the quality of patient care during and after health crises.

Impacts

This study fills a gap in post-pandemic research by identifying predictors of burnout in nursing professionals. It supports the development of policies and interventions to protect mental health and improve working conditions in Brazilian hospitals.

Reporting Method

STROBE guidelines for cohort studies.

Objectives

This scoping review aims to map evidence or literature on improvement strategies used by health leaders and professionals to strengthen the safety climate in the operating room.

Design

A scoping review was performed on the basis of the method proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute and applied to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) extension.

Data sources

16 academic and grey literature data sources were searched using search terms on 17 January 2025, namely, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online via Pubmed, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences via the Virtual Health Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, WorldCat, Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, Brazilian Association of Surgical Center Nurses, Center for Material and Sterilization and Anesthetic Recovery, Association of Portuguese Operating Room Nurses, Association of PeriOperative Registered Nurses, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, WHO and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

Eligibility

Study selection, data extraction and synthesis were based on the following eligibility criteria based on the acronym PCC (participants, concept, context): participants (health leaders and professionals), concept (strategies to improve the safety climate) and context (operating room). This scoping review considered studies published from 2009 onwards.

Data extraction

Information on the objective, method and findings addressing improvement strategies employed to strengthen the safety climate in the surgical centre was retrieved. The findings are presented in tables and in a qualitative thematic summary.

Results

A total of 26 studies were analysed, published between 2009 and 2024, with the USA as the country of origin of the publications with the highest number (11 studies). As for the methodological approach, intervention and quasi-experimental studies stand out. When the studies in this review were mapped, strategies that strengthened the safety climate in the operating room were identified and grouped into two main axes that are interrelated: communication tools and training programmes.

Conclusion

It is evident that the implementation of tools that promote communication and training programmes enhances safe surgical care, as they contribute substantially to the domains of the safety culture. The use of communication protocols in the operating room is recommended as a perioperative safety tool.

Trial registration number

This scoping review adhered to a protocol previously published in this journal and that is registered on the Open Science Framework website (https://osf.io/zg8nu/).

Comfort Needs of Renal Transplant Recipients: A Qualitative Analysis Guided by Kolcaba's Theory of Comfort

ABSTRACT

Aim

To analyse the comfort needs of patients following renal transplantation, guided by Kolcaba's Theory of Comfort.

Design

A qualitative design was employed.

Methods

This study was conducted at a Brazilian university hospital's renal transplant outpatient clinic. Forty-six post-transplant patients were purposively sampled by age, transplant time and clinic attendance. Face-to-face interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and conducted using a semi-structured script. Data were analysed through thematic content analysis, guided by Kolcaba's Comfort Theory and relevant literature.

Results

Participant narratives were categorised according to the contexts outlined by Kolcaba's Theory of Comfort: Physical, Environmental, Sociocultural and Psychospiritual. In the physical context, pain was identified as a major factor diminishing comfort after renal transplantation. In the environmental context, elements such as light, odour, sound, temperature and uncomfortable furnishings contributed to discomfort. In the sociocultural context, family support was highlighted as essential. In the psychospiritual context, religiosity played a key role in enhancing the comfort of transplant recipients.

Conclusion

Spirituality, strengthened social support networks and non-pharmacological comfort measures are essential for promoting comfort among patients following renal transplantation. These findings underscore the importance of integrated care approaches that address physical, emotional and social aspects to improve quality of life for this population.

Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care

Conceptual models in nursing provide a critical perspective for care and support the delivery of effective, evidence-based interventions. By identifying the multidimensional comfort needs of post-renal transplant patients, this study informs the development of targeted, holistic strategies for nursing and multidisciplinary practice in outpatient settings.

Impact

This study examined the multidimensional comfort needs of post-renal transplant patients and found that comfort is shaped by physical, environmental, sociocultural and psychospiritual factors. The results may guide global nursing and multidisciplinary outpatient care by informing integrated approaches that enhance the quality of life of transplant recipients.

Reporting Method

This study was reported according to the COREQ framework.

Por: Lomba Goncalves · N. · Dauny · V. · Cochard · A. · Genet · B. · Bannelier · H. · Phagouape · J. · Simon-Tillaux · N. · Boutitie · L. · Boddaert · J. · Minaud · A. · Zerah · L.
Objectives

Drug-related hospital admissions (DRAs) are prevalent among older adults, with a substantial proportion deemed preventable. Despite their frequency, little is known about the prognosis of DRAs in this population, particularly concerning mortality and hospital readmissions. The objectives were to assess the prognosis of DRAs in older patients, focusing on 6-month mortality and unplanned readmissions.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

A 20-bed acute-care geriatric unit within an academic hospital.

Participants

All patients aged 75 years or older hospitalised in the unit during 2023.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

The primary outcome was 6-month all-cause mortality. The secondary outcome was the rate of unplanned hospital readmissions, including emergency department visits, within 6 months. DRAs were identified using a two-step standardised review process. Kaplan–Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality. Fine and Grey competing risk models were applied for the analysis of unplanned readmissions. Multivariable models adjusted for age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, medication count, activities of daily living score, long-term care residency and prior hospitalisations.

Results

Among 483 patients included (median age 86 years [IQR 81–91]), 207 (43%) were admitted for a DRA. At 6 months, mortality was significantly lower in patients with DRAs compared with those without (19% [n=39] vs 37% [n=102]; p

Conclusions

DRAs have a distinct prognosis as compared with other causes of admission among older patients. Identifying and managing DRAs are crucial for minimising preventable complications in this vulnerable population.

Por: Alves · E. · Rodrigues · R. · Fonseca · C. · Lopes · M. · Faria · I. · Dalkner · N. · Barach · P. · Folkvord · F. · Carlson · J. I. · Reininghaus · E. · Wessa · M. · Prinzellner · Y. · Leung · V. · Turk · E. · de Pinho · L. G. · on behalf of the XR2ESILIENCE team members
Introduction

Healthcare workers (HCWs) report overwhelming demands and experience crisis levels of burnout and unique challenges that further impair their mental health. Promotion of mental health among HCWs using information and communication technology (ICT) has received little empirical research attention and interventions for improving mental health resilience in HCWs are not well established.

Design

Scoping review to map existing evidence and identify gaps for future research regarding the main barriers and facilitators of the acceptance of ICT-based interventions for improving resilience and mental health among HCWs working in all healthcare settings.

Methods and analysis

This protocol was developed in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. A comprehensive bibliographic search will be conducted between October 2024 and October 2025 in Pubmed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Scopus, Cochrane Library and CINAHL Ultimate (MedicLatina, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection), with the assistance of a qualified research librarian, to retrieve studies describing data on the main barriers and facilitators to the acceptance of ICT-based interventions for improving resilience and mental health among HCWs working in healthcare settings. There will be no restrictions based on date of publication or language. Inclusion and exclusion criteria will be defined for each element of the PICO(D) framework, and both quantitative and qualitative data will be extracted. Quality will be assessed using the mixed methods assessment tool. Two independent investigators will perform the eligibility assessment and data extraction, and any disagreements will be resolved by a third reviewer. The main results will be narratively synthesised and analysed.

Ethics and dissemination

Since secondary data will be analysed, no ethical approval is required. The results will be disseminated through publications subject to peer review.

Antipsychotics for Parkinsons disease: a protocol for a systematic review with network meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis

Por: Petersen · J. J. · Kamp · C. B. · Juul · S. · Bjerg · J. L. · Sillassen · C. D. B. · Faltermeier · P. · Salvesen · L. · Hejl · A.-M. · Bech · S. · Lokkegaard · A. · Jakobsen · J. C.
Introduction

Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disease with a rising incidence and prevalence. Patients with Parkinson’s disease may receive antipsychotics, for example, due to Parkinson’s disease psychosis. Parkinson’s disease psychosis is characterised by visual hallucinations and other psychotic symptoms. To date, no systematic review has evaluated the effects of antipsychotics in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Therefore, this review aims to assess the beneficial and harmful effects of antipsychotics for Parkinson’s disease.

Methods and analysis

This is a protocol for a systematic review. A search specialist will perform a search in major medical databases (eg, MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), EMBASE (Excerpta Medica database), CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials)) and clinical trial registries. Published and unpublished randomised clinical trials comparing antipsychotics to any control (placebo, standard care or other antipsychotics) in patients with Parkinson’s disease will be included. Two review authors will independently extract data and conduct risk of bias assessments with the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool—V.2. Primary outcomes will be all-cause mortality, serious adverse events and significant falls. Secondary outcomes will be hospitalisations, non-serious adverse events, Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale total score and psychotic symptoms using any valid symptom scale. Data will be synthesised by aggregate meta-analysis, trial sequential analysis and network meta-analysis. Several subgroup analyses are planned. An eight-step procedure will be used to assess if the thresholds for clinical significance are crossed, and the certainty of the evidence will be assessed by GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluations) and CiNeMA (Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis) approach.

Ethics and dissemination

This protocol does not include results, and ethics approval is not required for the project. The findings from the systematic review will be published in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Social Representations of Bedside Milk Expression Among Mothers of Preterm Newborns in Neonatal Intensive Care Units

ABSTRACT

Aim

To understand the social representations of bedside milk expression (BME) among mothers of preterm newborns in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).

Design

Qualitative descriptive study.

Methods

The study was conducted from July to August 2024 in two NICUs of a referral maternity hospital in Fortaleza, Brazil. Nineteen mothers of hospitalised premature newborns participated. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and subjected to thematic content analysis.

Results

Mothers perceived BME as a meaningful act of protection and bonding, though some were unfamiliar with the practice. Emotional ambivalence was common, shaped by prior breastfeeding experiences and the context of prematurity. Discomfort related to privacy and shared spaces was noted. Support from healthcare professionals was essential to promote understanding and adherence.

Conclusion

Social representations of BME are shaped by emotional, social and institutional experiences. Anchored in prior breastfeeding experiences and cultural meanings of maternal care, the practice is objectified through both gestures of affection and tangible barriers.

Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care

Healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, should receive training to support mothers in BME. Structural improvements, privacy and emotional support are essential for fostering maternal autonomy and confidence.

Impact

This study highlights the barriers to BME, emphasising the role of healthcare support and the need for better infrastructure, privacy and training to enhance maternal confidence and breastfeeding.

Reporting Method

The study followed the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist.

Patient or Public Contribution

None.

What Does This Paper Contribute to the Wider Global Clinical Community?

This paper highlights the pivotal role of healthcare professional support in overcoming barriers to BME and promoting breastfeeding practices.

What Already Is Known?

Fresh breast milk is considered the gold standard for reducing complications and improving survival in preterm infants. BME is recommended as an effective strategy to ensure the availability of fresh breast milk. Mothers' social representations of this practice remain underexplored within the neonatal intensive care context.

What This Paper Adds?

Explores mothers' social representations of BME in NICUs, addressing a significant gap in qualitative research. Reveals how emotional, social and institutional factors shape mothers' perceptions, motivations and challenges related to BME. Highlights the need for targeted professional support, improved infrastructure and privacy to enhance maternal autonomy and adherence to milk expression practices.

Implications for Practice

Healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, should receive specialised training to provide technical guidance and emotional support, enhancing mothers' confidence and autonomy in BME. Improving infrastructure and ensuring privacy in NICUs are crucial to creating supportive environments that facilitate milk expression and strengthen maternal–infant bonding. Institutional policies should integrate maternal-centred strategies to support breastfeeding continuity and promote humanised neonatal care.

Effectiveness of aromatherapy in pain relief postcardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol

Introduction

Acute pain in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery is mostly treated with opioid analgesics. However, with the risk of adverse reactions and complications, strategies which do not involve opioid analgesics can be considered, such as aromatherapy. This systematic review aims to analyse the effectiveness of aromatherapy in relieving pain in post-cardiac surgery patients.

Methods and analysis

Two researchers will independently and simultaneously conduct searches and select studies from the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane (Library) and clinical trial registries (clinicaltrials.com), with no language or publication date restrictions. Randomised and quasi-randomised clinical trials on the use of aromatherapy for pain relief in postcardiac surgery patients will be included. Then, two researchers will independently examine the studies based on inclusion criteria, extract data from the included studies and assess the risk of bias using the Risk of Bias 2 tool and the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions tool from Cochrane. Data will be synthesised using Review Manager software. The strength of the evidence will be evaluated using the Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. The literature search, study selection, review and meta-analysis stages will be conducted from early October 2025 to April 2026.

Ethics and dissemination

This study is based on secondary data, and therefore ethical approval from a research ethics committee was not required. The results will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

Home-based self-administered transcranial direct current stimulation for women affected by primary dysmenorrhoea in Northeastern Brazil: a protocol study

Por: Silva · T. C. d. L. A. d. · Rodrigues · Y. T. · Silva-Filho · E. · Alves de Oliveira · P. C. · Araujo · T. A. B. D. · Bernatavicius · E. · Cook · A. A. · Radyte · E. · Pegado · R. · Micussi · M. T.
Background

The prevalence of women with primary dysmenorrhoea is high and negatively impacts physical and mental health. The intense cyclic episodes of pain generate central nervous system dysfunctional processing. In this sense, strategies focused on the central nervous system are important to re-establish normal functioning. Home-based self-administered transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) emerges as a strategy to modulate dysfunctional brain areas and improve the symptoms. This protocol aims to evaluate the effects of home-based self-administered tDCS for pain, premenstrual symptoms, physical performance, quality of life, electroencephalography and patient global impression in women affected by primary dysmenorrhoea.

Methods and analysis

This is a single-centre, parallel, randomised, double-blinded clinical trial protocol. 40 women affected by primary dysmenorrhoea will be randomised into two groups (active-tDCS or sham-tDCS). Then, 20 consecutive sessions of home-based self-administered tDCS will be performed. The assessments will occur at five time points: baseline, after the 20th sessions, at the first, second and third cycles after tDCS interventions (follow-ups). Primary outcome will be pain according to visual analogue scale. Quality of life, premenstrual symptoms screening, depression, anxiety, physical performance, electroencephalography and participants’ satisfaction will be the secondary outcomes. A mixed analysis of variance will calculate the effect of stimulation.

Ethics and dissemination

The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (No. 6.037.756) and registered in the Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (n° RBR-747k8vb). Participants may withdraw at any time without penalty. Free support will be available from the lead researcher if needed. All procedures will follow Good Clinical Practice and international ethical standards.

Telenursing practice in the care of patients with surgical cancer: a scoping review

Por: Mozer · C. A. d. N. · Goncalves · J. d. C. · Rozetti · C. M. T. · Carvalho · R. d. · Fiorin · B. H. · Furieri · L. B. · Fioresi · M.
Objectives

Surgical oncology patients often experience doubts and uncertainties in the preoperative and postoperative periods, which can be addressed remotely through telenursing. Expanding telenursing services could contribute to more comprehensive perioperative care. We conducted a scoping review to characterise these telenursing services, identify their outcome indicators and examine the content of the care delivered.

Design

A scoping review was conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) recommendations.

Data sources

MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science and Virtual Health Library (VHL), with searches performed up to 5 May 2025.

Eligibility criteria for selecting studies

We included studies that implemented telenursing interventions in the preoperative or postoperative period in adult oncology patients.

Data extraction and synthesis

Two independent reviewers used a standardised search to select and extract data from the included studies. Study characteristics were presented descriptively using absolute and relative frequencies, and the content of telenursing interventions was organised into a circular thematic matrix.

Results

A total of 37 studies were included, published between 1996 and 2024, conducted in 12 countries and primarily focused on postoperative telenursing via telephone or video calls. Preoperative care focused on psychosocial support and guidance related to surgical preparation. Postoperative topics included surgical wound care; handling of devices such as drains, ostomy bags and catheters; instructions for returning to work and support groups for financial and social assistance. Outcome indicators were primarily related to care, including levels of anxiety, stress, depression and quality of life.

Conclusions

Oncologic surgical telenursing remains primarily focused on postoperative care and the delivery of personalised support. Reporting on the protocols used, frequency and duration of sessions, nurse training and profiles, integration with in-person care workflows and operational cost data could strengthen the knowledge base for perioperative telenursing in oncology.

Asthma self-knowledge patient-reported outcome measures for the paediatric population with asthma: a systematic review protocol

Por: Goncalves · A. S. · Simoes · P. A. · Gama · J. M. R. · Jacome · C. · Maricoto · T.
Introduction

Asthma is a major personal and public health problem worldwide, with a significant impact on patients’ quality of life and health systems. The prevalence of asthma in children is 9.1% and in adolescents is 11%. Greater literacy among children is related to better asthma control. There are many validated Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) related to asthma, but there are only a few, and no gold standard, to measure children and adolescents’ knowledge of asthma. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the most suitable asthma self-knowledge PROMs for the paediatric population with asthma.

Methods and analysis

The inclusion criteria will be children and adolescents diagnosed with asthma (population), validated PROMs about asthma self-knowledge (intervention), between each PROM (comparison) and measurement properties (outcome) (validity, reliability, interpretability and responsiveness). The search process will be conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE and SCOPUS. The risk of bias evaluation will be done independently by two authors with the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments risk of bias checklist, and the quality of evidence will be evaluated based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach.

Ethics and dissemination

Ethics approval is not applicable for this study since the data that will be collected are secondary data and are already in the public domain. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication and conference presentations.

Trajetórias precursoras da Enfermagem de Reabilitação na Guerra Colonial Portuguesa

Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la creación de la ONU influyó en los movimientos de independencia colonial. Portugal resistió, teniendo que enfrentarse a la Guerra Colonial, que influyó en el desarrollo de la enfermería de rehabilitación. Objetivo: Analizar las prácticas precursoras de la enfermería de rehabilitación en la Guerra Colonial Portuguesa. Metodología: Utilización del método histórico para resumir el relato histórico. Resultados: La evolución de la asistencia sanitaria determinó la necesidad de una mejor "preparación técnica" mediante la creación de "Escuelas Técnicas de Enfermería". El "curso de enfermería y acción social colonial" abarcaba la "educación física" y los "agentes físicos". En 1961, las filas de las tropas paracaidistas pasaron a incluir enfermeras. Las enfermeras también desempeñaron un papel en las "inspecciones sanitarias" y en la colaboración con las Fuerzas Armadas en los comandos navales de las colonias, en el Servicio de Aduanas de Ultramar y en los navíos de guerra de la Guarda Fiscal. En 1963, el personal de enfermería del Hospital de Ultramar incluía enfermeras "fisioterapeutas" y "especializadas en ortopedia, rehabilitación...". En aquella época, en 1964, la situación sanitaria condujo a la regulación de los Servicios Sanitarios y Asistenciales de Ultramar, reconociendo la importancia de la enfermería especializada en los territorios de ultramar.

Conclusión: La enfermería de rehabilitación surgió en Portugal en 1965, influenciada por un contexto social y político previo que creó nuevas necesidades de salud.
