Introducción: En Chile, la Enfermería de Práctica Avanzada (EPA) es un rol emergente. El propósito del estudio es comparar la satisfacción de los pacientes atendidos por una EPA en conjunto con un traumatólogo subespecialista de cadera, con pacientes atendidos en la consulta estándar del traumatólogo de cadera. Material y método: Estudio piloto cuasi-experimental. Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años que consultaron en un centro ambulatorio docente-asistencial entre los años 2020-2023. Se evaluaron dos grupos, en el grupo experimental la modalidad de atención fue mixta (EPA y un traumatólogo subespecialista de cadera) y en el control los pacientes recibieron atención estándar de un traumatólogo subespecialista de cadera. Se evaluó satisfacción mediante una encuesta de diez preguntas (escala numérica continua de 0 a 100). El instrumento midió la calidad de la atención, diagnóstico y tratamiento, si el paciente volvería a ser tratado bajo esta modalidad de atención y si lo recomendaría a otras personas. Se utilizó las prueba de chi-cuadrado y Mann-Whitney. Resultados: Se evaluaron 108 pacientes. El 49% de los pacientes fueron asignados al grupo de intervención (n=53). La mediana del puntaje de satisfacción total fue de 96,5 puntos (rango 79-100), sin diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos (p 0,26). No se observaron diferencias significativas en las puntuaciones de satisfacción en ninguna de las diez preguntas. Conclusión: No hubo diferencias en los puntajes de satisfacción entre ambas modalidades de atención. Esta es la primera experiencia reportada en Chile sobre la atención otorgada por una enfermera de práctica avanzada, en ortopedia.

Objetivo. Conocer la calidad de vida y la satisfacción con los cuidados que expresan los pacientes de 65 o más años, con diagnóstico reciente de cáncer, que reciben quimioterapia de forma ambulatoria en Hospital de Día de Adultos del Hospital Universitario Son Espases. Comparando la atención habitual de cuidados estándar, con la incorporación de una enfermera experta, denominada Enfermera de Práctica Avanzada. Metodología. El diseño del estudio es cuasiexperimental pre-post. Tiene 2 grupos aleatorios que realizarán 2 cuestionarios específicos para pacientes con cáncer validados para hospitales españoles: cuestionario de calidad de vida de pacientes con cáncer (Quality of life questionnaire), QLQ-C30 (versión 3) y cuestionario de valoración de la satisfacción con la atención expresada por pacientes ambulatorios con cáncer que reciben quimioterapia (Cancer Out-Patient Satisfaction with Care Questionnaire), OUT-PATSAT35 CT. Los cuestionarios se pasarán a ambos grupos antes del inicio de los tratamientos, y pasados 3-4 meses del inicio. Relevancia. Este proyecto pretende poner en valor la aportación de la figura de Enfermera de Práctica Avanzada en la mejora de la Satisfacción de los Cuidados recibidos por el paciente de edad avanzada con cáncer en el servicio de Hospital de Día de Adultos, así como la mejora en la Calidad de Vida de los mismos, para poder extrapolar la utilidad de esta figura en la coordinación de los cuidados de otros pacientes dentro de la propia unidad y de otras unidades hospitalarias. ABSTRACT Objective. To assess the quality of life and satisfaction with care reported by patients aged 65 or older with a recent cancer diagnosis receiving ambulatory chemotherapy at the Adult Day Hospital of the Son Espases University Hospital. This study compares standard. care with the incorporation of an expert nurse, referred to as an Advanced Practice Nurse.Methodology. The study design is a quasi-experimental pre-post approach. It consists of two randomly groups that will complete two specific questionnaires for cancer patients validated for Spanish hospitals: the Quality of Life Questionnaire for Cancer Patients (QLQ-C30, version 3) and the Cancer Out-Patient Satisfaction with Care Questionnaire (OUT-PATSAT35 CT). Both groups will complete questionnaires before the start of treatments and after 3-4 months after initiation. Relevance. This project aims to highlight the contribution of the Advanced Practice Nurse in improving the satisfaction with care received by elderly cancer patients in the Adult Day Hospital service, as well as enhancing their quality of life. This may help extrapolate the utility of this role in coordinating care of other patients within the unit and in other hospital units.

El interés por la Enfermería de Práctica Avanzada (EPA) sigue creciendo al mismo ritmo que la confusión en torno al concepto. El Consejo Internacional de Enfermería (CIE) reconoció esta situación y lanzó en 2020 las “Directrices de Enfermería de Práctica Avanzada” (1). Lejos de clarificarla, un análisis rápido de los constructos que se exponen muestra la incompatibilidad entre sí de algunos de ellos, existiendo algunos fallos de lógica. Por ejemplo, no se explica, pero se incluye, el término “avanzado” en las definiciones, lo que las convierte en definiciones circulares. Las Directrices del CIE, de forma fortuita, son un reflejo de diferentes formas de entender qué es la EPA en el mundo.

Objective: To reflect on the contributions of nursing to the elimination of viral hepatitis in the Unified Health System. Methods: This was a reflexive study with a qualitative approach based on the practice of nursing in health systems, organized into three categories.

Objective: To map the contributions and strategies to implement advanced practice nursing in primary health care. Materials and methods: This scoping review was carried out following the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute in six databases, namely: LILACS, MEDLINE, WoS, Embase, CINAHL, and Scopus, in addition to a bibliographic repository. A total of 3,076 studies were found, from which 12 were selected. Results: The contributions mentioned by the studies regarding advanced practice nursing were divided into three subcategories, as follows: care, educational or management, and preventive practices. They concern autonomy, specialized clinical skills, therapeutic counseling, and patient-centered interaction. Some strategies to implement advanced practice are related to continuing education, practice management, self-care, and disease management. Conclusions: There is a need to improve strategies for advanced practice nursing, especially in primary care, to address gaps in specialized care, the development of indicators, and therapeutic objectives.

El avance en el desarrollo profesional de la enfermería española, el aumento de su nivel formativo, las disputas por delimitar los espacios competenciales de los distintos profesionales de la salud y los procesos organizacionales encaminados a la disminución de los costes sanitarios constituyen el contexto en el que se ha popularizado en España el término enfermería de práctica avanzada. Un término empleado para dar cuenta de tareas y desarrollos profesionales heterogéneos que coinciden en precisar de una formación y una experiencia más amplias que las de las enfermeras generalistas y que la profesión enfermera está utilizando como herramienta simbólica desde la que proyectar sus aspiraciones y desarrollar sus estrategias de ampliación de sus fronteras competenciales.

In diagnostic imaging departments, there has been a technological evolution in recent years. Progress made in interventional processes and the development of new treatments, as well as an increase in the number of diagnostic and therapeutic tests, has generated a growing and exponential need for specific care. Furthermore, the people who come to these departments are often in a vulnerable state and out of their comfort zone. The implementation of advanced practice nursing (APN) in the context of metabolic therapies and diagnostic imaging provides expert care with a holistic approach to patient care. It uses the nursing care process as a working method which, through research, logical analysis and critical reasoning, enables nursing care to be developed and applied. This approach contributes to safety management in the different processes in which it is engaged. The aim of this article is to highlight the interventions in which nursing practice can contribute to contrast media safety management in a diagnostic imaging department., Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare., (Copyright © 2024.

Objective: To describe nurses' experience in implementing the copper Intrauterine Device (IUD) insertion service in Primary Health Care (PHC) in Florianópolis, SC. Methods: Experience report presenting the following steps: (a) Theoretical-Practical Material elaboration; (b) Nurse facilitators training; and (c) process monitoring and evaluation. Results: In total, 115 nurses were trained, including permanent professionals and residents. Regarding the expansion of access to the contraceptive method, a quantity of 2,024 IUD insertions by nurses was recorded since the implementation of the practice, in just over 3 years (390 insertions in 2018; 728 in 2019; 547 in 2020 and 359 insertions until May of 2021). These data reflect a 60% increase in access to the method to women. Conclusion: The nurse, by offering the insertion of the IUD in the PHC responsibly and based on scientificity, has contributed to reducing bureaucracy in access to the method. In this sense, the training process positively influences the qualification of care, and the reported practice has demonstrated efficacy and safety, in addition to surpassing models, which until then were hegemonic and centered on the doctor.

National, the exploratory, qualitative, and quantitative study aimed to know the opinion of coordinators of undergraduate courses regarding the introduction of advanced nursing practices within the scope of Primary Health Care (PHC) in Brazil. Data were collected through face-to-face (n = 16) and telephone (n = 94) interviews, between 2015 and 2016, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and qualitatively regarding their content. Most agree that PHC nurses could perform actions attributed to doctors, increasing the resolution of this level of care. However, the actions cited by them as likely to be incorporated are already part of the role of nursing, suggesting that the practice of nurses in PHC is limited. Opinions contrary to advanced practices are based on the perception that nurses have strayed from their real duties, or that they perform many tasks, without the prospect of social and salary recognition.

The current demand on health services requires that nurses play a key role, by adapting their competencies to different fields and complexity levels. The approach of situations presented by critically ill patients underpins the need for development of specialised competencies in specific areas such as patient safety, prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections, performance of specific techniques and interventions, autonomous medication management or the use of technology, among others. Spain relies on a specialist training programme that is unique worldwide. Training admission is managed through a contract as a "Resident Nurse Intern" (EIR, Enfermera Interna Residente), provided by regional healthcare services. Only 6 specialities have been established and developed, in an uneven manner and with a short provision of places, annually. Given that the specialization in critical care nursing does not exist, nurses usually self-fund their postgraduate training to enhance their opportunities career development. The development of a speciality for critical care nursing is a priority. The models proposed advocate for creating nursing roles that could cover the systemic gaps through the expansion of their competencies and the introduction of procedures that fit nursing into advanced practice, which could be achieved through Advanced Accreditation Diplomas. Simultaneously, it would be convenient to analyse how and why such a dynamic discipline in some countries became stuck in anachronistic models of the Spanish healthcare system. This analysis might contribute to move forward on the development of areas of improvement in terms of service access and quality of care., (Copyright © 2024 Sociedad Española de Enfermería Intensiva y Unidades Coronarias (SEEIUC).

Lecciones que deja la pandemia por Covid-19 Lições que a pandemia da COVID-19 deixa La falta de visión y de recursos de los sistemas de salud de las naciones de América Latina y El Caribe no ha permitido enfrentar de manera adecuada la pandemia por el nuevo coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, salvo honrosas excepciones. El énfasis en los sistemas curativos, tanto en infraestructura como en recursos humanos y financieros, en desmedro de la atención primaria de salud es uno de los principales ejemplos de esta falta de visión histórica, que disminuye la posibilidad de poder controlar una pandemia, efectivamente desconocida, pero de la cual ya se tenían los antecedentes necesarios para enfrentarla desde la prevención y la promoción de la salud en las poblaciones vulnerables de cada país. Se sumó a lo anterior la ausencia —en un número adecuado y de talento en la gobernanza— de enfermeros, por lo cual el escenario fue propicio para la diseminación de la pandemia y la consecuente afectación de los sistemas sanitarios, sociales, económicos y políticos de los países de América Latina.
