Aspects related to effective communication between nurses and patients' families
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Buendia Rojas, Claudio Dionisio; Chávez Pajuelo, Miriam Francisca; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objectives: Determine the aspects related to effective communication between the nurse and the patients' families in the area. Methodology/Methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review, the search has been restricted to articles with full text, and the selected articles were subjected to a critical reading, using Jover's evaluation to identify their level of evidence. Results: In the final selection, 10 articles were chosen, we found that 40% (04) correspond to Spain, with 40% (04) we find Colombia, while with 10% (01) we find Peru and Mexico respectively. The majority of Cross-Sectional studies have been studied, with 90%, mainly in the countries of Spain, Colombia, Peru and Mexico. And with 10% we have quasi-experimental studies belonging to Spain. Where the aspects related to effective communication of the nurse with the family members considered in the majority of the articles analyzed were: Verbal aspects (Strategies to facilitate understanding), Non-verbal aspects (social skills), heterogeneous positions on the presence of the family , the identification of the nurse and finally the instrumental aspects. Conclusions: It was evident in the reviewed research that to carry out effective communication it is necessary to consider the aspects of communication.

Corrosion of surgical instruments due to the use of common water vs distilled water
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Castillo Sánchez, Rosa María; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: Determine if the corrosion of surgical instruments is produced by the use of common water vs. distilled water. Materials and Methods: Systematic Reviews are an observational and retrospective research design, which synthesizes the results of multiple primary investigations. They are an essential part of evidence-based nursing due to their rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions of clinical practice. Results: In the final selection, 13 articles were chosen, we found that 31% (4) correspond to Spain, 14% (2) correspond to Colombia and Chile, with 7% (1) Cuba, Mexico, Peru were found. , Venezuela and Brazil respectively. 69% were experimental studies from the countries of Spain, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Chile. With 31% we have cross-sectional studies belonging to Brazil, Chile, Spain, and Cuba. Of the total number of articles analyzed, 80% concluded that plain water causes corrosion in surgical instruments. It was evident in the reviewed research that stainless steel instruments should not be subjected to cleaning, disinfection and sterilization processes, whose dilution component is common water, nor should they be immersed in a physiological salt solution. Prolonged contact and immersion in the solution causes corrosion pitting and forms stress corrosion cracking. Conclusion: It is recommended to use distilled water to avoid corrosion of surgical instruments, especially for final rinsing, after cleaning and disinfection.

Determination of the safe disinfectant Orthophthaldehyde versus Glutaraldehyde used by nurses in the High Level Disinfection Process
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Idrogo Maita, Zaida Karina; Ruiz Campos, Deysi; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objectives: Determine the safe disinfectant Orthophthaldehyde vs glutaraldehyde to be used by nurses in the high-level disinfection process. Materials and Methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review, the search has been restricted to 8 articles with full text, and the selected articles were subjected to critical reading. Published and indexed in scientific databases, dating back to the year 2000 and responding to articles published in Spanish, English and Portuguese. In the final selection, 4 articles were chosen, we found that 25% (01) corresponds to England, with 25% (01) to Spain, with 25% (01) to Brazil and while another 25% (01) we find Japan; Two systematic reviews and two cross-sectional studies were included. Results: 80% of the articles reviewed show that glutaraldehyde, compared to orthophthaldehyde, is the one that produces the most cytotoxicity at work, but that orthophthalaldehyde is still toxic. Orthophthaldehyde vs glutaraldehyde, in both cases its greatest adverse reaction when used is in the respiratory tract Conclusion: of the liquid chemical substances used as high-level disinfectants Orthophthaldehyde vs Glutaraldehyde It was evident that Glutaraldehyde is a volatile product that emanates cytotoxic substances causing effects adverse effects on the person who handles it, while Orthophthaldehyde, being exposed through inhalation, turns out to be a sensitizing this. The direct handling of high-level disinfectant substances focuses exposure on the inhalation route, requiring the use of personal protective equipment.

Efficacy of hydrocolloid dressings in the treatment of pressure ulcers in intensive care unit patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Barrera Elguera, Soledad Pilar; Pujay Aponte, Yanet Alicia; Avila Vargas Machuca, Jeannette Giselle
Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the use of hydrocolloid dressings in the treatment of pressure ulcers in patients in the intensive care unit. Methodology: Systematic Review, 10 articles were chosen, which were studied, of which 70% are systematic reviews and meta-analysis, mainly in the countries of the United States and China, and 30% are cross-sectional analytical studies that were developed in the countries from Brazil, Spain and Peru Results: Of the articles studied, 70% show that products for the treatment of UPPs based on cure in a humid environment such as hydrocolloids have greater clinical efficacy than traditional treatment in the intensive care unit.Conclusion: The results of the review we have carried out show the existence of evidence in favor of the greater clinical effectiveness of dressings based on healing in a humid environment in the healing of pressure ulcers, lower overall cost and They are changed every three to five days, although they can remain in situ for up to seven days. And they are less effective than polyurethane foam (hydropolymer) dressings since they have a greater capacity for absorbing exudate and are easier to apply. removal than hydrocolloid dressings.

Risk factors associated with high blood pressure in adult patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Apolinario Páez, Patricia Nohemi; Cano Churampi, Jessica Sonia; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: Determine the risk factors associated with high blood pressure in adult patients. Materials and methods: Systematic investigations are an observational and retrospective research design that synthesizes the results of multiple primary investigations, which are an essential part of evidence-based nursing due to its rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions of the clinical practice. Results: The scientific articles included in the systematic review on the risk factors associated with hypertension in adults were found in the following databases Lipecs, Lilacs Scielo and Medline, all of them correspond to the type and design of cross-sectional studies. The studies reviewed show that the risk factors associated with high blood pressure are obesity, hypercholesterolemia, age, overweight, low HDL concentrations and an inadequate lifestyle. Conclusions: The risk factors associated with high blood pressure are obesity, hypercholesterolemia, age, overweight, low HDL concentrations and inadequate lifestyle. Interventions to control high blood pressure are to achieve the maximum reduction in the total long-term risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This process should be based on primary prevention and early detection of all identified reversible risk factors and management. adequate of the associated clinical conditions such as the increase in blood pressure itself.
