RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito do óleo essencial na redução de odor em bolsas de estomia intestinal. Método: Estudo primário, ensaio clínico quase experimental, prospectivo, com abordagem quantitativa. Preparado com folhas de Melaleuca armillaris, foi testado em bolsas coletoras, sem e com efluentes, quanto à aderência e odor. Instrumento: escala de magnitude rotulada. Resultados: Participantes colostomizados, com média de 73 anos ± 14,94, predomínio do sexo masculino; e cuidadores informais, com média de 44 anos ± 8,98, predomínio do sexo feminino. Na avaliação visual do óleo, 100% dos participantes perceberam a aderência. Em relação à avaliação do odor dos efluentes pelos colostomizados, cinco relataram “odor forte” antes do uso do óleo e, após o uso, seis relataram odor “fraco” (p = 0,005). Cinco cuidadores informais detectaram odor “muito forte” dos efluentes antes do uso do óleo e, após o uso, um “fraco” e nove “moderado” (p = 0,0025). Conclusão: Houve redução do odor dos efluentes nas bolsas coletoras com o óleo essencial de Melaleuca armillaris a 10%. Pedido registro de patente no INPI sob nº. BR 10 2020 026987 9.

OBJECTIVE: To assess work ability and productivity in patients with diabetic foot. METHODS: This investigation was a cross-sectional controlled study. A total of 117 individuals were selected from March to June 2014 and allocated to group A (patients without diabetes, n=43), group B (diabetes patients without foot ulcers, n=43), or group C (patients with diabetic foot, n=31). Two validated instruments, the Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ) and the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire General Health v2.0 (WPAI-GH), were used to assess work ability and productivity. RESULTS: The groups were homogeneous regarding age and sex; however, patients in group C had a lower education level than the other participants (p=0.006). The median WLQ scores for groups A, B, and C were 0.0121, 0.0146, and 0.0852, respectively (p<0.0001). The WPAI-GH scores revealed a mean productivity loss of 20% for groups A and B and 100% for group C (p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with diabetic foot showed decreased work ability and productivity.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar Qualidade de Vida e autoestima de pacientes com úlcera crônica. MÉTODOS: Estudo analítico e transversal. Avaliaram-se, por seis meses, 150 pacientes, sendo 75 portadores de úlcera crônica. Foram incluídos pacientes dos dois gêneros, com mais de 18 anos, internados e atendidos em ambulatório, e com cognição preservada. RESULTADOS: Dentre os pacientes com úlcera, predominou o gênero masculino (p<0,002). Nos dois grupos, a mediana de idade foi 62 anos e a hipertensão arterial foi a doença mais prevalente (32%). Observou-se pior escore da Capacidade Funcional no grupo sem úlcera (p=0,003); o grupo com úlcera registrou pior escore para o domínio Vitalidade (p=0,042). CONCLUSÃO: Pacientes com úlceras crônicas apresentaram pior Qualidade de Vida com relação à atividade, com pouca energia e disposição para realizar as Atividades da Vida Diária. As úlceras, porém, não influenciaram na autoestima desses pacientes.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of pressure ulcers (PUs) in elderly people living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). DESIGN We completed a prospective, comparison cohort study. SUBJECTS AND SETTING Ninety-four persons, 60 years or older, participated in the study. Participants resided in 4 not-for-profit LTCFs in 3 cities in the southern region of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. METHODS Participants underwent complete skin examination and Braden Scale rating every 2 days for 3 months. When a PU was detected, a careful examination was done to assess its stage, location, and size. From this moment on, the patient was included in the incidence rate and was excluded from the study. RESULTS The incidence rate of PUs was 39.4%; 37 (77.1%) developed a single ulcer. The most common locations were the malleolus (27.1%) and the ischium (25.0%). Stage I PU were most frequent (66.7%). Females (62.8%) and whites (68.19%) prevailed, with an average age of 79.06 ± 9.6 years. Body mass index was 20.93 ± 4.9, with a predominance of urinary diseases (58.5%) and use of neuroleptics/psychotropics (52.1%); 28.7% had had a previous ulcer. Gender and the occurrence of a previous ulcer were found to predict the development of PU, based on logistic regression analysis (r2 = 0.311). CONCLUSIONS The overall incidence of PU was significant, but the incidence of stage II and higher PUs was less than 12% and no elders had stage III or IV ulcers. Factors associated with PU development include female gender, regular use of neuroleptic or psychotropic medications, and a history of pressure ulceration.

This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for the development of Pressure Ulcers (PU) in old people living in Long Staying Institutions. It is a prospective and cohort study carried out in four Institutions. A total of 94 old people composed the sample and were assessed during three consecutive months. The total scores of the Braden Scale were different between the groups with and without PU, at the first (p=0.030) and last assessments (p= 0,001); humidity, nutrition and friction/shearing were significantly different between those with and without PU, and were always worst among the first. Female gender and previous PU were confirmed as predictive for the development of PU (r²=0,311).
