Get PDFTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Enfermagem, Florianópolis, 2015.Trata-se de um estudo descritivo correlacional, de abordagem quantitativa que teve como objetivo analisar a relação do dimensionamento de profissionais da enfermagem em uma unidade de internação cirúrgica com a ocorrência de eventos adversos. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período entre 23 de março e 14 de abril, em dias alternados, até atingir o número de 94 pacientes. Nos dias de coleta de dados todos os pacientes internados foram avaliados e entrevistados a fim de se identificar a ocorrência dos eventos adversos e classificar o paciente segundo o grau de dependência da enfermagem, totalizando ao término da coleta de dados 252 avaliações. Na identificação da ocorrência de infecção do sítio cirúrgico foi utilizado o roteiro de avaliação da ocorrência de infecção do sítio cirúrgico. Na identificação de perda ou infecção do acesso venoso foi utilizado o roteiro de avaliação da perda ou infecção do acesso venoso. Para a análise das variáveis categóricas foi utilizada a distribuição de frequência e os testes qui-quadrado e para as variáveis quantitativas foram utilizadas a média, o desvio-padrão e a análise de variância com um fator fixo. Para as análises inferenciais, o nível de significância adotado foi de 5%, com apoio do software estatístico Statistical Package for Social Science. Na ocorrência dos eventos adversos foi realizada a análise do dimensionamento do quadro de profissionais da enfermagem a partir do aplicativo do Conselho Federal de Enfermagem E-dimensionamento. O projeto foi submetido ao Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa com Seres Humanos da Instituição de Ensino de origem. A média de ocupação de leitos foi de 25,4 leitos por dia. A média diária de pacientes internados classificados com cuidados mínimos foi de 21,6; com cuidados intermediários foi de 2,7 e com cuidados semi-intensivos foi de 1,1. A unidade conta com um quadro de pessoal composto por oito enfermeiros e 22 profissionais de nível médio, totalizando um quantitativo profissional de 30. A média de enfermeiros no período matutino foi de 1,8; no período vespertino foi de dois e no período noturno foi de um enfermeiro. A média de profissionais de nível médio no períodomatutino foi de 5,2; no período vespertino foi de quatro e no período noturno foi de três profissionais de nível médio. O aplicativo E-dimensionamento demonstrou que para este cenário é necessário o total de horas de enfermagem de 93,33 e um quantitativo profissional de 25. Observou-se um total de 20 (7,9%) eventos adversos. Houve nove (3,6%) notificações de perda do acesso venoso; sete (2,8%) notificações de infecção do sítio cirúrgico, quatro (1,6%) notificações de infecção do acesso venoso, não houve ocorrência de queda. Considerando o número de profissionais da enfermagem nesta unidade de internação cirúrgica observou-se uma adequação numérica às exigências do Conselho Federal de Enfermagem, ainda que o índice de ocorrência de eventos adversos cirúrgicos tenha sido superior ao de outros estudos, o que demonstra a necessidade de estudos que avalie a qualidade da assistência prestada e outros fatores que contribuem para a ocorrência de eventos adversos.Abstract : A descriptive and correlational research with a quantitative approach, aimed at analyzing the relationship of the dimensioning of nurses in a hospital surgical unit with regards the occurrence of adverse events. The data collection was conducted in the period between March 23rd and April 14th, every other day up to 94 patients. In the days of data collection all inpatients were evaluated and interviewed in order to identify the occurrence of adverse events and classify patients according to the degree of dependence on nursing, totaling at the end of data collection 252 assessments. In identifying the occurrence of surgical site infection it was used a script of evaluation of the occurrence of surgical infection. For the identification of the loss or infection of venous access was used a script of infection or venous loss access. For the evaluation of categorical variables was used the frequency distribution and Chi-Square tests and for quantitative variables, mean, standard deviation and variance analysis as a fixed factor. For inferential analysis, the level of significance was 5%, with the support of the statistical software Statistical Package for Social Science. In the occurrence of adverse events it was performed the analysis of the dimensioning nursing of professional?s role from the application of the Federal Council of Nursing E- dimensioning. The project was submitted to the Committee on Ethics and Human Research of the Institution of origin. The average bed occupancy was 25.4 beds per day. The average daily inpatient classified with minimal care was 21.6; with intermediate care was 2.7 and semi-intensive care was 1.1. The unit comprises a role of professional consisting of 8 staff nurses and 22 mid-level professionals, totaling a professional quantitative of 30. The average of nurses in the morning period was 1.8; in the evening period it was 2 and no night time was 1 nurse. The mid-level professional level in the morning period was 5.2; in the evening period it was 4 and night time was 3 professional level. The E-dimensioning app for this scenario showed that total 93.33 hours of nursing and a quantitative 25 professionals is necessary. A total of 20 (7.9%) adverse events were observed. There were nine (3.6%) notifications of loss venous access; seven (2.8%) notifications of Surgical Site Infections, four (1.6%) notifications of infection of venousaccess and there were no reports of falls. Considering the number of nurses in the hospital surgical unit, a number of the requirements of the Federal Council of Nursing adaptation was observed, although the rate of occurrence of surgical adverse events has been higher than in other studies, which demonstrated the need for further studies to assess the quality of the assistance and other factors that contribute to the occurrence of adverse events

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
