Bernardes, Rafael A.; Caldeira, Silvia; Parreira, Pedro; Sousa, Liliana B.; Almeida, Inês F.; Santos-Costa, Paulo; Paiva-Santos, FilipeIntroduction: Nursing students are exposed to increased risks of developing foot and ankle disorders due to prolonged standing and walking positions during clinical settings. This can lead to high dropout rates from nursing degree, thus contributing to a future shortage in nursing professionals. This protocol aims to develop a study to understand the influence of prolonged standing and walking positions on nurs...
Nurses' involvement in the development and usability assessment of an innovativ...
Santos-Costa, Paulo; Alves, Mariana; Sousa, Carolina; Sousa, Liliana B.; Paiva-Santos, Filipe; Bernardes, Rafael A.; Ventura, FilipaGuaranteeing peripheral venous access is one of the cornerstones of modern healthcare. Recent evidence shows that the lack of adequate clinical devices can result in the provision of substandard care to patients who require peripheral intravenous catheterization (PIVC). To address this challenge, we aimed to develop a PIVC pack for adult patients and assess the usability of this new device. Methods: Following a...
