Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Ostomy Care

Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Public Health
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular complications.
  • Effective primary care management is crucial for controlling hypertension.
  • Predictive tools can aid in early identification of at-risk patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a predictive scale for hypertension complications in adults.
  • To identify key factors associated with hypertension complications.
  • To propose evidence-based actions for supported self-care in primary care.

Main Methods:

  • Methodological research conducted in Curitiba-PR, Brazil (2013-2014).
  • Data collected from 387 adults with hypertension via structured interviews and validated scales (anxiety, depression, quality of life, medication adherence, social support).
  • Scale construction based on statistically significant variables identified through multivariate analysis.

Main Results:

  • The predictive scale incorporates age, sex, smoking status, duration of hypertension diagnosis, health unit risk classification, current medications, and depression levels.
  • These factors were identified as significant predictors of hypertension complications.
  • Literature review informed the development of suggested supported self-care actions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed scale effectively identifies factors predicting hypertension complications.
  • The scale supports primary care by enabling targeted interventions.
  • Proposed actions facilitate supported self-care, potentially improving hypertension management and reducing complications.
