ABSTRACT Introduction : Delirium is one of the most common complications among intensive care patients that has a significant impact on outcomes in increased morbidity, mortality and impaired quality of life. Nurses play a key role in preventing and treating delirium syndrome when it comes to non-pharmacological and pharmacological measures. Aim: This study aimed to ascertain which nursing interventions are most effective in the prevention and management of delirium in patients admitted to intensive care units. Methods: A literature review was compiled by consulting the scientific databases PubMed and CINAHL. Although the search was also conducted on other databases such as the Cochrane Library, the selected articles that met the inclusion criteria came from both PubMed and CINAHL. The selected articles concerned studies published within the last 3 years. Results: 16 articles were selected that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria: 6 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, 1 quality improvement study, 1 study with pretest-posttest design with control group, 1 mixed-methods randomised controlled feasibility study, 1 scoping review, 1 blinded randomised multicentre study, 1 literature review, 1 prospective multicentre study, 1 single-blind randomised controlled study, 1 retrospective cohort study and 1 guideline. Conclusions: The studies showed that a multimodal approach, integrating pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, is essential to reduce the incidence and duration of delirium in critically ill patients. Nurses, through their continuous presence, are in a privileged position to implement these interventions and improve clinical outcomes. Key-words: Delirium, Intensive Care, Nursing Interventions, Prevention, Management.
Introduzione : Il delirium è una delle complicanze più diffuse tra i pazienti in terapia intensiva che ha un impatto significativo sui risultati in un aumento della morbilità, mortalità e compromissione della qualità della vita. Gli infermieri svolgono un ruolo fondamentale nel prevenire e trattare la sindrome da delirium quando si tratta di misure non farmacologiche e farmacologiche. Obiettivo: Questo studio si propone di accertare quali interventi infermieristici siano più efficaci nella prevenzione e gestione del delirium nei pazienti ricoverati in terapia intensiva. Metodi: È stata redatta una revisione della letteratura mediante la consultazione dei database scientifici PubMed e CINAHL. Sebbene la ricerca sia stata condotta anche su altre banche dati come la Cochrane Library, gli articoli selezionati che rispondevano ai criteri di inclusione provenivano sia da PubMed che da CINAHL. Gli articoli scelti riguardavano studi pubblicati negli ultimi 3 anni. Risultati: Sono stati selezionati 16 articoli che rispondevano ai criteri di inclusione ed esclusione: 6 revisioni sistematiche e meta-analisi, 1 studio di miglioramento della qualità, 1 studio con disegno pretest-posttest con gruppo di controllo, 1 studio di fattibilità randomizzato controllato con metodi misti, 1 scoping review, 1 studio multicentrico randomizzato in cieco, 1 revisione della letteratura, 1 studio multicentrico prospettico, 1 studio randomizzato controllato in singolo cieco, 1 studio di coorte retrospettivo e 1 linea guida. Conclusioni: Gli studi hanno evidenziato che un approccio multimodale, che integra interventi farmacologici e non farmacologici, è essenziale per ridurre l'incidenza e la durata del delirium nei pazienti critici. Gli infermieri, grazie alla loro presenza continua, sono in una posizione privilegiata per implementare questi interventi e migliorare gli esiti clinici. Parole Chiavi: Delirium, Terapia Intensiva, Interventi Infermieristici, Prevenzione, Gestione.
