Objective:
To analyze content validity evidence and response processes of a bank of items for measuring vulnerability to physical inactivity in adults.
Method:
Methodological study, with 13 specialists and 46 representatives of the target population. The Content Validity Index (CVI) and binomial test were calculated; data obtained through validity based on response processes were collected through interviews.
Results:
Of the 105 constructed items, 16 were excluded (CVI<0.78); 89 items showed agreement <80% in the psychometric criteria, being modified. Of the 101 items that remained (CVI>0.78), 34 were changed and 4 were deleted after evaluating the evidence of response processes. In the end, 97 items remained, with a global CVI of 0.92, organized into two dimensions: Subject (CVI=0.91) and Social (CVI=0.94).
Conclusion:
The items presented adequate parameters and evidence of validity; and can subsidize the construction of instruments that consider the subject’s and social vulnerability in understanding physical inactivity.

Objectives:
to develop a responsive website focused on treatment adherence for adult users living with HIV.
Methods:
technological study conducted between August and October 2020, in the light of Pierre Lévy’s theoretical-philosophical framework, using the Double Diamond Process methodology associated with the five stages of The Elements of User Experience framework.
Results:
it was developed the responsive website Positive Care (Positive o Cuidado), composed of an initial presentation screen and 13 other screens named: Family Health and You; Undetectable = Untransmissible; Antiretroviral Drugs; Routine Tests; Vaccination; Antiretroviral Delivery; Drug Interactions; Combined Prevention; Support Services; Healthy Life; Family and Reproductive Planning; Covid 19; and Questions, Curiosities, and Myths.
Final Considerations:
the responsive website was developed based on the software design and programming process and has requirements/functionalities with the potential to strengthen the collective intelligence about HIV and, consequently, to promote treatment adherence by its users.

Objectives:
to map the strategies for managing thirst in postoperative adult patients.
Methods:
scoping review was conducted in October 2021 in 19 data sources: 14 databases and 5 platforms to search in the grey literature. It was prepared according to the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute and the checklist of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Nine selected articles were part of the final sample.
Results:
there is evidence of strategies to manage postoperative thirst using interventions such as water, ice, mentholated measures, carbohydrate and protein enriched fluid, oral hydrator, flavored gargling, cold gargling, wet gauze, 0.75% citric acid spray, and cold water.
Final Considerations:
the strategies observed may be reduced to cold and menthol use, salivary stimulants, and early introduction of fluids. The outcomes were positive in all the studies reviewed.

Objectives:
To identify the main non-pharmacological analgesia strategies used in clinical practice in adult and elderly endovascular procedures.
Methods:
scoping review, undertaken in July 2021, on 12 national and international data sources. The recommendations of the JBI and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist were followed. Thirteen studies were selected to compose the sample, with no time or language cut-off.
Results:
the main non-pharmacological strategies found were cold compress, use of music, and reflexology. The most prevalent procedures were coronary angiography, peripheral venous catheterization, and femoral catheter removal. Pain measurement by Visual Numeric Scale and Visual Analog Scale described pain reduction in adults and elderly.
Conclusions:
the main non-pharmacological strategies found were cold compress, use of music, and reflexology, which reduce pain in adults and the elderly.

Objectives:
to map methods and devices used to assess very short-, short-, medium-, and long-term pressure variability in adults with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods:
scoping review conducted in January and February 2021 in MEDLINE, Web of Science, CINAHL, LILACS, PubMed, and Embase databases. Studies conducted within the last ten years analyzing pressure variability in adult and older patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2 were included. Studies that used discontinued devices were excluded.
Results:
the sample was composed of 25 articles published since 2017, with the majority developed in Japan (n=11); with the predominance of the oscillometric method (n=22); the most used devices were from the Omron® brand (n=14); the most detected type was long-term variability (n=10).
Conclusions:
we observed the increasing application of the oscillometric method for pressure variability analysis with various brands and models of automatic devices.

Objective:
To assess the presence and extension of the attribute “Community Orientation” of Primary Health Care from the perspective of health services adult users from the Municipality of Juazeiro do Norte-CE.
Methods:
Quantitative, cross-sectional and evaluative study, carried out in 14 Basic Health Units, from October 2016 to June 2017, using the Primary Care Assessment Tool.
Results:
The attribute assessment was negative, reaching expressive negative responses in the seven districts, with a mean score of 3.8 (±3.8). The Raw Score (RS) reached a mean of 6.6 and the Derived Score (DS) was assigned a score of 6.4, below the cut-off point ≥ 6.60.
Conclusion:
The low value of the DS represents that units are not providers of PHC, suggesting fragility in the integration of services with the community and the need to promote greater discussion among agents, when designing measures of intervention and improvement of scores.

Objective:
To characterize the socioeconomic and clinical profile of adult cancer patients in palliative therapy.
Method:
Cross-sectional study in an oncology hospital in Paraná, with 124 adult patients who started palliative therapy in the period from Jan. 2 to June 30, 2015.
Results:
Of the participating population, 60.5% were women, 68.5% white, 48.4% married, 72.6% catholic and with income of one to two minimum wages. Non-smokers, 45.2%, non-alcoholics 75%, and 92% had Performance Status 1 and 2. The predominant primary diagnosis was breast cancer, with previous chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The sites of metastasis were lung/mediastinum/bronchi and lymph nodes.
Conclusion:
The socioeconomic and clinical context characterized the profile of adult patients in palliative therapy. The demand arising from the increase in cases of advanced cancer requires nursing care at all stages of treatment.
