Objectives:
to develop, validate, and evaluate an educational video on the prevention and management of antineoplastic agent extravasation, aimed at nursing professionals.
Methods:
this methodological study was developed according to Falkembach’s theoretical framework, which outlines five phases in the production of educational video materials: analysis and planning, modeling, implementation, evaluation, and distribution.
Results:
content validation demonstrated agreement above the minimum threshold stipulated. The overall Content Validity Index was 90.8%, and it was 94.2% among the content and technical evaluation judges, respectively. The target audience evaluated the video positively, highlighting the importance of the content, the clarity of the language used, and the understanding of the information pertinent to the topic.
Conclusions:
the video proved to be an appropriate strategy for instructing interventions on the prevention and management of extravasation, with the potential to improve educational practices among nursing professionals.

Objectives:
to identify and analyze the factors that contribute to safety incident occurrence in the processes of prescribing, preparing and dispensing antineoplastic medications in pediatric oncology patients.
Methods:
a quality improvement study focused on oncopediatric pharmaceutical care processes that identified and analyzed incidents between 2019-2020. A multidisciplinary group performed root cause analysis (RCA), identifying main contributing factors.
Results:
in 2019, seven incidents were recorded, 57% of which were prescription-related. In 2020, through active search, 34 incidents were identified, 65% relating to prescription, 29% to preparation and 6% to dispensing. The main contributing factors were interruptions, lack of electronic alert, work overload, training and staff shortages.
Conclusions:
the results showed that adequate recording and application of RCA to identified incidents can provide improvements in the quality of pediatric oncology care, mapping contributing factors and enabling managers to develop an effective action plan to mitigate risks associated with the process.

Objective:
To identify the prevalence of xerostomia in women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer.
Method:
Prospective cohort with 27 women who underwent up to 16 sessions of intravenous chemotherapy. Data collection was performed at the outpatient clinic of a university hospital in the city of São Paulo, where two forms were applied before the start of treatment and the Xerostomia Inventory before and after each chemotherapy session.
Results:
Complaints of dry mouth were present in 48.1% of women before chemotherapy, and they were approximately 28 times more likely to develop dry mouth during treatment. It was observed that the use of antiemetics contributed to the occurrence of xerostomia, and the anti-ulcerous were presented as a protective factor.
Conclusion:
The study identified both a high prevalence of xerostomia regardless of the chemotherapy used and the need to create protocols to improve the quality of life of these patients.

Objectives:
to identify and synthesize scientific evidence on prevention and management of extravasation of antineoplastic agents in adult patients by nurses.
Methods:
scoping review, according to Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR. Research was conducted in five electronic databases, Cochrane Library and eight catalogs of theses and dissertations. Data collection occurred from April to July 2018, with no time limit. The extracted data were analyzed and synthesized in a narrative way.
Results:
a total of 3,110 records were retrieved and 18 studies were kept for review. Most publications (66.6%) had a qualitative approach and addressed both aspects, i.e., prevention and management of extravasation of chemotherapy in adult patients.
Conclusions:
the implementation of protocols based on scientific evidence on prevention and management of extravasation of antineoplastic agents is paramount in order to provide patient safety and support to the nursing staff.

Objective:
To identify the nursing interventions with potential to act on the suffering and to evaluate the results of the nursing intervention designed.
Method:
We used a multi method study. After the identification of the scientific evidence and having found the supporting theory, the intervention process to relieve the suffering of hospitalized patients was modeled using the methodology of qualitative research. Then, training conditions were created for the implementation of the intervention Chemotherapy Administration as an Individualized Nursing Intervention, with a Quasi Experimental, longitudinal piloting study.
Results:
The patients of the experimental group showed values of suffering lower than the control group . Having finished the pilot study, we would return to qualitative research to understand the variation of some data.
Final Considerations:
The use of mixed methods of investigations allowed the understanding of the different components of drug chemotherapy administration as an individualized nursing intervention.

Objective:
To identify in the literature the cardiovascular adverse events resulting from oral antineoplastic therapy.
Method:
Integrative review of the literature through the SCOPUS, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) databases. The antineoplastic, cardiotoxicity, cardiovascular system and adverse reaction descriptors were used in Portuguese, English and Spanish. We selected 23 articles published between 1985 and 2015.
Results:
Twenty studies were related to cardiac events and eleven to peripheral vascular events. The most frequent adverse cardiac events were reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, myocardial infarction, changes in the electrocardiogram, heart failure and angina, whereas peripheral vascular events were hypertension and thromboembolism.
Conclusion:
Oral antineoplastic therapy is associated with different adverse events, including cardiac and peripheral vascular events.
