Objectives:
to understand nurses’ and physicians’ perceptions of the care of people with cancer admitted to an emergency department of a general hospital.
Methods:
descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Data collection took place from September to November 2017 through semi-structured interviews in which participated 12 professionals from the emergency department, including nurses and physicians. The data were analyzed using Minayo’s operative proposal.
Results:
three categories emerged: 1) The person with cancer from nurses and physicians’ perspective; 2) Comprehensive care of people with cancer or deconfiguration in the emergency department?; and 3) The context of the emergency department and the repercussions on the care of people with cancer.
Final Considerations:
we identified that the care provided to people with cancer in the emergency department is carried out differently regarding the overall population due to the disease’s particularities, which lead us to reflect on the quality and humanization of care.

Results:
Among physicians, 64.1% reported routinely diagnosing dementia, but only 23.1% in the mild phase; 89.2% mentioned difficulties in identifying cases of the disease; 94.9%, difficulties in the treatment and monitoring of patients, including the needs to support the caregiver (28.2%); 84.6% of doctors and 79.2% of nurses reported difficulties in monitoring severe cases of the disease.

Objective:
to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with suicide risk among nurses and physicians.
Method:
a cross-sectional study carried out at a university hospital with 216 health professionals, who answered a socio-demographic-labor questionnaire, the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) for assessing suicide risk, and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21). The Poisson Regression Model was used for multiple analysis.
Results:
it was identified that variables such as not having a partner, history of attempted suicide, stress and depression symptoms were statistically associated with suicide risk. The prevalence of lifelong suicide attempts among nurses was 9.41%, and among physicians, 2.29%.
Conclusion:
the findings of this investigation enable the understanding of suicidal behavior among hospital nurses and physicians, in addition to enabling the development of prevention strategies in order to reduce suicide risk prevalence in this population group.

Objectives:
to assess Primary Health Care physicians and nurses’ knowledge about initial care for burn patients.
Methods:
a descriptive cross-sectional survey of 71 professionals between February 19 and March 30, 2018. A validated questionnaire was used to assess knowledge through the correct answers obtained in the tool; Mann-Whitney test to compare professionals’ level of knowledge; and logistic regression to investigate the association with other variables.
Results:
there was an overall wrong answer rate of 40.27% in a tool applied to the subject in relation to physicians and 45.59% of nurses, with no statistically significant difference among them (p=0.27). There was a positive association between level of knowledge and length of practice in Primary Health Care (p=0.043). 29.19% of physicians and 14.89% of nurses knew the Ministry of Health’s flowchart for initial care for burn victims.
Conclusions:
professionals had a low level of knowledge associated with their time in Primary Health Care.
