Objective:
To reflect on the main characteristics and recommendations of Incident Reporting Systems, discuss the population’s participation in reporting, and point out challenges in the Brazilian system.
Method:
Reflection study, based on Ordinance No. 529/13, which instituted the National Patient Safety Program, under Collegiate Board Resolution (CBR) No. 36/13; reflections by experts were added.
Results:
Reporting systems are a source for learning and monitoring, allow early detection of incidents, investigations and, mainly, the generation of recommendations prior to recurrences, in addition to raising information for patients and relatives. There is little participation of the population in the reporting, regardless of the type of system and characteristics such as confidentiality, anonymity, and mandatory nature.
Final Considerations:
In Brazil, although reporting is mandatory, there is an urgency to advance the involvement and participation of the population, professionals, and institutions. To simplify data entry by improving the interface and importing data from the reporting system is an objective to be achieved.

Objective:
Elaborate and validate an educational technology for adolescents on leprosy, focusing on preventing the disease and reducing stigma.
Method:
First, a prototype of the educational technology was elaborated and later analyzed by 17 adolescents and 7 researchers’ experts in the leprosy area and educational technologies who answered a questionnaire with questions related to the subject. Subsequently, the technology has been applied to 43 adolescents, and a questionnaire was handed before and after the use of the game, so that questionnaire scores were compared by a Wilcoxon paired test.
Results:
After the data collection with researchers and adolescents, the answers received descriptive treatment, and the Content Validity Index was calculated, which reached a good level of agreement, with an overall value (0.86), although there were improvements to the technology, based on the perceptions of researchers and adolescents.
Conclusions:
There was an increase in knowledge about leprosy.

Objectives:
to understand the experience of nurses with nursing consultations in the context of the Family Health Strategy and propose a representative model.
Methods:
qualitative research using Grounded Theory, with 14 nurses working through non-directive interviews. For data analysis, three stages were used: open, axial and selective coding, which originated phenomena, themes, categories and subcategories, which supported the construction of the central category and, consequently, the theoretical model.
Results:
the interrelation of phenomena emerged from the essence of the nurse’s experience, revealing the central category: From nursing education to the practice of Nursing Consultation, unveiling learning, challenges and autonomy as intervening components. Final Considerations: the nurse’s experience is positive and, despite numerous challenges in daily life, the nurse has been performing it based on comprehensive care. New studies may add new understandings that enable the expansion of working conditions, valuing the nursing consultation.

Objective:
to analyze a Psychosocial Care Network structure, based on the compromise of its resources and meeting objectives and guidelines recommended in Ordinance 3,088/2011.
Method:
an empirical, quantitative study with 123 primary care professionals, psychosocial and emergency care, who work at Western Network of the city of São Paulo. Questionnaires and statistical analysis were applied through the Exact Fisher’s test with 5% significance considering p= <0.05.
Results:
there is compromise of physical resources in the absence of mental health beds in a general hospital (p=0.047); of technological resources in the lack of discussion forums (p=0.036); of human resources in number of teams (p=0.258); and of financial resources (p=0.159). Psychosocial care is the one that most meets the objectives and guidelines.
Conclusion:
there are insufficient physical, technological, human, and financial resources for the work articulated in the three care modalities that are heterogeneous in terms of meeting the objectives and guidelines.
