Objective:
to analyze the accuracy measurements of clinical indicators of the nursing diagnosis Ineffective airway clearance.
Method:
cross-sectional study with 205 asthmatic children treated in the emergency unit of a hospital in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará. An interview script and pulmonary evaluation were used for data collection.
Results:
the diagnosis of Ineffective airway clearance was present in 89.3% of the sample. The most prevalent clinical indicators were dyspnea, change in respiratory rate, change in respiratory rhythm, orthopnea, adventitious respiratory sounds and ineffective cough. The clinical indicators with highest sensitivity were dyspnea, change in respiratory rate, change in respiratory rhythm, orthopnea and adventitious respiratory sounds. Ineffective cough and adventitious respiratory sounds were the indicators with best specifi city.
Conclusion:
the clinical indicator adventitious respiratory sounds was the best predictor of Ineffective airway clearance in asthmatic children treated in emergency units.

Objective:
to describe the mortality from external causes, by Health Regions in Pernambuco, during the periods of2001-2003 and 2011-2013.
Method:
descriptive study with data from the Mortality Information System. For data analysis we used percentage, percentage variation and proportion ratio.
Results:
mortality from external causes reduced in Pernambuco, however, mortality increased in some health regions of the countryside. Increased numbers of deaths from accidents and event of undetermined intent were registered. There was an increase of deaths classified as “other/unspecified” event of undetermined intent.
Conclusion:
there was a change in the spatial distribution of mortality from external causes moving to Pernambuco countryside regions. We found necessity for data classification regarding deaths from external causes and strengthening of the monitoring.

Objective:
to analyze the factors related to the structure, process and outcomes of organ and tissue donation for transplantation.
Method:
analytic, longitudinal and quantitative study, conducted in six hospitals in Natal/RN, between August 2010 and February 2011, with 65 potential donors (PD), by means of no participant observation structured script.
Results:
regarding the donation structure, there was deficiencies of physical resources (temperature control), materials (mobile radiology) human resources (nurse technicians) and lack of adequate records and care protocols. In the process of donation, the biggest problems were related to the evaluation stages, brain death diagnosis, maintenance and documentation, with greater proportion of care for the non-donor.
Conclusion:
the structure and process possibly determined the result of 72.3% no donation implementation of potential donors, indices compatible with the national data, but contradictory to those of Spain, which manages to transplant organs of 86.7% of its donors.

Objective:
to assess whether dietary intake of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) meets national and international recommendations and whether there is a relationship with the levels of stress.
Method:
a cross-sectional study with 150 patients with ACS, who were interviewed with the Food Frequency Questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale-10.
Results:
daily intake above the recommendations: cholesterol (92%), fiber (42.7%) and protein (68%); intake below the recommendations: potassium (88%) and carbohydrates (68.7%); intake according to the recommendations: sodium (53.3%) and lipids (53.3%). Most patients with inadequate dietary intake (54%) were stressed or highly stressed. There was a signifi cant association between a lower stress level and a higher fi ber intake.
Conclusion:
in patients with ACS, dietary intake did not meet the guideline recommendations, and a lower fi ber intake occurs concomitantly with higher stress levels. Educational efforts can support patients in dietary intake adequacy and stress control.

Objective:
to understand how religiosity can influence the health of individuals diagnosed with mental disorders, based on comprehensive care.
Methods:
this is an integrative literature review, with the inclusion of articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish, between 2010 and 2018.
Results:
the critical analysis and qualitative synthesis of the 24 selected studies were categorized into two subtopics: The influence of religiosity in promoting comprehensive mental health care; Mental health versus religiosity: influencing conditions for effective access to comprehensive care.
Final considerations:
a positive influence of religiosity was identified in the lives of individuals diagnosed with mental disorders; however, evidence shows that health teams do not feel comfortable and prepared to work with religiosity as an expression of spirituality. This being one of the dimensional aspects of health, it can be inferred, on the results, the existence of this gap in the comprehensive care approach.

In the Sign-out stage, 69.34% of professionals did not count or occasionally counted the surgical instruments and suture needles, and only 36.36% reviewed concerns about postoperative recovery.
Conclusion:
this study identified needs for improvements in applying the checklist in the Brazilian reality, to guarantee safer surgical procedures.

Objective:
To identify the pattern of medication consumption among the elderly assisted in Primary Health Care.
Methods:
Descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional study, with a sample of 315 elderly people, in a city in rural Rio Grande do Norte.
Results:
The average age was 72.41 years, with an average consumption of 3.15 medications per day, ranging from 1 to 16 medications daily. There was a prevalence of antihypertensives, antidiabetics, hypolipidemic and psychotropic drugs. 238 different drugs were mentioned, 15 of which were “potentially inappropriate drugs” for the elderly. Most of these patients follow treatment according to medical prescription, with low self-medication. Most elderly people buy their drugs, although many are available for free.
Conclusion:
The most consumed drugs are consistent with the most reported diseases (hypertension and diabetes). The daily use of inappropriate medications for the elderly is worrying, especially psychotropics, given the risks of dependence or health complications of these users.

Objectives:
To analyze the temporal trend of mortality from sickle cell anemia in Brazil, by region, in the period 1997-2017.
Methods:
epidemiological study, with an ecological design, with a temporal trend, carried out with data from the Mortality Information System. For descriptive analysis, absolute and relative frequencies were used. In the correlation analysis, the ANOVA test was used, followed by Tukey’s post-test. The temporal trend was obtained using the cubic polynomial regression test.

Brown individuals (50.87%) were more frequent, with a predominance of males (50.4%), aged between 25 and 34 years and a higher incidence of deaths in the Midwest (0.25/100 thousand inhabitants). The time curve showed an increasing trend of deaths in the country between 1997 and 2015 (R2 = 0.98).
Conclusions:
sickle cell anemia showed increasing mortality in the 21 years analyzed and alerts health professionals and managers.

Objective:
Description and discussion dimensions of Integrated Care Model.
Methods:
A descriptive study is done that describe a technological innovation, intervention strategies for professional performance.
Results:
Integrated Care Model (ICM) has two main categories include individual and Group-and disease-specific Model. First, is used for risky patients or with comorbidities. In second category; Chronic Care Model (CCM) is common form of Integrated Care Model to improve resultants in the patients with chronic condition, to move from acute care to integrate, regular, long-lasting, preventative and community-based nursing.
Final considerations:
It is important to consider patient as an active member of the treatment team. It seems to be essential to monitor performance of care system. On the other hand, offer multidisciplinary care leads to present desirable care, tailored to the specific needs of patients regarding safety, patient-centered care and their culture.
