Objective:
To understand the meaning of being institutionalized and in conflict with the law for the institutionalized adolescent.
Method:
A qualitative, phenomenological-comprehensive study carried out in a Socio-educational Service Foundation in the northern region of Brazil, with 05 institutionalized adolescents. The analysis was carried out under the understanding of the content suggested by Heidgger, thus allowing the construction of analytical categories for a hermeneutical interpretation.
Results:
Conflicting with the law means something negative and bad for the institutionalized adolescents, in which they understand that although there is deprivation of liberty, the period of hospitalization is an important moment for the reflection on the need to start over.
Conclusion:
The meaning of conflicting with the law goes far beyond a simple word, act or behaviour, it is something that only those who experience the phenomenon are able to unveil, arouse deep feelings and provide reflection to the adolescent about the damages caused by the infraction.

Objective:
To identify the presence and extent of essential attributes in primary health care services for children, focusing on the evaluation of structure and process.
Method:
Evaluative, quantitative study carried out in 23 traditional basic health units in a city in Parana State, with 548 caregivers of children under 12 years old, using the Primary Care Assessment Instrument (PCATool Brazil), child version.

Objective:
Analyze the influence of ear protectors on the baseline levels of salivary cortisol and response and total sleep time of preterm neonates during two periods of environmental management of a neonatal intermediate care unit.
Method:
A clinical, randomized, controlled and crossover study conducted with 12 preterm neonates. The use of ear protectors was randomized in two periods. Sleep evaluation was performed using one Alice 5 Polysomnography System and unstructured observation.

No relationship was observed between the baseline levels of cortisol and response and total sleep time.
Conclusion:
Ear protectors in preterm neonates did not influence the salivary cortisol level and total sleep time in the studied periods.

Objective:
to analyze the contribution of clinical nursing care to the mother who has recently given birth with immediate postpartum pain based on the Kolcaba’s Theory of Comfort.
Method:
qualitative study by the research-care method. Three nurses, who provided care for women in the immediate puerperium as caregiver-researchers and 30 postpartum women, were admitted to a public maternity hospital. A semi-structured interview was used for data collection, from which the thematic analysis of the content was carried out.

Objective:
To identify tuberculosis-related health care and surveillance actions in Prison Health Units.
Method:
Cross-sectional study, of quantitative, exploratory and descriptive character. We visited 13 Teams of Prison Health, and nurses and technicians were interviewed regarding epidemiological surveillance instruments, physical structure and materials.
Results:
Search for respiratory symptoms in admission was reported by 6 (46.2%) of the teams, and the smear microscopy was the most requested test. The Logbook of Respiratory Symptoms and the Logbook for Monitoring Tuberculosis Cases were used in 7 (53.8%) institutions. Two of them (15.4%) had a location for sputum collection and 1 (7.7%) had a radiographer. The Directly Observed Therapy was reported in 7 (53.8%) units.
Conclusion:
Health care actions related to the search for respiratory symptoms and Directly Observed Therapy should be expanded, as well as surveillance actions and recording in official documents of the National Tuberculosis Control Program.

Objective:
To adapt and validate the content of the Advanced Practice Nursing Competency Assessment Instrument (APNCAI) to Brazilian culture.
Methods:
This is a methodological study that followed the stages of translation, synthesis, back translation, evaluation by a committee of five specialists, pre-test with 31 nurses, and evaluation by the author of the original instrument. The Content Validity Index (minimum 0.90) and the modified Kappa (minimum 0.74) were calculated to evaluate the content.
Result:
In the first round of content evaluation, 18 items had to be altered because they did not reach the minimum values established. Three items have not reached a consensus in the second round and had to be sent to the author of the original version. In the pre-test, 13 items were returned to the specialists because they suffered content changes.
Conclusion:
The Advanced Practice Nursing Competency Assessment Instrument (APNCAI) – Brazilian version was cross-culturally adapted, and its content was validated.

Objective:
To analyze the concept of “frailty syndrome” in the literature, according to the method proposed by Walker and Avant.
Methods:
It is a concept analysis, guided by the method proposed by Walker and Avant, made operational through an integrative literature review. The search in a scientific database was carried out using the descriptors: Frail elderly, syndrome, phenotype, geriatric assessment, and aging. The literary corpus comprised 66 studies. Results: The study found the antecedents and attributes (categorized as physical, sociodemographic, and behavioral/environmental) that integrate the signs and symptoms evidenced in the “frailty syndrome,” as well as the consequences of this concept. The variables were analyzed with emphasis on the conceptions that influence the frailty process of the elderly.
Conclusion:
The study demonstrated the complexity arising from the multifactorial genesis of the referred syndrome, emphasizing the specificities of the elderly’s frailty. However, we recommend conducting further research involving the phenomenon in question to understand the construct better.

Only 16 articles cited the methodological framework, while 22 used theories or models for theoretical foundation and 11 carried out literature reviews.
Final considerations:
The development of MRT included the presentation of fundamental concepts, synthesis, propositions, hypotheses and specific name. The MRT is recognized as a way of developing knowledge to guide the nursing practice.

Objectives:
to describe, from literature, the characteristics of patient safety culture in Brazilian hospitals that applied the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture.
Methods:
this is a scoping review. A search was performed in the databases LILACS, PubMed, SciELO, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus and in the CAPES Dissertations and Theses Database in September and October 2020.
Results:
thirty-six studies were identified. Nine studies identified strengthened areas such as: “teamwork within the units”, “expectations of supervisor/boss and actions promoting safety”, “organizational learning”, “support of hospital management for patient safety” and “frequency of report of events”. As a critical area, the dimension “non-punitive response to error” was evidenced in 30 of 36 studies.
Conclusions:
the identification of areas of strength and critical areas of safety culture is relevant to encourage improvement of patient safety problems in an institution.

Objectives:
to compare the effect of adjuvant low-laser light therapy versus conventional treatment alone on venous ulcer healing.
Methods:
this is a randomized clinical trial with 40 patients randomized equally to a control group (topical and compressive treatment) and intervention group (adjuvant low-laser light therapy). Outcomes of interest were Wound Healing: Secondary Intention and Tissue Integrity: Skin & Mucous Membranes, as described in the Classification of Nursing Outcomes/NOC.
Results:
groups with similar sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Eighty-two ulcers were assessed, with an average duration of 1 to 5 years, in 1,066 nursing consultations, with a statistically significant difference in the time and number of healed ulcers (intervention group). There was a significant improvement in the nursing outcomes under study and in eight clinical indicators.
Conclusions:
low-laser light therapy improves and reduces tissue regeneration time, contributing to advances in wound treatment.
