Objective:
to identify the relationship between environmental factors and errors in the preparation and administration of antibacterial.
Method:
an observational, cross-sectional study conducted between August and December, 2014 in two clinical units. The sample consisted of 265 doses of medication, observed in different shifts that through a form had the environmental conditions of noise, illumination, humidity, temperature and physical space measured in the preparation and administration stages.
Results:
the physical dimension for the preparation was inadequate in one unit (3.8m2), and the items illumination, temperature and noise were extremely oscillating in the three shifts and in the two clinics, with averages generally higher than the recommended for the hospital environment, however, variations in illumination and noise were not statistically significant to cause dose errors or erroneous medicine choice (p> 0.05).
Conclusion:
the environmental variables analyzed may favor medication errors in both the preparation and administration stages.

Objective:
to evaluate the adherence and associate it to blood pressure control and to follow-up observation of people with hypertension in the Brazil’s Family Health Strategy.
Method:
cross-sectional study, conducted with 417 people in treatment of hypertension, living in a municipality located in the Northwest region of the state of Paraná, Brazil. The data were collected in the first 2016 semester, using an instrument adapted and validated for the evaluation of satisfaction with the services offered by Primary Health Care. Analysis of variance and the logistic regression model were used for the treatment of variables.
Results:
it was evidenced that people with inadequate follow-up observation evaluate the relations between professional/user and the guidance to the medications used as unsatisfactory.
Conclusion:
weak guidelines and ineffective dialogue between health professionals and users might result in an inadequate follow-up observation of blood pressure control and of people with hypertension.

Objective:
To estimate prevalence of intrafamilial violence experience and its association with sociodemographic, sexual and use of alcohol/drugs variables in teenagers of a public school in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
Method:
Cross-sectional study with 239 teenagers. Data were collected through structured instrument, analyzed according to descriptive and inferential statistics, with multiple logistic regression.
Results:
Research pointed out a high prevalence of intrafamilial violence among teenagers (60.67%). Experience of this grievance was associated, with statistical significance, with the variables: higher age range (PR = 1.83 and 95%CI: 1.05 – 3.18) and regular use of condom (PR = 1.81 and 95%CI: 1.06 – 3.08). Violence was also associated with consumption of alcohol and marijuana.
Conclusion:
Regular use of condom and consumption of alcohol and/or marijuana represent risk behaviors to the experience of intrafamilial violence by teenagers in school, especially older than 15 years old.

Women with a good overall health status showed a lower rate than men, 55% and 69%, respectively. Individuals that showed a lower risk of malnutrition are those with a positive perception than those who have a good overall health. Frail elderly people showed a higher risk of malnutrition (57.5%) compared to non-frail subjects (20.2%) p< 0.001.
Conclusion:
Frail women, self-assessed health, overall health, and use of health care services (nursing consultation) were related to a higher risk of malnutrition.

Objective:
To verify the temporal trend of neonatal mortality in the health regions of Pernambuco between 2000 and 2020.
Method:
A time-series ecological study was conducted, analyzing the total neonatal mortality rate and its early and late components. For regression analysis, Joinpoint Regression was applied, trends were classified, and annual and average percentage changes were calculated for the period, with a significance level of 95%.
Results:
The average neonatal mortality rate in Pernambuco was 11.5 during the studied period. A decreasing trend in neonatal mortality rate was observed, especially in the early component. The region where the state capital is located showed the fastest decrease across all components.
Conclusion:
The temporal trend of neonatal mortality was decreasing; however, the rate of reduction was not uniform across the health regions of the state, and the implementation of the Mãe Coruja Pernambucana Program did not impact the trend in neonatal mortality.

Results:
three categories were developed: Adverse events in nursing care; The main causes of the adverse events in nursing care; Attitude of nursing professionals in face of errors. The main events were identified in nursing care with emphasis on the medication error, the failure to perform dressings and falls of patients. The importance of instruments was emphasized for notification of adverse events in the institutions. However the fear of punishment on professionals stimulates the underreporting of events.
Conclusion:
it is important to discuss effective prevention strategies that ensure patient safety in healthcare institutions.
