Objectives:
to assess the association between risk of violence and frailty syndrome among hospitalized older adults.
Methods:
quantitative, analytical and cross-sectional research, carried out with older adults in two university hospitals. Data collection was performed using the Brazil Old Age Schedule, Hwalek-Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test and Edmonton Frail Scale instruments. It was analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.
Results:
risk of violence was higher among women (68.9%), over 70 years old (64.7%), with more than 3 years of study (68.9%), without relationship (67.1%), who do not work (65.1%) and with income above 1 minimum wage (65.2%). There is a significant association between risk of violence and frailty (72.3%; p<0.001) and a positive correlation between the instrument scores (r=0.350; p-value<0.001).
Conclusions:
risk of violence was associated with being female and frailty. The study is expected to encourage further discussions related to the theme and nursing practice.

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.
