Objective:
To analyze the care provided by Basic Health Units (BHU) to families involved in domestic intrafamily violence against children and adolescents.
Method:
Qualitative research, based on the Paradigm of Complexity. Data collection was performed with 41 professionals through focus groups and semi-structured interviews.
Results:
The following categories emerged from data analysis: ‘Everything comes here’, which reflects the legitimate place of BHUs for the population and the actions taken to build care for families; and ‘We only do what is really necessary’, which brings the look to violence still based on the positivist and biomedical paradigm.
Final considerations:
The model of understanding and construction of work processes in the BHU is structured in the aforementioned paradigm. Nurses have the possibility to become agents of change, both in professionals’ training and in the care thought and provided to communities.

Objective:
to understand the role of the nurse in the collegiate management model of a teaching hospital, in the integrality of care perspective.
Method:
a single case study with multiple units of analysis, with the theoretical proposition “integrality of care is a result of the care offered to the user by multiple professionals, including the nurse”. Data were obtained in a functional unit of a teaching hospital through interviews with 13 nurses in a non-participant observation and document analysis.
Results:
from the analytical categories emerged subcategories that allowed understanding that the nurse promotes integrality of care through nursing management, team work and integration of services.
Final considerations:
the theoretical proposition was confirmed and it was verified that the nursing management focus on attending to health care needs and is a strategy to provide integrality of care.

Objective:
to assess predictive factors for noncompletion of the hepatitis B vaccination schedule in female sex workers in the city of Teresina, Northeastern Brazil.
Method:
402 women were interviewed and, for those who did not wish to visit specialized sites, or did not know their hepatitis B vaccination status, the vaccine was offered at their workplaces. Bi- and multivariate analyses were performed to identify potential predictors for noncompletion of the vaccination schedule.
Results:
of the 284 women eligible for vaccination, 258 (90.8%) received the second dose, 157/258 (60.8%) and 68/258 (26.3%) received the second and third doses, respectively. Working at clubs and consuming illicit drugs were predictors for noncompletion of the vaccination schedule.
Conclusion:
the high acceptability of the vaccine’s first dose, associated with low completion rates of the vaccination schedule in sex workers, shows the need for more persuasive strategies that go beyond offering the vaccine at their workplaces.

Cost of nursing most frequent procedures performed on severely burned patients
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2017;70(3):481-488
DOI 10.1590/0034-7167-2015-0034
Views0See moreABSTRACT
Objective:
to identify the mean direct cost (MDC) of the most frequent procedures performed by nursing professionals on severely burned patients in an Intensive Care Unit.
Method:
exploratory-descriptive quantitative single-case study. The MDC was calculated by multiplying time (timed) spent by nursing professionals in the performance of the procedures by the unit cost of direct labor, and adding the costs of material and medicine/solutions.
Results:
a MDC of US$ 0.65 (SD=0.36) was obtained for “vital signs monitoring”; US$ 10.00 (SD=24.23) for “intravenous drug administration”; US$ 5.90 (SD=2.75) for “measurement of diuresis”; US$ 0.93 (SD=0.42) for “capillary blood glucose monitoring”; and US$ 99.75 (SD=129.55) for “bandaging”.
Conclusion:
the knowledge developed can support managerial decision-making, contribute to the efficiency distribution of the resources involved and, when possible, provide cost-containment or cost-minimization strategies without impairing the quality of nursing care.

Objective:
to learn the meanings attributed to pregnancy loss by women with Lupus.
Method:
qualitative research, based on Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory. Data collection took place between January and August 2022 through in-depth interviews. Data analysis went through the stages of initial and focused coding.
Results:
seventeen women participated. The central phenomenon “The climb to motherhood: falls and overcoming” was constructed, consisting of three categories: “Falling to the ground during the climb: the experience of pregnancy loss”; “Getting up and following the path: new attempts to conceive”; and “Remembering the journey: meanings attributed to pregnancy losses”.
Final considerations:
experiencing pregnancy is, analogously, like climbing a mountain, where obstacles need to be overcome to reach the summit. The experience of pregnancy loss is seen as complex, especially when there is fragility in healthcare and a lack of awareness regarding feelings of loss and grief.

Consistencia interna para escala completa (α=0,779), dimensión “síntomas de la enfermedad” (α=0,671), dimensión “efectos secundarios de los tratamientos” (α=0,538) y dimensión “perspectiva de futuro” (α=0,670). Se comprobaron cuatro de las cinco hipótesis de la validez de constructo: presentaron más síntomas las mujeres, personas con peor performance estatus, con dolor y con peor fatiga.
Conclusiones:
La versión chilena del QLQ-MY20 presenta adecuada consistencia interna y validez de constructo.

Objectives:
To evaluate the internal consistency and construct validity of the QLQ-MY20 for assessing the quality of life in multiple myeloma survivors in Chile.
Methods:
This was a cross-sectional study conducted between March 2020 and December 2022. It involved 118 individuals from two public hospitals. The QLQ-C30 and QLQ-MY20 questionnaires were used. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha(α), and construct validity was evaluated through hypothesis testing (Mann-Whitney and Spearman correlation).
Results:
The average age of participants was 67.2 years (SD=9.2). Internal consistency for the complete scale was α=0.779, for the “disease symptoms” dimension α=0.671, for the “side effects of treatments” dimension α=0.538, and for the “future perspective” dimension α=0.670. Four of the five construct validity hypotheses were confirmed: women, individuals with worse performance status, those with pain, and those with worse fatigue showed more symptoms.
Conclusions:
The Chilean version of the QLQ-MY20 demonstrates adequate internal consistency and construct validity.
