Objective:
to analyze the use of quality of life assessment (QOL) as a strategy to evaluate the work with health promotion groups in the community.
Method:
cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study. Participants of two elderly groups (n=46) were individually interviewed to fill the sociodemographic instruments, WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD.
Results:
the participants were women with up to 79 years, who did not live with a partner, with up to four years of study, retired, with individual income of up to a minimum salary. The mean scores on the WHOQOL-BREF were higher on “Social Relations” and lower in the “Environment”. For the WHOQOL-OLD, the highest scores were achieved in facets “Social Participation” (G1) and “Past, Present and Future Activities” (G2), while “Death and Dying” facet obtained lower scores in both groups.
Conclusion:
the assessment of QOL appears to be useful in helping to identify the coordination aspects of life of elderly people that need to be better developed in groups.

Objective:
to characterize the profile and identify the activities developed by nurses from the Mobile Emergency Care Service of a state of southern Brazil.
Method:
an exploratory, descriptive study. Data were collected through a questionnaire with 63 nurses.
Results:
the profile showed a workforce predominantly female, young and having specialized training. The activities were organized in the dimensions of caring, managing and educating, verifying the predominance of the first one. Care actions involved multiple procedures, but the use of the Systematization of Nursing Care (SNC) was not mentioned in the development of care activities. Then, the managerial dimension with a predominance of bureaucratic activities was emphasized. Educational activities were less prominent.
Conclusion:
care actions are the focus of the activities of nurses, predominantly the prescribed institutional care without the use of instruments such as SNC that could contribute to the greater visibility of their professional work.

Objective:
Correlate the cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and its spatial patterns with the type of notification and sociodemographic variables.
Method:
Ecological study carried out in the municipality of Belém, with 77 cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis registered in the Special Treatment Information System for Tuberculosis, between 2012 and 2016. For analysis, the data was debugged followed by geo-referencing in ArcGis 10.3 and Terra View 4.2.2. To relate the cases with the type of notification, the BioEstat 5.4 software was used, with a significance level of 95%.
Results:
Of the total, 40 (52%) were new cases; 27 (35%), relapses; and ten (13%) were re-enrolled after leaving. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was randomly distributed and related to income, household, territorial cluster and water supply. There was a concentration of cases in two administrative districts, corresponding to 28.5% and 27.3% of the total, with a median Sociodemographic Index.
Conclusion:
Behavior of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis influenced by sociodemographic indicators.

Objectives:
to analyze the concept of cardiovascular risk to support nursing practice.
Methods:
this is an analysis to define the concept of cardiovascular risk, through the use of eight steps of Walker’s and Avant’s framework, using a literature review in indexed scientific journals.
Results:
cardiovascular risk is defined in a broad and original way as a context of health and nursing care that makes it possible to identify modifiable (cardiometabolic, behavioral, psychosocial, cultural and occupational) and non-modifiable (biological) risk factors for cardiovascular diseases that act as early and interrelated markers, of multiple and heterogeneous etiology, predisposing to cardiovascular vulnerability.
Conclusions:
with the analysis and definition of the concept of cardiovascular risk, we realized that it will be possible to base nursing practice, with implications in clinical practice for identifying and reducing risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, with nursing relevance in the care of these subjects.

Objective:
To present the limitations of the nursing care for women with fetal death, reflecting on this challenge for care practices.
Method:
Reflective study with theoretical focus on national and international publications, along with the experience of the authors in the area of women’s health and obstetrics.
Results:
There are limitations related to nursing care, which involve feelings of insecurity and powerlessness, inappropriate attitudes of these professionals in front of women, difficulties to manage emotional aspects, and structural problems of health services.
Final Considerations:
This study points out that there are challenges to qualify nursing care for women with fetal death, which included academic studies and continuing education in health services. Relational aspects should be valued and demand more sensitivity from nurses, with more empathic relationships in the care for women with fetal death.

Objective:
to measure the organizational climate in the work of professionals from Family Health Strategy (FHS) teams.
Method:
a cross-sectional study carried out with 458 professionals belonging to 72 FHS teams in a municipality in Southern Brazil. Data collection occurred between March and July of 2016 with self-application of the Team Climate Inventory (TCI). Data were analyzed by means of a non-parametric ANOVA.
Results:
“Team Participation” was the best-rated domain (8.11), while “Task orientation” was the worst (7.51). Nurses obtained the highest mean in TCI (8.05), and dentists, the lowest (7.45).
Conclusion:
TCI is an appropriate and innovative tool for assessing the teamwork climate at the FHS. Identifying fragilities such as “task orientation” and relationships among professional categories of the team supports the planning of actions for organizational climate improvements and teamwork at the FHS.
