Objective:
To evaluate epidemiological aspects of urinary tract infection in older patients with urinary incontinence living in long-term care institutions in Belo Horizonte. Method: Concurrent cohort held from April 1st to October 1st, 2015. The study was conducted in two long-term care institutions in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, with 84 incontinent older people.
Results:
Cumulative incidence of urinary tract infection was 19% (95% CI: 7.83-23.19) and the incidence density was 3.6 cases/100 people-month of follow-up period. The variables Bacteriuria and Institution presented statistical association with the occurrence of urinary tract infection.
Conclusion:
It is observed that the incidence of urinary tract infection in the study was smaller than in other similar international and national studies, however this is an important world health problem for the older population, with impact on mortality of these individuals.

Objective:
To know the ways and means of comfort perceived by the older adults hospitalized in a medical service.
Method:
Ethnographic study with a qualitative approach. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 22 older adults and participant observation of care situations.
Results:
The ways and means of providing comfort are centered on strategies for promoting care mobilized by nurses and recognized by patients(clarifying/informing, positive interaction/communication, music therapy, touch, smile, unconditional presence, empathy/proximity relationship, integrating the older adult or the family as partner in the care, relief of discomfort through massage/mobilization/therapy) and on particular moments of comfort (the first contact, the moment of personal hygiene, and the visit of the family), which constitute the foundation of care/comfort.
Final considerations:
Geriatric care is built on the relationship that is established and complete with meaning, and is based on the meeting/interaction between the actors under the influence of the context in which they are inserted. The different ways and means of providing comfort aim to facilitate/increase care, relieve discomfort and/or invest in potential comfort.

Method:
Descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study. Forty elderly caregivers were evaluated with: questionnaire for caregiver characterization, Mini Mental State Examination, Katz Index, Lawton instrumental activities of daily living scale, Geriatric Depression Scale and the frailty phenotype proposed by Fried. Interviews were conducted at their residences and scheduled in advance. All ethical precautions were observed. Data were analyzed with the Stata statistical program version 11.0.
Results:
10% of elderly caregivers were frail. There was a significant correlation between frailty and sex, instrumental activities of daily living and cognition.
Conclusion:
Female caregivers, partially dependent individuals regarding instrumental activities of daily living and with worse cognitive state deserve a special attention from health services.

Objective:
to identify the social representations of older adults regarding quality of life, and to analyze the care practices adopted to promote it.
Method:
qualitative, exploratory, descriptive research, applying the Theory of Social Representations. Thirty older people from a Health Academy of Rio de Janeiro participated in the study. The software Alceste was used, and lexical analysis of data was performed.
Results:
social representations of quality of life are based on the social determinants of health; they evidence knowledge and practices of care by valuing physical activities. The practices promoting quality of life comprise healthy eating habits, daily physical exercise, social participation, interaction and socialization, accomplishment of leisure activities and daily tasks with independence and autonomy, and support and family contact.
Final considerations:
the elderly have a global understanding of the concept of quality of life, coordinate knowledge built in daily life and knowledge coming from the technical-professional field, which evidences the multidimensionality of the concept.

Objective:
To assess the development and implementation of permanent education action.
Method:
Quantitative-qualitative research based on action research in three phases (diagnosis of reality, implementation of activity and evaluation), performed with health professionals and managers of basic health units. The evaluation was on the perception of changes immediately following the activity and after 120 days.
Results:
In the first phase, 110 professionals took part, 36.4% of whom indicated the existence of groups for older adults at work. In the second phase, 98 professionals participated, pointing out interferences of the group in the life of older adults, items of importance and facilitation in forming groups and developing reality-based activities. The third phase showed, in the quantitative analysis, positive impact of the training, and in the qualitative analysis, reassessment of groups, greater knowledge and confidence in managing groups and increased respect for older adults.
Final considerations:
Permanent education opens pathways for the construction of differentiated care for older adults based on respect and health promotion.

Objective:
To identify the needs of caregivers of dependent older people related to self-care in the transition from hospital to home.
Methods:
Integrative literature review that followed a predefined protocol, carried out from March to May 2019 in the platforms EBSCO, B-On, Scopus, Web of Science, and Joanna Briggs Institute. Descriptors and eligibility criteria were defined for the bibliographic sample, which was ten articles. The search was limited to articles published between 2015 and 2019 to guarantee evidence topicality.
Results:
The needs of caregivers related to transitional care can be grouped into five categories: needs in the transition into the role of caregiver; needs related to self-care of caregivers themselves; health needs; economic needs; and social and collective needs.
Final considerations:
The work developed by nurses regarding transitional care of caregivers must have two focuses: managing care provided to dependent older people and managing the needs of caregivers and the care offered to them.

Objective:
Evaluate the contribution of debriefing after clinical simulations for nursing students.
Method:
Quantitative study, conducted with 35 nursing students who participated in five clinical simulation scenarios with planned debriefings based on the model of the National League Nursing/Jeffries Simulation Theory. After the fifth scenario, students answered the Debriefing Evaluation Scale associated with the Simulation.
Results:
The items evaluated involved the psychosocial, cognitive, and affective values, and within a scale from one to five, the highest mean was found in cognitive value with 4.23 (±0.56) points, then in psychosocial value with 3.77 (±0.53), and finally in affective value with 3.71 (±0.63) points.
Conclusion:
The debriefing conducted after the clinical simulation scenarios was a reflective exercise that contributed to the student integrating multiple knowledges in affective, cognitive and psychosocial values, and thus develop the competencies required.
