Objective:
to verify the nursing diagnoses in patients affected by CVAs.
Method:
this is an integrative review of the literature. The search was conducted on LILACS, Scielo, Medline, CINAHL, and Scopus databases between February and March 2015, using the following keywords: “Enfermagem”, “Acidente Vascular Cerebral”, “Diagnóstico de Enfermagem”; and “Nursing”, “Stroke”, and “Nursing Diagnosis”.
Results:
we found 9 articles published between 2009 and 2015; most of them were Brazilian, cross-sectional, and exploratory, with a level of evidence of 6. The evidence from the publications was classified as: “Evaluation and validation of specific nursing diagnoses for subjects affected by CVAs” and “Application of the nursing process on subjects affected by CVAs”.
Conclusion:
we noticed the publications focused on nursing diagnoses related to motor disorders, such as risk of falls and impaired physical mobility. Domains regarding safety/protection (domain 11) and sleep/resting (domain 4) were present in most evaluated publications.

Objective:
to identify scientific evidence about the communication process in Telenursing and analyze them.
Method:
integrative review performed in March 2014. The search strategy, structured with the descriptors “telenursing” and “communication”, was implemented in the databases Medline, Bireme, Cinahl, Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo, and Cochrane.
Results:
ten studies were selected after inclusion and exclusion criteria. The main challenges were: the clinical condition of patients, the possibility for inadequate communication to cause misconduct, the absence of visual references in interactions without video, and difficulty understanding nonverbal communication.
Conclusion:
distance imposes communicative barriers in all elements: sender, recipient and message; and in both ways of transmission, verbal and nonverbal. The main difficulty is to understand nonverbal communication. To properly behave in this context, nurses must receive specific training to develop abilities and communication skills.

Objective:
to investigate stressors perceived by patients in the immediate postoperative of cardiac surgery and their association with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
Method:
a prospective correlational study conducted in a city in São Paulo, between August 2013 and December 2014. A non-probabilistic sample included patients submitted to their first coronary artery bypass graft or mitral valve surgery. The “Environmental Stressor Questionnaire” adapted to Portuguese was used.
Results:
105 patients participated in the study. The item “being thirsty” was evaluated as the most stressful and “the nursing staff member does not introduce himself/herself by the name” as the least stressful. Among sociodemographic and clinical variables (gender, age, type and time of surgery, pain, intubation time, use of psychotropic medications and length of stay in the intensive care unit), only pain presented a significant association with the stressors.
Conclusion:
knowing stressors can help implement practices associated with their reduction, favoring patients’ recovery.

Objectives:
to analyze urinary incontinence prevalence and severity in prostatectomized men assessed by three different instruments.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study was conducted with 152 men. The pad test, pad used, and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire – Short Form (self-report) were considered. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation, Kappa index, considering a significance level of 0.05.
Results:
urinary incontinence prevalence was 41.4%, 46.7% and 80.3% according to pad used, pad test and self-report. Positive correlations and moderate to poor agreement were found between the instruments. As for severity, most participants had mild incontinence. The largest number of cases of mild and severe incontinence was identified by self-report.
Conclusions:
the self-report showed higher values for prevalence of mild and severe severity levels. Through the identified differences, we propose that the objective assessment (pad used and pad test) be associated with individuals’ perception (self-report) to better estimate prevalence and severity.

To analyze the strategies, challenges and possibilities of the articulation between mental health and primary health care from the perspective of health managers.
Method:
Exploratory, qualitative research carried out with 28 managers of mental health and primary care. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews between July and November 2013 and submitted to thematic content analysis.
Results:
The inclusion of mental health actions in primary care made it possible, in the view of managers, to increase users’ access to the care they need. This care strategy allows the extension of care practices in the territory, with matrix support as the main tool for the implementation of this care strategy.
Final considerations:
The articulation between primary care and mental health is a powerful device for psychosocial care, but it demands a new conformation of the Psychosocial Care Centers (Caps) and primary care services.
