    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to analyze the scientific production on “breast cancer” in the period from 2002 to 2013 and determine the public policies for screening and early diagnosis of breast cancer.

    Method:

    this is an integrative literature review conducted in the databases MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria: year and period of publication; availability of the full article; publication in Brazil; and the cross-check of the keywords Breast Cancer, Primary Health Care, Screening Programs, and Early Detection of Cancer.

    Results:

    after analysis, four thematic categories were obtained: breast self-examination, clinical examination of breast, mammography, and factors that hinder the adherence to the screening.

    Conclusion:

    health professionals have deficits of knowledge on the area, indicating the need for other studies on the subject addressed and greater investment in continuing education of professionals.

    ABSTRACT

    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 in the literature evidence of the effectiveness and efficacy of educational interventions in reducing metabolic and/or vascular complications in adults with diabetes mellitus.

    Method:

    A systematic review performed in LILACS, IBECS, CUMED, CINAHL and Medline databases and in the online library SciELO with studies published from 2004 to 2014.

    Results:

    Eleven studies were included (5 randomized clinical trials and 6 quasi-experimental). We only identified studies that analyzed vascular complications.

    Conclusion:

    Two clinical trials demonstrated efficacy in reducing cardiovascular complications, of cataract or retinopathy and nephropathy and all the quasi-experimental studies showed effectiveness in reducing feet ulcers, peripheral neuropathy and vasculopathy, and maintenance of kidney function.

    ABSTRACT

    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.

Of all participants, 12.0% underwent an invasive strategy in 24h and 50.0% in 72h. Door-to-ECG time was 68.3±104.3 min and door-to-balloon time, 122±54.5 min.

    Conclusions:

    health care protocols are required to standardize practice and improve these indicators.

    ABSTRACT

    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.

Descriptive and univariate analyzes were conducted.

    Results:

    patients classified as red are 10.7 times more likely to have scores above 14 in TISS-28 in relation to others. Patients classified as red have 5.9 times more chance of progression to death compared to others. Patients of high priority service are 1.5 times more likely to be hospitalized over five days than low priority.

    Conclusions:

    STM proved a good predictor of clinical outcomes.
