Objetivo:
analizar la duración y calidad del sueño en profesionales de enfermería que trabajan por turnos.
Método:
investigación analítica, transversal, realizada entre septiembre de 2017 y abril de 2018, en un hospital público del sur de Brasil, con el equipo de enfermería. Se utilizó el cuestionario sociolaboral y de síntomas de salud, la Escala de Somnolencia de Epworth y el Índice de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh. Los datos se presentan como estadística descriptiva e inferencial, análisis bivariado y regresión logística binaria.
Resultados:
participaron 308 profesionales de enfermería, con predominio de sueño prolongado, ausencia de somnolencia y mala calidad del sueño. La duración corta del sueño (<6 h) se asoció con turnos de día y mala calidad del sueño. La calidad del sueño se asoció con la presencia de somnolencia diurna excesiva y con el trabajo diurno.
Conclusión:
los turnos de trabajo, el insomnio y la cefalea fueron los principales factores relacionados con la falta de sueño de los profesionales de enfermería. Los resultados pueden justificar el desarrollo de investigaciones de intervención para la salud de los trabajadores.

Objective:
The aim of this study is to cross-culturally adapt the Lymphoedema Functioning, Disability and Health Questionnaire Lymphoedema (LYMPH-ICF) instrument into Brazilian Portuguese and conduct a pilot application (n = 10), without psychometric pretensions.
Method:
Methodological research was conducted, following the steps of translation, synthesis, back-translation, and evaluation by the expert committee. Two translators, two back-translators, and twelve professionals participated in the expert committee. A pretest was carried out with 10 patients with secondary lymphedema due to breast cancer. The degree of agreement was determined by the content validity coefficient.
Results:
It was necessary to modify 8 out of the 29 questions comprising the questionnaire, which exhibited idiomatic disagreement. However, despite these changes, there were no indications of impairments, as content reliability was achieved through a validity coefficient of 0.90.
Final Considerations:
The instrument was successfully translated and cross-culturally adapted for Brazil with a high level of agreement.

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 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.

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.
