Objective:
to identify the severity of patients admitted to an emergency trauma.
Method:
A cross-sectional and retrospective study with 115 trauma patients classified as orange (Manchester System), from June 2013 to July 2014. The data were presented as mean and standard deviation, in addition to the Pearson Chi-square test, One-Way ANOVA and Tukey tests.
Results:
from the sample, 81.7% were male with mean age of 39.46±19.71 years. Higher incidence of major trauma (48.7%) and traumatic brain injury (37.4%). At the end of the outcome and MEWS, most cases that had score 1 to 3 were referred to the operating room and the ICU.
Conclusion:
the start point of MEWS was 2 to 3 points, with significant increase in the severity of the situation of patients seen after 6 hours, and approximately half of the individuals underwent surgery, indicating that the scale is a good predictor of severity.

RESEARCHOccupational health nurses: interdisciplinary experience in occupational health
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(5):897-905
DOI 10.1590/0034-7167-2015-0113
Views0ABSTRACT
Objective:
to analyze the relationship of occupational health nurses with the other members of the Specialized Service in Safety Engineering and Occupational Medicine (SESMT) and characterize joint actions of these professionals in occupational health.
Method:
qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study with 34 professionals of seven companies from the South Macroregion of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Interviews and observations were conducted for content analysis of Bardin.
Results:
the SESMTs are multidisciplinary and intersectoral workers. Nurses have working relations of an interpersonal, technical/legal, and management of logistics/organizational nature, influenced by the technical division of work and by the division in the work environment of the staff, which distances areas, generates conflicts, and fragments the actions of the service.
Conclusion:
SESMT faces challenges to develop a work befitting their legal objectives, once staff and companies need to understand the importance of interdisciplinarity for the success of actions on the workers’ health and safety.

Objective:
to describe the process of adaptation and validation of the Nursing Activities Score to the Portuguese context.
Method:
this was a pilot study of adaptation and validation of the Nursing Activities Score with a sample consisting of 67 patients hospitalized in the intensive care units of three Portuguese hospitals. The construct validity was assessed through factor analysis procedures and the internal consistency of the items was measured through the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient.
Results:
a mean workload value of 63.04% (SD = 14.25; Median = 61.30) was obtained. Psychometric data revealed a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.71 in the total scale, indicating an acceptable accuracy. Confirmatory factor analysis suggested an appropriate adjustment between the model and the data (χ2(199) = 214.5, p = 0.214; CFI = 0.95; RMSA = 0.035).
Conclusion:
in the present study, the Portuguese version of the Nursing Activities Score was found to be a valid instrument, enabling a safe assessment of the workload of nurses.

Objective:
to conduct the clinical validation of nursing diagnosis “Willingness for improved infant development”.
Method:
a cross-sectional study, conducted in a Centro de Saúde da Família (Family Health Care center), with 45 healthy breastfed infants. The instrument for collecting the data was prepared based on the literature and validated by nurses. It contained the following variables: sociodemographic, gestational, and obstetrical variables; breastfed infant’s nutritional profile; evaluation of the defining characteristics of the proposed nursing diagnosis.
Results:
all the defining characteristics were found to have high sensitivity values (>90%), positive predictive values (>65%), negative predictive values (>66%); however, low specificity values (<32%). In this study, the defining characteristics we found to have estimates (>0.50) within the ROC curve, which provides good sensitivity and specificity.
Conclusion:
this study verified the structural elements of the proposed nursing diagnosis to be relevant in the clinical context, which justifies the need for its being employed with children, taking into account its contribution to improving nursing care.

Objective:
to describe the profile of standardized oral drugs at a hospital unit and assess their adequacy for use via enteral feeding tubes, according to recommendations from the literature.
Method:
descriptive study, with data on drugs collected from the Pharmacy Service Dispensing System. Specific recommendations for the use of these drugs via enteral feeding tubes were found after searches in literary databases, books, manuals, guidelines and package insert collections.
Results:
among the 236 dispensed oral drugs, 86% were in solid form; of those, 32 were “non-crushable”, with the liquid form available at the institution. Twenty-eight drugs with potential interactions with enteral nutrition were identified. Sixty percent of those presented specific recommendations on their administration via enteral feeding tube.
Conclusion:
the joint participation of multidisciplinary nutritional therapy and care teams and the implementation of programs for continuous training are suggested strategies for the prevention of potential problems in the administration of drugs in the hospital setting.

Objectives:
to identify scientific evidence regarding nursing care for parents who have experienced grief following fetal demise.
Methods:
an integrative review of original studies was conducted across six databases. The studies were classified according to the level of evidence.
Results:
the qualitative analysis of the nine studies comprising the sample involved thematic categories, exploring the impact of perinatal loss on families, inadequate communication by healthcare professionals, and the importance of a holistic approach in care. The role of the nurse is highlighted in making a positive contribution to the team, emphasizing participation in training and the provision of essential information.
Final Considerations:
grieving affects not only family dynamics but also the social environment, emphasizing the urgency of a more empathetic and comprehensive approach. Care should be holistic, going beyond technical nursing assistance, and addressing the biopsychosocial context of the parents.

A total of 19 semi-structured interviews were conducted with the drug addicts’ family members in treatment. The results were analyzed based on the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change and organized in thematic categories according with qualitative data analysis.
Results:
the search for treatment for drug addicts occurred: in the pre-contemplation stage infl uenced by external factors; in the contemplation stage both for ambivalence and behavioral changes needs; in the action stage by awareness of drug addiction and also professional help needs; and in the maintenance stage because of the non-conservation of behavioral changes.
Conclusion:
an evaluation of motivational stages in the beginning of treatment is required for expansion of success possibilities in the rehabilitation process.
