    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to monitor bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus that are resistant or not to oxacillin in nursing undergraduate students, with an emphasis on the process of colonization.

    Method:

    cross-sectional prevalence study carried out with 138 nursing students. The biological samples of the nasal cavity were collected in June 2015, by means of sterile swabs, which were subsequently submitted to confirmatory tests of catalase and coagulase. Isolated Staphylococcus aureus had their sensitivity profile determined by means of the Kirby Bauer method. Descriptive, univariate and bivariate analyses were performed.

    Results:

    the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus was 21.7. Regarding the resistance profile, 24.1% of strains were resistant to oxacillin, with ampicillin being the antimicrobial with the greatest resistance (82.8%).

    Conclusion:

    the nasal cavity is an important bacterial flora of S. aureus in nursing students. The profile of isolated strains highlights the increase of Staphylococcus aureus resistance to antimicrobials such as oxacillin.

    Factors associated with the occurrence of adverse events in critical elderly patients

    Abstract

    Factors associated with the occurrence of adverse events in critical elderly patients

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(6):1039-1045

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to identify the factors associated with the occurrence of adverse events in critical elderly patients admitted to intensive care unit according to demographic and clinical characteristics.

    Method:

    a retrospective cohort study was conducted in nine units of a teaching hospital. Data were collected from medical records and from monitoring of nursing shift change. We used the t-test/Mann-Whitney, chi-square and logistic regression to test associations. Significance level of 5% was used.

    Results:

    out of the 315 elderly, 94 experienced events. Those who experienced events were men (60.6%) with mean age of 70.7 years, length of hospital stay of 10.6 days and survivors (61.7%). Most of the 183 events were clinical processes and procedures (37.1%). There was an association between adverse event and length of hospital stay in the unit (p=0.000; OR=1.10, 95% CI [1.06, 1.14]).

    Conclusion:

    the identification of associated events and factors in the elderly subsidize the prevention of these occurrences before the vulnerability of this age group.

    Challenges to implementation of advance directives of will in hospital practice

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(6):1031-1038

    Abstract

    Challenges to implementation of advance directives of will in hospital practice

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(6):1031-1038

    DOI 10.1590/0034-7167-2016-0085

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to understand the difficulties and limitations in the implementation of advance directives of will in the hospital context.

    Method:

    qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study conducted by means of semi-structured interviews with nurses, resident physicians and family caregivers. The data were analyzed by using discursive textual analysis based on the framework of bioethics principles.

    Results:

    the following categories emerged: Terminality as an expression of loss and cure as an option for care; concerns about legal implications; advance directives of will demand patient autonomy and proper communication.

    Conclusion:

    limitations and difficulties in practice of advance directives of will from the perspective of the participants show, apart from countless conflicts and dilemmas regarding end-of life matters, that impending death experiences obstruct patients’ wishes.

    Experience and coping strategies in relatives of addicts

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to understand the experience and coping strategies in relatives of drug addicts.

    Method:

    a study was developed with 87 relatives of addicts, registered in two Basic Health Units. The focus group was used as the study method, and content analysis was applied.

    Results:

    four categories were chosen: perception of relatives about the drug addiction of their family members; feelings and attitudes related to being a relative of an addict; difficulties found in the process; and, coping strategies. The findings reflected the difficulty when mentioning the subject, and the need of being cared for. Relatives believed that the addict needs to have the will to get into treatment, and they faced challenges in dealing with sporadic disappearances. They pointed to feelings of pity, impotence, disgust, hate, shame, fear of aggressiveness, and humiliation.

    Conclusion:

    the biggest difficulties were dealing with relapses, and the lack of public resources. Religiosity and faith, isolation and advice were used as coping strategies; ambivalence in thoughts and attitudes was demonstrated.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    analyse the evolution in the mission and vision of a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre in Nursing in Brazil in the context of the implementation of its terms of reference.

    Method:

    Historical-social documentary research with a qualitative approach.

    Results:

    During the 25 years of its activities as a Collaborating Centre, its mission to “promote and stimulate the development of nursing research in the region, with a focus on Latin America” triggered activities in the context of its terms of reference in four areas: Human Resource Formation for Research, Knowledge Production, Knowledge Dissemination, Encouragement of Exchange and Stimulus of Partnerships.

    Conclusion:

    The activities developed were consolidated through the strengthening of Brazilian and international partnerships, further stimulated by the five redesignations of the Collaborating Centre in the period analysed. Thus, its vision of becoming leader and driving agent of innovations in the academic, care and political context of nursing could be put in practice.
