Objectives:
to know the meaning of the role of nurses in the hospital environment.
Methods:
this is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, whose setting was a university hospital in Minas Gerais with 50 nurses. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed according to content analysis, with the contribution of the Interface software from R pour les Analyzes Multidimensionalnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires.
Results:
three categories emerged: “Nurses’ daily work in the hospital environment”; “Work motivation as an influential factor in the meaning of work”; “The two faces of the meaning of work: pleasure and suffering”. Nurses attributed a positive meaning to their work.
Final Considerations:
three dimensions of the meaning of work were highlighted: individual, organizational and social. These influenced the professional, social, working and individual life of nurses.

Objective:
to describe the social representations of patients with vasculogenic ulcers about quality of life and analyze such representations from the social context of patients’ insertion in relation to the healthcare service.
Method:
a qualitative research, based on social representations, developed in a Family Clinic in Rio de Janeiro with 30 patients with vasculogenic ulcers for over 90 days. Data were produced through interviews and submitted to lexicographical analysis using the Alceste software.
Results:
the weaknesses of care in the healthcare service to which patients were linked contributed to exacerbate the reconfiguration of daily life that the occurrence of ulcers implies, due to the presence of pain and physical restrictions, influencing the representation of quality of life.
Final considerations:
the representation was objectified as a counterpoint to the image of “being happy”, and actions expressed proactivity in the search for a cure or passivity due to lack of clinical results.

Objective:
To analyze caregivers’ knowledge about prevention of domestic accidents in early childhood and its association with education level.
Methods:
This is a cross-sectional study conducted in a Primary Care Unit in Niterói with caregivers (convenience sample) of children under 6 years old. To classify the knowledge, we adopted the Positivity Index; to verify the association between the variable “schooling” and knowledge, the chi square test was used; statistically significant results: p < 0.05.
Results:
A total of 256 caregivers participated; 93.5% showed adequate knowledge. In the individual items, the knowledge (100%) about prevention of accidents with sharp toys, firearms, intoxication by products stood out; and less frequently (64.5%), the knowledge of the information contained in the Child’s Health Booklet. There was no statistically significant association (p = 0.237) between education and knowledge. Conclusion: The caregivers presented knowledge about the prevention of domestic accidents, and this was not associated with the level of education.

Objectives:
to analyze the concept of “interruption in the work of nursing professionals”.
Methods:
conceptual study according to the method proposed by Walker and Avant through integrative literature review. The study searched the databases using the descriptors: “Attention”, “Attention Bias”, “Health Personnel”, “Nurses”, “Patient Safety” and “Medical Malpractices”. The sample consisted of 36 studies.
Results:
the antecedents were alarms, answering phone calls, providing patient care, and lack of material/medicine. The defining attributes were pause, suspension, breakage, and intrusion. In relation to the consequences, the study highlighted the increase in frequency and severity of medication errors and change of focus.
Final Considerations:
theconceptual analysis identified the attributes, antecedents, and consequences and allowed to build an operational definition for “interruption in the work of nursing professionals”. It will contribute to the improvement of the work process and the creation of strategies that ensure safer care for the patient.

Objectives:
to analyze the reasons and motives that initiates the decision to choose a cesarean section, by describing the plots, power relationships, struggles, and systems of truths regarding this method of childbirth.
Methods:
a qualitative study, inserted into a poststructuralist perspective, and conducted in a city in southern Rio Grande do Sul state. The settings were a teaching hospital and home residences. Thirteen postpartum women who had a cesarean section participated. The analysis consisted of questions based on the information produced and articulated with Foucauldian theories.
Results:
two categories were developed: “I wanted a vaginal delivery, but it was a cesarean section”, and, “Are you sure you want a vaginal delivery: paths and detours in the choice of cesarean section”.
Final Considerations:
the study allowed us to identify problems in the choice for a cesarean section, which is associated with the circulation of “truths” that occur via discourses on society.

Methods:
qualitative research supported by the theoretical framework of Marxist dialectics. Threerepresentatives of professional organizations and five student leaders participated in the study. Datawere obtained from individual interviews and submitted to Critical Discourse Analysis.
Results:
thediscourses are marked by commitment, relational identification and characterize the position of obligation and necessity of nursing in acting with the individuals in situations of inequality, indicating accountability as a social practice. Among the competencies necessary for nursing in confronting social inequalities, political competence is central and is associated with health advocacy.
Final Considerations:

Objectives:
to present the concept of Knowledge Translation and Exchange as it has been used in the international literature and in Canada, particularly. Next, to describe a renowned conceptual model to guide its implementation, entitled Knowledge-to-Action Cycle.
Results:
we described the use of the model in the context of the municipal primary health care system in southern Brazil for the implementation of pain management strategies during vaccination.
Conclusions:
in this theoretical reflection, we argue that in order to promote health equity and quality of care in the Unified Health System (Brazilian SUS) it is important to translate scientific knowledge to various practice settings and create opportunities for exchange with users of this knowledge, such as health professionals, managers, policy makers, patients, family members and other stakeholders.
