Objective:
to describe the profile of 200 patients with central nervous system tumors (CNST), and the role of the nursing care.
Method:
prospective, quantitative and descriptive analysis of medical records of 200 patients with TSNC.
Results:
a total of 61% of our patients had benign CNST and 39% had malignant tumors. The extent of patient dependence, according to the Karnofsky Performance Status scale, was significantly greater for patients with malignant CNST (p < .05), indicating that these patients needed more support with their activities of daily living.
Conclusion:
patients with CNST need specialized care, with specific guidance regarding their disease and aspects of daily living after treatment. Thus, the nurse can function as a key element for the effectiveness of care provided to patients and family members with the aim of enhancing the quality of life of all those affected, directly or indirectly, by the disease.

Objetivo:
describir el perfil de los 200 pacientes con tumores del sistema nervioso central (TSNC) y el papel de la enfermería.
Método:
análisis prospectivo, cuantitativo y descriptivo de los registros médicos de 200 pacientes con TSNC.
Resultados:
61% de los pacientes tenían TSNC benignos y 39% tumores malignos. El grado de la dependencia de los pacientes según la Escala de Karnofsky fue significativamente mayor en los pacientes con tumores malignos (P <0,05), lo que indica que estos pacientes necesitan más apoyo en las actividades diarias.
Conclusión:
los pacientes con tumores cerebrales requieren atención especializada, con directrices específicas sobre su enfermedad y aspectos de la vida diaria después del tratamiento. Por lo tanto, los enfermeros pueden ser un elemento clave para la eficacia de la atención prestada a los pacientes y sus familias con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas afectadas por la enfermedad.

to identify the clinical competences of nursing assistants in a hospital organization and to understand how professional acquired these competences.
Method:
an exploratory study of a qualitative approach, performed at a private hospital in southern Brazil, through a semi-structured interview, in May and June 2013 with 20 nursing assistants.
Results:
the nursing assistantswho worked longer in the same work unit had a higher list of clinical competences. The acquisition of clinical competences occurred through interaction with other professionals; in daily nursing practice; in previous experiences and in formal learning.
Final considerations:
the identification of clinical competences and the way nursing assistants acquire these competences can be important resources for managing people, which can be used by nurse managers to better allocate these professionals and provide th e opportunity for their professional development.

Objective:
to unveil the significances of women who experience being the caregiver of their companion with cancer.
Method:
a Heidegger’s phenomenological research, performed with ten women who are caregivers of their companions with cancer in a town in the northwest of the state of Paraná, Brazil, from December 2013 to February 2014. The following guiding question was used: “How has it been for you to care for your companion with cancer?”.
Results:
from the analysis of the speeches the following ontological themes emerged: “Taking responsibility of caring for the companion with cancer”, “Learning to live with the intimacy changes” and “Learning to live with the feelings related to care”. The data revealed the wives’ sense of responsibilities for caring and the influence of feelings in the act of caring, including the impact on the couple’s intimacy.
Conclusion:
in the midst of difficulties, the feelings of affection are the driving force behind these women to continue their actions as wife-caregivers.

Objective:
to analyze the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis “ineffective airway clearance” in children with acute respiratory infection.
Method:
cross-sectional descriptive study, developed in two hospitals specialized in care for children. It was held a detailed respiratory evaluation of the child to identify the defining characteristics of the diagnosis under study.
Results:
a total of 249 children were evaluated, 55.8% were male and the median age was 13.76 months. Ineffective airway clearance was identified in 222 children (89.2%). The following defining characteristics presented statistically significant associations: dyspnea, expectoration, orthopnea, respiratory adventitious sounds, decreased breath sounds and ineffective cough. Decreased breath sounds, ineffective cough and respiratory adventitious sounds composed the logistic regression model.
Conclusion:
the characteristics decreased breath sounds, ineffective cough and respiratory adventitious sounds have better predictive capacity for the diagnosis “ineffective airway clearance” in children with acute respiratory infection.
