Objetivo:
Analizar la configuración de las relaciones de poder entre el equipo multiprofesional en el proceso de rondas de cabecera en el hospital.
Método:
Investigación cualitativa con datos analizados a través del análisis del discurso, basado en el marco teórico de Michel Foucault. De septiembre a diciembre de 2022, realizamos entrevistas y observaciones de campo con el equipo multiprofesional de un hospital de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil, así como entrevistas cualitativas semiestructuradas con 37 profesionales.
Resultados:
Los participantes señalaron que las experiencias de los profesionales involucrados en las rondas de cabecera dependen de cómo el médico conduce el proceso, y el proceso centrado en el médico dificulta la participación de otros profesionales del equipo.
Consideraciones finales:
La forma en que los hospitales organizan las rondas de cabecera no promueve la articulación del conocimiento de sus profesionales. Además, dificulta la circulación del poder y perjudica el trabajo interdisciplinario en un proceso que mantiene al médico como actor principal de las decisiones clínicas.

Objective:
To analyze the configuration of power relations among the multiprofessional team in the bedside round process in the hospital.
Methods:
Qualitative research with data analyzed through discourse analysis, based on Michel Foucault’s theoretical framework. From September to December 2022, we conducted interviews and field observations with the multiprofessional team at a hospital in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, as well as qualitative, semi-structured interviews with 37 professionals.
Results:
The participants pointed out that the experiences of the professionals involved in bedside rounds depend on how the physician conducts the process, and the physician-centered process makes it difficult for other professionals in the team to participate.
Final considerations:
The way hospitals organize bedside rounds does not promote knowledge articulation for their professionals. It hinders the circulation of power and harms interdisciplinary work in a process that maintains the physician as the main actor in clinical decisions.

Objective:
to analyze adverse events following immunization (AEFI) caused by immunization error in the state of Paraná, Brazil, from 2003 to 2013.
Method:
this is a descriptive, documental, retrospective, and quantitative research using secondary data from the Adverse Event Following Immunization Information System and the Immunization Program Evaluation System. We included cases confirmed and/or associated with different types of vaccines. For the analysis, we collected frequencies and incidence rates, and used simple linear regression models with Student’s t-test.
Results:
it was observed an AEFI increase due to immunization errors, especially hot subcutaneous abscesses. BCG vaccine had the highest incidence of adverse events and children under one year old were the most affected individuals.
Conclusion:
the current scenario is worrisome because these are preventable AEFI – injuring patients due to bad vaccination practices – that may undermine the population’s confidence, reducing immunization coverage, and the progress in the control of vaccine-preventable diseases.

Method:
qualitative research founded on the theory of social representations, with 42 nurses from a public maternity ward of Salvador-BA, using identification questionnaire, test of free association of words, and semi-structured interview. We analyzed the structure of social representations and the similarity tree of free evocations, and also analyzed the content of interviews.
Results:
care for women involved with drugs is represented by a set of words that shows theoretical questions and scientific techniques, but faced with experiences in the training, in the daily work and in ideas and values assigned to the consumption of drugs especially in the gravidic-puerperal period.
Conclusion:
The social representations of nurses show conflicts between social and cultural aspects around the problem of drugs and the health care provided to women involved with drugs.

Objective:
to analyze the functional health literacy (FHL), i.e., understanding and knowledge about chronic renal disease of 60 patients in pre-dialytic treatment.
Method:
this is a cross-sectional study. FHL was measured by B-TOFHLA; and the knowledge, by questionnaire. Pearson correlation and Chi-square tests were carried out as well as linear regression models.
Results:
all respondents presented inadequate FHL, and most showed insufficient knowledge about the disease and treatment. Low schooling was a predictive factor for worst FHL scores. Insufficient knowledge was related to age and compromised cognition.
Conclusion:
although association between predictive variables has not been found, limited capability to obtain and use health-related information and insufficient knowledge about their own condition and treatment can contribute to worse outcomes for CKD. Appropriate intervention strategies are necessary to deal with limited FHL and also greater knowledge and ability of professionals to deal with the matter.
