Objectives:
to evaluate the risk of postoperative complications in cardiac patients.
Methods:
an evaluative study using the Tuman Score on medical records of 70 adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery at a University Hospital. The R for Windows software was used for the analyses. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were employed to verify the association between the risk score and complications. The relative risk between the Tuman Score and postoperative complications was obtained through Quasi-Poisson regression, with a 95% confidence interval.
Results:
the majority of the patients were male (58.57%), aged between 41-64 years (50%), who underwent myocardial revascularization (50%). These patients were associated with a lower risk of postoperative complications (p=0.003), (p=0.008), and (p=0.000), respectively. High-risk patients had pulmonary complications (RR=1.32, p=0.002) and neurological complications (RR=1.20, p=0.047).
Conclusions:
preoperative risk assessment promotes qualified care to reduce postoperative complications.

Objectives:
to describe researchers’ experience in collecting data from families of femicide victims.
Methods:
this descriptive, qualitative study took the form of an experience report and was conducted in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. It involved documentary consultation, training researchers, scheduling and conducting interviews, and using a field diary to record the researchers’ perceptions and experiences.
Results:
the descriptions and photographs of the crime scene were both distressing and impactful for the researchers. The mementos of the victims (including clothing, objects, and childhood photos) shown by their families were deeply moving. Identifying with these experiences facilitated listening to the stories told by the relatives. It was essential to maintain a non-judgmental attitude, acknowledge the loss, provide support for the suffering, and demonstrate a willingness to help.
Final Considerations:
the experience encompassed both theoretical and methodological aspects that were planned and executed in data collection, fostering the development of skills and sensitivity towards the cases. Beyond knowledge and preparation, researchers are expected to exhibit ethical conduct and empathetic capacity.

Objectives:
to identify factors associated with preventable infant deaths, classified as neonatal and post-neonatal.
Methods:
this is an epidemiological and population-based study relating to 2020. Data from the Mortality Information System (MIS) and the preventability classification proposed in the Brazilian Health System List of Causes of Deaths Preventable by Interventions were used.
Results:
prematurity, living in the North and Northeast regions and the occurrence of the event at home were associated with preventable neonatal deaths. To the avoidable post-neonatal component, death outside the hospital, low maternal education and children of brown or yellow color/race were associated.
Conclusions:
the main risk factor associated with preventable deaths was prematurity, in the case of neonatal death. Low maternal education and occurrence outside the hospital were associated with post-neonatal deaths.

Objective:
To analyze reflective practice in the teaching-learning process of nurses in residency programs in teaching hospitals in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Methods:
Case study, based on the reflective practice framework, conducted in two teaching hospitals. Observation and interviews were conducted with first and second-year residents, and five participants were included for in-depth analysis, with their data subjected to frequency distribution analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis.
Results:
In 519 observed activities, elements of reflection were identified in 22.2%, especially active listening and expression of doubts. Discourses indicated practice as the best moment for teaching-learning due to its potential to generate reflections. Learning by doing and case discussion were considered potential strategies for reflective learning.
Conclusion:
Know-in-action reflection was evidenced as the predominant formative aspect for residents, with few opportunities for reflection on reflection-in-action.

Objective:
To analyze the determinants for non-vaccination against COVID-19 in pregnant women in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Methods:
An epidemiological study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using data from the project titled “Childbirth and Breastfeeding in Children of Mothers Infected by SARS-CoV-2,” developed during the pandemic in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Results:
The study sample consisted of 360 pregnant women, of whom 77.89% received the COVID-19 vaccine. External, social, and institutional determinants can influence lower adherence to COVID-19 vaccination, especially the absence of employment during pregnancy, difficult access to prenatal consultations, and a compromised or deficient support network.
Conclusions:
In light of this scenario, greater encouragement for health education is necessary, especially during prenatal care, resulting in lower rates of morbidity and mortality and favorable perinatal outcomes.

Objectives:
to evaluate the effectiveness of peripheral central catheterization by comparing the modified Seldinger technique and the conventional technique in critically ill newborns.
Methods:
randomized unmasked clinical trial conducted in a public children’s hospital. Participation of 111 newborns with randomized allocation, 56 in the control group (conventional technique) and 55 in the experimental group (modified Seldinger). Success and absence of complications were evaluated as primary outcomes. The pain scale, difficulty in hemostasis, procedure time and number of punctures were considered secondary outcomes.
Results:
there was no statistical significance between groups, either for success (p=0.705) or absence of complications (p=0.347). A lower pain score, improved hemostasis, increased assertiveness with fewer punctures and reduced procedure time were not observed in the experimental group.
Conclusions:
the modified Seldinger technique did not prove to be a more effective insertion technology compared to the conventional method. Brazilian Clinical Trial Registry: RBR-69vks36.

Objectives:
to understand the narratives of sex workers about violence suffered by intimate partners and their coping strategies.
Methods:
qualitative research, focused on thematic oral history, carried out with six sex workers in southern Brazil, who responded to in-depth interviews using a flexible script. Thematic content analysis was used.
Results:
the study included cisgender women who self-identified as half black and half white. Most had children and were separated. They reported abusive relationships by their intimate partners, with emphasis on verbal, psychological, financial, and physical violence and attempted femicide. Such violence resulted in coping strategies, such as avoiding emotional bonds and maintaining a discreet life.
Final Considerations:
intimate partner violence is prevalent among participants, leading them to adopt strategies to preserve their safety and well-being, highlighting the need for public policies that meet their particularities and guarantee protection.

Objective:
to investigate the possibilities of positive and negative association of improvisation and the understanding of what will be the planning by managers and coordinators of tuberculosis control programs, in a context of transference of the Directly Observed Treatment policy.
Method:
this is a qualitative study, developed through semi-structured interviews analyzed in the light of French Discourse Analysis.
Results:
there was a weakening of the constructive and operational planning process, which is at the mercy of political will and the need of putting out fires. This, in turn, along with achômetro (Brazilian popular expression used on unsubstantiated point of view or opinion that is based solely and exclusively on the intuition of the person who says it), composed the metaphor of improvisation in its negative perspective, understood by automatism and unsystematization process. Improvisation, however, emerged as a representation of innovation, creativity, and contextual change.
Final considerations:
both the planning and the transfer of public policies constitute processes that need to be strengthened and qualified in the field of public health.

Objective:
To apprehend social representation of health care professionals on HIV/AIDS and to compare it with a subgroup of physicians.
Method:
Qualitative research based on the Theory of Social Representations. Free associations for the term HIV/AIDS were collected from 73 workers of public services specialized in HIV/AIDS, in Salvador-Bahia. The results were analyzed in the EVOC software.
Results:
For all health professionals, HIV/AIDS is associated with “prejudice, care, disease and prevention”, and for the subgroup of physicians it is associated with the term “prevention”. Health professionals represented HIV/AIDS similarly to society in general and, due to their normative character, prescribed attitudes typical of health care professionals.
Final considerations:
The findings show that, despite the advances in the health area regarding the treatment of AIDS, prejudice still persists. It is important to strengthen interdisciplinary actions focused on discussions on this theme during training, favoring the comprehensiveness of the assistance.

The study used 20 Wistar adult male rats divided into the following groups: control (laparotomy with no induction of abdominal sepsis), sepsis (experimental model of sepsis with cecal ligation and puncture), N-acetylcysteine + sepsis and diosmin-hesperidin + sepsis. The evaluation contemplated physiological parameters (temperature, glycemia, and average blood pressure), kidney function (creatinine clearance), oxidative stress (urinary peroxides) and kidney histology.
Results:
The animals submitted to cecal ligation and puncture (sepsis) presented lower body temperature, lower average blood pressure, reduced creatinine clearance and increased urinary hydrogen peroxide levels. Treatment with diosmin-hesperidin improved kidney function and led to a reduction in the excretion of oxidative metabolites.
Conclusion:
The present study highlighted the protective antioxidant action of diosmin-hesperidin in the experimental model of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury.

Objective:
to identify damages resulting from incidents with the Hickman® catheter.
Method:
descriptive, retrospective, qualitative approach. The source of data were the notifications of incidents that occurred between January 2012 and May 2015, as well as the information available on the medical records of patients involved in incidents with the Hickman® catheter.
Results:
the incidents related to the Hickman® catheter with the greatest impact on patient care were obstruction, fracture and traction. All incidents caused damage to patients, in a greater or lesser degree, in the dimensions of physical damage and subjective damage.
Final considerations:
damage or potential risk of damage was present in all incidents analyzed. The need to revise cleaning and obstruction protocols for the maintenance of the permeability of Hickman® catheters was demonstrated.

Objective:
to assess the contribution of the introduction and implementation of the Nursing Process of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina — UFSC) for the progress of the profession from 1979 to 2004.
Method:
qualitative and social-historical study. We used oral and documentary sources for data collection, through semi-structured interviews with 14 nurses and documentary analysis. The study was analyzed under Eliot Freidson theory of content and theoretical reference, on the sociology of professions.
Results:
the challenges mentioned were lack of knowledge; nurses overloaded with responsibilities; precarious physical space and materials; lack of consideration of the Nursing Process by the multiprofessional team. The political participation of the professors of the Nursing Department was fundamental for the successful introduction of the Nursing Process. We emphasize the professional commitment of nurses to face the challenges presented.
Conclusion:
the introduction and implementation of the Nursing Process contributed to the progress of nursing in the state of Santa Catarina regarding appreciation and professionalization.

Objective:
construct and validate the content of an instrument to collect data from patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) served in a specialty clinic.
Method:
methodological study consisting of four steps. The first step consisted in the preparation of the instrument using databases and the theoretical model of Marjory Gordon. In the second and third steps the content was validated by eight nursing judges. The evaluation used the Content Validity Index (CVI). The fourth step consisted in a pilot test with seventeen HNC patients.
Results:
of the 88 questions formulated and organized on the dimensions of structure and process submitted to validation, items with CVI lower than 0.80 were excluded. The final instrument was composed of 56 items, with global CVI calculated as 0.87.
Conclusion:
the final instrument presented content validity for data collection in head and neck clinic.

Objective:
To adapt and validate the Patient Activation Measure (PAM22) in a sample of Brazilians with chronic diseases under outpatient monitoring.
Method:
Adaptation process comprises translation, back translation, analysis by a committee of judges, semantic analysis, and pre-test. Psychometric validation was performed with 513 individuals. Construct validity was analyzed through Pearson’s correlation, Student’s t-test and Structural Equation Modeling; reliability was assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach’s Alpha.
Results:
The internal consistency was adequate and test-retest reliability was low to moderate (p < 0.05). Validity evidence was found on the convergent construct, with statistically significant correlations between measures of activation, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and health status. The one-dimensionality of the theoretical model was not confirmed in the adapted version.
Conclusion:
Results have shown that the adapted version is reliable and valid, although the theoretical model cannot be explained in a single dimension.
