Objectives:
to develop a nursing diagnosis proposal focused on venous return.
Methods:
this is a concept analysis according to the model proposed by Walker and Avant, which is operationalized through an integrative review. The study was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol recommendations.
Results:
the analysis of the 131 studies allowed identifying attributes, antecedents and consequences. The most common attribute was decreased venous flow. The antecedents most frequently found were structural and/or functional valve deficiency, advanced age and peripheral venous thrombosis. The most common consequences were peripheral edema, venous ulcer and pain in the extremity.
Conclusions:
the formulated nursing diagnosis was proposed as part of Domain 4, Activity/rest, in Class 4, Cardiovascular/pulmonary responses, with eight defining characteristics, five related factors, six at-risk populations and four associated conditions.

Objectives:
to map the scientific evidence on the use of abdominal compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with cardiac arrest.
Methods:
this is a scoping review based on the question: “What is the evidence regarding the use of abdominal compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with cardiac arrest?”. Publications up to August 2022 were collected from eight databases. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews was used.
Results:
seventeen publications were included. The identified general population consisted of adults and elderly individuals. The primary outcome revealed significant rates of return of spontaneous circulation. Secondary outcomes indicated a significant improvement in heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and other outcomes.
Conclusions:
abdominal compressions have been shown to be beneficial. However, further clinical studies are needed to identify the best execution method and its impacts.

Objectives:
to evaluate the outcomes of Interval Copper Intrauterine Device (IUD) insertion performed by certified midwives and obstetric nurse practitioners at a Peri-Hospital Birth Center.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study was conducted involving 75 women who underwent IUD insertion between January 2018 and February 2020. Data collection was carried out using medical records and telephone interviews.
Results:
no instances of uterine perforation were observed. Expulsion rates of the devices were 1.3% within 30 to 45 days of use and 5.3% within the first year of use. The follow-up removal rate was 4.0%. The average pain score reported was 4.2 (SD = 3.3). Among those who continued using the device, 93.1% expressed satisfaction.
Conclusions:
the findings demonstrate that IUD insertion by certified midwives and obstetric nurse practitioners is a safe procedure, yielding outcomes comparable to those reported in the existing literature.

Objectives:
to identify the risk factors associated with primary postpartum hemorrhage in a university hospital.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study was conducted with 277 postpartum women who received care during childbirth or cesarean section between June and August 2020. Data were collected using a pre-structured questionnaire administered 24 hours after delivery. Poisson Regression was employed to analyze the factors associated with postpartum hemorrhage.
Results:
postpartum hemorrhage was observed in 30% of the study sample. Shock Index and uterine distension were found to be statistically associated with postpartum hemorrhage. Postpartum women with a Shock Index ≥ 0.9 had a 61% higher prevalence of postpartum hemorrhage (PR=1.61, 95% CI: 1.07 – 2.43), while those with uterine distension had a 134% higher prevalence (PR=2.34, 95% CI: 1.63 – 3.36).
Conclusions:
recognizing these factors contributes to improvements in clinical practice, as they enable the prediction of their occurrence and call for appropriate management, thereby preventing unfavorable outcomes.

Objective:
analyze the pertinence of calls made by obstetric users of the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU 192) of Botucatu-SP.
Method:
retrospective and analytical research. All records of prehospital obstetric care delivered by the SAMU 192 in 2012 were analyzed. To be considered responsive, calls should lead to referral to a reference obstetric hospital or be classified with the colors red, orange and yellow, according to risk criteria defined by the Ministry of Health.
Results:
considering the two outcomes evaluated: referral to a reference hospital and risk criteria defined by the Ministry of Health, 6.7% and 75.6% of the calls were not pertinent, respectively. There was no matching between outcomes, neither variation between primiparas and multiparas as regards the call pertinence.
Conclusion:
this study ratifies the need for implementing a risk classification protocol in obstetrics, and support managers in the organization, qualification and effective implementation of the Rede Cegonha.

Objective:
to know and analyze the experiences of women who developed an episode of Severe Maternal Morbidity.
Method:
this is a qualitative study, in which we interviewed 16 women admitted to a tertiary level hospital, as a result of this morbid state. We used content analysis in data processing.
Results:
two categories were identified: “Understanding maternal morbidity as a negative presence” and “Moving ahead: on constant alert”. The interviewees mentioned negative aspects, such as treatment difficulties and hospitalization, feelings of fear, concern for the fetus, frustration with the idealized pregnancy, trauma; and positive aspects, such as learning and the expression of the divine will in the experience of illness.
Conclusion:
effective care during the prenatal period, delivery and postpartum period should provide adequate support for the prevention and assistance in Severe Maternal Morbidity.

Objective:
to identify costs of dressings to prevent sacral pressure ulcers in an adult intensive care unit in Paraná, Brazil.
Methods:
secondary analysis study with 25 patients admitted between October 2013 and March 2014, using transparent polyurethane film (n=15) or hydrocolloid dressing (n=10) on the sacral region. The cost of each intervention was based on the unit amount used in each type of dressing, and its purchase price (transparent film = R$15.80, hydrocolloid dressing = R$68.00).
Results:
the mean cost/patient was R$23.17 for use of transparent film and R$190.40 for use of hydrocolloid dressing. The main reason for changing the dressing was detachment.
Conclusion:
the transparent film was the most economically advantageous alternative to prevent sacral pressure ulcers in critical care patients. However, additional studies should be carried out including assessment of the effectiveness of both dressings.

Results:
most participants (65.6%) had a high level of burnout. In relation to protective factors, those who carried out leisure activities had a 33.6% chance of not developing burnout. Conjugality was also a protective factor. Not practicing physical activity and leisure activities are factors that can contribute to the occurrence of burnout.
Conclusions:
important factors and high rates of burnout were observed in the police officers investigated. It is necessary to implement public health policies to reduce burnout with attention focused on this professional category.

Results:
In the first and second rounds, 75 and 71 judges validated the risk classification instrument, respectively. The minimum adherence score for the latent variable item based on the final number of judges was 0.22 and 0.18; thus, 52 items, divided into three classification categories (red, orange, and yellow), were retained.
Conclusion:
The instrument was considered valid regarding clarity, relevance, pertinence, and agreement regarding the severity indicated in the item.
