Objectives:
to describe nurses’ perception of the influence of clinical supervision on improving quality indicators in nursing care.
Methods:
exploratory research with a qualitative approach, carried out with 16 nurses using the focus group. Data processing emerged from lexicographical textual analysis, resorting to Descending Hierarchical Classification and similarity analysis.
Results:
80.0% retention of 185 text segments with six-class construction. The words were represented by four graphs (supervisor, audit, care, and process); and three subgraphs (implementation, sharing and knowledge).

Objectives:
to analyze the concept of “early diagnosis of HIV/Aids infection” in light of Walker and Avant’s conceptual analysis model.
Methods:
concept analysis study based on the framework proposed by Walker and Avant, instrumented by a scoping review conducted in April 2022, following the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute and checklist Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. The search was made in eight data sources, obtaining sixteen articles.
Results:
the study found homosexual intercourses, early examination, anti-HIV antibodies, CD4 count, and sexually transmitted infection as the main attributes of the concept. As antecedents: information, risky behavior, unprotected sexual relations, prevention, and access to the service. As main consequences: antiretroviral treatment, seroconversion, transmission, and consultations.
Final Considerations:
the study approached the circumstantial situations of the theme, its attributes, antecedents, and consequences, qualifying the work process based on knowledge of nursing practice.

Objectives:
to adapt, validate the content and assess the reliability of the instrument National Aeronautics and Space Administration – Task Load Index, translated into Brazilian Portuguese.
Methods:
a methodological study, divided into five steps: translation; synthesis; back-translation; assessment of the Portuguese version by an expert committee; pre-test and content validity of the final version by health professionals working in inpatient units. The Content Validity Index (CVI) (minimum 0.80) and Cronbach’s alpha (minimum 0.70) were calculated.
Results:
in the first round, in the agreement analysis of the translated version, three items did not reach the minimum CVI value. It was decided to remove the statement. The instrument title and items “performance” and “effort” were changed. There was consensus and approval of the final version in the pre-test step.
Conclusions:
the NASA Task Load Index instrument, adapted to Brazilian Portuguese, presents reliability and content validity evidence.

Objectives:
to map, in the world literature, instruments for assessing foot self-care of people with diabetes.
Methods:
a scoping review in Scopus by Elsevier, MEDLINE via PubMed, LILACS, SciELO databases and gray literature, using the controlled words diabetic foot, self care, questionnaire. Search was carried out in February and March 2021, according to JBI recommendations and PRISMA-ScR extension.
Results:
fifteen studies made up the review, 14 articles and one thesis, published between 2000 and 2020. 16 instruments were identified: five with an emphasis on general self-care and 11 on foot self-care. Inspection, hygiene, washing and drying between the toes, lotion application and use of proper shoes and socks were the main self-care measures presented.
Final Considerations:
foot self-care is assessed by knowledge, social support and frequency with which measures are being put into practice, encouraging professional practice.

Objectives:
to validate the educational technology “Educational Material on HIV” (INPI – BR 10 2020 003765 0).
Methods:
a methodological study with 39 expert judges in HIV/AIDS, using a 5-point Likert scale for assessment. Data were tabulated, processed and analyzed through descriptive analysis. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega tests were performed to analyze internal consistency, and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, for reliability. Agreement was established by a Level Content Validity Index greater than 0.90.
Results:
the assessment instrument showed high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.89; McDonald’s omega of 0.91) with reliable values. Based on the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, judges’ answers showed acceptable reliability, mean score 0.89 (p<0.001). Agreement among judges was greater than 0.90 in the three assessed dimensions (objectives, presentation and relevance).
Conclusions:
the technology was considered a qualified and adequate tool by the judges regarding its objectives, presentation and relevance.

Objectives:
to analyze the Systematization of Nursing Care conceptual maturation from the perspective of pragmatic utility.
Methods:
a concept analysis study. The stages were: select the concept; elaborate analytical questions; comprehensively review the literature; and determine concept structural components. Sixty-one documents were analyzed after a search carried out until October 2019.
Results:
four temporal periods of contextual changes have occurred since the emergence of ideas of a systematization in the 1960s. This first lasted until 1990. It was followed by those from 1990 to 2002, from 2002 to 2009 and from 2009 onwards. Partial conceptual maturity was identified, operationalization over the years, based on multiple definitions, and, currently, a concept of Systematization of Nursing Care with managerial and organizational attributes.
Conclusions:
the concept of Systematization of Nursing Care is partially mature, presents multiple definitions, being operationalized in uncertain connections with other concepts.

Objective:
to investigate the association between physical frailty and quality of life in elderly users of primary health care in the capital of the state of Paraná.
Method:

Results:
of the 203 older adults, 115 were pre-frail, 49 were non-frail, and 39 were frail, with a significant association with functional capacity and quality of life in all groups. The dimensions resulting from physical aspects, pain, and vitality were associated with those that were non-frail.
Conclusion:
in this study, frailty syndrome was inversely proportional to the quality of life, and significantly associated with functional capacity of older adults. Physical frailty is a manageable condition which can be targeted through geriatric nursing interventions.
