Views0Objective:
the objective was to assess the level of physical activity (LPA) and the quality of life QL of the professionals who work in ICU.
Method:
this was a cross-sectional study carried out in Adult ICUs. LPA was assessed by the International Questionnarie of Physical Activity – short form (IQPA-SF) and the QL by the Medical Outcomes Study 36 (SF-36) questionnaire.
Results:
it was classified active 50.89% out of a total of 59 professionals. Nursing technicians were considered the most active with 60.6%. The QL of the professionals who were considered active were better when compared to inactives, with statistical differences to the category of physical aspects limitation, social aspects and mental health. The working hours were higher than recommend, the physicians were higher than the physical therapist, nurses and technicians nurses (p = 0.046).
Conclusion:
physically active professionals who work in ICU had higher quality of life probably why have lower hours of work and consequently more free time to engage in physical activity.

identify learning needs of students of Technical Vocational Education (TVE) in Nursing. Qualitative study conducted in a city of São Paulo state.
Method:
the subjects were students, teachers and coordinators of TVE and students of the bachelor degree who have had contact with TVE. Data collection was performed by questionnaire socioeconomic and cultural circles about the learning needs. For data analysis we used the content analysis.
Results:
it was found that students have difficulties contents not related to nursing as portuguese and mathematics, as well as introductory courses in the course of TVE which possibly may interfere negatively in learning specific content of nursing and the quality of health care.
Conclusion:
it is necessary to rethink the content taught and ways to teach from basic education, as well as the training of teachers who now works in the TVE.

Objective:
to analyze the prevalence and factors associated with inconsistent use of condoms among people living with HIV/ Aids (PLWHA).
Method:
it is a cross-sectional study with 228, with individual interviews conducted in 2011. A multivariate analysis was performed with a logistic regression model.
Results:
143 participants met the inclusion criteria, and the prevalence of inconsistent condom use was 28.7%. However, there was greater adherence among men (79.3%). In the multivariate analysis, the independent variable daily use of alcohol (OR=11.02; 95% CI 1.84, 65.92; p = 0.021) was associated with inconsistent condom use. The chance of men making consistent condom use was higher than women (OR = 0.36, 95% CI 0.15, 0.81; p = 0.015).
Conclusion:
the prevalence of inconsistent condom male use among PLWHA was low, however, evidenced greater compliance among men over women with a statistically significant difference and the daily use of alcohol was associated with inconsistent condom use.

Objective:
to analyze the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with valvular heart disease and to verify the influence of these variables on the impact of valve disease in daily life.
Method:
the study involved 86 outpatients. Data collection was performed in two stages – face-to-face interview for sociodemographic and clinical characterization and through telephone contact for the application of the Instrument to Measure the Impact of Valvular Heart Disease on Patient’s Everyday Life (IDCV). Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.
Results:
it was noticed that the total score of IDCV and its domains were influenced by age, schooling, presence or absence of symptoms, use or not of diuretic.
Conclusion:
The impact of the disease was influenced by sociodemographic and clinical variables. The results provide subsidies for the design of nursing interventions aimed at reducing the impact of the disease on the patient’s daily life with valve disease.

Objective:
analyze the concept of delayed surgical recovery.
Method:
the Rodgers’ concept analysis provided the procedural mechanisms to guide the study, and an integrative review was performed to achieve the second activity of the model adopted. The PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE and LILACS databases were selected to search for primary studies.
Results:
sixty-six primary studies were included and served as basis to construct the use and meaning of delayed surgical recovery concept. In the analysis, six attributes were outlined, which are interrelated and underpin the research concept definition. Preliminary experience was identified as the antecedent. The consequences of the concept are expressed through clinical manifestations, re-interventions, dependence on care and reduced quality of life.
Conclusion:
the definition of the concept was constructed, and the antecedents and consequents were identified. The use and meaning of the delayed surgical recovery concept point to the use of the qualifier ‘impaired’ instead of ‘delayed’.

Results:
the sample comprises 24 periodical articles grouped by the following thematic categories: Theoretical assumptions; Practical application and Quality indicators. Despite the criticism of models derived from classic administration theories, experiences of success with the deployment of TQM have already marked the health and nursing setting in Brazil.
Conclusion:

Objective:
to characterize fatigue and exertion fatigue in patients with intermittent claudication (IC), and to test their association with sociodemographic and clinical variables, walking capacity and level of physical activity.
Method:
forty-nine participants (66.6 years; 70% male) were studied. Validated questionnaires were used to assess fatigue (DUFS), exertion fatigue (DEFS), level of physical activity (BASIC) and walking capacity (WIQ).
Results:
participants had substantial fatigue (DUFS = 20.4+8.8) and substantial exertion fatigue (DEFS = 20.4+10.8). There was an association between the DUFS and marital status (p = 0,008). There was a statically significant association between DEFS with scores of the BASIC (r = .331; p = .02) and among DEFS with WIQ domains – walking distance (r=.359; p = .011) and climbing stairs (r=.331; p = .02).
Conclusion:
patients with IC have fatigue and exertion fatigue. Exertion fatigue might compromise the engagement of these patients in physical activity, one of the main components of IC treatment.

Objective:
to calculate the average total cost (ATC) on the direct labor costs (DLC) of nursing professionals in body mobilization of patients for the prevention of pressure ulcers.
Method:
this is a quantitative, exploratory and, descriptive research. We observed 656 preventive mobilizations and we calculated the cost by multiplying the time spent by professionals at a unitary DLC.
Results:
ATC with DLC for each Unit corresponded to: Medical Clinic R$ 5.38 for bed turning, R$ 5.26 for seating positions, R$ 5.55 for walking aid; Surgical Clinic R$ 2.42 for bed turning, R$ 2.30 for seating positions, R$ 2.96 for walking aid and Intensive Care Unit R$ 8.15 for bed turning, R$ 7.57 for seating positions, R$ 15.32 for walking aid.
Conclusion:
the knowledge generated can support management related to costs of human resources needed to efficiently and effectively nursing care.

Objective:
To analyze the strategies employed by nurses to maintain the nursing residence program at the Ophir Loyola Hospital and discuss the potential effects of this interruption on the state of Pará.
Method:
Social-historic research. Data were collected through primary sources, written documents, and oral testimonial; the secondary sources used were manuals and articles that approached the topic in question. The theoretical reference was based on the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s ideas about the concepts of cultural, social, and symbolic capital, in addition to the habitus and field concepts.
Results:
During the nurses’ mobilization there was a strong political influence on the development of the crisis and the interruption of the nursing residence Program at the Ophir Loyola Hospital, with implications for the nurses’ qualifications and the health care delivered to the societyof Pará.
Conclusion:
The analysis showed the prevalence of partisan political interests at the expense of social interests, culminating in the interruption of the nursing residency.
