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’.

Objective:
to identify the available evidence in the literature on Total Quality Management in nursing administration.
Method:
integrative literature review of full text articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish, published between 2000 and 2011 in the LILACS, MEDLINE, SciELO and PubMed databases.
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:
Total Quality Management in managing of nursing care has being fully used in some health institutions, while others have adopted several of its principles. Two of the twenty four articles are intervention studies, which characterizes the necessity for clinical research in this area.

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.

Objective:
to develop and validate a short guide for the protocol to user embracement with risk classification in pediatrics.
Method:
methodological study developed in two stages: development of the guide, and face and content validation. The development involved the stratification of the protocol contents into five risk indicators according to the level of complexity; subsequently it was submitted to validation by nine experts divided in two groups: professors who were also researchers, and nurses.
Results:
in the face validation the experts considered the 25 items of the guide clear and understandable, with agreement levels above 70%. In the content validation, 17 (68%) items were considered relevant by 88.9% of the experts. The eight items considered irrelevant were changed according to suggestions of the experts, yielding an overall content validity index of 0.98.
Conclusion:
the study resulted in a guide for the classification of risks in pediatrics that is valid to assess children in emergency services.

Objective:
to assess elderly people’s quality of life, understanding the social representations of falls.
Methods:
a convergent mixed methods research carried out at homes, with a sample of 134 elderly people. A structured questionnaire was used, covering sociodemographic variables and factors that indicated frailty and risk of falling. For quality of life assessment, Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 and Theory of Social Representations, Abric’s structural approach were used, with data treated by dictionary of equivalent terms, processed in Evoc 2000, converging analytically according to Neuman.
Results:
quality of life impairment was identified in terms of physical, emotional and functional capacity. The elements of the possible central nucleus were fall, fear, and bruised-broken-bone.
Final considerations:
quality of life impairment can contribute to increase the number of falls, which has been shown to be an event present in elderly people’s lives through evocations. Understanding elderly people’s individual demands allows planning actions.

Objectives:
to discuss, in the light of Florence Nightingale, the historical position of art as a constituent device of evidence-based nursing practice.
Methods:
reflective study anchored in the writings of Nightingale and other researchers with whom it is possible to have a profound dialogue on the theme “art in nursing”.
Results:
art is related to two essential elements in the practice of nursing: knowledge and skill. Understanding science as knowledge and art as skill leads to the idea that both make it possible to combine technical competence, compassion, ethics, and individualization of care. Final Considerations: the art of nursing is the continuous exercise of detailed perception, so that the subjective aspect becomes the center to which the nurse’s gaze converges, that which will allow them to unveil the “truth” posed by the patient, resulting in the best intervention for him.

Objectives:
to identify information that can support creating good practice assumptions to develop family interview for organ and tissue donation.
Methods:
this scoping study, conducted in two Brazilian hospitals in the southern, between April and December 2017, included integrative review and consultation with 15 families who experienced interview for organ donation. For data analysis, thematic content analysis was used.
Results:
three categories emerged: communication of death, which shows the need to know the history of hospitalization of patients; emotional support, the team must have mastery of the stages of mourning; information about donation, professionals need to know the stages of the donation process and respect families’ time.
Final Considerations:
good practice assumptions point to the need for team training, respect for family time and the use of simple language.
