Objective:
determine which tool (NEMS and NAS) is most suitable for use in intensive care units using a quality-based methodology.
Method:
after identifying the opportunity for improvement “Inadequacy of the NEMS for determining nursing workload in the intensive care unit (ICU)”, we assessed the NEMS and the NAS, as a proposed improvement to the NEMS, using quality improvement cycles methodology based on the following criteria: measurement of daily nursing workload on a daily and shift basis; the tool encompasses all nursing activities undertaken in the ICU; and workload assessed per patient and unit.
Results:
there was no significant difference in level of compliance for the NEMS (67%). The comparison NEMS-NAS showed that there was a statistically significant improvement for all criteria except criterion 1. The NEMS only assesses criterion 1 (64.22%); while the NAS assessed all four criteria, obtaining a compliance rate of 64.74% for criteria 1, 2, and 4, and 100% for criterion 3.
Conclusion:
the NAS is more suitable for measuring nursing workload in UCIs.

Objective:
to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational nursing intervention to reduce hyperphosphataemia in chronic renal patients on hemodialysis.
Method:
quasi-experimental study with 63 hyperphosphatemic patients on hemodialysis. The intervention consisted of developing and providing a printed and illustrated manual to patients containing information on disease control. The participant was asked to complete a daily checklist with the aim to reinforce aspects provided in the manual. Laboratory tests and itching intensity were analyzed at the beginning of the study, and at 30 and 60 days after the educational intervention.
Results:
the mean age of participants was 58±13.1 years, with a treatment time of 51.1±44.7 months. A reduction in serum phosphorus values of 7.06 ± 1.43 to 5.80 ± 1.53 (p <0.001) and the intensity of itching after the intervention was observed.
Conclusion:
the educational nursing intervention was effective in reducing phosphate and decreasing itching in hyperphosphatemic patients.

Objective:
identify how filial care and the relationship with the elderly occur in families of different nationalities.
Method:
qualitative study carried out in a town on the triple frontier of Paraná, comprising 33 elderly people of five different nationalities, adopting the Symbolic Interactionism and the Grounded Theory as theoretical-methodological strategy.
Results:
among Lebanese people, the Muslim religion teaches children to obey and respect parents; among French, distant family relationships and institutions for the elderly stand out. Paraguayans hold close family relationships; Chinese people consider filial care as a tacit obligation; Brazilians, in turn, tend to embrace and take care of their parents in old age.
Conclusion:
family care prevailed, but the traditions of each society lead the actions of that care, demanding health professionals’ capacity of recognizing in which context the elderly is inserted.

Objective:
to investigate what is the best anthropometric predictor of arterial hypertension among private school students.
Method:
this was a cross-sectional study with 286 students between the ages of 10 and 14 from two private schools in the city of Paranavaí, Paraná, Brazil. The following variables were analyzed: body mass index, waist circumference and blood pressure. Statistical analysis was conducted with Pearson’s partial correlation test and multivariate logistic regression, with p<0.05.
Results:
both anthropometric indicators displayed weak correlation with systolic and diastolic levels, with coeffi cients (r) ranging from 0.27 to 0.36 (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the only anthropometric indicator associated with arterial hypertension was waist circumference (OR= 2.3; 95% CI: 1.1-4.5), regardless of age or gender.
Conclusion:
this age group, waist circumference appeared to be a better predictor for arterial hypertension than body mass index.

Objective:
this qualitative study aimed to analyze the perceptions of primary health care management nurses on the nursing process.
Method:
data were collected through interviews and analyzed by the Content Analysis proposed by Bardin’s theoretical framework.
Results:
managers recognize the importance of the nursing process, although its implementation was not a priority at the time of the interviews. A conceptual diffi culty and a lack of understanding that the implementation of the care methodology should be a cross-departmental action in the local healthcare management were clearly observed.
Conclusion:
managers should have their perspectives broadened concerning the relevance of the nursing process and the professional training. The active participation of legislative nursing bodies, local healthcare management and the federal government may open the way for the effective implementation of the nursing process.

Objective:
to make across-cultural adaptation of the “Nursing Students’ Attitudes Toward Mental Health Nursing and Consumers” scale in Brazil.
Method:
the scale was tested regarding conceptual, item, semantic, and operational equivalence.
Results:
content validation was conducted by an expert committee with a minimum consensus level of 80%. This process resulted in a 35-item scale divided into 6 factors. The experts reached 100% consensus on the scale’s clarity of language, practical pertinence and theoretical relevance, as well as on the need for excluding one factor. Data were collected in 2013 in the city of Londrina, Paraná, Brazil.
Conclusion:
the instrument was cross-culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese and presented satisfactory content validity. We propose further studies on the scale’s psychometric properties, such as construct validity, internal consistency and reliability.

descrever o julgamento clínico de enfermagem para identificar diagnósticos NANDA e desenvolver um plano de tratamento NIC para uma criança em pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca em terapia intensiva.
Método:
estudo de caso com coleta de dados retrospectiva no prontuário.
Resultados:
três enfermeiras identificaram diagnósticos NANDA e intervenções NIC. Criança de 6 meses, submetida a cirurgia cardíaca, necessitou oxigenação extracorpórea por membrana no pós-operatório. Foram identificados quatro principais diagnósticos, aos quais foram direcionadas dez intervenções. A proposta de intervenções para responder às necessidades humanas prioritárias da criança foi otimizada pelo uso das terminologias padronizadas. Todos os diagnósticos foram sustentados por indicadores diagnósticos; todas as intervenções foram cientificamente sustentadas.
Conclusão:
espera-se que os enfermeiros abordem não somente as respostas fisiológicas, mas também aquelas dos domínios psicossociais.

Objectives:
to synthesize and analyze evidence on intrauterine device insertion by nurses in Primary Health Care.
Methods:
an integrative review, carried out in the BDENF, CINAHL, LILACS, SciELO, Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science databases in June 2022, delimiting the period from 1960 to 2022.
Results:
141 articles were identified in the initial search, and 10 studies made up the final sample. Four (40%) were developed in the United States and one (10%) in Brazil, with publications from 1979 to 2021. The findings were grouped into three categories: Nurse training to insert an intrauterine device; Nurses’ competency to insert an intrauterine device; and Women’s access to intrauterine devices.
Conclusions:
nurse theoretical and practical training is a prominent element, consolidated in the favorable outcomes of insertions performed by nurses and satisfaction among women, a practice that has expanded access to the contraceptive method in Primary Health Care.
