Objectives:
to understand how healthcare waste management is developed by nursing professionals in hospitals.
Methods:
qualitative research, whose theoretical and methodological frameworks were Complexity Theory and Grounded Theory. Thirty-two nursing professionals from a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were used.
Results:
nursing affects healthcare waste management multidimensionally. Shortage of materials and work overload were identified as factors that influence professionals’ decision-making and increase the risk of improper waste disposal. The lack of knowledge on the subject also influences nursing practice. However, professionals value actions related to hazardous waste.
Final Considerations:
nursing professionals recognize themselves in healthcare waste management and understand the need to develop systemic awareness for sustainable practice.

Objectives:
to characterize the sociodemographic and psychological aspects of university students who sought psychiatric care at a Student Support Center of a Federal University and to analyze associations between mental health issues and predisposing factors.
Methods:
a retrospective analysis of 103 medical records was conducted. The statistical analysis consisted of two steps: a descriptive analysis and a predictive analysis using the Logistic Regression Model.
Results:
the majority of the students were female. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia were the main reasons for seeking care. Students who reported having emotional difficulties that negatively impacted their studies and those who had undergone some form of health treatment showed a higher probability of experiencing anxiety symptoms. Notable correlations were found between anxiety and emotional difficulties, depression and diarrhea, and insomnia and a sedentary lifestyle.
Conclusions:
symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia led students to seek psychiatric care at the university. Understanding the predisposing factors for mental health issues in university students can inform care strategies and promote academic success.

Objectives:
to analyze the editorial discourses of Acta Paulista de Enfermagem from 1988 to 2017.
Methods:
qualitative, historical, oral research, with interviews with the journal’s editors. Statements were categorized and presented in three decades, discussed from Foucault’s archaeological perspective.
Results:
seven statements presented three discourses. In the first decade, the discourse of knowledge registration and circulation presented statements of graduate studies and professional recognition. In the second decade, knowledge internationalization was added, with statements of business and editorial panopticism, selection criteria, indexing and digitalization. Finally, the discourse of shifting scientific assessment centrality was added with statements of preprint, open science, exclusive digitalization and mediatization of science.
Final Considerations:
the journal needed to adapt to form its official discourse, which made it possible, over the years, to change its initial peripheral position to a central one within scientific communication, supporting its panoptic role.

Objectives:
to identify the strategies found in the literature for increasing vaccination coverage among children in Brazil. It is justified mainly by the current scenario of falling vaccination coverage.
Methods:
systematic literature review. The search was carried out in the Pubmed (MEDLINE), Embase and Scopus databases, following the PRISMA guidelines.
Results:
initially, 4,824 results were returned. In the end, 6 studies were included for narrative synthesis using the SWiM methodology. Of these, 50% dealt with studies related to the Bolsa Família Program (PBF). The others explored strategies for approaching parents directly, Rapid Vaccination Monitoring (MRV) and the Community Health Agents Program (PACS). The PBF did not guarantee compliance with the conditionality of keeping vaccinations up to date. The MRV and PACS are effective strategies, especially because they allow active search for absentees.
Conclusions:
we conclude that more publications are needed on strategies to increase vaccination coverage among children in Brazil.

Objectives:
to analyze the relationship between the nursing practice environment and hospital sociotechnical complexity as perceived by nurses.
Methods:
a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study was conducted in a hospital in southern Brazil. The Brazilian version of the Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index and the Complexity Characterization Questionnaire were administered to 132 nurses. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 participants, and the data were subjected to thematic analysis. Data integration was achieved through a connection approach.
Results:
the nursing practice environment was found to be favorable, except in the subscale concerning Staffing and Resource Adequacy, where complexity was present in the activities. The three emerging categories explained human and technical aspects related to complexity in the practice environment, quality of care, and patient safety. Unexpected variability was inversely correlated with the practice environment.
Conclusions:
the study results indicate a relationship between these constructs, with implications for the quality and the safety of care.

Objectives:
to analyze the factors associated with maternal well-being during childbirth among postpartum women in Minas Gerais.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study nested within a cohort was conducted with postpartum women in a municipality of Minas Gerais. The Maternal Well-being in Childbirth Scale 2 was used. The prevalence of maternal well-being during childbirth was estimated. The magnitude of the association between maternal distress and care practices was estimated using the Prevalence Ratio (PR), applying Poisson regression.
Results:
a total of 183 postpartum women aged between 15 and 46 years participated, with 26.2%, 27.9%, and 45.9% reporting excellent, adequate, and poor well-being during childbirth care, respectively. Maternal distress was more prevalent among women who underwent cesarean sections (PR = 1.60) and those who did not receive breastfeeding information (PR = 1.59).
Conclusions:
a high prevalence of maternal distress during childbirth was observed, associated with cesarean delivery and the lack of breastfeeding information.

to identify the scientific publications about adverse events in nursing care in adult hospitalized patients and discuss the main adverse events in nursing care.
Method:
Integrative revision with a qualitative approach. The data were collected at LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF and the library SCIELO and were submitted to thematic analysis.
Results:
three categories were developed: Adverse events in nursing care; The main causes of the adverse events in nursing care; Attitude of nursing professionals in face of errors. The main events were identified in nursing care with emphasis on the medication error, the failure to perform dressings and falls of patients. The importance of instruments was emphasized for notification of adverse events in the institutions. However the fear of punishment on professionals stimulates the underreporting of events.
Conclusion:
it is important to discuss effective prevention strategies that ensure patient safety in healthcare institutions.

Objective:
to assess antihypertensive treatment adherence and associated factors in workers from a hospital.
Method:
cross-sectional research, consisting of 108 workers who self-reported as being hypertensive. Associations between sociodemographic, work and health variables were assessed regarding adherence.
Results:
the mean age was 44.2 years, with predominance of the female sex and workers from the nursing area. Through blood pressure measurement, 25% of participants were classified as non-controlled hypertensive patients. Approximately 88% reported taking some sort of medication; however, 79.6% did not adhere to the antihypertensive treatment. In the multiple regression analysis, the independent factors for non-adherence were hypercholesterolemia (OR=8.10; p=0.024) and missing medical appointments (OR=4.06; p=0.048).
Conclusion:
we verified a significant percentage of non-adherence. Since hypertension and cholesterol are asymptomatic diseases that require continuous treatment, hypertensive patients have difficulties to understand the importance of adhering to the treatment, even being health professionals or working in hospitals.

Objective:
To create an instrument to assess the professional competence of nurses in emergencies.
Method:
Methodological study carried out between 2013 and 2016 in a Brazilian university. We used the Pasquali’s model and Psychometrics as references because they allow subjective phenomena to be measured. The survey covered defining steps of the behavior to be measured, the formulation of the items in the instrument, development of instructions for using the instrument and elements necessary to demonstrate validity evidence. Although we have previously performed, in a distinct and consecutive way, the literature review, definition of the Core (or Matrix) Competence and the Competence Profile, and identification of validity with Delphi, essential components to structure a technology, in this step we continued the conclusion of these Theoretical Procedures.
Result:
We created an instrument for self- and/or hetero-evaluation containing: personal/professional/academic characterization, Competency Scale, fictitious cases and actions representing the practice.
Conclusion:
We created a new soft-hard technology based on the validity evidence of contents according to experts of the five regions of Brazil.

Objective:
To analyze the errors made by nursing staff workers who faced ethical-disciplinary actions.
Method:
Document, exploratory, quanti-qualitative research. The information was collected in 13 ethical-disciplinary actions of COREN BA, dated from 1995 to 2010, which had as object of complaint an error made by nursing staff workers. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the qualitative data was analyzed using the Human Error Theory and Sociology of Work.
Results:
Nursing technicians and assistants held most actions. The health institution, through the nursing service coordination, was the predominant complainer and the most frequent shift was daytime.
Final considerations:
The errors made by nursing staff workers demonstrate that error-producing conditions are present in the context of their occurrence in all actions, and understaffing and intensity of work are the most recurrent circumstances.

Of the 14 indirect, only in the observational, two were out of the range, without significant difference (P=0.486).
Conclusion:
Both methods measure WL; the online method developed accompanies activities performed in real time.

The data collection was performed through the evaluation of four nurses, with a double used the instrument with the constitutive and operational definitions of the indicators and magnitudes of the Fall Prevention Behavior Result, while the other pair did not use such definitions.
Results:
When applying the non-parametric analysis of variance by the Friedman test, ten indicators showed statistical differences between the inferences made by the evaluators for each patient. In relation to the intraclass correlation coefficient, confidence interval and p value assigned to each indicator of the scale, most of the indicators were statistically significant.
Conclusions:
The instrument referring to the Fall Behavior Outcome Behavior was considered valid for the study population.

El modelo de validación de diagnóstico de enfermería de Lopes, Silva y Auraújo fue utilizado en esta investigación. Un cuestionario semiestructurado que evaluó la definición, ubicación, características definitorias y factores relacionados con el diagnóstico Mantenimiento Ineficaz de la Salud fue respondido por 22 expertos en diagnóstico de enfermería. El análisis se realizó entre agosto de 2014 y enero de 2015.
Resultados:
Los expertos consideraron la definición propuesta y la ubicación actual en la taxonomía II de NANDA-I, Dominio 1 Promoción de Salud, Clase 2 Control de Salud, como adecuada para el diagnóstico. El nivel de adecuación adoptado fue 85% o p> 0.05 estaba por encima de diez características definitorias y 24 factores relacionados. Los expertos también sugirieron que una característica definitoria debería convertirse en un factor relacionado y que tres factores deberían convertirse en características definitorias.
Conclusión:
Se desarrolló una nueva propuesta para el diagnóstico en estudio después del análisis de expertos.
