Objective:
to identify nursing diagnoses in intensive care unit (ICU) patients by means of a cross-mapping of terms contained in nursing records with the NANDA-I taxonomy.
Method:
an exploratory, descriptive study with a retrospective analysis of nursing records in 256 medical records of patients that were hospitalized in the general ICU of a hospital in the western border of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Terms indicating conditions demanding nursing interventions were collected from the records; cross-mapping of these terms with the NANDA-I taxonomy diagnoses was performed and confirmed in a nursing focus group. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics.
Results:
a total of 832 terms and expressions referring to 52 different diagnoses in 9 of the 13 domains of the NANDA-I taxonomy were identified.
Conclusion:
the present study enabled the identification of nursing diagnoses in patients hospitalized in ICUs, affecting care management, the training process of experts in the area, and information systems.

Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(2):290-297
DOI 10.1590/0034-7167.2016690212i
Views0ABSTRACT
Objective:
to identify the average direct cost (ADC) on the direct labor (DL) for nurses and the consumption of materials and solutions used in performing dressings for pressure ulcers (PU) in hospitalized patients.
Methods:
case study, exploratory and descriptive case conducted in a teaching hospital. For six months, 228 dressings were performed for the treatment of PU patients. We calculated the cost by multiplying the time spent by nurses by the DL unit cost, adding to the cost of materials and solutions consumed.
Results:
the dressings ADC of PU corresponds to US$ 19.18 (PUs-category I); US$ 6.50 (PUs-category II); US$ 12.34 (PUs-category III); US$ 5.84 (PUs-category IV); US$ 9.52 (PUs-unclassifiable) and US$ 3.76 (PU suspected deep tissue injury).
Conclusion:
the methodology used can be reproduced in different hospital settings for the development of other studies to expand and complement the knowledge gained.

RESEARCHPrevention of vertical mother-to-child transmission of HIV: care and adhesion provided by couples
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(2):275-281
DOI 10.1590/0034-7167.2016690210i
Views0ABSTRACT
Objective:
to unveil the existential movement of a couple when performing vertical HIV transmission prophylaxis.
Method:
qualitative research, using Martin Heidegger’s phenomenological approach. A phenomenological interview was conducted with 14 participants between December/2011 and February/2012 in the outpatient facilities of an university hospital, Brazil. A comprehensive and interpretative heideggerian analysis was developed.
Results:
the couple understands that they have followed the guidance of the health professionals as indicated. By not being able to breastfeed, the woman did not fail to be a mother, but it was also not a complete experience. The senses of the occupation of the couple-being unfolded to the prophylactic treatment and facticity due to the fact of not breastfeeding.
Conclusion:
we indicate the need to rethink care, proposing a working relationship that transcends the impersonal that dictates about what the couple must deal with, enabling their active participation in care decisions and actions.

Objective:
to investigate the existence of a relationship between attitudinal profiles and the pleasure/suffering dynamic in workers of Mental Health Services.
Method:
a quantitative, descriptive-analytical, correlational and cross-sectional study conducted in 2014. We used three instruments: characterization questionnaire, Opinions on Mental Illness Scale and Pleasure and Suffering Indicators at Work Scale, answered by 80 workers of the Network for Psychosocial Care of Alfenas, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Results:
Authoritarianism proved to be the predominant profile. As for the pleasure/suffering at work, Gratification was considered adequate, and indicators such as Freedom, Wear and Insecurity were considered moderate critical. There were positive correlations between the most favorable attitudes and pleasure indicators at work. The values of both scales showed a relationship with socio-demographic and professional variables.
Conclusion:
the less favorable attitudes are prevalent and, in spite of suffering being present, these professionals feel gratified about their work.

Objective:
To analyze overweight in young adult students from the individual dimension of vulnerability, especially its interpersonal and subjective markers.
Method:
An analytical quantitative study was performed with 560 young adults from 26 schools in a capital city in Northeastern Brazil. After obtaining data to administer specific questionnaires, logistic regression was used to identify markers of individual vulnerability.
Results:
In the bivariate analysis, overweight showed a statistically significant association with self-perception of health, satisfaction with body image and self-perception of overweight, the latter remaining in the final regression model.
Conclusion:
It can be mainly concluded that self-perception of overweight is distorted when compared to one’s actual body weight and, for this reason, young adults are vulnerable to dysfunctional health states. However, it was confirmed that this health condition must be understood in an individual and contextual perspective.

Objective:
to identify the knowledge and ability of caregivers on hand hygiene in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Method:
a prospective cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was used to identify the knowledge and it was observed the hygiene technique performance. Data were collected in two units (autologous and allogeneic transplant).
Results:
the 37 participants recognized the importance of hand hygiene and 95.5% related to removal of dirt or infection prevention. 91.9% stated that it was important to clean their hands with soap and water when entering and leaving the room, and 64.9% understood that it was necessary to apply alcoholic solution after washing. On average, the caregivers scored 6.16 steps, when demonstrating the washing technique and 3.91 steps in the friction with alcoholic solution.
Conclusion:
although they recognize the importance of the procedure, there are deficits related to the moment and the correct way of doing it, evidencing the need for strategies aimed at improving this process.

Objectives:
to discuss the (in)visibility of children with special healthcare needs and their families in the Primary Health Care scenario.
Methods:
experience report about the difficulties faced by researchers from different regions of Brazil to locate children with special healthcare needs in the scope of primary care.
Results:
the main reason for these children and their families to be “unknown” and, therefore, not assisted in PHC, is the fact that they are followed-up by institutions/outpatient clinics and specialized and/or public rehabilitation clinics, or even because they have private health insurance.
Final Considerations:
transferring care responsibility to the Primary Health Care teams to specialized and rehabilitation institutions may be related to the lack of knowledge of the care demands of this group, as well as to the relevance of care centered on rehabilitation and the specialty instead of the long-term care, one of the features of primary health care.
