Objectives:
to assess sleep quality of patients with heart failure and associated sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study, developed with 88 patients. Sleep quality was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results:
the mean sleep quality score was 8.59 ± 3.60 points. 83% of participants were classified as poor sleepers. The number of hours of sleep was 5.99 ± 1.48. Family income of up to one minimum wage and functional class were significantly associated with poor sleepers. There was a positive correlation between functional class and poor sleep quality.
Conclusions:
a high frequency of poor sleepers was identified. Worse scores were associated with family income and symptomatic functional class. Health interventions are necessary to control sleep quality, especially in relation to health functionality.

Objectives:
to understand nurses’ experience regarding patient safety in mobile pre-hospital care.
Method:
a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, conducted with nurses active in mobile pre-hospital care services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, audio-graved and submitted to Bardin’s content analysis.
Results:
from four thematic categories established, nurses reported the care and management skills necessary to work in this service. They demonstrated a commitment to ensuring safe care for patients, staff and spectators. They highlighted the actions taken to prevent and mitigate incidents. However, they based their experiences on practice protocols and individual actions, expressing the need to improve knowledge about patient safety.
Final Considerations:
mobile pre-hospital care nurses’ experience in relation to patient safety was limited, suggesting the need for training on the subject, alignment of work processes and implementation of strategies, aiming to guarantee safe care.

Objectives:
to compare the knowledge and attitudes of nursing students regarding sexual behavior and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in older adults before and after an educational intervention.
Methods:
this quasi-experimental study involved a convenience sample of 45 nursing students from a public university, conducted in three stages: pre-intervention, intervention, and post-intervention. A questionnaire was used to assess sociodemographic characteristics, academic training, and knowledge and attitudes on the topic. The intervention was an educational web conference. Paired t-test and Wilcoxon test were used for data analysis.
Results:
there was a statistically significant difference in the knowledge and attitude scores of nursing students before and after the educational intervention (p < 0.001). A significant increase was observed in the knowledge score (from 9.3 to 12.2) and attitude score (from 108 to 117.2) in the post-intervention phase.
Conclusions:
the knowledge of nursing students regarding the sexuality of older adults increased after the educational intervention, and their attitudes on the subject became more positive.

Objective:
to analyze the factors associated with urinary tract infection occurrence in institutionalized elderly.
Methods:
this is a cross-sectional, analytical, quantitative study with 116 elderly people from a Nursing Home. Urinary tract infection diagnosis was carried out through urine culture and clinical assessment. Demographic data and associated factors were obtained from medical records. Statistical analysis included bivariate analysis and logistic regression models.
Results:
the factors associated with urinary tract infection (p<0.05) were being female; wheelchair user; diaper use; diuretic use; urinary and bowel incontinence; type 1 diabetes; benign prostatic hyperplasia; dehydration.
Conclusion:
this study revealed that it is important to consider non-modifiable factors such as sex and clinical comorbidities; however, dehydration, a modifiable factor, increased the chances of developing urinary tract infections by 40 times among institutionalized elderly and demands greater attention from the health team.

Objective:
to analyze occupational accidents with exposure of nursing technicians to biological material in a school hospital.
Method:
nursing technicians were invited to answer a questionnaire related to occupational accidents with biological material.
Results:
275 professionals from 9 hospital units participated. 76% reported having suffered an accident and the variables “age group” and “employment regime” showed a significant association for accidents (p<0.05). Those hired by the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT - Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho) employment regime were 3.5 times more likely to suffer accidents (p=0.04) and institutional capacity building did not show statistical significance (p>0.05).
Conclusion:
the increase in the number of training did not ensure the reduction of occupational accidents with biological material; and nursing technicians under the age of 30 were more vulnerable. Professionals with a CLT labor contract were more affected than the statutory employees.

Objective:
To analyze whether user-centered nursing practices in TB DOT are being carried out and are contributing to democracy.
Method:
A cross-sectional, exploratory, descriptive study with 123 nurses in three capital cities with high incidence of TB (Manaus-AM, João Pessoa-PB, Porto Alegre-RS) in Brazil. Data were collected from January to June 2014. Descriptive and multiple correspondence analyzes were used.
Results:
It was identified that the most user-centered care actions had scores below 50%, considered unfavorable to the exercise of democracy. In the analysis of the general user-centered practice score per municipality, Manaus and João Pessoa presented unfavorable results, and the municipality of Porto Alegre was partially favorable.
Conclusion:
The three municipalities need to advance in the implementation of user-centered practices in DOT, because their health system still has difficulties and challenges to overcome.
