Objective:
a qualitative study that followed the principles of the grounded theory in order to analyze the professional identity of nursing academics through the analysis of the most disturbing critical incidents.
Method:
semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven nurses who worked as professors and researchers in a private university in Barcelona.
Results:
the resulting empirical material was organized into two categories: characterization of critical incidents and responsiveness to the incident.
Conclusion:
the professional identity of nurses regarding the academic area is still under construction and inexperience is the major obstacle in the management of critical incidents in the teaching career.

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.

Objective:
to analyze the development and mobilization of relational skills central to the caring process among nursing students throughout their professional training.
Method:
this was a quantitative study, descriptive and cross-sectional in design. The sample consisted of nursing undergraduate students from the Higher School of Health Sciences, in the city of Évora, Portugal. Data were collected using the previously validated Helping Relational Skills Inventory.
Results:
the students gradually acquired “generic skills”, “communication skills” and “contact skills”, presenting the highest mean score in the last year of the program. However, the highest mean score for the “empathetic skills” subscale was presented by second-year students.
Conclusion:
age and year in program were found to be decisive variables regarding the acquisition of specifi c skills (empathetic and communication) by nursing students.

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 analyze the associations between bullying participation profiles (victims, bullies, and bully-victims) and the risk for eating disorders in adolescents.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study was conducted with 491 students, aged 10 to 18 years. Data were collected through the application of the Peer Victimization and Aggression Scale and the Eating Attitudes Test, and were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Spearman correlation.
Results:
the risk for eating disorders was higher for the victim profile, both for boys and girls. For both sexes, physical victimization, verbal victimization, and relational victimization were significantly associated with variables related to the risk for eating disorders. For boys, there were also significant associations related to aggression.
Conclusions:
student victims, especially boys, are more vulnerable to the consequences of bullying in relation to the risk for eating disorders.

Objective:
to analyze the association between burnout and sociodemographic, work factors, lifestyle habits and health conditions of military police officers in a municipality in the state of Paraná, Brazil.
Method:
cross-sectional research with 131 military police officers. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software and the R program. Chi-square, Fisher’s exact and Poisson Generalized Linear Model tests were used.
Results:
most participants (65.6%) had a high level of burnout. In relation to protective factors, those who carried out leisure activities had a 33.6% chance of not developing burnout. Conjugality was also a protective factor. Not practicing physical activity and leisure activities are factors that can contribute to the occurrence of burnout.
Conclusions:
important factors and high rates of burnout were observed in the police officers investigated. It is necessary to implement public health policies to reduce burnout with attention focused on this professional category.

Objective:
Develop and validate the content of an instrument for patient risk classification in emergency services of Primary Health Care.
Method:
The study included two stages: item generation and content validity. A literature review and retrospective analysis of medical records were conducted to create the instrument items. The Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was used to assess agreement among judges during content validation.
Results:
In the first and second rounds, 75 and 71 judges validated the risk classification instrument, respectively. The minimum adherence score for the latent variable item based on the final number of judges was 0.22 and 0.18; thus, 52 items, divided into three classification categories (red, orange, and yellow), were retained.
Conclusion:
The instrument was considered valid regarding clarity, relevance, pertinence, and agreement regarding the severity indicated in the item.

Conclusion:
The initiation of the sepsis protocol for all women meeting the criteria was confirmed. However, the steps were not fully implemented as recommended by the institutional protocol, and the recommended broad-spectrum antibiotic was not administered.

Results:
regarding sociodemographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics, the two groups did not show statistically significant differences. After assessment in 30 days, an effect was observed for both treated groups, but for the experimental group, greater effectiveness in terms of the type of tissue in the bed, type of exudate, edge characteristics, microbial content and pain.
