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.

Views0Objetivo:
descrever a epidemiologia dos casos de CA-MRSA no Brasil de forma a compreender sua ocorrência, fatores de risco associados e formas de manejo em relação à situação mundial.
Método:
revisão integrativa e para seleção dos estudos utilizou-se as bases de dados: Scopus, Science direct, Isi Web of Knowledge, PUBMED e BVS.
Resultados:
foram identificados dez artigos nacionais que descreveram 21 casos de CA-MRSA principalmente em crianças, adolescentes e adultos com quadro de infecção de pele e tecidos moles evoluindo para infecções graves relacionados ao clone Oceania Southwest Pacific Clone (OSPC) que resultaram em hospitalização.
Conclusão:
apesar do CA-MRSA ser considerado um micro-organismo de relevância mundial verificou-se a escassez de dados publicados sobre sua epidemiologia no Brasil, o que dificultam o delineamento da realidade do país frente ao CA-MRSA.

to describe the main non-pharmacological interventions for pain relief in newborns available in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Method:
an exploratory search of the MedLine, Lilacs and Scielo online databases was conducted to retrieve references of studies published from 2004 to 2013.
Results:
several non-pharmacological interventions were shown to be effective, to represent low risk for neonates and to have a low operational cost. The ones most often discussed in the literature were: oral administration of glucose/sucrose, non-nutritive sucking, breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact, facilitated tucking and swaddling.
Conclusion:
healthcare teams should be familiar with these methods and use them more effectively in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit daily routines, so as to ensure that newborns receive qualified and more human care.

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.

The analysis of the results of application of instrument carried out in a pilot test, analysis of evidence of instrument validity, literature review, focus group with the instrument’s developers and interview with the target audience were carried out.
Results:
factorial analysis showed three existing factors in the construct. Seven nurses participated, discussing the instrument reformulation, and 20 mothers reported their perceptions about the care received during childbirth, generating five thematic units.
Final Considerations:
instrument improvement occurred through item and response scale reconstruction and reorganization, in addition to application of a pre-test with the target population, resulting in an instrument composed of 13 items.

Objective:
to verify the structure of factors of an instrument to measure the Heart Valve Disease Impact on Daily Life (IDCV) when applied to coronary artery disease patients.
Method:
the study included 153 coronary artery disease patients undergoing outpatient follow-up care. The IDCV structure of factors was initially assessed by means of confirmatory factor analysis and, subsequently, by exploratory factor analysis. The Varimax rotation method was used to estimate the main components of analysis, eigenvalues greater than one for extraction of factors, and factor loading greater than 0.40 for selection of items. Internal consistency was estimated using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Results: confirmatory factor analysis did not confirm the original structure of factors of the IDCV. Exploratory factor analysis showed three dimensions, which together explained 78% of the measurement variance.
Conclusion:
future studies with expansion of case selection are necessary to confirm the IDCV new structure of factors.

Objetivo:
investigar la asociación entre la fragilidad y la internación e institucionalización, en un estudio de acompañamiento de residentes ancianos.
Método:
el estudio de acompañamiento fue realizado en 2008 y 2013, con ancianos de ambos sexos, de 65 años o más, los cuales vivían en la comunidad. El procedimiento de muestreo realizado fue probabilístico, con agrupamiento en dos etapas. Fueron entrevistados 512 ancianos en 2008 y 262 en 2013. Datos socioeconómicos y demográficos, morbilidad relatada por los mismos y datos específicos de internación e institucionalización han sido utilizados. La fragilidad fue medida por la escala Edmond Frail Scale (EFS) y la capacidad funcional por la escala Functional Independence Measure (FIM).
Resultados:
El promedio de la puntuación EFS fue mayor entre los residentes ancianos que fueron internados y hospitalizados, siendo estadísticamente significativa en los dos años investigados.
Conclusión:
La confirmación de la asociación entre la fragilidad y la internación e institucionalización refuerza la importancia del tema y enfatiza la fragilidad como un instrumento importante en la evaluación de los riesgos para estos eventos adversos.

Objective:
to investigate the association between frailty with hospitalization and institutionalization in a follow-up study of elderly residents.
Method:
the follow-up study was performed in 2008 and 2013 with elderly of both genders, aged 65 years and older who were living in the community-dwelling. The sampling procedure performed was probabilistic, with dual-stage clustering. In 2008, 515 elderly people were interviewed and, in 2013, 262. We used the socioeconomic and demographic data, self-reported morbidity, specific data of hospitalization and institutionalization. Frailty was measured by the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS), and functional capacity through the Functional Independence Measure.
Results:
we found the mean gross EFS score was higher among resident elderly who were hospitalized and institutionalized and was statistically significant in both investigated years.
Conclusion:
the confirmation of association between frailty and hospitalization and institutionalization reinforces the importance of the subject, and highlights frailty as an important tool for risk estimates for these adverse events.

Reductions of 75.0% in pressure ulcer rates, 10.5% in the number of falls and 50.0% in infections due to indwelling catheter use were also observed.
