Objective:
to understand the experience of mothers of technology-dependent children as regards pharmaceutical care.
Method:
this was a qualitative, descriptive-exploratory study developed based on open interviews using a structured characterization tool, and applied during home visits to 12 mothers caring for technology-dependent children. The data was submitted to inductive content analysis.
Results:
this study is split into two themes: (i) maternal overload during pharmaceutical care, demonstrating the need to administer drugs continuously and the repercussions of this exhaustive care on the caregivers; (ii) the ease or difficulty of access to the medicines required, showing informal strategies and support networks.
Conclusion:
pharmaceutical care is a daily challenge expressed in maternal overload and difficulty accessing the drugs, made worse by failures in the care network and coordinated care.

Objective:
to translate and validate to Portuguese the Debriefing Experience Scale jointly with individuals that used high-fidelity simulation in learning.
Method:
methodological and exploratory study for an instrument translation and validation. For the validation process, the event “III Workshop Brazil – Portugal: Care Delivery to Critical Patients” was created.
Results:
103 nurses attended. Validity and reliability of the scale, the correlation pattern among variables, the sampling adequacy test, and the sphericity test showed good results. Since there was no relationship among the groups established in the exploratory factor analysis, the option was to follow the division established by the original version.
Conclusion:
the version of the instrument was called Escala de Experiência com o Debriefing. The results showed good psychometric properties and a good potential for use. However, further studies will contribute to consolidate the validity of the scale and strengthen its potential use.

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.

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.
