Objective:
to describe the mortality from external causes, by Health Regions in Pernambuco, during the periods of2001-2003 and 2011-2013.
Method:
descriptive study with data from the Mortality Information System. For data analysis we used percentage, percentage variation and proportion ratio.
Results:
mortality from external causes reduced in Pernambuco, however, mortality increased in some health regions of the countryside. Increased numbers of deaths from accidents and event of undetermined intent were registered. There was an increase of deaths classified as “other/unspecified” event of undetermined intent.
Conclusion:
there was a change in the spatial distribution of mortality from external causes moving to Pernambuco countryside regions. We found necessity for data classification regarding deaths from external causes and strengthening of the monitoring.

Objective:
to evaluate scientifi c production, patents and human resources training of nursing researchers with scholarships of research productivity (PQ) in National Counsel for Technological and Scientific Development (CNPq) in the 2000-2012 historic series; to verify the association between this production and characteristics of the researchers regarding gender, education and origin.
Methods:
this analytic cross-sectional study whose inclusion criterion was to be a nursing PQ/CNPq researcher during the period in question. We analyzed curriculum lattes of 208 researchers with scholarships between 2000 and 2012. For statistical analyses we used the SPSS® software.
Results:
the study points to female predominance, concentration in the Southeast region and existence of an association between scientific production, patents and human resources training and education, gender and origin of the researcher.
Conclusion:
the study presents a significant participation of nursing PQ/CNPq researchers in scientific production and in human resources training, and a modest involvement in the production of patents.

Objective:
to analyze the factors related to the structure, process and outcomes of organ and tissue donation for transplantation.
Method:
analytic, longitudinal and quantitative study, conducted in six hospitals in Natal/RN, between August 2010 and February 2011, with 65 potential donors (PD), by means of no participant observation structured script.
Results:
regarding the donation structure, there was deficiencies of physical resources (temperature control), materials (mobile radiology) human resources (nurse technicians) and lack of adequate records and care protocols. In the process of donation, the biggest problems were related to the evaluation stages, brain death diagnosis, maintenance and documentation, with greater proportion of care for the non-donor.
Conclusion:
the structure and process possibly determined the result of 72.3% no donation implementation of potential donors, indices compatible with the national data, but contradictory to those of Spain, which manages to transplant organs of 86.7% of its donors.

to learn coordinators and professors’ conceptions from undergraduate Nursing courses of public universities in northern Brazil regarding collective health and to know the necessary competencies to work in the area.
Method:
data were collected through semi-structured interviews and subjected to thematic analysis.
Results:
the participants consider population health as an essential area for the training of nurses, where professionals have autonomy and confidence. It is an interdisciplinary, intersectoral and multidisciplinary field, with extensive scope, that studies the Unified Health System (SUS). The competencies to work in collective health identified were: to work at the SUS, to understand the health and disease process and its determinants and to develop actions towards integrality, to conduct health education, researches and systematization of the nursing care.
Conclusion:
the variety of conceptions about collective health among participants might reflect in training of nurses and their working area.

Objective:
to identify the complexity of the nursing care of inpatient surgical unit patients, using the Perroca patients classification scale.
Method:
a descriptive, cross-sectional study with 546 reviews of 187 patients between October and December of 2012. Data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and the Kappa test, to measure interrater agreement.
Results:
a predominance of patients in the categories of semi-intensive (46.5%) and intermediate care (44.0%) was found, with a prevalence of unassisted bath (58.4%) in the total sample, and bed bath (69.3%) in the semi-intensive care patients. The level of agreement between two pairs of raters was considered good.
Conclusion:
the systematic application of the instrument was useful as a complementary measure of the level of patient dependence, and may contribute to the improvement of the working process, refl ecting on management decision-making with regard to nursing workload

Objective:
to assess whether dietary intake of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) meets national and international recommendations and whether there is a relationship with the levels of stress.
Method:
a cross-sectional study with 150 patients with ACS, who were interviewed with the Food Frequency Questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale-10.
Results:
daily intake above the recommendations: cholesterol (92%), fiber (42.7%) and protein (68%); intake below the recommendations: potassium (88%) and carbohydrates (68.7%); intake according to the recommendations: sodium (53.3%) and lipids (53.3%). Most patients with inadequate dietary intake (54%) were stressed or highly stressed. There was a signifi cant association between a lower stress level and a higher fi ber intake.
Conclusion:
in patients with ACS, dietary intake did not meet the guideline recommendations, and a lower fi ber intake occurs concomitantly with higher stress levels. Educational efforts can support patients in dietary intake adequacy and stress control.
