Objectives:
to understand the perspective of nurses on the use of telemonitoring in the management of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension in primary care.
Methods:
this qualitative research involved sixteen nurses from eight municipalities in Paraná. Data were collected between November 2022 and January 2023 through inperson or remote interviews, which were audio-recorded and subjected to content analysis.
Results:
according to the nurses, telemonitoring enhances users’ knowledge about these conditions, communication and connection with the team, and productivity. However, the lack of electronic resources and equipment, high staff turnover, low user adherence, and the limited availability of professional time present significant challenges.
Final Considerations:
the effective implementation and operation of telemonitoring in the management of people with diabetes and hypertension involve both potential benefits and barriers. It is essential to have the availability of human and technological resources, managerial support, and the commitment of professionals and users.

Objectives:
to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses regarding blood culture collection.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study was conducted in five Brazilian public hospitals with 112 nurses. Data were collected using an adapted questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results:
nurses who did not consider themselves capable of collecting blood cultures had a 72% lower chance of performing the collection at the recommended site and an 83% lower chance of using the same needle for blood inoculation into the vials. Nurses working in the emergency department had a 75% lower chance of knowing the international benchmark for blood culture contamination rates, and those with less than 5 years in the position decreased their chance of accuracy in this matter by 79%.
Conclusions:
there are gaps in the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses regarding blood culture collection. Standardization of the technique, periodic education, supervision and guidance of the collection team, and process auditing are recommended coping strategies.

Objectives:
to analyze the social representations of patients with cancer regarding oncologic surgery.
Methods:
a qualitative study based on Social Representation Theory was conducted with 126 participants between October 2021 and May 2022 in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro. A characterization questionnaire, free evocations of the inducing term “surgery”, and semi-structured interviews with 60 participants were applied. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel® and IRaMuTeQ.
Results:
the central core of the representation is composed of fear, cure, hope, and removing the disease. The analysis of interviews resulted in six classes that highlight the social changes caused by treatment as well as the need for a support network to cope with the surgical process.
Final Considerations:
the representations reflect fear and hope towards the procedure and the desire to remove the disease, thus translating the cure through surgery.

Objective:
To identify self-care demands of men with sickle cell disease and priapism and describe self-care measures in light of Orem’s Self-Care Theory.
Method:
This is a descriptive exploratory study with qualitative approach conducted with nine men with a history of sickle cell disease and priapism. Data were analyzed using Orem’s Self-Care Theory.
Results:
Some demands were identified: from universal self-care – difficulty in social interaction and solitude, changes in self-image, self-esteem and sexual activity; from development – the experience with priapism and little knowledge about the pathophysiology of the disease; regarding health deviations – pain crises.
Conclusion:
Orem’s theory allowed to identify self-care demands, which are essential for the nursing care provided for men with priapism. Nursing has an essential role in the measures for the different demands presented.

Applied methodological research based on Roger Pressman’s Software Engineering, developed in three cycles: planning, composed of the definition of the database prototyping and modelling; development of the navigation interface; and development of functional expressions and programming.
Result:
The software consists of administrative and nursing consultation screens. In the history, there is the option of undertaking the first and next consultation; nursing diagnoses are suggested by the system after entering information and can be selected by nurses. Interventions for diagnoses are suggested and can be chosen by nurses after structuring the medical plan.
Conclusion:
It is believed that the introduction of computer technology for nursing consultation brings several contributions, such as standardization, integration with different information systems, and continuous update.

Objective:
to investigate the patients’ experience in the cardiac surgery preoperative period under the Heideggerian perspective.
Method:
exploratory qualitative research. Twelve patients were interviewed, from March to April, 2016, while they waited for myocardial revascularization surgery or valve replacement surgery.
Results:
the analysis of the speeches allowed finding two dimensions of the being-there-patient-waiting-for-cardiac surgery, two meanings of the beingness: being-there-in-a-reduced-world and being-there-in-a-unknown-world.
Conclusion:
the experiences were related to alterations and limitations coming from the surgery, potential generators of anxiety, depression and existential conflicts in the cardiac surgery preoperative period. Reinforcing the care as being-with-the-other is suggested, considering the dimensions referred to and the patient’s integrality.

Objective:
To adapt the contents of the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) tool to assist patients with cancer.
Method:
Methodological research that according to the Delphi Technique is a method aiming at the validation of content through agreement of experts.
Results:
It took two rounds of opinion of experts, which added content contributions without modifying the structure and score of the original tool. The level of agreement ranged from 71 to 86%, and biological factors and assistance were more suggested: Monitoring and controls; Laboratory investigations; Support and care for family members and patients; Intravenous replacement; Renal support; Management activities.
Conclusion:
A high level of complexity of patients with cancer, and the demand for care and biopsychosocial-spiritual care was diagnosed. This tool will enable the measurement of the workload of the Oncology Nursing team, which can contribute to the staffing dimensioning.
