Objectives:
to understand the nursing students’ professional values in different Brazilian universities and verify a correlation between the “Professional Value” and the sociodemographic variables.
Methods:
quantitative, cross-sectional, and descriptive study conducted through an electronic questionnaire with a Professional Values Scale (NPVS-3). Participants were Nursing students of all semesters from three universities – two in the Southeast region and one in the North region.
Results:
of the 337 participating Nursing students, 282 were female. The Caring dimension presented the highest score (mean=46.61), and Professionalism, the lowest score (mean=34.65). A statistically significant association was detected between the Caring dimension, “university where is attending,” and “gender.”
Conclusions:
the results indicate the Caring dimension as the one containing the most scored professional values since the nurses’ training, and the relation of those values in such dimension is more significant in the female sample.

Objectives:
to identify how people with diabetes assess the care offered by Primary Care teams.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study based on structured interviews with the application of the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness instrument to people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Data were submitted to statistical analysis.
Results:
451 individuals participated in the study, more than half aged 60 years or older (64.0%); 63.9% had been diagnosed for more than five years; and 23.9% used insulin. The average score obtained was 2.5, which indicated little involvement in self-care and low support for the care of the chronic condition by the Family Health Strategy team, and was higher among women and people with a partner.
Conclusions:
people with diabetes consider that they do not receive individualized treatment, with dialogue and discussion for setting goals, and that they are not prepared for self-managing their health condition.

Objectives:
to map and synthesize nursing theories and conceptual frameworks that have been applied in the practice of nursing care for stroke patients in hospital settings.
Methods:
a scoping review was conducted in October 2022 using the MEDLINE (accessed via PubMed), CINAHL, Scielo, and Web of Science databases, following The Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines.
Results:
nine studies incorporated six nursing theories and three conceptual frameworks, which were employed to enhance stroke patient care. The objective of these theories and conceptual frameworks was to facilitate the identification of the patient’s psychobiological, psychosocial, and psychospiritual needs, elucidate the nurse’s role and expand their perspective on rehabilitation, and acknowledge the survivor’s process of transition.
Final Considerations:
this mapping exercise identified major nursing theories, middle-range theories, and conceptual frameworks applied to the care of stroke patients.

Objectives:
to analyze the learning strategies used by nursing students from a public university, in remote teaching, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study developed with nursing students who attended remote teaching classes. The sample was obtained by convenience and data were collected online, with 112 participants. Student and Mann-Whitney tests were performed for data analysis.
Results:
the most frequently used learning strategies were self-regulatory and cognitive. There was moderate use of interpersonal help-seeking and emotional control strategies. Male students, with a private study environment and good internet connection, used emotional control strategies more frequently.
Conclusions:
self-regulatory and cognitive learning strategies, appropriate for higher education, were frequently used by nursing students, which is an important tool for adapting these students to the university context.

Objectives:
to discuss the content of manuals, with emphasis on orthopedics, in support of the development of nursing care culture.
Methods:
cultural-historical method articulated with document analysis technique. The sources were nursing manuals – Portuguese, French, English, and Spanish – from 1875 to 1928.
Results:
this study pointed to 12 works – 6 authored by physicians, 2 by nurses, 3 institutional, and 1 by a Sister of Charity – that presented, in a transversal way, the professionalization process initiated in Europe. The manuals addressed first aid care and immobilization methods, from the simplest, such as improvised splints, to the application of plaster casts.
Conclusions:
the nurses’ work, even in a limited capacity, showed that they were able to observe warning signs so that doctors could act, with some exceptions.

Objective:
to analyze the relationship of occupational health nurses with the other members of the Specialized Service in Safety Engineering and Occupational Medicine (SESMT) and characterize joint actions of these professionals in occupational health.
Method:
qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study with 34 professionals of seven companies from the South Macroregion of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Interviews and observations were conducted for content analysis of Bardin.
Results:
the SESMTs are multidisciplinary and intersectoral workers. Nurses have working relations of an interpersonal, technical/legal, and management of logistics/organizational nature, influenced by the technical division of work and by the division in the work environment of the staff, which distances areas, generates conflicts, and fragments the actions of the service.
Conclusion:
SESMT faces challenges to develop a work befitting their legal objectives, once staff and companies need to understand the importance of interdisciplinarity for the success of actions on the workers’ health and safety.

Objective:
to understand the biosecurity social representations by primary care nursing professionals and analyze how they articulate with quality of care.
Methods:
exploratory and qualitative research based on social representation theory. The study participants were 36 nursing workers from primary health care in a state capital in the Northeast region of Brazil. The data were analyzed by descending hierarchical classification.
Results:
five classes were obtained: occupational accidents suffered by professionals; occupational exposure to biological agents; biosecurity management in primary health care; the importance of personal protective equipment; and infection control and biosecurity.
Conclusion:
the different positions taken by the professionals seem to be based on a field of social representations related to the concept of biosecurity, namely exposure to accidents and risks to which they are exposed. However, occupational accidents are reported as inherent to the practice.

Objective:
to conduct the clinical validation of nursing diagnosis “Willingness for improved infant development”.
Method:
a cross-sectional study, conducted in a Centro de Saúde da Família (Family Health Care center), with 45 healthy breastfed infants. The instrument for collecting the data was prepared based on the literature and validated by nurses. It contained the following variables: sociodemographic, gestational, and obstetrical variables; breastfed infant’s nutritional profile; evaluation of the defining characteristics of the proposed nursing diagnosis.
Results:
all the defining characteristics were found to have high sensitivity values (>90%), positive predictive values (>65%), negative predictive values (>66%); however, low specificity values (<32%). In this study, the defining characteristics we found to have estimates (>0.50) within the ROC curve, which provides good sensitivity and specificity.
Conclusion:
this study verified the structural elements of the proposed nursing diagnosis to be relevant in the clinical context, which justifies the need for its being employed with children, taking into account its contribution to improving nursing care.

RESEARCHOral drugs at a hospital unit: adequacy for use via enteral feeding tubes
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(5):847-854
DOI 10.1590/0034-7167-2015-0081

Objective:
to describe the profile of standardized oral drugs at a hospital unit and assess their adequacy for use via enteral feeding tubes, according to recommendations from the literature.
Method:
descriptive study, with data on drugs collected from the Pharmacy Service Dispensing System. Specific recommendations for the use of these drugs via enteral feeding tubes were found after searches in literary databases, books, manuals, guidelines and package insert collections.
Results:
among the 236 dispensed oral drugs, 86% were in solid form; of those, 32 were “non-crushable”, with the liquid form available at the institution. Twenty-eight drugs with potential interactions with enteral nutrition were identified. Sixty percent of those presented specific recommendations on their administration via enteral feeding tube.
Conclusion:
the joint participation of multidisciplinary nutritional therapy and care teams and the implementation of programs for continuous training are suggested strategies for the prevention of potential problems in the administration of drugs in the hospital setting.
