Objective:
to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with frailty in non-institutionalized older adults living in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Method:
data were collected in their homes, in 2013, based on a census cluster sampling. Demographic and socioeconomic variables, morbidities, utilization of health care services, and scores on the Edmonton Fragility Scale were analyzed. The adjusted prevalence ratios were obtained using the Poisson regression multiple analysis with robust variance.
Results:
the prevalence of frailty was 41.3%. The variables associated with frailty were: female gender, very old age, education of less than four years, not having been hospitalized in the last 12 months, having a caregiver, falling in the prior year, diabetes mellitus, cardiac disease, and osteoarticular disease.
Conclusion:
the prevalence of frailty was high. Some factors consist of modifiable conditions, which should encourage health actions aimed at this group.

Objective:
to analyze the factors that influenced the choice for nursing made by graduates from the first class of the Undergraduate Nursing and Obstetrics Course of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in the 1970s and to understand the senses and meanings of being a nurse when choosing this profession.
Method:
a qualitative socio-historical study was performed, using oral history to collect data.
Results:
the analysis generated the following categories: “To be a nurse: a professional choice” and “The ideal of being a nurse: senses and meanings”. The senses of “being a nurse” are associated with graduates’ perspective of this profession and the meanings included the traditional conceptions that have historically affected it.
Conclusion:
professional choice was influenced by family and work expectations and the nursing course had an effect on the construction of nurses’ professional identity.

Objective:
to identify nurses’ knowledge and practice in the framework of the Family Health Strategy program with regard to social participation in health.
Method:
qualitative study which had the Family Health Units in a municipality of Minas Gerais as setting. Nine nurses participated in the study, and they were interviewed individually in July and August 2014. Data were collected and analyzed according to the content analysis technique and interpreted in the light of Paulo Freire’s ontology and critical pedagogy.
Results:
the analyzed statements showed that nurses bring along conceptual and behavioral inconsistencies which need to be equalized, so their knowledge and practice can mediate the challenging construction of participatory management in health.
Conclusion:
an improvement in nurses’ training is suggested, both academically and professionally, aiming at strengthening their political role in the process of consolidation of social participation in the Brazilian Unified Health System.

Objective:
to characterize the patients’ anxiety in the preoperative period of heart surgery.
Method:
We conducted a cross-sectional study in which 106 patients, between one and five days from the date of surgery, were interviewed using a socio-demographic questionnaire and the Beck Anxiety Inventory.
Results:
The evaluated patients accounted for 59.4% (63) in minimal anxiety and 19.8% (21) in the range considered severe, and the sample had a mean in the mild anxiety level (15.8±19.79). The women had scores (22.13±23.41) significantly (p=0.003) higher than men (10.76±14.71); as well as patients who had undergone previous heart surgery (24.4±28.05 X 13.14±15.74). There was no significant difference between older adults and younger patients, nor in terms of weight variations, presence of diabetes, or alcoholism.
Conclusion:
We reinforces the importance of nurses in recognizing the preoperative anxiety and intervene through strategies of health education and nursing visits.

Objective:
to describe the profile of drug addicts attended in a mental health service, the frequency of suicidal behavior among the participants and the associations between these two problems.
Method:
an exploratory, retrospective and descriptive study based on a quantitative approach, and data collected from medical records of patients with F10-F19 diagnoses according to the ICD-10 treated in this service in 2013. We expected to identify a possible association between independent variables (family, psychiatric and personal history) and the dependent variable (suicidal behavior).
Results:
Most of the individuals were men, single, with a low educational attainment, unemployed and aged between 15 and 45 years; 43.90% had a record of suicidal behavior.
Conclusion:
drug addicts with suicidal behavior are young people under the age of 30 presenting psychiatric comorbidity, mood disorders and/or depression, presence of family conflict, important dates coinciding with the suicidal behavior and mothers with psychiatric history.

Objective:
to analyze the factors associated with urinary tract infection occurrence in institutionalized elderly.
Methods:
this is a cross-sectional, analytical, quantitative study with 116 elderly people from a Nursing Home. Urinary tract infection diagnosis was carried out through urine culture and clinical assessment. Demographic data and associated factors were obtained from medical records. Statistical analysis included bivariate analysis and logistic regression models.
Results:

Objective:
to analyze occupational accidents with exposure of nursing technicians to biological material in a school hospital.
Method:
nursing technicians were invited to answer a questionnaire related to occupational accidents with biological material.
Results:
275 professionals from 9 hospital units participated. 76% reported having suffered an accident and the variables “age group” and “employment regime” showed a significant association for accidents (p<0.05). Those hired by the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT - Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho) employment regime were 3.5 times more likely to suffer accidents (p=0.04) and institutional capacity building did not show statistical significance (p>0.05).
Conclusion:
the increase in the number of training did not ensure the reduction of occupational accidents with biological material; and nursing technicians under the age of 30 were more vulnerable. Professionals with a CLT labor contract were more affected than the statutory employees.

Objective:
To analyze whether user-centered nursing practices in TB DOT are being carried out and are contributing to democracy.
Method:
A cross-sectional, exploratory, descriptive study with 123 nurses in three capital cities with high incidence of TB (Manaus-AM, João Pessoa-PB, Porto Alegre-RS) in Brazil. Data were collected from January to June 2014. Descriptive and multiple correspondence analyzes were used.
Results:
It was identified that the most user-centered care actions had scores below 50%, considered unfavorable to the exercise of democracy. In the analysis of the general user-centered practice score per municipality, Manaus and João Pessoa presented unfavorable results, and the municipality of Porto Alegre was partially favorable.
Conclusion:
The three municipalities need to advance in the implementation of user-centered practices in DOT, because their health system still has difficulties and challenges to overcome.
