to investigate the report of vaccination against Hepatitis B, verification of immunization and the factors associated with dosages of anti-HBs.
Method:
we collected blood samples from those reported that they had one or more doses of the vaccine. We evaluated the association of the dosage of anti- HBs with sociodemographic conditions, occupational and behavioral. The associations were verified by Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis and correlation Spermann by linear regression using SPSS® 17.0.
Results:
among the 761 respondents, 504 (66.1%) were vaccinated, 52.5 % received three doses, 30.4 % verified immunization. Of the 397 evaluated for the determination of anti-Hbs, 16.4% were immune.
Conclusion:
it was found that longer duration of work was associated with higher levels of anti-HBs, while levels of smoking were inversely associated with anti-HBs. These workers need for vaccination campaigns.

As a critical area, the dimension “non-punitive response to error” was evidenced in 30 of 36 studies.
Conclusions:
the identification of areas of strength and critical areas of safety culture is relevant to encourage improvement of patient safety problems in an institution.

Objectives:
to compare the effect of adjuvant low-laser light therapy versus conventional treatment alone on venous ulcer healing.
Methods:
this is a randomized clinical trial with 40 patients randomized equally to a control group (topical and compressive treatment) and intervention group (adjuvant low-laser light therapy). Outcomes of interest were Wound Healing: Secondary Intention and Tissue Integrity: Skin & Mucous Membranes, as described in the Classification of Nursing Outcomes/NOC.
Results:
groups with similar sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Eighty-two ulcers were assessed, with an average duration of 1 to 5 years, in 1,066 nursing consultations, with a statistically significant difference in the time and number of healed ulcers (intervention group). There was a significant improvement in the nursing outcomes under study and in eight clinical indicators.
Conclusions:
low-laser light therapy improves and reduces tissue regeneration time, contributing to advances in wound treatment.
