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 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.

Objectives:
to evaluate hospitalization costs of patients with and without Healthcare-Associated Infections an Intensive Care Unit.
Methods:
a retrospective case-control study. Data collection was retrieved from the medical records of Intensive Care Unit of a medium-sized public hospital in Goiás-Brazil. For each case, two controls were selected. Data on socioeconomic, clinical, and hospital costs were collected. To verify associations between variables, Odds Ratio and linear regression were calculated.
Results:
a total of 21 patients diagnosed with Healthcare-Associated Infections and 42 controls were evaluated. The hospitalization cost for patients with infection was four times higher than for non-infection patients (p-value<0.001). There was an association between infection and higher mortality (p-value <0.001), longer hospital-stay (p-value =0.021), and higher hospital costs (p-value =0.007).
Conclusions:
hospitalization costs of diagnosed Healthcare-Associated Infections patients are high compared to those who do not have this diagnosis.

Objectives:
to evaluate the effects of music on the physiological stress and distress of cancer patients being treated in a hospital.
Methods:
quasi-experimental study carried out with cancer patients hospitalized in the nursing wards of a public hospital. There was a single 15-minute intervention using music. It was individual, and headphones were used for patients to listen to three songs chosen by each one. The levels of stress and distress were measured before and after the intervention, using music to analyze the cortisol in the saliva and the answers to the distress thermometer. The significance level of the statistical analysis was 5%, using the non-parametric Wilcoxon test.
Results:
the mean age of the 26 patients was 56 years old. Most were female, white, and had breast cancer. After intervention, there were statistically significant diminutions in both stress and distress — p < 0.001.
Conclusions:
the use of music diminishes the stress and the distress of cancer patients.

Objectives:
to know the meaning of contemporary nursing from the experience of intensive care nurses.
Methods:
qualitative research based on the theoretical framework of Symbolic Interactionism and the methodological framework of Interpretive Interactionism. The setting was a general hospital in Bahia, being carried out with 12 nurses working in intensive care for at least one year, through semi-structured interviews and drawing-text-theme technique, whose data were organized according to Miles and Huberman and analyzed upon the referential.
Results:
the sense of being a nurse was evidenced; a being for care, resulting from the experience in intensive care, capable of promoting the development of professional self-image, by causing, in nurses, other skills – besides the scientific ones, such as empathy, creativity, spirituality and compassion.
Final Considerations:
the sense of being a nurse, currently, expresses developments inherited from the Nightingalean proposal, but transcends the technical-managerial emphasis of this to a humanistic care perspective converging with our contemporary professional identity: a being for care.

Methods:
qualitative study, based on the methodology Knowledge, Attitude and Practice, conducted with 30 men in prison. The study applied individual interviews submitted to the analyze of the discourse.
Results:
the incipient knowledge of men was associated with: self-illness and the others’, diagnosis, and perception of risk behavior, pervaded by distrust or lack of understanding of the rapid test for detection. The attitudes involved culpability of partnerships, non-adherence to prevention inputs, and resistance to look for health services. The practices are linked to health care after the identification of the disease, use of penile condoms, and attention to the partnership.
Conclusions:
the reduced knowledge about Sexually Transmitted Infections makes attitudes stereotyped, stigmatized, compromised by the level of education. The level of health care and the limits of deprivation of liberty weaken the practices.

Objectives:
to identify scientific evidence in the literature regarding educational actions on leprosy developed with adolescents.
Method:
an integrative review of the literature, with the following research question: what are the leprosy educational practices currently being developed with adolescents? The search was performed in the following databases: MEDLINE, Scopus, LILACS, CINAHL, BVS Hanseníase and other sources, using “adolescent”; “leprosy”; “health education”; “public health”, and “public health practice” as keywords. Results: the sample was comprised of nine studies. Leprosy educational practices with adolescents verifiably promote change in knowledge when they are based on constructivist methodologies. The nurse is recognized as a professional with potential for developing these educational practices. Final considerations: actions for leprosy education with adolescents do lead to changes in knowledge, but new research is needed to evaluate their effectiveness in further improving this knowledge as well as changing behaviors and practices.

The ET “Knowing and coping with fatigue” contemplates the definition of fatigue, its causes and the interventions of physical exercise practice, sleep hygiene, energy conservation and behavioral intervention. The overall CVI obtained with the judges was 0.95.
Conclusion:
The ET presented content and appearance validity for health education regarding fatigue related to antineoplastic chemotherapy in outpatient cancer patients.

Objective:
to evaluate, in emergency hospital service and at home, the functional independence of elderly people who fell.
Method:
longitudinal study with 151 elderly. Functional Independence Measure (FIM) was used. Statistical tests were performed with univariate and bivariate analysis.
Results:
mean of total FIM value in the hospital was 70.4; and at home 84.3 (p <0.001). Independence was lower in the motor domain, in “self-care”, “mobility” and “locomotion” dimensions, in the two evaluations (p <0.001). Dependence reduced from 97.3% elderly in the hospital to 82.8% at home (p <0.001). There was a negative correlation between total FIM and age, number of medications, number of diseases and hospitalization time in both evaluations. Femoral and hip fractures were associated with lower total FIM values (p <0.001).
Conclusion:
the elderly had less independence in the hospital compared to at home, with greater impairment in the motor domain and “self-care”, “mobility” and “locomotion” dimensions, in the two moments evaluated.

Objective:
to validate the content and appearance of the educational booklet “You can control your child’s asthma – let’s learn together?” with parents and caregivers of children with asthma.
Methods:
this is a methodological study, carried out with 34 mothers and caregivers of children, from two to 10 years old, diagnosed with asthma. The educational booklet validation was performed using Content Validity Index (CVI) and assessment of comprehension, attractiveness, self-efficacy, persuasion, and cultural acceptance domains.
Results:
the booklet was considered clear (99.8%) and relevant (100%), with a global CVI of 0.99. Domain assessment proved to be an easy-to-understand tool, culturally appropriate, attractive, with persuasive power and promoting self-efficacy.
Conclusion:
the booklet is valid and adequate for promoting the self-efficacy of parents and caregivers in childhood asthma control and management, potentially scalable to other realities of outpatient care.

Objectives:
to evaluate the attributes of primary health care, care coordination and longitudinality, from the perception of the professional and patients in the state of Amazonas, Brazil.
Methods:
quantitative evaluative study, in which was used an external evaluation instrument with 469 professionals and 1,888 patients from 367 primary health care facilities that adhered to the Program for Improving Access and Quality of primary health care (Portuguese acronym: PMAQ) standardized by the Ministry of Health. Data were grouped by multivariate cluster analysis in order to find a classification of primary health care from the perspective of professionals and patients.
Results:
the attributes of coordination and longitudinality are still expressed in a weak and undeveloped way in the Brazilian Amazon scenario.
Conclusions:
it is necessary to recognize the organizational barriers and what could promote conditions for the performance of health care teams in the perspective of a continuous, integral and coordinated care.
