Objective:
to analyze the use of quality of life assessment (QOL) as a strategy to evaluate the work with health promotion groups in the community.
Method:
cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study. Participants of two elderly groups (n=46) were individually interviewed to fill the sociodemographic instruments, WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD.
Results:
the participants were women with up to 79 years, who did not live with a partner, with up to four years of study, retired, with individual income of up to a minimum salary. The mean scores on the WHOQOL-BREF were higher on “Social Relations” and lower in the “Environment”. For the WHOQOL-OLD, the highest scores were achieved in facets “Social Participation” (G1) and “Past, Present and Future Activities” (G2), while “Death and Dying” facet obtained lower scores in both groups.
Conclusion:
the assessment of QOL appears to be useful in helping to identify the coordination aspects of life of elderly people that need to be better developed in groups.

Objective:
to characterize the profile and identify the activities developed by nurses from the Mobile Emergency Care Service of a state of southern Brazil.
Method:
an exploratory, descriptive study. Data were collected through a questionnaire with 63 nurses.
Results:
the profile showed a workforce predominantly female, young and having specialized training. The activities were organized in the dimensions of caring, managing and educating, verifying the predominance of the first one. Care actions involved multiple procedures, but the use of the Systematization of Nursing Care (SNC) was not mentioned in the development of care activities. Then, the managerial dimension with a predominance of bureaucratic activities was emphasized. Educational activities were less prominent.
Conclusion:
care actions are the focus of the activities of nurses, predominantly the prescribed institutional care without the use of instruments such as SNC that could contribute to the greater visibility of their professional work.

Objective:
To analyze the concept of “frailty syndrome” in the literature, according to the method proposed by Walker and Avant.
Methods:
It is a concept analysis, guided by the method proposed by Walker and Avant, made operational through an integrative literature review. The search in a scientific database was carried out using the descriptors: Frail elderly, syndrome, phenotype, geriatric assessment, and aging. The literary corpus comprised 66 studies. Results: The study found the antecedents and attributes (categorized as physical, sociodemographic, and behavioral/environmental) that integrate the signs and symptoms evidenced in the “frailty syndrome,” as well as the consequences of this concept. The variables were analyzed with emphasis on the conceptions that influence the frailty process of the elderly.
Conclusion:
The study demonstrated the complexity arising from the multifactorial genesis of the referred syndrome, emphasizing the specificities of the elderly’s frailty. However, we recommend conducting further research involving the phenomenon in question to understand the construct better.

Objective:
To identify tuberculosis-related health care and surveillance actions in Prison Health Units.
Method:
Cross-sectional study, of quantitative, exploratory and descriptive character. We visited 13 Teams of Prison Health, and nurses and technicians were interviewed regarding epidemiological surveillance instruments, physical structure and materials.
Results:
Search for respiratory symptoms in admission was reported by 6 (46.2%) of the teams, and the smear microscopy was the most requested test. The Logbook of Respiratory Symptoms and the Logbook for Monitoring Tuberculosis Cases were used in 7 (53.8%) institutions. Two of them (15.4%) had a location for sputum collection and 1 (7.7%) had a radiographer. The Directly Observed Therapy was reported in 7 (53.8%) units.
Conclusion:
Health care actions related to the search for respiratory symptoms and Directly Observed Therapy should be expanded, as well as surveillance actions and recording in official documents of the National Tuberculosis Control Program.

Objective:
To identify in the literature how Middle-Range Theories (MRT) are being developed in Nursing.
Method:
Integrative review on the databases Lilacs (Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences), Scopus, Cinahl (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Web of Science and PubMed portal, using the keywords middle range theory and nursing, as well its Portuguese correspondents (Lilacs), and the Boolean operator AND. The sample included 25 articles.
Results:
All articles presented concepts related to MRT. Most developed a synthesis picture. Some theories have formulated specific propositions, hypotheses, and names. Only 16 articles cited the methodological framework, while 22 used theories or models for theoretical foundation and 11 carried out literature reviews.
Final considerations:
The development of MRT included the presentation of fundamental concepts, synthesis, propositions, hypotheses and specific name. The MRT is recognized as a way of developing knowledge to guide the nursing practice.

Objectives:
to interpret the self-care experience of people with intestinal ostomy registered in an ostomy program, based on the framework of the Social Model of Disability.
Methods:
qualitative exploratory research, with the participation of nine people with intestinal ostomy, based on the Social Model of Disability.
Results:
majority were elderly, married, male with colostomy due to colorectal neoplasia. The self-care of these people was analyzed in two thematic groups: “Interdisciplinary assistance needed for people with intestinal ostomy” and “Self-care for the rehabilitation of the person with intestinal ostomy”. It was proved that there was a need for a specialized health team, offering information on disabilities, teaching self-care and perioperative follow-up.
Final Considerations:
when the social barriers of physical disabilities are overcome in the context of assistance for health and life, self-care will go beyond the reductionist vision of procedural care, towards comprehensive care, favoring the achievement of rehabilitation and the quality of survival.
