Views0See moreABSTRACT
Objective:
to reflect on nursing education, taking into account the principles of complex thinking proposed by Morin.
Method:
reflection based on the principles of the complexity theory by Edgar Morin.
Results:
the application of complexity in teaching proposes an emancipatory education based on questioning and social transformation. It comprises the education of nurses who interact with others as a characteristic of their work. It is necessary to prepare students to develop critical and reflective attitudes and actions to overcome the fragmentation and linearity of knowledge.
Conclusion:
nursing care has been based on a reductionist assistance, reflecting the Cartesian model. Thus, nursing education seeks to comprise shared knowledge and experiences so that no subject or professional overpowers another, accepting the uniqueness of professionals and patients.

Objectives:
to understand nurses’ experience regarding patient safety in mobile pre-hospital care.
Method:
a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, conducted with nurses active in mobile pre-hospital care services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, audio-graved and submitted to Bardin’s content analysis.
Results:
from four thematic categories established, nurses reported the care and management skills necessary to work in this service. They demonstrated a commitment to ensuring safe care for patients, staff and spectators. They highlighted the actions taken to prevent and mitigate incidents. However, they based their experiences on practice protocols and individual actions, expressing the need to improve knowledge about patient safety.
Final Considerations:
mobile pre-hospital care nurses’ experience in relation to patient safety was limited, suggesting the need for training on the subject, alignment of work processes and implementation of strategies, aiming to guarantee safe care.

Objectives:
to analyze the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on tuberculosis control actions from the perspective of primary health care professionals.
Methods:
this descriptive study with a qualitative approach was conducted from November 2022 to April 2023, using semi-structured interviews with 11 key informant professionals from primary health care units in a Brazilian capital. Data were organized using Atlas.ti 22.0 software and subjected to thematic-categorical content analysis.
Results:
the pandemic scenario caused alterations in the work process, necessitating abrupt adaptations, and led to detrimental impacts on the health of professionals and tuberculosis control actions, which were reduced or discontinued.
Final Considerations:
there was evident unpreparedness and a lack of resources from various governmental levels and health services to handle the public health emergency situation without severe harm to the provision of essential services.

Objectives:
to analyze the possibilities and potential of training indigenous nurses, given the Brazilian Health System (SUS), understanding the relationships between education and health.
Methods:
theoretical-reflective study, based on scientific literature, aligned with the experience, critical thinking of its authors and the Sustainable Development Goals in Brazil.
Results:
this text articulates three axes: Potential for including indigenous students in nursing training; Paths to achieving equity through inclusion and retention policies for indigenous students at different levels; and Implications of this for the SUS and global health.
Final Considerations:
indigenous students, beneficiaries of affirmative actions, face challenges of inclusion and retention in public universities that directly impact their academic training. Added to this are the difficulties identified in basic education, professor training and implementation of permanence policies, with consequences for services and training at other levels.

Objectives:
to analyze interobserver agreement in the Reception and Risk Stratification in Obstetrics protocol implementation.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study carried out during Reception and Risk Stratification in Obstetrics implementation, conducted in a tertiary hospital in southern Brazil with 891 participants in January 2020. Descriptive and interobserver agreement analysis was carried out using the Kappa coefficient in the risk stratification assigned by the triage nurse and reviewed by the researcher.
Results:
around half of the calls (55.6%) were stratified as not very urgent (green), followed by urgent (yellow) (31.8%), very urgent (orange) (9.3%), not urgent (blue) (3.4%) and no emerging stratification (red). Agreement analysis of revised stratification found Kappa values of 0.20 (blue), 0.54 (green), 0.77 (yellow) and 0.80 (orange).
Conclusions:
most appointments were non-urgent. The agreement analysis between the revised and assigned risk stratification revealed greater interobserver agreement as the priority level increased.

Objectives:
to understand nurses’ experiences in caring for people with mental health problems hospitalized due to clinical comorbidities in non-psychiatric Inpatient Units.
Methods:
qualitative study, guided by Alfred Schutz’s social phenomenology. Sixteen phenomenological interviews were conducted. The content was analyzed and discussed based on the literature, through the composition of three categories of analysis.
Results:
three categories emerged in the study: Challenges in care faced by nurses; Fragmented care action; and Ideal care. The disarticulation of the clinic was revealed, as described by nurses, showing care as an action far removed from the comprehensiveness of a person. Nurses’ performance is guided predominantly by biomedical reference, disregarding appreciation of subjectivity.
Final Considerations:
it was observed that nurses attribute the responsibility for patient care to factors external to their life-world, when, in fact, these aspects should be components that help them in comprehensive care construction.

Objective:
to identify evidence available in the literature on instruments and methodologies used to assess healthcare professionals’ knowledge about cancer care for the transgender population.
Methods:
a scoping review was conducted in seven databases, including studies that answered the question: what is the healthcare professionals’ level of knowledge about cancer care for the transgender population?
Results:
forty-one articles were selected that dealt specifically with healthcare professionals’knowledge in relation to care for the LGBTQIAPN+ population, especially the transgender population. Eighteen studies assessed patients’ perceptions of professionals’knowledge, whereas other studies used their own assessment tools, considering the global context of LGBTQIAPN+ health.
Conclusions:
there is no tested and validated instrument that assesses the knowledge about the transgender population’s oncological health, highlighting the need to construct and validate an instrument focused on this population’s needs.

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.

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.
