    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to identify evidences from the literature on the application of nursing process in care developed by the nurse in mental health.

    Method:

    integrative literature review between 1990 and 2013, in the PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL and LILCACS bases. Descriptors: nursing processes, mental health, nursing care.

    Results:

    19 papers were identified. Limited and partial usage of the nursing process in care established by a therapeutic relationship that respects the patient’s individuality. We observe care proposals systematized for patients that present pathological aspects in the limits between the physical and psychical, which might be a response to the influence of the practice based on evidences.

    Conclusion:

    it was found an antagonistic movement between care based on the relationship and located in the standardization of diagnoses that respond to physical malaise. A lack of evidence was verified for the usage of the nursing process in mental health, and we point at the necessity for the creation of new possibilities for dialogue between relational and biological perspectives.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    analyze scientific production on nursing practice in home care.

    Method:

    integrative review employing databases LILACS, BDENF, IBECS, and MEDLINE. Studies in Spanish, English, and Portuguese were included, regardless of publishing date.

    Results:

    after analyzing 48 articles, it was found that nursing practice in home care is complex, employing a multitude of actions by using three technologies: soft; soft-hard especially; and hard. Challenges related to the home-care training process are reported in the literature. Nurses use knowledge from their experience and scientific recommendations in conjunction with their reflections on the practice.

    Conclusion:

    home nursing practice is fundamental and widespread. Relational and educational actions stand out as necessary even in technical care, with a predominant need for home-care training.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    Understand the beliefs, knowledge, and actions of nursing technicians on breastfeeding as a form of non-pharmacological intervention to relieve pain in newborns and infants during immunization.

    Methods:

    Qualitative study carried out through semi-structured interviews with nine nursing technicians from three Basic Health Units in a city in the state of São Paulo. The theoretical approach of the Belief Model and the methodological framework of Thematic Analysis supported this study.

    Results:

    Three themes originated: Beliefs, Knowledge, and Actions of nursing technicians.

    Final considerations:

    Despite knowledge about the benefits of breastfeeding as the most effective method for relieving pain in newborns and infants during vaccination, their restrictive beliefs overrode the evidence, leading them to act in ways that discourage or prevent the mother from breastfeed during vaccination. Formal training is recommended to align with current evidence-based practices.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to map the available evidence on resources used to promote health literacy among caregivers of prematurely born children during outpatient follow-up.

    Methods:

    the Joanna Briggs Institute’s scope review protocol was utilized. The search encompassed six databases, incorporating studies from 2012 to 2022.

    Results:

    the three included publications revealed that the resources employed are: mobile applications, phone calls, individual counseling, videos, educational pamphlets, and group discussions. Implementing an education protocol during the transition home enhances scientifically grounded health promotion rates.

    Conclusions:

    there is limited literature addressing the health literacy of these caregivers. The nursing team plays a crucial role in health education and in developing resources applicable to these families.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze the social representations of patients with cancer regarding oncologic surgery.

    Methods:

    a qualitative study based on Social Representation Theory was conducted with 126 participants between October 2021 and May 2022 in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro. A characterization questionnaire, free evocations of the inducing term “surgery”, and semi-structured interviews with 60 participants were applied. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel® and IRaMuTeQ.

    Results:

    the central core of the representation is composed of fear, cure, hope, and removing the disease. The analysis of interviews resulted in six classes that highlight the social changes caused by treatment as well as the need for a support network to cope with the surgical process.

    Final Considerations:

    the representations reflect fear and hope towards the procedure and the desire to remove the disease, thus translating the cure through surgery.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to understand the perspective of nurses on the use of telemonitoring in the management of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension in primary care.

    Methods:

    this qualitative research involved sixteen nurses from eight municipalities in Paraná. Data were collected between November 2022 and January 2023 through inperson or remote interviews, which were audio-recorded and subjected to content analysis.

    Results:

    according to the nurses, telemonitoring enhances users’ knowledge about these conditions, communication and connection with the team, and productivity. However, the lack of electronic resources and equipment, high staff turnover, low user adherence, and the limited availability of professional time present significant challenges.

    Final Considerations:

    the effective implementation and operation of telemonitoring in the management of people with diabetes and hypertension involve both potential benefits and barriers. It is essential to have the availability of human and technological resources, managerial support, and the commitment of professionals and users.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze palliative care production developed by health professionals to home care patients.

    Methods:

    this is an exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, using the transpersonal care theoretical framework. Thirteen interviews were conducted with health professionals and 18 observations were conducted on different cases. Content analysis was performed using MAXQDA©.

    Results:

    actions performed: maintenance and follow-up measures to people eligible for palliative care, in acts of dialogue and “listening” to caregivers and users, conducting guidelines for the care and self-care process, performing technical procedures, delivery of materials, referrals and medical prescriptions to users.

    Final Considerations:

    it is perceived the need for advances in the implementation of government policies in Brazil that insert palliative care into the Health Care Network through educational, managerial and care actions that ensure human dignity, thus allowing the development of these and other palliative care interventions.
