ABSTRACT

Objective:

to analyze the factors that influenced the choice for nursing made by graduates from the first class of the Undergraduate Nursing and Obstetrics Course of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in the 1970s and to understand the senses and meanings of being a nurse when choosing this profession.

Method:

a qualitative socio-historical study was performed, using oral history to collect data.

Results:

the analysis generated the following categories: “To be a nurse: a professional choice” and “The ideal of being a nurse: senses and meanings”. The senses of “being a nurse” are associated with graduates’ perspective of this profession and the meanings included the traditional conceptions that have historically affected it.

Conclusion:

professional choice was influenced by family and work expectations and the nursing course had an effect on the construction of nurses’ professional identity.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to identify nurses’ knowledge and practice in the framework of the Family Health Strategy program with regard to social participation in health.

Method:

qualitative study which had the Family Health Units in a municipality of Minas Gerais as setting. Nine nurses participated in the study, and they were interviewed individually in July and August 2014. Data were collected and analyzed according to the content analysis technique and interpreted in the light of Paulo Freire’s ontology and critical pedagogy.

Results:

the analyzed statements showed that nurses bring along conceptual and behavioral inconsistencies which need to be equalized, so their knowledge and practice can mediate the challenging construction of participatory management in health.

Conclusion:

an improvement in nurses’ training is suggested, both academically and professionally, aiming at strengthening their political role in the process of consolidation of social participation in the Brazilian Unified Health System.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to characterize the patients’ anxiety in the preoperative period of heart surgery.

Method:

We conducted a cross-sectional study in which 106 patients, between one and five days from the date of surgery, were interviewed using a socio-demographic questionnaire and the Beck Anxiety Inventory.

Results:

The evaluated patients accounted for 59.4% (63) in minimal anxiety and 19.8% (21) in the range considered severe, and the sample had a mean in the mild anxiety level (15.8±19.79). The women had scores (22.13±23.41) significantly (p=0.003) higher than men (10.76±14.71); as well as patients who had undergone previous heart surgery (24.4±28.05 X 13.14±15.74). There was no significant difference between older adults and younger patients, nor in terms of weight variations, presence of diabetes, or alcoholism.

Conclusion:

We reinforces the importance of nurses in recognizing the preoperative anxiety and intervene through strategies of health education and nursing visits.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to describe the profile of drug addicts attended in a mental health service, the frequency of suicidal behavior among the participants and the associations between these two problems.

Method:

an exploratory, retrospective and descriptive study based on a quantitative approach, and data collected from medical records of patients with F10-F19 diagnoses according to the ICD-10 treated in this service in 2013. We expected to identify a possible association between independent variables (family, psychiatric and personal history) and the dependent variable (suicidal behavior).

Results:

Most of the individuals were men, single, with a low educational attainment, unemployed and aged between 15 and 45 years; 43.90% had a record of suicidal behavior.

Conclusion:

drug addicts with suicidal behavior are young people under the age of 30 presenting psychiatric comorbidity, mood disorders and/or depression, presence of family conflict, important dates coinciding with the suicidal behavior and mothers with psychiatric history.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to determine the prevalence of motorcycle accidents involving motorcycle taxi drivers and associated factors.

Method:

this is a cross-sectional and exploratory study, with application of questionnaires to motorcycle taxi drivers of 32 regions of Caicó, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil (N=420).

Results:

motorcycle taxi drivers have a high level of daily working hours (12 hours on average), and it was found that 63.6% were involved in at least one motorcycling accident. The occurence of motorcycling accidents was significantly associated only to level of education (p<0.001), with no significant association with the other variables, such as age (p=0.132), time of service (p=0.744) and working hours (p=0.830).

Conclusion:

it is necessary to implement preventive and educational actions with motorcycle taxi drivers and users of this service concerning accidents and emergency measures, due to constant exposure to accidents during work routine.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To identify and map the technological tools of information and communication to support the teaching learning process in Nursing teaching courses.

Methods:

This is a scoping review whose search was carried out in seven databases and in grey literature. After an initial analysis of the selection, 88 texts were read integrally, and 29 made up the final sample.

Results:

Virtual learning environment and object, simulation, hypermedia, and software or cellphone applications were the tools the nursing professors used the most. Studies highlight that the application of technology was important in the teaching-learning process, since it encouraged teaching based on safe care, motivating and developing abilities/competences, supported on significant, effective, flexible, and autonomous learning.

Conclusion:

The contribution of the technology for nursing formation stands out, but it should be highlighted that its employment must be critical, reflective, based on pedagogical theories and developed by trained professors.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to identify and summarize the elements that characterize the family transition process in relation to the first child.

Methods:

a scoping review was carried out based on JBI methodology, in six databases, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist.

Results:

ten articles were included with factors characterizing the transition, such as hindering/facilitating conditions that influence the process, important support structures in adaptation and strategies/responses used in the transition process.

Final Considerations:

elements characterizing the transition process in relation to the first child were identified. However, no theoretical explanation for this was identified. Further research should be carried out to obtain a deeper understanding of this process.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to summarize the recommendations of guidelines for promoting mental health in the workplace.

Methods:

an umbrella review, according to Joanna Briggs Institute and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses methodological assumptions. Data collection was carried out in January 2021 and updated in July 2023 in the American Psychological Association, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, National Library of Medicine, and Scopus databases. Systematic reviews that assessed guidelines with recommendations for mental health care for workers were included. PROSPERO registration CRD42023461845.

Results:

four systematic reviews published between 2015 and 2018 were identified. The abstracts highlighted actions that facilitate and inhibit the recommendations as well as three categories of intervention: primary prevention – worker protection; secondary prevention – promoting workers’ mental health; and tertiary prevention – supporting, monitoring and rehabilitating workers upon returning to work.

Conclusions:

the interventions are based on prevention, promotion and early recognition, support and rehabilitation of mental health problems.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to analyze the relationship between the nursing practice environment and hospital sociotechnical complexity as perceived by nurses.

Methods:

a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study was conducted in a hospital in southern Brazil. The Brazilian version of the Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index and the Complexity Characterization Questionnaire were administered to 132 nurses. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 participants, and the data were subjected to thematic analysis. Data integration was achieved through a connection approach.

Results:

the nursing practice environment was found to be favorable, except in the subscale concerning Staffing and Resource Adequacy, where complexity was present in the activities. The three emerging categories explained human and technical aspects related to complexity in the practice environment, quality of care, and patient safety. Unexpected variability was inversely correlated with the practice environment.

Conclusions:

the study results indicate a relationship between these constructs, with implications for the quality and the safety of care.
