    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to explore the deaf people’s perceptions about their well-being, published on a weblog.

    Method:

    A free access spanish blog that’s been created and used by deaf people is selected. Under qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach, through the non-participating and asynchronous observation, sign language speeches are analyzed in 44 video messages uploaded by deaf bloggers.

    Results:

    in the speeches analyzed, inclusion’s areas cited the most are self-determination, social inclusion and emotional well-being, these latter two in a negative way: social exclusion and emotional distress.

    Final considerations:

    The study participants state that the arrangements adopted for their inclusion are not enough, with feelings of discomfort prevailing in all areas and life stages. Solidarity initiatives, elimination of communication barriers and true transforming agents of our society are needed.

    Decision making from the perspective of nursing students

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To analyze the decision making of students from a nursing higher school and understand how they make decisions in the care process.

    Method:

    A qualitative study with an exploratory and descriptive approach was carried out with the case study method.

    Results:

    Six types of decision making were categorized by the students as follows: Decision about communication (15 record units [RU]); Decision about understanding (14 RU); Decision about intervention (9 RU); Decision about timing (5 RU); Decision about targeting (4 RU); and Decision about management (0 RU), with a total of 47 RU.

    Final considerations:

    Analysis of the learning diaries showed that students make more decisions regarding communication with patients and understanding of the care situation, than with the acting decision.

    Use of virtual reality for treating burned children: case reports

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To report the use of virtual reality (VR) in pain intensity during dressing change of two burned children hospitalized in a Burn Treatment Center (BTC) in Southern Brazil.

    Method:

    Case report on the use of VR during dressing change of two burned children hospitalized in a BTC, from May to July 2016. For assessing pain, a facial pain rating scale was applied at four times: just before the dressing, during the dressing without the use of VR, during the dressing with the VR, and after the use of VR.

    Results:

    The use of goggles was easy to apply and well-accepted by the children, and also had a relevant effect reducing pain.

    Conclusion:

    VR can become an important nonpharmacological method for treating pain in burned children.

    Neonatal appendicitis: a survival case study

    Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2017;70(6):1296-1300

    DOI 10.1590/0034-7167-2016-0610

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To report a case of neonatal appendicitis in a children’s hospital in southern Brazil, demonstrating the impact on neonatal survival.

    Method:

    Case study with data collection from medical records, approved by the Institution and Ethics Committee for Research with Human Beings.

    Results:

    The clinical picture is initially characterized by food intolerance, evolving to hypoactivity, alteration of vital signs and septicemia due to intestinal perforation. Management is exclusively surgical, since no case described in the literature was diagnosed preoperatively and the findings usually point to acute abdomen.

    Conclusion:

    A focused clinical surveillance should be established when the infant presents peritoneal irritation. Follow-up of the evolution and the worsening of the symptoms by nurses, as part of the care team in partnership with the medical team, enables an early surgical intervention, thereby avoiding complications such as septicemia and death.
