Objective:
to evaluate the attribute longitudinality in different models of assistance in Primary Health Care and observe its association with demographic, socioeconomic and health care characteristics.
Method:
a cross-sectional study, carried out in 2015 with 1076 adult users of primary care services in the 32 cities of the 4th Regional Health Care Core of Rio Grande do Sul State. The Primary Care Assessment Tool was used with definition of low (<6.6) or high (≥6.6) score for longitudinality. The association with independent variables was observed through the Poisson regression.
Results:
the attribute was better assessed in the Family Health Strategy and associate with age, housing health region and care model.
Conclusion:
the study points out the Family Health Strategy as a promoter of longitudinal care, and so, it suggests the expansion of this assistance model coverage for quality improvement in health care.

Objective:
To create competencies for the educational actions of nurses in the care and management work processes at the Family Health Strategy.
Method:
This is an exploratory, descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, on nurses of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) from a municipality in the Greater São Paulo. It was performed through semi-structured interviews and workshops.
Results:
There is a set of specific competencies for the educational actions of the nurse in care work, geared towards meeting the health needs of users/community; and for educational actions in management work, focused on work organization of the health team, indicating the importance of this work to FHS.
Final considerations:
Creating competencies proved to be significant to reflect on the educational actions of the FHS nurses and can be used as a strategy in permanent education processes.

Objective:
To structure the Computerized Nursing Process using the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) version 2.0 to emergency care units in a computerized structure.
Method:
This is a methodological and technological research that followed the stages: (1) establishment of the development team and resources; (2) adequacy of clinical situations, diagnoses and nursing interventions for the emergency area; (3) association of diagnoses and interventions based on ICNP®; (4) organization and codification of clinical evaluation, diagnoses and nursing interventions; (5) transfer of data to the a computerized platform.
Results:
Readjustment and construction of 1,445 possibilities of clinical evaluations associated with 961 different diagnoses and their corresponding interventions to the most frequent situations in emergency services.
Conclusion:
ICNP® has a strong and solid form for the development of the computerized nursing process able to support nurses in safe decision-making to improve the quality of health care.

Objective:
To verify the effectiveness of nursing interventions based on the Imogene King’s Theory of Goal Attainment, on improving care for people with diabetes and adherence to treatment.
Method:
Quasi-experimental, longitudinal, randomized, simple study in a Primary Health Care Unit, in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará state, Brazil. The sample consisted of 60 people with diabetes, divided into intervention and control groups, whose collection occurred from February to August 2013.
Results:
In the intervention group, a significant adherence of the patients to the goals defined in the study was found. In the control, there was improvement in some aspects of the treatment.
Conclusion:
With these results, it was possible to conclude the feasibility of using Theory of Goal Attainment in the positive aspects for adherence to diabetes treatment and improvement of quality of life.

Objective:
to assess potential failures in the care process with orthotics, prosthetics and special materials in a high-complexity hospital.
Method:
an intervention study conducted from March to October 2013. This process was assessed with the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) service tool. The data were analysed according to the risk and the corrective measures were defined.
Results:
no failure was classified as high risk and the corrective measures indicated as low and moderate risk had the following improvement initiatives suggested: standardize the material records in the information system; create a specific form to require materials; hire specialized technical personnel and create a continuous education program.
Conclusion:
all the suggested initiatives were implemented and helped to reduce the assistance risks for patients due to failures in this process. The actions increase safety levels and provide higher quality of service.

Objective:
to elaborate and validate a protocol for the care of the nurse to the septic patient in Intensive Care Units (ICUs).
Method:
instrument validation study. Two steps were followed: instrument development and content validation according to the Delphi technique.
Results:
the validation of contents related to the nurse’s assistance to the septic patient in intensive care was initially composed of eighteen items analyzed by the evaluators/judges. From this, through the Content Validity Index (CVI), thirteen items with strong evidence of validation were identified, CVI = 0.79. Then the instrument was refined, being then composed of fifteen items, which in the second phase Delphi had a percentage of agreement above 84% for the variables pertinent to the protocol.
Conclusion:
the method was effective to validate the contents of a protocol for the nurse’s assistance to the septic patient in the ICU.
