Objective:
To synthesize the knowledge produced on best nursing practices in long-term care for elderly at home, in order to promote healthy aging.
Method:
A systematic review, based on the Joanna Briggs Institute’s proposal: without restriction of dates; in the English, Portuguese and Spanish languages; conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS, Embase and Scopus databases.
Results:
Among 453 articles identified, 16 were included in the review: seven qualitative and nine quantitative, published between 1996 and 2015. The synthesis of the data identified as best practices identifies a premise of care centered on the elderly and the inclusion of the elderly, family and nurses as agents of this care.
Conclusion:
According to evidence, good practices in gerontological and nursing home care fundamentally depend on constant planning and reorganization, so that they are indeed comprehensive and contextualized. Thus, providing care will be reasoned by and driven to the elderly, based on their specific and global needs, favoring a process of healthy and active aging.

Objective:
to identify competencies related to health promotion targeting homebound older people, as they appear in the literature.
Method:
systematic review using the LILACS, Scopus, CINAHL, PubMed and Cochrane Library databases. The search was performed in November 2017. Selected articles were analyzed according to nine competency domains: enable change; advocate for health; mediate through partnership; communication; leadership; assessment; planning; implementation, and evaluation and research.
Results:
nine clinical trials were included. All health promotion competency domains were identified in the reviewed research interventions, performed with homebound older people.
Conclusion:
studies showed that the employed treatments were beneficial for the homebound older population. Interventions based on health promotion competencies were positively identified, and are linked to an effective and high-quality health care practice.

Objective:
to analyze the available evidence in the nursing literature about financial-patrimonial elder abuse.
Method:
integrative review of articles indexed in the databases CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS and MEDLINE, from 2007 to 2017. The combination of controlled and uncontrolled descriptors was used in Portuguese, English and Spanish.
Results:
15 studies developed in seven countries were included. In the thematic analysis, three categories emerged: epidemiological data, risk factors and institutions providing services to the elderly. The occurrence of this type of violence concomitantly to the other subtypes was highlighted among the most frequent.
Final considerations:
the literature points to important epidemiological data, risk factors and characteristics of this type of violence, including within institutions providing services to the elderly, in different countries, essential aspects for structuring and rethinking public policies for protection and appreciation of the elderly.

Objective:
To identify the knowledge produced on Medication-Related Problems in the transitional care of the elderly from hospital to home.
Method:
Integrative review of the literature data, organized in six stages: guiding question; establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria; extraction of data; analyze; interpretation of results; and presentation of the review. Articles were considered among 2002 and 2017, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, in the databases LILACS, MEDLINE, CINAHL and EMBASE.
Results:
10 studies were selected and analyzed. They were categorized by subject and identified in three themes: Medication Discrepancy and Reconciliation (40%); Adhesion to Medication (30%); and Adverse Drug Events (30%).
Final considerations:
Drug-Related Problems in the transitional care of the elderly from hospital to home, were presented as a relevant theme for nursing, involving complex issues related to care. Drug reconciliation was evidenced as a coherent and effective strategy in home care transitions for the elderly.

Conclusion:
it was verified the need for publications with higher evidence levels so that Brazilian journals can follow international standards dealing with research ethics.

Objective:
To identify scientific evidence on quality of life measurement instruments used in individuals with infections caused by human papillomavirus.
Method:
This was an integrative review carried out from April 1995 to March 2017 in the LILACS, SciVerse Scopus, ISI Web of Science, CINAHL, and PubMed databases. The controlled descriptors adopted were: Infecções por Papilomavirus; Qualidade de Vida; Papillomavirus Infections; and Quality of Life.
Results:
Of the 416 articles found, 12 were selected. Thirteen different types of instruments to evaluate the quality of life of individuals with human papillomavirus were identified, in that nine were generic and four specific.
Conclusion:
Different generic and specific instruments were used to evaluate the quality of life of individuals with human papillomavirus, which means no consensus or preference among the studies was identified. However, a lack of use of specific instruments to evaluate this construct in this population was observed.
