Objective:
To describe the possibility of applying Fuzzy Logic in analyzing the vulnerability of Women Who Have Sex with Women to Sexually Transmitted Infections/HIV/AIDS.
Methods:
We developed a Fuzzy Logic system with 17 input variables and one output variable, using data related to vulnerability in a municipality located in the Midwest region of the State of São Paulo, Brazil.
Results:
The factor with the greatest positive impact was the confirmation that a low understanding of Sexually Transmitted Infections/HIV/AIDS is associated with higher vulnerability. Conversely, the statement “Not disclosing sexual activity to healthcare professionals,” where individuals do not admit to having sex with women, had the least impact.
Conclusions:
Fuzzy Logic facilitates the identification of vulnerability, expressed through the analysis of interaction between variables in each dimension. This makes it a promising method to assist in analyzing the vulnerability of specific populations.

Objective:
to present the perception and knowledge of Brazilian nursing nurses and academics regarding Nursing Care Systematization.
Method:
a descriptive study, carried out in the first half of 2018.
Results:
of the 596 respondents, 86% perceived Nursing Care Systematization as very important, but only 60.9% used it in their care practice. Its use was statistically associated with a higher level of training. Non-utilization was associated with the perception that it is irrelevant and with little knowledge on the Nursing Process, even in the face of recognition of its obligation. Among professionals who wish to learn more about the subject, understanding the application of the process, especially the planning step, is perceived as a necessity.
Conclusion:
the relevance perception of systematization and levels of knowledge of the professional/academic are directly related to the use or not of Nursing Care Systematization principles.

Objetivos:
alcançar o grau de saturação em estudo que aplicou a teoria fundamentada.
Métodos:
pesquisa qualitativa, realizada em quatro Unidades Saúde da Família, entre junho de 2018 e maio de 2019. Os dados das entrevistas com 30 profissionais de saúde e observação não participante foram codificados nas etapas: aberta, axial e integração.
Resultados:
o grau de saturação foi alcançado por dois modelos conceituais – saturação teórica e temática indutiva. Foram considerados para a saturação teórica: o desenvolvimento dos códigos conceituais e a observação, na coleta e análise dos dados, quando geravam novas categorias/subcategorias ou apenas indicavam instâncias crescentes. Para a saturação temática indutiva, destacou-se a utilização de novos códigos baseados em cada entrevista.
Considerações Finais:
a esquematização visual para a quantidade de códigos, abrangência teórica dos conceitos e delimitação dos grupos amostrais orientou a identificação do grau de saturação para o desenvolvimento do corpo conceitual que sustentou a teoria substantiva.

Objective:
to investigate the association between frailty, loneliness and depressive symptoms of elderly caregivers.
Method:
a cross – sectional study carried out with 341 elderly caregivers enrolled in Family Health Units of a city in the countryside of São Paulo State. The interviews were domiciliary and included questionnaire for characterization of the caregiver, Fried’s frailty phenotype, family APGAR (family functionality), Geriatric Depression Scale (depressive symptoms) and item 3 of the Herth Hope Scale (loneliness). Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between depressive symptoms and solitude (independent variables), and frailty and pre-frailty (dependent variables).
Results:
there was an association between frailty, loneliness and depressive symptoms. Elderly caregivers had increased odds of 158% presenting pre-frailty, and 360% of frailty. Elderly caregivers with depressive symptoms had an increased chance of 242% of presenting fragility.
Conclusion:
elderly and lonely caregivers with depressive symptoms are more likely to be frail and pre-frail.

Objetivo:
refletir sobre o legado de Florence Nightingale e descrever suas contribuições para o pensamento crítico holístico na enfermagem.
Métodos:
trata-se de uma reflexão teórica, para a qual serviram de base produções científicas sobre a teoria ambientalista de Florence Nightingale, publicadas em periódicos nacionais e internacionais.
Resultados:
a filosofia e os ensinamentos de Florence Nightingale enfatizam que a enfermeira deve usar o cérebro, o coração e as mãos na criação de ambientes de cura, para cuidar do corpo do paciente, de sua mente e de seu espírito. A enfermagem, desde a época de Nightingale, vem construindo o paradigma holístico, em todas as escolas de pensamento, com vistas a uma abordagem humanística do ser humano em sua indivisível relação com o ambiente.
Considerações finais:
as contribuições de Florence ao pensamento crítico holístico na enfermagem são evidentes, constituindo o diferencial do enfermeiro na prática clínica.
