TL;DR: The thematic analysis of the data revealed that the presence of the fact caused insecurity in the interviewees and portrayed the lack of preparation in the undergraduate course, which could indicate a certain difficulty working with this theme.
Abstract: This qualitative and descriptive study aimed to identify how nursing course professors approach death and dying in the university and what the implications are on the formation process. Ten professors of the undergraduate nursing course were intentionally selected and underwent semi-structured interviews, which were recorded. The thematic analysis of the data revealed that the presence of the fact caused insecurity in the interviewees and portrayed the lack of preparation in the undergraduate course, which could indicate a certain difficulty working with this theme. Furthermore, the interviewees highlighted the importance of working with death and dying. It is essential to understand the university to be a transforming agent of reflective subjects and a promoter of conditions for the student to experience the aspects involved in the care when faced with death.

TL;DR: It is considered necessary to strengthen nursing work environments for ethical and satisfactory performance, especially while autonomy, a component of greater satisfaction, also appears as a trigger of moral distress when insufficiently exercised.
Abstract: A realizacao do trabalho da enfermagem envolve a complexidade das relacoes multiprofissionais, e as condicoes de trabalho muitas vezes precarias oferecidas na instituicao, o que inclui carencia de recursos materiais e de pessoal de enfermagem. Essas dificuldades podem comprometer o desenvolvimento e o engajamento do profissional em relacao ao trabalho e comprometer a qualidade do cuidado prestado, podendo deixar esses trabalhadores mais susceptiveis a conflitos e dilemas morais. Em face desses aspectos os profissionais podem vivenciar sofrimento moral no trabalho, o que, por sua vez, pode apresentar implicacoes para a satisfacao profissional, que e entendida como uma avaliacao subjetiva do trabalhador sobre o quanto os aspectos laborais podem ser prejudiciais ou beneficos ao seu bem-estar. Assim apresentou-se como questao norteadora: “Qual a relacao do sofrimento moral e satisfacao profissional na atuacao de enfermeiros no contexto hospitalar?” e, como objetivo verificar relacoes entre Sofrimento Moral e Satisfacao profissional no Trabalho de Enfermeiros no contexto hospitalar. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, desenvolvido no Hospital Universitario de Santa Maria (HUSM), localizado na cidade de Santa Maria, RS. Os participantes foram 141 enfermeiros que atuavam ha no minimo tres meses no servico no periodo de coleta de dados, que foi de Janeiro a Marco de 2015. Foram utilizados dois instrumentos, um para investigar a satisfacao profissional denominado Indice de Satisfacao Profissional (ISP), e outro para investigar o sofrimento moral, denominado Moral Distress Scale-Versao Brasileira. Para analise dos dados foi utilizada a estatistica descritiva, analise fatorial e correlacao de Spearman. Foram respeitados os aspectos eticos, de acordo com a Resolucao 466/2012. Conforme resultados se constatou um indice de satisfacao profissional de 10,81, o qual pode ser compreendido como baixo, e que os componentes autonomia e interacao estao entre os que mais influenciaram na satisfacao dos enfermeiros. A maior intensidade de sofrimento moral se deu pelo fator falta de competencia na equipe, e a maior frequencia pelo fator condicoes de trabalho insuficientes. Nao foram observadas correlacoes significativas entre os componentes de satisfacao profissional e fatores de sofrimento moral, embora tenha se identificado correlacao forte entre falta de competencia na equipe e negacao do papel da enfermeira como advogada do paciente, e moderada entre autonomia e normas organizacionais. Conclui-se que sao necessarios novos estudos que possam identificar essa possivel relacao, e o desenvolvimento de estrategias que contribuam para um ambiente de trabalho mais saudavel, em que a ocorrencia de sofrimento moral seja minimizada e a satisfacao profissional promovida.

Abstract: Introduction: Progress in cancer control in the last 50 years is undeniable, however, in Brazil it still represents the second cause of death in the child and adolescent population and studies have not shown a decline in this data. Objective: To analyze the clinical-epidemiological profile of children and adolescents with cancer in an oncologys service. Method: Retrospective documentary study, with search of data in medical records of children and adolescents, with diagnosis of cancer in the period from 2008 to 2014. data were collected from May to august 2015, stored in a computerized database and submitted to statistical analysis descriptive. This study was approved by the research e thics committee of the Federal University of Tocantins (protocol 116/2014). Results: The mean age at diagnosis was 8 years, the majority of which were male and the most frequent types of cancer were leukemia, lymphomas and central nervous system tumors. The use of chemotherapy predominated among the treatments used. regarding the situation-outcome, they were discharged for cure (11%); in treatment (14%); post-treatment follow-up (31%) and died (29%). Conclusion: The profile of children and adolescents with cancer in this study denoted the complexity and biopsychosocial dimension that involved the treatment of childhood and adolescence cancer, translated by the expressive number of hospital admissions and deaths in children under 5 years of age. Iit is recommended that health professionals be trained to perform the early diagnosis and for the excellence of multi-professional treatment, seeking not only cure but also quality of life.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analise documental de legislacoes governamentais nacionais e estrangeiras, adotando a analise de conteudo de Bardin nos materiais localizados ate 2013.
Abstract: RESUMO Objetivo: conhecer as legislacoes referentes ao testamento vital em diferentes paises, estabelecendo um paralelo com a instituida no Brasil. Metodo: realizou-se analise documental de legislacoes governamentais nacionais e estrangeiras, adotando a analise de conteudo de Bardin nos materiais localizados ate 2013. Resultados: aproximadamente quinze paises possuem legislacoes regulamentadoras do testamento vital, enquanto que, no Brasil, ha apenas uma resolucao do Conselho Federal de Medicina. As diretivas antecipadas da vontade ou o testamento vital, nomenclatura adotada no Brasil, atua na preservacao da autonomia do paciente. Conclusao: conhecer as legislacoes em diferentes paises contribui no sentido de subsidiar discussoes e avancos legais, no Brasil, para que os profissionais da saude, que atuam com pacientes, possam considerar os desejos dos assistidos.

TL;DR: A Metodologia Cientifica, mais do que uma disciplina, deve ser encarada como um conjunto de procedimentos sistematicos e racionais, base da formacao tanto do estudioso quanto do profissional as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A Metodologia Cientifica, mais do que uma disciplina, que em principio desperta a ideia de uma linha puramente teorica, deve ser encarada como um conjunto de procedimentos sistematicos e racionais, base da formacao tanto do estudioso quanto do profissional. Ambos atuam, alem da pratica, no mundo das ideias, ou seja, suas linhas basicas caminham pelo campo teorico, porem, o acumulo do conhecimento cientifico teorico, permite a sua aplicacao pratica no desenvolvimento tecnologico, alem de sua utilizacao nas atividades profissionais. Pode-se afirmar que a pratica nasce da concepcao sobre o que deve ser realizado e qualquer tomada de decisao fundamenta-se naquilo que se afigura como o mais logico, racional, eficiente e eficaz. Desta forma, deve-se encarar a Pesquisa Cientifica e o Metodo Cientifico, que fornece os subsidios para a sua realizacao, como fundamentais para o modelo de sociedade que estamos inseridos. Os alunos devem compreender a Metodologia da Pesquisa Cientifica como um instrumento que deve auxilia a humanidade a encontrar as respostas para os problemas que surgem em nossa vida cotidiana, alem da sua importância para a elaboracao do Trabalho Cientifico, que deve ser apresentado ao final do curso de Pos-Graduacao. Para atingir este objetivo, os alunos deverao produzir um resumo cientifico.

TL;DR: The coronavirus disease of 2019, or COVID-19, changed the world within a matter of weeks and all health care stakeholders need to reconsider the indications for face-to-face health care encounters in providing patient care.
Abstract: The coronavirus disease of 2019, or COVID-19, changed the world within a matter of weeks. The primary action to constrain the spread of the virus is social isolation. Given this public health principle, and the shortage of personal protective equipment during the global pandemic, all health care stakeholders need to reconsider the indications for face-to-face health care encounters in providing patient care. Which encounters are imperative and which ones can be switched to non–face-to-face care? What changes in laws, regulations, payment policies, and workflow are needed to enable this transition?1–3
