Objective: To identify the evidence on nursing care in promoting self-care of patients with leg ulcers.Method: This is an integrative literature review whose search was conducted in databases: LILACS, MEDLINE, IBECS, CENTRAL, SCIELO and BDENF. Inclusion criteria were: articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish in its entirety and online, published between 2010 to 2015. Exclusion criteria were: articles repeated in different databases and systematic reviews. After reviewing the publications in full as the established criteria, only four studies met the requirements.Results: In general, studies have shown that stimulus to self-care brought improved performance in physical activities, feelings of hope, security and independence, knowledge about the problem, change in lifestyle, improvement in quality of life and evolution in the healing process.Conclusion: It was possible to identify results conducive to the realization of nursing care in promoting self-care of patients with leg ulcers.

This study aimed to analyze the effect of two planting spacing on dendrometric characteristics and basic wood density of eucalyptus clones. The experiment in the municipality of Jataí-GO, Brazil, used a randomized complete block design with three replications, in which the spacing (3.0 m x 2.0 m and 3.0 m x 3.0 m) were allocated to the plots and the clones (3335, 3336 and 3487) in the subplots. Diameter at breast height (dbh), total height (HT), total volume (VT), basic density (db), stem biomass (BS), leaf and branch biomass (BLB) and total biomass (BT) were evaluated. The data were submitted to analysis of variance, followed by the Tukey test for comparison of means at the 5% probability level. It was found that the dbh and VT characteristics were not influenced by the planting spacing nor by the clone types. The HT was influenced by the spacing with the highest value (26.3 m) verified in the spacing 3 m x 3 m. The db was influenced only by the clone types and the clones 3335 and 3487 presented the highest values (0.46 and 0.41 g.cm-3 , respectively). The BS, BLB and BT were influenced only by clones with higher yields with clones 3335 and 3487. There were no significant interactions for any of the evaluated characteristics.
