RESUMO CONTEXTO:O enfermeiro deve interagir com as pessoas em situação de saúde ou doença, melhorando o seu contexto sociocultural e o seu processo transição. Estas interações são organizadas com um propósito em que o enfermeiro utiliza ações terapêuticas para promover a saúde. A massagem terapêutica consiste em pressionar e esfregar o corpo ou partes deste com ns terapêuticos. OBJETIVO(S):Avaliar o efeito da intervenção da massagem terapêutica na saúde mental das pessoas com patologia oncológica. METODOLOGIA: Revisão sistemática da literatura, através dos descritores "pacientes", "oncologia" e "massagem", estudos de 2000 a 2012, em bases de dados e motores de busca online. RESULTADOS: O corpus do estudo foi composto por 15 artigos e demonstra que a massagem terapêutica reduz, quer de imediato, quer a longo prazo, a ansiedade e a depressão. Contudo, há estudos em que não existiram diferenças nestas variáveis. Esta intervenção melhora, de imediato, o relaxamento, o bem-estar emocional e o padrão de sono, a dor, o desconforto físico-emocional e a fadiga. Não houveram diferenças estatísticas signi cativas que corroborassem a melhoria da qualidade de vida, stress e sofrimento. CONCLUSÕES: A massagem terapêutica tem efeitos bené cos a curto prazo na saúde mental das pessoas com patologia oncológica. No entanto, relativamente à ansiedade e depressão os resultados analisados são contraditórios, reportando-se para investigações futuras. Sugerimos novas pesquisas para maior consistência empírica sobre os efeitos da intervenção da massagem terapêutica na saúde mental das pessoas com patologia oncológica e assim contribuir para a prática de uma enfermagem de excelência baseada na evidência. BACKGROUND: Nurses should interact with people in health status or disease, improving their socio-cultural context and its process transition. ese interactions are organized with a purpose in which nurses use therapeutic actions to promote health. erapeutic massage is to press and rub the body or parts thereof for therapeutic purposes.

Objective: to assess the effect of a Nursing Rehabilitation program on the urinary incontinence management of women after a CVA. Method: quantitative, quasi-experimental, and longitudinal study conducted in a convalescence unit in the Viana do Castelo district, Portugal, between September 2018 and March 2019. The sample included women (n=30) aged between 45 and 90, experiencing urinary incontinence after a CVA, assigned to two groups: experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15). The functional rehabilitation program was applied to the experimental group for 4 weeks. The program comprises behavioral changes and an exercise plan to strengthen pelvic floor muscles, and the impact of urinary incontinence was assessed before and after the intervention. Results: a statistically significant correlation was found between the level of functional disability and the impact of urinary incontinence (r=-0.499; p=0.005). Hence, the level of functional disability influences the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life. The functional rehabilitation program implemented in the experimental group obtained positive results and decreased the frequency (t=6.985, p=0.000) and amount (Z=-2.762, p=0.006) of urine loss. Conclusion: the functional rehabilitation program positively impacted and decreased the frequency and amount of urine loss.

Chronic injuries are determining factors in the quality of life of diabetic patients, because besides causing physical weaknesses, they also affect the emotional and social aspects, providing the need to adapt to a new form of routine. The study aims to reflect about the relations between the presence of chronic lesions and the experience at home and to transcend a reflection related to family participation in the care of these patients. This is a study of the narrative literary review type, with a theoretical-reflexive aspect, of qualitative approach and exploratory bias, it was carried out through data obtained from the BDENF, LILACS via Virtual Health Library, and SciELO portal, using the descriptors combined with the Boolean operator And "Quality of life, Diabetes Mellitus, Chronic Wounds, Home Care". The following inclusion criteria were adopted for the studies in the search: articles published in scientific journals, books and book chapters, theses and dissertations in English, Spanish and Portuguese, related to the theme. Studies available in paid form were excluded. Fourteen studies were included. From the analysis, the following categories emerged: The presence of chronic injuries in diabetic patients in home care and its interference in their quality of life and the importance of the family in assisting diabetic patients with chronic wounds at home. Primary care through the family health strategy plays a key role, identifying diabetic patients with chronic wounds and susceptible to developing them, and thus, training their families and caregivers, always seeking to include family members in the care process, because it is proven that the family plays a key role in the implementation of care and health planning. Furthermore, the health education offered by family members and caregivers is little documented in the literature. In this perception, a need emerges for a greater number of scientific productions that focus on family action and home care, thus evidencing the importance of these publics.
