Objective Describe the terms used in written records of patients' progress by nurses. Methods Descriptive research with a quantitative method that used a software to extract terms related to 148,200 nursing documentations of patient's progress, from 2010 to 2012, in a university hospital in Curitiba - Paraná. The terms were normalized, if appropriate, in spelling, gender, number and tense; then corpus of 2.638 terms was classified for analysis. Results There were problems related to the identification of the records; the use of trade names for designating artifacts used in the nursing practice; unconventional acronyms and abbreviations; and colloquial terms. Records of terms contained in standardized language of nursing diagnoses were found. Conclusion The language used by nurses is heterogeneous. There is a tendency to use terms of specialized language, even when there is no formal terminology standardization in the institution.

This theoretical and reflective study aimed to assess the contribution of the ISO/TR 12300:2016 document for the mapping of nursing terminology. The referred document and related articles were used as an empirical framework. The study analyzed the content of the document, highlighting cardinality and equivalence principles. The standard presents conceptual and operational basis for mapping, with cardinality and equivalence as the support for the categorization of cross-terminology mapping in the area of nursing. Cardinality verifies candidate target terms to represent the source term, while the equivalence degree scale checks semantic correspondence. Among the principles included in the ISO/TR 12300:2016, cardinality and equivalence contribute to the accurate representation of the results of the cross-terminology mapping process and its use should decrease inconsistencies.

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar fatores de rotatividade e fidelização de profissionais de enfermagem. Estudo descritivo e quantitativo, envolvendo 102 profissionais de enfermagem desligados de serviços de saúde entre 2013 e 2014. Foram coletados dados por meio de um formulário eletrônico e, a partir da mineração de dados, descobertos padrões, posteriormente avaliados por cinco especialistas. Foram identificados como fatores de rotatividade e fidelização de profissionais de enfermagem: comunicação entre funcionários e chefia; repasse de assuntos importantes e mudanças na empresa; tratamento entre chefia e subordinado; oportunidade de influenciar a tomada de decisão; reconhecimento profissional, aliado ao crescimento na organização e promoções aos profissionais mais qualificados; salário adequado; carga de trabalho; e ambiente saudável. Os fatores identificados podem refletir em condições desfavoráveis ao trabalho dos profissionais de enfermagem, contribuindo para a rotatividade, se adequados e trabalhados pelos gestores, colaboram para melhores resultados na instituição e para a satisfação e fidelização dos profissionais.

Objective: Identify workflow factors in the operating room and their implications, which influence nurses' decision making. Method: Integrative review of the literature conducted through searches in the databases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences; Nursing Database; Pubmed; Scopus and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. The results were organized into factors related to positive, negative and positive and negative implications. Results: The sample of 18 articles included examples of factors with positive implications, such as preoperative data collection, negative outcomes, such as lack of human, material and structural resources, and positive and negative outcomes, as preparation for certification. Conclusions: Factors that influence the decision-making process of nurses are associated to different conditions: client- related conditions and those conditions that go beyond the domain and organization of the surgical environment.
