Objective. Identify the actions conducted by primary health care nurses for women in situations of domestic violence. Methodology. Exploratory-descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Participants were 17 nurses who worked in the Basic Health Unit in a city in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews and the information processing was performed using the interview content analysis technique. Results. By acting in a context of the violence, the nurses describe some elements and strategies they use that allow recognition and action to combat violence, namely: acceptance and empathy, establishing a bond of trust between the professional and the woman, dialogue, and intent listening. The limitations mentioned by participants were: lack of professional training to address the situation, feeling of unpreparedness, lack of time for the workload, the professional's difficulty in recognizing and dealing with violence given its complexity, low efficiency of the service network, and the sense of professional impotence against the gravity and complexity involved in violence. Conclusion. The participants are not adequately prepared to care for women in situations of domestic violence. It is necessary that this issue be addressed in the training of nursing professionals.Key words: nursing care; primary health care; spouses; violence against women.

Objective: to describe some methodological considerations on the Systematic Review of Mixed Methods developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute, seeking to disseminate the use of this methodology, exemplifying its use and demonstrating the benefits for nursing research. Method: it is an article of reflection. Result: it can be seen that the Systematic Review of Mixed Methods demonstrates that it is a research method that aligns with the characteristics of nursing care, making it possible to make a broader analysis of the different aspects of care such as: the viability of an activity or intervention, its adequacy to a specific context, the significance of the intervention for the patient and their effectiveness. Conclusion: the possibility of incorporating scientific evidence into the clinical practice by the decision making, increasing the focus of care and bringing benefits to the patients as well as the public policies is envisaged. This method values the context of care, cost-effectiveness and the preferences of patients, caregivers and health care providers.

Objetivo: Descrever as etapas de desenvolvimento e avaliação da estrutura informatizada para processamento de bandejas cirúrgicas na área de preparo do centro de material e esterilização. Método: Trata-se de um projeto de desenvolvimento de produção tecnológica embasada na teoria de “ciclo de vida do sistema”. Resultados: A estrutura foi criada utilizando formulários e planilhas do Google Apps. Os formulários foram desenvolvidos com base na coleta de informações das referências gravadas nos instrumentais, consulta ao nome correto nos catálogos dos fabricantes e registros fotográficos de detalhes das peças. Foi realizada a avaliação pelos colaboradores, e foram feitas as alterações sugeridas pelos mesmos. Os formulários permitiram identificar o nome do instrumental e a referência do fabricante e acessar as fotos dos materiais, o que passou a gerar planilhas que permitiram a rastreabilidade e o gerenciamento dos materiais cirúrgicos. Conclusão: A informatização do preparo das bandejas de cirurgia minimamente invasiva contribuiu para o preparo de maneira fácil, intuitiva e de forma rastreável. A tecnologia pode otimizar o tempo de assistência do enfermeiro do centro de material e esterilização com as questões relacionadas ao planejamento das ações gerenciais e à rastreabilidade dos processos.

Objetivo: o atendimento de vítimas de desastres estabelece o desafio, para as instituições hospitalares, do preparo para atender ao aumento da demanda, ao mesmo tempo em que os serviços essenciais precisam continuar em funcionamento. Foi realizada pesquisa qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso com o objetivo de identificar e descrever os impactos e legados do atendimento às vítimas do incêndio na Boate Kiss para a gestão de recursos do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. Método: a coleta de dados foi desenvolvida em entrevistas e consulta a documentos. Participaram 17 profissionais envolvidos no gerenciamento do atendimento. Resultados e discussão: os dados foram analisados por meio de análise de conteúdo do tipo temático. Foram identificados impactos na gestão dos recursos humanos, com recrutamento, capacitações e treinamentos; na gestão de recursos materiais com o aumento de insumos e materiais não padronizados; na gestão de recursos físicos com o provimento de leitos e espaço para acolhimento dos familiares. Entre os legados, um Plano Institucional de Apoio a Catástrofes Externas foi desenvolvido: Conclusão: os resultados confirmam as evidências de que a aprendizagem sobre a gestão de risco acontece a partir de eventos vivenciados pelas instituições de saúde, cujo legado reflete-se na qualificação do planejamento e do atendimento em situação de desastres. Os impactos e legados identificados constituem subsídios para a qualificação do atendimento hospitalar em desastres.

Study/Objective: Disasters in Indonesia have a positive trend showing that the average disaster has increased every year. Background: isaster management circumstances can reduce the risk of disaster, but it is technically concern on pre-disaster mitigation efforts. This research was a field study in PPKK which had been done from January 12, 2015 until February 16, 2015. The purpose of the research is to know the challenges on implementation of pre-disaster efforts of PPKK in 2014. Methods: This research was using a qualitative approach by through in-depth interviews and also from program reports of PPKK. The information and data collected then processed by Root Cause Analysis (RCA).Results: The challenges that may caused a high incidence of health crisis in Indonesia related to the pre-disaster efforts of PPKK were that (1) inadequate amount of staff, (2) lack of control PPKK to Regional Health Department as the implementer; (3) irrelevant data analysis and display; and (4) Study/Objective: The objective of this paper is to outline the key components of a new initiative in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, aimed at preparing future public health professionals for the health challenges posed by rising sealevels. Background: Many of the most serious impacts of rising sea levels are those affecting human health. Bigger storm surges and increased flooding can result in deaths and injuries in affected communities, population displacement and dislocation, and associated mental health impacts. Higher sea-water levels can also result in the rapid growth of mosquito populations and the spread of disease, since stagnant bodies of brackish water provide ideal breeding grounds for disease-carrying mosquitos. Examples of other health impacts include the loss of vital fresh water supplies due to the intrusion of salt-water, damage to essential healthcare and public health facilities, and the spread of biological and chemical contaminants. Because the direct and indirect health impacts of rising sea levels are expected to grow significantly in the coming years, and it is crucial that future public health professionals be trained, and have practical experience with the health issues and implications of rising sea-levels. Methods: In the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, an area that is already experiencing significant effects from rising seas, an innovative effort has been launched to help prepare the future public health professionals to meet the health challenges of rising sea-levels. Based on the Masters of Public Health (MPH) program, sponsored jointly by Old Dominion University (ODU) and Eastern Virginia Medical School, the initiative includes several inter-related components. One part involves the incorporation into the MPH curriculum of new rising sea-level educational content and training modules. In addition, because practical experience with rising sea-level issues is also essential, classroom and related curricular efforts are being complemented with newly-developed practicum sites and other practice opportunit...
