Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as características e os desafios vivenciados pelos cuidadores formais de idosos dependentes no domicílio. Estudo qualitativo multicêntrico, realizado em 6 cidades brasileiras, com cuidadores formais de idosos dependentes. As entrevistas foram realizadas mediante utilização de um roteiro semiestruturado, no domicílio, nos meses de maio a agosto de 2019, com duração média de 60 minutos. Participaram 27 cuidadores formais com idade média de 46 anos, predominantemente do sexo feminino, com tempo médio de cuidado ao idoso de 2 anos e 6 meses, sem formação profissional de cuidador. A análise e a interpretação das falas conduziram à formulação de três categorias temáticas: Condições de trabalho e de saúde do cuidador formal; Perfil e modos de cuidar; e Desafios para cuidar. É necessário conhecer as características e as demandas dos cuidadores formais de idosos dependentes domiciliados para que políticas públicas e intervenções eficazes possam ser desenvolvidas, levando-se em consideração as necessidades apresentadas por esses profissionais.
Objective: To translate and culturally adapt to Portuguese the Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index Spinal Cord Injury -Version III and characterize the sample in relation to sociodemographic and clinical aspects. Method: A methodological study with view to cross-cultural adaptation, following the particular steps of this method: initial translation, translation synthesis, back-translation (translation back to the original language), review by a committee of judges and pretest of the final version. The pretest was carried out with 30 patients with spinal cord injury. Results: An index of 74 items divided into two parts (satisfaction/importance) was obtained. The criteria of semantic equivalence were evaluated as very adequate translation, higher than 87%, and vocabulary and were grammar higher than 86%. Idiomatic equivalence was higher than 74%, experimental greater than 78% and conceptual was greater than 70%.

Objective: Describe the knowledge and practices of the Primary Health Care nurse on sarcopenia screening in the elderly. Methods: Qualitative study conducted with 24 Primary Health Care nurses. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews, recorded and later transcribed. The speeches were grouped in thematic categories, later analyzed, supported by Paulo Freire’s reference. Results: The findings showed that the primary care nurses’ knowledge of sarcopenia screening in the elderly was incipient and fragile. This reality is reflected in a gap in practice, although some instruments already require the registration of characteristics indicative of sarcopenia, such as the evaluation of the calf circumference. Final Considerations: The need to train nurses to perform sarcopenia screening and to implement a promotional and preventive care plan, which will result in improving the quality of life of the elderly assisted in Primary Care, was highlighted.
