Background and Objectives: To analyze the golden time developed by the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) in Floriano, Piauí, Brazil. There are few productions that primarily emphasize the service’s response time (golden hour), crucial for students and professionals in the field, whose knowledge on the issue can lead to saving lives. Methods: This is a descriptive, documentary, and quantitative study that analyzed emergency care records for the year 2018. It is based on the survey of the variables of the golden time stages, their nature, and the duration of events, analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. This study met all ethical principles based on the approval opinion of the ethics committee (No. 96443518.4.0000.5660). Results: The most frequent golden time performed by Samu was 15 to 30 minutes, in 58.5% of the cases. Adult clinical urgencies and emergencies were the most common types of events (35.50%). Conclusion: The most frequent service provided by Floriano’s Samu was clinical urgencies and emergencies in adults, with a response time of 15 to 30 minutes.
Objetivo: Descrever a qualidade de vida e aspectos sociodemográficos de doentes renais crônicos em terapêutica hemodialítica em um município de médio porte do Nordeste Brasileiro. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, transversal, realizado com 21 pacientes portadores de doença renal crônica submetidos à hemodiálise. Utilizou-se a versão curta do instrumento Kidney Disease and Quality of Life Short Form, que avalia qualidade de vida. O Comitê de Ética e pesquisa aprovou a pesquisa com parecer nº 3.683.252. Resultados: Os mais acometidos pela doença são homens (p = 0,078); solteiros (p = 0,006); que ganham entre 1 - 3 salários mínimos (p = 0,011); aposentados (p = 0,011) e católicos (p = 0,003). Às médias dos escores: carga da doença renal (36,3), efeitos da doença renal na vida diária (40,0), o componente físico (39,5) e componente mental (45,1), espelham escore geral médio de qualidade de vida ruim. Porém, a dimensão de sintomas da doença renal (64,8) destaca escore moderado para qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Reforça-se que é preciso haver conhecimento acerca do universo do paciente portador da doença renal crônica, assim, podem ser promovidas mudanças, como maior participação dos familiares e maior atenção da equipe no cuidado dos usuários.
