Objectives:to estimate the incidence of dry eye, to identify risk factors and to establish a risk prediction model for its development in adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit of a public hospital. Method:concurrent cohort, conducted between March and June, 2014, with 230 patients admitted to an intensive care unit. Data were analyzed by bivariate descriptive statistics, with multivariate survival analysis and Cox regression. Results:53% out of 230 patients have developed dry eye, with onset mean time of 3.5 days. Independent variables that significantly and concurrently impacted the time for dry eye to occur were: O2 in room air, blinking more than five times per minute (lower risk factors) and presence of vascular disease (higher risk factor). Conclusion:dry eye is a common finding in patients admitted to adults intensive care units, and care for its prevention should be established.

Objective: To analyze potential triggers of moral suffering experiences of health professionals, reported in the media, during the COVID-19 pandemic and to propose a theoretical construct of analysis. Methods: Study with qualitative approach whose data source were 50 reports published online, collected passively and actively, submitted to Content Analysis with the help of ATLAS.ti software. Results: The potential moral problems that trigger moral suffering are related to the threat to moral integrity, infrastructure/logistics and teamwork problems, and emotional aspects, revealing their articulation with damage to the foundations of a healthy work environment, which generated the proposal of a construct. Final considerations: The articulation between the experiences of moral suffering and the commitment of the fundamentals of a healthy work environment has brought important contributions to the adoption of strategies to protect and stimulate moral deliberation by professionals in favor of practice and society.

Objetivo: abordar de forma crítica e reflexiva os paradoxos relacionados às condições de trabalho da Enfermagem, de (des) valorização da profissão diante da pandemia da Covid-19 e da necessidade de se pensar em promoção de ambientes de trabalho saudáveis. A doença Covid-19 é uma pandemia que está influenciando os hábitos de vida e o trabalho contemporâneo. Os profissionais da Enfermagem são o maior número de trabalhadores atuantes na linha de frente no combate a essa doença. A rotina desses profissionais já era exaustiva, mas em tempos de pandemia a carga de trabalho torna-se maior e os turnos mais estressantes, devido a vários fatores como: medo de contaminação, informações deficientes, escassez de recursos humanos e materiais. Assim, torna-se urgente promover ambientes saudáveis, conforme recomenda a Organização Mundial de Saúde, visando a segurança, saúde e bem-estar dos trabalhadores. Método: estudo reflexivo realizado a partir da literatura científica e da análise crítica das autoras, abordando condições de trabalho e valorização da Enfermagem, indicando os paradoxos relacionados ao processo de trabalho. Resultados: essa reflexão abordou importantes desafios para a Enfermagem. Ao mesmo tempo em que os profissionais lutam em defesa da vida, combatendo a Covid-19 pautados em conhecimentos científicos, atitudes humanizadas e nos preceitos éticos, a profissão ainda é desvalorizada e vivencia condições de trabalho precárias. Conclusão: a expectativa é de os holofotes permanecerem acesos para a Enfermagem, mesmo após a pandemia, "iluminando" melhores condições de trabalho e reconhecimento profissional, além de ambientes laborais saudáveis com medidas concretas para o presente e o futuro.

RESUMOObjetivo: estabelecer o grau de concordância interavaliadores na avaliação da córnea de pacientes adultos, internados em unidade de terapia intensiva de um hospital público, através do teste de fluoresceína. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo transversal com abordagem descritiva, realizado com cinco avaliadores a partir do teste de concordância na avaliação da córnea de pacientes adultos internados em unidade de terapia intensiva de um hospital público de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Oitenta e cinco pacientes foram avaliados, totalizando 170 córneas. O coeficiente kappa foi utilizado para a avaliação do grau de concordância interavaliadores e para esta análise o nível de significância adotado foi o valor p < 0,05. Resultados: verificou-se concordância geral com variação do coeficiente kappa de 0,84 a 0,93 entre os avaliadores. Os índices obtidos indicam concordâncias quase perfeitas. Conclusão: a partir dos resultados, evidencia-se que os avaliadores após capacitação para avaliação corneana estão aptos a realizar o exame da córnea em pacientes adultos internados em unidade de terapia intensiva e que a concordância interavaliadores é uma importante etapa de validação a ser utilizada na calibração de profissionais para avaliações ou análises subsequentes.

ABSTRACTObjective: To establish the degree of inter-rater reliability in the assessment of the cornea of adult inpatients of an intensive care unit of a public hospital, using the fluorescein-eye-stain test. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study, conducted with five evaluators to reach inter-rater reliability in the assessment of cornea of adult inpatients of an intensive care unit of a public hospital in the city of Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais. Eighty-five patients were evaluated, totaling 170 corneas. Kappa coefficient was used to measure the degree of inter-rater reliability, and the level of significance adopted for the analysis was p < 0.05. Results: Inter-rater reliability among evaluators was reached with a variation of 0.84 -0.93 for the kappa coefficient. The results obtained indicate an almost perfect reliability. Conclusion: These results show that, after receiving training for corneal assessment, the evaluators are able to examine cornea of adult inpatients of an intensive care unit. Inter-rater reliability is an important validation step to use in the education of professionals to perform assessment, or for further analyses.

Objective: to map the scientific evidence on strategies for coping with moral distress adopted by nurses in the context of health services in tertiary care. Method: this is a Scoping Review based on the PRISMA-ScR recommendations. The searches were performed in September 2020 in the MEDLINE®, National Library of Medicine, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, Cochrane and Biblioteca Virtual en Saúde databases. The eligibility criterion was to include studies that discussed strategies for coping with moral distress adopted by nurses in tertiary care, finding 2,041 studies, which were organized and screened in the Endnote software. The data were organized in Excel spreadsheets and analysis of the results was performed using the ATLAS.ti software. Results: the final selected sample consisted of 23 studies, which were grouped in two axes: strategies and recommendations. Four articles were included in the “strategies” axis, which reported actions taken to face moral distress, detailing the intervention and their results. The others, included in the “recommendations” axis, are articles whose focus was the experience of moral distress, suggesting important aspects to face it. Conclusion: recognition of moral distress by nurses and the opportunity for collective discussion and exchange of experiences are ways of collectively facing the situations. In addition, the institution's active participation in carrying out interventions was recommended. However, gaps were noticed in the production of studies that actually go deeper into intervention actions to cope with moral distress.
