Objetivo: Tem-se por objetivo analisar na literatura atual, como se dá a gestão do cuidado em saúde para pessoas com doença crônica. Método: Revisão sistemática da literatura, descritiva e qualitativa, realizada nas bases: Portal de Periódicos da CAPES, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde – LILACS, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online – MEDLINE, Google acadêmico e Scientific Electronic Library Online – SciELO. Sendo assim, foram definidos os critérios de inclusão e exclusão: textos integrais, gratuitos, publicados entre 2012 a 2022, que abordassem de forma direcionada sobre o tema, no idioma inglês, português e espanhol. Após o processo de filtragem dos critérios de inclusão, leitura dos artigos integralmente e análise minuciosa, foram selecionadas 06 publicações. Resultados: Os temas mais citados foram: descontinuidade do cuidado, fragmentação em saúde, má comunicação entre os serviços e profissionais de saúde, e por fim, a necessidade de capacitações e ações de educação permanente efetivas. Conclusão: Enfrentar os desafios do aumento da prevalência de doenças crônicas e seus impactos, exigirá grandes mudanças no sistema de saúde, bem como afetará na qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

Arboviruses are diseases caused by viruses and transmitted by contaminated saliva of hematophagous arthropods during blood meal. The objective is: to analyze scientific productions on the subject of epidemiology and collective care in the context of arboviruses. Study of the integrative, descriptive, exploratory and qualitative review modality. Data collection took place in August, 2022, in the following scientific databases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS); Online Scientific Electronic Library (SciELO); Medical Literature Review (MEDLINE/PUBMED); Web Of Science and Google Scholar. To carry out the search effectively, the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) were defined, which are: Arboviruses; Caution; Epidemiology; Health. The steps established by PRISMA were followed. 07 scientific productions on the subject were gathered. Studies from the year 2022 predominated, in which all of them addressed various aspects related to environmental health, from the symptoms of the disease to its collective impact.

Introduction: Elderly people with visual impairment tend to be more sedentary, with consequent muscle loss, balance and functionality. These factors end up leading to a decrease in the quality of life, restricting social participation by limiting activities. Objective: to evaluate, through scientific evidence, the importance of assessing visual acuity in the elderly. Methodology: The search was carried out by searching the following databases: Online Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLINE®), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Nursing Database (BDENF). The keywords used followed the description of the terms Health Science Descriptors (DeCS) and Medical Subject Heading (MESH) in Portuguese, which are: visual acuity, elderly. In order to carry out the integrated search, the “and” connective was used, uniting the descriptors. At this stage, there was no use of other filters in order to address all the available literature within the focus of interest. Results: Initially, a table was built to expose the studies containing information such as year, title, authors and place of publication. After searching the databases through the established inclusion and exclusion descriptors, 08 articles were selected in (Chart 1) for anal Introduction: Elderly people with visual impairment tend to be more sedentary, with consequent muscle loss, balance and functionality.

After searching the databases through the established inclusion and exclusion descriptors, 08 articles were selected in (Chart 1) for analysis of the integrative review. Conclusion: Given the studies pointed out in the research, it can be seen that the quality of life of elderly patients is directly linked to the quality of vision. Visual acuity assessment is a way to detect possible pathologies and even a way to prevent the appearance of factors that can trigger vision loss, which can lead to musculoskeletal injuries due to falls.

Aiming at the importance of the nurse in the different directions and health care, studies point out the daily challenge of nursing professionals in relation to the importance of considering genetic aspects and in the care of patients with rare genetic diseases, such as Progressive Ossificans Fibrodysplasia (FOP) which is a rare genetic disease that stimulates the formation of bones inside the muscles, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues progressively restricting movements, causing too much nursing care. This study aims to broaden the nurses’ knowledge about Fibrodysplasia Ossificante Progressiva (FOP), in addition to reporting the main difficulties in the care of patients with FOP; and discussing the importance of appropriate care for the carrier of this rare genetic disease by drawing up a qualified care plan. It is a research of the type bibliographic research of explanatory-descriptive character with qualitative approach, based on bibliographical reviews. According to the material analyzed, it is observed the importance of nurses’ knowledge regarding the disease and its respective treatments and types of care, and for this it is necessary that they have an adequate basis from a knowledge directed through courses, qualifications, lectures and qualified theoretical background. Consequently, in order to perform good care, nurses should guide their team about the best way to assist the patient, making it clear that there is a great challenge when it comes to the unusual, in order to show that it is possible to guarantee correct assistance for these patients.
