Objective: To analyze the available evidence in the literature on nursing care for women with pre-eclampsia and/or eclampsia. Methods: Integrative review searching for primary studies in the databases PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS and SciELO. Results: The sample size consisted of 17 primary studies published between January 2000 and December 2014, grouped into four categories: standardizing blood pressure measurement technique; training with simulation; instruments for standardization of care and quality of care The main nursing actions were: physical examination, early detection of signs of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, monitoring of laboratory tests, fetal assessment, qualification and training of professionals. We identified the need for standardization of care from instruments, protocols and blood pressure measurement technique, early identification and treatment of hypertensive crisis through institutional protocols and review of cases and work processes. Conclusion: Women with pre-eclampsia and/or eclampsia require specific nursing care, which must be guided by care protocols based on scientific evidence.

Background: The evaluation of quality of life in cancer patients is of interest to researchers due to its impact on health policies. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life of patients with breast and gynecological cancer, undergoing chemotherapy. Methods and Findings:This was a quantitative, descriptive and longitudinal study, conducted in the Clinical Hospital of the Triangulo Mineiro Federal University. To assess the quality of life, the Portuguese brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHO-QOL-BREF) instrument was applied. The paired Student's t-test was used for the analysis of the means of/ the scores of the domains. The study included 14 women. The lowest means were observed in the physical domain, 51.78±15.89 and 50.25±15.37, respectively before and after treatment. There was also a compromise of the psychological and environment domains, however, the data analyzed did not show statistical significance. The main limitation of this study is the sample size.

Tristeza e pesar são reações comuns entre pessoas que enfrentam o câncer, e estas reações podem influenciar sua qualidade de vida. Este estudo teve por objetivo verificar a existência de correlações entre os escores de ansiedade e depressão e domínios de qualidade de vida, nos momentos pré e pós-quimioterapia.Tratou-se de estudo observacional quantitativo, descritivo e de delineamento longitudinal-prospectivo. Participaram do estudo 14 mulheres, diagnosticadas com câncer de mama ou ginecológico, submetidas à quimioterapia, entre dezembro/2012 e abril/2013. Foram utilizados o WHOQOL-bref e Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão. A coleta de dados deu-se a partir da resposta individual das mulheres aos instrumentos. Para correlacionar os escores de ansiedade e depressão com os domínios de qualidade de vida, utilizou-se o coeficiente de correlação linear de Pearson. O domínio físico da qualidade de vida correlacionou-se negativamente com depressão, nos momentos pré e pós-quimioterapia. Houve também correlação negativa entre domínio psicológico e ambiental com ansiedade e depressão nos momentos pré e pós-quimioterapia. Em relação ao domínio social, não houve correlação. Concluiu-se que ansiedade e depressão influenciaram negativamente a qualidade de vida das mulheres estudadas nos domínios físico, psicológico e ambiental.
