Making nursing diagnoses is the second step of the nursing process. It is a source of nursing knowledge and essential for the planning and implementing of effective nursing interventions that promote quality nursing care. Integrative literature review is a research method that allows for gathering and synthesizing available evidence about a topic. Thus, the purpose of this review was to argue that integrative literature review is the initial step in the nursing diagnoses validation process. Important aspects in conducting integrative literature reviews are presented through an example, including their contributions to refine and validate nursing diagnoses proposed by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International's (NANDA-I) Taxonomy II, which can guide the planning and implementation of quality nursing. Keywords: Nursing diagnosis; Nursing research; Nursing RESUMO O diagnóstico de enfermagem é a segunda etapa do processo de enfermagem e pode ser considerada uma fonte de conhecimento científico para a enfermagem, tornando-se fundamental para o planejamento e implementação de intervenções eficazes que proporcionem a melhoria da assistência prestada ao paciente. A revisão integrativa é um método de pesquisa que permite reunir e sintetizar as evidências disponíveis sobre o tema investigado. Assim, o presente artigo teve como objetivo apresentar a revisão integrativa da literatura como etapa inicial do processo de validação de diagnóstico de enfermagem. Por meio de um exemplo, apresentam-se aspectos importantes na construção da revisão integrativa e as contribuições deste método para aperfeiçoar e legitimar os diagnósticos de enfermagem descritos pela Taxonomia II da North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA), contribuindo para sua capacidade de generalização e de predição, visando à proposição de diretrizes para o cuidado.

Objectives:to analyze the relationship between anxiety and depression symptoms, resilience and self-esteem with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics; correlate resilience and self-esteem with age and duration of the disease; check associations between anxiety and depression with measures of resilience and self-esteem among individuals with cardiovascular diseases. Method:correlational study conducted in a large university hospital in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The population was composed of adult inpatients with cardiovascular diseases. A non-probabilistic consecutive sample was composed of 120 patients. Variables of interest were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Resilience Scale, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Results:anxiety and depression symptoms were present in 32.5% and 17.5% of the patients, respectively, and were associated with the female sex (p = 0.002; p = 0.022). Manifestations of depression were associated with the presence of comorbidities (p = 0.020). More resilient patients did not present depression symptoms (p < 0.001) and anxious women were more resilient (p = 0.042). The highest scores regarding self-esteem were present in patients with anxiety and depression. Men presented higher resilience and lower self-esteem compared to women. Conclusion:patients with anxiety and depression were less resilient but presented higher self-esteem.

Objective: To identify the coping strategies of nurses in hospital emergency services, and relate them to sociodemographic and professional variables. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 89 nurses. Research instruments included a form to characterize the research subjects and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire by Folkman and Lazarus. Results: The most commonly used coping strategies were problem solving and positive reappraisal, whereas the least used was confrontation. The strategies of confrontation, positive reappraisal and escape-avoidance were associated with the male sex, not having a partner and working night shifts, respectively. Conclusion: Coping strategies can be aided by listening, monitoring, educational programs and creation of a space for discussion of work-related difficulties. ResumoObjetivo: Identificar as estratégias de enfrentamento dos enfermeiros em serviço hospitalar de emergência e relacioná-las às variáveis sociodemográficas e profissionais. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 89 enfermeiros. Os instrumentos de pesquisa foram: formulário para caracterização dos sujeitos e o Inventário de Estratégias de Enfrentamento de Folkman e Lazarus. Resultados: As estratégias de enfrentamento mais utilizadas foram: resolução de problemas e reavaliação positiva; a menos utilizada, foi o confronto. As estratégias confronto, reavaliação positiva, e fuga e esquiva foram associadas ao sexo masculino, não ter um companheiro e trabalhar em período noturno, respectivamente. Conclusão: As estratégias de enfrentamento podem ser auxiliadas por acompanhamento escuta, programas educacionais e um espaço para discussão das dificuldades relacionadas ao trabalho.

Objective: To verify self-care activities of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to analyze the relationship with sociodemographic and clinical variables. Method: A cross-sectional study was performed of 149 people using the Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire. Results: Of the 15 self-care activities analyzed, appropriate behavior was observed for aspects related to medication use and inadequate for fruit/vegetable consumption, blood sugar testing and physical exercise. The correct use of medications was correlated to marital status. Regarding inadequate behaviors, there were associations of fruit/vegetable consumption with skin color and place of residence and blood sugar testing with marital status and inverse correlations of physical exercise with systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, waist circumference and postprandial glycemia. Conclusion: The results of this research contribute by strengthening the line of care in chronic diseases and assist in divulging the importance of supported self-care. Implications for practice: The findings of this research provided information relevant to the planning of care.

Objective: to identify the coping strategies of family members of patients with mental disorders and relate them to family member sociodemographic variables and to the patient's clinical variables. Method: this was a descriptive study conducted at a psychiatric hospital in the interior of the state of São Paulo, with 40 family members of hospitalized patients over the age of 18, and who followed the patient before and during hospitalization. We used tools to characterize the subjects and the Folkman and Lazarus Inventory of Coping Strategies. Results: the coping strategies most often used by family members were social support and problem solving. Mothers and fathers used more functional strategies (self-control p=0.037, positive reappraisal p=0.037, and social support p=0,021). We found no significant differences between the strategies and other variables examined. Conclusion: despite the suffering resulting from the illness of a dear one, family members make more use of functional strategies, allowing them to cope with adversities in a more well-adjusted way.

PROSTATE CANCER RISK FACTORS: POPULATION FROM A BASIC HEALTH UNITABSTRACT: The present investigation aimed to identify prostate cancer risk factors in men assisted in a basic health unit in the state of São Paulo in November 2015. It was a descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study, with a sample of 150 male users that went to the unit for a medical appointment and/or nursing care. The most relevant risk factors were age, level of education, sedentary lifestyle, consumption of alcohol, red meat, milk and fat and a high body mass index. The most used screening test was the prostatespecific antigen exam, followed by a rectal examination. The number of participants that presented at least one prostate cancer risk factor was high and that family history prompted men to seek prevention measures, such as appointments with urologists and screening exams. DESCRIPTORS: Men's health; Prostatic neoplasms; Risk factors; Primary health care. El estudio apuntó a identificar los factores de riesgo de cáncer de próstata entre hombres atendidos durante noviembre de 2015 en un Centro de Salud del Estado de São Paulo.

Objectives: to identify self-efficacy and self-esteem levels in undergraduate nursing students and to verify the mutual relationship between these constructs and with sociodemographic variables. Method: a cross-sectional study, with a sample of 264 students from two universities. Self-esteem and self-efficacy were measured by the Brazilian versions of the Rosenberg's Self-Esteem and of the General and Perceived Self-Efficacy scales, respectively. Results: a predominance of moderate to high self-efficacy was identified, with a mean score of 35.29 and moderate self-esteem, with a mean of 23.48. Self-efficacy was associated with the male gender, priority option in the college entrance examination by nursing, satisfaction with the course and absence of overload, besides correlating positively with age and self-esteem. Conclusion: self-efficacy and self-esteem levels were moderate/high and moderate, respectively. These constructs have shown a mutual relationship and assume an indispensable role both in the individual's personal life and in the professionalization process. These findings point to the need to strengthen mental health in this population, especially in vulnerable students (female, activity overload, dissatisfaction with the course and low self-esteem and self-efficacy), in order to foster their sense of value and the belief in their abilities.
