Objective: To measure the response time of health professionals before sound alarm activation and the implications for patient safety. Method: This is a quantitative and observational research conducted in an Adult Intensive Care Unit of a teaching hospital. Three researchers conducted non-participant observations for seven hours. Data collection occurred simultaneously in 20 beds during the morning shift. When listening the alarm activation, the researchers turned on the stopwatches and recorded the motive, the response time and the professional conduct. During collection, the unit had 90% of beds occupied and teams were complete. Result: We verified that from the 103 equipment activated, 66.03% of alarms fatigued. Nursing was the professional category that most provided care (31.06%) and the multi-parameter monitor was the device that alarmed the most (66.09%). Conclusion: Results corroborate the absence or delay of the response of teams, suggesting that relevant alarms might have been underestimated, compromising patient safety.

Objetives: To describe and analyze the contributions of Supervised Training for the training of professional nursing identity.Methodology: Qualitative, descriptive study.Were interviewed eleven nursing trainees from the eighth and ninth periods and ten stage tutors of two institutions of higher education, using as research scenario their respective teaching hospitals. Interviews were consolidated in the light of the analysis of its contents. Results:Why we are and how we are constituted nurses were issues that emerged during the research directing us to study the process of identity construction by nursing intern. Associations between being an idealized nurse and the reality experienced in the workplace point and help to understand the construction of the identity of the professional.Coclusions: In nursing professional identity is formed within a collective work environment, relationships with partners (interdisciplinary team, patient and family) inserted in work situations, marked by a hierarchical division of labor and life paths, marked by unforeseen, continuities and ruptures, successes and failures. In front of the trainee, the preceptor nurse opens the curtains of knowledge and profession, showing the daily life of nurses. This workspace helps the trainees to define yourself as a person and as a professional, contributing to the construction of professional identity.

Objective:The study's purpose has been to scrutinize the changes in women's daily life, as well as to investigate how they stand after the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS and the introduction of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). Methods: It is a descriptive and prospective study with a qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews were performed with twenty-two HIV positive women, who were enrolled in the immunology ambulatory of a university hospital located in the Rio de Janeiro city. This research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CAAE: 45955315.0.0000.5285). Results: Most women dealt positively with the changes in their daily lives after discovering the disease, looking for a way of life with quality, although they still show some difficulties in that regard. Concerning the ART, there was struggle in its beginning, however, as the time went by the adaptations occurred mainly with the family support. Conclusion: It is essential to provide better support towards women during both HIV diagnosis and treatment, so that they can improve their coping strategies.

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic has created a significant disruption in the educational systems worldwide. Some institutions opted for emergency remote education due to the need to cancel in-person activities. The aims of this paper were to evaluate the use of asynchronous methodology in health sciences education, determine whether asynchronous methodology was sacrificing overall student satisfaction, and investigate whether satisfaction improved as the program develops.Design/methodology/approachInitially, there was phase 1 that corresponded to four weeks of activities. Each professor produced a video lesson, and after each video lesson, a weekly educational activity was made available. Next, phase 2 was implemented using the same methodology, however lasting six weeks. Three questionnaires were developed, and a Likert scale was administered to verify the students’ level of satisfaction. Data were analyzed using frequency distributions, mean values, standard deviation and confidence interval. The normality of the sum data (total of the questionnaires) was tested using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test.FindingsAlthough the students pointed out that the asynchronous methodology facilitated access to the content and considered this methodology satisfactory, they expressed a reduced level of satisfaction regarding emergency remote education in general when data from the first weeks were compared to those of the previous weeks. It is clear that students became increasingly discouraged and tired over time, which motivated the institution to shift into a combination of synchronous and asynchronous methodology to improve student learning.Originality/valueTeaching in the field of health care encompasses difficult competencies that sometimes are impossible to be learned remotely, so there is a need to examine and evaluate properly the remote education in this area. With careful planning, educational institutions can evaluate their experiences during the pandemic, allowing those involved to highlight strengths and identify weaknesses to better prepare for future needs to improve remote education.

Introdução: A infecção pelo Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV) devido a sua gravidade, principalmente pela evolução das doenças oportunistas e seu caráter pandêmico, representa um problema de saúde na atualidade. Nesse contexto a religião e a espiritualidade colaboram para o enfrentamento desse agravo a saúde. Objetivos: Analisar os estigmas que envolvem as Crenças Religiosas e as Pessoas Vivendo com HIV (PVHIV). Metodologia: Estudo transversal, descritivo de natureza qualitativa, que utilizou um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado em 17 pacientes em tratamento no ambulatório de Imunologia de um Hospital Universitário do Rio de Janeiro. A análise qualitativa das falas utilizou o método da Análise de Conteúdo, visando à interpretação do sentido das narrativas dos participantes. Discussão: Os estigmas que envolvem a doença e o preconceito promovem mudanças comportamentais no indivíduo. Porém, as Crenças Religiosas e Espiritualidade influenciam na quebra de paradigmas e minimizam o sofrimento desses pacientes, consolidando uma rede de solidariedade envolvendo religião e paciente, o que proporciona melhorias na qualidade de vida desses indivíduos. Conclusão: As crenças religiosas foram identificadas como promotoras de mudanças de comportamento e transposição de estigmas relacionados a doença.

The new cultural history as a methodology proposed for research in the nursing history field A nova história cultural como proposta metodológica para pesquisas no campo da história da enfermagem Nueva historia cultural como la investigación metodológica propuesta en el campo de la historia de la enfermería ABSTRACTObjective: The study's goal has been to discuss the use of the New Cultural History as a methodology for analysis of nursing practices and behaviors related to printed materials. Methods: It is descriptive research with qualitative approach, which is derived from the reflection on the theoretical and methodological advances defended by the historian Roger Chartier in the Cultural History field. In order to establish links between the New Cultural History, which was proposed by the historian, and the Nursing History, it was reviewed 2 Doctoral Theses and 3 Master Theses produced at the Laboratory of Scientific Approaches in the Nursing History. Results: The studies showed that the methodological approach proposed by Chartier is based on the intimate relationship between representations and the effects produced by its appropriations. Conclusion: The printed text can suit different forms, and then may gain status of a document-object for the study of cultural history by allowing them to bring back an object, concept or missing person by replacing it with an image capable of representing them adequately. Descriptors INTRODUCTIONThis research aims to study the New Cultural History as a method to analyze the uses and customs of nursing related to printed materials.There is a broad consensus that documents constitute the privileged link of the present with the phenomena of the past. The past does not exist as an organized and ready thing waiting to be unveiled, but as a reality of multiple senses that is vivified in the present thanks to its mediation by historical documents. 1 Nonetheless, it is not because they are in the documents that the facts occurred exactly as they were described. The role of the researcher is to see the past through the eyes of the present and in the light of their problems; in other words, their main work is not to register, but to evaluate anchored on a theoretical basis. 2The construction of nursing as a profession has a history that is recovered thanks to the mediation of the present with the past through the documents. Some documents have the potential to be used as sources for nursing history studies, namely: photographs, films, newspapers, books, scientific journals, non-scientific journals, service manuals, folders, serials, posters, service reports, almanacs, among others.Among all types of documents, those produced by the written press have gained special relevance in the context of nursing history research, because it favors the diffusion of the signic element endowed with greater communication power in Western Society: the written word.The idea of the written press is used to designate newspapers and periodically printed newspapers, which are endowed with a constant edi...
