Activities aimed at the prevention of AEs should be integrated jointly with both the professionals and the health care institution. A culture of safety, not punishment, and improvement in the quality of care provided to patients should be priorities.

The aim of this study was to clarify the role of aesthetics in the organization and motivation of care through history. The guiding questions were: What values and aesthetic feelings have supported and motivated pre-professional and professional care? and Based on what structures has pre-professional and professional care been historically socialized? Primary and secondary sources were consulted, selected according to established criteria with a view to avoiding search and selection bias. Data analysis was guided by the categories:"habitus" and "logical conformism". It was found that the relation between social structures and pre-professionals (motherhood, religiosity) and professional aesthetic standards (professionalism, technologism) of care through history is evidenced in the caregiving activity of the functional unit, in the functional framework and the functional element.In conclusion, in social structures, through the socialization process, "logical conformism" and "habitus" constitute the aesthetic standards of care through feelings like motherhood, religiosity, professionalism, technologism and humanism.

Nurses occupy an essential position in detecting and combating these practices.

Objectives: To identify in the scientific literature the identity-related configurations inherent to the nurse’s managerial practices of a professional that works in a hospital setting, and to analyze them in the light of the Structural Dialectic Care Model (SDCM). Materials and method: The article concerns about a qualitative research where an integrative review was made enabling the selection of 15 articles, analyzed in light of the SDCM. Results: From the 15 selected articles, three thematic axes were established: Leadership, care and conflicts. Conclusions: It was concluded that the SDCM has made it possible to discover the nurse’s identity models as a managerial agent in the diverse pluralities articulated to the identity-related processes of such professional.

Objective: to identify the theoretical bases that underpin the concepts of critical thinking in Ibero-American nursing in the last ten years.Method: integrative literature review carried out in the PubMed, CUIDEN and SciELO databases, between 2006 and 2015, using the key words nursing and critical thinking.Results: 32 studies were included, which revealed the presence of nine thinkers as theoretical bases for the concept of critical thinking. It was found that there is no uniformity for the definition of the concept; however, two conceptions of critical thinking differ between authors, which were organized into two groups. Group A, composed of Alfaro-Lefevre, Peter Facione, Scheffer and Rubenfeld, Richard Paul; authors who understand that critical thinking involves skills for clinical reasoning and diagnosis, essential to decision making, and group B, consisting of John Dewey, Donald Schön, Paulo Freire and Jürgen Habermas, who understand critical thinking as an active reflective process, focused on the development of critical consciousness. These thinkers were the basis for the proposal of thought evaluation tools, teaching strategies and a theoretical-methodological nursing framework.Conclusion: the dynamic perspective of group B strengthens the dialectical character of knowledge construction, from which nursing has the potential to build itself as a social and practical science, committed to the transformation of realities. Método: revisión integrativa de literatura realizada en las bases de datos PubMed, CUIDEN y SciELO, entre 2006 y 2015, con las palabras clave enfermería y pensamiento crítico. DESCRIPTORS:Resultados: se incluyeron 32 estudios, que revelaron la presencia de nueve pensadores como bases teóricas del concepto de pensamiento crítico. Se constató que no hay uniformidad para la definición del concepto. Sin embargo, se diferencian dos concepciones de pensamiento crítico entre los autores, que se organizaron en dos grupos. El grupo A, compuesto por Alfaro-Lefevre, Peter Facione, Scheffer y Rubenfeld, Richard Paul, que comprenden que el pensamiento crítico implica habilidades para el razonamiento clínico y el diagnóstico, esencial para la toma de decisiones, y el grupo B, constituido por John Dewey, Donald Schön, Paulo Freire y Jürgen Habermas, que entienden el pensamiento crítico como un proceso activo y reflexivo, orientado al desarrollo de la conciencia crítica. Estos pensadores fueron la base para la propuesta de instrumentos de evaluación del pensamiento, estrategias de enseñanza y un referencial teórico-metodológico para la enfermería.Conclusión: la perspectiva dinámica del grupo B fortalece el carácter dialéctico de la construcción del conocimiento, a partir del cual la enfermería tiene potencial de construirse como una ciencia social y práctica, comprometida con la transformación de realidades. DESCRIPTORES:Enfermería. Pensamiento. Educación en enfermería. Formación de concepto. Revisión.

Celiac disease represents a problem in our society, not only because of its interest in terms of healthcare, but also because of its increasing prevalence in recent years and the impact it has on sufferers and their families. This integrative review investigated current knowledge about the experience of living with a gluten-free diet, as well as social support and the role played by nurses and/or associations in the process. A total of 18 articles were selected. Results revealed greater family support is needed to deal with the day-to-day issues of a gluten-free diet. Furthermore, women diagnosed with celiac disease have more psychological distress than men according to some studies. Sufferers of celiac disease report that more information is needed at all levels (hotel and catering, healthcare, social), which would help generate coping strategies. The few studies retrieved that talk about this topic show that following a gluten-free diet affects the personal, family, emotional, social, and financial dimensions of sufferers of celiac disease. The nurse tends to be the person whom those coping with the illness go to for support, although celiac disease associations are also a fundamental pillar in this support. Policy makers need to adapt health services to the needs of individuals with celiac disease.
