Evaluate the patient safety climate from the perspective of the health team members at a medium-sized private hospital in a city in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil and check for relations between the sociodemographic variables and the safety climate scores. This is a descriptive, exploratory and correlational study, conducted with 123 health professionals, with approval from the Research Ethics Committee. Data were collected using the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. For analysis, we used Student's t-test, analysis of variance and Spearman's correlation (α = 0.05). The general score on the instrument was 67.50. The best domain score was found for job satisfaction (82.79) and the lowest for perceived management (58.90) and working conditions (59.58). No differences were found between the sexes, education level, presence of other employment or professional activities. The safety climate scores observed were lower than the scores recommended in the literature.

OBJECTIVES: to characterize chronic pain in institutionalized elderly and verify the associated factors. METHOD: observational, cross-sectional and non-experimental study with a quantitative approach. The study participants were 124 elderly living in Long-Term Care Institutions for the Elderly (LTCIs) in a city in Minas Gerais (Brazil). Approval for the project was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee. The elderly's clinical and sociodemographic variables and pain-related aspects were assessed. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis (chi-squared). RESULTS: the prevalence of chronic pain corresponded to 58.1%; for more than 10 years (26.4%); in lower limbs (31.9%); characterized as "twinges" (33.3%); 33.3% adopted medication treatment; the pain did not improve (41.7 %); or worsen (34.7 %). It was evidenced that elderly aged 60├ 70 old had 70% less chances of chronic pain than those aged 80 years and older (p=0.018). CONCLUSION: institutionalized elderly have a high prevalence of chronic pain, mainly in the lower limbs. No factors of pain improvement or worsening were identified and medication was evidenced as the preferred treatment. Age showed to be associated with the presence of pain. It is considered important to accomplish multiprofessional actions at the LTCIs to guide prevention and rehabilitation actions of the pain episodes in these elderly.

Aim The study aim was to map clinical characteristics and the evolution of pregnancies in pregnant women with confirmed diagnosis of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Methods Searching four databases, studies were investigated that described the evolution of pregnancies in women diagnosed with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection through laboratory tests. A scoping review was undertaken, including 35 articles published in English. Two pairs of independent researchers synthesized the data. Results Most studies were case studies or case series and had a low risk of bias. A predominance of cases was found in women over the age of 30 years who got infected in the third term of pregnancy and who had comorbidities. The prematurity index varied with the heterogeneity of the samples, and the cases of abortion occurred in combination with severe forms of infection. Caesarean section deliveries predominated, indicated mainly by respiratory decompensation caused by infection. Most women were discharged. Conclusion Based on the reviewed studies, the profile and evolution of pregnant women infected with COVID‐19 could be evaluated.

Estudo transversal, analítico e quantitativo, que objetivou avaliar o clima de segurança do paciente na perspectiva dos profissionais da equipe de Enfermagem dos setores de Clínica Médica e Cirúrgica. Participaram 52 profissionais. Os dados foram coletados utilizando-se o Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. Para análises foram utilizados os testes t de Student, análise de variância e correlação de Sperman (α= 0,05). O escore geral médio do instrumento foi 66,94 pontos. O domínio com melhor escore foi “percepção da gerência” (84,60) e os domínios com menor escore foram “condições de trabalho” (60,15) e “percepção do estresse” (55,59). Houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os sexos, nível de escolaridade com o domínio Clima de Segurança. Não houve relação entre a atuação profissional, vínculo empregatício e categoria profissional. Observaram-se fragilidades na percepção da equipe em relação ao clima de segurança, o que remete à necessidade de instituição de estratégias para promoção de um ambiente seguro.
