Scoping reviews are a useful approach to synthesizing research evidence although the objectives and methods are different to that of systematic reviews, yet some confusion persists around how to plan and prepare so that a completed scoping review complies with best practice in methods and meets international standards for reporting criteria. This paper describes how to use available guidance to ensure a scoping review project meets global standards, has transparency of methods and promotes readability though the use of innovative approaches to data analysis and presentation. We address some of the common issues such as which projects are more suited to systematic reviews, how to avoid an inadequate search and/or poorly reported search strategy, poorly described methods and lack of transparency, and the issue of how to plan and present results that are clear, visually compelling and accessible to readers. Effective pre-planning, adhering to protocol and detailed consideration of how the results data will be communicated to the readership are critical. The aim of this article is to provide clarity about what is meant by conceptual clarity and how pre-planning enables review authors to produce scoping reviews which are of high quality, reliability and readily publishable.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been widely used for treating oncological and hematological diseases. Although HSCT has helped to improve patient survival,

Objective To analyze the process of recording transfusion monitoring at a public teaching hospital.Methods A descriptive and retrospective study with a quantitative approach, analyzing the instruments to record transfusion monitoring at a public hospital in a city in the State of Minas Gerais (MG). Data were collected on the correct completion of the instrument, time elapsed from transfusions, records of vital signs, type of blood component more frequently transfused, and hospital unit where transfusion was performed.Results A total of 1,012 records were analyzed, and 53.4% of them had errors in filling in the instruments, 6% of transfusions started after the recommended time, and 9.3% of patients had no vital signs registered.Conclusion Failures were identified in the process of recording transfusion monitoring, and they could result in more adverse events related to the administration of blood components. Planning and implementing strategies to enhance recording and to improve care delivered are challenging.

Objective: to investigate symptoms of depression and anxiety and their association with the sociodemographic characteristics of undergraduate nursing students. Methods: a cross-sectional analytical study carried out with students from the Faculty of Nursing at Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora from June to July 019. Data were collected through a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories. Results: 192 students participated, with a mean age of 21.44 (±3.56) years. 85.93% of participants were female. The mean depression score was 22.40 (±12.35), and anxiety was 17.56 (±11.98). There was a difference in the mean of the scales for sex and psychotropic drugs (p<0.05). Women presented moderate and severe classification for both scales. Severe symptoms prevailed among students from the 6th to the 10th semester (18.22%). Conclusion: there was an association between depression and anxiety symptoms related to gender and psychotropic drugs.

RESUMO Este artigo, que apresenta as vivências de adultos submetidos ao transplante de medula óssea autólogo, resulta de uma investigação qualitativa, do tipo estudo de caso, envolvendo sete pessoas com idades entre 18 e 59 anos, residentes em um município do Interior de Minas Gerais, que vivenciaram este tipo de transplante e tiveram alta no período de outubro de 2004 a setembro de 2010. Os dados empíricos foram coletados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, em visitas domiciliares. Na análise do conteúdo evidenciou-se que as respostas ao processo de transplante iniciam-se e vão se modificando desde o diagnóstico da patologia, passando pela definição e vivência do procedimento até o momento da alta. Identificou-se que a vivência dos sujeitos passa pelo desequilíbrio das rotinas da vida, pelo isolamento social e por reações que variam desde o medo e a ansiedade até a felicidade. Esta advém no momento da alta, que chega a ser considerada como uma segunda data de aniversário. Concluiu-se que o cuidado de enfermagem influencia e promove impactos na recuperação do paciente desde o diagnóstico até a alta, sendo relevante que o plano de cuidados para a alta se inicie desde a admissão do paciente para o transplante.

Este artigo apresenta uma investigação qualitativa, apoiada nos pressupostos teóricos de Dorothea Orem, que objetivou compreender como as orientações fornecidas no momento da alta sobre os cuidados relacionados ao transplante de medula óssea influenciam no autocuidado após a alta. Foram sujeitos sete adultos de um município de Minas Gerais submetidos ao transplante e que obtiveram alta hospitalar entre outubro de 2004 e setembro de 2010. A coleta dos dados foi realizada em janeiro de 2011 por meio de visitas domiciliares, entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação. A partir da análise temática os resultados apontaram para uma discussão sobre as orientações recebidas no momento da alta e sobre os requisitos para o autocuidado após a alta do transplante. Conclui-se que as necessidades de autocuidado evidenciadas por este estudo reforçam a importância da sistematização do cuidado de enfermagem a fim de que as orientações no momento da alta representem efetiva contribuição à reabilitação dos pacientes.
