Objective. To evaluate the influence of the use of digital applications in medicament calculation education for nursing students. Methods. An experimental study was developed with a sample of 100 nursing students, who were divided randomly into two groups (use of the Calculation Medicines -CalcMed application -available free on the Internet, n=50) and control (conventional method of the calculator use and pre-math skills, n=50). Both groups were assessed before and after the application of the teaching strategy through a test with ten specific questions of medicament calculations. Results. The study group showed a mean score of 8.14 versus an average of 5.02 in the control group. The average time of test execution was faster in the study group compared to the control group (15.7 versus 38.9 minutes). Conclusion. The strategy of using this application positively influences learning and enables greater security in the implementation of medicament calculations.

Objective: investigate the scientific evidence on the technologies that are used for health education for deaf people. Method: integrative review carried out in October 2017, with the publications of the last 15 years, in the databases MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS via Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Web of Science and Scopus. Results: we found 3367 articles, of which 19 were included in the study. The predominant type of technology was video, present in ten studies and computerized technologies, such as web sites and online courses, in four studies. The topic most approached by the technologies was cancer, in ten studies and oral health in three. Two articles were methodological, in 17 the application of the technology with deaf occurred and in 16 of these the efficacy and/or viability for health education was proven. Conclusion: educational technologies are mostly videos that are comprehensible to deaf people and effective for use in health education.

Rev baiana enferm. 2017;31(4):e20270.Objetivo: avaliar o estado nutricional de idosos residentes em Instituições de Longa Permanência. Método: estudo descritivo e transversal com abordagem quantitativa realizado de março a abril de 2016, com amostra de 78 idosos institucionalizados. A coleta de dados ocorreu com a aplicação do instrumento Mini Avaliação Nutricional durante visitas previamente agendadas. Resultados: predominou o sexo feminino, 44 (56%), e identificou-se que há risco de desnutrição, com média de avaliação global de 17,7 (DP ± 5,2). Houve associação estatisticamente significativa entre o risco de desnutrição e as variáveis: sexo, idade e tempo de institucionalização, com p < 0,05. Conclusão: a institucionalização consiste em um fator fortemente associado a alterações no estado nutricional do idoso, o que torna necessária a adoção de medidas adaptativas pelas instituições de longa permanência para essa população no tocante ao suporte nutricional adequado que é importante para a manutenção do estado de saúde e da qualidade de vida.
The objective was to analyze the clinical profile of venous ulcers, getting familiar with received recommendations and investigating healing procedures. This is an exploratory-descriptive transversal research. The sample consisted of 51 patients with venous ulcers assisted in two vascular surgery clinics in Fortaleza from August to November 2011. Results revealed the existence of venous ulcer for more than one year in 60.8% of cases being that 44.1% of them suffered at least one relapse. The most important healing initiatives according to the patients were: rest (45.1%), limb elevation (23.5%) dressing application (19.6%). As for the place in which the dressing was prepared, 76.5% mentioned home as the primary location. It is suggested that further research on guidelines and dressing care should be carried out, as it is only through researchers’ adherence to guidelines in different scenarios that we can learn more about venous ulcer care.
