Objective: Discussing the factors associated with major depression and suicide risk among nursing professionals. Method: An integrative review in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO and BDENF databases, between 2003 and2015. Results: 20 published articles were selected, mostly from between 2012 and 2014, with significant production in Brazil. Nursing professionals are vulnerable to depression when young, married, performing night work and having several jobs, and when they have a high level of education, low family income, work overload, high stress, insufficient autonomy and a sense of professional insecurity and conflict in the family and work relationship. Suicide risk was correlated with the presence of symptoms of depression, high levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal accomplishment; characteristics of Burnout Syndrome. Conclusion: Suicide risk among nursing professionals is associated with symptoms of depression and correlated with Burnout Syndrome, which can affect work performance.

The perceptions that women followed up at psychosocial care centers have about themselves, other people and society, in view of their mental illness, were addressed. The influence that this service had on their identities was examined. This was a qualitative, descriptive study using topical life histories.Data were gathered through interviews, direct observation and a field diary. Thematic analysis was interpreted using Goffman's framework. The results revealed that these women's perceptions of identity differed from before to after their mental illness. They perceived that their families were distant from them, with difficulty in dealing with the illness; that professionals were welcoming; and that psychosocial centers contributed towards reconstruction and expression of identities, thereby promoting self-knowledge, guidance and emotional support. However, they saw that the service lacked refinement of actions for ensuring rights and investment in new aid strategies with the capacity to defend possible identities that are flexible and adaptable.Keywords: Personal identity.

COMUNICAÇÃO SAÚDE EDUCAÇÃO 2015; 19(54):479-90Introduction Study seeks to understand how women with mental illness undergoing treatment in a mental health service facility (re)construct and reveal their identity through their perception of self, of others and society.Identity is the set of features, images and feelings that a person recognises as being part of him or her self 1 . The discovery of identity depends on the person and the negotiations he or she undertakes with others occurring at any given moment and in any given context 2,3 . It is metamorphosis and is historically constituted, since the human being, full of possibilities, constantly (re)constructs him or herself throughout the course of his or her life and is both protagonist and author of his or her own history 4 .Thus, although the construction of identity in the contemporary world occurs within vast intertwining arenas of insecurity, in which life is bound to the dynamics of a globalized capitalist economy and interconnected with an institutionalised and permanent risk environment, living and surviving in this conjuncture enables it to be mutable, flexible and adaptable 5,6 .Goffman separates identity into three dimensions: social identity, personal identity, and ego identity. Social identity is defined by people who do not know the person in question. What they know about the individual is either what they have heard, what they have been socially permitted to know through the observation of the context which they frequent, or comes from their ancestors and information received from third parties. Personal identity, on the other hand, is constructed from a person's life stories. With respect to the ego identity, the individual is permitted to construct his or her own identity, which is more intimate, similar to the essence of the individual; how the person identifies him or herself 7 .This study concern...

Objectives: To apply the nursing process of the self-care theory by Dorothea Orem and use Social Stories as a learning tool combined with the self-care theory to children with autism spectrum disorder. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study, single case of a child with Asperger syndrome, was carried out at the child's home, based on the theory of Dorothea Orem, with the use of the Social Stories. Data were collected by means of semistructured interviews, anamnesis and nursing interventions. Results: Three weekly interventions to encourage self-care and evaluations with the mother regarding the child's development were carried out. The child evolved from the partially compensatory system to the supportive-educative system due to the increase in self-care capacity to take a bath, brush his teeth, and clean himself after intestinal elimination. Conclusion: The association of the Orem's theory with Social Stories was considered an effective strategy to encourage the child's self-care.
