A transparência metodológica na pesquisa qualitativa é fator que contribui para sua confiabilidade, devendo ser garantida pelos pesquisadores. A utilização do critério de fechamento amostral por saturação é freqüente, entretanto a maneira como este processo ocorreu é raramente explicitado nos relatórios de pesquisa. Dificuldades técnicas para uma constatação objetiva da saturação também são comuns entre os pesquisadores qualitativos. Neste texto, propõe-se um modo prático de organizar o trabalho de fechamento amostral por saturação, expondo uma seqüência de oito passos procedimentais de tratamento e análise de dados coletados em entrevistas não-dirigidas com questões abertas ou em grupos focais. Almeja-se contribuir para que os pesquisadores explicitem objetivamente o modo como a saturação ocorreu e, aos seus leitores, conhecer como se deu este processo.

IntroductionChronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is an anomaly of the normal functioning of the venous system caused by valvular incompetence with or without the obstruction of venous flow. This condition can affect either or both of the superficial and the deep venous systems. Venous dysfunction can even result in congenital or acquired disorders, and its complications include venous leg ulcers (VLUs). The objective of this systematic review is to determine the effectiveness of Unna boot in the treatment of wound healing of VLU by assessing the quality of the available evidence.Methods and analysisA literature search in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, BVS/BIREME, Embase, ProQuest, BDTD, Thesis and Dissertation Catalog, Sao Paulo Research Foundation/Thesis and dissertation, OPEN THESIS, A service of the US National Institute of Health, Center for Reviews and Dissemination-University of New York and SciElo published in the last 10 years, the period from January 1999 to March 2019.

Objective: Identify, analyze and understand the social representations of nursing professionals about burnout syndrome. Method: Qualitative study with nursing professionals who worked in the direct assistance to oncologic patients, conducted through semi-structured interview, using the technique of content analysis, anchoring the interpretations in the theory of social representations. Results: Seven professionals participated; after analysis, two categories emerged: “The stress of professionals, the naturalization of suffering and self-care strategies”; and “Ressignifications, learning in the oncologic sector and network gaps”. The representations about stress and the relationship of the professionals with the daily practice were predominant. Final Considerations: The nursing professionals represented the burnout syndrome socially as stress and made important reflections on the subject in the context of daily work. Concepts that determine the behavior of professionals were perceived as mechanisms of confrontation. In the vision of this social group, spirituality was revealed as a therapeutic strategy.
