This is a descriptive study conducted in a university hospital with the purpose to apprehend some aspects influencing human motivation and their implications to work results. A recorded semi-structured interview was used for data collection which was applied to 18 members of a nursing team, of whom 6 were nurses and 12 were nursing auxiliaries and technicians. The apprehended material was submitted to the content analysis technique, which enabled the identification of "Work Itself" as the most frequently cited category considered to be motivating and "Work Organization" as the most unmotivating. The most cited suggestions referred to "Work Organization" and to "Interpersonal Relationship".

the clinical simulation followed by debriefing promotes the understanding of the link between action and achievements in learning.

IntroductionHospitalised patients with nasogastric/nasoenteric tube (NGT/NET) are at constant risk of incidents; therefore, healthcare professionals need to routinely monitor risks and adopt strategies for patient safety and quality of care.AimThis study aimed to evaluate the NGT/NET-related incidents in hospitalised patients and associated factors.MethodsThis is a multicentre study, with a prospective cohort design. Data will be collected at the general medical ward of seven Brazilian hospitals in the north, northeast, southeast and south. The sample will consist of 391 patients that require an NGT/NET during hospitalisation. Three different methods will be used to identify the incidents: (1) healthcare professionals and patients/caregivers will be required to report any NGT/NET-related incidents; (2) researchers will visit the wards to get information about the incidents with healthcare professionals and patients/caregivers; (3) the researchers will review the medical records looking for information on the occurrence of any NGT/NET-related incidents. Demographic, clinical and therapeutic details will be obtained from the medical records and will be registered in an electronic data collection tool developed for the purposes of this study. The complexity of patients will be assessed by the Patient Classification System, and the severity of comorbid diseases will be assessed through the Charlson Comorbidity Index.Implication for practiceThe results may encourage the use of evidence effectively to influence the scientific foundation for clinical practice and the development of evidence-based policies that will prevent, manage and eliminate complications caused by NGT/NET-related incidents, and improve the quality and safety of care provided to hospitalised patients.Ethics and disseminationThe study has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Detailed information about the study can be provided by the principal investigator. The findings will be reported through academic journals, seminar and conference presentations, social media, print media, the internet and community/stakeholder engagement activities.

The learning process mediated by information and communication technology has considerable importance in the current context. This study describes the evaluation of a Stage 3 corresponded to its availability to students. Results confirm the importance of information technology and information as instruments for a mediating teaching practice in the integration between valid knowledge and the complex and dynamic reality of health services. As a result of the students' favorable evaluation of the approximation with the reality of nursing work and satisfaction for performing the activity successfully, the WebQuest method was considered valid and innovating for the teaching-learning process. Evaluación de la WebQuest administración de recursos materiales en enfermería por alumnos del curso de graduaciónEl proceso de aprender mediado por las tecnologías de la información y comunicación asume enorme importancia en el contexto actual. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir la evaluación de una WebQuest, en la temática "administración de recursos materiales en enfermería"; fue desarrollado en tres etapas: la Etapa 1 consistió en el aspecto pedagógico de elaboración y definición del contenido; la Etapa 2 envolvió la organización del contenido, inclusión de imágenes y conclusión del acabamiento y la Etapa 3, correspondió a la disponibilización a los alumnos. Los resultados confirmaron la importancia de las tecnologías de la informática e información como instrumentos para la práctica docente mediadora en la integración entre conocimientos válidos y realidad compleja y dinámica de los servicios de salud. La evaluación de los alumnos fue favorable para la aproximación a la realidad del trabajo de los enfermeros y la satisfacción por el cumplimiento de la actividad con éxito, lo que permitió considerar la metodología WebQuest como válida e innovadora para el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje.Descriptores: Informática Aplicada a la Enfermería; Educación en Enfermería; Tecnología Educacional.
