Objective:To describe the phenomenon of child neglect and understand it in a gender context. Method: Retrospective, quantitative, and exploratory study that analyzed reports of violence by a child and adolescent protection network in a Brazilian city. The theoretical and methodological basis applied was TIPESC (Theory of Nursing Praxical Intervention in Collective Health), with a gender emphasis. Results: Neglect of children under the age of ten represents more than half the reports received over all the years studied; more boys than girls suffered neglect and 41.4% of the reports of neglect involved children under than age of three; women were identified as being solely responsible in 67.9%, and as accessories in 17.3% of the incidents reported. Conclusion: Child neglect is a complex matter, the gender subordinate status inflicted on these children and their mothers who are responsible for their care underscore the social vulnerability of this group. DESCRIPTORS INTRODUCTIONBrazil has legal provisions protecting children and adolescents from all varieties of violence, including neglect. Among many other requirements, the 1988 Federal Brazilian Constitution most particularly governs rules on citizenship and personal dignity in order to promote the wellbeing of all, with no discrimination or age limit. Its text on the rights of citizens guarantees "education, health, nourishment, work, home, leisure, security, social security, maternity and child protection, and aid for the unprotected" (1) . Brazilian public policy relating to children and adolescents is protective and promotes healthy growth and development. The Child and Adolescent Statute, enacted in 1990, establishes that children and adolescents are entitled to all inherent human rights and must be guaranteed the means for their full development. Anyone who inflicts neglect upon, or any other offense against, the integrity of, children and adolescents, shall be penalized for such act or omission (2) . Brazil's National Policy for Morbidity and Mortality through Accident or Violence confers a material role upon the health sector to deal with these offenses, without prejudice to the liability of other sectors of society, and recommends joint action with a number of different social sectors (3) . In 2001, the city of Curitiba, capital of the State of Paraná, criated the Network for the Protection of Children and Adolescents at Risk of Violence. The network's regulations (4) , drawn up in 2004, established the types and nature of acts of violence against children and adolescents susceptible to confinement in municipal institutions. It defined the categories of violence as being interfamily violence (committed by a family member inside or outside the home), extrafamily violence (occurring outside the family circle, where the aggressor could be any individual), auto aggression (including suicide and conduct regarded as threatening to the individual's physical integrity), and fetal violence (committed by a pregnant woman against the fetus or by a third p...

Objective:To analyze the scientific literature on preventing intimate partner violence among adolescents in the field of health based on gender and generational categories. Method: This was an integrative review. We searched for articles using LILACS, PubMed/MEDLINE, and SciELO databases. Results: Thirty articles were selected. The results indicate that most studies assessed interventions conducted by programs for intimate partner violence prevention. These studies adopted quantitative methods, and most were in the area of nursing, psychology, and medicine. Furthermore, most research contexts involved schools, followed by households, a hospital, a health center, and an indigenous tribe. Conclusion: The analyses were not conducted from a gender -and generation-based perspective. Instead, the scientific literature was based on positivist research models, intimately connected to the classic public healthcare model and centered on a singular dimension.

Las fuentes de datos fueron las denuncias de violencia mantenidos por la Red de Protección en Curitiba entre los años 2010-2012 y entrevistas semi-estructuradas con 16 adolescentes alojados. Las variables cuantitativas se analizaron mediante el programa SPSS y los cualitativos por la análisis de contenido. Resultados: Los adolescentes fueron sometidos a la violencia en el hogar y en el exterior, como víctimas o espectadores. La violencia fue más frecuente en el hogar, centrándose principalmente en las chicas con matices marcados de violencia de gé-nero. Conclusión: Más que encontrar la magnitud del problema, el estudio puede servir de base para calificar la asistencia a las personas víctimas de este fenómeno. DESCRIPTORES ABSTRACTExploratory and descriptive study based on quantitative and qualitative methods that analyze the phenomenon of violence against adolescents based on gender and generational categories. The data source was reports of violence from the Curitiba Protection Network from 2010 to 2012 and semi-structured interviews with 16 sheltered adolescents. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20.0 and the qualitative data were subjected to content analysis. The adolescents were victims of violence in the household and outside of the family environment, as victims or viewers of violence. The violence was experienced at home, mostly toward girls, with marked overtones of gender violence. More than indicating the magnitude of the issue, this study can give information to help qualify the assistance given to victimized people and address how to face this issue.

RESUMO:O gerenciamento deficiente dos Resíduos de Serviço de Saúde prejudica a saúde ambiental e populacional, além de trazer riscos de acidentes de trabalho. Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar fragilidades do processo de gerenciamento desses resíduos junto a trabalhadores que atuam em ambientes de diferentes complexidades tecnológicas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa descritiva realizada com 29 profissionais responsáveis pelo gerenciamento dos resíduos produzidos na instituição, 20 atuantes em hospital e 9 em Unidades de Saúde da Família. Foi possível perceber que os profissionais conhecem parcialmente o manejo dos resíduos e à medida que este se afasta do serviço seu manejo é menos conhecido, constituindo mais uma evidência do processo de fragmentação do trabalho em saúde. A compreensão do manejo dos Resíduos THE MANAGEMENT OF THE HEALTH SERVICES' WASTE:A PROBLEM TO BE FACED ABSTRACT: The inadequate management of Health Service Waste is harmful to environmental and population health and brings risks of work accidents. This study aimed to identify weak points in the process of management of this waste through questioning workers who function in environments with differing technological complexity. This qualitative, descriptive research was undertaken with 29 professionals responsible for the management of the waste produced in the institution, 20 working in hospital and 9 in Family Health Centers. It was possible to perceive that the professionals are partially familiar with the management of the waste, and that as it moves away from the service, its management is less known, constituting more evidence of the process of fragmentation of work in health. Understanding the management of Health Service Waste can contribute to reducing the risk of work accidents and the environmental impact of the health services' actions. DESCRIPTORS: Health services' waste; Waste management; Worker's health.

Objective Identify nursing diagnoses involving a hypothetical situation of domestic violence against a child and the respective degrees of accuracy. Method An exploratory, evaluative, case study was conducted using a quantitative and qualitative approach, with data collected using an online instrument from 26 nurses working in the Municipal Health Network, between June and August 2010, in Curitiba, and also during the first half of 2014 in São Paulo. Both of these cities are in Brazil. Nursing diagnoses and interventions from the International Classification of Nursing Practices in Collective Health were provided, and accuracy was verified using the Nursing Diagnosis Accuracy Scale. Results Thirty-nine nursing diagnoses were identified, 27 of which were common to both cities. Of these, 15 were scored at the null level of accuracy, 11 at high accuracy and 1 at medium accuracy. Conclusion The difficulty the nurses had in defining diagnoses may be associated with the fact that nursing care generally focuses on clinical problems, and signs expressing situations of domestic violence against children go unnoticed. The results demonstrated the difficulty of participants in selecting the appropriate nursing diagnosis for the case in question.
