The Education for Work in Health Program (PET-Health) is a strategy associated with Pro-Health which recommends actions to transform vocational training in health through greater integration among teaching, community, and service. The purpose of this article is to report, based on the experiences of nursing students at the University of Rio Grande do Norte, the role of PET-Health in the nursing education process. Actions carried out, dynamic activities such as DIY (do-it-yourself), group activities, role playing, videos, and music, among others, brought together teaching, research, and extension and encouraged reflection in the nurse's education process, engendering a fresh look on the conformation of knowledge and daily practices. The interactions, in turn, drove the exchange of knowledge, interdisciplinarity, and a critical and reflective posture among the mediators of this process. These practices have contributed to providing unique training to future nurses, since they emphasized the principles of the Health System and the needs of the population. Strategies such as these should be encouraged and enhanced in order to contribute to education and health practices, making workers aware of and engaged with the population's everyday health needs.Resumo O Programa de Educação para o Trabalho na Saúde (PET-Saúde) é uma estratégia associada ao Pró-Saúde que preconiza ações para a transformação da formação profissional em saúde, mediante maior integração entre ensino, serviço e comunidade. Neste trabalho, objetiva-se relatar, com base nas vivências dos acadêmicos de enfermagem da Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, o papel do PET-Saúde no processo de formação do enfermeiro. As ações desenvolvidas, dinâmicas como bricolagem, atividades em grupo, dramatizações, vídeos, músicas, entre outras, articulavam ensino, pesquisa e extensão e estimularam a reflexão da formação do enfermeiro, provocando um novo olhar para a conformação dos saberes e práticas cotidianas. Por sua vez, as interações estabelecidas estimularam a troca de conhecimentos, a interdisciplinaridade e a postura crítica e reflexiva dos mediadores desse processo. Essas práticas contribuíram para uma formação diferenciada dos futuros enfermeiros, uma vez que enfatizavam os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde e as necessidades da população. Estratégias como essas devem ser estimuladas e potencializadas, na perspectiva de contribuir para a formação e as práticas em saúde, tornando os trabalhadores conscientes e engajados com as necessidades cotidianas da saúde da população.

Objective: To validate the construct and measure the trustworthiness of a questionnaire aimed at assessing HIV/AIDS coping actions developed by health professionals in Primary Health Care. Method: A methodological study carried out with 397 primary health care professionals in two municipalities in the Northeast region of Brazil. The construct validity was developed by the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and the reliability analyzed by the reliability and reproducibility. Results: The validation determined six factors retention that composed the six domains of the questionnaire. Internal consistency was 0.91 and quality of the confirmatory analysis adjustment was 0.998 for Goodness of Fit Index. The domains presented Kappa values between 0.833 and 0.997. Conclusions: The final questionnaire was composed of 18 items and presented feasibility of application, and potential to evaluate actions for HIV/AIDS control in Primary Health Care.

Objective: to discuss the paths taken by Brazilian Nursing in the development of terminological subsets of the International Classification for Nursing Practice. Method: documentary research, carried out in master’s dissertations and doctoral theses, which developed terminological subsets, available at the Bank of Doctoral Theses and Master’s Dissertations of the Under-graduation Personnel Improvement Coordination. The variables were analyzed were institution, year; academic level, type of health service, methodological approach, clientele, theoretical reference, validation of terms, cross mapping, modeling of new concepts, validation of statements, method used for elaboration, term collection, finalization and dissemination. Results: 124 doctoral theses and master’s dissertations were found, 91 were excluded and 33 were included, 23 (69.70%) of which were master’s dissertations, with the highest production in 2014 (n=10; 30.30%), with emphasis on the Northeast (36.36%); the ‘Primary Care’ scenario, with six studies (18.18%); and the predominant clientele was cancer patients. As for the methodological characteristics, in 96% of the studies, the quantitative approach was used; in 2%, a qualitative approach; and 2% associated the quantitative and qualitative approaches. As for the type of study, 60% were methodological and 24% descriptive-exploratory, with the Horta model being the most used (36%). Conclusion: the paths are successful, yet still permeated by weaknesses in the validations and potentialities to standardize the language.

Objective: To understand how the nursing staff perceives the care provided to people in situations of psychiatric urgencies and emergencies in the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU – Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência). Method: Descriptive and qualitative study conducted in the Northeast region of Brazil with 34 of the SAMU nursing workers. Data were obtained by semi-structured interviews and processed by the Thematic Analysis. Results: The analysis of interviews allowed the identification of three categories: mechanical practice, need for qualification and (de)humanization of care. The results showed that the care offered to users in psychiatric urgency or emergency situations is based on mechanistic and specific actions. Final considerations: Nursing workers perceive that the care for people in situations of psychiatric urgency and emergency in SAMU is mainly based on physical and chemical containment measures, performing a little resolute and dehumanized care and raising the need for professional qualification.

Objective: to validate the terms of the specialized nursing language used in care for hospitalized patients with Pressure Injury, identified in nurses’ records, mapping them with the terms of the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP® 2017). Methods: methodological study, carried out at a School Hospital in 2018. It was performed: extraction of terms of medical records; normalization; cross-mapping between extracted terms and those in ICNP®; distribution in the seven axes; theoretical definition and validation of terms. Results: 27,756 terms were extracted. The normalization resulted in 370 relevant terms, being: 225 listed and 145 not listed in the ICNP®, being 60 similar, 13 more comprehensive, 38 more restricted and 34 without agreement, all of which are validated. Conclusion: this study identified and validated terms used by nurses to assist people with Pressure Injury. These may contribute to the unification of professional nursing language in care for these clients.

Objectives: to develop and validate conceptual and operational definitions of nursing diagnoses of the International Classification for Nursing Practice for people living with Aids. Methods: methodological study with 100 individuals with Aids, in a hospital school. In addition, 19 nurses selected from the Lattes platform acted as experts in the validation process. The research was conducted, using three moments: identification and validation of the nursing diagnoses; construction of the conceptual and operational definitions of the diagnoses, and content validation, using the content validity index. Results: a total of 35 diagnoses were identified and 18 had their conceptual and operational definitions validated, with validity index of ≥ 0.8. Conclusions: the construction of the conceptual and operational definitions enables nurses to analyze the clinical inferences and endorse the nursing diagnosis, contributing to its predictive capacity.

Objetiva-se descrever a atuação da atenção básica na assistência a pessoas vivendo com HIV/Aids em uma região de saúde do Rio Grande do Norte. Este trabalho consiste em uma pesquisa descritiva, realizada no semiárido do Rio Grande do Norte (RN), especificamente na VI Região de Saúde. Tem como participantes da pesquisa os  profissionais de saúde da Atenção básica de 13 municípios da região. Como instrumento de coleta de dados foi utilizado um questionário contendo 47 questões, os quais foram organizados em três domínios: 1-Acolhimento; 2-Diagnóstico; 3-Manejo clínico, analisados a partir de estatística descritiva e aprovado pelo CEP-UERN sob parecer: 2.567.260. A partir do estudo constatou-se que a assistência direcionada a pessoas que vivem com Hiv nesta região encontra-se fragilizada, com uma atenção básica pouco estruturada e com forte dependência dos serviços de alta complexidade situados nas grandes cidades do estado.
