Trata-se de um estudo exploratório-descritivo e retrospectivo com os objetivos de identificar, a partir dos dados contidos nos prontuários, diagnósticos de enfermagem; e caracterizar esses diagnósticos através de um mapeamento utilizando a Taxonomia II da North American Nursing Diagnosis Association. A coleta de dados foi realizada em outubro e novembro de 2006, aplicando-se um roteiro, com oito perguntas fechadas, em todos os prontuários (196) existentes no Programa Interdisciplinar de Geriatria e Gerontologia da Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niterói - RJ. Os dados foram agrupados e organizados para tratamento estatístico descritivo simples. Obteve-se como principais diagnósticos de enfermagem: risco de integridade da pele, memória prejudicada e dentição prejudicada. Concluiu-se que o mapeamento realizado mostrou-se em concordância com a taxonomia diagnóstica, auxiliou na construção de um instrumento padrão e validou a necessidade do uso dessa tecnologia como um sistema padrão de linguagem.

The needs of these caregivers refer to their training and information on aging. The difficulties highlighted are deterrents to quality assistance to older adults, such as: insufficient resources, environmental factor and relationship with the family. The interests are evident in relation to the care and to its more subjective relationship. Final considerations: Educational technologies, printed matter and media, developed along with the caregivers, contribute to orientation and information of caregiver, population and professionals as facilitating instruments, regarding elderly care.

this strategy can be considered a light technology of nursing care for older people with dementia. When providing this care with the support of a nurse, caregivers re feel less anxious and understand the disease better.

Objectives: To identify compromised domains of the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) for elderly individuals with leg ulcers and correlate their clinical and sociodemographic variables with the SF-36's components. Method: Exploratory and cross-sectional study conducted with 50 elderly individuals with leg ulcers. The instruments were the sociodemographic and clinical form and the SF-36. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used to analyze data. Results: Most were married, retired, and received one times the minimum wage, were Caucasians or of mixed race, and had hypertension. In regard to the SF-36, the most compromised domain was physical limitations, while social aspects and general health status were the less compromised domains. The SF-36 domains were not correlated with age, income, duration or size of the lesion or pain. Conclusion: The ulcer-related biopsychosocial aspects need to be considered in order to devise more effective nursing interventions.

No abstract

Com aumento da expectativa de vida brasileira, cresce o número de idosos. Observa-se maior demanda deles por Instituições de Longa Permanência (ILP) no Brasil, contudo são escassos dados epidemiológicos sobre saúde bucal nestas. O objetivo é avaliar as condições de saúde bucal de idosos residentes numa ILP, no município São Gonçalo (RJ), levantando a condição dentária, o uso e a necessidade de prótese e de tratamento dentário. Pesquisa quantitativa com indivíduos dos sexos masculino e feminino, funcionalmente dependentes e/ou independentes. Coleta de dados: consulta ao prontuário, entrevista e exame clínico bucal. A faixa etária foi a partir de 59 anos. CPO-D 30,37, predominando o componente perdido, tendo o grupo feminino menor número de dentes cariado. Apenas 2 apresentavam higienização ótima, 25 boa, 17 regular e 14 péssima. Mobilidade dental em 6 idosos e 52 sem mobilidade. Trinta e dois usavam prótese dentária e 26 não, mulheres com maior frequência de uso. Quarenta e nove careciam de tratamento, sendo as mulheres quem mais necessitava por estarem em número maior. Concluiu-se que as ILP necessitam de fiscalização dos órgãos públicos e odontológicos, priorizando e reivindicando profissionais de odontologia, além de estimular atividades acadêmicas para alunos da graduação e pós-graduação.

-Background -Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the two major forms of inflammatory bowel disease. The incidence and prevalence of both conditions have increased and are progressively increasing. These diseases are frequently recurrent and clinically highly severe. In Brazil, the lack of epidemiological data related to such diseases has left these patients in a vulnerable state and contributed to increased morbidity. Objective -To describe the profiles of patients with inflammatory bowel disease treated in an outpatient service in Brazil. Methods -This descriptive, exploratory, and retrospective documentary study with a quantitative approach was performed in an outpatient treatment service for inflammatory bowel disease, at a university polyclinic located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from May to July 2016. The study included 556 patients and was approved by the research ethics committee of the institution (CAAE no. 55179316.6.0000.5259/2016). Results -The data showed a high prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease in white female patients. Crohn's disease was diagnosed in more patients than was ulcerative colitis; the ileocolon was the most commonly affected location in patients with Crohn's disease. The stenotic phenotype was prevalent in patients with Crohn's disease. Conclusion -The prevalence of the stenotic phenotype in Crohn's disease in relation to others demonstrates the need for further investigations in this field of study in Brazil. In conclusion, the data showed that the epidemiologic profile of the study population is similar to that published in the national and international literature. HEADINGS -Inflammatory bowel diseases. Crohn disease. Ulcerative colitis. Epidemiology.

Objectives: to identify, in the scientific literature, the educational practices performed by nurses with the families of children and adolescents using long-term venous catheters, concerning home care. Methods: integrative review in LILACS, PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science and CINAHL databases, from August to September 2018. Results: we analyzed eight articles that met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that all studies are international, mostly North American and with low level of evidence. The educational practices found were home visits, production of printed educational materials, use of mannequins for simulation, creation of an educational video, and combined educational practices. Final Considerations: the care provided by families at home in the countries studied is more complex than in Brazil, and the conclusion is that Brazilian studies need to advance in publications related to this area.
