The aim of this study was to investigate the vulnerability of adolescent students related to sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), identifying the main risk behaviors and prevention. This quantitative, cross-sectional study was performed in three public schools in Imperatriz--Maranhão, with 295 adolescents, using a structured questionnaire. The results show that: most young people (86.3%) who used a condom the last time they had intercourse, usually keep this practice, 82.8% of adolescents who understand the concept of HIV protect themselves against these infections and believe the main form of contamination is through sex, infected blood or through the placental barrier. We conclude that most teenager participants showed coherent knowledge about sexual practices and risk behaviors that make them vulnerable to STD/HIK presenting a positive aspect for the prevention of these diseases.

The aim of the study was to describe the construction of a course on peripheral venipuncture using the Information and Communication Technologies. This is a methodological research, developed at the Federal University of Ceara from January to March 2012. The construction phases are: the analysis, design and development according to the theoretical framework of Galvis-Panqueva. In the analysis, objectives, content target audience, the study environment and technology infrastructure were delimited. During the design phase the environment interface and navigation structure of the course were evaluated. The development consisted in the materialization of all that was designed in the previous phase Once all three phases of construction of the course were conducted it was available in the Virtual Learning Environment SOLAR. The finalproduct of the course is presented as support of nursing students and consequently the training of future nurses in their care practice on peripheral venipuncture.

EL CUMPLIMIENTO DEL TRATAMIENTO CON ANTIDIABÉTICOS ORALES EN USUARIOS DE LA ATENCIÓN BÁSICARESUMEN: El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el cumplimiento del tratamiento farmacológico por los usuarios de antidiabéticos orales. En la investigación participaron 437 pacientes diabéticos de ambos sexos, con edades entre 18 a 92 años, de 12 unidades básicas de salud de la ciudad de Fortaleza -Ceará, Brasil, de marzo a junio de 2009. Con el fin de evaluar la adhesión a los antidiabéticos orales se aplicaron en los hogares dos pruebas: el Test de Batalla y el test para medir la adhesión al tratamiento, además del recuento de pastillas. Se constató que el 74,6%, 86,3% y 71,2% se consideran no cumplidores del tratamiento, de acuerdo a las pruebas aplicadas, respectivamente. Entre los que no cumplen el tratamiento con antidiabéticos, el 95% faltaron a las consultas del programa de tratamiento para la diabetes (p = 0,000) y el 76% presentan los niveles de glucosa en la sangre más altos que los valores recomendados (p = 0,013). Tal vez el núcleo del problema está en su relación profesional/cliente y en la educación para la salud. Por lo tanto, el rescate de las bases de la promoción de la salud debe impregnar la actuación de los profesionales que intervienen en el cuidado de los pacientes diabéticos.

ABSTRACT:The objective was to validate an educational hypermedia about peripheral venipuncture. This is a methodological study, conducted from January to October 2012, among nursing specialists and students. Binomial and paired t-tests were used for the analysis, where values of p<0.05 were considered statistically significant. The hypermedia content was considered effective by the specialists, because the values of the proportion among the specialists were greater than 85%. The hypermedia was classified as "very good" and "good" by 92.3% and 7.7% of students, respectively. It was deemed to be a resource that facilitates and complements the teachinglearning process. The hypermedia will assist the practice of nursing in the area of peripheral venipuncture, providing opportunities for future nurses to be qualified and able to promote health among the patients in their care.

This cross-sectional study aimed to identify nursing diagnoses in critical patients at risk of developing pressure ulcer. It was carried out at an Intensive Care Unit in Fortaleza-CE, Brazil, using an intentional sample of thirteen subjects at risk of pressure ulcer, evaluated according to the Waterlow scale. In total, 45 nursing diagnoses were evidenced, seventeen of which were clinically significant for the development of pressure ulcer. The frequency levels for nine of these nursing diagnoses were ≥ 80%, mainly: Impaired skin integrity (100%), Impaired walking (87%), Impaired swallowing (80%), Impaired bed mobility (80%) and Impaired gas exchange (80%). The knowledge of those nursing diagnoses is important in detecting the effects and clinical basis of skin lesions.
