Objective:To evaluate the confidence level of nurses in nursing care in urinary retention before and after low-fidelity simulation training. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study carried out among nurses stationed in municipal care units in the interior of São Paulo State. Data were collected during the course of a pedagogical workshop that used low-fidelity simulation training. Results: The study included 42 nurses, mostly female with over 15 years of experience. After low-fidelity simulation training, nurses showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in confidence related to nursing care in urinary retention. The lowest self-attributed scores during the activity were related to the objective assessment of urinary retention. Conclusion: Low-fidelity simulated training is an effective resource for the development of nurses with respect to nursing care in urinary retention.

Prehospital emergency telephone triages are mechanisms to verify the appropriate need for care in an emergency call by telephone. Considering the high rates of trauma and clinical cases that need prehospital care, the importance of knowing how the services that send rescue teams can guarantee improved care is highlighted. The objective of this study was to characterize the services that support effective telephone triage. Literature review was conducted in 6 phases to answer the following question: How can prehospital emergency telephone triage be performed? To search for primary studies, we used specific search strategies in the databases: LILaCs, PubMed, CINAHL, LISA, ISTA, and SCOPUS. The sample consisted of 23 studies whose information was extracted using a validated tool. Among the selected studies, 2 come from CINAHL, 2 from LISA, 4 from PubMed, 1 from ISTA, and 14 from SCOPUS, which were published between 2006 and 2016 in 17 different journals with varying types of scopes and originated from 13 countries on 3 distinct continents. The articles were nonexperimental and indicated the broad use of software constructed to support the telephone triage. The prehospital emergency telephone triages are frequently performed to identify the event, deduct the need for support, and prioritize those calls that require a rescue team. They should take place with the support of institutional protocols and technological support to guarantee dynamic data and constant training of the ambulance dispatchers.

Objective: to discuss possibilities of nursing contribution for universal health coverage. Method: a qualitative study, performed by means of document analysis of the World Health Organization publications highlighting Nursing and Midwifery within universal health coverage. Results: documents published by nursing and midwifery leaders point to the need for coordinated and integrated actions in education, leadership and partnership development. Final Considerations: this article represents a call for nurses, in order to foster reflection and understanding of the relevance of their work on the consolidation of the principles of universal health coverage.

This integrative literature review identified strategies to teach peripheral venipuncture to nursing students. The following databases were searched for primary studies: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), PubMed, Web of Science, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), SCOPUS, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL). The final sample was composed of 24 studies. The literature ranged from descriptive studies to controlled clinical trials and methodologic studies to construct products/instruments for teaching peripheral venipuncture. The most frequently identified teaching strategies were theoretical contents taught via theoretical lecture, e-learning courses, video lessons, and demonstration by specialists combined with practical exercises using a mannequin, human arms, and/or haptic devices. Despite the different methods used currently, the best patient outcomes were achieved when the student received the theoretical content in an educational setting before the practical training on a mannequin and/or a virtual simulator.

The studies indicate that appropriate tools are needed to measure the true impact of the strategy on the teaching of nursing care and the training needed to use simulation as a teaching strategy.

Objective: To translate and validate the Educational Practices Questionnaire (Student Version) for the Portuguese language. Methods: Methodological instrument translation and validation study. For the validation process, the event: III Workshop Brazil -Portugal: Care for Critical Patients was set up. Results: 103 nurses participated in the research. The psychometric tests (scale validity and reliability, correlation pattern between the variables, goodness-of-fit test of the sample and sphericity) presented satisfactory results. The clusters found in the factor analysis were not in accordance with the literature. Therefore, the division the original authors had made was followed. Conclusion: The scale was called: Questionário de Práticas Educativas. The findings demonstrated good psychometric properties and suitable potential use. Further research is needed to consolidate the questionnaire and expand its dimensionality. ResumoObjetivo: Traduzir e validar para língua portuguesa o Educational Practices Questionnaire (Student Version). Métodos: Estudo do tipo metodológico, de tradução e validação de instrumento. Para o processo de validação criou-se o evento: III Workshop Brasil -Portugal: Atendimento ao Paciente Crítico. Resultados: Participaram da pesquisa 103 enfermeiros. Os testes psicométricos (validade e fidelidade da escala, o padrão de correlação entre as variáveis, o teste de adequação amostral e o teste de esfericidade) apresentaram resultados satisfatórios. Os agrupamentos encontrados na análise fatorial não apresentaram coerência com a literatura estudada. Assim, optou-se em seguir a divisão estabelecida pelos autores originais. Conclusão: A escala foi denominada: Questionário de Práticas Educativas. Os achados demonstraram boas propriedades psicométricas e um adequado potencial de uso, todavia futuras pesquisas se fazem necessárias para consolidação desse questionário, bem como a expansão de sua dimensionalidade.
