Objective: To describe the prevalence and factors associated with pressure injuries related to the use of personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted using an instrument made available in social networks with 1,106 health professionals. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and compared, considering pvalue < 0.05. Results: There was a prevalence of 69.4% for pressure injuries related to the use of personal protective equipment, with an average of 2.4 injuries per professional. The significant factors were: under 35 years of age, working and wearing personal protective equipment for more than six hours a day, in hospital units, and without the use of inputs for protection. Conclusion: Pressure injuries related to the use of medical devices showed a high prevalence in this population. The recognition of the damage in these professionals makes it possible to advance in prevention strategies.
Objective: to understanding the perception of ostomized patients affected by colorectal neoplasms regarding their quality of life. Methods: qualitative research, with 15 patients in outpatient treatment. Data collected through semi-structured interviews. To organize and present data, the content analysis technique was used. Data were interpreted according to the social phenomenology of Alfred Schutz. Results: three thematic categories emerged: Quality of life: social, psychic, and spiritual influences; Personal and environmental adaptations considering the new reality; and Complications of living with an ostomy. Conclusion: patients with ostomies resulting from colorectal cancer, in general, have variations in the way they perceive their quality of life. In the physical domain, they consider the device to be vital in the treatment, but it generated, a priori, social isolation, due to embarrassment, requiring them to adapt to the new reality as to diminish its emotional impact, which frequently presents in the form of sadness and non-acceptance.
RESUMOObjetivo: comparar as percepções entre os alunos do curso de graduação em Enfermagem acerca das competências adquiridas a partir da simulação realística de baixa complexidade. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, transversal e analítico com 55 estudantes. Aplicou-se uma simulação realística e, em seguida, os participantes responderam a um questionário. Utilizaram-se testes estatísticos para a análise e os dados foram apresentados em tabelas. Resultados: identificou-se a diferença estatisticamente significativa sobre a percepção da aplicação da Sistematização da Assistência de Enfermagem (SAE) (p=0,039). Constatou-se que os alunos do quarto período tiveram uma maior percepção de que a simulação realística desenvolve as habilidades e conhecimentos necessários para a execução de procedimentos (p<0,001). Verificou-se, quanto ao domínio do conteúdo da atividade, que o quarto período se sentiu mais confiante, quando comparado aos alunos do nono período (p<0,001). Conclusão: observa-se que a simulação de baixa complexidade adequada aos diferentes semestres de Enfermagem contribui para a formação profissional, auxilia na aplicação do raciocínio lógico e ajuda a desenvolver o trabalho em equipe.

Method: this is a quantitative, transversal and analytical study with 55 students. A realistic simulation was applied and then the participants answered a questionnaire. Statistical tests were used for the analysis and data were presented in tables. Results: we identified the statistically significant difference on the perception of Nursing Care Systematization (NCS) (p = 0.039). It was found that fourth-graders had a greater perception that realistic simulation develops the skills and knowledge required to perform procedures (p <0.001). It was verified that the fourth period felt more confident when compared to the ninth period (p <0.001). Conclusion: it is observed that the simulation of low complexity appropriate to the different Nursing semesters contributes to the professional formation, helps in the application of logical reasoning and helps to develop teamwork.

Objective: to characterize the socioeconomic and clinical-epidemiological profile of people attended in an outpatient clinic specialized in complex wounds. Methods: cross-sectional study with 69 people with wounds, through the application of a questionnaire. Data analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: most participants were male (55.1%), above 60 years old (55.1%), married (40.6%), income from one to three minimum wages (69.6%). Regarding clinical aspects, 50 (72.4%) had the injury for more than six months, 32 (46.4%) had a relative responsible wound dressing, 44 (63.8%) did not have difficulties in wound dressing. Regarding how long they had the wound, pain and arterial disease were statistically significant (p=0.042; p=0.026). Conclusion: most participants were male and above 60 years old. Pain and the presence of arterial diseases were significant with regards to people with chronic wounds.
Objetivo: identificar sintomas de ansiedade e fatores associados entre profissionais de saúde durante pandemia da COVID-19. Método: estudo transversal, realizado com 1.354 profissionais da saúde, cujos dados socioprofissionais, sintomas psicológicos e físicos de ansiedade foram coletados via Google Forms entre 17 e 21 de maio de 2020, no nordeste brasileiro, e analisados pelo teste de Qui-Quadrado de Pearson e regressão logística. Resultados: Obteve-se associação entre sintomas psicológicos e idade (p=0,036), sexo feminino (p=0,015), bem entre sintomas físicos e idade (p=0,000), prestou atendimento a pacientes com COVID-19 (p=0,003), se o profissional apresentou sintomas daCOVID-19 (p=0,000), com convívio social com pessoas sintomáticas (p=0,028) e sexo (p=0,000). Conclusão: o estudo pode subsidiar melhor compreensão da vivência do profissional de saúde em relação à pandemia da COVID-19 para elaboração de políticas de cuidado dos profissionais, bem como incentivar novos estudos, tendo em vista a urgência, unicidade e magnitude da situação vivida.

Objective: to analyze satisfaction, self-confidence and performance of nursing students in realistic immunization simulation. Methods: quasi-experimental study, using the Immunization Checklist and Student Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning Scale, with 72 students, divided into Group 1 (38 seventh semester students who have not yet been in the field of practice in the Child Health discipline) and Group 2 (34 ninth semester students). Results: there was no difference between groups in terms of immunization performance (t-test: 1.701; p=0.096), as well as in terms of the degree of performance (Likelihood Ratio: 1.939; p=0.164). There was a significant difference when assessing satisfaction and self-confidence in learning (t-test: 2.346; p=0.023). Conclusion: the previous practice of immunization in the field of practice did not influence the performance of nursing students during the realistic simulation, but it did interfere with satisfaction and self-confidence in learning.
Objetivo:avaliar taxa de cicatrização em úlceras do pé diabético tratadas com biomembrana de proteínas do látex de Calotropis procera (BioMem CpLP) quando comparada ao hidrocoloide em pó. Método: ensaio clínico randomizado controlado, registrado pelo Registro Brasileiro de Ensaio Clínico (REBEC), conforme protocolo RBR-98f3j9, realizado junto a oito pessoas com pé diabético, em ambulatório de pé diabético, de março a julho de 2019. No grupo experimental (n=04), realizou-se a aplicação de biomembrana; no grupo controle (n=04), utilizou-se o pó de hidrocoloide. A taxa de cicatrização foi avaliada com 30 e 60 dias após início do tratamento. Resultados: não se constataram diferenças estatísticas entre taxas de cicatrização do grupo controle e do grupo experimental na análise temporal dos 30 dias iniciais (p=0,726) e nos 60 dias subsequentes ao início do tratamento (p=0,562). Conclusão: a BioMem CpLP apresentou taxas de cicatrização semelhantes ao produto convencional, configurando-se como alternativa eficaz e de baixo custo para o tratamento de pés diabéticos.
