Objective: To describe the experience of undergraduate Nursing students at the Federal University of Alagoas during the implementation of the Nursing Process to an individual affected by Fournier's Syndrome. Methods: Descriptive study, of the experience report type, based on the experience of Nursing students, during the curricular activities of the Supervised Internship in an Intensive Care Unit of a public hospital in Alagoas. The experience occurred throughout the month of October, 2019. The implementation of the Nursing Process was guided according to the Theory of Basic Human Needs, proposed by Wanda Aguiar Horta. Results: The Nursing Process was implemented, based on its six phases, which identified the individual's problems and enabled the survey of the necessary interventions to carry out care, as the theory suggests. The implementation of this scientific tool, in a dynamic and interrelated way, provided safer and more humanized hospital care to the individual. Conclusion: The fulfillment of the six phases of the Nursing Process allowed the Nursing students to undergo the hospital experience in an enriching way, because it contributed not only to the satisfactory evolution of the assisted patient, but also to the strengthening of the teamwork and of Nursing as an applied science.

Objective: to identify nursing care for people with heart failure and map them to basic human needs. Methods: Scoping review, based on the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute, based on Cummulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Banco de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE via EBSCO).

Objective: To identify in the scientific literature how nursing theories have been used in nursing care for hypertensives. Methods: Integrative review with database searches: VHL, SCOPUS, CINAHL, LILACS, PubMed and Web of Science. 32 articles were found of which four were selected for the final sample. Results: The nursing theories evidenced in the publications were: Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory, used as a basis for identifying self-care deficits and related factors in hypertensive patients, as well as for strengthening self-efficacy and improving the quality of life of patients with hypertension; Sister Callista Roy's Theory of Adaptation, used as a means of care for people with hypertension and family members in adapting to the process of self-care and coping with hypertension; and Theory "Human Becoming" by Rosemarie Rizzo Parse, from which the role of the person with hypertension in their treatment process should be encouraged by the nurse, who is the mediator of the self-care process. Conclusion: The application of theories was more focused on aspects that interfered with the self-care of hypertensive patients, a context in which nurses perform care aimed at promoting the subjects' autonomy and independence.

Objective: To develop a nursing consultation instrument for elderly women with Urinary Incontinence. Methods: Methodological study carried out in three stages: identification of adaptive problems based on the theory of Callista Roy through the literature review, the identified data were collected using a structured form, the content was evaluated by specialist nurses using the validation technique by consensus, culminating in the elaboration of the instrument.

Objective: To construct pre-hospital nursing intervention algorithms for trauma victims. Methodology: Literature Narrative Review, between 2008 and 2019, in the main databases. Two independent reviewers carried out the critical evaluation, extraction and synthesis of data. The construction of the algorithms resulted from the interpretive process of the narrative review by three experts. The theoretical model of Virginia Henderson was used. Results: Seventeen documents were obtained, six were included in the development of the metaparadigm Health, Person and Environment and 16 were included in the development and construction of assessment, diagnosis and nursing interventions algorithms for trauma victims. Conclusions: The review enabled the operationalization of Henderson's theoretical model for pre-hospital care, allowing the creation of algorithms to guide nursing practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To reflect theoretically on the importance of Peplau's Theory of Interpersonal Relations, contextualized with the process of formation of the nurse's identity as a therapist in mental health and psychiatry. Methodology: From the study of Peplau's work on Interpersonal Relations in Nursing and other texts, the reflection was organized in three axes: the theory of interpersonal relations, the therapeutic relationship in Peplau's theory and the counseling sub-role. Results: The three axes were detailed, combining the contributions of the literature, with new possibilities of application of the theoretical framework. Conclusion: The Theory of Interpersonal Relations focusing on the concept of counseling enables reflections on the representation of nurses as therapists and strengthens nursing actions in the context of mental health care.

Objective: To discuss the applicability of the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) in the light of the Comfort Theory, relating the range of care areas described in this instrument to the comfort contexts proposed in Kolcaba's theory. Methodology: theoretical study, critical analysis, based on the principles of Kolcaba comfort theory. Reflection: the activities evaluated by the NAS are congruent with the contexts of comfort proposed in the Kolcaba theory, and can contribute to the promotion of comfort. It is noted, however, that there are fewer items to evaluate the sociocultural, psycho-spiritual and environmental contexts. Most activities value the organic and biological needs of patients. Considerations: Although the activities of the NAS are consistent with the comfort contexts proposed by Kolcaba, it cannot be said that the care provided will be fully compatible with the theoretical assumptions, requiring further studies for clinical validation.

Objective to describe the Environmental Theory of Florence Nightingale based on Meleis´ model for theory evaluation. Methodology: this is a reflective theoretical study conducted in 2015, using pertinent literature and the structural and functional components of the descriptive phase of Meleis´ model of theory evaluation to examine the theory. Results: the theory presents the concepts human being, environment, health and nursing, while focusing on environment control. Nursing action in the treatment of patients implemented in a healthy clean environment constituted the main theoretical proposition for nursing. Conclusions: the Environmental Theory is basic and current, not only because of its description of hygienic actions, micro-organisms, and unsanitary conditions that must be considered in caring for patients, but because of its applicability in nursing practice in relation to the person, environment and health. The theory contains concepts that are fundamental to Nursing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
