Objective: to describe the therapeutic itinerary of children/adolescents with cancer and their families. Method: qualitative descriptive study carried out with 11 mothers and one grandmother of children/adolescents undergoing cancer treatment, guided by the theoretical framework of the Health Care Systems Model. Data were collected from March to September 2019, through semi-structured and audio-recorded interviews, submitted to Morse and Field content analysis. Results: for the family, the path taken throughout the process of searching for diagnosis and cure was characterized by suffering and ambiguous feelings. Throughout the therapeutic itinerary, each family established their way of acting, perceiving, communicating, relating and making decisions. Final considerations: knowing the therapeutic itinerary of families of children/adolescents with cancer can guide assertive nursing interventions and support the development of strategies that improve the early diagnosis of the disease, favoring a better prognosis.

Objective: to understand the perspective of nurses on the transitional care of the person with chronic noncommunicable disease from hospital to home. Method: qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study. The study scenario was a University Hospital in southern Brazil. Data collection occurred through semi-structured interviews with 28 nurses and managers, between July 2018 to May 2019, in which the analyses were made by the themes. Results: The nurses point out some strategies of transition of the care, as the inclusion of the caregiver in the orientations and the telephone contact. They also indicate the need for recognition of the health network by professionals and the challenge of articulation between different services. Final considerations: the transitional care goes beyond the reductionist logic of simple individualized orientation to hospital discharge. The nurse can lead the change and promote the consolidation of safe and qualified practices, due to its insertion in the various scenarios of health care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to identify the patient safety strategies adopted by the multidisciplinary team in high-risk pregnancy. Method: descriptive, qualitative study conducted with the multidisciplinary team responsible for specialized care for high-risk pregnancy in a city in southern Brazil. The interviews took place in March 2020 and the results were grouped into thematic categories. Results: two themes were highlighted: safety in embracement and flow of care to high-risk pregnant women, represented by the role of primary and secondary care in assistance to pregnant women, early identification of risk factors and/or aggravations to pregnancy and guidelines for the safety of high-risk pregnant women, identifying the need for individualized multiprofessional care to the needs of pregnant women. Conclusion: strategies for the safety of high-risk pregnant women go beyond safety protocols and denote the need to adapt to the context of secondary care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
