Objective: to understand the care for the frail elderly provided by family-related inpatient caregivers, as well as their interaction with the Family Health Strategy, from the perspective of caregivers. Method: exploratory-descriptive, qualitative study conducted with 17 informal family-related caregivers of frail elderly from a Family Health Strategy in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data collected between September/2019 and February/2020, through an interview with semi-structured script and questionnaire. Content analysis was performed, thematic type. Results: most caregivers were women, 26-79 years old, white and brown, married and low schooling. Effective communication between the health team and the family/elderly caregiver, to the detriment of high turnover of professionals of the Family Health Strategy, excessive demand for functions and lack of training and technical ability of the caregiver. Final thoughts: care for the frail elderly belonged to the female universe and aroused a mixture of feelings. Interaction between caregivers and family health strategy was generally mediated by the Community Health Agent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To identify the perception of the nursing team about the motivational factors in the work environment. Methods: An exploratory study with a qualitative approach, carried out from January to February, 2015, in the pediatrics sector of a reference hospital of medium complexity, with 12 nursing technicians and nine nurses. The data collection was based on interviews guided by a semi-structured instrument and the data collected were analyzed according to Bardin. Results: The main factors that could contribute to the motivation of the nursing team were: sufficient supply of materials; motivational meetings; standardization of conduits and elaboration of assistance protocols; training courses and training; increased communication and feedback among the team of activities performed. The factors that discouraged them were: lack of recognition of the profession, lack of material, poor remuneration, excessive workload, high number of patients and nonconstructive criticism. Conclusions: The results identified could contribute with nursing managers to the planning of strategies that aim to increase the motivation in the professionals of the team. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Theoretical framework: Over the years there have been substantial changes in the amount of documentation in nursing as a result of information technologies that are part of the daily work of health professionals. Physicians are the greatest consumers of the information collected, processed and documented by nurses, given the relevance of this information in the process of clinical decision-making. Objectives: To identify and describe the information collected, processed and documented by nurses that appears most relevant to the medical profession. Methodology: Qualitative and exploratory study using participant observation (98 hours) and interviews (3) with key informants, conducted in the hospital. Inductive content analysis of field notes and interviews. Results: The most relevant information for doctors depends on the context of the subject, action and professions and can be aggregated into three categories: «monitoring parameters»; «medications and therapeutic attitudes»; and «recurrent data». Conclusion: Strategies for data collection are capable of generating valid data for the identification of categories of information most relevant to physicians («monitoring parameters», «medications and therapeutic attitudes» and «recurrent data»). The information relevant for physicians is not influenced by the person who decides that the data are collected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
