Objective: To identify how care is provided to people living with ostomy in the health care network from the perspective of nurses. Methods: Qualitative, descriptive study, developed with 29 nurses who worked in the Health Care Network who provide care to patients with ostomy. The methodological theoretical framework used was Minayo's social research, which is based on historical and dialectical materialism.Data collection carried out in March and April 2018, through a semi-structured interview. Thematic analysis of the data was carried out. Results: Weaknesses were identified in communication in the health care network, as well as in the care actions carried out by nurses to people living with stomas, demonstrating a centralized care and failure in care due to the lack of continuing education. Conclusion: The care of ostomy patients has points to be improved, such as defining an itinerary for this patient, centralization of care, ensuring continuity of care and completeness, referral and counter-referral, need for effective communication between the health teams that care for these patients as well as lack of continuing education.

Objective: To describe the development of the nursing process in the psychic and emotional dimensions of patients in a general hospital. Methods: Exploratory and qualitative research with the participation of nine nurses from a hospital in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, in 2018. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and submitted to Content Analysis. The phases of the Nursing Process described in Resolution 358/2009 of the Federal Nursing Council were used as an analytical matrix. Results: The participants described the observation, perception, active search in medical records, communication as strategies for collecting nursing data; demonstrated difficulties in using nursing diagnoses, planning and implementing specific care in the psychosocial dimension. Collaborative care with the multiprofessional team was emphasized. They stated that some nursing evaluations were impaired due to the reduced time spent by patients in the services. Conclusion: The development of the nursing process with a focus on the psychological and emotional dimensions in a general hospital is a challenge for nursing. Health institutions should invest in permanent education to train the nursing staff for quality care. [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]

Objective: to understand the nurse's view on the use of the Manchester protocol and on the user population in the risk assessment of an Emergency Care Unit (ECU). Method: qualitative case study based on Comprehensive Sociology of Daily Life; open interviews were carried out with 12 nurses who perform the risk assessment. Results: there was a reversal of flow of users between the basic network and urgency/emergency services resulting in overcrowding in the ECU and work overload due to lack of information and effective communication in the Health System (publicprivate) to make users aware of the real function of the urgency/emergency service. We also identified flaws in the management of the ECU. Conclusion: despite the challenges to perform risk assessment as a welcoming and equanimous strategy to meet the demand, the nurses believed that the Manchester protocol has brought safety to the practice and quality to the care provided.

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]
