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]

Introduction: The intensive care unit (ICU) stay generates feelings of lack of control, uncertainty, and anxiety in the patient and their families related to a lack of information and communication about the health-disease process experienced and the treatment. Objective: to describe the characteristics of communication in the ethnos between the nurse and the family member of the hospitalized patient. Method: a qualitative study with a micro ethnographic approach that used Bardin's proposal for the analysis. The participants were 12 relatives of patients hospitalized in the adult ICU in Bucaramanga and Floridablanca (Colombia) during 2016. A semi-structured interview was conducted with five questions about communication with the nurse practitioner. Results: most of the participants were women, university students, and daughters from cities other than the place of the interview. The main theme that emerges was communication: an honest, direct, and authentic relationship between human beings, made up of four categories: information as the central axis of communication in ICU; communication that is not expressed in words, which is even more important in the relationship; communication does not flow if there is no time, disposition, and conditions to establish the relationship; and communication generates positive feelings and satisfaction. Conclusion: communication as a social process framed in the ICU as a particular ethnos demand from the nurse practitioners’ qualities such as kindness, cordiality, empathy, recognition, and understandable language, as well as feedback and willingness to establish and maintain this vital process for human relationships.

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]

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.
