Objective: To develop and validate an educational folder for use in people with Heart Failure. Methods: Study with a methodological approach for the elaboration of an educational folder and validation by experts. Technical specialists were nurses, cardiology specialists, who validated content and appearance; Specialist designers validated appearance, aesthetics and visual communication.

Results: High agreement among nurses (ARI = 1), almost perfect internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.84), total and isolated CVI above 0.8. The booklet was considered valid. For graphic designers, the overall IVC achieved a value that guaranteed appearance validity. Conclusion: The educational booklet was validated by the judges and is presented as an instrument to assist in the preparation for discharge and long-term follow-up of patients with HF.

In this reflection we will bring to light the thought of the theoretician Jean Watson, seeking as main objective, to propose a theoretical reflection on empathy in nursing care and the Transpersonal Theory of Human Care by Jean Watson. This is a reflection study which is based on Jean Watson's Transpersonal Theory and how it directly impacts on the nurse's assistance practice. The ten Caritas Processes are presented, and each element of care proposed in theory, argues the value of empathy in daily nursing practice, it becomes relevant to rescue the valorization of theories in the training of health professionals, even after the completion of graduation. It can be seen that this reflection contributes to the debate on essential topics in the training and practice of nurses, such as nursing theories, empathy and the patient as the center of care.

Objective: To validate the "PuerpérioSEGURO" application as a technology for postpartum bedside care. Methods: This is a methodological study of technological innovation and applied validation, based on the principles of Software Engineering, whose data collection was carried out in May 2020. A sample of 16 specialists was adopted, forming two commissions of judges, eight with expertise in the field of midwifery nursing to validate the interfaces, and eight with expertise in the computer area to validate the system. The data were submitted to descriptive statistics and expressed through the Content Validity Index (CVI), considering items ≥ 0.8 of agreement to be adequate. Results: In the case of the set of interfaces, four parameters subdivided into 10 sub-items were evaluated by the nursing judges, obtaining a general agreement of 1.0. The computer judges evaluated the system set in six parameters subdivided into 16 sub-items, reaching a general agreement of 0.92. Conclusion: The mobile application achieved excellent validity of interfaces and systems among the judges, requiring further studies of practical interaction with an institutional web service.

The aim of this study was to map the predictive clinical factors of Oxaliplatin-induced Peripheral Sensory Neuropathy. For that, a systematic review was carried out, based on the recommendations of the PRISMA guideline. The PICO strategy was also used to formulate the research question and guide the search in the databases: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, BVS/IBECS and CINAHL. 26 publications were selected for final analysis and inclusion in the review. The publications were classified according to the level of evidence and degree of recommendation, according to the JBI system. In the analysis of the publications, 15 predictive factors were mapped, with greater emphasis on the cumulative dose of Oxaliplatin used. The recognition of clinical predictive factors for Peripheral Sensory Neuropathy, regardless of the precocity that can be done, are important for the development of measurable strategies in the exercise of collaborative and multidimensional care.

The term care derives from the Latin "cogitatu", referring to something thought and imagined, to dedication and zeal. Health care permeates the theoretical and practical model, considering the individual as a whole and not only the health-disease process, and has been identified as an object of nursing. In this context, the importance of ethics for health self-care is discussed, moving away from the hegemony of the normative referents that dictate how relationships should be in the field of health, taking as a theoretical reference the analysis of ethics, knowledge and power realized by the philosopher Michel Foucault. In this sense, it is essential that there is clear and effective communication between these actors, so that the care is carried out effectively. Therefore, it is increasingly important to discuss these processes of nursing care practice, ethics, humanization and communication, so that more knowledge can be acquired on the subject and thus understand its importance.

Describe a new way of bathing in bed in intensive care patients and analyze the cost of this technology. Descriptive, prospective, cost assessment study. Convenience sample of 18 patients in the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery, with data collection within 72 h after surgery. In this technique, a vial of distilled water heated in a microwave oven is used. The bottle is pierced with a hypodermic needle and used to spray the patient before and after being soaped, simulating a portable shower. The average bath time was 30.17 ± 12.24 minutes and the identified cost was R $ 25.19 (US $ 4.99).
