ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess urinary impairment in incontinent women with the aid of standardized nursing terminologies NANDA-I and NOC. Methods: a cross-sectional study, carried out with 97 women attending the gynecology outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Data collection took place using a form that contained information about NANDA-I diagnoses related to urinary incontinence and NOC Urinary Continence indicators. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the impairment of NOC indicators in the presence of NANDA-I nursing diagnoses. Results: diagnosis Mixed Urinary Incontinence was the most prevalent (43.3%), and, in its presence, the most compromised indicators were voids in appropriate receptacle, gets to toilet between urge and passage of urine and empties bladder completely. Conclusions: urinary impairment was worse in women with elements of stress and urge urinary incontinence.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the operationalization of Primary Health Care in the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Primary Care Assessment Tool: PCATool-Brasil attributes, from physicians’ and nurses’ perspective. Methods: a cross-sectional study, carried out with 99 physicians and nurses from Basic Health Units in a state in northeastern Brazil, with the aid of the adapted instrument PCATool-Brasil. Results: Essential Score was classified as high performance (6.6) and General Score as low performance (6.5). First Contact Access, Care Integration, and Community Guidance scores were 6.6). Conclusions: the attributes of Primary Health Care, in general, showed values above or close to the cut-off point in the assessment. These data can support strategies for local and national managers to strengthen Primary Health Care in the COVID-19 pandemic and future public health emergencies.

Objetivo: determinar a frequência dos componentes do diagnóstico de enfermagem Risco de lesão por pressão e sua relação com a escala de Braden. Método: estudo transversal desenvolvido entre 2020 e 2021 com 105 pacientes de uma unidade de terapia intensiva que estavam em risco de desenvolver lesão por pressão. Foi realizada análise descritiva e analítica. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: o fator de risco, população em risco e condições associadas mais frequentes foram redução da mobilidade (99,0%), extremo de idade (39,0%) e anemia (46,7%) respectivamente. Pacientes que apresentaram forças de cisalhamento, história de acidente vascular encefálico, imobilização física, alteração na função cognitiva e alteração na sensibilidade apresentaram menores pontuações na escala de Braden. Conclusão: a utilização de escalas validadas e diagnósticos de enfermagem ampliam o julgamento crítico do enfermeiro sobre os motivos que elevam o risco de desenvolvimento de lesão por pressão. ABSTRACT Objective: to determine the frequency of the components of the nursing diagnosis of risk of pressure injury and their relation with the Braden scale. Method: in 2020 and 2021 this cross-sectional study performed a descriptive and analytical investigation of 105 patients in an intensive care unit who were at risk of developing pressure injury. The study was approved by the research ethics committee. Results: the risk factor, population at risk and associated condition with the highest frequencies were, respectively, reduced mobility (99.0%), extremes of age (39.0%) and anemia (46.7%). Patients who presented shear forces, history of stroke, physical immobility, impaired cognitive function, and sensory impairment scored lower on the Braden scale. Conclusion: use of a validated measurement scale and nursing diagnoses expands critical thinking in nursing about the reasons that heighten the risk of developing pressure injuries. RESUMEN Objetivo: determinar la frecuencia de los componentes del diagnóstico de enfermería, Riesgo de lesión por presión y su relación con la Escala Braden. Método: estudio transversal llevado a cabo entre 2020 y 2021 junto a 105 pacientes de una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos que estaban en riesgo de desarrollar lesión por presión. Se realizaron análisis descriptivo y analítico. El Comité de Ética en Investigación aprobó la investigación. Resultados: el factor de riesgo, población en riesgo y condiciones asociadas más frecuentes fueron reducción de la movilidad (99,0%), extremo de edad (39,0%) y anemia (46,7%). Pacientes que presentaron Fuerzas de cillazamiento, Historia de accidente vascular encefálico, Inmovilización física, alteración en la función cognitiva y alteración en la sensibilidad presentaron puntajes más bajos en la Escala de Braden. Conclusión: el uso de escalas validadas y diagnósticos de enfermería amplía el juicio crítico del enfermero en cuanto a los motivos que aumentan el riesgo de desarrollo de lesión por presión.
