Objective: to identify the work of nursing professionals in the context of the MadeiraMamoré Railway (1907-1930). Method: historical research with a qualitative approach, comprising the construction, operation and deactivation of the Madeira-Mamoré Railway. Data collection took place from December 2020 to February 2021, with thehelp of a pre-prepared instrument in books, articles, manuals and other documents in the written press. The stages of survey, data organization, critical evaluation, presentation and interpretation of data were completed. Results: identified nine nurses working at Hospital da Candelária and other public health sectors in Rondônia. He noted the visibility of male nurses. There is also a record of the work of two North American nurses, and it is believed that they came to assist in providing assistance to railroad workers, before 1920. Conclusion: the gender issue may be related to greater political engagement or representation of strength and resistance in the face of precarious health conditions. The lack of availability of nurses or the need for other nursing practices may have contributed to the arrival of foreign nurses, drawing attention and giving visibility to the profession in the media.

Currently, climatic risks and scientific and technical progress demand relevant responses from the professions. In the case of nursing, training in the area of emergencies and disasters is an essential aspect that should be linked to the consolidation of the comprehensive training of nursing professionals. This fundamental area is sometimes not explicit in the curricula, which can restrict the performance of the professional role and hide the contribution of the profession in this field. Objective: To assess the coherence and relevance of Nursing training in the area of emergencies and disasters from an analysis of the micro curriculums of four Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Colombia and their relationship with guidelines in the training of nurses at the international and national level. Methodology: Mixed study (qualitative-quantitative) of hermeneutic and descriptive design where the characterization and analysis of micro curriculums in their textual content was carried out, supported by four study categories and training parameters by national and international academic competences. The units of analysis were four micro curriculums taken by convenience sampling. Results: Low research production, dilution of its training in the study plans, ignorance of international guidelines, non-existence of national guidelines and the worrying situation facing the development of health education in emergencies and disasters are evident. Conclusions: There are gaps in the consolidation of the positioning of health education in risk management in emergencies and disasters in Colombia due to the absence of clear basic competences standards.

Introduction: Delirium is an acute brain dysfunction, associated with increased mortality and morbidity, which often affects critically ill adult/elderly patients. Nurses have a crucial role in the prevention/control of delirium, through the implementation of non-pharmacological interventions. Objective: To know the nursing interventions in the identification, prevention and control of delirium in adult/critical elderly patients. Materials and Methods: An Integrative Literature Review of articles published between 2014 and 2018 was carried out, which identified nursing interventions aimed at the prevention and control of delirium in adult/critical elderly patients. Four searches were carried out, in the electronic databases of EBSCOhost and B-on. Results: 13 studies were identified, which present nursing interventions, mostly non-pharmacological, for the prevention and control of delirium in adult/critical elderly patients. Of these, interventions related to the environment, sleep promotion, early therapeutic intervention, cognitive assessment and patient orientation, interventions systematized in protocols, as well as interventions aimed at the participation of family members, the training of nurses and the teaching of patients are evident. Risk factors for the development of delirium and assessment tools were also identified. Discussion: The prevention of delirium is important and imperative, since its occurrence in critically ill patients is associated with increased mortality, morbidity, length of stay and a high hospital cost. The identification of risk factors for the occurrence of delirium should be included in delirium management protocols. Conclusions: Evidence has shown that nurses are essential in the early identification, prevention and control of delirium, preventing the progression of the disease, contributing to the reduction of morbidity and mortality. The nursing intervention must include the identification of predisposing and/or precipitating factors to contribute to the reduction of the occurrence and/or resolution of delirium.

Introducción: El delirio es una disfunción cerebral aguda, asociada con un aumento de la mortalidad y la morbilidad, que afecta con frecuencia a pacientes adultos/ancianos críticamente enfermos. Las enfermeras tienen un papel crucial en la prevención/control del delirio, a través de la implementación de intervenciones no farmacológicas. Objetivo: Conocer las intervenciones de enfermería en la identificación, prevención y control del delirio en pacientes adultos/ancianos críticos. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una Revisión Integrativa de la Literatura de artículos publicados entre 2014 y 2018, que identificaron intervenciones de enfermería dirigidas a la prevención y control del delirio en pacientes adultos/ancianos críticos. Se realizaron cuatro búsquedas, en las bases de datos electrónicas de EBSCOhost y B-on. Resultados: Se identificaron 13 estudios que presentan intervenciones de enfermería, en su mayoría no farmacológicas, para la prevención y control del delirio en pacientes adultos/ancianos críticos. De estas, se evidencian intervenciones relacionadas con el medio ambiente, la promoción del sueño, la intervención terapéutica temprana, la evaluación cognitiva y la orientación del paciente, intervenciones sistematizadas en protocolos, así como intervenciones dirigidas a la participación de los familiares, la formación de enfermeras y la enseñanza de los pacientes. También se identificaron factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de delirio y herramientas de evaluación. Discusión: La prevención del delirio es importante e imperativa, ya que su ocurrencia en pacientes críticos se asocia con aumento de la mortalidad, morbilidad, estancia hospitalaria y alto costo hospitalario. La identificación de factores de riesgo para la aparición de delirio debe incluirse en los protocolos de manejo del delirio. Conclusión: La evidencia ha demostrado que los enfermeros son esenciales en la identificación temprana, prevención y control del delirio, previniendo la progresión de la enfermedad, contribuyendo para la reducción de la morbimortalidad. La intervención de enfermería debe incluir la identificación de factores predisponentes y/o precipitantes para contribuir a la reducción de la ocurrencia y/o resolución del delirio.

Objective: to analyze the enablers and barriers to nurses' professional role fulfillment during pandemics and disasters. Materials and methods: this was an integrative review based on the SALSA analytical method, carried out in eight databases, namely: Medline, Proquest, CINAHL, Web of Science, BVS, SpringerLink, Scopus, and Pubmed. The descriptors used were the following: 'nurse's role' AND 'pandemic' AND 'patient' AND 'coronavirus infection', in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Filters along with inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to the 11,031 articles found, after which the final sample consisted of a total of 32 articles. Results: considering the objectives set and the results obtained, it is noted that all actions focused on three main instances, namely: a) training and updating for role performance; b) predictors, enablers, and barriers for exercising the role in the face of a pandemic; and c) evidence of the role in the face of pandemics. Conclusion: this study allowed understanding both the barriers and the enablers that allow the fulfillment of nurses' professional role in the face of pandemics or catastrophes. It also clarified that emerging infectious diseases must be addressed in an immediate, collaborative, and multidisciplinary way. Nurses' experience, leadership, and professional training are key attributes that these professionals possess to enable their role to be more proactive during an emergency situation.

Frente a la pandemia actual ocasionada por el coronavirus se crea una situación de crisis humanitaria, haciéndose imprescindible considerar los aspectos éticos en el otorgamiento de Cuidados Paliativos para brindar atención integral a la población al final de la vida. Entendiendo la Enfermería como un pilar en el equipo de trabajo de los Cuidados Paliativos, el presente ensayo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre la Ética en Enfermería en Cuidados Paliativos al final de la vida en tiempos de COVID-19. Los Cuidados Paliativos se desarrollan bajo los principios éticos, entendiendo que todas las personas deben tener acceso universal a salud, incluso cuando la enfermedad se encuentra en etapa avanzada; brindando calidad de vida y acompañamiento en una muerte digna. Sin embargo, frente al alto grado de contagio del coronavirus, personas mueren aisladas en servicios de cuidados intensivos sin el acompañamiento de la familia; siendo responsabilidad del equipo de salud otorgar compañía en la muerte. Ante esta realidad, son necesarias actividades de autocuidado para el equipo de salud y la familia, además, del aseguramiento de las condiciones de seguridad en el trabajo y el uso de equipo de protección. Es así como Enfermería tiene un rol ético fundamental en la crisis humanitaria actual, principalmente la entrega de Cuidados Paliativos al final de la vida en tiempos de COVID-19, acompañando en el final de la vida, evitando llegar al aislamiento e incluso la muerte en soledad.

Objective: To know the nursing cares drug consumption rooms (DCRs) and the proposals for a more effective intervention. Methodology: Ethnographic study through participant observation in five DCRs and semi-structured interviews with eight nurses. We also compiled nursing intervention protocols. Data content analysis was performed. Results: In the DCRs, hygienic and safe consumption under specialized supervision is possible. However, nurses identify difficulties for health promotion related to hygienic injection, prevention of overdose and transmission of bloodborne infections. Nurses highlight the limitations in the design of the DCRs, especially in relation to the time frame of coverage of these facilities. In addition, they acknowledge deficits in the monitoring of high-risk and homeless drug users. Conclusions: It is necessary to improve preventive messages and complement nursing care with hygienic injection workshops. It is recommended to expand the dimensions of the DCRs, establish more spaces for pulmonary use and to spread the time coverage of its offer. The creation of shelters to improve the quality of life of homeless drug users is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Se utilizó el cuestionario como “Instrumento para evaluar los factores que influyen en la adherencia a tratamientos farmacológicos y no farmacológicos en pacientes con factores de riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular versión 3”, elaborado por Bonilla y de Reales en el 2006. El cuestionario estuvo conformado por 53 ítems y 4 dimensiones: factores socioeconómicos, y los relacionados con el proveedor, la terapia y el paciente. El instrumento tiene un coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach de 0.82. Resultados: El 90 % de los pacientes presentaron un nivel de adherencia bueno; los factores que intervinieron a favor son aquellos relacionados con el sistema y el equipo de salud; la dimensión vinculada a factores socioeconómicos influyó negativamente en la adherencia al tratamiento. Conclusión: Existe una buena adherencia terapéutica en los pacientes encuestados; de igual manera se deduce que es necesario promover acciones interdisciplinarias en los programas de seguimiento a pacientes anticoagulados, enfocadas en los factores que influyen en la adherencia terapéutica

Introducción: El dolor es el síntoma principal en la mayoría de los pacientes que padecen de cáncer. La evidencia epidemiológica demuestra que en todo el mundo existen 37.1 millones de casos de cáncer al año, los cuales ocasionan 6.9 millones de muertes. Por desgracia, muchos de los pacientes que durante algún estadio de su enfermedad sufren dolor, reciben poca o ninguna atención. Informes de Twycross, tras estudio de 2,000 pacientes, sugieren que la mayoría de ellos, no reciben un alivio satisfactorio del dolor. Objetivo: Identificar en la literatura reportada en las bases de datos los factores que intervienen en el manejo del dolor del paciente oncológico y el rol de enfermería en este manejo. Metodología: Se hizo revisión sistematizada de la literatura entre los años 2001 y 2014 utilizando los descriptores MeSH: “pain management”, “oncology” and “nursing”, en las bases de datos Pubmed, Ebsco, ProQuest, Scielo, y Ovid. Resultados: la literatura reporta que son múltiples los factores que intervienen en el manejo del dolor por parte de los profesionales de enfermería tales como la poca credibilidad que el profesional de enfermería tiene, para aceptar como cierta la intensidad del dolor que el paciente refiere, así como la inadecuada evaluación de la intensidad del dolor, entre otros. Conclusiones: Se requiere que el profesional de enfermería posea conocimientos sobre el manejo del dolor oncológico, ya que es parte del equipo médico y es quien asiste permanentemente al paciente, lo que le permite determinar la eficacia del tratamiento y comentar la evolución para hacer los respectivos cambios.

Introduction: Professional nurse autonomy is considered a complex issue with little attention, especially in fields that demand highly complex actions such as the operating room. Objective: To analyze the social representations made by nurses about their professional autonomy in the operating room. Materials and Methods: An exploratory descriptive qualitative study was conducted based on the theoretical underpinning of the Theory of Social Representations. Nine nurses, who work in the operating room of a university hospital in the state of Rio de Janeiro, participated in the study. The data were collected between June and October 2017 through a semi-structured interview and subsequently subjected to thematic analysis. Results: Based on the data analysis made, the following categories were created: the professional autonomy of the operating room nurse: knowledge, freedom of action and decision-making power; the constraints to professional nurse autonomy in the operating room: hierarchical and power relationships and knowledge. Discussion: Professional nurse autonomy in the operating room is an object of representation with different cognitive and practical dimensions: the first one is mainly based on technical-scientific knowledge, while the second one is based on the freedom of action and the decision-making power required to exercise full autonomy. Conclusions: Professional nurse autonomy is an object of social representation conceived as a body that generates knowledge, know-how, reflection and professional identity that can arouse attitudes and practices.
