ABSTRACT Objectives: to highlight the main attributes of Convergent Care Research that ratify it as a method of scientific research. Methods: it is a theoretical-reflective study on Convergent Care Research's theoretical-methodological assumptions. Development: Convergent Care Research is compatible with the Social Constructionism paradigm. Convergent Care Research projects have two approaches: practical and conceptual. The Convergent Care Research process corpus contains five phases: conception; instrumentation; scrutiny; analysis and theorizing. Final Considerations: Convergent Care Research rigor encompasses the relationship between research and care practice, and this corresponds to the convergence of these two dimensions. Due to its theoretical foundation and criteria of methodological rigor, Convergent Care Research is aligned with scientific research methods.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to discuss specific laws and public policies for workplace violence in the health sector, highlighting possibilities for the collective confrontation of this phenomenon in Brazil. Methods: this is a reflective and argumentative study that refers to some previous experiences regarding the implementation of legal aspects to curb workplace violence directed at health professionals. Results: there are experiences regarding the existence of legislation or public policies to specifically contain workplace violence in the health sector, but these are still restricted to some places or countries. The literature provides resources for developing specific strategies for managing this phenomenon, highlighting prevention programs and conducts for case management. Final Considerations: implementation of legal aspects or public policies at the municipal, regional, state and/or national level is a strategy with potential to confront workplace violence in health services in a collective and sustainable way.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to share the contributions of culture circles for teaching, research, and professional nursing practice, having as framework Paulo Freire’s Research Itinerary. Methods: this is an experience report of a culture circle, with participation of three professors and ten students, enrolled in a course of a Graduate Program in Nursing in southern Brazil. In this culture circle, a tree was built in which the roots formed the thematic investigation, the stem, coding and decoding, and the leaves, the Research Itinerary critical unveiling. Results: participants demonstrated empowerment of Paulo Freire’s assumptions, and building a tree made it possible to discuss in a pleasant and playful way culture circle use in teaching, research, and professional nursing practice. Final Considerations: the culture circle promoted reflection and action on nursing praxis, turning Freirean thoughts into something concrete and transforming realities.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to describe the main aspects and relevant results of the implementation of the Nursing Services Management Model in hospitals managed by social health organization, from 1998 to 2018. Methods: experience report of the model implemented in 16 hospitals in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Results: the actions and monitoring of the implementation were based on protocols considering: management model and structure of the nursing service in hospitals; care process and main nursing care results; and people development. Final Considerations: the implementation of methods that ensure the well-being of nursing professionals is directly related to effective care, in which the practice is driven by quality and autonomy. Promoting a culture of care excellence, at different levels of management and care, has generated better expectations and motivation.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze factors associated with the implementation of software systems of the e-SUS Primary Care strategy in municipalities of Minas Gerais. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with municipal managers of the e-SUS Primary Care strategy. A sample of cities stratified according to population size was selected. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyzes were performed to identify factors associated with the implementation of the systems. Results: In 49.1% (95%CI: 39.5-58.8) of the municipalities investigated, some of the e-SUS Primary Care systems were implemented. Time working as a strategy manager (OR: 3.03) and training for Primary Care professionals in the municipality (OR: 2.28) were associated with the implementation of the systems. Conclusion: The presence of a trained manager leading the implementation process impacted the implementation of the e-SUS AB strategy software systems in the municipalities of Minas Gerais. It is also essential to highlight the need to improve the technological infrastructure for the computerization of Primary Care.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the practices of a home care team and their implications for caregivers’ performance. Methods: qualitative study with data obtained from observation of 21 users, 30 caregivers and 6 professionals from the home health care service in a municipality in Minas Gerais, from February to June 2018. The material was analyzed from the perspective of discourse analysis according to Michel Foucault. Results: team interference upon caregivers is exercised by disciplinary practices and prescriptive, authoritative and surveilling behaviors. The team’s knowledge-power relationship determines caregivers’ acceptance through convincing or through difficulty of understanding assigned orientations. Educational practices would enable caregivers to be constituted as active, participative, empowered and reflective subjects. Final Considerations: team practices interfere with caregivers’ ways of acting and being and they have implications in objectification and subjectification processes.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the facilities and difficulties in the use by nurses of the care flow for patients with chest pain. Methods: descriptive analytical study, with a qualitative approach, conducted with 17 nurses from an emergency care unit in a municipality of the State of Ceara, in 2018. Data collected through documents and interviews, analyzed in a descriptive manner, in absolute and relative frequencies and through content analysis thematic. Results: the use of assistance flow streamlines the process of transferring to referral units, reducing serious and lethal complications in the patient. It considers teamwork and communication as facilitating points in the care of patients with chest pain. The lack of permanent education, physical structure, equipment, transport delay and patient regulation as factors that hamper. Final considerations: investments in physical structure and equipment, in the reorganization of the care network and in permanent education to enable benefits to the service of excellence in health care.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to investigate the association between workaholism and quality of life in stricto sensu graduate professors in Nursing. Methods: a cross-sectional study developed with a total of 333 professors working in the Graduate Programs of Brazilian public universities. Data collection took place in the second semester of 2018, using an electronic form containing a characterization questionnaire, the Dutch Work Addiction Scale and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument-BREF. The data were analyzed by univariate and multiple logistic regression. Results: it was observed that 82.3% of the professors reported low general quality of life and 19.5%, high level of excessive work and 20.1% of compulsive work. Professors who worked compulsively and excessively were less likely to have a high quality of life in the overall, physical, psychological, social relations and environment domains (p<0.05). Conclusions: the high work demands that are characteristic of the stricto sensu professors’ work process are directly associated with low quality of life.

Final considerations: Given the identification of the critical nodes, the professionals presented suggestions to overcome daily difficulties: investments in strategies for Permanent Education in Health; creation of tools to guide patient assistance in the postoperative of cardiac surgery; and provision of adequate human resources.

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the implementation of actions for early detection of breast cancer in Primary Care and to verify the adequacy of these actions with the Ministry of Health recommendations. Method: a cross-sectional study conducted from September 2017 to March 2018 with 736 women registered in Basic Health Units in two municipalities in Acre. For data collection, a validated questionnaire was used. In statistical analysis, the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test was applied. Results: the frequency of mammography was 42%. Of the women at standard risk for breast cancer, only 5,8% underwent mammography properly. Conclusion: there was a low compliance of early detection actions to the Ministry of Health recommendations; thus, the need to adopt measures to increase professionals’ adherence to government proposals is highlighted, as well as continuous actions assessments.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the reliability and validity of the 46 items version of the comfort scale for family members of people in critical condition. Methods: a methodological study, carried out with 278 family members of critically ill patients, admitted to adult and pediatric intensive care units, in a city in the interior of the state of São Paulo, in Brazil. The analyzes were based on the Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory. Results: Horn’s parallel analysis and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis did not identify the scale’s unidimensionality nor the tridimensionality. The maximum factor loads were positive. The scale proved to be reliable (α=0.93 and Ω=0.63), most item-total correlations were greater than 0.28 and the discrimination coefficients were greater than one. Conclusions: the scale showed satisfactory reliability and relative construct validity. However, the recommended tridimensional structure for the scale has not been confirmed.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to construct and assess bundle content for the prevention and management of complications in neutropenia in cancer patients. Methods: a methodological study developed in four stages: scoping review; bundle construction; material assessment by experts (developed according to Pasquali’s psychometry); pilot test in a High Complexity Assistance Unit in Oncology. For content assessment, the Delphi technique was applied in two rounds and those items with Content Validation Coefficient (CVC)> 0.78 and agreement> 80.0% were considered valid. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: all bundle requirements reached agreement between judges above 80.0%, in addition to statistically significant levels of assessment. At the end of the Delphi technique, bundle was significantly valid with CVC = 0.92 and CVC = 0.93, respectively. Conclusions: bundle content proved to be valid and highly credible.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the nurse’s educational practice in Family Health Strategy. Methods: descriptive study with a qualitative approach, whose data production used the World Café group technique, in two meetings, with 26 nurses of a health district of Manaus-AM. The technique used was Categorial-Thematic Content Analysis. Results: the study generated two units of analysis: Political and Organizational Configuration of Educational Work at ESF and Operational Configuration of Educational Work at ESF, revealing the necessary (re)configurations in co-management, in the centrality of the subject for the planning of educational work, and in (re)pactuation between the management of services and training institutions to overcome contradictions in the implementation of National Policies on Permanent Education and Basic Health Care. Conclusions: the configuration of nurses’ educational practice at ESF works toward interactions, organized to respond to health policies, incorporating creativity in doing, but facing numerous obstacles.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the potential and the limits of the actions of the nursing team in the Primary Health Care for the Health of the Indigenous. Methods: This is a quantitative study guided by the Theory of Practical Intervention of Nursing and Collective Health. 230 nursing professionals participated, responding to an instrument about the frequency of the actions carried out in assistance, management, teaching, and research. Results: 168 nursing technicians and 62 nurses participated. As strengths, 80% participated in the assistance most of the time. Stand out: 90.3% and 71% of nurses carried out nursing consultations and house visits, respectively. As a limitation, the involvement in education and research is small. Only 2% of the interviewees carried out scientific researches, reflecting the need to broaden and qualify care and improve the use of traditional practices, overcoming the biomedical model. Final considerations: Nursing assistance is essential in the modification and monitoring of the epidemiological profile of indigenous populations, and its results allow for the planning of quality actions.
