Objective: to describe the actions performed by nurses from the mobile pre-hospital service before, during, and after consultations and transfers of suspected and/or confirmed patients of Covid-19, and the limitations found by these professionals on reducing exposure to the disease. Method: a descriptive-reflective study about the actions performed by nurses from the mobile pre-hospital service in a capital city in southern Brazil to increase safety during consultations or transfers of suspected and/or confirmed patients of Covid-19. Results: the study allowed us to reflect on the multidimensionality of actions necessary for the prevention and control of the pandemic. Attitudes were identified to ensure instrumental safety in mobile units, professional safety, and patient safety in mobile pre-hospital care. Conclusion: regarding the nurses, concern with the safety of the professionals and patients was identified, since they adopted conducts for the prevention and control of the pandemic through the use of equipment, materials, and preparation of the ambulance. Subjective aspects of the professionals involved must be considered, such as technical and psychological preparation, which is a fundamental aspect both for serving the population and for the safety of the patient and the professional in terms of exposure to the virus.

Objectives: to validate the content and appearance of an educational game about first aid for schoolchildren with experts in education and health. Methods: this is a methodological, quantitative and descriptive research, carried out using the Delphi technique, using an online collection instrument, covering 55 items of the game. Content and appearance assessment was performed by 26 judges. The data were analyzed using Content Validity index. Results: the final prototype is presented in a board format, composed of four buildable pawns and 117 cards between questions, alerts and challenges. Overall Content Validity index of 0.95 and greater than 0.8 was obtained for all items in two Delphi rounds. Conclusions: the educational game validated by experts is a pedagogical tool for teaching first aid to schoolchildren as an option to traditional educational practices.

Objective: to assess the impact of high-fidelity clinical simulation on undergraduate teaching, specifically in the Pediatric Nursing area. Method: a quasi-experimental study of the pre- and post-test type, developed at three public Higher Educations Institutions (HEIs) in Brazil. The participants were 93 undergraduate Nursing students, enrolled in the Pediatric Nursing academic disciplines, and randomly allocated to the control or experimental groups. The data were collected in the first half of 2017, through a structured knowledge test and the Satisfaction with Simulated Clinical Experiences Scale. The experimental group received the usual intervention (participation in the theoretical and theoretical-practical activities offered in the disciplines) and the study intervention (high-fidelity clinical simulation); the control group only received the usual intervention. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive and analytical statistics. An explanatory model was prepared by means of multiple linear regression to assess the impact of simulation on teaching. Results: the mean difference between the knowledge pre- and post-tests was 4.04 points (p=0.0004) higher among the experimental group participants, indicating a greater increase in knowledge with the simulation. The participants from University A, who performed the simulation after the theoretical activities and before the theoretical-practical activities, obtained a higher mean difference between the knowledge pre- and post-tests (by 3.89 points, p=0.0075) than that of obtained by the participants from the other institutions. In relation to the satisfaction scale, high scores were achieved (mean=9.11±0.67). Conclusion: high-fidelity clinical simulation in Pediatrics contributed to increasing the Nursing students’ knowledge and satisfaction levels.

Objetivou-se conhecer a perspectiva da equipe multiprofissional sobre a passagem de plantão no serviço de emergência de um hospital universitário. Estudo exploratório e descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa. Foram entrevistados 15 integrantes da equipe multiprofissional. Por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo, identificaram-se duas categorias: importância da participação ativa da equipe multiprofissional para o momento da passagem de plantão; e ausência de padronização das informações na passagem de plantão para a segurança do paciente na continuidade do cuidado. Os resultados apontam pouca contribuição da equipe multiprofissional na passagem de plantão, podendo estar relacionada com a cultura organizacional. A confiança interprofissional, a promoção de espaço que favoreça a contribuição da equipe multiprofissional com falas e momentos para tirar dúvidas e a assiduidade da equipe são aspectos abordados como facilitadores para uma passagem de plantão efetivamente multiprofissional.

Objective: To analyze the implementation of a nursing care protocol for trauma patients before, during and after the flight. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative study carried out in an aeromedical service, using a checklist with 106 care: 79 before flight, 25 during, and 2 after flight. 97 patients were included in the study. Results: Most care (n = 59; 55.7%) was implemented, totaling 4,435, 1,480 and 192 cares performed before, during and after the flight, respectively. They stood out as unrealized care: protect ears with ear muffler (n = 55) and avoid leaving the pulse oximeter exposed to the sun’s rays (n = 22). The main reason for the non-performance was lack of appeal (n = 94). Conclusion: Although most protocol care has been implemented, unrealized care compromises the quality of care, which requires the management of the service to provide more incentive to nurses and adequate resources for its implementation.

Este artigo retrata a história recente da transformação do conceito da impotência, como desordem psicossexual, em disfunção erétil, considerada como uma doença de etiologia principalmente orgânica. Demonstra sucessivamente como a impotência masculina constituiu uma abrangência global de todo o ciclo da resposta sexual, e ainda, uma violação da identidade e da autoimagem; como o relacionamento entre casais se transformou progressivamente em dificuldade e como a falta de um órgão claramente circunscrito pode ser o objeto de um "simples" tratamento medicamentoso. Este processo foi analisado a partir de modelo sequencial da medicalização (Conrad), que permite compreender a intervenção dos diferentes atores envolvidos (cientistas, médicos, industriais, políticos, empresários). Compreende-se, assim, como as descobertas científicas são selecionadas e desenvolvidas de acordo com seu potencial industrial e são aplicadas às pesquisas clínicas; como entidades clínicas são reconceitualizadas e medidas através de investigações epidemiológicas na população em geral e como são criados os ensaios clínicos que levam à criação de um medicamento. Em seguida, observam-se como os atores da saúde pública e os políticos intervêm para dar legitimidade ao novo problema criado. Por fim, avalia-se a possibilidade da desmedicalização de problemas com o uso não-médico do medicamento, no contexto do desenvolvimento da autoprescrição na Internet.
