Introduction The concept of female empowerment is often used in nursing by midwifes, since it has become a key topic and discussion for said profession. Accordingly, it is used in perinatal health hand in hand with ideas such as humanized childbirth and the prevention of violence. Objectives The aim of this study is to analyze the scientific production on female empowerment and perinatal health. Methodology A bibliometric study of the scientific production published in the journals Birth, Women and Birth and Midwifery was carried out. The analysis was realized through the classification and categorization of the data. Moreover, the categories were specified, encoded and conceptually defined. Results and Discussion 341 articles were identified, and 44 were selected because of their relevance. However, only 13 matched the inclusion criteria. Given that selected articles have different aims and analyze the notion of empowerment differently, it was only possible to discuss the topic through their classification and categorization. Accordingly, the most relevant aspects concerning the sense of female empowerment arising out of the interaction between patients and midwifes are: feeling that health professionals listen to what you have to say; accepting pain; the physical and psychological support of close people or professionals; personalized care; health professionals’ empathy and closeness; privacy; and the role communication as key element for empowerment. Conclusions Female empowerment in the perinatal period is an understudied discussed topic in the journals analyzed in this article. That is the reason why there is not a univocal definition of the term. It could be argued that female empowerment is much dependent on aspects such as confidence between patients and midwife, the feeling of being listened by health professionals; the acceptance of pain; the physical and psychological support of close people or professionals; personalized care; health professionals’ empathy and closeness; privacy; and a fluid communication.

Background: Health professionals must be knowledgeable and skilled in providing palliative care. This short report reviews the literature that has assessed student nurses' knowledge of palliative care. Method: The following databases were searched: CINHAL, ScienceDirect, Medline, PubMed and Google Scholar for manuscripts published from 2014 to 2020. Only six articles met the inclusion criteria and were thoroughly reviewed. Findings: Students were found to have a poor knowledge of palliative care, especially the management of a patient's symptoms and the definition of palliative care. Conclusion: Integrating palliative care education within nursing curricula is a priority, although the best method to accomplish this is yet to be established.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the scientific production on the decision making of health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Integrative review in the databases CINAHL, MEDLINE, Scopus, ScienceDirect, WoS, and BVS. Inclusion criteria: original articles available in full, in any language, related to the object investigated. Results: During this pandemic, health workers have been making decisions based on ethical/bioethical principles (utility, beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, justice, proportionality, flexibility, clinical prognosis, duration of the need, and fair health attention), values (solidarity, equality, equity, utilitarianism, relational autonomy, reliability, reciprocity, maximization of the benefits and resources, and prioritization of those in worse conditions), beliefs and personal motivation, protocols, directives, tools, algorithms, recommendations, and criteria. Final considerations: Decision making has never been so necessary as in this pandemic. This article is not a recipe for the professionals, since decision making is based on numerous factors. However, it provides them with a foundation that can be helpful in this difficult process.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze evidences of psychological aspects of patients with intestinal stoma. Method: integrative review with search of primary studies in the PsycINFO, PubMed, CINAHL and WOS databases and in the SciELO periodicals portal. Inclusion criteria were: primary studies published in a ten-year period, in Portuguese, Spanish or English, available in full length and addressing the theme of the review. Results: after analytical reading, 27 primary studies were selected and results pointed out the need to approach patients before surgery to prevent the complications, anxieties and fears generated by the stoma. The national and international scientific production on the experience of stomized patients in the perioperative moments is scarce. Conclusion: it is recomendable that health professionals invest in research on interventions aimed at the main psychological demands of stomized patients in the perioperative period, respecting their autonomy on the decisions to be made regarding their health/illness state and treatments.

BACKGROUND Health professionals (HPs) play a key role in dementia management and detection. However, there is a gap in the literature as to what represents best practice with regard to educating HPs to improve their dementia detection practices and management. OBJECTIVE The objective of this scoping review is to synthesize the aggregated studies aimed at improving health care knowledge, detection practices and management of dementia among HPs. METHODS We searched electronically published relevant articles with inclusion criteria; (1) intervention studies aimed at improving HPs practices concerning dementia care and (2) educational interventions focused on nurses and doctors’ knowledge, detection practice and management of dementia. Twenty-five articles fit the inclusion criteria. RESULTS Collaborative programs of practice based workshops, interactive learning activities with community and multi-faced educational program were the most effective. CONCLUSIONS HPs should be supported to improve their knowledge, tackle behavioural problems associated with dementia, be made aware of services and be enabled to engage in more early diagnosis.

Abstract Background Clostridioides difficile can cause a severe infectious colitis and is often associated with significant morbidity and mortality. C. difficile infection (CDI) is defined as the presence of diarrhea plus a positive stool test, whereas C. difficile colonization is defined as a positive stool test in the absence of diarrhea or the presence of diarrhea attributable to causes other than CDI. Widespread use of stool polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, especially within the first 3 days of admission, has become common at our institution and has been associated with increased number of positive C. difficile tests results. However, C. difficile colonization rates may be 15% or higher. Oral (PO) vancomycin (vanc) is first line therapy for the treatment of CDI. We sought to evaluate the appropriateness of use of PO vanc in patients who tested positive for C. difficile via stool PCR within 3 days of admission. Methods We reviewed the clinical history, presence of diarrhea, risk factors for diarrhea, treatment and use of an infectious disease (ID) consultation for all patients 18 years of age or older found to test positive for C. difficile by PCR on stool assays during the first 3 days of admission from 07/01/18 to 12/31/18. Results A total of 228 patients met inclusion criteria. 183 (80%) received PO vanc while 45 (20%) did not. 131 (71.6%) of patients who received PO vanc had diarrhea, 39 (21.3%) did not have diarrhea, 13 (7.1%) the presence of diarrhea was unknown. 41 of 143 (28.7%) of patients without ID consults received PO vanc despite not having diarrhea, while 11 of 40 (27.5%) patients seen by ID received PO vanc despite not having diarrhea (p=0.888). Conclusion Most patients who tested positive for C. difficile received PO vanc had documented diarrhea, meeting the definition of CDI. However, over 1 in 5 (21.3%) of patients who received PO vanc did not have diarrhea and may have been colonized rather than have true CDI. ID consultation did not decrease the number of patients without diarrhea who received PO vanc or prevent treatment of colonized patients. This work reveals there may be an opportunity for improvement regarding management of CDI vs. C. difficile colonization which may enhance antibiotic stewardship and the appropriate use of PO vanc.

Objetivo: Analisar a produção científica acerca da atual pandemia do novo coronavírus, destacando aspectos referentes às características do vírus, bem como a epidemiologia, o diagnóstico e tratamento da COVID-19 no intuito de fornecer informações aos profissionais de saúde e à comunidade científica. Método: Revisão narrativa, com busca nas bases de dados Scielo, Medline, Lilacs e Pubmed, referente ao período de fevereiro a maio de 2020, utilizando os descritores: “infecções por coronavírus” or “coronavirus infections”, “COVID-19”, “betacoronavirus”, “Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave”, “SARS-Cov-2”, “diagnóstico”, “diagnosis”. Resultados: Foram evidenciadas três categorias temáticas: aspectos referentes ao vírus; a epidemiologia e a clínica da doença; e aspectos do diagnóstico e tratamento. Conclusão: O Coronavírus sofreu mutações desde o início da pandemia, mas não se sabe se estas mutações afetaram seu poder de infecciosidade. Em diferentes partes do mundo a epidemiologia da COVID-19 foi diferente. Com relação ao tratamento, a droga que tem se mostrado mais promissora até o momento é o remdesivir. Sem uma vacina eficaz, a maior arma que dispomos é o isolamento social.Descritores: Infecções por Coronavírus; COVID-19; Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave. SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME AND COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2): A NARRATIVE REVIEWObjective: To analyze a scientific production on the current pandemic of new coronaviruses, highlighting aspects related to virus resources, as well as the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 in order to provide information to health professionals and the scientific community. Method: Narrative review, searching the Scielo, Medline, Lilacs and Pubmed databases, for the period from February to May 2020, using the keywords: "coronavirus infections" or "coronavirus infections", "COVID-19", "Betacoronavirus", "Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome", "SARS-Cov-2", "diagnosis", "diagnosis".
