ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the adhesion of the nursing team to the practice of hands hygiene (HH) and the use of latex gloves in a hemodialysis service. Method: this is a descriptive-exploratory study with a quantitative approach, performed between August and October 2016 in a hemodialysis service in the countryside of São Paulo State, Brazil, where the nursing team adhered to HH and the use of gloves. All ethical aspects have been contemplated. Results: there were 1090 opportunities for HH, with the adhesion rate being only 16.6%. Regarding the use of gloves, of the 510 opportunities observed, there was correct use in 45%, reuse in 25% and absence of latex gloves in 29% of the time. Conclusion: the rate of HH and adherence to gloves is far from ideal, contributing to the increased risk of infection for both the user and the professional.

Objective: To analyze the influences and repercussions of enterostomal therapy on the career of nurses. Methods: Descriptive, exploratory study with quantitative approach, conducted in 2014. The sample consisted of 29 nurses graduated from the Nursing School of the University of São Paulo and the University of Taubaté. The data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed by SPHINXR software. The results were discussed in the light of the literature on the subject. Results: The continuity of the studies provided the nurse a career with promotions, management positions or even a career redirection. The work environment influenced the achievement of the specialty (21/79%). The participants worked in several types of institutions and their positions were diverse, thus presenting options for those who want to pursue a career in the area. Conclusion: The job market, as well as the environment in which the nurse is inserted, most of the time plays a defining role when the subject is the choice of a specialization.

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the presence of Staphylococcus aureus in the saliva of the nursing team of a teaching hospital in the interior of São Paulo State. Three saliva samples were collected from 351 individuals with an interval of two months between each collection. All ethical aspects were considered. In 867 (82.3%) cultures there was no identification of Staphylococcus aureus in the saliva, in 88 (17.7%) cultures Staphylococcus aureus was isolated, 26 (2.5%) of which were resistant to methicillin. The prevalence of professionals colonized by Staphylococcus aureus was 41.0% (144/351), of which 7.1% (25/351) were characterized as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Transient carriers represented 81.2% and persistent carriers 18.8%. Resistance to mupirocin was 73.1% of MRSA and 9.3% of MSSA. The results demonstrate that it is the nurse and nursing technician that are the professional categories most susceptible to MRSA. Broader discussion on the thematic and interventions are needed.
