seguridad del paciente en la Enfermería.Metodología: Revisión integrativa de la literatura, realizada en las bases de datos: LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF, IBECS, CINAHL, Web of Science y SCOPUS.Resultados: Se seleccionaron 11 artículos publicados a partir de 2007, predominantemente en los Estados Unidos, descriptivos y de intervención, cuya estrategia para enseñanza de seguridad del paciente en la enfermería más utilizada fue la simulación y, en una investigación, el método del aprendizaje basado en el problema.Conclusión: La enseñanza sobre seguridad del paciente en la enfermería ha sido realizada en la mayoría de las veces por medio de simulación, pero es poco difundido en Brasil. Por lo tanto, es fundamental la inclusión de esta temática en las matrices curriculares de Enfermería desde el inicio del curso y el uso de métodos y estrategias robustos de enseñanza. Objective: To identify scientific evidence in the literature on how the teaching of patient safety takes place in Nursing.Methodology: It was an integrative review of the literature conducted in the following databases: LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF, IBECS, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus.Results: 11 articles published from 2007 were selected, predominantly in the United States, descriptive and of intervention type, in which the most papers used strategy for teaching patient safety in Nursing was simulation and in research, the problem-based learning method.Conclusion: Teaching patient safety in Nursing has been carried out most of the time through simulation, but it remains little-known in Brazil. Therefore, it is essential to include this topic in Nursing curricular programs from the beginning of the course and the use of strong teaching methods and strategies. Objetivo: Identificar na literatura evidências científicas sobre como é realizado o ensino de segurança do paciente na Enfermagem. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nas bases de dados: LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF, IBECS, CINAHL, Web of Science e SCOPUS. Resultados: Foram selecionados 11 artigos publicados a partir de 2007, predominantemente nos Estados Unidos, descritivos e de intervenção, cuja estratégia para o ensino de segurança do paciente na Enfermagem mais utilizada foi a simulação e em uma pesquisa o método da aprendizagem baseada em problema. Conclusão: O ensino sobre segurança do paciente na Enfermagem tem sido realizado na maioria das vezes por meio de simulação, mas é pouco difundido no Brasil.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To search for the scientific evidence available on nursing professional actions during the anesthetic procedure. METHOD An integrative review of articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish, indexed in MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS, National Cochrane, SciELO databases and the VHL portal. RESULTS Seven studies were analyzed, showing nurse anesthetists' work in countries such as the United States and parts of Europe, with the formulation of a plan for anesthesia and patient care regarding the verification of materials and intraoperative controls. The barriers to their performance involved working in conjunction with or supervised by anesthesiologists, the lack of government guidelines and policies for the legal exercise of the profession, and the conflict between nursing and the health system for maintenance of the performance in places with legislation and defined protocols for the specialty. Conclusion Despite the methodological weaknesses found, the studies indicated a wide diversity of nursing work. Furthermore, in countries absent of the specialty, like Brazil, the need to develop guidelines for care during the anesthetic procedure was observed.

Many refugee and immigrant women in the United States experience cultural and language barriers when seeking pregnancy-related medical care. Such barriers may delay needed care and adversely impact birth outcomes. Embrace Refugee Birth Support (Embrace) in Clarkston, Georgia, supports pregnant refugee women by offering birth education classes in the women’s primary languages. Our academic–practice partnership designed and implemented a series of birth education videos for Embrace participants. Based on input from former participants, the partnership team created video scenarios that could be embedded into Embrace’s existing didactic curriculum. The videos addressed common challenges and learning needs identified by previous participants. All videos were filmed in the participant’s primary languages (Swahili and Kinyarwanda) and featured actual Embrace graduates who spoke the languages. Then, Embrace trainers used the video scenarios to augment teaching on birth preparedness and foster participant discussion during class sessions. After implementation, a focus group with participants in the video-expanded class reported the videos were well received, understood, and practically related to their pregnancy needs. Overall, participants reported that video scenarios were an important part of their learning and skill development, as well as a positive experience. Embrace has plans to continue creating native language educational videos for additional languages and birth-related topics. The academic partner’s attempts to measure video impact with standardized quantitative instruments at baseline were terminated. The substantive revisions in data collection strategies highlight the need for cross-cultural flexibility and the potential for unforeseen barriers when using quantitative research tools among non–English-speaking participants.

This study aimed to investigate workplace violence (WPV) experienced by medical professionals in the United States as well as individual and managerial actions following violent episodes and further, predict estimators of WPV. A modified version of the Workplace Violence in the Health Sector: Country Case Studies Research Instruments Survey Questionnaire was used to assess the incidence and management of workplace violence experienced by healthcare workers. Medical personnel from two social aggregation websites were recruited to participate in an online survey. 226 valid questionnaires were received. 48.5\% and 76.1\% of respondents, respectively, experienced physical and psychological violence in the past year. Risk factors for violence included occupation, patient population, ethnicity, and higher levels of anxiety regarding violence in hospitals. Overall, 17.7\% of reported incidents were investigated, 52.4\% of cases saw no consequences meted out to perpetrators and 51.7\% of victims suffered from negative emotions or aftereffects following a violent episode. Only 30.1\% of victims formally reported their experience with violence. The prevalence of violence was high and medical professionals were negatively affected by violence; however, formal reporting of episodes was low and measures combating violence were inadequate. Harsher penalties for perpetrators of violence are needed and hospitals need to implement guidelines that track the management of violence.

Background. The keratorefractive surgeries (KRS) are one of the most common ocular surgeries. One of the dangerous complications of these surgeries is infectious keratitis (IK), which is the second cause of blindness after cataract surgery. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of IK after KRS in different parts of the world. Methods. In order to obtain relevant studies, all national and international databases including IranMedex, SID, Magiran, IranDoc, Medlib, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched using standard keywords. Results. IK prevalence after KRS was 0.000496% (0.000145% for the left eye and 0.000149% for the right eye). IK prevalence after KRS in the United States, Europe, and Asia was 0.000667%, 0.000473%, and 0.000045%, respectively, in all of which the common microorganisms were Staphylococci. Meta-regression showed no significant association between IK after KRS and either sample size or publication year of the studies. IK prevalence after KRS in the right eye was more than that in the left one. Also, the probability of IK incidence after LASIK surgery was more than PRK and LASEK. In the evaluation of continents, IK after KRS in the United States was more frequent compared with Europe and Asia. Conclusions. This study provided data as to the overall prevalence of IK following KRS and its variations according to the types of eye, surgery, pathogenic microorganism, and geographical location.
