Objective: construction and validation of a systematization instrument for Nursing Care, characterizing the profile of patients of an intensive care unit in the north of Brazil. Methods: it was a descriptive methodological study that followed a nursing process model in five phases. Results: it was suggested that the instrument be constructed in two formats; one for admission and another for daily assessment. Some items were removed from the instrument according to content validation content by the nurses. Of the 45 patients evaluated, 60.0% were men, 44.0% were married, 40.0% had low education levels, chronic renal failure and cancer. The main nursing diagnoses were risk for infection (100.0%) and impaired physical mobility (97.8%). The main nursing interventions were: handwashing, changing intravenous access, performing aseptic techniques and moving patients every 2 hours. Conclusion: construction and content validation were carried out successfully, promoting instruments capable of providing quality nursing care for patients in intensive care.

This study aims to investigate how the different leadership levels can apply change management successfully in larger organisations, in order to facilitate business excellence. First, change models and leadership theories are analysed under EFQM principles, as it is selected as the framework for excellence. Then, a theoretical change management process is synthesised in alignment with leadership organisational levels. The main challenge of this research is to adequately connect theory about leading organisational change with practice. The research process is enriched by 6 semi-structured interviews in two different case studies, while the previous findings are validated through 3 structured interviews in a third case study. The analysis shows that although leaders believe that they identify the need for change, sometimes they do not, or they make sense of it too late. As such, a five-step change process model is created as the conclusion of the theoretical and case studies analyses. The value of this research is the connection between theory and practice as it tries to identify the responsible gaps for wrong or not fully successful organisational change projects. The suggested model simplifies the theory into practical steps while the success factors ensure that the enablers can support change efficiently. Further research based on the adoption of Senge’s systems theory for network leadership level is recommended to organisations.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the formation of nursing doctorates in Brazil, from theses production, disciplines and other strategies focusing on research offered by courses.METHOD: a descriptive and analytical study of the performance of 18 doctoral courses in nursing, running from 1982 to 2010, and defended their theses between 2010-2012.RESULTS: 502 theses were defended in this period, most linked to the online research process of health and nursing care. There are gaps in the knowledge of theoretical and philosophical foundations of care, nursing history and ethics. There are also weaknesses in the methodological design of the theses, with a predominance of descriptive and/or exploratory studies. This was consistent with international standards set with regards to the proposition of research of disciplines and complementary strategies in forming the doctorate.CONCLUSION: despite the efforts and advances in research formation, it is essential to expand to more robust research designs with a greater impact on production knowledge that is incorporated into practice.

This chapter reviews advances in nursing education as well as future needs to prepare clinical nurses for palliative care. Nurses are an essential component of the palliative care workforce across all patient populations and settings. The delivery of quality palliative care requires nursing care which includes competency in physical, psychosocial, and spiritual care. Nurses work with other professionals to deliver interdisciplinary care which is the foundation of palliative care. Advancing nursing education will strengthen the clinical practice of palliative care to meet established guidelines for quality care in serious illness.

This paper describes human factors relevant to the design of automated systems for clinical nursing information management, and several studies investigating human factors aspects of new clinical nursing information systems. Functions of systems to assist clinical nurses with information management are described. The importance of human factors in designing these computer systems is discussed by describing three categories of human factors: physical and demographic characteristics of nurses, characteristics of the hospital physical environment, and characteristics of the nursing care environment. Several human factors studies conducted by a multi-hospital corporation and two vendors to understand the nature and impact of human factors on systems design are discussed. Various data collection methodologies are described that investigate two different approaches to the design of hardware solutions for a clinical nursing information system.
