Objective: To describe the therapeutic itinerary of people with an ostomy in search of specialized care. Method: exploratory, descriptive study with a qualitative approach, with ten people with ostomy treated at the Ostomy Care Service (Serviço de Atenção à Saúde da Pessoa Ostomizada), from August to November 2017. Reconstitution took place through semi-structured interviews, registration in a field diary and consultation with records of specialized health services, and processed by the software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Texte et de Questionnaires. Results: the therapeutic itinerary begins with the discovery of signs and symptoms, when there is access to the nearest health services and later in search of specialized services. Marked by formal connections and supported by interrelated subsystems. The trajectories of search, production, health transport and health care management undertaken by individuals, families and informal groups express different paths and movements in the phase that precedes specialized care. Conclusion: the knowledge apprehended by the speeches enables the identification of basic needs presented by this clientele, facilities and barriers encountered in the course undertaken to obtain an adequate therapeutic plan.

This exploratory descriptive study, using a qualitative approach, aimed to characterize the social support of nurses in the care of their own children. The participants were ten nurses who were mothers, selected through a snowball method. Data collection occurred from November 2011 to January 2012 through semi-structured interviews and construction of families' genograms and ecomaps. Data were analyzed through Bardin content analysis, leading to the establishment of two categories: (1) Returning to work: the importance of family support and (2) The family and their interactive contexts: types of bonds. The social support network of the family is essential to the lives of these women, who need support, assistance and guidance in directing their activities in everyday overload.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the professional practice models used by nurses in the hospital context. Method: A descriptive study with a qualitative approach was carried out in 19 hospitals with 56 nurses. Data collection was carried out by means of a semi-structured interview. Results: The following categories emerged from analysis: a practice focused on the management of signs and symptoms, where the biomedical model, prevention of complications, and early detection of signs and symptoms of clinical worsening stood out, and a practice based on patients' human responses, emphasizing health promotion, self-care promotion, autonomy reconstruction, functional rehabilitation, patients' training, preparation to return home, and facilitation of transitions. Final considerations: In spite of the evolution seen in some contexts, a distance between the models practiced and those presented is still found, which indicates the need for changes ensuring structuring and systematization of the professional practice.

ABSTRACT Objective: To know the aspects involved in the production of subjectivity and autonomy of nursing professionals working in Pediatric Units. Method: An exploratory and descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, performed with users, professionals and nursing managers, totaling 44 participants. Data collection took place in the pediatric hospitalization units of two University Hospitals through semi-structured interviews, organized and treated by Nvivo 10 software and then submitted to content analysis. Results: The production of subjectivity and autonomy in nursing workers involves both the conditions of the work environment as the relation of the nursing team, the relation of hierarchy and the profile of the professional that works in the Pediatric Unit. Final considerations: The valorization path of the nursing profession emerges, whose knowledge and competence in the area of work contribute to the construction of autonomous subjectivities.

This study aims to describe the trajectory children and adolescents experience from the beginning of cancer signs and symptoms until the confirmation of the diagnosis, based on their parents' report. A total of eight mothers and two fathers participated in the study. Data were collected through semi structured interviews, and data were subject to qualitative analysis. We found that this period is significant for parents, who are capable of recognizing that something wrong started to happen to their children, expressed through signs and symptoms. They precisely reported the chronological time of this trajectory. The challenges they mentioned refer to the different diagnostic hypotheses, the difficulty to performing specific diagnostic exams and to be referred to specialized care services. This search for health service care revealed to be a difficult journey, which permits to identify that the Brazilian Basic Health System's principles of accessibility and problem-solving capacity are jeopardized.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the feelings of suffering that Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses experience, and the strategies they use to face these feelings. It is a descriptive study using a qualitative approach and based on content analysis. The study used previous studies on Work Psychodynamics as complementary groundwork. Data collection occurred by means of semi-structured interviews, which were transcribed, categorized, and subcategorized. Results showed that suffering is related to: taking care of a young patient in critical condition, taking problems home, the patient's family, the team's work, and technology at work. As for the defense strategies used, emphasis is given to the search for strength in religion, promoting inter-relationships among team members, engaging in physical activity, and withdrawing from the patient.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the bodily awareness of people with stomies. Method: a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, carried out in the Ostomized Association of the State of Ceará, through semi-structured interviews with ten people with intestinal stomies, according to Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological thinking. Results: two categories of analysis emerged: The body that I have, in which the sensations of deficiency, imperfection and bad odor add to the feeling of strangeness towards one's own body, affecting the way of being in the world of each deponent; and The body that others perceive, in which the stoma is seen as an embarrassing and complex experience, since it hampers daily activities and conviviality with other people. Final considerations: The corporeal consciousness of Being-Stomp-in-the-world requires the movement to reconstruct the senses of the body from the body I have and from that which others perceive.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the attitudes, knowledge and skills that make up the professional competencies of nurses working in indigenous territories. Method: this is an exploratory-descriptive study with a qualitative approach, conducted with nurses working in the Xingu Indigenous Park in 2016. Data were obtained in semi-structured interviews and treated according to the thematic-categorical analysis method. Results: the nurse’s performance in the Xingu Indigenous Park has a multifaceted character, being defined by the territory’s interculturality and specificities and by how the service is organized. Technical skills, concepts from anthropology and attitudes that facilitate a respectful dialogue with cultural difference are required for a professional to act in this context. Final considerations: the performance of health professionals in indigenous territories requires specificities associated with the acquisition of new knowledge, attitudes and skills geared to the intercultural dimension of the work developed.
