COVID-19 infection in nursing staff: A cohort study.

Aim: This study aims to identify the working conditions of Brazilian nursing professionals and the risk factors for these professionals to become infected by coronavirus disease.

Background: Understanding the factors that affected nursing professionals during the pandemic can support better nursing management.

Design: This is a quantitative, cross-sectional survey study.

Rapid triage performed by nurses: Signs and symptoms associated with identifying critically ill patients in the emergency department.

Aim: Aim of this study is to identify signs and symptoms associated with identifying critically ill patients by rapid triage assessment performed by nurses in an emergency department.

Background: In some emergency services, the immediate assessment of critically ill patients occurs before opening the hospital formal registration and it is based on the nurse's experience. Studies on the topic are essential to improve this process.

Performance of the rapid triage conducted by nurses at the emergency entrance.

Objective: to compare the performance of the rapid triage conducted by nurses at the emergency entrance and of the Manchester Triage System (MTS) in identifying the priority level of care for patients with spontaneous demand and predicting variables related to hospitalization.

Method: a cross-sectional study carried out in an Emergency Department (ED) of a university hospital in São Paulo. The priority levels established in the rapid triage performed by nurses were high priority (patients of spontaneous demand directed to the emergency room) or low priority (those referred to the institution's usual flow).

Factors Associated With Interhospital Transfer of Trauma Victims.

This study aimed to identify the factors associated with interhospital transfer of trauma victims treated in the emergency department of a nontertiary hospital. Retrospective analysis of medical records of trauma victims treated from January to July 2014 in the emergency department of a hospital not specialized in trauma care and located in Brazil was undertaken. The inclusion criteria were as follows: being 15 years or older; being a trauma victim; having received prehospital care; and being admitted to the hospital directly from the scene of the accident.

Type of admission and nursing workload of critical patients: a cross-sectional study.

Background: According to the perception of nurses in the intensive care unit (ICU), surgical patients need more nursing care, thus requiring higher nursing workloads for these patients than those admitted as clinical patients. However, some study results on the relationship between the type of admission and the nursing workload are considered contradictory.

Aims And Objectives: To identify if the type of admission (clinical, emergency surgery or elective surgery) is a predictive factor of the nursing workload required by patients on the first day or throughout their stay in the ICU.

Evaluation of triage quality in the emergency department: a scoping review protocol.

The objective of this scoping review is to explore the existing literature on the evaluation of the quality of triage for patients of all ages and medical conditions in emergency departments (EDs).The question for this review is: How is triage in the ED evaluated? More specifically, we are interested in answering the following sub-questions.
