Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of the clinical simulation on the cognitive performance of nursing students in adult immunization scenarios in the context of Primary Health Care.
Method: a controlled and randomized pre-test and post-test clinical trial applied to random intervention and control groups. 34 undergraduate nursing students were selected and divided into two groups: classes with active participation of students and skills training (control); and classes with active participation of students, skills training, and clinical simulation (intervention).
Objective: To evaluate the self-confidence of nurses in the care of critically ill patients, before and after a simulated intervention.
Method: A quasi-experimental study was carried out with 103 nurses who participated in a workshop on the care of critically ill patients in the first semester of 2016. A clinical simulation pedagogical instrument was used throughout the event, and self-confidence was assessed by the Portuguese version of the Self-confidence Scale (SCSvp).
Aim: To analyze the empathizing and systemizing profiles of Brazilian and Portuguese nursing undergraduates.
Background: Empathy is a fundamental skill for nursing practice and should be analyzed during the student's education.
Methods: Descriptive study with cross-sectional design.

The hypermedia construction stages were conducted from February 2015 to March 2016 and integrated theoretical studies, focus group with professors and educational technology development process in the light of the referential Theory of Significant Learning.
Objective: to perform the semantic validation of the short versions of the Empathy-Systemizing Quotient Scales, intended to measure the empathetic and systemizing profiles of individuals. The scales originated in Cambridge and were validated in Portugal, and were assessed for their psychometric properties.
Method: methodological study included the scales' semantic validation (content validity) and verification of their psychometric properties (internal consistency).
Aim: The aim of the study was to identify and reflect on evidence regarding the use of simulation in nursing education.
Background: The use of simulation as a teaching strategy in nursing is expanding. It is important to check the evidence deriving from research.

Methods: It was conducted to examine and map the scientific evidences about quality of life (QoL) in neurogenic bladder patients and their caregivers, to identify the meanings attributed to QoL and its relation with intermittent urinary catheterization.
Objectives: measure and compare the quality of life of neurogenic bladder patients using intermittent urinary catheterization who were going through rehabilitation in Brazil and Portugal.
Method: multicenter, quantitative, cross-sectional, observational-analytic and correlational study executed in Brazil and Portugal. Two data collection tools were used, being one questionnaire with sociodemographic and clinical data and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-bref.
Objective: To analyze the concept of virtual learning object and environment according to Rodgers' evolutionary perspective.
Method: Descriptive study with a mixed approach, based on the stages proposed by Rodgers in his concept analysis method. Data collection occurred in August 2015 with the search of dissertations and theses in the Bank of Theses of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel.
Objective: To develop a theoretical-practical script based on the opinion of experts to be used in simulated clinical activities.
Method: Qualitative study through analysis of content of interviews with experts on the theme in order to develop the proposed script. Of the 24 invited experts, 12 specialists from educational institutions in Brazil and abroad participated in the study in compliance with the ethical precepts.
Objective: To validate a measurement instrument for clean intermittent self-catheterization for patients and health-caregivers.
Material And Methods: Methodological study of instrument validation performed at a Rehabilitation Center in a University hospital for patients submitted to clean intermittent self-catheterization and their health-caregivers. Following ethical criteria, data were collected during interview with nurse staff using a Likert question form containing 16 items with 5 points each: "no confidence"=1, "little confidence"=2, "confident"=3, "very confident"=4 and "completely confident"=5.
Background:: In health, ethics is an essential aspect of practice and care and guarantees a better quality of life for patients and their caregivers.
Objective:: To outline a conceptual analysis of quality of life and ethics, identifying attributes, contexts and magnitudes for health.
Method:: A qualitative design about quality of life and ethics in health, considering the evolutionary approach in order to analyse the concept.

December 2016
The objective of this review is to investigate the effectiveness of the use of intermittent urinary catheterization in improving the quality of life (QoL) of patients with neurogenic bladder.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Discussion of the "Impaired Comfort" nursing diagnosis.
Methods: Discussion paper based on the authors' ongoing PhD research about the development of comfort as a complex intervention.
Findings: When the patient has impaired comfort, the nursing intervention should be specific to the etiological factor.
Computer and laboratory simulation in the teaching of neonatal nursing: innovation and impact on learning.
Rev Lat Am Enfermagem
October 2016
Objectives: to evaluate the cognitive learning of nursing students in neonatal clinical evaluation from a blended course with the use of computer and laboratory simulation; to compare the cognitive learning of students in a control and experimental group testing the laboratory simulation; and to assess the extracurricular blended course offered on the clinical assessment of preterm infants, according to the students.
Method: a quasi-experimental study with 14 Portuguese students, containing pretest, midterm test and post-test. The technologies offered in the course were serious game e-Baby, instructional software of semiology and semiotechnique, and laboratory simulation.
Background: The use of simulation to reproduce the experience of health care settings and its use as a strategy in the teaching of nurses has grown at an unprecedented rate. There is little scientific evidence to examine the differences in satisfaction and gains perceived by the students with the use of medium and high fidelity.
Objectives: To analyse and benchmark gains and satisfaction perceived by nursing students, according to their participation in medium- and high-fidelity simulated practice.
Background: Holistic comfort is an important outcome in palliative care and an important goal for patients, relatives and healthcare workers. Holistic comfort considers one's acceptance of life circumstances, support from loved ones and health care professionals, and peaceful resolution of relationships during stressful situations. However, this type of comfort is still difficult to measure, particularly in palliative care patients, as there is a lack of instruments available, especially in the Portuguese language.
