Methods: methodological study involving the steps of initial translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, expert panel and pretest. For analysis by the expert committee, the content validity index was calculated and in the pretest for practicality, the agreement rate was calculated. Satisfactory agreement was considered when > 0.8 and 80%, respectively. Results: the initial steps of translation were satisfactorily developed and there was little disagreement between the translators. In the expert panel, was obtained significant concordance of 0.97. The pretest was performed with ten nurses and 30 patients. The feasibility of the translated version was evaluated with 100% agreement. Final Considerations: the instrument presented a high level of concordance among the experts during all steps and showed content validity thereby making the adaptation appropriate for...

Clients affected need specific nursing care. Objective: to identify recommended nursing care for clients with pemphigus. Method: integrative literature review. The search for articles was performed in Scientific Electronic Library Online; Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciencias da Saude; Base de Dados de Enfermagem; and United States National Library of Medicine, using the keywords: nursing and pemphigus (in English and Portuguese). Of the 31 articles found, only six met the inclusion criteria. Despite the importance of nursing care for client comfort and to prevent injuries, articles published on the subject - particularly in recent years - are scarce. Accordingly, there is a need to review older techniques in the endeavor to offer the care these clients deserve.

Methods: Systematic review of literature search in the electronic databases Medline/Pubmed; Medline and Journal @Ovid / Ovid; CINAHL; Lilacs and Cochrane, the search strategies used the following descriptors and keywords: leg ulcer; varicose ulcer; bandage; "Stockings, compression"; venous ulceration; venous ulcer; compressive therapy; compression therapy; stocking. Results: The search yielded 25 articles. The use of bandage compression was more effective than the bandage without compression. Bandages multilayer contribute to the healing of venous ulcers. The use of compression stockings and blood flow brokerage surgery are associated with the prevention of recurrence of ulcers. Conclusion: The treatment of venous ulcers using some type of compression was effective in the healing process.

Method: Systematic review conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS in Portuguese, English and Spanish, with the time limit: 2005-2015. Results: 9 studies analyzed the effectiveness of PFMT associated or not with biofeedback (BFB) and electrical stimulation (ES). Conclusion: PFMT with or without the biofeedback and electrical stimulation may contribute to the early recovery of continence. Patients with initial difficulty of identifying the pelvic floor muscles can benefit from ES followed BFB sessions of structured PFMT. A greater participation of nurses in the care related to the early return of continence in post-prostatectomy patients is possible through the implementation of pelvic floor muscle exercises and behavioral therapy.
