Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is still considered a priority due to its high incidence rate in Brazil. In this context, we aimed to evaluate the flow of care between the municipalities of patients diagnosed with TB through notification forms of the Information System for Diseases and Notifications (SINAN) in a neglected region of Northern Brazil, Ilha do Marajó, state of Para. For this, we performed a descriptive, retrospective study on data obtained from the National Register of Health Establishments and SINAN from 2013 to 2018. We used Pearson's Chi-square and G Test with p-value < 0.05 for descriptive statistics and spatial analysis technique on flow network analysis. Of the 749 cases, 16.5% were notified in another municipality that was not the patient's residence. Regarding diagnostic methods, a positive bacterioscopy was adopted for 56% of the patients; culture was not performed for 82% of cases. Histopathological examination was not performed in 90% of the individuals. Rapid molecular test (RMT) was performed in only six (5%) cases. The region needs greater attention focused on diagnostic tests, suggesting that the introduction of RMT and culture by Ogawa-Kudoh could improve the region's health network to minimise patient displacement and thus avoid the increase in the transmission chain of TB.

Abstract
Objetivo: validar o conteúdo de uma cartilha para melhorar a qualidade de vida no cotidiano de familiares/cuidadores de pacientes oncológicos em cuidados paliativos domiciliares. Métodos: estudo de caráter metodológico. Dados coletados de setembro de 2021 a maio de 2022. Os participantes foram 17 juízes especialistas, sendo 14 da área da saúde e 3 de outras áreas. Estudo mediado por um questionário estruturado de acordo com a escala Likert, possui itens dispostos em objetivos, estrutura, apresentação e relevância. Resultados: dos 21 itens do questionário dos juízes da área da saúde somente três resultaram em escore I (inadequado). Revela-se a tecnologia validada, pois conforme a literatura é necessário obter um índice de validação de conteúdo em pelo menos 70%, e o índice alcançado foi de 88%. Conforme as sugestões dos juízes produziu-se a versão adequação da tecnologia. Conclusão: considera-se que a cartilha está validada e com os ajustes poderá a promover o autocuidado, podendo reduzir desconhecimentos e dar mais qualidade de vida aos familiares/cuidadores de pacientes oncológicos em fim de vida.

Abstract
Descrever o protagonismo da enfermagem no enfrentamento da pandemia da COVID-19 em uma unidade de urgência e emergência no município de Belém- Pará. Métodos: Pesquisa de campo, descritiva, realizada em uma Unidade de Pronto Atendimento (UPA), localizada no município de Belém-Pará. Participaram da pesquisa, 19 enfermeiros do turno da manhã, tarde e noite, sendo 13 mulheres e seis homens. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e a análise de conteúdo de forma qualitativa. Resultados: Emergiram dos dados quatro categorias temáticas: os enfermeiros da linha de frente da pandemia covid-19 em uma unidade de pronto atendimento Belém- Pará; o protagonismo da enfermagem na linha de frente ao combate a covid-19; a valorização da enfermagem na pandemia e o papel das mídias sociais: herói ou escravo? Desafios dos enfermeiros na linha de frente da pandemia da covid-19, por meio das quais os resultados foram descritos. Considerações Finais: O presente estudo evidenciou o cuidado de enfermagem como a base do protagonismo dos enfermeiros na linha de frente do atendimento ao paciente com COVID-19.

Abstract
The city of Ananindeua, State of Pará, Brazil, is a hyperendemic area for tuberculosis (TB). The present study describes the population characteristics and epidemiological indicators of TB cases from Ananindeua, from 2018 to 2020. The TB cases were screened from the Municipal Health Department of Ananindeua database, and the secondary data were obtained from the Brazilian Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). A high percentage of cases did not undergo a rapid molecular test (74.9%) or culture (84.8%) for diagnosis of TB; a chest X-ray examination for diagnosis of TB was performed in 74.47% of new cases. The SINAN form data was incomplete on susceptibility test results (<0.01−92.7). Sputum smear microscopy for monitoring treatment was recorded in the follow-up form in 34.3% and after the 6th month in 61.1% of cases. The cure rate (60.31%) was below the recommendation by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The quality indicators showed many weaknesses: (I) lack of availability of smear microscopy as a diagnostic test in a hyper-endemic area; (II) low availability of specific exams such as culture and rapid molecular test (RMT); (III) low adherence to smear microscopy to monitor the evolution of cases during treatment; (IV) absence of drug susceptibility test data; (V) failure to fill in essential variables for TB surveillance.
