Data were collected using information from the medical records of the users and semi-structured interviews conducted between October and November 2016. RESULTS The results were discussed according to thematic content analysis with three thematic categories: self-care and living with the ulcer, self-care deficit and supporting users with ulcer, and self-care and the ulcer care network, based on the Nursing Self-Care Deficit Theory.

The support of family members and the service can facilitate or limit care.

Profissionalização da editoração de periódicos científicos: desafios da gestão de manuscritos na implantação do ScholarOne Manuscripts

A historia e o presente distinguem a Revista Gaucha de Enfermagem (RGE) como um importante meio de divulgacao e disseminacao do conhecimento na area da Enfermagem e saude no âmbito nacional e internacional. A RGE vem sendo um periodico de vanguarda dentro do atual contexto editorial ha mais de 40 anos ininterruptos, contribuindo com a comunidade cientifica nos diferentes contextos de atuacao da enfermagem.The history and the present days distinguish the Revista Gaúcha de Enfermagem (RGE) as an important means of disclosure and dissemination of knowledge in the area of Nursing and Health in the national and international scope. RGE has been a leading journal within the current editorial context for more than 40 years uninterrupted, contributing to the scientific community in different operational contexts of nursing. To that end, RGE’s editorial team has undertaken efforts in order to meet the criteria, politics and procedures for admission and permanence of scientific journals in the SciELO Brasil Collection, according to documents published in 2014 and 2017, which consider three priority actions for national scientific journals: professionalization, internationalization and financial sustainability. Recently, in 2016, RGE migrated its management system of manuscripts from the SEER Electronic System of Journal Editing (SEER Sistema Eletrônico de Editoração de Revistas) editing interface to ScholarOne Manuscripts. With this, the work process of the editorial team had to be reformulated in order to professionalize and qualify the previously consolidated practices. Besides the new tools, the ScholarOne Manuscripts platform has contributed to the professionalization of the editorial team, by standardizing actions and simplifying the procedures of submission and follow-up of the editorial flow for the authors that want to publish their manuscripts in RGE. The authors desire an agile, careful and fair evaluation, adequate editing, fidelity to the text, speed and academic impact with the publication. This set of expectations fundamentally depends on the quality of the article and of the editorial processes of the journals by means of computerized systems, pre-analysis, process of peer review, and quality of editing. The ScholarOne Manuscripts interface is an electronic editing platform of scientific journals by Thomson Reuters and is associated with big publishers and scientific databases, being an international platform that standardizes the editing processes among the journals with a high impact factor. Authors are allowed to follow all processing and editing steps of the manuscript, according to the phases inherent to the editorial flow. Moreover, there was an expansion of the visibility and circulation of RGE among the prominent journals, strengthening the engagement with the movement of free access, continuous flow and electronic format. The appropriation of the new criteria by the editorial team for utilization of the ScholarOne Manuscripts, aiming at mediating the relationship of the authors and ad hoc reviewers with the new interface technology, has required investments for improvement in all steps of the editorial flow, from the processes of submission, receipt, pre-analysis, review, evaluation, editing, and layout, to the publication of the scientific articles submitted. Professionalizing the publication of scientific journals: challenges of manuscript management in the implementation of ScholarOne Manuscripts

Dermatologic Assistance in Primary Health Care: A Nursing Approach

This chapter provides descriptive, exploratory, and reflective text about the role of nurses in the care of the person with skin lesions in the services that are part of the Brazilian healthcare network, particularly in primary care. The following data collection techniques were used: field diary, empirical observation, consultation of secondary data and records from clinical care, participation in clinical and management activities, and life stories. The development of the analysis was oriented based on the life experiences of the authors in their care of persons with skin lesions, constituting itself as a theoretical and empirical essay. The chapter includes results from the research entitled “Integrated research on work organization and integrality of the services: new technologies in the care of the client with skin lesion on the health care network in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.” The narrative contributes with discussions and reflections on the importance of the nursing professional in the care of persons with skin lesion, witnessing the evolution of its performance at different levels of health care, with emphasis on primary health care as a resolute point of attention and as the basis for the management flow in dermatology, aiming to overcome cloistered practice in hospitals and the training of staff to care for the skin at different levels of the healthcare network. The report also aims to encourage the participation of the patients and families to take responsibility for their care, strengthening the nursing role in favor of the healthcare network.
