Objectives:
to identify in the literature and summarize nursing care in a hospital environment directed to patients who suffered burns.
Methods:
a scoping review, according to the JBI Reviewers’ Manual recommendations, with a search in the MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus databases and in the Virtual Health Library portal, through articles published between 2016 and December 2021.
Results:
of the total 419 articles found, nine were selected for analysis. The main care measures identified were changing dressings and types of coverage, vital sign control, non-pharmacological techniques for pain relief and opioid reduction.
Conclusions:
the complexity of burn care requires constant updating by the nursing team. Keeping it prepared to carry out the best nursing care practices for burn patients will promote adequate care, patient recovery and reduction of possible harm.

Objectives:
to present a theoretical model for the interactional context of health professionals and families of children and adolescents under palliative care.
Methods:
qualitative study based on the theoretical frameworks of Grounded Theory and Symbolic Interactionism. Ten palliative care professionals took part in this study through semi-structured interviews employing snowball technique from 2020 to 2021.
Results:
the comparative data analysis resulted in the theoretical model “Searching for human connection to transcend symbolisms in pediatric palliative care”. It reveals symbolic elements that substantiate the construction of a collaborative context integrating two phenomena: “Overcoming boundaries and intertwining paths” and “Embracing suffering to weave meaningful experiences”. Symbolisms in palliative care guide the behavior of families and professionals, which makes them the key factor to be managed.
Final Considerations:
symbolisms and suffering continually integrate the interactional experience of professionals. Empathy and compassion are fundamental elements to enable their connection with families.

Objectives:
to identify and synthesize scientific evidence on the barriers and difficulties for Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) use and compliance for HIV.
Methods:
an integrative literature review, using the MEDLINE/PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Academic Search Premier and Scopus (Elsevier) databases.
Results:
all (100%) the articles included identified that PrEP users experience some type of structural barrier related to health services such as long distance from the units, suboptimal logistics for taking pills and professional resistance to prescribing PrEP. Furthermore, 63.21% identified social barriers, such as stigma about sexuality and HIV, in addition to individual barriers such as alcohol use, adverse effects, and concerns about long-term toxicity.
Conclusions:
the barriers to PrEP use are multifactorial. Effective interventions are needed to support PrEP users in accessing, complying with, and retaining health services.

Objectives:
to identify the effect on satisfaction and self-confidence of undergraduate nursing students after using a validated bed bath video during the simulation.
Methods:
blinded parallel randomized clinical trial. Participants were allocated to the control group (simulation with tutor) or intervention (simulation with video). After the interventions, the Student Satisfaction and Self Confidence with Learning Scale was used to assess satisfaction and self-confidence. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee and Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials. Mann Whitney, Fisher Exact and Student t statistical tests were used. A significance level of 5% was adopted. Results: fifty eight students (30, control; and 28, intervention) were evaluated. There was no significant difference between the groups regarding satisfaction (p=0.832) and self-confidence (p>0.999).
Conclusions:
satisfaction and self-confidence were similar between the groups, and the two strategies could be used in the simulated practice of bed bathing.

Objectives:
to analyze data from qualitative studies related to the phenomenon of health follow-up dropout of newborns, infants and preschoolers in child health services.
Methods:
systematic review, carried out in 19 information bases. Studies were included that portray the reasons for dropping out health follow-up of children up to five years old. The JBI methodology was used for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence.
Results:
we identified 20,199 studies. After applying the eligibility criteria, 81 were selected. Seven were excluded due to duplicity, resulting in 74 articles that were read in full. After this phase, three articles were selected for the final sample and later after reading their references, one more was included, totaling four articles for critical analysis.
Conclusions:
the synthesized findings highlight that health follow-up dropout is based on personal knowledge and beliefs, the family routine dynamics and access to services.

Objectives:
to analyze the social representations elaborated by sex workers from Alto Sertão Produtivo Baiano about quality of life.
Methods:
a qualitative study, based on the Social Representation Theory, carried out in the region of Alto Sertão Produtivo Baiano, with 30 sex workers. Individual in-depth interview was carried out, with speeches organized in a corpus and treated in IRAMUTEQ, enabling lexical analysis for Descending Hierarchical Classification.
Results:
four thematic classes emerged, in which social representations of quality of life pervade: money earned to supply needs; association with healthy living and obtaining health (physical and mental); balance of emotions (although there are some negative sensations such as fear and anxiety); and faith in a deity.
Final Considerations:
the social representations elaborated by sex workers about quality of life are anchored in concepts, subjective and practical, punctuated by the World Health Organization.

Results:
contemporary environmental issues involve complex determinants of the health-disease process. This fact requires the accomplishment of educative actions that encourage the change of environmental attitudes related to health-risk situations. In this sense, there are significant demands for emancipatory practices of primary care in Environmental Health by nurses, which need to be systematized by health and education institutions.
Final considerations:

For data analysis, Student’s t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s χ2 and Fisher’s exact test were used.
Results:
most were pre-frail (52.5%) and had no evidence of depressive symptoms (57.5%). They presented, on average, a score of 0.76 (±0.1) in relation to quality of life. Statistical significance was observed between the average scores of quality of life with depressive symptoms (p=0.012) and frailty level (p=0.004).

Objective:
To understand how the nursing staff perceives the care provided to people in situations of psychiatric urgencies and emergencies in the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU – Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência).
Method:
Descriptive and qualitative study conducted in the Northeast region of Brazil with 34 of the SAMU nursing workers. Data were obtained by semi-structured interviews and processed by the Thematic Analysis.
Results:
The analysis of interviews allowed the identification of three categories: mechanical practice, need for qualification and (de)humanization of care. The results showed that the care offered to users in psychiatric urgency or emergency situations is based on mechanistic and specific actions.
Final considerations:
Nursing workers perceive that the care for people in situations of psychiatric urgency and emergency in SAMU is mainly based on physical and chemical containment measures, performing a little resolute and dehumanized care and raising the need for professional qualification.
