Objectives:
to assess factors associated with vulnerability and fragility in the elderly.
Methods:
crosssectional study with 384 elderly people in Fortaleza, Ceará. The Vulnerable Elders Survey and Clinical-Functional Vulnerability Index – 20 were used. Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were used for associations. In the analysis of the combined influence of risk factors, the stepwise logistic regression and multinomial regression methods were adopted.
Results:
251 (65.4%) non-vulnerable and 133 (34.6%) vulnerable elders. From the vulnerable elders analyzed, 42 (30.9%) are at high risk for frailty. Factors associated with vulnerability: age, gender, presence of comorbidities, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis and use of polypharmacy. There is a 30% increase in the chance of vulnerability for each additional drug. Physical activity reduces the chance of vulnerability by 60%. Factors associated with frailty: educational level; self-perception of health; comorbidities; polypharmacy.
Conclusions:
it is important to pay attention to the presence of arterial hypertension, osteoporosis, polypharmacy, and encourage the practice of physical activity.

Objective:
To identify the potentialities, barriers and difficulties for the implementation of humanized care from the perspective of the Kangaroo Method.
Methods:
Integrative literature review with a time cut from 02/01/2015 to 06/01/2019, totaling ten articles in the final sample.
Results:
The findings were categorized into two categories: Potentialities for humanized care from the perspective of the Kangaroo Method; Barriers or difficulties to the implementation of the Kangaroo Method. Several potentialities for humanized care allied to technology and continuing education were identified, as well as several barriers to the implementation of the Kangaroo Method, such as lack of physical space, lack of professionals and team training, lack of knowledge, lack of adherence and professional demotivation.
Final considerations:
There are still few studies that address the potentialities, barriers and difficulties for the implementation of humanized care from the perspective of the Kangaroo Method, and most of those included in this review were conducted in Brazil and present a qualitative approach.

Objective:
To analyze caregivers’ knowledge about prevention of domestic accidents in early childhood and its association with education level.
Methods:
This is a cross-sectional study conducted in a Primary Care Unit in Niterói with caregivers (convenience sample) of children under 6 years old. To classify the knowledge, we adopted the Positivity Index; to verify the association between the variable “schooling” and knowledge, the chi square test was used; statistically significant results: p < 0.05.
Results:
A total of 256 caregivers participated; 93.5% showed adequate knowledge. In the individual items, the knowledge (100%) about prevention of accidents with sharp toys, firearms, intoxication by products stood out; and less frequently (64.5%), the knowledge of the information contained in the Child’s Health Booklet. There was no statistically significant association (p = 0.237) between education and knowledge. Conclusion: The caregivers presented knowledge about the prevention of domestic accidents, and this was not associated with the level of education.

Objective:
to identify scientific evidence on the effectiveness of using cloth masks as safe protectors against COVID-19.
Method:
an integrative review of articles available in full obtained at PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science. Controlled, non-controlled descriptors and keywords such as “mask”, “home-made” and “cloth” or “cotton” and “infection control” or “infection prevention” were used.
Results:
thirty-eight articles were selected; of these, seven studies made up the sample. Evidence shows that cloth masks do not have the same protective characteristics as surgical masks, indicating an increased risk of infection due to humidity, diffusion of fluids, virus retention, and improper preparation. Considering the shortage of surgical masks during the pandemic, cloth masks could be proposed as a last resort.
Conclusion:
cloth masks should be used together with preventive measures, such as home insulation, good respiratory conduct, and regular hand hygiene.
