Objective:
to understand, from grandmothers’ perspectives, the experience of having a grandchild with cancer.
Method:
qualitative study, guided by philosophical hermeneutics. Eight grandmothers of children who had finished an oncology treatment participated in this study. Data were collected through interviews, which were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed according to the principles of hermeneutics.
Results:
the grandmothers underwent an experience of multiplied, silent, transformative, and permanent suffering. They believe it is their role to be present, but they recognize their adult children’s independence and self-determination. Grandmothers highlighted that their experience has been very little accessed and considered by health care professionals.
Conclusion:
we recommend including grandparents in the context of care and in additional research.

Method:
descriptive, exploratory study with quantitative analysis. Data were analyzed using the software R. Core Team
Results:
of the 96 healthcare professionals who participated in the study, 42 nursing aides/technicians responded, along with 22 nurses, 20 physicians and 2 physical therapists. The results showed that 40.5% of the nursing aides/technicians, 50% of the physicians and 50% of the physical therapists confirmed that they coordinate/perform/assist in the care of babies’ pain while performing procedures (lumbar puncture, chest tube insertion and central line). There was a significant difference of agreement in relation to the nursing aides/technicians and physicians. Most (69.8%) of the healthcare professionals knew of some non-pharmacological measure effective for relief of acute pain.
Conclusion:
there is a need for an educational intervention program, with participation of those involved, in the process to change professional practice.

Objective:
to characterize the moments when there is a need for hand hygiene (HH) by employees who work in Material and Sterilization Center (MSC).
Method:
we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study in the MSC of a large hospital, from July to November 2012, in Goiânia, state of Goiás, Brazil. Data obtained through observation of workers, following a previously evaluated and tested checklist.
Results:
to the dirty area, standardized moments of HH were enough. In the clean area, “Extra moments with indication” for HH, resulting from the work process, such as: after disinfecting benches, after verification and inventory of consigned products, before assembling boxes/trays, before loading and unloading the autoclave, before handling and distributing health care products, among others, were necessary.
Conclusion:
the moments of HH in the dirty area coincide with indications of the clinical practice; and, in the clean area, characteristic moments of the work process were captured.

Objective:
to present the theoretical model that represents the experience of care in transitional homes of support to families of children in a period of post-transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells.
Method:
grounded theory, performed with 18 participants from three different samples. For analysis, we used the QSR Nvivo10 software.
Results:
we elaborated four categories: living in the transitional support home; experiencing care of children in post-transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells; taking care of the family caregiver; and returning to a new life at home, which interrelate according to the theoretical code of the interactive family.
Conclusion:
this research contributes to understanding the experience of care in transitional support homes of families with children in post-transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells and subsidizes nursing and health actions provided to this population; it also contributes to the development of a hospital discharge guidance and care directed to this clientele.

Objective:
to describe the social representation of nurses on tuberculosis and identify the implications on nursing care.
Method:
qualitative research with the participation of 52 nurses from 23 Basic Health Units of Belém, Pará. A semi-structured interview was conducted with subsequent analysis of the thematic content according to the Theory of Social Representations.
Results:
the social representations of tuberculosis were organized into two categories: infection, evidencing the clinical-epidemiological aspects of the disease, and stigma and prejudice, representing the social aspect. Care is affected by fear – a fact that explains the distance adopted by some nurses when handling ill people.
Conclusion:
the social representations of nurses on tuberculosis remain grounded in fear, leading professionals to keep a certain distance from patients and generating stigma and prejudice, which may affect adherence to treatment.

Objective:
compare the quality of different types of health care for children and adolescents with HIV, in the experience of family members and caregivers.
Method:
a cross-sectional study was conducted with 71 family members and caregivers, using the children’s version of the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool-Brazil). The Mann-Whitney or Student’s t-test and Pearson’s chi-square or Fisher’s exact test were used for the analysis.
Results:
primary care services and, predominantly, specialized HIV services, were identified as the regular health care sources. There were no significant differences in quality, since their scores were close to the ideal level.
Conclusion:
the attributes of these services need to be improved, which would entail reformulating their structural and performance aspects. In addition, it is imperative to recognize primary health care as an integral place for promoting the health of children and adolescents with HIV.

Objective:
to analyze the discourses about the care provided by nurses operating in Specialized HIV/Aids Outpatient Services in four public institutions of the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil.
Method:
descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach, which used as a method the discourse analysis.
Results:
when titling the “care as negative”, such title came from the analogy proposed by Freud (1912) with the photographic negative, represented by what that care can configure from the unconscious movement, since nurses did not perceive themselves in the care actions developed by supporting the work of other occupational categories, contributing to maintain the ideology of biomedicine.
Conclusion:
it is necessary to justify and theorize a nursing clinical practice from epistemological issues of the profession, in such a way that nurses can understand their relevance within the care provided.

Objectives:
to correlate the development of Burnout Syndrome in higher education professors with the following variables: sociodemographic, economic, work, sleep pattern, level of anxiety and quality of life.
Methods:
observational, analytical, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Data collection took place from August to November 2022, with 140 professors from a private higher education institution in the Western Brazilian Amazon.
Results:
professors who carried out activities outside institutional hours and who had sleep duration < 5 hours, presented lower scores in the personal fulfillment dimension of burnout, with (p=0.002) and (p=0.001), respectively. The higher the scores for the physical (p=0.001), psychological (p=0.000) and social relationships (p=0.002) domains of quality of life, the lower the personal fulfillment scores for the syndrome.
Conclusions:
through linear regression, it was evidenced that several variables explain the development of burnout. Institutional and governmental actions can minimize the negative influence of these variables.

Results:
the themes were grouped into four categories related to the components of the theory and into 13 subcategories.
Conclusion:
the meaning of learning can be extended by the teacher’s didactics and corroborated by the relationship between systematization and reasoning. To learn by doing, some prerequisites are required as is a process of motivation and qualification, which are also inherent to learning by forming an identity in the group. In the feeling of belonging to a particular group, aspects related to the profession become visible as opposed to the aspects of belonging to a community of practice of learning.
