Objective:
to learn the meanings attributed to pregnancy loss by women with Lupus.
Method:
qualitative research, based on Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory. Data collection took place between January and August 2022 through in-depth interviews. Data analysis went through the stages of initial and focused coding.
Results:
seventeen women participated. The central phenomenon “The climb to motherhood: falls and overcoming” was constructed, consisting of three categories: “Falling to the ground during the climb: the experience of pregnancy loss”; “Getting up and following the path: new attempts to conceive”; and “Remembering the journey: meanings attributed to pregnancy losses”.
Final considerations:
experiencing pregnancy is, analogously, like climbing a mountain, where obstacles need to be overcome to reach the summit. The experience of pregnancy loss is seen as complex, especially when there is fragility in healthcare and a lack of awareness regarding feelings of loss and grief.

Objectives:
to evaluate the risk of postoperative complications in cardiac patients.
Methods:
an evaluative study using the Tuman Score on medical records of 70 adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery at a University Hospital. The R for Windows software was used for the analyses. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were employed to verify the association between the risk score and complications. The relative risk between the Tuman Score and postoperative complications was obtained through Quasi-Poisson regression, with a 95% confidence interval.
Results:
the majority of the patients were male (58.57%), aged between 41-64 years (50%), who underwent myocardial revascularization (50%). These patients were associated with a lower risk of postoperative complications (p=0.003), (p=0.008), and (p=0.000), respectively. High-risk patients had pulmonary complications (RR=1.32, p=0.002) and neurological complications (RR=1.20, p=0.047).
Conclusions:
preoperative risk assessment promotes qualified care to reduce postoperative complications.

Results:
the descriptions and photographs of the crime scene were both distressing and impactful for the researchers. The mementos of the victims (including clothing, objects, and childhood photos) shown by their families were deeply moving. Identifying with these experiences facilitated listening to the stories told by the relatives. It was essential to maintain a non-judgmental attitude, acknowledge the loss, provide support for the suffering, and demonstrate a willingness to help.
Final Considerations:
the experience encompassed both theoretical and methodological aspects that were planned and executed in data collection, fostering the development of skills and sensitivity towards the cases. Beyond knowledge and preparation, researchers are expected to exhibit ethical conduct and empathetic capacity.
