Objectives:
to integrate evidence from studies on auditory perceptual and speech production effects in communication situations with face mask use.
Methods:
an integrative literature review, in MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Embase databases. The guiding question was: what effects on communication (perceptual-auditory and speech production) occur with face mask use?
Results:
searches in electronic databases resulted in 1,478 studies and filtering resulted in 29 final studies.
Conclusions:
mask use has effects on communication, both in perception and speech production, factors that are also related to quality of life, stress and socio-emotional factors. These data can impact on indicators and alerts in favor of adopting strategies to manage mask use, involving speech production and perception when wearing a mask in health services.

Methods:
An analytical document-based study, developed between February 2020 and May 2022, whose secondary data on the 27 Brazilian capitals were collected on platforms in the public domain, based on the time series from 2015 to 2020. Indicators were listed based on health system infrastructure and quality of life. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation test and Student’s t test were used.
Results:
The capitals that expanded the number of CAPS in the analyzed period were the ones that presented the greatest political-legal framework for the protection of human rights.

Objective:
To identify the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases: arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and associated risk factors in long-lived elderly people from three Brazilian regions.
Methods:
This is a multicenter, cross-sectional, and comparative study conducted with elderly people aged 80 years or older.
Results:
Higher prevalence of arterial hypertension were observed among those who use polypharmacy (75.7%), among elderly people aged between 80 and 84 years (33.9%), as well as in elderly people who are overweight (78.2%). The prevalence of diabetes was 24% (RP: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.59-0.98) lower among women compared to men and 2.15 times higher among those who use five or more medications (RP: 2.15; 95% CI: 1.63-2.85).
Conclusions:
In our sample, polypharmacy, body weight, and gender determine the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases: arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus in long-lived elderly people.

Objetivo:
Determinar el nivel de autocompasión e investigar las relaciones entre las variables sociodemográficas y la autocompasión entre estudiantes de pregrado de enfermería en una universidad estatal de Indonesia durante la pandemia de COVID-19
Métodos:
Este estudio utilizó un diseño transversal. Las muestras se seleccionaron mediante una técnica de muestreo aleatorio estratificado proporcional (n=260). Los datos se recopilaron utilizando una versión indonesia de la Escala de Autocompasión, que consta de 6 subescalas: bondad propia, autocrítica, humanidad común, aislamiento, atención plena y sobre identificación. Los datos se analizaron mediante análisis univariado y bivariado.
Resultados:
El 60% de los estudiantes tenían autocompasión moderada. Los estudiantes puntuaron más alto en amabilidad consigo mismos (3,93±1,02) y sobre identificación (3,58±0,94), lo que indica que a menudo intentaban amarse a sí mismos cuando sentían dolor emocional y a menudo se dejaban llevar cuando sucedió algo perturbador. Posteriormente, se encontró una correlación significativa entre la edad y la autocompasión (p<0,05).
Conclusión:
La autocompasión entre los estudiantes de enfermería debe mejorarse por medio de intervenciones como la alfabetización de la compasión, el entrenamiento en atención plena y las técnicas experienciales basadas en la compasión.

Objective:
To determine the level of self-compassion and investigate the relationships between sociodemographic variables and self-compassion among undergraduate nursing students at a state university in Indonesia during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Methods:
This study used a cross-sectional design. Samples were selected using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique (n=260). Data were collected using an Indonesian version of the Self-compassion Scale, which consists of 6 subscales: self-kindness, self-judgment, common humanity, isolation, mindfulness, and overidentification. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis.
Results:
60% of students had moderate self-compassion. Students scored the highest in self-kindness (3,93±1,02) and over-identification (3,58±0,94), indicating that they often tried to love themselves when they felt emotional pain and often get carried away when something upsetting happened. Subsequently, a significant correlation was found between age and self-compassion (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
Self-compassion among nursing students should be improved through interventions such as compassion literacy, mindfulness training, and compassion-based experiential techniques.

Objective:
to analyze the association between burnout and sociodemographic, work factors, lifestyle habits and health conditions of military police officers in a municipality in the state of Paraná, Brazil.
Method:
cross-sectional research with 131 military police officers. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software and the R program. Chi-square, Fisher’s exact and Poisson Generalized Linear Model tests were used.
Results:
most participants (65.6%) had a high level of burnout. In relation to protective factors, those who carried out leisure activities had a 33.6% chance of not developing burnout. Conjugality was also a protective factor. Not practicing physical activity and leisure activities are factors that can contribute to the occurrence of burnout.
Conclusions:
important factors and high rates of burnout were observed in the police officers investigated. It is necessary to implement public health policies to reduce burnout with attention focused on this professional category.

Results:
In the first and second rounds, 75 and 71 judges validated the risk classification instrument, respectively. The minimum adherence score for the latent variable item based on the final number of judges was 0.22 and 0.18; thus, 52 items, divided into three classification categories (red, orange, and yellow), were retained.
Conclusion:
The instrument was considered valid regarding clarity, relevance, pertinence, and agreement regarding the severity indicated in the item.

the physical space, the availability, validity and the performance of FT in prenatal were analyzed. The data were presented in simple frequency tables. It was identified adequate space in 79.2% of the units, availability of FT in 62.5%, performing the tests in 37.5%, and of these, 55.6% doing these procedures in routine prenatal care.
Conclusion:
the primary units have difficulties in implementing FT in syphilis and HIV in the prenatal routine. This activity is seen as an effective strategy to reduce vertical transmission of these infections.
