Objective:
to investigate the prevalence of Minor Psychiatric Disorders and associated factors in nursing workers.
Method:
observational and analytical sectional study. Data were collected from 285 nursing workers. A questionnaire containing sociodemographic, occupational, psychosocial aspects of work and mental health was used. Bivariate and multivariate analysis were performed by binary logistic regression.
Results:
the global prevalence of suspected Minor Psychiatric Disorders among nursing workers was 32.6%. Higher prevalence rates were found among female, young, married/common-law married individuals, in the nursing assistant/technician categories, with income up to four minimum wages, developing high-demand work with low social support, high effort-reward imbalance, and over-commitment.
Conclusion:
the variables that remained associated with the mental health outcome in the final model were: female gender, married/common-law married, high-demand work, high effort-reward imbalance, and over-commitment.

Objective:
to describe the contribution of the concept of transference to the application of the nursing process in the care of patients with psychical suffering.
Method:
Theoretical study, structured from the following question: Is it possible to develop the nursing process in the care of patients with psychical suffering by using transference?
Result:
The patient is considered as a subject of the unconscious and has a demand he/she is unaware of.
Discussion:
The transference guides the nursing process and favors the elaboration of what has no meaning in the symptom.
Final considerations:
As an implication for practice, the nursing process will articulate the transference function through the nursing diagnosis, which will promote the capture of subsidies for the planning and implementation of care, in which the purpose will be the symbolization of the symptom. To highlight speech as a means to therapeutic relation will offer the patients the condition to dictate the pace of articulation between their signifiers, which will dynamically temporalize the process.

Objective:
To know the experience of nurses of the Psychosocial Care Networks on the development of Nursing Appointment in Mental Health.
Method:
Qualitative study, with interview of 20 nurses, through the analysis of the statements in the search of the meaning core.
Results:
was unveiled as meaning core: lack of preparation for Mental Health Care, Non-identification of the work of the nurse in Mental Health; and Performance of Nursing Appointment as bureaucratic fulfillment.
Final considerations:
Nurses understand Nursing Appointment as an individualized and bureaucratic activity, to consider professional regulations, and not as a work process in the multiprofessional work, thus, the Projeto Terapêutico Singular (freely translated as Unique Therapeutic Project) is not cited as a possibility of work process. It was identified necessary space for discussion of actuation and updates of the nurse in Mental Health Care in the health services studied, with emphasis on their performance in a multiprofessional team in consonance with the Mental Health Policy.

Objective:
to understand the family’s experience of losing a family member by suicide.
Method:
study with qualitative approach with reference of the Constructivist Grounded Theory. The theoretical sample consisted of 20 participants, among health professionals and family members of people who committed suicide. Data were collected through intensive and coded interviews from initial and focused coding.
Results:
three categories were obtained: Being in a “state of shock”; Living with the suffering and effects of the loss of the family member; and, Rebuilding life. From the articulation of these categories emerged the phenomenon: “Experiencing the loss of a family member by suicide: from mourning to the quest for overcoming”.
Final considerations:
each category represents a stage in the family’s experience of losing a family member by suicide. The results provide support for suicide prevention and postvention actions developed by health professionals.

Objective:
To assess the relationship of post-traumatic stress symptoms and the perception of social support in women submitted to Severe Maternal Morbidity (SMM).
Method:
A prospective cohort study, with 549 women from public hospitals. The Impact of Events and Social Support scales were used.
Results:
Women with SMM were from the State countryside (p=0.046), with low schooling (p=0.039) and did not work (p<0.001). They presented higher consumption of alcoholic beverages (p<0.001), did not perform prenatal (p<0.001), and were older (28.15 ± 28 years). Women with SMM had higher mean values of avoidance behavior (24.32, SD: 4.16), intrusive thinking (18.28, SD: 3.80), lower social support (0.11, SD: 0.001) with large effect size and lower social support satisfaction (0.69; SD: 0.19), with small effect size.
Conclusion:
SMM is a differential and negative factor for women’s mental health, and social support can favor their coping.

Objective:
Analyze how professionals understood the multi, inter and transprofessionality and how these practices happened in the CAPS (Psychossocial Care Centers) of São Paulo/SP.
Method:
Qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study, and use of Content Analysis. We interviewed 27 professionals from nine CAPS.
Results:
Organized in two categories: definition of multiprofessional, interprofessional and transprofessional work in Mental Health; and specific aspects of professions and Conceptions about multi, inter and transprofessional teamwork in daily life. There were difficulties in conceptualizing modalities of disciplinary integration, little problematization in the reality of workers, and questions of specific practices of each area. The devices have been problematized, in which the distancing of Public Policies happen.
Final considerations:
There is coexistence of the biomedical, of insane asylum and Psychosocial Care paradigms in the discourses and actions of the teams, to compromise the effectiveness of the Psychiatric Reform. The practice was close to the ideas of integration and of auxiliary interdisciplinarity and not of the effective construction of shared therapeutic knowledge and projects.

Objective:
to correlate socio-contextual aspects, physical vulnerability and quality of life of older persons in the community in different situations of family care.
Methods:
epidemiological, a cross-sectional and analytical study, with elderly people in the community (n=769), with application of the instruments: Vulnerable Elders Survey-13 (VES-13), World Health Organization Quality of Life for Older Persons (WHOQOL-OLD) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF); and socio-contextual data questionnaire.
Results:
the population assessed presented an average of regular quality of life in both the WHOQOL-BREF and the WHOQOL-OLD. Older non-vulnerable persons (62.2%) and those with close family contact (82.6%) have a better quality of life than the vulnerable (p<0.0001).
Conclusion:
lower quality of life scores and more distant families are related to vulnerable elderly people; thus, the assessment of family proximity and physical vulnerability of older persons is shown to be an important factor in improving quality of life.

Objective:
To investigate the independent and combined effects of lifestyle behaviors, including physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep duration and food intake, in the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Brazilian adolescents.
Methods:
Cross-sectional school-based study, with the participation of 306 adolescents aged 14 to 18 years. A questionnaire was applied with structured questions to collect lifestyle behaviors data. Perception of the HRQoL was identified using the Kidscreen-27. The study used covariance analysis and linear regression models for statistical analysis.
Results:
Adolescents who reported ≤ 2 hours/day of screen-based sedentary behavior and sleep duration equivalent to 8-10 hours/night presented significantly higher HRQoL. Adolescents who reported joint adherence ≥ 3 healthy lifestyle behaviors demonstrated approximately two [OR=2.12] to three times [OR=3.04] more chance of presenting higher perceptions of HRQoL.
Conclusion:
Although healthy lifestyle behaviors had a positive independent effect on HRQoL, joint adherence to healthy behaviors enhances the cumulative effect.

Objective:
to analyze the social representation of spiritual surgeries in Umbanda for Bantu-Amerindian ritual mediums and their contributions to the cross-cultural care proposed by Madeleine Leininger.
Methods:
a descriptive-exploratory, qualitative study, supported by the procedural approach of Social Representation Theory and Transcultural Nursing Theory, carried out with 30 Umbanda mediums of the Bantu-Amerindian ritual through interviews, submitted to the Iramuteq software for lexical analysis.
Results:
mostly women, white, with an average of 46 years old and approximately 14 years of practice in Umbanda participated. The social representation of spiritual surgeries in Umbanda is objectified and anchored through a biomedical vision of care, encompassing a set of beliefs, values and practices as religious treatments, through faith, whose main objective is healing.
Final considerations:
spiritual surgeries are a form of transcultural care, according to Madeleine Leininger’s propositions, as they integrate the culture of a group through health care in Umbanda.

Methods:
this is a discourse analysis based on the post-structuralist framework. Participants in this study are professionals involved in the care for older adults, totaling 14 respondents, 13 women and one man.
Results:
from professionals’ perspective, there is a fine line between caring for older adults with disabilities and maintaining their autonomy. Care in which autonomy is restricted predisposes older adults to a process of dependency.
Final considerations:
caring for older adults with disabilities constitutes the challenge between caring and maintaining independence. Thus, older adult-centered care should be taken as a premise so that their individualities are respected.

Methods:
Ecological study with variables extracted from databases, having the incidence and mortality by COVID-19 until August 23, 2020, in Brazilian states, as response variables. The magnitude of the associations was estimated using Spearman’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis.
Results:
In the Brazilian states, 59.8% of variation in the incidence of COVID-19 was justified by income inequality, significant home densification, and higher mortality. In the case of mortality, those same variables explained 57.9% of the country’s variations in federal units.
Conclusion:
Our results indicate that socioeconomic factors influenced the evolution and impact of COVID-19 in Brazil. Thus, we suggest comprehensive actions to ensure economic conditions and strengthening of health networks for populations with socioeconomic vulnerability.

Objectives:
to analyze the scientific evidence on the strategies of active learning methodologies used in the training of nurses, as well as their contributions and obstacles in training.
Methods:
integrative literature review conducted with 33 selected articles in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Nursing Database, Scopus, Web of Science and Education Resources Information Center databases.
Results:
among the strategies, simulation, problem-based learning and flipped classroom were highlighted. The active search, the integration of theory and practice and group work were examples of contributions to the training of nurses. However, the lack of preparation of the actors and the lack of structural support contribute to the dissatisfaction of the students.
Final Considerations:
the active learning methodology places the student at the heart of the learning process, favors critical thinking and the ability to make decisions.
