Objectives:
to map Brazilian undergraduate nursing students’ critical thinking level and investigate the correlation between selected sociodemographic data and critical thinking domains.
Methods:
in this descriptive cross-sectional study, participants’ (N=89) critical thinking was assessed using the Health Science Reasoning Test. Correlation between critical thinking domains and sociodemographic data was assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results:
the overall results showed a moderate level of participants’ critical thinking (mean = 70.7; standard deviation 5.7). A poor performance was identified in 5 of the 8 critical thinking domains. A significant positive correlation was found between education period and critical thinking (p<.001).
Conclusions:
poor level in students critical thinking domains may lead to negative consequences for their learning outcomes. Further studies should be carried out to confirm our results, in addition to investigation of teaching methods that encourage and ensure the development of students’ critical thinking skills during nursing education.

Objetivos:
mapear el nivel de pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes brasileños de pregrado en enfermería e investigar la correlación entre los datos sociodemográficos seleccionados y los dominios del pensamiento crítico.
Métodos:
en este estudio transversal descriptivo, el pensamiento crítico de los participantes (N=89) fue evaluada mediante el Health Science Reasoning Test. La correlación entre los dominios de pensamiento crítico y los datos sociodemográficos se evaluó mediante el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson.
Resultados:
los resultados generales mostraron un nivel moderado de pensamiento crítico de los participantes (media=70,7; desviación estándar 5,7). Se identificó un desempeño deficiente en 5 de los 8 dominios del pensamiento crítico. Se encontró una correlación positiva significativa entre educación y pensamiento crítico (p<0,001).
Conclusiones:
los bajos niveles de los dominios del pensamiento crítico en los estudiantes pueden tener consecuencias negativas para sus resultados de aprendizaje. Se deben realizar más estudios para confirmar nuestros resultados, además de la investigación de métodos de enseñanza que fomenten y aseguren el desarrollo de habilidades de pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes durante su formación en enfermería.

Results:
Reduced handgrip strength was not a predictor of inaptitude for vehicular driving (p=0.649). The predictors of inaptitude were: low education (p=0.011), incomplete elementary education (p=0.027), and cognition (p=0.020).
Conclusion:
reduced handgrip strength was not shown to predict for loss of driving skills in older adults. Low education level and reduced cognition level are conditions that were shown to be predictors for loss of vehicular driving license.

Objectives:
to develop and evaluate the convergence of the instrument for the appearance validity of educational technologies in health.
Methods:
methodological study conducted in two steps. In step 1, the instrument items were developed, with subsequent content validity by nine specialists in the development of educational technologies in health. In step 2, the convergent validity between another instrument and the appearance instrument was performed. Correlation results above r> 0.3 and p <0.05 were considered as plausible convergent validity.
Results:
the ten items of the initial version of the appearance instrument were submitted to content validity that resulted in a final version with 12 items (Content Validity Index = 0.93). The correlation indexes were strong with the objective and appearance domains; moderate with motivation, organization and total; and weak with writing style.
Conclusions:
the appearance instrument demonstrated content validity and convergent validity, in addition to a strong correlation with the other instrument.

Methods:
Theoretical-reflection study.
Results:
At the first moment named “The global and the local in facing the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic” is presented the health crisis that took place worldwide and the government actions to combat COVID-19. A second moment named “Between dismantling actions and resistance, the UHS is the best way to face the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic”, reflects on the neoliberal attacks on the health system and how it resists, remaining the main pandemic response strategy.
Conclusion:
The strengthening of democracy and the defense of the UHS are the way out of the crisis. It is believed that this reflection generates – in everyone who deals with caretaking – the political action, the ethical attitude, the desire for valorization and the spirit of struggle in defense of the UHS and human life.

Objective:
To analyze information on resource allocation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, published in indexed scientific journals, from December 2019 to March 2020.
Methods:
This is an integrative literature review, which took place in March 2020. All databases were investigated and studies were found only in MEDLINE. After applying the established criteria, six articles were selected.
Results:
It was evident that the allocation of resources is carried out as the demands emerge. The fragility in presenting scientific-methodological evidence that can guide decision makers for assertive allocation of available resources is highlighted. The results showed that studies on this subject are incipient and need to be expanded.
Final considerations:
The need for health organizations and area authorities to be better prepared for the proper use of available resources, with allocation based on scientific evidence and maximization of resources is indicated.
