Objetivos:
evaluar los factores de riesgo del exceso de volumen de líquido en pacientes en hemodiálisis.
Métodos:
estudio retrospectivo de casos y controles. Se incluyeron 392 pacientes (196 casos y 196 controles) de dos centros de hemodiálisis. Se evaluaron datos sociodemográficos y 23 factores de riesgo de exceso de volumen de líquido mediante un formulario de recolección de datos. Los datos se analizaron mediante un modelo de regresión logística multivariado.
Resultados:
factores de riesgo conocimiento insuficiente (OR=2,06), ingesta excesiva de líquidos (OR=2,33), retirada inadecuada de líquidos durante la hemodiálisis (OR=2,62) e ingesta excesiva de sodio (OR=1,91) pueden aumentar aproximadamente dos veces la posibilidad de que se produzca un exceso de volumen de líquido en pacientes en hemodiálisis. La educación (OR=0,95) y la edad (OR=0,97) son factores protectores del volumen excesivo de líquido.
Conclusiones:
conocer estos factores de riesgo puede ayudar a las enfermeras a realizar una inferencia diagnóstica precisa y rápida del riesgo de volumen excesivo de líquidos.

Objectives:
to assess risk factors for excess fluid volume in hemodialysis patients.
Methods:
a retrospective case-control study was conducted. A total of 392 patients (196 cases and 196 controls) from two hemodialysis centers were included. Sociodemographic data and 23 risk factors for excess fluid volume were assessed using a data collection form. Data were analyzed using a multivariate logistic regression model.
Results:
the insufficient knowledge (OR=2.06), excessive fluid intake (OR=2.33), inadequate fluid removal during hemodialysis (OR=2.62) and excessive sodium intake (OR=1.91) risk factors may increase the chance of occurrence of excess fluid volume in hemodialysis patients by approximately two times. Education level (OR=0.95) and age (OR=0.97) are protective factors for excessive fluid volume.
Conclusions:
knowing these risk factors may help nurses with accurate and rapid diagnostic inference of the risk of excessive fluid volume.

Objective:
To estimate the prevalence of multimorbidity in elderly people and its association with sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, and anthropometry.
Methods:
This was a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health Survey, 2019. A total of 22,728 elderly individuals from all 27 Brazilian states were randomly selected. Poisson regression models with robust variance were employed, and a significance level of 5% was adopted.
Results:
The prevalence of multimorbidity was 51.6% (95% CI: 50.4-52.7), with the highest estimates observed in the South and Southeast. Multimorbidity was associated with being female (aPR = 1.33; 95% CI: 1.27-1.39), being 80 years old or older (aPR = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.05-1.19), having low education (aPR = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.07-1.25), past cigarette use (aPR = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.11-1.21), insufficient physical activity (aPR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.06-1.21), and screen use for 3 hours or more per day (aPR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.08-1.18).
Conclusion:
Multimorbidity affects more than half of the elderly population in Brazil and is associated with social, demographic, and behavioral factors.

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 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.

Objective:
To discuss the fundamental aspects in the establishment of preventive measures to tackle covid-19 among indigenous people in view of the motivations for seeking health care in villages of the Terra Indígena Buriti, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.
Methods:
Theoretical-reflective study based on assumptions of the National Health System and previous ethnographic research that enabled the identification of the motivations to seek health care in Buriti villages.
Results:
Indigenous people seek health centers for health care programs assistance, treatment of cases they cannot resolve and to chat. Such motivations were the basis for discussing the indigenization process in the confrontation of the new coronavirus pandemic in indigenous lands.
Final considerations:
The motivations for seeking health care show the physical and social vulnerability of the Terena ethnicity. The effectiveness of the social isolation measure in the villages depends on the dialogue with indigenous leaders, professional engagement and intersectoral actions.
