Objective:
analyze the pertinence of calls made by obstetric users of the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU 192) of Botucatu-SP.
Method:
retrospective and analytical research. All records of prehospital obstetric care delivered by the SAMU 192 in 2012 were analyzed. To be considered responsive, calls should lead to referral to a reference obstetric hospital or be classified with the colors red, orange and yellow, according to risk criteria defined by the Ministry of Health.
Results:
considering the two outcomes evaluated: referral to a reference hospital and risk criteria defined by the Ministry of Health, 6.7% and 75.6% of the calls were not pertinent, respectively. There was no matching between outcomes, neither variation between primiparas and multiparas as regards the call pertinence.
Conclusion:
this study ratifies the need for implementing a risk classification protocol in obstetrics, and support managers in the organization, qualification and effective implementation of the Rede Cegonha.

Objective:
to know and analyze the experiences of women who developed an episode of Severe Maternal Morbidity.
Method:
this is a qualitative study, in which we interviewed 16 women admitted to a tertiary level hospital, as a result of this morbid state. We used content analysis in data processing.
Results:
two categories were identified: “Understanding maternal morbidity as a negative presence” and “Moving ahead: on constant alert”. The interviewees mentioned negative aspects, such as treatment difficulties and hospitalization, feelings of fear, concern for the fetus, frustration with the idealized pregnancy, trauma; and positive aspects, such as learning and the expression of the divine will in the experience of illness.
Conclusion:
effective care during the prenatal period, delivery and postpartum period should provide adequate support for the prevention and assistance in Severe Maternal Morbidity.

Objective:
to identify costs of dressings to prevent sacral pressure ulcers in an adult intensive care unit in Paraná, Brazil.
Methods:
secondary analysis study with 25 patients admitted between October 2013 and March 2014, using transparent polyurethane film (n=15) or hydrocolloid dressing (n=10) on the sacral region. The cost of each intervention was based on the unit amount used in each type of dressing, and its purchase price (transparent film = R$15.80, hydrocolloid dressing = R$68.00).
Results:
the mean cost/patient was R$23.17 for use of transparent film and R$190.40 for use of hydrocolloid dressing. The main reason for changing the dressing was detachment.
Conclusion:
the transparent film was the most economically advantageous alternative to prevent sacral pressure ulcers in critical care patients. However, additional studies should be carried out including assessment of the effectiveness of both dressings.

Objective:
examine the social representations of citizenship by inpatients receiving hospital care.
Method:
qualitative approach, using the Theory of Social Representations as a framework, with 31 inpatients in the internal medicine sector of a public university hospital. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, whose data were submitted to the Alceste program, with application of lexical analysis.
Results:
patients understand their rights, and citizenship in the care process is understood based on the right to health, to receive good care from a technical and human standpoint.
Conclusion:
being well treated as a person and the provision of technical-procedural care are rights of patients; the absence of one or the other implies, therefore, lack of respect for their citizenship.

Objective:
To identify in the literature and summarize the elements and characteristics of fatherhood involved during pregnancy.
Method:
Scoping review that used PRISMA-ScR guide to report this review. Searches were carried out in PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, LILACS and Scopus. Google search engines and public health agency websites assisted in searches of gray literature and Rayyan in screening studies.
Results:
A total of 406 articles were identified, of which 16 made up the final sample. Five elements make up an involved fatherhood: feeling like a father, being a provider and protector, being a partner and participant in pregnancy, participating in prenatal appointments and feeling prepared to take care of a baby.
Conclusion:
Fathers want to be involved in prenatal care, but feel excluded from this process. Public policies that encourage paternal involvement and healthcare professional training to better welcome and promote paternal involvement are of paramount importance.

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.

Objectives:
to describe Nurses’ perception of the Nursing Process and its relationship with leadership.
Methods:
action research conducted between September/2021 and April/2022 with nurses from a medium-sized hospital in southern Brazil. The data investigated, one of the stages of the method, was collected using the Focus Group technique and submitted to Strategic Focus Analysis.
Results:
three categories emerged from the organized and analyzed data, namely: Nursing Process: a tool that qualifies nursing care; Conditions that weaken the Nursing Process; and Strategies that enhance the Systematization of Nursing Care.
Final Considerations:
the perception of the Nursing Process and its relationship with leadership are not always understood as complementary themes. Although they recognize that the Nursing Process is sometimes imposed as normative, nurses do not perceive the importance of the role of the leader, who is considered a key player in conducting and boosting the Systematization of Nursing Care.

Objectives:
to understand how fake news has influenced adherence to Covid-19 immunization, from the perspective of health professionals.
Methods:
a qualitative, descriptive-exploratory study was conducted in Campo Grande – MS. Twenty nursing professionals working in vaccine rooms or managing immunobiologicals participated through semi-structured interviews. The interviews were audio-recorded, fully transcribed, and subjected to thematic content analysis.
Results:
two categories emerged in which the professionals highlighted an increase in vaccine hesitancy among the population, influenced by fake news and denialist actions, which negatively interfered with the population’s trust in vaccines and in the professionals administering them.
Final Considerations:
concerns about vaccine safety and denialist actions by authorities and media outlets can contribute to the phenomenon of non-vaccination. The valorization of science, the promotion of educational actions, and raising public awareness about immunization were presented as strategies to increase vaccine coverage

Objectives:
to identify mothers’ perceptions about caring for newborns in the home environment, from the perspective of complexity thinking.
Methods:
qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, carried out between November/2022 and February/2023. Data were collected through individual interviews with 21 mothers from southern Brazil who cared for newborns at home and analyzed using the thematic analysis technique.
Results:
the four thematic axes resulting from the data analysis: Living amidst order and disorder; embracing singularities; dealing with the certain and the uncertain; support network in the (re)organizing process demonstrate that the mother caring for a newborn in their home environment experiences a distinct and plural adaptive process, which must be welcomed and understood by health professionals who work within the family environment.
Final Considerations:
the care of newborns in a home environment, in the perception of mothers, requires differentiated attention and a formal or informal support network that considers the unique specificities of each woman/mother in the personal, family and social spheres. Therefore, in addition to the social support network, it is important to rethink home intervention approaches.

Objectives:
to understand health and education professionals’ perceptions regarding children’s learning difficulties in public schools.
Methods:
qualitative research, of the participatory action type, linked to Paulo Freire’s Research Itinerary. Forty-five professionals participated, through interviews and a Virtual Culture Circle. The analysis was developed through careful reading, reflection and interpretation of highlighted topics.
Results:
professionals discussed the (in)visibility of learning difficulties, strategies and resources in the educational sector and the search for solutions in the health sector. It was found that the production of complaints related to school learning is attributed predominantly as an individual problem of children or their family, exempting the educational institution from this process.
Final Considerations:
greater investment in professional training and development policies is urgently needed to facilitate coordination between sectors, with a view to overcoming outdated pedagogical and health models.

Objective:
to study anxiety and spirituality and the relationship between them in university students.
Method:
the State-Trait-Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Pinto and Pais-Ribeiro Spirituality Scales were used for data collection.
Results:
six hundred and sixty-nine students participated in the study, of whom 91.5% had moderate and high levels of trait anxiety and 92.9% of state anxiety; 93.8% had high spirituality scores. The multiple linear regression test showed a signifi cant relationship between anxiety and the presence of physical discomfort, unusual body movements, and the need for treatment. Furthermore, higher levels of anxiety were associated with the female gender, the lack of leisure activities, and low levels of optimism in the spirituality scale.
Conclusion:
it is important to develop strategies for coping with anxiety, which in turn can be oriented toward protective factors such as spirituality.
