Objetivos:
evaluar nivel de ansiedad de enfermeros de un servicio de urgencia frente al nuevo coronavirus y describir la relación entre niveles de ansiedad y variables sociodemográficas.
Métodos:
estudio cuantitativo descriptivo-correlacional con una muestra de 60 enfermeros. Recorrido a la aplicación de una encuesta como instrumento de recolecta de datos basándose en la Escala de Evaluación de Ansiedad de Hamilton.
Resultados:
el escore mediano de ansiedad de los enfermeros es leve. Verificado que hay una relación estadísticamente significante entre la ansiedad y la variable “sexo” e “hijos”, con mujeres presentando niveles de ansiedad superiores a los hombres y los enfermeros sin hijos presentando niveles de ansiedad leve, moderada o severa.
Conclusiones:
la COVID-19 desencadena ansiedad en los enfermeros, por veces a niveles patológicos; y ser del sexo femenino y no tener hijos la aumenta. Es posible afirmar que el sexo fue el factor determinante para el nivel de ansiedad experimentado.

Objectives:
to assess the level of anxiety of nurses in an emergency room in view of the new Coronavirus and describe the relationship between the degrees of anxiety and their sociodemographic variables.
Methods:
quantitative descriptive-correlational study with a sample of 60 nurses. A questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument based on the Hamilton Anxiety Assessment Scale.
Results:
the nurses’ average anxiety is mild. A statistically significant relationship was found between anxiety and the variables “sex” and “children”, with women having higher levels of anxiety than men, and nurses who do not have children showing mild, moderate, or severe anxiety.
Conclusions:
COVID-19 triggers anxiety in nurses, sometimes at pathological levels. Being female and not having children increase the anxiety experienced. Sex can be considered the determining factor for the level of anxiety experienced.

Objectives:
to develop and validate an algorithm to guide professionals in cleaning and disinfecting ambulances after transferring patients with contagious infectious diseases.
Methods:
the study was conducted between September and November 2021. The developed algorithm was validated by 104 judges, including nurses, physical therapists, and physicians who care for patients with contagious infectious diseases. It used the Delphi technique and content validity index.
Results:
in the first evaluation, the judges considered the algorithm “unsuitable” and “fully suitable”. The algorithm reviewed according to the judges’ suggestions was rated between “suitable” and “fully suitable” in the second evaluation. The overall content validity index was 0.960 and 0.998 in the first and second evaluations.
Conclusions:
the algorithm to guide the cleaning and disinfection of ambulances after transferring patients with contagious infectious diseases was developed and validated by specialists in the field, with consensus among the judges in the second evaluation.

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.

Objectives:
to understand the meanings attributed by women to the diagnosis and treatment of syphilis and congenital syphilis, and to outpatient follow-up of their children.
Methods:
this is a qualitative study conducted with 30 mothers of children with congenital syphilis using audio-recorded semi-structured interviews, which were submitted to inductive thematic analysis. Symbolic interactionism was the theoretical framework considered in this study.
Results:
two themes were identified, showing the maternal diagnosis involved shock, guilt, and fear of social exclusion, in addition to frustration due to failure to prevent vertical transmission. Moreover, the painful clinical procedures for the child’s treatment enhanced maternal guilt, and the symbolic process of re-signification of the disease/treatment took place with the child’s healing.
Final Considerations:
understanding the intersubjective aspects involved in this experience helps nurses rethink their care practice and contributes to their critical role in the context of syphilis.

Methods:
qualitative research, whose data collection occurred through individual interviews with 19 nurses who worked on the front line of COVID-19 in health services in southeastern Brazil. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis.
Results:
work overload proved to be a powerful source of experiences of moral distress due to excessive working hours during vaccination, double working hours, a troubled relationship due to pressure from managers and the population and physical and mental exhaustion, which prevented nurses from act according to their judgment.
Final Considerations:
nurses’ work overload reflects on quality patient care and prevents nurses from acting in accordance with their moral principles, generating moral distress in nurses.

Objectives:
to carry out the cultural adaptation and evaluation of validity evidence of the Student Nurse Stressor-15 (SNS-15) Scale for use in Brazil.
Methods:
psychometric study, conducted from the stages of translation, synthesis, back-translation, review by a committee of seven experts, pre-test and evaluation of measurement properties with 32 and 238 nursing students, respectively.
