Objective:
To assess the quality of care transition from hospital to home for COVID-19 patients.
Method:
A cross-sectional study conducted at a University Hospital in Southern Brazil, involving 78 patients discharged after COVID-19 hospitalization. Data collection was performed via telephone using the Brazilian version of the Care Transitions Measure (CTM-15). Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics.
Results:
The mean quality of care transition was 70.8 on a scale ranging from zero to 100, indicating moderate quality of care transition. The highest score was attributed to factor 1, “Preparation for self-management,” and the lowest to factor 4, “Care Plan.”
Conclusions:
It is important to enhance communication and support provided to patients during the transition process, especially regarding understanding prescribed medications and the development of clear care plans.

Objetivos:
analizar los desenlaces clínicos en recién nacidos de mujeres embarazadas con COVID-19.
Métodos:
revisión integradora realizada en PubMed, Web of Knowledge, SCOPUS, CINHAL; se obtuvieron 2.111 estudios y 8 artículos conformaron la muestra final.
Resultados:
los desenlaces clínicos en neonatos de mujeres embarazadas positivas para COVID-19 se clasificaron según las siguientes categorías: a) contaminación por COVID-19, reportada en el 62,5% de los estudios; b) alta hospitalaria debido a mejoría, mencionada en el 37,5% de los artículos; c) fallecimiento, representando casos raros en el 25% de la muestra. La complicación gestacional más prevalente fue la prematuridad, mencionada en el 75% de los estudios. Esta complicación se observó debido a casos de rotura prematura de membranas y desprendimiento de placenta.
Conclusiones:
a pesar del conocimiento del comportamiento asintomático y levemente sintomático en los recién nacidos, es importante continuar la búsqueda de nuevos datos clínicos, ya que este público presenta reacciones inciertas a la infección por el SARS-CoV-2.

Methods:
integrative review conducted in PubMed, Web of Knowledge, SCOPUS, CINHAL; 2,111 studies were obtained, and 8 articles comprised the final sample.
Results:
clinical outcomes in neonates of pregnant women positive for COVID-19 were classified according to the following categories: a) contamination by COVID-19, reported in 62.5% of the studies; b) hospital discharge due to improvement, mentioned in 37.5% of the articles; c) death, representing rare cases in 25% of the sample. The most prevalent gestational complication was prematurity, mentioned in 75% of the studies. This complication has been observed due to cases of premature rupture of membranes and placental abruption.

Objective:
To analyze the leadership strategies of nurses in university hospitals in response to care management changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, informed by John Kotter’s insights.
Methods:
This multicentric study utilized qualitative and analytical methods. It was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 139 lead nurses from 10 university hospitals in Brazil. Data analysis included Bardin’s content analysis and the webQDA software.
Results:
The primary category identified was “Nursing Leadership Strategies in the Battle Against COVID-19,” encompassing five subcategories. This category underscored the importance of strategic vision in nursing leadership for combating COVID-19 within hospital settings, as well as the necessity of working collaboratively with their teams and other healthcare professionals.
Final Considerations:
The results highlight the strategies used by lead nurses in confronting COVID-19, which can be associated with John Kotter’s theoretical framework and his model of change.

Objective:
To comprehend the multiprofessional actions regarding palliative care for patients in the Intensive Care Unit affected by SARS-CoV-2.
Methods:
A comprehensive qualitative study conducted with 31 professionals from the Intensive Care Units of a university hospital, based on the Theory of Peaceful End of Life.
Results:
The analysis of the discourse led to the identification of two categories: “Multidisciplinary actions to promote comfort at the end of life” and “Palliative care during the pandemic period and the promotion of emotional and spiritual comfort.”
Final Considerations:
It became evident that local administration needs to invest in measures that reduce barriers to the implementation of palliative care during times of crisis. Understanding the discourse highlighted that non-specialized professionals can provide basic palliative care appropriately, without diminishing the importance and necessity of the presence of palliative care specialists in various hospital areas.

Objective:
To analyze the uncertainties experienced by nursing professionals who contracted COVID-19.
Methods:
This qualitative research was conducted with 20 nursing professionals who fell ill from COVID-19. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews; the data were then organized using thematic analysis and discussed in the context of Merle Mishel’s Reconceptualized of Uncertainty in Illness Theory.
Results:
The antecedents of the disease had a strong influence on how nursing professionals who contracted COVID-19 perceived uncertainty. The media coverage of the increasing number of cases, the collapse of the healthcare system, and the high mortality rate contributed to associating the disease with fear and panic.
Final Considerations:
Viewing it from the perspective of the disease’s antecedents, the illness of a nursing professional from COVID-19 underscores that before being professionals, they are human beings just like anyone else, undergoing adversities and facing the possibilities associated with being ill.

Objectives:
to identify the factors that influenced the mental capacity to work of nursing technicians during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study, carried out at two reference hospitals in assisting the population during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 237 professionals from Intensive Care Units participated and answered a questionnaire. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess the correlation between mental capacity to work and variables related to risks of contamination, institutional support and health.
Results:
lack of COVID-19 tests, lack of knowledge of routine, absences in 2021 and mental illness contributed to worse mental capacity to work. Management embracement and physical capacity were considered protective factors.
Conclusions:
reduced work capacity in relation to mental demands can affect professional performance and quality of care, with implications for patients and health institutions.

Reflection on the limits and potentialities of a Brazilian method for the development of terminological subsets of ICNP®,(International Classification for Nursing Practice) based on the correlation between this method and international methods. This issue has been debated by the International Council of Nurses (ICN). Although the council propose a guideline for elaboration, they encourage and reinforce the use of various perspectives and processes in the development of subsets. Brazilian Nursing needs to propose a method and deepen reflections on the use of terminological subsets of ICNP® in the reality of the country. The development of subsets in Brazil is considered incipient and the proposed method needs to be used and deepened in order to spread the use of terminology through the application of subsets.
