Objectives:
to estimate the prevalence of depressive levels and their associated factors among transvestite and transsexual individuals.
Methods:
this cross-sectional study involved 58 participants assisted by non-governmental organizations. The Beck Depression Inventory was utilized to assess levels of depression, complemented by a sociodemographic questionnaire and a questionnaire on experiences of violence. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Poisson regression with robust variance.
Results:
a prevalence of 27.6% (95% CI = 11.50-39.10) for moderate to severe levels of depression was observed. This prevalence was associated with being unmarried (PR = 1.19; 95% CI = 1.10-1.28) and experiencing violence in healthcare services (PR = 2.30; 95% CI = 1.10-4.81).
Conclusions:
the absence of a partner and experiences of violence in healthcare settings negatively impacted mental health, leading to an increased prevalence of depressive symptoms among transvestite and transsexual individuals. Advocating for transgender rights and providing ongoing education in health care for professionals are critical strategies in promoting the mental health of this population.

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.

Objective:
to perform a situational diagnosis of the behavior of health professionals concerning hand hygiene practices in highly-complex sectors.
Methods:
this quantitative and retrospective study was based on reports (2016 and 2017) of Adult and Pediatric ICUs of a Federal hospital in Rio de Janeiro.
Results:
one thousand two hundred fifty-eight opportunities for hand hygiene were analysed. The chance of professionals sanitizing hands in Pediatric ICUs is 41.61% higher than in Adult ICUs. Concerning proper hand hygiene, the medical team had a 39.44% lower chance than the nursing team. Others had a 30.62% lower chance when compared to the nursing team. The moment “after contact with the patient” presented 4.5275 times the chance in relation “before contact with the patient”.

We observed the prevalence of functional dependency in 93.5%, and the mild dependency stood out in 40.7%. Medium social support was the most found, with 48.2%. The predominant dimensions of social support were the material dimension, followed by the emotional. There was a significant association (p ≤ 0.05) between very serious dependency and high social support.
Conclusion:
The results found allow us to reflect on the need for involvement of health professionals in strengthening the social support of patients with disabling diseases, such as the cerebrovascular accident.

Objective:
To analyze the practice of nurses in home care, considering the mediation of care by reflexivity.
Method:
Unique, qualitative case study, anchored in the dialectical framework. The participants were 13 nurses who work in home care in Minas Gerais. Data were obtained by participant observation and interview, and submitted to critical discourse analysis.
Results:
Nursing care at home involves the repetitions of everyday actions and a degree of unpredictability. Reflexivity, according to Schön’s theoretical framework, emerges as a component of professional practice that leads to the practice of care as a continuous assessment of work, and also to reflection on the challenges imposed by conflicting situations. Reflexivity also stems from professionals’ search for improvements in their practices.
Final considerations:
We identified the presence of actions and knowledge mobilized by the reflexivity of the nurse in the home care setting. The following were the elements of this reflexive practice: knowing-in-action, reflection-in-action and reflection reflection-in-action.
