Objectives:
to understand the experiences of indigenous women regarding the pregnancy-puerperal cycle.
Methods:
qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, carried out between May and August 2023 with 27 pregnant women from Indigenous Villages in Mato Grosso, Brazil, through open individual interviews. The data was analyzed using Reflexive thematic analysis.
Results:
data analysis resulted in the following themes: Cultivation of labor and birth in its natural and sacred path; Unique practices and beliefs associated with breastfeeding; Evolved or reductive thinking? The participants suggest inviolable practices and beliefs, which must be welcomed, respected and enhanced by indigenous health teams.
Final Considerations:
the experiences of indigenous women regarding the pregnancy-puerperal cycle are unique and motivated by inviolable cultural and religious beliefs, which transcend scientific knowledge, certainties and the linearity of contemporary approaches, normally established as order.

Objectives:
to analyze the legislation issued during the COVID-19 pandemic for nursing education and immediate consequences.
Methods:
documentary research, whose source was the legislation issued for nursing education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thirty-two documents were analyzed and submitted to a collection instrument.
Results:
contradictions and consequences for nursing education following the guidelines and law of guidelines and bases were revealed. The consequences of the law affected the quality of teaching, equal access, exemption from minimum school days and course abbreviation. Regarding the guidelines, there was a lack of conditions for developing skills, in addition to the attempt to update them. Concerning internships, acting during the pandemic put students at risk, and their abbreviation prevented them from consolidating knowledge and skills.
Final Considerations:
remote teaching did not guarantee the quality and equality of teaching, weakened the development of skills, not taking into account nursing’s educational needs.

Objectives:
To build and validate a clinical simulation scenario designed to instruct community health workers (CHWs) in active leprosy case detection.
Methods:
Methodological study involving the development of a simulated clinical scenario and content validation by experts. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was used to determine the level of agreement among the judging commitee, and a descriptive analysis of their recommendations was performed.
Results:
A simulated scenario with a simulated participant was developed — a simulation characterized by low complexity, moderate physical/environmental fidelity, moderate to high psychological fidelity, and high conceptual fidelity, lasting 50 minutes and capable of training up to 10 CHWs simultaneously. The scenario was validated by 14 experts, with a CVI exceeding 80% for all components.
Conclusions:
The validated clinical simulation possesses attributes that make it highly reproducible in various national health contexts, thereby contributing to the global “Towards Zero Leprosy” strategy.

Objectives:
to reflect on the ethical dilemmas involved in the care of patients at the end of their lives.
Methods:
this is a theoretical-reflective study based on the ethics of care proposed by Luigina Mortari.
Results:
discussing care involves addressing the ways of being inherent to human existence and understanding the unique characteristics of this condition. Ethical care constitutes an action driven by interest in the other and by the perception of their need. Ethical dilemmas are a part of end-of-life care, making it essential to maintain respectful assistance that considers the patient’s autonomy, using strategies for expressing their wishes, and ensuring continuous clear and empathetic communication among all those involved in providing care.
Final Considerations:
issues related to being, stemming from one’s reality of dependency and vulnerability, contribute to the emergence of ethical dilemmas present in care actions.

During testing, the overall index was 99.7%, with the “resources” item receiving the lowest score. Adjustments were made to objectives, technical terms, resources, and target audience based on feedback.

To analyze information on resource allocation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, published in indexed scientific journals, from December 2019 to March 2020.
Methods:
This is an integrative literature review, which took place in March 2020. All databases were investigated and studies were found only in MEDLINE. After applying the established criteria, six articles were selected.
Results:
It was evident that the allocation of resources is carried out as the demands emerge. The fragility in presenting scientific-methodological evidence that can guide decision makers for assertive allocation of available resources is highlighted. The results showed that studies on this subject are incipient and need to be expanded.
Final considerations:
The need for health organizations and area authorities to be better prepared for the proper use of available resources, with allocation based on scientific evidence and maximization of resources is indicated.

Objective:
To discuss the political and structural conditions for establishing the Unified Health System (UHS – Sistema Único de Saúde, SUS) in coping with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
Methods:
Theoretical-reflection study.
Results:
At the first moment named “The global and the local in facing the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic” is presented the health crisis that took place worldwide and the government actions to combat COVID-19. A second moment named “Between dismantling actions and resistance, the UHS is the best way to face the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic”, reflects on the neoliberal attacks on the health system and how it resists, remaining the main pandemic response strategy.
Conclusion:
The strengthening of democracy and the defense of the UHS are the way out of the crisis. It is believed that this reflection generates – in everyone who deals with caretaking – the political action, the ethical attitude, the desire for valorization and the spirit of struggle in defense of the UHS and human life.

Method:
A cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study, performed with 98 female nurses, aged 40-65 years, using the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire.
Results:
the worst level of quality of life was observed for professionals aged 50-59 years, non-white, specialists, divorced or widowed, with children, a lower income, with another employment relationship, a weekly workload of more than 40 hours, who consumed alcoholic beverages weekly, with chronic disease, in continuous use of medications, sedentary, who did not menstruate and did not receive hormonal treatment, and who went through menopause between the ages of 43-47 years.
Conclusion:
Although the variables “physical activity” and “age” have a statistically significant association with quality of life, other variables seem to interfere in these professionals’ lives, indicating the need for a more critical and deep reflection on these relations.
