Objectives:
to identify how first-year nursing students use cyberspace and propose an orientation guide with criteria guiding the use of cyberspace.
Methods:
qualitative and descriptive research, carried out with 24 nursing students from a federal public institution in Rio de Janeiro. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews. Data analysis occurred using IRAMUTEQ®. The research was approved by the institution’s Research Ethics Committee.
Results:
students use cyberspace to communicate, study, find “cool things”, share photos and memories. Furthermore, they are concerned about hate speech, intolerance and fake news. The good and bad sides and the types of technologies most used were also portrayed.
Final considerations:
the moral and ethical values of physical coexistence, together with awareness of individual responsibility, are the pillars for using cyberspace. The guide comes as an awareness tool.

Objective:
to analyze how motherhood is expressed in female prison units from the perspective of Bioethics of Protection.
Method:
qualitative research with an ethnographic approach, developed in two women’s prison units. Participantes were: six mothers deprived of liberty, 15 health professionals, and nine prison officers. For data collection, semi-structured interviews and descriptive observation were used. Data analysis was based on the Content Analysis technique, thematic category.
Results:
three categories emerged: women and children violated behind bars (inequities); mothers and children in prison exacerbating imbalances, tensions and conflicts; and limits and references for resocialization.
Final Considerations:
the Bioethics of Protection proposal appears as a valid tool for the analytical direction of the process of confronting issues in the scope of public health in prison units, considering vulnerable groups and aiming at equity and human dignity.

Objective:
to analyze occurrence of self-harm, sociodemographic profile of victims and referrals in the first 24 months of the COVID-19 pandemic in São Paulo.
Method:
cross-sectional study carried out by the Notifiable Diseases Information System with data on self-harm in São Paulo. The period outlined was March 2020 to February 2022. R (4.0.2) software and chi-square test were used.
Results:
there were 15,946 incidents. Victims were young, white, single, heterosexual women. There was high incidence of people with previous mental disorders more than once and without clear motivation. The method used was poisoning/intoxication. There was a considerable number of referrals to the health network, although not totalitarian.
Conclusion:
the years of greater insecurity in relation to the pandemic have given rise to self-harm cases with peculiar characteristics. Agile health policies must be applied in atypical conditions, such as pandemics, especially for adolescents/young people with previous mental disorders.

Objective:
Describe the activities aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), implemented by a polytechnic higher education institution, in the northern region of Portugal.
Methods:
This is an experience report from a Higher Education Institution, which characterizes the contribution to the SDGs, within the scope of teaching, research, campus and leadership.
Results:
In total, 1247 activities were mapped, with a preponderance in the “people” dimension (685 activities), with SDG 3 being the most prominent. Scientific articles contribute significantly to the SDGs, with a notable discrepancy between automatic (Scopus) and manual classifications, indicating a tendency to underestimate the impact of nursing studies.
Conclusion:
The results demonstrate the significant contribution of this institution to the SDGs, with a special focus on health and education. This contribution reflects the mission of the institution, which involves training competent and socially conscious health professionals, but simultaneously the need for greater awareness and training of the teaching staff.

Objective:
The goal of this study is to analyze nurses’ leadership in intensive care units at hospitals in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in the face of positive and negative critical incidents.
Method:
Exploratory, descriptive study, conducted with 24 nurses by using the Critical Incident Technique as a methodological benchmark.
Results:
Results were grouped into 61 critical incidents distributed into categories. Researchers came to the conclusion that leadership-related situations interfere with IC nurses’ behaviors. Among these situations they found: difficulty in the communication process; conflicts in the daily exercise of nurses’ activities; people management; and the setting of high quality care targets.
Final considerations:
Researchers identified a mixed leadership model, leading them to the conclusion that nurses’ knowledge and practice of contemporary leadership theories/styles are crucial because they facilitate the communication process, focusing on behavioral aspects and beliefs, in addition to valuing flexibility. This positively impacts the organization’s results.

Objective:
To analyze the social representations of fibromyalgia based on its symptoms and their influences on diagnosis and therapy.
Methods:
Qualitative research with the application of the Theory of Social Representations and snowball sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 adults diagnosed with fibromyalgia in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between April 2020 and January 2021. Statistical and lexicographical analysis was performed using Alceste software.
Results:
Pain, as a subjective phenomenon, complicates its legitimacy, diagnosis, and therapy, enhancing suffering. Insufficient information generates judgments, stereotypes, and prejudices.
Final Considerations:
Stigmas, prejudices, the variety and invisibility of symptoms make it difficult to objectify the disease within the Cartesian-biomedical frameworks, generating diagnostic pilgrimage, mistakes, and challenges in treatment. Such representations hinder relationships and the management of the disease. Deconstructing them is a way to better care for those with fibromyalgia. Raising awareness and spreading qualified information are important allies.

Objective:
Compare Cardiovascular Risk between workers in Brazil and Portugal who work in the teaching context and its relationship with Lifestyle and Common Mental Disorder.
Methods:
Cross-sectional study that compared the cardiovascular health conditions of teaching workers in Manaus (Brazil) and Coimbra (Portugal). The odds ratio between groups was estimated.
Results:
The differences were: Smoking and hypercholesterolemia in participants from Portugal. Hypertension, chronic disease, increased abdominal perimeter, common mental disorder, and absence from work in Brazil. The variables with the greatest effect for high cardiovascular risk were: Country-Portugal [17.273 (95%CI1.538-193.951)], sex-male [61.577 (95%CI5.398-702.469)] and smoking [593.398 (95%CI57.330-6.142.020)].
Conclusion:
The differences in risk between groups showed that participants from Portugal, men, with high blood pressure and/or smokers are the most vulnerable to having a cardiovascular event. There is a need for interventions to promote cardiovascular health in the workplace in both countries.

Objective:
to interpret the meanings attributed to the health-related quality of life by caregivers of adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Methods:
qualitative, descriptive-exploratory study of 14 caregivers of adolescents with diabetes developed at the reference outpatient clinic for endocrine diseases in a city in the state of Paraíba. Interviews were performed between May and September 2021. Inductive thematic analysis of the empirical material, and its interpretation in light of the concepts of health-related quality of life and family functioning were performed.
Results:
the meanings attributed by caregivers to the health-related quality of life of adolescents converged on the feeling of being healthy, healthy eating, satisfactory family income, family involvement in care and effective access to the care network.
Final Considerations:
knowledge of these meanings enables health professionals to develop strategies that meet the unique demands of caregivers experiencing this diagnosis.
