Objectives:
to integrate evidence from studies on auditory perceptual and speech production effects in communication situations with face mask use.
Methods:
an integrative literature review, in MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Embase databases. The guiding question was: what effects on communication (perceptual-auditory and speech production) occur with face mask use?
Results:
searches in electronic databases resulted in 1,478 studies and filtering resulted in 29 final studies.
Conclusions:
mask use has effects on communication, both in perception and speech production, factors that are also related to quality of life, stress and socio-emotional factors. These data can impact on indicators and alerts in favor of adopting strategies to manage mask use, involving speech production and perception when wearing a mask in health services.

Objetivo:
Determinar el nivel de autocompasión e investigar las relaciones entre las variables sociodemográficas y la autocompasión entre estudiantes de pregrado de enfermería en una universidad estatal de Indonesia durante la pandemia de COVID-19
Métodos:
Este estudio utilizó un diseño transversal. Las muestras se seleccionaron mediante una técnica de muestreo aleatorio estratificado proporcional (n=260). Los datos se recopilaron utilizando una versión indonesia de la Escala de Autocompasión, que consta de 6 subescalas: bondad propia, autocrítica, humanidad común, aislamiento, atención plena y sobre identificación. Los datos se analizaron mediante análisis univariado y bivariado.
Resultados:
El 60% de los estudiantes tenían autocompasión moderada. Los estudiantes puntuaron más alto en amabilidad consigo mismos (3,93±1,02) y sobre identificación (3,58±0,94), lo que indica que a menudo intentaban amarse a sí mismos cuando sentían dolor emocional y a menudo se dejaban llevar cuando sucedió algo perturbador. Posteriormente, se encontró una correlación significativa entre la edad y la autocompasión (p<0,05).
Conclusión:
La autocompasión entre los estudiantes de enfermería debe mejorarse por medio de intervenciones como la alfabetización de la compasión, el entrenamiento en atención plena y las técnicas experienciales basadas en la compasión.

Objective:
To determine the level of self-compassion and investigate the relationships between sociodemographic variables and self-compassion among undergraduate nursing students at a state university in Indonesia during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Methods:
This study used a cross-sectional design. Samples were selected using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique (n=260). Data were collected using an Indonesian version of the Self-compassion Scale, which consists of 6 subscales: self-kindness, self-judgment, common humanity, isolation, mindfulness, and overidentification. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis.
Results:
60% of students had moderate self-compassion. Students scored the highest in self-kindness (3,93±1,02) and over-identification (3,58±0,94), indicating that they often tried to love themselves when they felt emotional pain and often get carried away when something upsetting happened. Subsequently, a significant correlation was found between age and self-compassion (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
Self-compassion among nursing students should be improved through interventions such as compassion literacy, mindfulness training, and compassion-based experiential techniques.

Objectives:
to understand the perspective of nurses on the use of telemonitoring in the management of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension in primary care.
Methods:
this qualitative research involved sixteen nurses from eight municipalities in Paraná. Data were collected between November 2022 and January 2023 through inperson or remote interviews, which were audio-recorded and subjected to content analysis.
Results:
according to the nurses, telemonitoring enhances users’ knowledge about these conditions, communication and connection with the team, and productivity. However, the lack of electronic resources and equipment, high staff turnover, low user adherence, and the limited availability of professional time present significant challenges.
Final Considerations:
the effective implementation and operation of telemonitoring in the management of people with diabetes and hypertension involve both potential benefits and barriers. It is essential to have the availability of human and technological resources, managerial support, and the commitment of professionals and users.

Objectives:
to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses regarding blood culture collection.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study was conducted in five Brazilian public hospitals with 112 nurses. Data were collected using an adapted questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results:
nurses who did not consider themselves capable of collecting blood cultures had a 72% lower chance of performing the collection at the recommended site and an 83% lower chance of using the same needle for blood inoculation into the vials. Nurses working in the emergency department had a 75% lower chance of knowing the international benchmark for blood culture contamination rates, and those with less than 5 years in the position decreased their chance of accuracy in this matter by 79%.
Conclusions:
there are gaps in the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses regarding blood culture collection. Standardization of the technique, periodic education, supervision and guidance of the collection team, and process auditing are recommended coping strategies.

Methods:
a qualitative study based on Social Representation Theory was conducted with 126 participants between October 2021 and May 2022 in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro. A characterization questionnaire, free evocations of the inducing term “surgery”, and semi-structured interviews with 60 participants were applied. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel® and IRaMuTeQ.
Results:
the central core of the representation is composed of fear, cure, hope, and removing the disease. The analysis of interviews resulted in six classes that highlight the social changes caused by treatment as well as the need for a support network to cope with the surgical process.
Final Considerations:
the representations reflect fear and hope towards the procedure and the desire to remove the disease, thus translating the cure through surgery.

methodological study carried out in 2021 with 260 health professionals in Recife, PE. Validation based on the internal structure was carried out at this stage using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and validity based on item response theory.
Results:
the validation determined the retention of five factors and 63 items. The instrument’s internal consistency and quality of fit was 0.90, the Tukey-Lewis index was 0.915 and the comparative fit index was 0.918 in the confirmatory factor analysis. The indication for the absolute majority of items is adequate fit.
Conclusions:
the instrument has construct validity, making it possible to use it to evaluate the decentralization process and care for People Living with HIV in Primary Health Care.

Objective:
to construct and validate the content of an inventory of ethical problems experienced by nurses in mobile pre-hospital care.
Method:
a psychometric approach study, developed with the following stages: (1) instrument construction through a theoretical matrix based on deliberative bioethics, scoping review and online qualitative research; (2) content validity by judges; (3) pre-testing with Mobile Emergency Care Service nurses in various Brazilian states. For content validity analysis, the Content Validity Ratio was calculated (CVR>0.45 for judges and CVR>0.35 for the target population).
Results:
the instrument had 44 items, distributed across four dimensions.
Final considerations:
the constructed instrument presented sources of evidence of content validity, providing good psychometric measurements and constituting a useful tool for nurses’ practice in the pre-hospital setting.
