Objective:
to understand the experience of care of people with venous ulcers using an Unna’s boot.
Method:
a qualitative study, based on the social phenomenology by Alfred Schütz, was carried out with 12 adults interviewed in 2015. The statements were analyzed and organized in thematic categories.
Results:
the following categories emerged: “Unna’s boot annoyance versus wound improvement”, “Difficulties for accessing care with the Unna’s boot”, “Care for healing and preventing recurrence”, and “Receiving more attention from the healthcare professional”.
Conclusion:
the experience of care of people using an Unna’s boot revealed the annoyance caused by this device, which was overcome due to the wound improvement. However, access to care was compromised by the lack of structure at the service, frustrating the patients’ expectations regarding wound healing. The issues of these people’s intersubjective universe should be considered in the management of care of venous ulcers.

Method:
A prospective cohort study that followed adults in a Brazilian emergency department, since the indication of the use of a NET, evaluating clinical variables and the work process. The Generalized Estimated Equations model was adopted to identify factors associated with the delays in each stage of the process.
Results:
the time between indication and use of NET was 573 (IQR: 3601,093) minutes, in 150 insertions of NET. Insertions in patients who previously did not use it; delays in the medical, nutrition, and nursing care routine; use of mechanical ventilation; noradrenaline; and fasting were factors for longer time before the use of the tube.
Conclusion:
the time between indication and use of NET was high, exceeding 10 hours in half of the cases. Factors related to the clinical condition of the patient and to the care management would contribute to delays.

Objective:
to identify evidences from the literature on the application of nursing process in care developed by the nurse in mental health.
Method:
integrative literature review between 1990 and 2013, in the PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL and LILCACS bases. Descriptors: nursing processes, mental health, nursing care.
Results:
19 papers were identified. Limited and partial usage of the nursing process in care established by a therapeutic relationship that respects the patient’s individuality. We observe care proposals systematized for patients that present pathological aspects in the limits between the physical and psychical, which might be a response to the influence of the practice based on evidences.
Conclusion:
it was found an antagonistic movement between care based on the relationship and located in the standardization of diagnoses that respond to physical malaise. A lack of evidence was verified for the usage of the nursing process in mental health, and we point at the necessity for the creation of new possibilities for dialogue between relational and biological perspectives.

Objective:
To analyze the determinants for non-vaccination against COVID-19 in pregnant women in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Methods:
An epidemiological study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using data from the project titled “Childbirth and Breastfeeding in Children of Mothers Infected by SARS-CoV-2,” developed during the pandemic in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Results:
The study sample consisted of 360 pregnant women, of whom 77.89% received the COVID-19 vaccine. External, social, and institutional determinants can influence lower adherence to COVID-19 vaccination, especially the absence of employment during pregnancy, difficult access to prenatal consultations, and a compromised or deficient support network.
Conclusions:
In light of this scenario, greater encouragement for health education is necessary, especially during prenatal care, resulting in lower rates of morbidity and mortality and favorable perinatal outcomes.

Objectives:
to evaluate the effectiveness of peripheral central catheterization by comparing the modified Seldinger technique and the conventional technique in critically ill newborns.
Methods:
randomized unmasked clinical trial conducted in a public children’s hospital. Participation of 111 newborns with randomized allocation, 56 in the control group (conventional technique) and 55 in the experimental group (modified Seldinger). Success and absence of complications were evaluated as primary outcomes. The pain scale, difficulty in hemostasis, procedure time and number of punctures were considered secondary outcomes.
Results:
there was no statistical significance between groups, either for success (p=0.705) or absence of complications (p=0.347). A lower pain score, improved hemostasis, increased assertiveness with fewer punctures and reduced procedure time were not observed in the experimental group.
Conclusions:
the modified Seldinger technique did not prove to be a more effective insertion technology compared to the conventional method. Brazilian Clinical Trial Registry: RBR-69vks36.

to understand the narratives of sex workers about violence suffered by intimate partners and their coping strategies.
Methods:
qualitative research, focused on thematic oral history, carried out with six sex workers in southern Brazil, who responded to in-depth interviews using a flexible script. Thematic content analysis was used.
Results:
the study included cisgender women who self-identified as half black and half white. Most had children and were separated. They reported abusive relationships by their intimate partners, with emphasis on verbal, psychological, financial, and physical violence and attempted femicide. Such violence resulted in coping strategies, such as avoiding emotional bonds and maintaining a discreet life.
Final Considerations:
intimate partner violence is prevalent among participants, leading them to adopt strategies to preserve their safety and well-being, highlighting the need for public policies that meet their particularities and guarantee protection.
