Objective:
to identify scientific evidence about the communication process in Telenursing and analyze them.
Method:
integrative review performed in March 2014. The search strategy, structured with the descriptors “telenursing” and “communication”, was implemented in the databases Medline, Bireme, Cinahl, Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo, and Cochrane.
Results:
ten studies were selected after inclusion and exclusion criteria. The main challenges were: the clinical condition of patients, the possibility for inadequate communication to cause misconduct, the absence of visual references in interactions without video, and difficulty understanding nonverbal communication.
Conclusion:
distance imposes communicative barriers in all elements: sender, recipient and message; and in both ways of transmission, verbal and nonverbal. The main difficulty is to understand nonverbal communication. To properly behave in this context, nurses must receive specific training to develop abilities and communication skills.

Objective:
to investigate stressors perceived by patients in the immediate postoperative of cardiac surgery and their association with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
Method:
a prospective correlational study conducted in a city in São Paulo, between August 2013 and December 2014. A non-probabilistic sample included patients submitted to their first coronary artery bypass graft or mitral valve surgery. The “Environmental Stressor Questionnaire” adapted to Portuguese was used.
Results:
105 patients participated in the study. The item “being thirsty” was evaluated as the most stressful and “the nursing staff member does not introduce himself/herself by the name” as the least stressful. Among sociodemographic and clinical variables (gender, age, type and time of surgery, pain, intubation time, use of psychotropic medications and length of stay in the intensive care unit), only pain presented a significant association with the stressors.
Conclusion:
knowing stressors can help implement practices associated with their reduction, favoring patients’ recovery.

Objective:
To analyze how management practices for sharing knowledge are developed in public hospitals in the context of nursing.
Methods:
Qualitative research, carried out with 15 nurse managers from six public hospitals, from July to September 2022. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed according to content analysis and in a model for sharing knowledge at work.
Results:
Knowledge sharing in nursing occurs through intraand extra-organizational training (training, courses and events), use of digital communication tools (media and social networks) and individual and collective contact between professionals during the service (experiences, exchange of experiences and assessment feedback).
Final considerations:
Sharing knowledge is relevant to nursing work. To improve it, it must be understood that effective sharing occurs from person to person, in their daily practices, and must be conducted as a strategically planned process by nurse managers.

Regarding the perpetrator, there was a higher prevalence of individuals aged 25 years and older, males, with a current or former intimate partner relationship with the victim, and suspected alcohol use at the time of the aggression. In terms of the characteristics of the aggression, there was a higher prevalence of repeat violence, involving a single aggressor, and occurring in the residence.
Conclusions:
The notification of interpersonal violence in Espírito Santo showed a high prevalence and was associated with characteristics of the victim, aggressor, and event. This scenario reinforces the need for interventions such as professional qualification, expansion of intersectoral actions, and reformulation of public policies.

Results:
Various factors were found in the antecedents that influence the separation of youth groups, contributing to the heterogenization of this population. The attributes include characteristics that comprise the formation of youth groups, especially the idea of shared experiences and social construction, as well as the consequences of the mentioned concept. After systematizing the variables, the analysis was conducted, highlighting the conceptions that influence youth.
Conclusion:
The study demonstrated the multifactorial complexity of the formulation of the concept of youth, highlighting various factors that contribute to this construction. For nursing, this conceptual field allows for an understanding of the population and effective engagement with this group.
