Objective:
to analyze the sense perception of nursing students in the learning of communication in a psychiatric hospital.
Method:
qualitative, exploratory and descriptive, from representative drawings of the communication perceived by the body senses of 23 nursing students, and recorded enunciation of the remarkable experiences after the end of the practical activities. The data were analyzed according to thematic content.
Results:
the heart captures perceptions, favoring interpersonal relationships; smelling shows care lacking in hospitalization; vision monopolizes the impressions of reality, making the movements static; hearing is exercised in the amplitude to listen; touching demarcates limitations of contact and interaction; and tasting, as social sense, seeks to overcome the obstacles to take care.
Conclusion:
the learning of communication was significant, making the psychiatric hospital a space to listen to what is inside, to find in the emotions and rationalities the sensations that can be inside and outside the tension nodes that interfere in the perceptions.

Objective:
To analyze and characterize the use of night beds in a Psychosocial Attention Care Center for Alcohol and Drugs (Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Álcool e Drogas – CAPS ad).
Method:
It is a quantitative, documental, descriptive and retrospective study. Data were gathered from 565 medical records. An analysis of continuous variables was performed.
Results:
When admitted to the beds, most users (87.6%) consumed multiple substances daily and were vulnerable, specially in street situation (68.3%). These users were admitted on an average of two times, undergoing a previous evaluation by the nurse (85.8%), usually for detoxication or due to the vulnerable condition. They stayed in the center for an average of seven days and 31.1% did not finish what was proposed. For a few cases, hospital support was needed. Overall, discharges were planned, but the return happened without booking.
Conclusion:
Social issues cut through the use of night beds, however, it is a therapeutic resource that meets significant demands and is present in the daily lives of vulnerable users as a comprehensive care.

Objectives:
to assess factors associated with vulnerability and fragility in the elderly.
Methods:
crosssectional study with 384 elderly people in Fortaleza, Ceará. The Vulnerable Elders Survey and Clinical-Functional Vulnerability Index – 20 were used. Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were used for associations. In the analysis of the combined influence of risk factors, the stepwise logistic regression and multinomial regression methods were adopted.
Results:
251 (65.4%) non-vulnerable and 133 (34.6%) vulnerable elders. From the vulnerable elders analyzed, 42 (30.9%) are at high risk for frailty. Factors associated with vulnerability: age, gender, presence of comorbidities, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis and use of polypharmacy. There is a 30% increase in the chance of vulnerability for each additional drug. Physical activity reduces the chance of vulnerability by 60%. Factors associated with frailty: educational level; self-perception of health; comorbidities; polypharmacy.
Conclusions:
it is important to pay attention to the presence of arterial hypertension, osteoporosis, polypharmacy, and encourage the practice of physical activity.

Results:
after analyzing the students’ performance through the applied instruments, both groups had a cognitive evolution along with the taught content, however, when compared, the intervention group obtained a higher knowledge gain than the comparison group (p = 0.016), demonstrating progressive and increasing improvement with the use of the methodology.
Conclusions:
simulated teaching significantly helps students in gaining technical-cognitive knowledge. Therefore, it is recommended to adhere to the use of this methodology for teaching Nursing Fundamentals.

Objectives:
to analyze the factors associated with suicidal ideation in students from healthcare graduation courses.
Methods:
quantitative, cross-sectional study, with 251 students from the courses of radiology, speech-language therapy, medicine, nutrition, health service management, and nursing, from a federal higher education institution in the Southeast of Brazil. Data were collected from August to October 2019, using an electronic questionnaire.
Results:
the prevalence of suicidal ideation among participants was 26.33%. In the final logistic regression model, only depressive symptoms were associated with suicidal ideation. Having symptoms of depression increased the chances of suicidal ideation 2.6 times.
Conclusion:
the high prevalence of suicidal ideation and its associated factors constitutes a situational diagnosis that demands the elaboration of public and institutional policies, focused on the promotion and attention to the mental health of the students.
