Objectives:
to know the meaning of the role of nurses in the hospital environment.
Methods:
this is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, whose setting was a university hospital in Minas Gerais with 50 nurses. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed according to content analysis, with the contribution of the Interface software from R pour les Analyzes Multidimensionalnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires.
Results:
three categories emerged: “Nurses’ daily work in the hospital environment”; “Work motivation as an influential factor in the meaning of work”; “The two faces of the meaning of work: pleasure and suffering”. Nurses attributed a positive meaning to their work.
Final Considerations:
three dimensions of the meaning of work were highlighted: individual, organizational and social. These influenced the professional, social, working and individual life of nurses.

Objective:
to describe the social representations of patients with vasculogenic ulcers about quality of life and analyze such representations from the social context of patients’ insertion in relation to the healthcare service.
Method:
a qualitative research, based on social representations, developed in a Family Clinic in Rio de Janeiro with 30 patients with vasculogenic ulcers for over 90 days. Data were produced through interviews and submitted to lexicographical analysis using the Alceste software.
Results:
the weaknesses of care in the healthcare service to which patients were linked contributed to exacerbate the reconfiguration of daily life that the occurrence of ulcers implies, due to the presence of pain and physical restrictions, influencing the representation of quality of life.
Final considerations:
the representation was objectified as a counterpoint to the image of “being happy”, and actions expressed proactivity in the search for a cure or passivity due to lack of clinical results.

Objective:
To analyze caregivers’ knowledge about prevention of domestic accidents in early childhood and its association with education level.
Methods:
This is a cross-sectional study conducted in a Primary Care Unit in Niterói with caregivers (convenience sample) of children under 6 years old. To classify the knowledge, we adopted the Positivity Index; to verify the association between the variable “schooling” and knowledge, the chi square test was used; statistically significant results: p < 0.05.
Results:
A total of 256 caregivers participated; 93.5% showed adequate knowledge. In the individual items, the knowledge (100%) about prevention of accidents with sharp toys, firearms, intoxication by products stood out; and less frequently (64.5%), the knowledge of the information contained in the Child’s Health Booklet. There was no statistically significant association (p = 0.237) between education and knowledge. Conclusion: The caregivers presented knowledge about the prevention of domestic accidents, and this was not associated with the level of education.

Objectives:
to analyze the concept of “interruption in the work of nursing professionals”.
Methods:
conceptual study according to the method proposed by Walker and Avant through integrative literature review. The study searched the databases using the descriptors: “Attention”, “Attention Bias”, “Health Personnel”, “Nurses”, “Patient Safety” and “Medical Malpractices”. The sample consisted of 36 studies.
Results:
the antecedents were alarms, answering phone calls, providing patient care, and lack of material/medicine. The defining attributes were pause, suspension, breakage, and intrusion. In relation to the consequences, the study highlighted the increase in frequency and severity of medication errors and change of focus.
Final Considerations:
theconceptual analysis identified the attributes, antecedents, and consequences and allowed to build an operational definition for “interruption in the work of nursing professionals”. It will contribute to the improvement of the work process and the creation of strategies that ensure safer care for the patient.

Objectives:
to identify predisposing and enabling factors as well as the health needs associated with the discontinuance of outpatient follow-up of newborns who were hospitalized at neonatal intensive care unit.
Methods:
cross-sectional study, using the behavioral model of health services use. The study was composed of 358 mothers and newborns referred to the outpatient follow-up after discharge. Characterization, perception of social support, postnatal depression, and attendance to appointments data were collected, analyzed by the R software (3.3.1).
Results:
outpatient follow-up was discontinued by 31.28% of children in the first year after discharge. In multiple regression analysis, the chance of discontinuance was higher for newborns who used mechanical ventilation (OR = 1.68; 95%CI 1.04-2.72) and depended on technology (OR = 3.54; 95%CI 1.32-9.5).
Conclusions:
predisposing factors were associated with the discontinuance of follow-up; enabling factors and health needs did not present a significant association. Children with more complex health conditions require additional support to participate in follow-up programs, thus ensuring the continuity of care.

Objective:
to understand the Generalized Resistance Deficits of people deprived of liberty with hypertension in a Brazilian prison unit.
Method:
qualitative research, anchored in Salutogenesis, carried out with 38 people with hypertension from a Brazilian prison unit, from February to July 2022, with a semi-structured interview with open-ended questions, whose analysis was thematic, explaining the limitations to health in prison.
Results:
13 Generalized Resistance Deficits were reported, mostly related to the prison environment and, to a lesser extent, to the social group and the individual, respectively. Living in prison for people with hypertension implies living with a high number of Generalized Resistance Deficits, accentuating the movement towards the disease pole.
Final considerations:
knowing Generalized Resistance Deficits allows directing health promotion to support the use of available Generalized Resistance Resources and contributes to the expansion of intersectoral policies.

To comprehensively analyze the perception of women with breast cancer on the experience of undergoing chemotherapy.
Method:
This was a qualitative, descriptive, phenomenological study, supported by the Merleau-Ponty philosophy. It was conducted in a chemotherapy outpatient clinic with 20 participants who completed a phenomenological interview.
Results:
The phenomenological data analysis demonstrated that the perception of women about the experience of chemotherapy is about change, not only of the physical body, but of their identity, and that it considers existential aspects. Three categories emerged from the experience of alopecia, fatigue, and spirituality, respectively: the body itself, the current and habitual body, and transcendence.
Final considerations:
Bodily changes, and the existential implications perceived by the women in this study, analyzed from the Merleau-Ponty perspective, makes it possible to consider body concept, and provides support for humanized care based on singularity and the socio-cultural context.
