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.

Objectives:
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.

Objective:
identify the senses and practices representative of humanization in the training of undergraduate nursing students.
Method:
a qualitative study, supported on the national policy of humanization and the concept of social representation. An interview was conducted with 40 undergraduate nursing students from a public institution. ALCESTE software was used for lexical content analysis.
Results:
the sense of humanization is built on the practice and disciplines of social and human sciences. The coordination between theory and practice is representative of humanization, but does not take place in learning experiences. The professor’s participation and teamwork are elements that influence humanization.
Conclusion:
humanization should be reinforced in the training of undergraduate nursing students, using learning-teaching strategies and experiences that make sense to students, including alliances between theory and practice, learning and service, research and care.

Objective:
to unveil the existential movement of a couple when performing vertical HIV transmission prophylaxis.
Method:
qualitative research, using Martin Heidegger’s phenomenological approach. A phenomenological interview was conducted with 14 participants between December/2011 and February/2012 in the outpatient facilities of an university hospital, Brazil. A comprehensive and interpretative heideggerian analysis was developed.
Results:
the couple understands that they have followed the guidance of the health professionals as indicated. By not being able to breastfeed, the woman did not fail to be a mother, but it was also not a complete experience. The senses of the occupation of the couple-being unfolded to the prophylactic treatment and facticity due to the fact of not breastfeeding.
Conclusion:
we indicate the need to rethink care, proposing a working relationship that transcends the impersonal that dictates about what the couple must deal with, enabling their active participation in care decisions and actions.

Objective:
to investigate the existence of a relationship between attitudinal profiles and the pleasure/suffering dynamic in workers of Mental Health Services.
Method:
a quantitative, descriptive-analytical, correlational and cross-sectional study conducted in 2014. We used three instruments: characterization questionnaire, Opinions on Mental Illness Scale and Pleasure and Suffering Indicators at Work Scale, answered by 80 workers of the Network for Psychosocial Care of Alfenas, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Results:
Authoritarianism proved to be the predominant profile. As for the pleasure/suffering at work, Gratification was considered adequate, and indicators such as Freedom, Wear and Insecurity were considered moderate critical. There were positive correlations between the most favorable attitudes and pleasure indicators at work. The values of both scales showed a relationship with socio-demographic and professional variables.
Conclusion:
the less favorable attitudes are prevalent and, in spite of suffering being present, these professionals feel gratified about their work.

Objective:
To analyze overweight in young adult students from the individual dimension of vulnerability, especially its interpersonal and subjective markers.
Method:
An analytical quantitative study was performed with 560 young adults from 26 schools in a capital city in Northeastern Brazil. After obtaining data to administer specific questionnaires, logistic regression was used to identify markers of individual vulnerability.
Results:
In the bivariate analysis, overweight showed a statistically significant association with self-perception of health, satisfaction with body image and self-perception of overweight, the latter remaining in the final regression model.
Conclusion:
It can be mainly concluded that self-perception of overweight is distorted when compared to one’s actual body weight and, for this reason, young adults are vulnerable to dysfunctional health states. However, it was confirmed that this health condition must be understood in an individual and contextual perspective.
