Objective:
to characterize families and health status of the elderly in the Family Health Strategy and to verify the association of family composition with sociodemographic characteristics and health of the elderly.
Method:
population-based study with 215 families and 266 elderly, linked to the Family Health Strategy from a city of Rio Grande do Sul state.
Results:
there was predominance of nuclear family composition, considered as the main source of informal support, families of female elderly (62.6%) and cardiovascular complication. The nuclear structure was signifi cantly associated with female gender (PR = 0.77; p = 0.025) and smoking (PR = 1.35; p = 0.009).
Conclusion:
the results reinforce the need to maintain a network of formal and informal support to the elderly and their families to preserve the independence or to postpone the decline in functional capacity.

Objective:
to analyze conceptions of nurses on child health surveillance in family health units.
Method:
a qualitative study with thematic analysis of the data, based on the paradigm of Health Surveillance. Interviews were conducted with 13 nurses in a countryside city in the state of Sao Paulo.
Results:
nurses conceived child health surveillance as an active monitoring, which should be comprehensive, identifying risks/vulnerabilities, through multidisciplinary and intersectoral actions that are dependent on maternal involvement. We found partial development of these assumptions in practice, due to diffi culties such as lack of maternal involvement in the proposed actions, lack of time for discussion and adoption of measures in the units and disarticulation between levels and sectors of the city.
Conclusion:
a greater political and technical investment is needed to ensure the adoption of this model in different sectors and levels of care of the city.

Objective:
to identify the attributes of the “family insufficiency” concept of the aged in the literature.
Method:
critical literature analysis.
Results:
family insufficiency is characterized as a complex process of psychosocial interaction, founded mainly on low social support of the aged and impaired family ties. Its antecedents are found in contemporary transformations within the family system, intergenerational conflicts, impaired family relationships and social vulnerability of the family. The consequences of family insufficiency include social vulnerability of the aged, decline of psychological and functional health, lower quality of life and unsuccessful aging. An original theoretical proposal was elaborated for the concept of family insufficiency in the elderly, with the identification of its attributes, antecedents and consequences.
Conclusion:
the findings of this study constitute a theoretical advancement in the Family Insufficiency Syndrome in elderly people and provide data for future field research in developing the concept.

Objective:
analyze the pertinence of calls made by obstetric users of the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU 192) of Botucatu-SP.
Method:
retrospective and analytical research. All records of prehospital obstetric care delivered by the SAMU 192 in 2012 were analyzed. To be considered responsive, calls should lead to referral to a reference obstetric hospital or be classified with the colors red, orange and yellow, according to risk criteria defined by the Ministry of Health.
Results:
considering the two outcomes evaluated: referral to a reference hospital and risk criteria defined by the Ministry of Health, 6.7% and 75.6% of the calls were not pertinent, respectively. There was no matching between outcomes, neither variation between primiparas and multiparas as regards the call pertinence.
Conclusion:
this study ratifies the need for implementing a risk classification protocol in obstetrics, and support managers in the organization, qualification and effective implementation of the Rede Cegonha.

Objective:
to know and analyze the experiences of women who developed an episode of Severe Maternal Morbidity.
Method:
this is a qualitative study, in which we interviewed 16 women admitted to a tertiary level hospital, as a result of this morbid state. We used content analysis in data processing.
Results:
two categories were identified: “Understanding maternal morbidity as a negative presence” and “Moving ahead: on constant alert”. The interviewees mentioned negative aspects, such as treatment difficulties and hospitalization, feelings of fear, concern for the fetus, frustration with the idealized pregnancy, trauma; and positive aspects, such as learning and the expression of the divine will in the experience of illness.
Conclusion:
effective care during the prenatal period, delivery and postpartum period should provide adequate support for the prevention and assistance in Severe Maternal Morbidity.

Objective:
to identify costs of dressings to prevent sacral pressure ulcers in an adult intensive care unit in Paraná, Brazil.
Methods:
secondary analysis study with 25 patients admitted between October 2013 and March 2014, using transparent polyurethane film (n=15) or hydrocolloid dressing (n=10) on the sacral region. The cost of each intervention was based on the unit amount used in each type of dressing, and its purchase price (transparent film = R$15.80, hydrocolloid dressing = R$68.00).
Results:
the mean cost/patient was R$23.17 for use of transparent film and R$190.40 for use of hydrocolloid dressing. The main reason for changing the dressing was detachment.
Conclusion:
the transparent film was the most economically advantageous alternative to prevent sacral pressure ulcers in critical care patients. However, additional studies should be carried out including assessment of the effectiveness of both dressings.

Objective:
To comprehend the multiprofessional actions regarding palliative care for patients in the Intensive Care Unit affected by SARS-CoV-2.
Methods:
A comprehensive qualitative study conducted with 31 professionals from the Intensive Care Units of a university hospital, based on the Theory of Peaceful End of Life.
Results:
The analysis of the discourse led to the identification of two categories: “Multidisciplinary actions to promote comfort at the end of life” and “Palliative care during the pandemic period and the promotion of emotional and spiritual comfort.”
Final Considerations:
It became evident that local administration needs to invest in measures that reduce barriers to the implementation of palliative care during times of crisis. Understanding the discourse highlighted that non-specialized professionals can provide basic palliative care appropriately, without diminishing the importance and necessity of the presence of palliative care specialists in various hospital areas.

Objective:
To analyze the uncertainties experienced by nursing professionals who contracted COVID-19.
Methods:
This qualitative research was conducted with 20 nursing professionals who fell ill from COVID-19. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews; the data were then organized using thematic analysis and discussed in the context of Merle Mishel’s Reconceptualized of Uncertainty in Illness Theory.
Results:
The antecedents of the disease had a strong influence on how nursing professionals who contracted COVID-19 perceived uncertainty. The media coverage of the increasing number of cases, the collapse of the healthcare system, and the high mortality rate contributed to associating the disease with fear and panic.
Final Considerations:
Viewing it from the perspective of the disease’s antecedents, the illness of a nursing professional from COVID-19 underscores that before being professionals, they are human beings just like anyone else, undergoing adversities and facing the possibilities associated with being ill.

Objectives:
to identify the factors that influenced the mental capacity to work of nursing technicians during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study, carried out at two reference hospitals in assisting the population during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 237 professionals from Intensive Care Units participated and answered a questionnaire. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess the correlation between mental capacity to work and variables related to risks of contamination, institutional support and health.
Results:
lack of COVID-19 tests, lack of knowledge of routine, absences in 2021 and mental illness contributed to worse mental capacity to work. Management embracement and physical capacity were considered protective factors.
