    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    Understand the beliefs, knowledge, and actions of nursing technicians on breastfeeding as a form of non-pharmacological intervention to relieve pain in newborns and infants during immunization.

    Methods:

    Qualitative study carried out through semi-structured interviews with nine nursing technicians from three Basic Health Units in a city in the state of São Paulo. The theoretical approach of the Belief Model and the methodological framework of Thematic Analysis supported this study.

    Results:

    Three themes originated: Beliefs, Knowledge, and Actions of nursing technicians.

    Final considerations:

    Despite knowledge about the benefits of breastfeeding as the most effective method for relieving pain in newborns and infants during vaccination, their restrictive beliefs overrode the evidence, leading them to act in ways that discourage or prevent the mother from breastfeed during vaccination. Formal training is recommended to align with current evidence-based practices.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to map evidence on educational technology use for accident prevention due to falls in childhood.

    Methods:

    a scoping review, carried out in October and November 2022, in the MEDLINE, Web of Science, BDENF and CINAHL databases and LILACS bibliographic index. There was no delimitation of language or time. Data were extracted and analyzed descriptively by two independent researchers. The research protocol was registered in the Open Science Framework.

    Results:

    twenty-six studies were selected. Booklets, pamphlets and leaflets were the most used technologies, presenting health services as the most frequent environment to develop research on fall prevention. The technologies developed were important outcomes: increased knowledge of children, family members, caregivers, health and education professionals.

    Conclusions:

    educational technology use makes it possible to increase knowledge, adopt safe practices and reduce falls.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to map the available evidence on resources used to promote health literacy among caregivers of prematurely born children during outpatient follow-up.

    Methods:

    the Joanna Briggs Institute’s scope review protocol was utilized. The search encompassed six databases, incorporating studies from 2012 to 2022.

    Results:

    the three included publications revealed that the resources employed are: mobile applications, phone calls, individual counseling, videos, educational pamphlets, and group discussions. Implementing an education protocol during the transition home enhances scientifically grounded health promotion rates.

    Conclusions:

    there is limited literature addressing the health literacy of these caregivers. The nursing team plays a crucial role in health education and in developing resources applicable to these families.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze the social representations of patients with cancer regarding oncologic surgery.

    Methods:

    a qualitative study based on Social Representation Theory was conducted with 126 participants between October 2021 and May 2022 in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro. A characterization questionnaire, free evocations of the inducing term “surgery”, and semi-structured interviews with 60 participants were applied. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel® and IRaMuTeQ.

    Results:

    the central core of the representation is composed of fear, cure, hope, and removing the disease. The analysis of interviews resulted in six classes that highlight the social changes caused by treatment as well as the need for a support network to cope with the surgical process.

    Final Considerations:

    the representations reflect fear and hope towards the procedure and the desire to remove the disease, thus translating the cure through surgery.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to understand the perspective of nurses on the use of telemonitoring in the management of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension in primary care.

    Methods:

    this qualitative research involved sixteen nurses from eight municipalities in Paraná. Data were collected between November 2022 and January 2023 through inperson or remote interviews, which were audio-recorded and subjected to content analysis.

    Results:

    according to the nurses, telemonitoring enhances users’ knowledge about these conditions, communication and connection with the team, and productivity. However, the lack of electronic resources and equipment, high staff turnover, low user adherence, and the limited availability of professional time present significant challenges.

    Final Considerations:

    the effective implementation and operation of telemonitoring in the management of people with diabetes and hypertension involve both potential benefits and barriers. It is essential to have the availability of human and technological resources, managerial support, and the commitment of professionals and users.

    ABSTRACT

    Objectives:

    to analyze palliative care production developed by health professionals to home care patients.

    Methods:

    this is an exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, using the transpersonal care theoretical framework. Thirteen interviews were conducted with health professionals and 18 observations were conducted on different cases. Content analysis was performed using MAXQDA©.

    Results:

    actions performed: maintenance and follow-up measures to people eligible for palliative care, in acts of dialogue and “listening” to caregivers and users, conducting guidelines for the care and self-care process, performing technical procedures, delivery of materials, referrals and medical prescriptions to users.

    Final Considerations:

    it is perceived the need for advances in the implementation of government policies in Brazil that insert palliative care into the Health Care Network through educational, managerial and care actions that ensure human dignity, thus allowing the development of these and other palliative care interventions.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To analyze the influence of socioeconomic, demographic, epidemiological factors, and the health system structure in the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.

    Methods:

    Ecological study with variables extracted from databases, having the incidence and mortality by COVID-19 until August 23, 2020, in Brazilian states, as response variables. The magnitude of the associations was estimated using Spearman’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis.

    Results:

    In the Brazilian states, 59.8% of variation in the incidence of COVID-19 was justified by income inequality, significant home densification, and higher mortality. In the case of mortality, those same variables explained 57.9% of the country’s variations in federal units.

    Conclusion:

    Our results indicate that socioeconomic factors influenced the evolution and impact of COVID-19 in Brazil. Thus, we suggest comprehensive actions to ensure economic conditions and strengthening of health networks for populations with socioeconomic vulnerability.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to validate a booklet on dengue prevention in order to make it an educational technology to be used with the population.

    Method:

    methodological study, carried out with two groups of judges specialized in health and other areas. For data analysis, the calculation of Content Validity Index was carried out.

    Results:

    the booklet, in general, was considered valid by the expert judges, since it obtained an overall CVI of 70%. However, it has undergone a textual and aesthetic re-elaboration. The changes were based on the substitution of expressions, phrases, information additions and language adequacy. The illustrations were redone, adding clarity, expressiveness, movement, interaction and contextualization.

    Conclusion:

    the booklet is valid to be used for the population, with the purpose of informing, in a playful way, the forms of prevention and combat to mosquito transmitting dengue.
