Objectives:
to present a theoretical model for the interactional context of health professionals and families of children and adolescents under palliative care.
Methods:
qualitative study based on the theoretical frameworks of Grounded Theory and Symbolic Interactionism. Ten palliative care professionals took part in this study through semi-structured interviews employing snowball technique from 2020 to 2021.
Results:
the comparative data analysis resulted in the theoretical model “Searching for human connection to transcend symbolisms in pediatric palliative care”. It reveals symbolic elements that substantiate the construction of a collaborative context integrating two phenomena: “Overcoming boundaries and intertwining paths” and “Embracing suffering to weave meaningful experiences”. Symbolisms in palliative care guide the behavior of families and professionals, which makes them the key factor to be managed.
Final Considerations:
symbolisms and suffering continually integrate the interactional experience of professionals. Empathy and compassion are fundamental elements to enable their connection with families.

Objectives:
to identify the effect on satisfaction and self-confidence of undergraduate nursing students after using a validated bed bath video during the simulation.
Methods:
blinded parallel randomized clinical trial. Participants were allocated to the control group (simulation with tutor) or intervention (simulation with video). After the interventions, the Student Satisfaction and Self Confidence with Learning Scale was used to assess satisfaction and self-confidence. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee and Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials. Mann Whitney, Fisher Exact and Student t statistical tests were used. A significance level of 5% was adopted. Results: fifty eight students (30, control; and 28, intervention) were evaluated. There was no significant difference between the groups regarding satisfaction (p=0.832) and self-confidence (p>0.999).
Conclusions:
satisfaction and self-confidence were similar between the groups, and the two strategies could be used in the simulated practice of bed bathing.

Objectives:
to identify in the literature and summarize nursing care in a hospital environment directed to patients who suffered burns.
Methods:
a scoping review, according to the JBI Reviewers’ Manual recommendations, with a search in the MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus databases and in the Virtual Health Library portal, through articles published between 2016 and December 2021.
Results:
of the total 419 articles found, nine were selected for analysis. The main care measures identified were changing dressings and types of coverage, vital sign control, non-pharmacological techniques for pain relief and opioid reduction.
Conclusions:
the complexity of burn care requires constant updating by the nursing team. Keeping it prepared to carry out the best nursing care practices for burn patients will promote adequate care, patient recovery and reduction of possible harm.

Objectives:
to identify and synthesize scientific evidence on the barriers and difficulties for Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) use and compliance for HIV.
Methods:
an integrative literature review, using the MEDLINE/PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Academic Search Premier and Scopus (Elsevier) databases.
Results:
all (100%) the articles included identified that PrEP users experience some type of structural barrier related to health services such as long distance from the units, suboptimal logistics for taking pills and professional resistance to prescribing PrEP. Furthermore, 63.21% identified social barriers, such as stigma about sexuality and HIV, in addition to individual barriers such as alcohol use, adverse effects, and concerns about long-term toxicity.
Conclusions:
the barriers to PrEP use are multifactorial. Effective interventions are needed to support PrEP users in accessing, complying with, and retaining health services.

Objectives:
to know the violence spoken and felt by disabled people, living in rural areas, from the perspective of their families.
Methods:
a descriptive-exploratory and qualitative study, carried out in four municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Twelve family members who lived with disabled people in rural areas participated. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic content analysis.
Results:
disabled people, living in rural areas, experienced physical, psychological and sexual violence, perpetrated by family members, colleagues, community members and health professionals. Adaptations were mentioned in family dynamics for the care of disabled people, social, financial and leisure impacts, and challenges in access and accessibility to education and health services.
Final Considerations:
violence against this population manifests itself in a reality with socioeconomic and family particularities, marked by exclusion, disrespect and denial of rights and access to fundamental goods and services.

Objectives:
to analyze the quality of child and adolescent care transitions from hospital to home, considering the presence of chronic disease.
Methods:
quantitative, cross-sectional study, carried out from February to September 2019 in two hospitals in the south of Brazil. We used an instrument to characterize participants and the Care Transitions Measure (CTM-15) for the legal tutors of children and adolescents that were discharged from the institutions.
Results:
the general mean of the quality of transition of care was 87.9 (SD=13.4), in a scale from 0 to100). We found a significant difference in the quality of transition of care when comparing patients with and without chronic disease (90.0 and 84.3; p=0.001).
Conclusions:
we found the quality of the transition of care to be satisfactory, with better results for patients with chronic disease. This can help understand the most impactful aspects in the transition of care, especially in regard to children health.

Objective:
to analyze the prevalence and factors associated with inconsistent use of condoms among people living with HIV/ Aids (PLWHA).
Method:

Results:
143 participants met the inclusion criteria, and the prevalence of inconsistent condom use was 28.7%. However, there was greater adherence among men (79.3%). In the multivariate analysis, the independent variable daily use of alcohol (OR=11.02; 95% CI 1.84, 65.92; p = 0.021) was associated with inconsistent condom use. The chance of men making consistent condom use was higher than women (OR = 0.36, 95% CI 0.15, 0.81; p = 0.015).
Conclusion:
the prevalence of inconsistent condom male use among PLWHA was low, however, evidenced greater compliance among men over women with a statistically significant difference and the daily use of alcohol was associated with inconsistent condom use.

to analyze the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with valvular heart disease and to verify the influence of these variables on the impact of valve disease in daily life.
Method:
the study involved 86 outpatients. Data collection was performed in two stages – face-to-face interview for sociodemographic and clinical characterization and through telephone contact for the application of the Instrument to Measure the Impact of Valvular Heart Disease on Patient’s Everyday Life (IDCV). Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.
Results:
it was noticed that the total score of IDCV and its domains were influenced by age, schooling, presence or absence of symptoms, use or not of diuretic.
Conclusion:
The impact of the disease was influenced by sociodemographic and clinical variables. The results provide subsidies for the design of nursing interventions aimed at reducing the impact of the disease on the patient’s daily life with valve disease.

Objective:
To verify the temporal trend of neonatal mortality in the health regions of Pernambuco between 2000 and 2020.
Method:
A time-series ecological study was conducted, analyzing the total neonatal mortality rate and its early and late components. For regression analysis, Joinpoint Regression was applied, trends were classified, and annual and average percentage changes were calculated for the period, with a significance level of 95%.
Results:
The average neonatal mortality rate in Pernambuco was 11.5 during the studied period. A decreasing trend in neonatal mortality rate was observed, especially in the early component. The region where the state capital is located showed the fastest decrease across all components.
Conclusion:
The temporal trend of neonatal mortality was decreasing; however, the rate of reduction was not uniform across the health regions of the state, and the implementation of the Mãe Coruja Pernambucana Program did not impact the trend in neonatal mortality.
