Objectives:
to characterize the sociodemographic and psychological aspects of university students who sought psychiatric care at a Student Support Center of a Federal University and to analyze associations between mental health issues and predisposing factors.
Methods:
a retrospective analysis of 103 medical records was conducted. The statistical analysis consisted of two steps: a descriptive analysis and a predictive analysis using the Logistic Regression Model.
Results:
the majority of the students were female. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia were the main reasons for seeking care. Students who reported having emotional difficulties that negatively impacted their studies and those who had undergone some form of health treatment showed a higher probability of experiencing anxiety symptoms. Notable correlations were found between anxiety and emotional difficulties, depression and diarrhea, and insomnia and a sedentary lifestyle.
Conclusions:
symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia led students to seek psychiatric care at the university. Understanding the predisposing factors for mental health issues in university students can inform care strategies and promote academic success.

Objectives:
to build and validate an educational technology to empower patients as participants in their own care.
Methods:
methodological study to develop an educational technology based on the elaboration, validation, and evaluation that were carried out in five stages at a teaching hospital in Amazonas.

Objectives:
to identify variables associated with nursing students’ anxiety-related clinical practice.
Methods:
this study used a correlational quantitative descriptive design with the STROBE equator instrument. The population is 233 nursing students with a sample of 135. Data were collected from March to April 2022 using validated instruments.
Results:
the Chi-square test and the sig likelihood ratio on the gender, educational background, and learning environment is more than 0.05 so there is no significant relationship between the variables and student anxiety.

Objectives:
to describe the training profile of Brazilian intensive care nurses.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study carried out in two stages: a structured, self-administered questionnaire; mapping of the national supply of lato sensu postgraduate courses. Data was collected on the sociodemographic profile, training process and characterization of the courses.
Results:
in the first stage, 202 respondents were obtained. The majority were women (79.2%), aged between 26 and 45 (80.7%), graduated less than 5 years ago (44%), through lato sensu postgraduate courses (55.5%), which were marked by the absence of laboratory practice (57.5%) and guided tours (42.5%). In the second stage, 457 courses were identified, with face-to-face teaching (58.9%), a workload of 360 to 420 hours (51.2%), a duration of up to 6 months (41.8%) and variation in the sub-area of training.
Conclusions:
there was a predominance of professionals graduating from lato sensu post-graduate courses, with essentially theoretical teaching and heterogeneity in terms of modality, workload and sub-area of training.

Objectives:
to identify the strategies found in the literature for increasing vaccination coverage among children in Brazil. It is justified mainly by the current scenario of falling vaccination coverage.
Methods:
systematic literature review. The search was carried out in the Pubmed (MEDLINE), Embase and Scopus databases, following the PRISMA guidelines.
Results:
initially, 4,824 results were returned. In the end, 6 studies were included for narrative synthesis using the SWiM methodology. Of these, 50% dealt with studies related to the Bolsa Família Program (PBF). The others explored strategies for approaching parents directly, Rapid Vaccination Monitoring (MRV) and the Community Health Agents Program (PACS). The PBF did not guarantee compliance with the conditionality of keeping vaccinations up to date. The MRV and PACS are effective strategies, especially because they allow active search for absentees.
Conclusions:
we conclude that more publications are needed on strategies to increase vaccination coverage among children in Brazil.

Objectives:
to understand how healthcare waste management is developed by nursing professionals in hospitals.
Methods:
qualitative research, whose theoretical and methodological frameworks were Complexity Theory and Grounded Theory. Thirty-two nursing professionals from a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were used.
Results:
nursing affects healthcare waste management multidimensionally. Shortage of materials and work overload were identified as factors that influence professionals’ decision-making and increase the risk of improper waste disposal. The lack of knowledge on the subject also influences nursing practice. However, professionals value actions related to hazardous waste.
Final Considerations:
nursing professionals recognize themselves in healthcare waste management and understand the need to develop systemic awareness for sustainable practice.
