    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to understand the trajectory of adolescents regarding the first pregnancy, contemplating realities and perspectives.

    Method:

    qualitative study, based on the Schütz theoretical framework, with 30 adolescents assisted in an outpatient clinic for adolescents in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. From the narrative interviews carried out in the first semester of 2013, in the return for the first consultation of the puerperium, the communicative processes were identified, the central ideas and units of meanings expressed in the themes were abstracted: I was dating and became pregnant; realities and perspectives.

    Results:

    adolescents justified pregnancy through sexual drive and insufficient prevention; they narrated the fear faced, difficulties in motherhood and continuity of studies. The realities coexisted with the prospects of family members and partners helping to educate the child to achieve a different future from what they themselves experienced.

    Final considerations:

    adolescents experienced motherhood with ambivalent conflicts because they were young mothers, but they wanted to raise and educate their children, even those with minimal living conditions.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    Identify the barriers and facilitators of health advocacy to users delivered by nurses from the Family Health Strategy.

    Method:

    Qualitative study carried out with nurses from the Family Health Strategy of a city in the south of Brazil. Study participants were 15 nurses, who were interviewed. The content of the interviews was recorded, transcribed and analyzed in the light of the discursive text analysis.

    Results:

    Two categories emerged, one about the lack of organization at the workplace, bureaucracy and limitations to professional work in health environments, and another about the facilitating aspects to exercise advocacy both individually and collectively.

    Conclusion:

    When nurses, provided with technical, scientific and relational knowledge, are empowered to make decisions, they are not only supported by other professionals at work but also develop actions of health advocacy to users, thus qualifying the care delivered.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    to translate and adapt Quality of Care Through the Patient’s Eyes – HIV (QUOTE-HIV) for the Brazilian population living with HIV/AIDS.

    Method:

    a methodological study, which followed the stages of translation, synthesis, back-translation, evaluation by the committee of experts and pre-test for cultural adaptation of the instrument.

    Results:

    the process of translation and cultural adaptation was considered adequate. Evaluation by the expert committee resulted in semantic, structural and grammatical adequacy of the evaluated items. 30 subjects considered the instrument to be easy to understand and suggested minor adjustments in some items.

    Conclusion:

    the Brazilian version of QUOTE-HIV has been adapted and validated in relation to its content. However, this is a study that precedes the process of evaluating the psychometric properties of the instrument, the results of which will be presented in a later publication.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To analyze the knowledge, religious beliefs and the adoption of preventive measures against HIV/AIDS of non-Catholic elderly women.

    Method:

    A qualitative study, carried out in religious institutions of a municipality in the state of Ceará, Northeast Brazil, with 78 elderly women. Of these, 64 were evangelicals, seven spiritualists and seven Jehovah’s Witnesses. A semi-structured interview script was used followed by thematic content analysis of participants’ responses.

    Results:

    After analyzing the empirical data, three categories were elaborated: the first presented the knowledge they had about AIDS; the second, highlighted the beliefs attributed to people with HIV/AIDS; and the third, presented the preventive measures to HIV/AIDS adopted by them.

    Final considerations:

    There were participants with knowledge gaps and failure to use preventive measures against HIV/AIDS. They suggested that religious institutions can be venues for lectures on HIV/AIDS prevention.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To explore the construct elaborated by the mother on the meaning of violence against the child and to identify, according to the mother’s perspective, which measures are most used for the prevention of this phenomenon.

    Method:

    This is a qualitative research, with the participation of thirty mothers, in a health service in the city of Ananindeua, in the state of Pará, Brazil. The methodology consisted of the categorical content analysis, which identified three categories: Violence, Threats of violence and Protective measures.

    Results:

    The research showed that mothers attribute different meanings to violence, but the physical and sexual violence were markedly the most highlighted, and the dialogue was the most used protective measure.

    Conclusion:

    It is essential to strengthen public policies through effective interventions, seeking solutions to address this phenomenon in all segments of society.

    ABSTRACT

    Objective:

    To discuss the challenges and perspectives of nursing education in times of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Methods:

    Reflection study, with theoretical approach based on national and international publications, allied to the experience of researchers in the area of nursing education.

    Results:

    Four sections are identified: Nursing education: current affairs and perspectives; Education and technologies in time of pandemic: acceleration, alteration and paralysis; Difference between emergency, intentional and remote teaching; the return to the “new normality”: new structuring axes and legal norms.

    Final considerations:

    The conclusion is that longstanding challenges have emerged with the pandemic, and the processes of acceleration, change and paralysis have marked education in these times. Moreover, epidemiological, technological and psychological aspects should be more valued in the return to activities.

    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

    Objectives:

    to analyze the scientific evidence on the strategies of active learning methodologies used in the training of nurses, as well as their contributions and obstacles in training.

    Methods:

    integrative literature review conducted with 33 selected articles in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Nursing Database, Scopus, Web of Science and Education Resources Information Center databases.

    Results:

    among the strategies, simulation, problem-based learning and flipped classroom were highlighted. The active search, the integration of theory and practice and group work were examples of contributions to the training of nurses. However, the lack of preparation of the actors and the lack of structural support contribute to the dissatisfaction of the students.

    Final Considerations:

    the active learning methodology places the student at the heart of the learning process, favors critical thinking and the ability to make decisions.

    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.
