Objectives:
to understand the experiences of indigenous women regarding the pregnancy-puerperal cycle.
Methods:
qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, carried out between May and August 2023 with 27 pregnant women from Indigenous Villages in Mato Grosso, Brazil, through open individual interviews. The data was analyzed using Reflexive thematic analysis.
Results:
data analysis resulted in the following themes: Cultivation of labor and birth in its natural and sacred path; Unique practices and beliefs associated with breastfeeding; Evolved or reductive thinking? The participants suggest inviolable practices and beliefs, which must be welcomed, respected and enhanced by indigenous health teams.
Final Considerations:
the experiences of indigenous women regarding the pregnancy-puerperal cycle are unique and motivated by inviolable cultural and religious beliefs, which transcend scientific knowledge, certainties and the linearity of contemporary approaches, normally established as order.

Objectives:
to unveil the meanings of mothers whose children died as a result of domestic accidents in childhood.
Methods:
a qualitative research, in the light of Heideggerian phenomenology, with ten mothers whose children died from domestic accidents. It was carried out in a municipality of the Northeast Region of Brazil through phenomenological interviews between May and June 2017. The existential analytic was constituted by the comprehensive moments of the Heideggerian method.
Results:
the meanings unveiled pointed out that, to understand the sudden death of her child, the mother oscillates between feeling guilty, pointing and denying guilt. She reports emptiness, permanent pain, non-acceptance of her child’s death, and the desire to keep him in her life. In this journey, the fear that brings limitations to her life and that of her other children is revealed. Final Considerations: it was revealed that the death of the child in infancy compromises the integrality of being a mother, indicating the need for systematic and continuous care for the adequate management of the emotional and social effects.

Objectives:
to discuss the (in)visibility of children with special healthcare needs and their families in the Primary Health Care scenario.
Methods:
experience report about the difficulties faced by researchers from different regions of Brazil to locate children with special healthcare needs in the scope of primary care.
Results:
the main reason for these children and their families to be “unknown” and, therefore, not assisted in PHC, is the fact that they are followed-up by institutions/outpatient clinics and specialized and/or public rehabilitation clinics, or even because they have private health insurance.
Final Considerations:
transferring care responsibility to the Primary Health Care teams to specialized and rehabilitation institutions may be related to the lack of knowledge of the care demands of this group, as well as to the relevance of care centered on rehabilitation and the specialty instead of the long-term care, one of the features of primary health care.

Objective:
To identify the perception of health professionals about neonatal palliative care.
Method:
A phenomenological qualitative study, a non-probabilistic sample, of 15 health professionals from a neonatal intensive care unit in northern Portugal. Content analysis was performed.
Results:
Despite their lack of training in palliative care, the health professionals showed concern for the dignity, quality of life and comfort of the newborn and family. They expressed emotional and relational difficulties in following the trajectories of serious illness and death and in the ethical decisions regarding the end-of-life.
Conclusion:
It is emphasized that professionals are sensitive to pain and suffering and reveal dedicated and committed in the care of the newborn and family. They are available to train and embrace the current challenges posed by the constitution of pediatric palliative care teams and to help achieve an organizational culture that advances in such care.
