Objective:
To investigate the independent and combined effects of lifestyle behaviors, including physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep duration and food intake, in the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Brazilian adolescents.
Methods:
Cross-sectional school-based study, with the participation of 306 adolescents aged 14 to 18 years. A questionnaire was applied with structured questions to collect lifestyle behaviors data. Perception of the HRQoL was identified using the Kidscreen-27. The study used covariance analysis and linear regression models for statistical analysis.
Results:
Adolescents who reported ≤ 2 hours/day of screen-based sedentary behavior and sleep duration equivalent to 8-10 hours/night presented significantly higher HRQoL. Adolescents who reported joint adherence ≥ 3 healthy lifestyle behaviors demonstrated approximately two [OR=2.12] to three times [OR=3.04] more chance of presenting higher perceptions of HRQoL.
Conclusion:
Although healthy lifestyle behaviors had a positive independent effect on HRQoL, joint adherence to healthy behaviors enhances the cumulative effect.

Objetivo:
Determinar el nivel de autocompasión e investigar las relaciones entre las variables sociodemográficas y la autocompasión entre estudiantes de pregrado de enfermería en una universidad estatal de Indonesia durante la pandemia de COVID-19
Métodos:
Este estudio utilizó un diseño transversal. Las muestras se seleccionaron mediante una técnica de muestreo aleatorio estratificado proporcional (n=260). Los datos se recopilaron utilizando una versión indonesia de la Escala de Autocompasión, que consta de 6 subescalas: bondad propia, autocrítica, humanidad común, aislamiento, atención plena y sobre identificación. Los datos se analizaron mediante análisis univariado y bivariado.
Resultados:
El 60% de los estudiantes tenían autocompasión moderada. Los estudiantes puntuaron más alto en amabilidad consigo mismos (3,93±1,02) y sobre identificación (3,58±0,94), lo que indica que a menudo intentaban amarse a sí mismos cuando sentían dolor emocional y a menudo se dejaban llevar cuando sucedió algo perturbador. Posteriormente, se encontró una correlación significativa entre la edad y la autocompasión (p<0,05).
Conclusión:
La autocompasión entre los estudiantes de enfermería debe mejorarse por medio de intervenciones como la alfabetización de la compasión, el entrenamiento en atención plena y las técnicas experienciales basadas en la compasión.

The results indicated that most of them were women, 20 to 40 years old, married, without another employment bond and with specialization course. They had low control and low demand at work and performed a passive work. Women reported passive work and high stress levels, while men were equally divided in active and passive work with low stress levels.
Conclusion:
Passive work is harmful to health and it is related to lack of autonomy, decision-making, and social support. It may lead to reduced ability to solve problems faced in daily work routine.

Objective:
To discuss the methods employed to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical surface cleaning and disinfection (C&D).
Method:
This is a theoretical reflection based on scientific studies and the experience of the authors. Knowledge and current gaps, the need for further studies, and practical application of the methods were approached.
Results:
There are four main methods used to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical surface C&D: visual inspection, fluorescent markers, microbiological cultures, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence. The first two are used to evaluate the process and to predict adherence to protocols by the staff, and the last two are employed to evaluate the results, therefore being the most relevant to assess the risk of infection.
Final considerations:
The ideal method was not found, because all of them showed limitations. There is a need for strategies to optimize the precision of these methods.
