Objective:
To assess the relationship between psychopathological symptoms and the social, clinical, and occupational profile of nurses in the Amazon region of Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional online study was conducted in 2020 with 261 nurses. The Symptom Assessment Scale-40 was utilized.
Results:
The presence of pre-existing conditions before the pandemic was associated with psychotism (p=0.044). Experiencing constraints and/or violence at work during the pandemic was associated with somatization (p=0.025), and working hours were associated with anxiety (p=0.025). Nurses predominantly exhibited symptoms related to fear (33.7%), tension (34.5%), and a sense that something is wrong in the mind (22.6%).
Conclusions:
A significant association was observed between working hours and anxiety symptoms, the experience of constraints and/or violence at work during the COVID-19 pandemic and somatization symptoms, as well as between pre-existing conditions and psychotism symptoms related to COVID-19.

Objective:
to analyze the social representation of spiritual surgeries in Umbanda for Bantu-Amerindian ritual mediums and their contributions to the cross-cultural care proposed by Madeleine Leininger.
Methods:
a descriptive-exploratory, qualitative study, supported by the procedural approach of Social Representation Theory and Transcultural Nursing Theory, carried out with 30 Umbanda mediums of the Bantu-Amerindian ritual through interviews, submitted to the Iramuteq software for lexical analysis.
Results:
mostly women, white, with an average of 46 years old and approximately 14 years of practice in Umbanda participated. The social representation of spiritual surgeries in Umbanda is objectified and anchored through a biomedical vision of care, encompassing a set of beliefs, values and practices as religious treatments, through faith, whose main objective is healing.
Final considerations:
spiritual surgeries are a form of transcultural care, according to Madeleine Leininger’s propositions, as they integrate the culture of a group through health care in Umbanda.

Objective:
to analyze care transition in hospital discharge planning for patients with chronic noncommunicable diseases.
Method:
a qualitative study, based on the Care Transitions Intervention theoretical model, with four pillars of intervention, to ensure a safe transition. Twelve professionals participated in a public hospital in the countryside of São Paulo. Data were collected through observation, document analysis and semi-structured interviews.
Results:
there was a commitment of a multidisciplinary team to comprehensive care and involvement of family members in patient care. The documents facilitated communication between professionals and/or levels of care. However, the lack of time to prepare for discharge can lead to fragmented care, impairing communication and jeopardizing a safe transition.
Final considerations:
they were shown to be important elements in discharge planning composition, aiming to ensure a safe care transition, team participation with nurses as main actors, early discharge planning and family involvement.
