Objective:
to study anxiety and spirituality and the relationship between them in university students.
Method:
the State-Trait-Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Pinto and Pais-Ribeiro Spirituality Scales were used for data collection.
Results:
six hundred and sixty-nine students participated in the study, of whom 91.5% had moderate and high levels of trait anxiety and 92.9% of state anxiety; 93.8% had high spirituality scores. The multiple linear regression test showed a signifi cant relationship between anxiety and the presence of physical discomfort, unusual body movements, and the need for treatment. Furthermore, higher levels of anxiety were associated with the female gender, the lack of leisure activities, and low levels of optimism in the spirituality scale.
Conclusion:
it is important to develop strategies for coping with anxiety, which in turn can be oriented toward protective factors such as spirituality.

Methods:
This was a multiple case study with a qualitative approach whose data were obtained from interviews with coordinators of providers contracted by the corporations of health insurance plans in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The data were submitted to Critical Discourse Analysis.
Results:
Home care has been described as the main action in the fi eld of health promotion transferred to the providers, followed by management of patients and cases, and the health education.groups.

Objective:
to identify factors associated with depressive symptoms in elderly caregivers with chronic pain.
Method:
the study included people 60 years of age or older who reported chronic pain and cared for another elderly person living in the same household (n=186). Statistical analyzes were performed using the Mann-Whitney test, univariate and multiple logistic regression.
Results:

Univariate analysis showed that the variables family income, number of diseases, number of medications in use, pain intensity, overload and perceived stress were associated with depressive symptoms. Multivariate analysis found an association with perceived stress (95% CI 1.101-1207) and number of medications (95% CI 1.139-1.540) in use.

Objective:
to analyze the level of stress and sleep quality in nursing students according to terms of the nursing program.
Method:
descriptive and cross-sectional research developed in a higher education institution in Northeastern Brazil on 167 students. We used data collection, sociodemographic information, and a scale for assessing stress and sleep quality in nursing students.
Results:
we identified a statistically significant difference between domains of the stress scale and the terms of the undergraduate program, and between the quality of sleep and such terms such as as in the fourth and sixth semesters.
Conclusion:
different stress scores show that the semester which concerns students the most is the fifth. Quality of sleep was deemed good for the first, third, fifth, seventh, and eighth semesters; and poor for the fourth and sixth terms.
