Objectives:
to understand nurses’ experience regarding patient safety in mobile pre-hospital care.
Method:
a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, conducted with nurses active in mobile pre-hospital care services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, audio-graved and submitted to Bardin’s content analysis.
Results:
from four thematic categories established, nurses reported the care and management skills necessary to work in this service. They demonstrated a commitment to ensuring safe care for patients, staff and spectators. They highlighted the actions taken to prevent and mitigate incidents. However, they based their experiences on practice protocols and individual actions, expressing the need to improve knowledge about patient safety.
Final Considerations:
mobile pre-hospital care nurses’ experience in relation to patient safety was limited, suggesting the need for training on the subject, alignment of work processes and implementation of strategies, aiming to guarantee safe care.

Objectives:
to analyze the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on tuberculosis control actions from the perspective of primary health care professionals.
Methods:
this descriptive study with a qualitative approach was conducted from November 2022 to April 2023, using semi-structured interviews with 11 key informant professionals from primary health care units in a Brazilian capital. Data were organized using Atlas.ti 22.0 software and subjected to thematic-categorical content analysis.
Results:
the pandemic scenario caused alterations in the work process, necessitating abrupt adaptations, and led to detrimental impacts on the health of professionals and tuberculosis control actions, which were reduced or discontinued.
Final Considerations:
there was evident unpreparedness and a lack of resources from various governmental levels and health services to handle the public health emergency situation without severe harm to the provision of essential services.

Objectives:
to analyze interobserver agreement in the Reception and Risk Stratification in Obstetrics protocol implementation.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study carried out during Reception and Risk Stratification in Obstetrics implementation, conducted in a tertiary hospital in southern Brazil with 891 participants in January 2020. Descriptive and interobserver agreement analysis was carried out using the Kappa coefficient in the risk stratification assigned by the triage nurse and reviewed by the researcher.
Results:
around half of the calls (55.6%) were stratified as not very urgent (green), followed by urgent (yellow) (31.8%), very urgent (orange) (9.3%), not urgent (blue) (3.4%) and no emerging stratification (red). Agreement analysis of revised stratification found Kappa values of 0.20 (blue), 0.54 (green), 0.77 (yellow) and 0.80 (orange).
Conclusions:
most appointments were non-urgent. The agreement analysis between the revised and assigned risk stratification revealed greater interobserver agreement as the priority level increased.

Objectives:
to understand nurses’ experiences in caring for people with mental health problems hospitalized due to clinical comorbidities in non-psychiatric Inpatient Units.
Methods:
qualitative study, guided by Alfred Schutz’s social phenomenology. Sixteen phenomenological interviews were conducted. The content was analyzed and discussed based on the literature, through the composition of three categories of analysis.
Results:
three categories emerged in the study: Challenges in care faced by nurses; Fragmented care action; and Ideal care. The disarticulation of the clinic was revealed, as described by nurses, showing care as an action far removed from the comprehensiveness of a person. Nurses’ performance is guided predominantly by biomedical reference, disregarding appreciation of subjectivity.
Final Considerations:
it was observed that nurses attribute the responsibility for patient care to factors external to their life-world, when, in fact, these aspects should be components that help them in comprehensive care construction.

Objective:
to identify evidence available in the literature on instruments and methodologies used to assess healthcare professionals’ knowledge about cancer care for the transgender population.
Methods:
a scoping review was conducted in seven databases, including studies that answered the question: what is the healthcare professionals’ level of knowledge about cancer care for the transgender population?
Results:
forty-one articles were selected that dealt specifically with healthcare professionals’knowledge in relation to care for the LGBTQIAPN+ population, especially the transgender population. Eighteen studies assessed patients’ perceptions of professionals’knowledge, whereas other studies used their own assessment tools, considering the global context of LGBTQIAPN+ health.
Conclusions:
there is no tested and validated instrument that assesses the knowledge about the transgender population’s oncological health, highlighting the need to construct and validate an instrument focused on this population’s needs.

Objective:
To identify factors associated with poor sleep quality in elderly dependent individuals in social vulnerability.
Method:
Cross-sectional study with 59 elderly dependent individuals assisted by Family Health Units in São Carlos/SP. The following tools were used: Katz Index, Lawton and Brody Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination Revised, Fried’s Frailty Phenotype, Geriatric Depression Scale (15 items), Perceived Stress Scale, Family APGAR, Social Support Scale from the Medical Outcomes Study, and World Health Organization Quality of Life, abbreviated and “old” versions.
Results:
The majority of participants were women (52.5%), aged 60-74 years (71.1%), and had poor sleep quality (76.2%). Stress (OR=1.12; 95%CI=1.02-1.22) and polypharmacy (OR=7.39; 95%CI=1.22-44.73) increased the chances of poor sleep quality, while physical activity decreased these chances (OR=0.15; 95%CI=0.02-0.79).
Conclusion:
Stress and polypharmacy are associated with poor sleep quality in elderly dependent individuals.

Objective:
To reflect about continuing education from the perspective of Augustine of Hippo and his theories based on the construction of knowledge and the learning process.
Method:
This is a theoretical reflection study whose aim is to propose dimensions of analysis, emphasizing the history and challenges of continuing education. Such dimensions analyze the production of knowledge in Augustinian pedagogy, its historical aspects and its close relationship with lifelong education in health professions.
Results:
The results show the difficulty of continuing education to reach adequate importance in health services, and that of academia in appropriating the thoughts of renowned philosophers such as Augustine. This is a result of ignorance about the convergence of these principles and their relevance.
Final considerations:
Continuing education and Augustinian pedagogy walk hand in hand in terms of care, meeting the needs that originate from practice and that are reflected in it, challenging isolated knowledge and putting different areas of knowledge to work together.

Objective:
To identify scientific evidence regarding the influence of hormonal contraceptive use and the occurrence of stroke.
Method:
Integrative review of the literature, through database search using the descriptors “contraceptive agents“, “contraceptive devices“, “contraceptives, Oral” and “Stroke”. Original studies in Portuguese, Spanish and English, published in full and available online were included. Studies that did not answer our guiding questions and duplicated studies were excluded.
Results:
Women using combined oral contraceptives have higher risk of stroke, even with a lower hormonal dosage and different types of progestogen, regardless of the duration of use. The use of contraceptives associated with smoking, hypertension, migraine, hypercholesterolemia, obesity and sedentary lifestyle increases the chance of stroke. Contraceptive patch and vaginal ring are associated to increased risk.
Conclusion:
Use of combined hormonal contraceptives, except for the injectable and the transdermal ones, increases the chance of occurrence of the event. Progestogen-only contraceptives were considered safe.
