Objective:
to construct a prototype of a mobile application on psychological violence against women to facilitate nurses’ continuing education.
Method:
an applied methodological research of technological development, based on the Contextualized Instructional Design method.
Results:
the prototype content was based on the learning objectives developed through a narrative review, which guided an integrative review to compile the information. The prototype is called “EmpodereEnf”, and is composed of an initial screen, bringing nurses as a target audience, and, soon after, offering nine general moblets for access to information such as: concepts, causes, manifestations and consequences of psychological violence; means for identification and approach in nursing consultation and health education; compulsory notification and referral; examples of cases of psychological violence and references.
Final considerations:
the prototype is a possibility for future coping interventions and a work tool for nurses in the face of psychological violence against women.

Objectives:
to understand the relationship between workloads and institutional violence in Family Health Strategy managers’ practice.
Methods:
qualitative research using theoretical triangulation and data from semi-structured interviews. Participants were 35 managers of Basic Health Units in the five Regions of Brazil, who worked in the Family Health Strategy. We used thematic analysis and ATLAS.ti for data analysis.
Results:
workloads were analyzed, showing relationships with institutional violence. Thematic categories emerged: “related to the management work itself”; “related to other instances of health system management”; “related to users and community”. There was an interrelationship between increased managers’ workloads and institutional violence.
Final Considerations:
the Family Health Strategy is relevant for universal access to health and requires favorable institutional conditions for its effectiveness. Adverse scenarios lead to increased workloads, approaching institutional violence.

Objectives:
to analyze self-care deficit among older men in the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and to discuss the implications for nursing practice.
Methods:
web survey, multicentric, qualitative. A total of 120 older men participated, applying a form from April to June 2020 and April to August 2021. Reflective Thematic Analysis, interpreted by Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory, was used.
Results:
temporally, the self-care of older men was manifested in the self-care requirements – affective bonds, self-care for development – meditation and self-care with health deviations – remote consultations. Fully, partially compensatory, educational/support systems mobilized self-care.
Final Considerations:
as care managers, nurses can strengthen the support network for older men by activating professionals from the multidisciplinary team, family members, caregivers and the community to promote self-care and correct health deviations in times of crisis.

The ethical and bioethical being permeates a subjective and abstract self, whose fears, anxieties and concerns are intertwined with the human and professional dimensions in daily work and in personal-professional relationship. Ethics and bioethics perceptions emerge from subjectivity, established relationships, lived experiences and daily actions of nurses essential to the profession, professionals and individuals to be cared for.
Final Considerations:
ethical and bioethical perceptions and attitudes are essential to care, management and organizational actions, health care, and the safety of users and professionals.
