Objetivo:
Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son la primera causa de muerte en todo el mundo. La adopción de hábitos de vida que promuevan la salud mantendrá la salud cardiovascular del individuo y reducirá el riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares.
Métodos:
En este estudio descriptivo, se encuestó a 150 profesores de enfermería mediante un método de muestreo no probabilístico (intencional) para evaluar su adhesión a un estilo de vida promotor de la salud con el fin de conocer el riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares. Para ello, se utilizó la versión árabe del Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II).
Resultados:
Setenta y dos profesores de enfermería completaron la encuesta. Los resultados indicaron que la muestra del estudio tenía un nivel moderado de promoción de la salud basado en el Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II.
Conclusión:
Los profesores de enfermería corren el riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades cardiovasculares en función de sus comportamientos de promoción de la salud, ya que obtuvieron una puntuación baja en responsabilidad de salud, actividad física y gestión del estrés. Se recomienda impulsar comportamientos saludables para prevenir enfermedades crónicas como las cardiovasculares.

Objective:
Cardiovascular diseases are the first ranked cause of death worldwide. Adhering to health promoting lifestyle behaviors will maintain an individual’s cardiovascular health and decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Methods:
In this descriptive study, 150 nursing faculty were surveyed via a non-probability (purposive) sampling method to assess their adherence to health promoting lifestyle in order to know the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The Arabic version of Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) was used to achieve this goal.
Results:
Seventy-two nursing faculty completed the survey. The results indicated that the study sample had moderate level of health promotion based on Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II.
Conclusion:
Nursing faculty are at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases based on their health promoting lifestyle behaviors as they scored low level of “health responsibility”, “physical activity”, and “stress management “. Encouraging healthy behaviors is recommended to prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases.

Methods:
a documentary study, with a qualitative approach. The object of analysis were photographic images selected between January 2020 and March 2021, published by the main news portals in countries such as Brazil, the United States, France, Spain, England and Germany. Thematic categorical analysis was the method of analysis used.
Results:
we found 74 photographs that portrayed nursing professionals in different work situations. It was possible to identify stigma and social devaluation about this class’s representation and professional attribution. Moreover, we found an underrepresentation of black professionals in Brazilian portals and the man as the prominent figure in the spaces of claims.
Final Considerations:
the photographs represented an important tool for the social analysis of nursing vulnerability, favoring the unveiling of situations that may go unnoticed by nursing and society.

Objective:
To analyze the effects of the technique of virtual reality guided imagery in the vital signs of hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation patients.
Method:
Quasi-experimental study with 35 participants who received an intervention using virtual reality guided imagery with progressive muscle relaxation, applied three times a week for four weeks in a referral hospital for transplants in the south of Brazil. Data collected included: temperature, arterial pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate, pain, and oxygen saturation, before and after each intervention. The comparisons were analyzed using Wilcoxon’s test.
Results:
There was a clinical significance between the mean measurements before and after for respiratory rate (p=0.00) in all stages, and for the variables Heart rate, Temperature, and Oxygen saturation from the 1st to the 12th measurements (p=0.05).
Conclusion:
The intervention was low cost, easy to apply, and showed positive effects, presenting itself as an option for patient-focused care.

Objective:
To identify and map the technological tools of information and communication to support the teaching learning process in Nursing teaching courses.
Methods:
This is a scoping review whose search was carried out in seven databases and in grey literature. After an initial analysis of the selection, 88 texts were read integrally, and 29 made up the final sample.
Results:
Virtual learning environment and object, simulation, hypermedia, and software or cellphone applications were the tools the nursing professors used the most. Studies highlight that the application of technology was important in the teaching-learning process, since it encouraged teaching based on safe care, motivating and developing abilities/competences, supported on significant, effective, flexible, and autonomous learning.
Conclusion:
The contribution of the technology for nursing formation stands out, but it should be highlighted that its employment must be critical, reflective, based on pedagogical theories and developed by trained professors.

Methods:
Qualitative study conducted with 24 Primary Health Care nurses. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews, recorded and later transcribed. The speeches were grouped in thematic categories, later analyzed, supported by Paulo Freire’s reference.
Results:
The findings showed that the primary care nurses’ knowledge of sarcopenia screening in the elderly was incipient and fragile. This reality is reflected in a gap in practice, although some instruments already require the registration of characteristics indicative of sarcopenia, such as the evaluation of the calf circumference.
Final Considerations:
The need to train nurses to perform sarcopenia screening and to implement a promotional and preventive care plan, which will result in improving the quality of life of the elderly assisted in Primary Care, was highlighted.
