Objective:
to analyze the sense perception of nursing students in the learning of communication in a psychiatric hospital.
Method:
qualitative, exploratory and descriptive, from representative drawings of the communication perceived by the body senses of 23 nursing students, and recorded enunciation of the remarkable experiences after the end of the practical activities. The data were analyzed according to thematic content.
Results:
the heart captures perceptions, favoring interpersonal relationships; smelling shows care lacking in hospitalization; vision monopolizes the impressions of reality, making the movements static; hearing is exercised in the amplitude to listen; touching demarcates limitations of contact and interaction; and tasting, as social sense, seeks to overcome the obstacles to take care.
Conclusion:
the learning of communication was significant, making the psychiatric hospital a space to listen to what is inside, to find in the emotions and rationalities the sensations that can be inside and outside the tension nodes that interfere in the perceptions.

Objective:
To define the safe transition process from hospital to community of patients with chronic mental disorders and their families.
Method:
This was an action research study included in the constructivist paradigm. The participants in the study were nurses from a psychiatry service and from primary healthcare services.
Results:
After the identification of causes of continuity fragmentation, the following items emerged from the participants’ speeches: a) two criteria categories for safe transition (those associated with health status, dependence level, and self-care capacity of patients, and those associated with knowledge and competence level of informal caregivers); b) the design of an algorithm to facilitate clinical decision-making.
Final considerations:
In order to promote adherence to therapeutic treatment in the hospital-community transition, treatment plans must include patients and their families, and improve communication networks and support among care levels.

Objective:
To analyze and characterize the use of night beds in a Psychosocial Attention Care Center for Alcohol and Drugs (Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Álcool e Drogas – CAPS ad).
Method:
It is a quantitative, documental, descriptive and retrospective study. Data were gathered from 565 medical records. An analysis of continuous variables was performed.
Results:
When admitted to the beds, most users (87.6%) consumed multiple substances daily and were vulnerable, specially in street situation (68.3%). These users were admitted on an average of two times, undergoing a previous evaluation by the nurse (85.8%), usually for detoxication or due to the vulnerable condition. They stayed in the center for an average of seven days and 31.1% did not finish what was proposed. For a few cases, hospital support was needed. Overall, discharges were planned, but the return happened without booking.
Conclusion:
Social issues cut through the use of night beds, however, it is a therapeutic resource that meets significant demands and is present in the daily lives of vulnerable users as a comprehensive care.

Objective:
to adapt culturally and validate the Measuring Instrument of Treatment Adherence for mental health.
Method:
methodological study, carried out with 300 individuals with mental disorders, in two Psychosocial Care Centers in Curitiba, state of Paraná, Brazil, from April to June 2014. The cross-cultural adaptation was developed according to international recommendations, the construct validation was made by exploratory factor analysis, and internal consistency was verified by Cronbach’s alpha.
Results:
through the evaluation of a committee of experts and completion of the pre-testing, face and content validation was achieved. From the factor analysis, we identified two factors of the instrument’s construct: involuntary action and voluntary action, with a total explanation variance of 55.7%. The value of Bartlett’s test of sphericity was p<0.001. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.74.
Conclusion:
the adapted and validated instrument proved to be trustworthy to be applied to the verification of adherence to drug therapy for individuals with mental disorders.

Objectives:
To build and validate a clinical simulation scenario designed to instruct community health workers (CHWs) in active leprosy case detection.
Methods:
Methodological study involving the development of a simulated clinical scenario and content validation by experts. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was used to determine the level of agreement among the judging commitee, and a descriptive analysis of their recommendations was performed.
Results:
A simulated scenario with a simulated participant was developed — a simulation characterized by low complexity, moderate physical/environmental fidelity, moderate to high psychological fidelity, and high conceptual fidelity, lasting 50 minutes and capable of training up to 10 CHWs simultaneously. The scenario was validated by 14 experts, with a CVI exceeding 80% for all components.
Conclusions:
The validated clinical simulation possesses attributes that make it highly reproducible in various national health contexts, thereby contributing to the global “Towards Zero Leprosy” strategy.

Objectives:
to reflect on the ethical dilemmas involved in the care of patients at the end of their lives.
Methods:
this is a theoretical-reflective study based on the ethics of care proposed by Luigina Mortari.
Results:
discussing care involves addressing the ways of being inherent to human existence and understanding the unique characteristics of this condition. Ethical care constitutes an action driven by interest in the other and by the perception of their need. Ethical dilemmas are a part of end-of-life care, making it essential to maintain respectful assistance that considers the patient’s autonomy, using strategies for expressing their wishes, and ensuring continuous clear and empathetic communication among all those involved in providing care.
Final Considerations:
issues related to being, stemming from one’s reality of dependency and vulnerability, contribute to the emergence of ethical dilemmas present in care actions.

Methods:

Results:
Pregnancy and childbirth are life-changing events for women, but during the new coronavirus pandemic, fear and uncertainty have taken on an unprecedented dimension in the negative way that many pregnant women have anticipated and experienced childbirth.
Final considerations:
The current period has accentuated a chronic problem: a paternalistic system of health institutions in the approach to childbirth, dense with additional levels of fear in pregnant women. In this context, addressing the fear of childbirth means not giving up the promotion of safe and positive birth experiences for women.

Objective:
To investigate in the literature the relation of socioeconomic factors in the incidence of the disease and other outcomes related to leprosy.
Method:
Integrative review conducted in Lilacs, Medline, Scopus databases and SciELO online library with studies from 2000 to 2016.
Results:
32 studies were included. Only studies that analyzed statistical associations of socioeconomic factors and outcomes related to leprosy were selected.
Conclusion:
Leprosy is greatly affected by the social context in which the patient is inserted, the chances of exposure to illness are the result of a set of not only individual aspects, but also of contexts or collective conditions. It is imperative for Nursing, as an essential part of the multiprofessional team entrusted with the care and surveillance of the disease, to recognize these factors to predict unfavorable outcomes and to develop new practices capable of reducing inequities.

integrative literature review. The search for primary articles was held in October 2017 in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (through Pubmed), Web of Science and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS).
Results:
the 16 studies analyzed showed that exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was associated with cardiovascular diseases, such as increased blood pressure, heart rate variation, and ischemic heart disease; and respiratory disorders, such as decreased lung function, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, wheeze, coughing, pulmonary wheezing, chest tightness, effort dyspnea, and sore throat.
Conclusions:
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons cause deleterious effects on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems through mutations and cellular inflammation, being a risk to exposed individuals.
