Objectives: to describe the process of developing and validating a serial album on prenatal care aimed at pregnant women and health professionals.
Methods: participatory action research that considered technological production guided by the following stages: identification of the need for change; theoretical and documentary survey; technological proposal; analysis by experts and validation by pregnant women. The analysis by experts considered the Content Validity Index.
Results: the Content Validity Index obtained an overall score of 0.92, and the pregnant women performed the assessment with 100% agreement between items. The serial album on prenatal care proved to be effective in qualifying prenatal care, especially with regard to promoting autonomy, critical thinking, and strengthening the professional-user bond.
Conclusions: the serial album developed was considered valid by pregnant women and health professionals and has the potential for replication in the context of primary health care, with a view to improving the quality of prenatal care.

Objectives: to understand, in light of Anthony Giddens' Structuring Theory, how military nursing professionals act in tactical pre-hospital care, highlighting training, management, and care practices in risk contexts, and structural challenges that put pressure on their practice.
Methods: a qualitative, descriptive study with 15 participants recruited through chain sampling. Data collection took place between March 2023 and January 2024 using semi-structured interviews. The corpus was processed in Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires and analyzed using Descending Hierarchical Classification.
Results: four classes emerged, organized into three axes: leadership in training; resource management in hostile environments; challenges related to communication and scarcity of supplies.
Conclusions: military nursing demonstrates agency by adapting practices and producing innovation even in the face of rigid hierarchical structures. Tactical pre-hospital care must be institutionalized, investing in training, technologies, and scientific production that consolidate this field as strategic for operational health.

Objectives: to analyze the implementation of the Advanced Access method in a Family Health Unit from the perspective of the team's healthcare professionals.
Methods: qualitative research, using participant observation techniques and semi-structured interviews, carried out with 19 members of the multidisciplinary team of a Basic Health Unit in the countryside of São Paulo from February 2019 to March 2020.
Results: the results indicate satisfaction and greater problem-solving, but with compromised longitudinality and comprehensiveness of care due to deficit in team size, population size, and care for chronic patients. The categories of analysis found were "The context of Advanced Access in the access dimensions" and "Nursing as a power for the Advanced Access model".
Conclusions: the implementation of Advanced Access and its success must consider the history and context of Primary Health Care in each unit and in municipal policy.

Objectives: to identify how the nursing team perceives tacesic nonverbal communication during transfusion and describe how this perception influences hemotherapy care.
Methods: a descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach, anchored in Hall's proxemic communication theory. Participant observation and interviews were carried out with 25 nursing professionals in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro. The data collected between April and December 2022 were analyzed using thematic content.
Results: three categories emerged: Meanings of touch for the hemotherapy nursing team during the transfusion act; Nonverbal tacesic body signals and expressions emitted during nursing care in the transfusion act; and The different types of touch in hospital transfusion nursing practice.
Final considerations: touch marks the sensitive quality of the nursing team's care and has a positive effect on the client's affective dimension during the transfusion act.
