Objectives: to assess oncology nurse navigators' performance in surgical patients with head and neck cancer.

Methods: this observational, retrospective cohort study analyzed oncology nurse navigators' performance, comparing the intervention group (monitored by a nurse navigator) and control group (institutional flow).

Results: a total of 160 patients were included: 40 in the intervention group and 120 in the control group. The intervention group showed a 28-day reduction in speech-language pathology visits, 26 in psychology visits, 31 in social services visits, and ten in CT scan visits. The intervention group also saw a 53% reduction in emergency room visits and a 20% reduction in "Hello, Nurse" calls.

Conclusions: oncology nurse navigators' performance contributed to reducing the time for surgery, staging tests, care with a multidisciplinary team, better adherence to treatment, reduction of "Hello, Nurse" calls and visits to the emergency room, thus confirming oncology nurse navigators' relevance in the oncology care center.

Objectives: to map scientific evidence regarding recommended nursing care for individuals with mental disorders in mobile prehospital care.

Methods: a scoping review, according to the JBI methodology. Research conducted in seven databases, eight catalogs of theses and dissertations, national guidelines/protocols, and international guidelines, in any language and without time limit.

Results: of the 4,184 publications, 23 were selected and comprised the final sample. Four domains were identified (safety and protection of people with mental disorders, professionals and third parties; assessment of individuals with mental disorders; management of individuals with mental disorders; important aspects regarding mechanical restraint), subdivided into 27 nursing care practices.

Conclusions: the nursing care recommended for people with mental disorders in mobile pre-hospital care included risk prevention, effective communication, scene management, behavioral management, attention to suicidal emergencies, as well as aspects related to mechanical restraint and non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions.

Objectives: to map, in the scientific literature, instruments used to assess anxiety and stress among expectant parents during pregnancy.

Methods: we conducted a scoping review guided by the JBI and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, searching the databases CINAHL, MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and the Open Access Scientific Repositories of Portugal. Quantitative studies were included with no restrictions on time or language.

Results: we identified 16 instruments (10 for anxiety and 6 for stress), predominantly applied to pregnant women in the third trimester.

Conclusions: studies involving expectant fathers are scarce. To better understand their feelings and needs, it is essential to apply instruments that assess anxiety and stress, thereby supporting anticipatory care. Developing and validating instruments with expectant parents (both men and women) across the trimesters of pregnancy will broaden professionals' and the public's knowledge on this issue.

Objectives: to investigate scientific literature on time of use and microbiological safety of multipurpose systems with anti-reflux valves in magnetic resonance and computed tomography scan.

Methods: scoping review conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews, structured with guiding question formulation; relevant study careful search/screening; systematic data organization/extraction; comparative analysis, and synthesis of results.

Results: of the 276 studies found, 55 duplicates were excluded. After initial screening by reading titles and abstracts, 14 of 221 studies were selected, six of which were read in full and 12 were excluded because they did not answer the guiding question. The final set of selected studies comprised two scientific articles.

Final considerations: the multipurpose system with anti-reflux valves in magnetic resonance and computed tomography scan showed that there is only scientific evidence of absence of bacterial contamination for up to eight hours of use in radiology.

Objectives: to describe and analyze the social relevance of Professor Taka Oguisso's investiture as the first member of the Brazilian Academy of Nursing History.

Methods: this is a qualitative, biographical, and historical study, using the interview method with the first academician. The material was analyzed from the perspective of content analysis, as outlined by Bardin, and the categories identified were discussed within the theoretical framework of philosopher Claude Dubar.

Results: three categories were identified, namely the social relevance of investiture as an academic member, the creation of a rite of investiture, and signs and symbols in the process of building a professional nursing identity.

Final considerations: the investiture rite and the symbols used contribute to the process of constructing the academic's professional identity, promoting recognition and belonging in the organization's social groups, as well as protecting its members from the risk of losing their identity.

Objectives: to analyze the contributions of an awareness-raising workshop to nursing professionals' knowledge about continuing health education.

Methods: strategic action research, developed with 25 nursing professionals from a private hospital, located in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data were collected between January and August 2024, using a questionnaire with open questions, before and after an awareness-raising workshop. A data discursive textual analysis was performed.

Results: the central category "Understanding about continuing health education" emerged, unitized in five categories of analysis that dealt with the (lack of) knowledge about continuing health education and the Continuing Health Education Center, a scenario that changed after awareness raising.

Conclusions: it was revealed that there was a lack of knowledge or superficiality about the topic before the awareness-raising sessions. Afterwards, it was possible to identify the expansion of knowledge, both in its conceptual and functional aspects. Awareness-raising workshops contribute to transformation of knowledge.

Objective: to reflect on the historical role of nurses in tuberculosis prevention in Brazil, considering their inclusion in public policies and advances in Primary Health Care.

Development: based on documents from the World Health Organization, the Ministry of Health, and the literature, this study reflected on nursing care management for people with tuberculosis infection over a century in Brazil.

Results: the role of this professional in the formulation and implementation of preventive public policies for tuberculosis stands out, since 1920, in education, vaccination, home care and, recently, coordinating care management in Primary Care. Competencies have been expanded, supported by resolutions and opinions, consolidating the role of nurses in clinical and managerial practices, particularly in tuberculosis preventive treatment.

Final considerations: the Interministerial Committee and the Healthy Brazil Program are currently reinforcing intersectoral action and the leading role of nurses, strengthening their contribution to the national response against tuberculosis.

Objectives: to investigate the work process of nurses in relation to nursing consultations in childcare.

Methods: exploratory research with a mixed approach, in which quantitative data were collected concomitantly with qualitative data. Nurses and managers were included in the research.

Results: interviews were conducted with nine nurses and eight managers of Family Health Strategy units in the Central-West region of Minas Gerais. After analysis, four thematic categories emerged: Most common guidelines during childcare nursing consultations; Advances in childcare nursing consultations; Challenges in childcare nursing consultations; and Nurses' role in childcare consultations.

Final considerations: nurses are the professional interlocutors of actions involving child care and monitoring in the Health Care Network, but there are challenges that need to be overcome in order to improve coverage in the care of these children and their families, aiming for comprehensiveness and longitudinality.

Objectives: to describe the construction and validation of a mobile application on sensitive periods of child development.

Methods: methodological research focused on the technological development and validation of software, in the form of a mobile application, conducted from March to October 2023 in two stages: 1) construction of the BASENP mobile application and 2) content and appearance validation by experts.

Results: content experts evaluated the material, resulting in a total Content Validity Index of 0.89. Experts in the field of information and communication technology obtained an Agreement Index of 0.86%. The binomial test was not significant for the majority of items in both groups.

Conclusions: the application was developed and validated with methodological rigor and may contribute to improving knowledge and care provided to infants.

Objectives: to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and validate the Menstrual Practice Needs Scale for the Brazilian context.

Methods: a methodological study, following the stages: initial translation; synthesis; back-translation; synthesis; review by a committee of experts; pre-test; and submission and approval by the author. The committee was composed of 11 judges. Pre-test collection was carried out from July to October 2023 in a city in Mato Grosso do Sul, with 360 high school students. The analysis used the Content Validity Index and Cronbach's alpha.

Results: the committee achieved a Content Validity Index of 96.7%, but adjustments suggested by judges were incorporated without further analysis. The version was approved for pre-testing, presenting a Cronbach's alpha of 0.78, with no doubts or suggestions for modification.

Conclusions: the cross-cultural adaptation and validity of the scale for Brazilian Portuguese were considered adequate for application in the target population.
