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.

Objectives: to analyze the correlation between coaching leadership exercised by pre-hospital care nurses and sociodemographic and professional aspects.

Methods: an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study, carried out in mobile and fixed pre-hospital care units in Minas Gerais. A total of 79 nurses answered the questionnaires "Characterization of participants with sociodemographic/professional data" and "Nurse Self-Perception Questionnaire in Leadership Exercise Questionnaire".

Results: nurses perceive themselves as exercising coaching leadership (score 83.89). Communication was the dimension with the highest mean of the leadership instrument. Being a cis male nurse influenced the support of the team in this context. Communication was correlated with having a fixed-term contract and not having another employment relationship.

Conclusions: nurses perceive coaching leadership in nursing practice, and men may be more likely to adopt leadership styles that emphasize active support to the team with a focus on results.

Objectives: To evaluate the ratio between early and late mitral filling velocities (E/A) as a prognostic factor for hospitalizations due to cardiovascular causes and mortality in primary care; to identify the main NANDA-I nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes associated with diastolic dysfunction.

Method: 633 individuals were recruited for evaluation of the E/A ratio and characterization of diastolic dysfunction. Multivariate Cox regression with Schoenfeld residual analysis, survival analysis, and hazard ratio estimation were performed.

Results: After six years, crude hazard ratios of 3.47, 3.60, 3.02, and 0.41 were identified for classes II and III diastolic dysfunction at cut-off points 1 and 2, respectively (p<0.01). Nursing diagnoses of Activity Intolerance, Anxiety, Fatigue, and Deficient Knowledge should be prioritized.

Conclusion: The E/A ratio showed an altered pattern in most participants without a diagnosis of heart failure, which may indicate a subclinical form of the condition.

Objectives: to analyze the association between emotional responses in health work and physical and mental health conditions with compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue in nursing professionals from a Brazilian capital.

Methods: a cross-sectional study, carried out from August 2023 to July 2024 with 95 nursing professionals from a public hospital. Professional Quality of Life, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress scales and characterization questionnaires were applied. The analysis was carried out by effect size and multiple linear regression.

Results: satisfaction was associated with depression, desire to change profession, indifference to distress, and meaning of life at work. Fatigue was related to stress, alcohol use, skills to intervene in distress, and perception that working conditions impact willingness to care.

Conclusions: negative emotional responses at work and mental health are associated with lower satisfaction and greater compassion fatigue in nursing professionals.

Objective: to identify the prevalence of depression and its association with anxiety levels among military police officers.

Methods: a cross-sectional study, conducted with active military police officers, using the Beck Depression Inventory and the Beck Anxiety Inventory, both validated for the Brazilian context. Multivariate logistic regression analyses verified associations.

Results: the sample consisted of 672 military police officers, with a prevalence of depression of 34.5%. Police officers with depression presented significantly higher levels of anxiety. Anxiety was a significant predictor of depression, with each one-point increase in anxiety score being associated with a 1.20-fold increase in the odds of depression (adjusted Odds Ratio = 1.20; 95% Confidence Interval 1.16-1.24; p < 0.001).

Conclusions: the high prevalence of depression and its association with anxiety highlight the need to implement prevention and mental health promotion actions among military police officers.

Objectives: to estimate the prevalence of overweight/obesity and identify associated factors among health professionals.

Methods: this cross-sectional study included professionals who had worked for at least six months in critical units of nine hospitals in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil. Sociodemographic, occupational, anthropometric, and health condition data were collected. Poisson regression with robust variance was applied to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) using SPSS 20.0.

Results: a total of 490 health professionals participated, 65.9% were women, and 49.7% were aged 30-39 years. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 61.8%. Associated factors included age ≥ 30 years, ≥ 5 years working in healthcare, elevated triglycerides, and elevated blood pressure.

Conclusions: the prevalence of overweight/obesity among health professionals was high and associated with sociodemographic, occupational, and health factors, underscoring the need for support to promote lifestyle changes in this workforce.

Objectives: to understand the relationship between falls and perceptions of quality of life among older adults.

Methods: this is a descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach, conducted with older adults in the Family Health Strategy of Itumbiara, Goiás, using Bardin's content analysis.

Results: analysis of interviews with 26 older adults revealed four thematic axes: Fall dynamics, circumstances and associated factors; Physical and emotional repercussions of falls; Spirituality and social support network; and Perceptions and suggestions for a safer life. Falls increase older adults' fragility and vulnerability, affect their health, dependence and functional capacity and tend to be normalized and trivialized by older adults themselves.

Final considerations: falls impact older adults' physical and emotional health. It is necessary to raise awareness about the causes, consequences and prevention of this event, in order to promote healthy and active aging.

Objectives: to understand how mindfulness practice helps alleviate distress among postpartum inpatients at a public maternity hospital.

Methods: this intervention study was carried out between March and June 2022 with 19 postpartum women. Data were collected through interviews conducted before and after eight mindfulness sessions and analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results: mindfulness fostered self-regulation, attentional control, emotion regulation, a change in perspective on the self, and increased body awareness. It also reduced fear, anxiety, and stress.

Final considerations: by becoming aware of the physical and emotional sensations of their bodies, postpartum women engaged in a reflective process that helped alleviate distress during the postpartum period.
