Introduction: COVID-19 manifests with acute symptoms. After coronavirus infection, they may persist or new ones may emerge, compromising functional capacity and self-care. This condition has been named “acute post-COVID-19 syndrome”. Objective: To evaluate functional capacity and self-care in post-COVID-19 patients. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive and exploratory study, which evaluated 53 medical records of patients receiving care in a Functional Recovery Program for acute post-COVID-19 syndrome, conducted at a public university, from August 2022 to August 2023. A descriptive and association analysis was performed using Pearson’s Chi-squared or Fisher’s exact nonparametric tests, with a significance level of 5 % (p < 0.05). Results: Most participants were female, aged over 50 and receiving home care during the infection. Associations were found between the length of hospitalization (p = 0.03), having a history of surgery (p = 0.01), and a medium self-care capacity (p = 0.04) with the functional capacity to perform instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Conclusion: Post-COVID-19 syndrome is associated with medium self-care capacity and partial dependence in terms of IADLs. The finding contributes to the development of health education and care strategies aimed at providing recovery.

Introduction: Understanding the meaning and significance of comfort for people in palliative care can be a challenge for nurses when defining care. Objective: To map the available scientific evidence on nursing care that promotes comfort for people in palliative care. Materials and methods: This is a literature review based on the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A complete search was conducted in the Medline Complete, Cinahl Complete, Scopus, Web of Science, Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal, and OpenGrey databases. Primary studies were included, with quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods designs, published between January 2014 and March 2023, in Portuguese, English, or Spanish. The search syntax was adjusted for each database. A combination of MeSH, text words, and indexing terms using the boolean operators AND and OR was used. Truncation * was used to enhance the search. Results: 681 articles were found, of which 239 were duplicates. A total of 442 studies were analyzed and 409 were excluded for not reflecting the theme. The full texts from 33 articles were retrieved, of which eight were included in the review. Comfort-promoting nursing care integrates the physical, psychospiritual, environmental, and sociocultural dimensions. Of particular relevance are the implementation of pharmacological measures, respect for religious and cultural beliefs, encouragement for the presence of family members, communication, and the relaxation of rules. Conclusions: Promoting comfort for patients in palliative care includes direct care and support for the family. The individualization of care and the response to specific needs can result in relief, ease, and transcendence.

Introduction: The discussion on palliative care in high-tech environments and interventional practice represents one of the various aspects to be considered in the challenge of providing a continuum of wellness in living and dying for the elderly. Objective: To map and identify the existing works in the literature on nursing actions that focus on palliative care for elderly patients in surgical hospitalization settings. Materials and methods: This scoping review was conducted on eight databases, following the Joanna Briggs Institute and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review-Scoping Review guidelines. The following descriptors were used: nursing care; palliative care; elderly; surgery. The inclusion criteria were the following: primary research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical trials. The search was performed in three stages: database listing / pilot test; broad search/application of the “PCC” strategy (population, concept, context); and full reading of the content. A total of 509 productions were retrieved and then managed using the Rayyan® software, of which 13 studies were selected. The protocol was registered in the Open Science Framework. Results: The total population consisted of 10,417 people aged from 60 to 109. The most frequent interventions included the physical dimension, for symptomatic control; the cultural dimension, in which the dilemmas present in an environment with a high expectation for recovery and rigid interventionist protocols were highlighted, as well as the communication dimension, which is a basic tool of palliative care. Conclusions: Elderly people with serious conditions can benefit from palliative care in the perioperative setting. However, there is a need for training nurses in pain management, empowerment to participate in ethical decisions, and training for better communication. It should be noted that evidence on interventions to improve palliative care is still limited by methodological flaws, so rigorous evaluations are needed to measure significant results for patients and care.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges to the nursing staff, who were at the forefront of patient care and their families. Exposed to the virus due to strenuous work schedules and other factors, their health was at risk. However, they took proactive self-care actions to counteract these factors, promote self-health, and prevent the onset of diseases caused by stressors from the pandemic. These actions, identified in the literature published between 2020-2023, have significantly impacted their individual and collective health. Objective: To identify the self-care strategies implemented by nursing professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and to analyze them in the light of Giddens’ theoretical proposal. Materials and methods: An integrative literature review under a descriptive scope was conducted between June and September 2023 in the following databases: Pubmed, Scielo, Science Direct, Lilacs, and Google Scholar; also, PRISMA recommendations were taken into account for the organization of the search. Results: 40 articles, published between 2020 and 2023 and representing for different methodological designs, were included in the review. The self-care implemented by nurses during the pandemic was assessed in the light of Giddens’ theoretical proposal under two types of actions: intentional, which account for physical, mental, and emotional health care activities, and deliberate, which focus on care at a social level. Conclusions: The identified self-care actions were oriented toward the promotion of individual and collective health of workers, the reduction of employee turnover, the recognition of stress, and the strengthening of resilience, which can also be implemented nowadays.

Introduction: Childbirth is recognized as a physiological process essential to procreation and societal development. Nevertheless, it often lacks adequate discussion on humanized care practices. Therefore, it is necessary to identify women’s experiences during vaginal birth care to create practices that ensure better quality care. Objective: To characterize scientific evidence related to women’s experiences during vaginal birth care. Materials and Methods: An integrative review was conducted following Cooper’s methodology; six databases were reviewed: Cochrane, PubMed, Science Direct, Springer, Scopus, and Cinahl, using the descriptors: Normal Birth; Humanized Birth; Humanization of Care; Obstetric Violence; Qualitative Research, in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, limited to the 2010-2023 period, with the following inclusion/exclusion criteria: Qualitative full-text articles on vaginal births with a score of 8 or higher according to CASPe. Results: Six thematic units emerged: microaggressions and macro-impacts: childbirth: between pain and fear; acting with respect: childbirth as a natural process; silencing, enduring, and bearing; my birth, my choice; making the invisible visible: normalizing violence during childbirth; and the ritual of childbirth: women’s dignity. Conclusions: Women’s childbirth experiences are influenced by the cultural contexts in which they live; the biomedical model and traditional practices clash and impact women’s lives. Women must know their reproductive rights to contribute to a humanized childbirth.

Introduction: Alcohol consumption is a complex social practice that plays a role in building and consolidating friendships, as well as creating gender identities. The latter determines the limits of behaviors and defines what is considered appropriate or inappropriate in our daily routine; therefore, alcohol consumption patterns are not independent of gender. Objective: To identify and describe available evidence on the influence of gender on youth alcohol consumption. Materials and method: A review was conducted under JBI and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Original full-text articles published between 2018 and 2023 in the VHL, PubMed, EBSCOhost, Web of Sciences, Epistemonikos, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest databases, without language limitations, were analyzed. The search categories were “Alcohol Drinking” AND “Young Adult” AND “Gender Identity” OR “Gender role”. Results: A total of 403 records were identified, but only 12 studies were included in the synthesis. The main results of these studies showed that both gender identity and gender roles influence alcohol consumption in young adults. Social gender norms may pressure young women to maintain a physical image and young men to maintain a normative public image. Conclusions: Social gender norms influence alcohol consumption behaviors; therefore, it is necessary to take these gender differences into account in nursing interventions and prevention strategies.
导言饮酒是一种复杂的社会行为,在建立和巩固友谊以及形成性别认同方面发挥着作用。后者决定了行为的限度,并界定了在我们的日常生活中什么是适当的,什么是不适当的;因此,饮酒模式与性别无关。目的找出并描述有关性别对青少年饮酒影响的现有证据。材料与方法:根据 JBI 和《系统综述和荟萃分析首选报告项目》(Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, Extension for Scoping Reviews,PRISMA-ScR)指南进行综述。分析了 VHL、PubMed、EBSCOhost、Web of Sciences、Epistemonikos、ScienceDirect 和 ProQuest 数据库中 2018 年至 2023 年间发表的原始全文文章,无语言限制。搜索类别为 "饮酒"、"青少年"、"性别认同 "或 "性别角色"。结果:共搜索到 403 条记录,但只有 12 项研究被纳入综述。这些研究的主要结果表明,性别认同和性别角色都会影响青壮年的饮酒量。社会性别规范可能会迫使年轻女性保持身体形象,迫使年轻男性保持规范的公众形象。结论:社会性别规范影响饮酒行为:社会性别规范会影响饮酒行为;因此,有必要在护理干预和预防策略中考虑到这些性别差异。

Introduction: The association between reduced physical activity and social isolation has been described in the literature, but the relationship between the level of adherence to protective measures among older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of physical inactivity on frailty remains a significant knowledge gap. Objective: To analyze the effects of social distancing and isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on frailty in the elderly and on their physical activities in primary health care in a basic health unit in Brazil. Materials and methods: A prospective cohort study conducted in households and basic health units. In the first wave, before the pandemic, the sample consisted of non-frail elderly (n = 168). After a mean follow-up of 762 days, a second wave was conducted in which the elderly were classified according to their level of exposure to social distancing and isolation (n = 100) and the outcomes “level of physical activity” and “frailty status” were observed. Sociodemographic and clinical questionnaires, the Mini-Mental State Examination, physical markers of frailty, and level of exposure to social distancing and isolation were used. Descriptive statistics, association, survival curves, and proportional hazards regression were used. Results: Of the elderly, 53% transitioned to pre-frailty and 21% showed a decrease in physical activity. There was a high percentage of low adherence to social distancing and isolation, and there was no association with physical activity and frailty (p = 0.288; p = 0.351, respectively). Women had a higher risk of being classified as pre-frail or frail (2.53; 95% CI, 1.01-6.34) and of having a decrease in physical activity (2.13; 95% CI, 1.06-4.26). Conclusion: There was no association between protective measures of social distancing and isolation, physical activity, and frailty. Older people with reduced levels of physical activity should be encouraged to exercise to remain active and avoid the transition to frailty, functional decline, and dependency.

The application of Nursing theories in the care of individuals, human resource training, and research requires the professionals of this field to be convinced of their role in promoting the well-being of human beings —with whom they have care compromises, society in general, and the development of Nursing science. Therefore, there is a need for advancing the evaluation and adaptation of Nursing theories to various contexts, emphasizing their application in scholarly publications within the discipline and other healthcare domains.
