Background: Elderly caregivers present increased physical and mental health problems. These factors can lead to a lack of autonomy and a need for social support. This study aims to analyse the relationships between perceived social support and mental health status in elderly caregivers aged 65 and older. Methods: a cross-sectional study based on data from the Spanish National Health Survey (ENSE-17) carried out on 7023 people. The study population was restricted to 431 caregivers aged ≥65 years. A study of the correlation between the mental health state and the perceived social support was carried out. Both variables were related to the sex of the caregiver. Results: Perceived social support by older caregivers is significantly related to mental health (p = 0.001), and stress (p < 0.001). Also, there is a significant relationship between perceived social support and mental well-being (p = 0.001), self-esteem (p = 0.005) and stress (p = 0.001) in older women caregivers. Conclusions: Older caregivers have adequate mental well-being and perceive high social support. Perceived social support can contribute to improving the mental well-being of older caregivers.

Objective: to develop a multi-platform mobile application for the prevention of musculoskeletal risk factors related to nursing work in a hospital unit and to evaluate the usability criteria with nurses and computer professionals. Method: technological production study for the development of a mobile application, following the phases of software engineering: analysis of requirements, design and specification, construction, internal tests, maintenance and external evaluation. The product was evaluated for usability by nurses from public hospital units in the city of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). The System Usability Scale instrument was used for the evaluation of the nurses and the instrument of heuristics of compliance of digital interfaces was used with the informational technology professionals. The application development period lasted from November 2017 to March 2018 and the usability assessment from March to May 2018. Results: the evaluation data showed that the application shows agreement and compliance with the principles of usability in the criteria of effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction, however, the evaluators suggest that the application's functionalities should be simplified. Conclusion: the application was designed as a care strategy for the nursing professional, considering the musculoskeletal risks which they are exposed to in their professional activities. The development and evaluation methods were satisfactory and the proposed objectives were achieved.

Objective: to know innovative pedagogical experiences developed by professors in the teaching of psychiatric nursing and mental health in undergraduate nursing courses at public universities in Rio de Janeiro State. Method: based on an ethnomethodological approach, individual semi-structured interviews and document analysis were carried out according to content analysis. Results: despite the heterogeneity in the curriculum distribution of psychiatric nursing’s and mental health’s knowledge, the themes taught have similarities. The perceptions of innovation are mainly related to interdisciplinary practices and teaching, relational, and care technologies. Innovative teaching practices are focused on the use of active methodologies and collaborative activities. Final considerations: innovating teaching requires creating strategies to teach people how to care for people, valuing human uniqueness. Student participation in health services is the key to the dialogue between knowledge produced in academia and that mobilized in health services.

Objective: to analyze the technological production of three professional master programs in the area of Nursing. Method: documentary research on primary sources. A total of 100 graduate nurses from three professional master’s programs in Nursing in the Southeastern region of Brazil were analyzed, based on the following variables: time of training, typology of products; context of products and technological and educational classification, welfare and management. The study was guided by the question: “How is the technological production of the dissertation of the professional master’s degree according to typology, context and technological classification? The analysis of the data was based on the construction of a table that categorized the products according to the typology. Results: development of techniques was the main type of product found, being expressed by flowcharts, protocols, guidelines and training courses. The products were mostly developed in the hospital context, in the educational technology format. Conclusion: the technological production of the analyzed programs is restricted, diffuse and, in its majority, of low social impact and has no relevance in the body of the dissertation. Despite the wide possibility of conclusion work, the dissertation, accompanied by an article and/or technical productions, is the main form of presentation.

Objective: to carry out a literature review to characterize the production in the Nursing area about the use of movies and videos in Nursing education, related to underlying communication assumptions and contents taught. Method: integrative bibliographic review carried out in the PUBMED databases, CAPES journal portal, and SCIELO online library, with studies from 2007 to 2016. Results: 36 articles were included, in which audiovisual resources are part of the research subject. There are predominance of validation and effectiveness studies, in which audiovisual resources are used mostly as a reproduction of reality, mainly to develop clinical skills, with the purpose of illustrating procedures or bringing students closer to real contexts of action. Final considerations: the results point to a weak theoretical support of most of the studies. It is suggested that more empirical research be conducted to offer more consistent contributions to Nursing teaching.

Diante da pandemia pela COVID-19 a principal ocupação dos adolescentes, os estudos, sofreu uma mudança abrupta com o isolamento social e a suspensão das aulas presenciais podendo acarretar sofrimento emocional a esse grupo. Objetivo: Identificar manifestações emocionais dos adolescentes escolares diante da pandemia por COVID 19 e estratégias de manejo emocional por eles adotadas. Método: Estudo exploratório-descritivo, realizado a partir da articulação Universidade-Atenção Básica-Escola. Foi enviado um questionário do Google Forms, via plataforma escolar aos adolescentes estudantes do ensino médio de uma escola pública da cidade de Niterói-RJ. Após um mês de disponibilização do questionário 15 estudantes responderam. Para análise dos dados calcularam-se as estatísticas apropriadas e as frequências absolutas e percentuais. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa – Parecer Nº 3.671.594. Resultados: As principais emoções expressas pelos adolescentes escolares diante da Pandemia foram cansaço (63,6%), tristeza (45,5%), saudades do colégio e dos amigos (45,5%), falta das aulas presenciais (18,2%), indiferença (27,3%) e depressão (9,1%). Emoções positivas como alegria (27,3%) também foram identificadas. Todos informam que tiveram parentes, amigos, vizinhos ou conhecidos infectados e 36,4% conheceram alguém que faleceu.
