Objective: identify the stress level among nursing undergraduates and the associated sociodemographic and academic factors; to compare stress level among college students according to the training phase in the course. Method: cross-sectional study with 286 university students. The instrument of sociodemographic and academic characterization and the stress scale were applied. The overall stress level was assessed by standardized score. In the bivariate analysis, Pearson’s chi-square or Fisher’s exact test was used, and multiple logistic regression analysis was performed using the Poisson model. Statistical significance of 5% was adopted. Results: higher proportion of college students presented medium/high level of global stress. Students from 6th to 10th semesters presented higher levels of stress compared to those from 1st to 5th, in the Realization of practical activities, Professional Communication (p = 0.014), Environment (p = 0.053) and Vocational Training (p = 0.000) domains). In the multivariate analysis, they contributed to the highest level of stress the variables attending the 6th to 10th semesters, female gender, monthly income ≤ one minimum wage and income considered insufficient. Conclusion: women in a more advanced stage of education and with low economic condition present a higher level of stress in their academic education.

Objetivo: analisar a produção científica brasileira sobre a COVID-19. Método: pesquisa bibliográfica, descritiva, quantitativa e de análise bibliométrica. A fonte de informação foi a PubMed, com recorte temporal entre 17 de novembro 2019 e 18 de maio 2020. Foram utilizados para a análise dos dados os softwares RSudio e VOSviewer, os pacotes bibliométricos bibliometrix e biblioshiny, e o site Word Cloud Art. Resultados: os autores brasileiros identificados nos 248 artigos são, em sua maioria, da área da medicina, atuando em instituições nas Regiões Sudeste e Nordeste do Brasil e mantêm colaboração internacional, principalmente entre os Estados Unidos, Itália e Canadá. Há publicação em diversos periódicos, com destaque para os de origem brasileira. As palavras-chave e os artigos publicados remetem às temáticas biomédicas. Conclusão: a produção científica brasileira carece de pesquisas sobre a COVID-19 que reflitam sobre os impactos da pandemia para a sociedade, os trabalhadores e a economia da saúde no Brasil.Descritores: COVID-19.

Objective: To analyze the association of psychosocial risk factors at work, sociodemographic, and occupational characteristics with the level of physical activity among motorcycle taxi drivers. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 750 male motorcycle taxi drivers from the municipality of Jequié, Bahia, Brazil. A form containing sociodemographic and occupational characteristics was utilized. The psychosocial risk factors at work were evaluated by the Job Content Questionnaire and the level of physical activity by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The adjusted associations were analyzed by means of the Poisson regression with robust variance. Results: the prevalence of an insufficiently active level of physical activity was of 59.6%. The crude prevalence ratios (PR) showed an association between physical inactivity in motorcycle taxi drivers and high strain job (PR: 1.31), with 5 or more years of experience (PR: 1.67), in night shifts (PR: 1.36) and 40 or more years old (PR: 1.77). In the multivariate model, adjusted by income, work in high strain is kept associated to a situation of being insufficiently active (PR: 1.13), duration of employment of five or more years raised by 51.0% the frequency of insufficiently active physical activity (PR: 1.51) and the work in predominantly nocturnal shifts increased it by 26.0% (PR: 1.26). It is made evident that age was an effect modifier (p < 0.001) and its interaction was evaluated by including the corresponding product term (job Demand–Control model), which shows that the association between highly straining work and being insufficiently active was observed only among the youngest (21–39 years old) (PR: 1,21). Conclusions: the age and exposure to unfavorable working conditions, like long duration of employment, night work and work under high psychological demand and low control, have an influence on the insufficient physical activity among motorcycle taxi drivers.

Objective: to describe the construction and implementation of the nursing protocol for remote monitoring of overweight women. Method: report of experience with 50 women who participated in an intervention study developed in a reference outpatient clinic for obesity in Salvador, Brazil. The steps involved in the development of the protocol consisted of structuring the theoretical content and defining the form of operationalization. Results: the definition of the theoretical content of the protocol was guided by the main guides and guidelines of the Ministry of Health and Scientific Societies and discussion with specialists. A thematic weekly script was developed for phone calls, including content on obesity, its causes and complications, feeding and practicing physical activity for weight control. The protocol was performed in ten weeks, with scheduled weekly connections and duration of five minutes. To guide the team in the operation of telephone calls, a Telephone Call Guide was developed. The information was offered in a flexible way, providing moments for the participant to clarify doubts and to add information, being observed the understanding of the contents. Women noted that monitoring, as well as guiding how they could take better care of themselves, helped to avoid giving up treatment and solving problems with health consultations and procedures. Conclusion: the use of remote nursing monitoring focused on educational actions, has proved to be a tool to support the care of overweight women.
