(1) Background: Sleep is considered to be a complex condition for human beings, with the aim of ensuring physical and psychological recovery. Technology, including the cell phone, is a tool for teenagers that ensures they are always available to interact, even at night. This study aims to understand the influence of the use of smartphones on adolescent sleep quality. (2) Methods: The guidelines proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute were followed. The search was conducted in October 2022 through the EBSCOhost platform, with access to the CINAHL Complete and Medline databases and through the b-On database. (3) Results: The use of electronic equipment plays an important role in adolescents’ lives. There is a negative relationship between the use of electronic equipment, such as smartphones, and sleep, for reducing both the quality and quantity of sleep. There is also a relationship between nighttime smartphone use, insufficient sleep, and mental health problems. (4) Conclusions: The use of new technologies at night causes a change in the behavior of adolescents with repercussions in terms of the quality of sleep and sleep duration and consequent well-being and performance during the day.

(1) Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms, and they are the second most common hospital-acquired infections, with catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs) accounting for about 40% of these nosocomial infections. This review aims to identify the impact of technology on preventing infections in patients with urinary catheters; (2) Methods: The search was conducted in April 2024 through the EBSCOhost platform, with access to the American Search Complete, CINHAL Ultimate, Medline databases, and through the Scopus database; (3) Results: In total were included eight articles in this review. Technology interventions can significantly reduce the incidence of CAUTIs, decrease the duration of catheter use, improve diagnosis, and enhance patient safety; (4) Conclusions: Technological advancements show significant benefits in reducing infection rates and improving patient outcomes, like shorter hospital stays and comfort. Multidisciplinary approaches and educational strategies are essential to maximize these benefits.

Background: Nasal irrigation is a non-pharmacological measure used to relieve nasal symptoms, but it is not fully accepted by caregivers who have doubts since some aspects of the procedure are not clear, and there is no consensus on a uniform protocol. Objective: To understand the effect of different nasal irrigation methods on the relief of nasal symptoms in children. Methodology: Systematic Literature Review aiming to answer the question “What is the effect of different methods of nasal irrigation in the relief of nasal symptoms in pediatrics?”. The research was carried out in August 2021, using b-On and EBSCO database aggregators. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, selecting 4 articles for analysis. Results: Scientific studies point to greater effectiveness of hypertonic saline solutions in nasal clearance, but isotonic saline solution proved to be more effective in increasing peripheral oxygen saturation. Positive pressure devices show greater effectiveness. There is no direct relationship between the contamination of the solution and the occurrence of infectious processes. Conclusions: Nasal irrigation is a safe and effective procedure for relieving nasal symptoms, reducing drug consumption and preventing complications, regardless of the technique and solution used. The use of a positive pressure device has been shown to be more effective. The use of saline and hypertonic saline solutions both proved to be advantageous, and it was not possible to determine the ideal solution. Implications: It is urgent to train health professionals and caregivers to perform the technique. Scientific studies are needed to support solutions that enhance the benefits of the technique. Reference documents in the area of Pediatrics would serve to standardize the provision of care, increase the effectiveness of the procedure and convey confidence to caregivers, enabling them to perform it.
