Background: COVID-19 is a highly transmissible illness caused by SARS-CoV-2. The disease has affected more than 200 countries, and the measures that have been implemented to combat its spread, as there is still no vaccine or definitive medication, have been based on supportive interventions and drug repositioning. Brazil, the largest country in South America, has had more than 140,000 recorded deaths and is one of the most affected countries. Despite the extensive quantity of scientifically recognized information, there are still conflicting discussions on how best to face the disease and the virus, especially with regard to social distancing, preventive methods, and the use of medications. Objective: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the Brazilian population’s basic knowledge about COVID-19 to demonstrate how Brazilians are managing to identify scientifically proven information. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. An original online questionnaire survey was administered from June 16 to August 21, 2020, across all five different geopolitical regions of the country (ie, the North, Northeast, Center-West, Southeast, and South). The questionnaire was comprised of questions about basic aspects of COVID-19, such as the related symptoms, conduct that should be followed when suspected of infection, risk groups, prevention, transmission, and social distancing. The wrong questionnaire response alternatives were taken from the fake news combat website of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Participants (aged ≥18 years) were recruited through social networking platforms, including Facebook, WhatsApp, and Twitter. The mean distributions, frequencies, and similarities or dissimilarities between the responses for the different variables of the study were evaluated. The significance level for all statistical tests was less than .05. Results: A total of 4180 valid responses representative of all the states and regions of Brazil were recorded. Most respondents had good knowledge about COVID-19, getting an average of 86.59% of the total score with regard to the basic aspects of the disease. The region, education level, age, sex, and social condition had a significant association (P<.001) with knowledge about the disease, which meant that women, the young, those with higher education levels, nonrecipients of social assistance, and more economically and socially developed regions had more correct answers. Conclusions: Overall, Brazilians with social media access have a good level of basic knowledge about COVID-19 but with differences depending on the analyzed subgroup. Due to the limitation of the platform used in carrying out the study, care should be taken when generalizing the study findings to populations with less education or who are not used to accessing social networking platforms.

Socio-emotional competencies (SECs) are essential for the quality of nursing practice. This study aimed to understand the pedagogical strategies provided by universities for the development of SECs in Brazil, as perceived by nursing students. This is a descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach involving 57 nursing students from a public Higher Education Institution in Brazil. Data collection was conducted through focus groups, and interpretation was carried out using inductive thematic analysis. The pedagogical strategies identified were categorized as follows: those offered by the curriculum matrix, those provided by the Nursing course department, those made available by the university as a whole (involving all courses and students), and the challenges related to the development of socio-emotional competencies. This study revealed a deficit in the integration of SECs in the curriculum, highlighting the need for curricular restructuring and discussions on this topic. Equipping students with socio-emotional competencies during their training can help address these gaps, fostering greater resilience and self-care capabilities among nursing professionals.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, com o objetivo de identificar e descrever os fatores que levam à desmotivação acadêmica em um grupo de estudantes em uma universidade pública, realizada em 2018, através de entrevista semiestruturada. As informações foram analisadas segundo o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Participaram 11 estudantes de diversos cursos, das quais nove do sexo feminino. Construiu-se quatro categorias: Processo adaptativo, Contexto universitário, Aspectos socioeconômicos e Aspectos emocionais. Identificou-se que a desmotivação acadêmica se deu por: distanciamento da família e as especificidades da nova demanda estudantil; infraestrutura, sobrecarga de atividades e conduta docente; dependência financeira em relação aos pais; e, sentimentos de tristeza, nervosismo, estresse e irritabilidade. As instituições de ensino precisam de um olhar atento e acolhedor para com seus estudantes através de estratégias para promover saúde e prevenir agravos, além de considerar o indivíduo como um ser biopsicossocial e espiritual, possibilitando melhora no processo ensino-aprendizagem e a motivação.

Este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar o perfil da produção científica sobre competências ético-políticas que devem ser desenvolvidas na graduação em enfermagem para a práxis profissional do enfermeiro. Tratou-se de uma revisão bibliométrica da literatura, realizada nas bases de dados: BDENF, CINAHL, LILACS, SciELO e Scopus; foram recrutados estudos publicados no período de 2018 a 2022, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. Selecionou-se 21 artigos e as principais competências ético-políticas citadas foram a moral e a ética. As pesquisas mostraram que esta temática não é evidenciada de maneira consistente durante a graduação e os estudos apresentam outras competências profissionais necessárias na atuação do enfermeiro, a exemplo das competências clínicas. Assim, torna-se fundamental que os centros formadores se atentem para a necessidade de desenvolvimento das competências ético-políticas durante a formação acadêmica, pautada em princípios e valores éticos. Tais competências são indispensáveis para a assistência exitosa em saúde, bem como para o aperfeiçoamento das relações interpessoais no trabalho.

Objective to develop a socioemotional competency matrix proposal for undergraduate nursing students. Method this exploratory, descriptive study used a qualitative approach. Fifty-seven nursing students from a public higher education institution participated. Data were collected through focus groups and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Results six socioemotional competencies were identified: Assertive Communication, Receptivity, Adaptability, Teamwork, Emotional Intelligence, and Shared Leadership. Additionally, recognizing associated behaviors/attitudes enabled the construction of the matrix. Strategies for competency development were mentioned, such as teacher support, participation in academic leagues, research projects, and workshops as initiatives from graduate programs. Conclusion the socio-emotional competency matrix for nursing students should assist health care managers and training centers in designing competency-based educational projects.

Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender o impacto socioemocional e as estratégias de enfrentamento vivenciados pela equipe de enfermagem atuante em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de entrevista semiestruturada audiogravada, e a interpretação decorreu da análise temática indutiva, tendo como base o referencial teórico que discorre sobre reflexões em saúde mental dos profissionais de enfermagem brasileiros diante da pandemia. Participaram 28 profissionais: oito enfermeiros gerenciais, sete enfermeiros assistenciais e 13 técnicos de enfermagem. A partir das respostas, foram criadas três categorias e 14 subcategorias, a saber: Categoria 1: Histórias marcantes e subcategorias: as raras altas; familiares internados na mesma UTI; as últimas palavras. Categoria 2: O impacto socioemocional e subcategorias: o medo da contaminação; enrijecimento de sentimentos e o automatismo do trabalho; ansiedade, cansaço e estresse; sensibilidade e empatia; o abalo emocional e a desesperança. Categoria 3: Estratégias de enfrentamento e subcategorias: o fortalecimento emocional e autocuidado; acompanhamento psicológico e psiquiátrico; segregação da vida pessoal e profissional; redes de apoio: colegas de trabalho e familiares; privação de informações externas e espiritualidade e religiosidade. A equipe de enfermagem sofreu relevantes impactos socioemocionais decorrentes da pandemia de COVID-19. Assim, o estabelecimento da qualidade socioemocional é imprescindível, sobretudo como estratégia de enfrentamento, com vistas à proteção da saúde e prevenção de agravos para esses profissionais, mesmo após a pandemia.
