Objective: To understand the conditions that influence the adherence and application of best practices by nurses in the context of the Nursing care management in the Kangaroo Mother Care in the Neonatal ICU. Method: Study of qualitative approach, whose theoretical and methodological frameworks were Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory, respectively. We used the in-depth interview with 8 nurses from the Neonatal ICU of a public maternity hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Results: The conditions involved in adhering to the best practices of humanization in the Neonatal ICU are related mainly to human resources, interaction among professionals, work processes and leadership strategies; and care management.

Objective: to understand, from the perspective of complexity, the factors related to communication for the management of the nursing care before the death and dying of hospitalized people. Method: the Complex Thought and Grounded Theory were used as theoretical and methodological references, respectively. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, from May 2015 to January 2016, with three sample groups, totaling 41 participants: nurses, nursing technicians and members of the multidisciplinary team of a public hospital in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The data analysis followed the steps of open, axial and selective coding. Results: the management of the nursing care before the terminality and death involves a complex process of communication among patient, relatives and professionals, in which the interactions are permeated by the meanings of the end of life. Subjective, educational, sociocultural and institutional conditions influence nurses' interactions, generating order/disorder in the management of care. Conclusion: communication represents an important challenge for nursing management because it involves different actors, given the context of uncertainties and affectivities in the process of death and dying. It is important to emphasize the importance of the nurses being open to communication with these people, because this process requires complex actions regarding the demand for training and permanent education, as well as interdisciplinary action to guarantee humanization and comprehensive care.

Trata-se de reflexão acerca da tecnologia e da humanização do cuidado ao recém-nascido, tendo como preceito teórico o processo saúde-doença. São estabelecidos alguns paralelos entre as concepções de saúde e de doença, e suas influências em nosso modelo de agir e pensar nos espaços da assistência, como sujeitos do cuidado neonatal. O método mãe-canguru é apresentado como tecnologia relacional, que propõe o acolhimento da unidade família-bebê na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal, valorizando as vivências e necessidades primordiais de afetividade e compreensão.

Objective: to analyze the therapeutic itinerary of health workers diagnosed with COVID-19. Method: qualitative study conducted with 132 health workers diagnosed with COVID-19. Data were collected using a semi-structured form sent through the social media and processed with the Interface de R pour Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires, according to the Descending Hierarchical Classification. Results: the participants included 116 women and 16 men with 14 different professions within the health field. Five classes of excerpts emerged from the text, revealing the therapeutic itinerary from the onset of symptoms, up to referrals for testing and confirming COVID-19. Additionally, the aspects that facilitated or hindered access to testing in healthcare units were identified, in addition to misinformation and the need for workers to pay for the tests to obtain a diagnosis. Conclusion: this study’s results show the difficulties health workers experienced to access the tests and related information and the delay in accessing the results and obtaining a sick leave to remain in isolation at home. The health workers who did not get support in terms of management and monitoring from the facilities where they worked adopted an active search.
