Objective: to evaluate the impact of the “Strengthening Self-Esteem” intervention proposed by the Nursing Interventions Classification, conducted through the use of Facebook, on the self-esteem and self-efficacy levels of nursing undergraduates. Method: quasi-experimental study carried out in two Higher Education Institutions. The sample consisted of 74 students. Two data collection tools were applied before and after the intervention: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and General and Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale. The students were submitted to the intervention for ten sessions. Posts were made in private profile created on Facebook and consisted of positive messages, reflective texts and pictures, all supported by the persuasive resources of Bandura’s theoretical framework. Results: of the 264 students who answered the pretest, 74 (28.03%) participated in the interventions and the post-test. Rosenberg self-esteem (p=0.026) and self-efficacy (p=0.001) scores after the intervention were significantly higher than those obtained before, confirming the effectiveness of the intervention. Conclusion: the “Strengthening Self-Esteem” intervention was effective for improving students’ self-esteem and self-efficacy levels. Such interventions help spread knowledge and build mentally healthier individuals.

Objectives: to identify self-efficacy and self-esteem levels in undergraduate nursing students and to verify the mutual relationship between these constructs and with sociodemographic variables. Method: a cross-sectional study, with a sample of 264 students from two universities. Self-esteem and self-efficacy were measured by the Brazilian versions of the Rosenberg's Self-Esteem and of the General and Perceived Self-Efficacy scales, respectively. Results: a predominance of moderate to high self-efficacy was identified, with a mean score of 35.29 and moderate self-esteem, with a mean of 23.48. Self-efficacy was associated with the male gender, priority option in the college entrance examination by nursing, satisfaction with the course and absence of overload, besides correlating positively with age and self-esteem. Conclusion: self-efficacy and self-esteem levels were moderate/high and moderate, respectively. These constructs have shown a mutual relationship and assume an indispensable role both in the individual's personal life and in the professionalization process. These findings point to the need to strengthen mental health in this population, especially in vulnerable students (female, activity overload, dissatisfaction with the course and low self-esteem and self-efficacy), in order to foster their sense of value and the belief in their abilities.

Objetivo: Analisar o nível de estresse e sinais preliminares da Síndrome de Burnout nos enfermeiros que trabalham nas Unidades de Terapia Intensivas (UTIs) da COVID-19 e, nas demais UTIs, no contexto da pandemia. Metodologia: Estudo transversal, descritivo com abordagem quantitativo do tipo analítico, de um contexto específico, executado de fevereiro a maio de 2021, com enfermeiros das UTIs, de um Hospital de Ensino, do interior do estado de São Paulo. Foi aplicado um formulário estruturado por meio do Google Forms, associados aos Questionário de Stress nos Profissionais de Saúde de Gomes & Teixeira e Questionário JBEILI, inspirado no Maslach Burnout Inventory – MBI (Chafic Jbeili). Para as análises estatísticas, foi adotado o nível de significância p ≤ 0,050, sendo realizadas análises de correlação, teste de normalidade, testes estatísticos Wilcoxon, U de Mann-Whitney e Correlação de Spearman. Resultados: A população do estudo foi composta por 61 enfermeiros. Destes, 38 atuam nas UTIs COVID-19 e 23, nas demais UTIs. Não houve diferença estatística significativa, em relação ao nível de estresse e a análise preliminar de Burnout entre os dois grupos. Quanto ao nível de estresse global identificados no QSPS, a classificação de “bastante estresse” foi predominante (34%), seguido de elevado estresse (24%). Na análise preliminar de Burnout, 82% da população total apresentou a Síndrome de Burnout, sendo a classificação “Fase inicial da Burnout” a mais pronunciada. Conclusão: Os resultados pontuam níveis de estresse global de “bastante” a “elevado” e predomínio da fase inicial e de instalação da síndrome de Burnout em enfermeiros das UTIs COVID-19 e demais UTIs.

Population aging and the digital revolution have converged, creating challenges and opportunities for the social inclusion of older adults. This study examined social media usage patterns among Brazilian older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, exploring their associations with sociodemographic factors, health, and well-being. Through an online survey with 441 participants aged 60 or older, we found that WhatsApp^® and Instagram^® were the most utilized platforms, with a significant increase in usage during the pandemic. Higher educational attainment and income were associated with more frequent and diverse social media use, while the presence of comorbidities positively correlated with seeking health information online. Notably, greater engagement in social media was associated with an improved perception of well-being. The results highlight the potential of social media as tools for digital inclusion, access to information, and promotion of well-being for older adults, especially in crisis contexts. However, they also reveal socioeconomic disparities in access to and use of these technologies. These findings have significant implications for public policies on digital inclusion and health promotion, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to reduce digital inequality among older adults and maximize the potential benefits of social media for active and connected aging.
