Method: A cross-sectional study conducted in the Post-Anesthesia Recovery Room of a philanthropic hospital in Paraíba, Brazil, with 87 patients undergoing oncological surgeries. Data were collected in July and August 2022 using the Visual Analogue Scale, Numerical Verbal Scale, and Perioperative Thirst Discomfort Scale, which were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman's correlation (p ≤ 0.05) were used to compare thirst intensity, sociodemographic variables, and clinical variables Results: Thirst assessment using the Visual Analogue Scale, Numerical Visual Scale, and Perioperative Thirst Discomfort Scale resulted in medians of 3, 4, and 5, respectively, and thirst intensity showed a statistically significant inverse correlation with age (p = 0.046). Conclusion: Thirst in the immediate postoperative period was frequent and inversely correlated with age, being more intense in younger patients. The findings reinforce the need to systematically assess and manage thirst during this period.
Social representations of the adult LGBTQIAPNb+ population regarding experienced interpersonal violence Fihama Pires Nascimento, Lindemberg Arruda Barbosa, Kalyne Araújo Bezerra, Lucas Guilherme da Silva Duque, Renata Clemente dos Santos-Rodrigues, Gleicy Karine Nascimento de Araújo-Monteiro, Emanuella de Castro Marcolino Revista Gaucha De Enfermagem, 2026 Objective: To analyze the social representations of the adult LGBTQIAPNb+ population regarding experienced interpersonal violence. Method: Analytical study with a qualitative approach, held in the municipality of Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil, in the year 2023; based on the theoretical-methodological framework of the Theory of Social Representations. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Free Word Association Test, and semi-structured interview guide were applied. In addition to descriptive statistical analysis for participant characterization, the data were submitted to prototypical analysis using IRAMUTEQ® software. Results: The central core of social representation was strongly associated with fear and suffering, whereas the periphery revealed connections with pain, anguish, and hatred. Furthermore, peripheral elements such as silencing, prejudice, intolerance, and repression were identified in the representations. It was also possible to observe, through class markers, how violence influences the biopsychosocial dimensions of individual’s lives, leaving traces from childhood that resonate to the present day. Under these circumstances, psychological violence proved to affect individuals more significantly compared with other forms. Conclusion: Emotional and psychological impact was directly associated with violence, highlighting the social mechanisms that perpetuate aggression and hinder the search for support and justice among the LGBTQIAPNb+ population.
Factors Associated With Elder Abuse According to the Levels of Social Determinants in Brazil Gleicy Karine Nascimento de Araújo Monteiro, Renata Clemente dos Santos, Wesley Ferreira de Moraes Brandão, Gabriela Maria Cavalcanti Costa, Ana Maria de Almeida, Rafaella Queiroga Souto Journal of Forensic Nursing, 2025 Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the factors associated with elder abuse according to the levels of social determinants. Methodology This is a quantitative and multicentric study, with a cross-sectional cut. It was developed in two teaching hospitals in Paraíba, Brazil, with 323 older adults, from July 2019 to February 2020. Data were collected using the Hwalek–Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test and Conflict Tactics Scale-1 and then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results There was a significant association between risk for violence and female gender (p = 0.004), residing with grandchildren (p = 0.025), and having four or more comorbidities (p < 0.00). Physical violence was associated with income (p = 0.048). A positive correlation was observed between the number of comorbidities and the risk for violence score (p < 0.001), psychological violence (p = 0.004), and physical violence (p = 0.005). The probability of presenting a risk to violence increased by 2.08 times for women, 1.03 times for those who were illiterate, and 7.03 times for those with four or more comorbidities. Conclusion The social determinants of health that integrate the macrosystem, such as income and number of comorbidities, correlate with situations of violence.

Methods: Methodological study conducted in two stages: i) content validity appraisal of NP instruments by experts and ii) evaluation of the computerized tool by nurses working in a neonatal unit. Data were collected using nurse-completed questionnaires. Analyses included the content validity index (CVI) and user-assigned scores for tool characteristics. Results: The tool achieved CVI > 0.83 for the physical examination component and CVI < 0.83 for some nursing diagnoses, prompting targeted revisions. In the assessment of usability, the tool demonstrated favorable ratings for functional adequacy, usability, performance efficiency, and compatibility. Conclusion: The computerized tool showed adequate validity evidence to support application of NP in neonatal care settings.
SPECIALIZED TERMINOLOGY FOR NURSING PRACTICE WITH OLDER ADULTS IN SITUATIONS OF VIOLENCE Bárbara Maria Lopes da Silva Brandão, Renata Clemente dos Santos-Rodrigues, Gleicy Karine Nascimento de Araújo-Monteiro, Ana Márcia Nóbrega Dantas, Patrícia Josefa Fernandes Beserra, Rafaella Queiroga Souto Texto E Contexto Enfermagem, 2024 Objective: to develop a term bank for nursing clinical practice addressing violence against older adults, based on scientific literature. Method: this is a methodological, documentary study conducted in the following steps: identification of relevant terms for the target population and/or health priority, extracted from a scoping review using the PorOnto tool; and cross-mapping of the identified terms with those from the 2019/2020 version of the International Classification for Nursing Practice. The Content Validity Index was used for term validation. Variables related to participants were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: a total of 1,236 terms were identified, which were reduced to 704 after validation by seven judges. Subsequently, through cross-mapping, 293 terms were found to be present and 411 absent in the International Classification for Nursing Practice version 2019/2020. Conclusion: the study’s contributions emphasize the importance of strengthening specialized terminologies that address the needs of older adults in situations of violence. This term bank will support the development of new nursing diagnoses, outcomes, and intervention statements to enhance the care plan provided by the nursing team across all levels of complexity.

SELF-MUTILATION AMONG ADOLESCENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW WITH META-ANALYSIS Kalyne Araújo Bezerra, Fihama Pires Nascimento, Igor de Sousa Nóbrega, Gleicy Karine Nascimento de Araújo-Monteiro, Renata Clemente dos Santos-Rodrigues, Emanuella de Castro Marcolino Texto E Contexto Enfermagem, 2023 Objective: to estimate the prevalence of self-mutilation among adolescents and the factors that influence it. Method: this is a systematic review with meta-analysis. The search was carried out October 2021 in the following databases: SciELO, LILACS, MEDLINE and PubMed databases, with the descriptors “Adolescente” and “Comportamento autodestrutivo” and “Adolescent” and “Self-destructive behavior”, combined by the Boolean operator “AND.” We included studies published between 2015 and 2021, quantitative, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, available in full. We excluded documents that did not contain the amount referring to adolescents who practiced self-mutilation, duplicate and review studies. Study selection was performed by pairs, removing duplicates and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, reading titles, abstracts and full text. In the end, the sample consisted of 86 studies. Meta-analysis was performed using the R software through the elaboration of forest plot, heterogeneity test, funnel test and Egger’s test. Results: the prevalence of self-mutilation among adolescents averaged 21%, with the United States standing out with the highest percentage. Among the identified factors, older adolescents, female, economically disadvantaged, who experience family conflicts, with parents with low education, victims of violence and bullying and who have friends with suicidal behavior stood out. Conclusion: self-mutilation is socially determined so that its prevalence varies according to the integration between different factors. In this context, it is necessary for nursing professionals to offer emotional support to adolescents and their families.
