The use of educational technologies stands out for promoting innovative and effective approaches to the adoption of healthy behaviors. Thus, this study aimed to develop an educational technology focused on preventing the use of alcohol and other drugs among adolescents. This is a methodological study conducted in the municipality of Sobral, Ceará, Brazil, from September 2025 to January 2026, specifically at the Youth Station (Estação da Juventude). The participants were adolescents who attended and took part in activities developed at this institution. The research was carried out in three stages: (1) integrative literature review; (2) focus group conducted at a Youth Station; and (3) development of a board game prototype. In the first stage, the integrative review identified the main risk factors for alcohol and other drug use during adolescence as family, friendships, territory, and curiosity regarding the consumption of these substances. The second stage consisted of a focus group held in September 2025, with the participation of 15 adolescents aged 11 to 16 years. Ten guiding questions were used, addressing topics such as knowledge about drugs, sources of information, perceptions about use among adolescents, personal experiences, prevention actions, and suggestions for educational strategies. The discussions were recorded using a digital recorder and later transcribed for analysis. The focus group results showed that friendships, family context, curiosity, and place of residence were perceived by participants as risk factors for alcohol and other drug use.In the third stage, a board game prototype was developed by designers specialized in academic projects, based on the findings of the integrative review and the focus group, and grounded in Nola J. Pender’s Health Promotion Model. The board measures 60 cm × 60 cm, providing adequate dimensions for proper display, handling of game components by the target audience, and transportation. It includes 28 written cards measuring 63.3 × 8.8 cm. The roulette wheel measures 16.5 cm × 16.5 cm. The instruction manual consists of one page and addresses the age group, number of participants, components, game setup, and gameplay instructions.

The number of renal patients is growing worldwide, and Brazil already represents the third largest hemodialysis market. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a global impact, highlighting limitations in transmission, risk factors and their severity. Patients with chronic kidney disease are high-risk groups for severe cases of Covid-19 to develop. OBJECTIVE: To compare the demographic profile, clinical complications and mortality rate in patients with dialysis chronic kidney disease affected by COVID-19 in 2020 versus 2021. RESULTS: A total of 152 subjects participated in the study. The average age found in the survey was 57.5 (37 – 65.2) years. The sample was characterized by male patients, 63.8% and female patients, 36.2%, who required hospitalization of 11.3% and death was 13.3%. DISCUSSION: One of the extremely significant findings in the study illustrates the manifestation of such latent potentials: : as in the characterization of the sample, a higher prevalence of patients who tested for COVID-19 was observed in patients with an average age of 57 years and male. The spatial distribution of the degree of incidence of Covid-19 in the municipalities of the state of Ceará demonstrated the inequality in the incidence coefficient of this pandemic with spatial dependence and positive correlation of the high type associated with the municipal human development index. The short-term mortality rate in dialysis patients, most patients even after the diagnosis of COVID-19 had not died. CONCLUSION: The quality of life of chronic renal dialysis patients is well compromised because they are in treatment impairment. CKD, and some chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and diabetes mellitus are among the comorbidities that imply a higher risk for a severe clinical presentation for several types of infectious diseases.

To ensure compliance with the principles and guidelines established by SUS, PHC relies on a team of professionals within the Family Health Strategy (FHS), including nurses. The work environment can be considered a risk factor for distress and, consequently, for the illness of health professionals. Psychosocial risks can influence nursing practices, as the relationship between mental health and work is deeply interconnected. Discussions on health work processes have become essential to understand the structure of health care delivery, especially when assessing the production of subjectivities arising from power relations, which are crucial to the analysis of care provision and training in the health field. This study aimed to evaluate the working conditions of Family Health Strategy nurses in a mountainous region of Ceará, Brazil, after the Covid-19 pandemic, and their relationship with mental health, also considering sociodemographic characteristics and labor market insertion. A mixed-methods study with a sequential explanatory design was conducted in two phases: quantitative and qualitative. Data collection instruments included a sociodemographic and professional questionnaire, the Work and Illness Risk Inventory (ITRA), and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), applied to 28 nurses in the first phase. In the second phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 nurses until theoretical data saturation was reached. Data were collected between May and August 2025. Quantitative results were consolidated into tables using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s correlation, while qualitative results were analyzed through Bardin’s content analysis. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Vale do Acaraú State University (UVA), under approval number 7.449.295/2025 and CAAE 86725625.4.0000.5053. The findings reveal a lack of investment in the nurses’ work environment, which affects work organization and interpersonal relationships. Levels of anxiety, stress, and depression remained within normal ranges. It is concluded that the lack of institutional investment in workers’ quality of life negatively impacts work performance. Moreover, nurses tend to adopt individual rather than collective coping strategies to deal with work-related distress. The few experiences of satisfaction reported by these professionals stem from community recognition of their work.

Based on this assumption, the objective was to analyze the perception of the managers of the Family Health Strategy teams regarding the phenomenon of violence. An exploratory-descriptive study with a quantitative and qualitative approach was developed. Held in Sobral, were considered as locus and research participants all Family Health Centers and their managers (N = 35). The study was conducted in 2018 and 2019 and the collection was based on the application of a questionnaire and 2 focus groups. The data collected in the first stage (questionnaire) were tabulated in the EpiInfo program and presented in tables and graphs format, adding to the descriptive statistical analysis. In the second stage (focus groups), the data were coded and organized according to the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) analysis technique. The research was approved by the Scientific Committee of the Sobral Health Secretariat with protocol opinion No. 0064/2019 and by the UVA Research Ethics Committee, with Opinion No. 3,377,966, and CAAE No. 18385513.5.0000.5053. Therefore, in accordance with the principles of the Resolution No. 466/12. The results reveal that 22 (62.86%) of the managers work inside the city and the other 13 (37.14%) in the districts of Sobral. Most managers are nurses (N = 27; 79.41%), have been working in primary care from six months to one year (N = 27; 77.14%), have been manager for more than one year (N = 22; 62.85%) as well as have specialization (N = 26; 76%). Just over half of the managers (N = 18; 51.43%) experienced Permanent Education or other qualifications related to violence, indicating in the discourse of managers the need for more qualifications for better effectiveness in dealing with people / families victims of violence. The most frequent types of violence include neglect/abandonment and physical violence (N = 24; 68.57%); according to the CSD, these were more directed to women, the elderly and children. Other situations mentioned were death threats (N = 9; 25.7%) and homicide attempts (N = 10; 28.5%) suffered by users of the Family Health Care Centers. The existence of territorial conflicts (N = 15; 43%) was indicated as an important factor that directly affects the actions developed, as they cause insecurity and make the work process difficult. Managers report that they feel 'more or less safe' on the way home to work, as well as in the workplace itself. Attendance to demands arising from situations of violence were recurrent from activities directed to individual and multiprofessional care (N = 35; 100%), such as home visits (N = 32; 91.43%). And for this, the intrasectoral and intersectoral partnerships were highlighted, where the majority activates the mental health services (N = 29; 82.86%), the services of the municipal social assistance network (N = 26; 74, 28%) and public schools (N = 23; 65.71%). Based on the data presented, it is necessary to incorporate violence (its determinants, care and outcomes) into the primary care agenda in order to ensure a systematic and accurate approach to this phenomenon.
