The present study aimed to analyze the influence of the media in professional football by considering the perception of clubs' coaches and communication advisors. The sample consisted of a group of five communication advisors and seven coaches from Portuguese football clubs, to whom a semi-structured interview from the first and second leagues was applied. The responses obtained were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis methodology. The results obtained show that the media are positioned as an important influencing factor in the players' performance. The massification of information and sports content as well as the transformation process that sports communication goes through thus positioned them. Due to the unequivocal effect of the media, some coaches report an environment of tension around their players, which has led to the application of psychological and communicational strategies capable of motivating their athletes towards success. However, the interviewees' perception of the importance of being continuously informed is relevant, causing a need for closer monitoring. The solution offered was internal training for professional football players and coaches in order to obtain a better communication efficiency for the clubs. We found, in short, that the media advisors and coaches interviewed consider the media to be a relevant factor of influence over professional football, with the potential to provoke teams, namely, lack of confidence, cohesion and tension.

Objective: To investigate the perception of professionals who experience the palliative extubation process. Methods: Qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study carried out in the pediatric palliative care unit of a public hospital in the state health network of Minas Gerais, in 2020. Results: Eleven health professionals were interviewed. Four thematic categories emerged: Knowledge prior to palliative extubation; Conduct planning; Communication between the team and sharing of care and Perception and understanding of the procedure. Professionals reported greater theoretical knowledge about palliative extubation, however, they stated that they understood the procedure better in practice. Some professional classes did not feel included in the care planning, which included a previous conversation with the patient's family members and discussion about the care plan. Failures in communication between team members were also evidenced by non-medical professionals. The procedure was understood by all professionals as necessary due to the child's clinical prognosis. Conclusion: It is necessary to carry out further research related to the perceptions of the multidisciplinary team regarding care strategies in palliative care units so that the conducts are aligned and there is greater involvement of the entire team.

Conjugality becomes a challenge in the transition to parenthood, especially when it comes to the birth of the irst child, being of great importance for health to know the marital experience and the factors involved, to facilitate this transition. The family nurse can be this facilitator, due to the privileged role of proximity. However, the lack of studies in family nursing, does not allow the interventions in the evidence. This study intended to analyze marital experiences during the transition to parenthood with regard to facilitating and hindering factors. An exploratory and descriptive study with phenomenological orientation was performed. The intentional snowball sample consisted of 6 heterosexual couples, 6 to 12 months after the birth of the irst child. Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted to both spouses. Analysis performed by the Giorgi phenomenological method. Protective and hindering factors of conjugality were found in the transition to parenthood. They are protective factors: pregnancy planning; understanding and mutual help in the couple; marital communication; support from the family of origin. Constituted hindering factors: the management of moments alone; restart and maintenance of sexuality; performance of the parental role; intrusion of the family of origin (lack of limits or unstructured relationship with the family of origin) and lack of support from health professionals. Couples need personal and professional support in this transitional phase. The family nurse can play a privileged role of proximity, facilitating this transition process through anticipatory care for the couple and family at this stage of the family life cycle.

In recent decades the studies on the topic of emotions in nursing has focused mainly on the emotional experience of patients and nurses, which left the field of research open for studies focusing on the emotional competence of nurses. The context of end of life is full of feelings, sensations and emotions that are difficult for nurses to manage so it has become key to underline the emotional scenarios important in providing comfort care during this phase of the life cycle . The purpose of this study is to help clarify the meaning of emotional competence development in professional practice while assuming that the main objective is to provide comfort care to patients admitted to palliative care units. Considering the problem and objectives in the study, we decided to apply a qualitative methodological framework with a descriptive and exploratory nature. The subjects under consideration are nurses and patients experiencing end of life, and who have agreed to participate in the study through semi-structured interviews. The inherent ethical procedures have been secured and protected. For the analysis of the phenomenon under study, the speeches were analysed using critical discourse analysis of Fairclough. Conclusion: The study output was a construct called 'emotional competence of nurses'. This construct encompasses a set of capabilities that allow us to know, regulate, manage and achieve emotional phenomena in order to build and maintain interpersonal relationships in an affective environment. It bases itself around five dimensions, and it also becomes five capabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Theoretical framework: Over the years there have been substantial changes in the amount of documentation in nursing as a result of information technologies that are part of the daily work of health professionals. Physicians are the greatest consumers of the information collected, processed and documented by nurses, given the relevance of this information in the process of clinical decision-making. Objectives: To identify and describe the information collected, processed and documented by nurses that appears most relevant to the medical profession. Methodology: Qualitative and exploratory study using participant observation (98 hours) and interviews (3) with key informants, conducted in the hospital. Inductive content analysis of field notes and interviews. Results: The most relevant information for doctors depends on the context of the subject, action and professions and can be aggregated into three categories: «monitoring parameters»; «medications and therapeutic attitudes»; and «recurrent data». Conclusion: Strategies for data collection are capable of generating valid data for the identification of categories of information most relevant to physicians («monitoring parameters», «medications and therapeutic attitudes» and «recurrent data»). The information relevant for physicians is not influenced by the person who decides that the data are collected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
