Introduction: In health professionals, skills that allow them to deal with their own emotions and those of others guarantee the quality of care provided and an effective therapeutic relationship. Hence, they are fundamental for nurses, namely for those who work in family health units. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the emotional competence of nurses working in family health units in a group of health centers in the north of Portugal and their sociodemographic and professional characteristics. Method: Quantitative methodology, of the transversal descriptive-correlational type. Data collected through an electronic questionnaire that consisted of two parts: sociodemographic and professional characteristics of the participants and emotional competence questionnaire. 66 nurses composed the sample. Results: The nurses in the study showed high levels of emotional competence (mean = 205.1, standard deviation = 20.9). There were no statistically significant differences between sociodemographic and professional characteristics and emotional competence. Conclusions: Although the relationship between emotional competence and sociodemographic and professional characteristics is unclear, the importance of emotional intelligence in care practice is certain.

Objetivo: examinar las repercusiones de la pandemia en el sistema familiar enfocándose en la perspectiva de familiares que han contraído y padecido COVID-19. Método: estudio exploratorio de enfoque cualitativo realizado con 27 personas que tuvieron COVID-19. Los datos se recolectaron por medio de entrevistas telefónicas que se grabaron en audio y estuvieron guiadas por un instrumento semiestructurado. El análisis se basó en un proceso inductivo respaldado por Análisis Temático Reflexivo. Resultados: la pandemia y el hecho de que un familiar contrajera la enfermedad fueron fuerzas impulsoras que generaron movilizaciones nuevas e intensas en el sistema familiar. Inicialmente, notaron repercusiones negativas como preocupaciones, temor, angustia, estrés, distanciamiento y aislamiento social. Con el paso del tiempo y empleando tecnologías para facilitar la comunicación, comenzaron a percibir repercusiones positivas como más cercanía, fortalecimiento de vínculos, desarrollo de nuevos roles y cuidado mutuo. Las familias también identificaron que recuperaban una posición de equilibrio, con retorno de cierto reajuste en la dinámica y el funcionamiento familiar. Conclusión: los profesionales de la salud deben admitir que la enfermedad por COVID-19 ha generado repercusiones en los sistemas familiares, además de proponer intervenciones que ayuden a las familias a hacer frente a este momento y a recuperar más fácilmente una posición de equilibrio para su buen funcionamiento.

Introduction: The Social Determinants of Health are defined by the living conditions of the population, how they are born, grow, live, work and age, and are considered as the main responsible for the health of populations. Objective: To evaluate the influence of social determinants of health on effectiveness of family functioning. Materials and Methods: A quantitative study was carried out with 200 participants between 2017 and 2018. To assess the correlation between proximal, intermediate and distal social determinants of health and the level of effectiveness of family functioning, home visits were made to 100 families who responded the Assessment of strategies in Family Effectiveness instrument and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed by simple frequency, Spearman's correlation coefficient (?) (p <0.05), and subjected to descriptive analysis from the perspective of systemic organization. Results: The social determinants that showed a positive correlation coefficient with the level of effectiveness of family functioning were the years of study and the fixed family income. There was a negative correlation with the main source of income (number of occupations) or source of income and the presence of other members or relatives in the family. Discussion: Investments in education can improve the family's ability to organize, solve or prevent adverse events, increase income and provide more time for family relationships and the achievement of congruence, as evidenced by other authors. Conclusions: The proximal and intermediate social determinants of health influenced the level of effectiveness of family functioning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Caring for the family in the emergency department is challenging for nursing due to the specificities and challenges of the context. Although the evidence reveals the family's experiences and needs, little is known about nurses' experiences. Objective: To understand nurses' lived experiences of caring for the family in the emergency department. Methodology: Qualitative study with Van Kaam's phenomenological approach. In-depth interviews were conducted with 11 nurses. The Moustakas' modified method guided data analysis. Results: Nurses' lived experiences revealed eight dimensions: 1) "Feeling responsible"; 2) "Initially welcome the family"; 3) "Host the family in the emergency department"; 4) "To be fully present"; 5) "To cuddle in suffering"; 6) "Dance, with the family, in a borderline situation"; 7) "Comfort guided on the information"; and 8) "Let yourself be carefully touched by the family's experience". Conclusion: Nurses' experiences reveal dimensions of the phenomenon in clinical practice, highlighting the importance of therapeutic communication with the families, their presence in resuscitation situations, and the need for family conferences.

Stroke is a major public health problem in Portugal, being one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity, with a high level of disability and functional dependence. This study aims to evaluate the quality of life of people after stroke in the home context. This is a quantitative, descriptive-correlational and cross-sectional study in a non-probabilistic sample consisting of 24 people. Data were collected through a questionnaire, applying the Barthel Index and the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QoL). The results of the study suggest that QoL was influenced by gender, living variable, educational attainment, stroke type, neurological impairment and Barthel Index. The results point to the need for intervention of the Family Nurse, using care strategies centred on the functional capacity of the person, promoting self-care and family and social reintegration, in order to improve QOL.

Background: The impact of simulation with structured debriefing as a pedagogical strategy in nursing education is unquestionable today. However, no references were found regarding the use of this strategy in family health nursing education. Objective: To evaluate structured debriefing associated with simulation as a pedagogical strategy in family nursing consultations. Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a sample of 169 students attending the 2nd year of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. The Simulation Debriefing Assessment Scale (Escala de Avaliação do Debriefing Associado à Simulação - EADaS) was applied in laboratory classes. Results: The scale had an overall mean score of 4.25 (SD = 0.400), with a minimum of 3.03 and a maximum of 5.00. The highest mean scores (M = 4.58; SD = 0.462) were found in the Affective Value Dimension and the lowest mean scores (M = 3.87; SD = 0.621) were found in the Psychosocial Value Dimension. The Cognitive Value Dimension had M = 4.35 points and SD = 0.435. Conclusion: Structured debriefing associated with simulation proved to be a suitable pedagogical strategy for the acquisition and development of students' competencies in family health nursing, facilitating critical and reflexive learning that is essential to intervene within the family and should, therefore, be implemented in this area.

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the meanings given by women caregivers to their care practices and to analyze the relationship between such practices and their work history. Method: This was a phenomenological qualitative cohort study conducted in Seville, Spain, with family caregivers. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and submitted to content analysis, using Atlas-ti GmbH software version 5.0®. The following categories emerged: caregiving history and work history, and the meaning of care in their lives. Results: Twenty caregivers participated in the study. Women caregivers told stories of wide-ranging care, including several individuals in their family at different moments. They performed different forms of care, encompassing physical and social dimensions. Their discourse expressed the contradiction between their caregiving role and entering and/or maintaining their place in the labor market. Conclusion: The women expressed a concept of comprehensive care that includes responsibility, availability, and companionship, as well as emotional states, which greatly impact health. They tailored their participation in the labor market according to their family’s care needs. Thus, the gender perspective must be incorporated by health care providers who work with the health of caregivers.
