Objective: to report the experience of undergraduate and postgraduate students of the UFSM Nursing Course in order to carry out health promotion actions through playful and pedagogical workshops with healthy elderly people. Methodology: this is an experience report regarding the participation of students in six annual editions (2010 to 2015) of the Extension Project "Acampavida". Each distinct annual theme issue was discussed with the participants. The topics covered issues related to health promotion, and were explored through ludic-pedagogical workshops, which were based on participatory methodology, seeking to promote discussion and reflection among participants. The data reported come from a field diary, where the students recorded the information that surrounded the space of each workshop. Results: The themes explored with the elderly focused on the maintenance of their functional capacities, including issues related to quality of life, sexuality, family relationships, body experience and healthy aging. Conclusion: Participation in the "Acampavida" Project made it possible to expand the possibilities of health promotion strategies to the elderly population, seeking to promote elements that directly or indirectly influence aspects of autonomy and independence that are indispensable for the maintenance of functional capacity. In addition, the activity gave opportunities for the expressiveness of the elderly, which emphasizes the ludic-pedagogical workshops as a strategy to promote health, and consequently subsidize the maintenance of vitality.

Objective. To evaluate the available scientific literature on factors that may intervene in the adequate feeding of infants vertically-exposed to HIV. Methods. This was an integrative review of the literature, performed on the LILACS, PubMed and Scopus databases in February 2017. The search was guided by the question "What are the factors involved in feeding infants vertically-exposed to HIV." Selected studies met the inclusion criteria of being research articles published in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. Articles excluded were those on exclusive breastfeeding. There was no need to perform a temporal cut off of the studies. Results. In all, the 32 primary studies selected showed that intervening factors were of three types: individual, such as maternal feelings and desires, beliefs, and practical difficulties; social, such as socioeconomic conditions, social support, and stigma; and political, such as health services structure and organization, supplies, health care guidance, and the knowledge and attitudes of health care professionals. Conclusions. The factors that interfere with feeding infants vertically-exposed to HIV may be independent or associated with each other. To reduce the risk of inadequate nutrition and its associated diseases, actions must be taken to identify and minimize these factors, guaranteeing a better quality of life and reduction of infant morbidity and mortality.
