It is based on the hypothesis that transformations in the field of Nursing have reconfigured Research Groups, potentially indicating the emergence of a new generation or the deepening of the most recent generation described by Salles and Barreira (2010). Accordingly, the study aims to characterize the Nursing History research groups (HE-RPGs) registered in the Brazilian Directory of Research Groups; to describe the scientific production profile of their leaders; and to analyze the extent to which these configurations reveal processes of continuity, renewal, or generational transformation in the field of Nursing.Method: This is a documentary and analytical-descriptive study, grounded in a quantitative historical approach, which examined official data from the CNPq Directory of Research Groups covering the period from 2000 to 2023. Data collection involved identifying and manually extracting information available on the RPGs’ webpages and on the Lattes curricula of their leaders, following the criteria of pertinence, sufficiency, exhaustiveness, representativeness, and homogeneity proposed by Barros (2012). Data treatment consisted of organizing variables into spreadsheets, thematic segmentation, consolidation of historical series, and the application of descriptive statistical procedures. The interpretative analysis articulated the results through Karl Mannheim’s concepts of generational position, generational connection, and generational unit, complemented by the scientific generation model of Salles and Barreira (2010), which guided the sociological and historiographical interpretation. This integration between quantification and interpretation made it possible to examine patterns, continuities, and potential generational inflections in the constitution of the Nursing History research groups in Brazil. Results: The results indicate a significant expansion in scientific production, along with growth in the number of researchers, increased academic qualifications, and greater diversity of educational backgrounds within the groups. Leaders exhibited robust academic trajectories, predominantly linked to consolidated graduate programs, which contributed to the qualification and visibility of the HE-RPGs. An initial institutional concentration in the Southeast region was identified, followed by progressive internalization and a more balanced geographic distribution in the past decade, reflecting processes of expansion and democratization of research across the country. Growth in the number of groups, institutional diversification, expansion of research lines, and the strengthening of federal institutions as central loci of historical production were also observed. Leaders demonstrated high academic qualifications, participation in collaborative networks, and significant bibliographic, technical, and cultural outputs, albeit with regional asymmetries. Their trajectories also revealed increasing articulation between Nursing History, Public Health, and Education, reflecting the thematic transversality that characterizes newer generations of researchers. Additionally, diversification of production formats, geographic expansion, alternating cycles of growth and retraction influenced by funding policies, changes in graduate education, and the impacts of the pandemic were identified, along with the strengthening of collaborative networks, expansion of internationalization, and adaptation to CAPES evaluation requirements. When interpreted through the generational framework, these findings suggest that while the HE-RPGs preserve characteristics of the fifth scientific Generation, such as internationalization, indexing, and collective production, they also incorporate emerging elements, such as digitalized practices, increased thematic transversality, and reorganized scientific production, indicating a transitional movement toward a hybrid generation in the field of Nursing History. Final Considerations: The scientific community of Nursing in Brazil has undergone important structural transformations in recent decades, driven by the expansion of graduate education, CAPES evaluation policies, and increasing internationalization. However, these changes do not constitute the rupture necessary to define a new generation; rather, they reinforce the consolidation of the fifth generation described by Salles and Barreira. Researchers share generational position, connection, and unit, expressed through similar academic trajectories, shared formative experiences, and relatively stable collective practices. Recent phenomena such as the digitalization of scientific work, intensification of virtual networks, and the emergence of artificial intelligence technologies point to potential future inflections, but they have not yet produced effects sufficient to characterize a new generation.

Its severe form is characterized by extreme watery diarrhea and potentially fatal dehydration. Although it can be easily treated with simple measures such as oral rehydration salts, cholera remains a significant threat due to its high morbidity and mortality among vulnerable populations with limited access to basic sanitation and adequate healthcare. Objective: To describe the incidence, mortality, and case fatality rates of cholera in Haiti between the years 2010 and 2023.Method: This is an epidemiological, observational, cross- sectional study based on secondary, publicly available data from the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Public Health of Haiti. Descriptive analyses are presented using absolute case numbers and population-based rates. Results: The annual cholera case volume reached 3,336, and the mortality rate rose to 40 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. The case fatality rate was 2.3%. The cholera epidemic that occurred in Haiti between 2010 and 2011 was associated with the consequences of the 2010 earthquake. The low incidence or renewed surge in 2022 was attributed to underreporting of cases, persistent poverty, and lack of access to adequate healthcare and sanitation services. Conclusion: The identification of health indicators related to cholera incidence, mortality, and case fatality in Haiti reveals underlying factors associated with disease occurrence and deaths. This highlights the need for effective intersectoral health promotion measures aimed at reducing or eliminating this disease.

The primary etiologies of DT in adolescents, particularly in school environments, are related to falls and sports activities. This is a pilot study aimed at developing, validating the content, and evaluating the effectiveness of an educational material (EM) designed for adolescents, focusing on the prevention of falls in everyday situations and physical activities at school, with the goal of reducing DT in this setting. The first stage of the study involved the creation of the EM in the form of a poster, based on a literature review of databases and guidelines from the Brazilian Ministry of Education, Labor, and Employment, and Health. Subsequently, two groups of expert judges, one consisting of pediatric dentists and the other of professionals in the fields of Education/Design, were responsible for validating the thematic content of the EM. Following this, the poster was validated by the target audience to ensure its clarity and motivational appeal. To assess the effectiveness of the EM sixty adolescent patients from the clinics of the School of Dentistry at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (FOUFRJ) were interviewed between October and December 2024. The judges’ agreement was evaluated using the Content Validity Index (CVI), and the target audience’s validation was calculated using the Content Validity Coefficient (CVC). To evaluate effectiveness, the differences between the means and frequencies of correct responses before and after reading the EM were estimated using the Wilcoxon and McNemar tests (α = 0.05). The poster was validated, with a CVI of 0.89 and 1.0 by dentists and educators/designers, respectively. All calculated CVCs, ranging from 0.88 to 1.0, were considered acceptable. Based on the results obtained in this pilot study, it is possible to establish validated parameters for the ME developed and to dimension a sufficient sample to test its effectiveness, based on a main study, thus increasing the reliability of the results and the possibility of recommending the dissemination of its content, through health education actions with the target audience.

The booklet presents the guidelines for its diagnosis in an objective and accessible way, highlighting the main clinical findings at each stage of the infection. In addition, it addresses treatment, emphasizing the importance of early detection and appropriate intervention to prevent complications, guiding health professionals with essential knowledge to effectively diagnose cases of this disease of epidemic proportions in our state and country. Made available on an online academic platform and widely disseminated, more than a thousand downloads were recorded in a period of just six months. In addition, a lecture event was held at the city hall of Rio de Janeiro, using the booklet as a reference, aiming to interact with health professionals, providing guidance and answering their questions live. The dissemination of this knowledge is essential to promote early and effective intervention, essential in reducing morbidity and changing the epidemic situation currently faced. It is expected that, by adopting these guidelines, there will be a positive impact on the control of acquired oral syphilis in our municipality, state, even in our country and abroad, since the online format allows a wide possibility of sharing information.
