Title: Caracterização dos grupos de pesquisa e perfil produtivo dos pesquisadores líderes de história da enfermagem no Brasil Author(s)/Inventor(s): Faustino, Gabriella Picoli dos Santos Advisor: Aperibense, Pacita Geovana Gama de Sousa Abstract: Introduction: This study analyzes the contemporary configuration of Research Groups (RPGs) in Nursing History in Brazil, focusing on their organizational structure and the scientific production profile of their leaders between 2000 and 2023. 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.

Title: Cólera no Haiti: uma análise da incidência, mortalidade e da letalidade no período de 2010 a 2023 Author(s)/Inventor(s): Jean Pierre, Dieuline Advisor: Souza, Maria Helena do Nascimento Abstract: Introduction: Cholera is an acute diarrheal infection caused by the ingestion of food or water contaminated with Vibrio cholerae. 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. Publisher: Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Type: Dissertação

O significado das vivências de jovens e adultos com diabetes mellitus tipo 1: contribuição para assistência à saúde.

Title: O significado das vivências de jovens e adultos com diabetes mellitus tipo 1: contribuição para assistência à saúde. Author(s)/Inventor(s): Souza, Carolina de Oliveira Baumgratz Advisor: Paz, Elisabete Pimenta Araújo Abstract: Study on the daily life of young people and adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus, developed in the philosophical and methodological framework of philosophical hermeneutics. The objectives were to understand the meanings of the experience of Diabetes Mellitus type 1 (DM1) for young people and adults in their daily life and health; to reveal the meanings of the care provided by health professionals to maintain health to young people and adults with DM1; and develop educational material in the form of a booklet with information for young people with DM1. Participated 15 young adults aged between 19 and 39 years old participated and to know the experience of this population with diabetes used the interview as a technique to obtain testimonies. The content analysis was carried out with the aid of IRaMuTeQ software, and based on the theoretical framework of philosophical hermeneutics by Hans-Georg Gadamer. From the analysis, emerged eight Units of Meaning that reflect the understanding of participants about their experience with 1DM in adulthood: 1) Receiving the diagnosis brings impact and apprehension; (2) Accepting the changes imposed by DM1 is a gradual maturing process; (3) Support for care management generally comes from family members and friends; (4) The work environment in the context of DM1; (5) Challenges imposed to maintain care and preserve health; (6) Feelings related to care with health professionals; (7) The health system and its impact on the lives of people with DM1; and (8) Meanings attributed to the condition of being a person with Diabetes Mellitus type 1. The existential analysis showed that throughout their trajectory with DM1, young people and adults face tensions between being like others and taking care of them in an authentic way, especially in the face of social demands and the search for autonomy. The study revealed that diagnosis and prolonged coexistence with DM1 require constant renegotiations of meanings, which change throughout the phases of life, and involve both the body and subjectivity. The study also pointed out that the recognition of health care is an inseparable part of being what demands a sensitive listening by health professionals, in overcoming traditional prescribing practices, towards a care that considers the uniqueness of each individual’s life trajectory.

Title: Infecção latente pelo Mycobacterium tuberculosis em trabalhadores da saúde Author(s)/Inventor(s): Santos, Raphael Sampaio dos Advisor: Zeitoune, Regina Célia Gollner Abstract: The study analyzed the prevalence of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection among healthcare workers at a federal university hospital in Rio de Janeiro. This was a cross-sectional epidemiological study conducted with 228 professionals, using a sociodemographic, occupational, health, and exposure questionnaire, as well as records of the tuberculin skin test. Data were processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 21.0, and analyzed through bivariate tests using odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Pearson’s chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test, when appropriate, were applied, adopting a significance level of p < 0.05. Higher odds of LTBI were observed among female workers (OR = 1.96; 95% CI = 0.8–4.5), non-white individuals (OR = 1.44; 95% CI = 0.8–2.5), older age groups (OR = 1.36; 95% CI = 0.7–2.3), those with longer professional experience in healthcare (OR = 1.15; 95% CI = 0.6–2.0), multiple employment links (OR = 1.45; 95% CI = 0.8–2.5), and workloads exceeding 40 hours per week (OR = 1.17; 95% CI = 0.6–2.0). The nursing category presented significantly higher odds of infection (OR = 2.28; 95% CI = 1.25– 4.1; p = 0.007). Increased odds were also observed among workers with BCG scars (OR = 2.01; 95% CI = 0.5–7.4), those reporting BCG revaccination (OR = 2.87; 95% CI = 1.5–5.3), and those with diabetes or other comorbidities (OR = 1.47; 95% CI = 0.40–4.70) or using immunosuppressive drugs (OR = 3.84; 95% CI = 0.3–43.0). A trend toward higher risk was identified among individuals with known occupational contact with tuberculosis cases (OR = 1.56; 95% CI = 0.6–3.5). Household contact showed a higher LTBI proportion (60.0% among exposed individuals) but without statistical significance (p = 0.344). Similarly, contact with patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis in the previous year slightly increased the risk but was not statistically significant (OR = 1.06; 95% CI = 0.6–1.8). Most participants (47.4%) reported inadequate workplace infrastructure, and 87.3% stated that PFF2/N95 masks were available; however, inadequate mask use showed no significant association with LTBI (OR = 1.39; 95% CI = 0.6–3.2) and was considered a confounding factor. Smoking was not associated with LTBI (OR = 0.93; 95% CI = 0.30–2.60). The study enabled the training of nursing technicians in the administration and reading of the tuberculin skin test, as well as in the surveillance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. The findings reaffirm that working conditions are structural and decisive factors for occupational exposure to the pathogen, constituting determinants of latent tuberculosis infection among healthcare workers.
