Título: Manejo e desafios enfrentados por enfermeiros em urgências e emergências cardíacas: estudo transversal Abstact: Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Brazil and worldwide, requiring nursing professionals to possess scientific knowledge, specific skills, and the ability to respond promptly in emergency situations. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the nursing team's perception of their ability to act in cardiac emergencies, identify the influence of training and continuing education on the qualification of care, and understand the main difficulties faced by nurses in managing cardiac urgencies and emergencies. This is a field study with a qualitative approach, conducted with nurses working in a municipal hospital in the countryside of Maranhão, Brazil. Data collection was carried out through a semi-structured questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that participants had a positive perception of their ability to perform in cardiac emergencies, highlighting the importance of technical knowledge, professional experience, and self- confidence in decision-making. Training and continuing education were identified as fundamental tools for improving professional competencies, contributing to the safety and quality of care. However, challenges related to insufficient material resources, structural limitations, lack of equipment, and the need for continuous training were also identified. It is concluded that ongoing professional qualification, combined with strengthened infrastructure and adequate resource availability, is essential for improving nursing care provided to patients in cardiac urgency and emergency situations.

Título: Saberes e práticas de adolescentes sobre métodos contraceptivos Abstact: Adolescence is a period marked by intense physical, emotional, and social changes and is also a stage of greater vulnerability regarding sexual and reproductive health. In this context, knowledge and proper use of contraceptive methods are essential for preventing unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This study aimed to understand adolescents’ knowledge and practices regarding contraceptive methods. This is a mixed-methods descriptive study conducted with 183 high school students enrolled in public schools in the municipality of Grajaú, Maranhão, Brazil. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire containing closed- and openended questions. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were subjected to Bardin’s content analysis. The results showed that 95.1% of the adolescents reported knowing about contraceptive methods, 90.7% recognized their importance in preventing unplanned pregnancy, and 91.3% identified condoms as an effective method for preventing sexually transmitted infections. Male condoms were the best-known and most commonly used contraceptive method among participants. Despite this, only 51.4% reported using any contraceptive method. The main barriers identified were embarrassment, fear of judgment, and lack of information. It is concluded that adolescents have knowledge about contraception and recognize the importance of contraceptive methods in preventing unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. However, difficulties were identified in translating this knowledge into regular preventive practices. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen health education actions and expand spaces for dialogue among schools, families, and health services
