Objective: The objective was to discuss how to act in front of the crack and other drugs from the perspective of nursing students. Methods: We applied the methodology of action research with fourteen nursing students in a University Center in the city of Teresina-PI, held in the month from March to November 2012. Results: The lines show a professional performance with an empirical basis, the majority of scientific information without imprint and information from media and information systems. Conclusion: reflecting the need for more knowledge about the issue as they will be future nurses who will work with this theme.
ABSTRACT Objective: to reflect on the historical evolution of public policies aimed at drug users, highlighting the advances made and their contextual reality. Methodology: descriptive study consisting in a reflective analysis. For its preparation, we chose to conduct a previous narrative literature review, which allowed a broader and contextualized reflexive approach. Results: we notice along this historic pathway the disruption of a major paradigm: no restriction of this problem to the legal and police dimension, but understanding the existence of an inevitable relation between drug use and changes involving health. Conclusion: despite all advances and achievements, what can be actually noticed in political speeches on the theme are guidelines that complement and converge to the deployment of increasingly effective measures to tackle this public health problem. Descriptors: Illicit Drugs; Public Policies; Nursing. RESUMO Objetivo: refletir sobre a evolução histórica das políticas públicas direcionadas aos usuários de drogas, destacando os avanços obtidos e sua realidade contextual. Metodologia: estudo descritivo do tipo análise reflexiva. Para sua elaboração, optou-se por uma revisão narrativa da literatura prévia, o que possibilitou uma abordagem reflexiva ampliada e contextualizada. Resultados: percebe-se ao longo desse percurso histórico o rompimento de um importante paradigma: a não restrição dessa problemática à dimensão jurídica e policial, mas a compreensão da existência de uma relação inevitável entre o consumo de drogas e as alterações envolvendo a saúde. Conclusão: apesar de todos os avanços e conquistas, o que de fato se percebe nos discursos políticos sobre o tema são diretrizes que se complementam e convergem para a implementação de medidas cada vez mais efetivas para enfrentar esse problema de saúde pública.

Objective: Describe the knowledge of nursing students about drugs and the drug control policies. Method: Descriptive study with a qualitative approach, in which we applied the methodology of action research. Conducted in a University Center seventeen graduating nursing. Results: Results emerging speech showed empirical knowledge and general, constructed from information from the media or their own common sense, devoid of scientific and away from the current public policies that address this issue. Conclusion: The study shows the need for further intervention in the academic phase for better care professional.
Objectives: To describe and understand ideas of adolescents on the crack use prevention. Method: A qualitative study with the action research method was conducted, located at the Family Health Strategy, a community located in the state of Maranhao. The subjects were eleven adolescents. The data were collected by means of seminars and analyzed using content analysis. Results: It was observed that adolescents have the conception that the use of crack can be triggered by a lack of information. They feel the need to be more prepared in order to better understand the possible ways of prevention, complications and risks resulting from crack abuse. Conclusion: It is concluded that the professionals of the Family Health Strategy need to be more prepared when it comes to adolescents, so they can actually recognize the real needs of these individuals.
Objective: to review the scientific evidence on the links between substance abuse and violence in the female universe. Methods: integrative review on the basis of Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences Data, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health. The revision process was guided by the question: what is the relationship between substance abuse and violence in the feminine universe? Results: from the literature search we identified 16 primary studies. The synthesis of knowledge showed multiple face of violence against women, the risk factors associated with emphasis on the use of psychoactive substances. Conclusion: evidence suggests that violence against women can be physical, psychological and sexual. These bring significant implications for the physical and mental health of the victim, making emergent the implementation of effective measures that help to reduce this problem and to minimize the consequences.
Objectives: To understand the perception of nursing students about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs in the context of their academic training. Method: This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach using as production technique of the interview data with 15 nursing students of a private institution of higher education. Results: Data were grouped into two categories: knowledge of graduating nursing students on alcohol, tobacco and other drugs and academic formation versus practical application. Conclusion: The study shows a predominance of some participants' knowledge of drugs with specific information, without a more profound reflection on the subject in question on the politics of confrontation and actions of nurses.
INTRODUCTION: Since the WHO declared COVID-19 as a pandemic, the spread of the new coronavirus has been the focus of attention of scientists, governments and populations. One of the main concerns is the impact of this pandemic on health outcomes, mainly on mental health. Even though there are a few empirical studies on COVID-19 and mental health, so far, there is no systematic review about the impact of COVID-19 on mental health of young people and adults yet. We aim to critically synthesise the scientific evidence about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of young people and adults. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A systematic review will be performed through eight databases: MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), ISI-of-Knowledge, CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), EMBASE (Excerpta Medica Database), SCOPUS, LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature), PsycINFO (Psychology Information) and CNKI (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure), from inception until 30 June 2020. No restriction regarding the publication date, setting or languages will be considered. Preliminary search strategies were carried out on 29 March 2020 and will be updated in June 2020. The primary outcomes will be the prevalence and the severity of psychological symptoms in young people and adults (>18 years old) resulting from the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Study selection will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist. Pooled standardised mean differences and 95% CIs will be calculated. The risk of bias of the observational studies will be assessed through the Methodological Index for Non-Randomised Studies (MINORS). Additionally, if sufficient data are available, a meta-analysis will be conducted. Heterogeneity between the studies will be determined by the I(2) statistics. Subgroup analyses will also be performed. Publication bias will be checked with funnel plots and Egger's test. Heterogeneity will be ...
