Title: Mapeamento do estilo de liderança da equipe de enfermagem Abstract: Objective: to identify and characterize the predominant leadership style among nurses in the Adult Intensive Care Units and Medical Clinic of a university hospital. Methods: This is a descriptive and analytical field study with a cross-sectional design, conducted with a convenience sample of 32 nurses. Data collection took place at a single point in time, using a sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire, the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), and the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ). The Binomial test was used to assess associations between sociodemographic variables, leadership styles, and work units, from August to September 2025. Results: Transformational leadership was predominant (87.5%), followed by transactional leadership (12.5%), with no occurrence of laissez-faire leadership and no significant differences between units. Authentic leadership presented moderate levels, associated with institutional service time between 11 and 20 years and the night shift. Conclusion: The study contributed to the understanding of the influence of nurse leadership on the quality of care, supporting strategies for improving management and patient safety in the hospital context.

Title: Tendência temporal dos indicadores da alimentação infantil e sua associação com fatores sociodemográficos entre crianças de 6 a 23 meses de idade em países da América Latina e do Caribe nas décadas de 2000 e 2010 Abstract: Introduction: Infant and young child feeding indicators were primarily developed to monitor progress toward established targets and to assess the impact of public policies on infant and young child nutrition. Objectives: To analyze temporal trends in infant and young child feeding indicators during the 2000s and 2010s and to examine their association with sociodemographic factors among children aged 6–23 months living in Latin America and the Caribbean in the 2010s. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), and the Brazilian National Survey on Child Nutrition (ENANI), conducted during the 2000s and 2010s among children aged 6–23 months living in Latin American and Caribbean countries. To describe the prevalence of infant and young child feeding practices across the two decades, indicators proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2021) were used: continued breastfeeding (CBF); introduction of solid, semi-solid, or soft foods (ISSSF); minimum dietary diversity (MDD); minimum meal frequency (MMF); consumption of eggs and/or flesh foods (EFF); and zero consumption of fruits or vegetables (ZFV). The sociodemographic variables analyzed included child sex and age; maternal age and education; marital status; number of children; household wealth index; and area of residence. Temporal trends were assessed using prevalence estimates and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) by country and survey year. Associations between sociodemographic factors and feeding indicators were examined using multilevel logistic regression models, with calculation of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results were expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI. Results: Continued breastfeeding showed a declining trend in Haiti, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic, with reductions ranging from −9.2 to −35.2 percentage points. The prevalence of ISSSF exceeded 80% in the most recent surveys, with increases observed in Haiti and Peru. Both MDD and MMF increased in Peru (+6.5 percentage points) and the Dominican Republic (+29.5 percentage points). The EFF indicator increased in Honduras, Peru, and the Dominican Republic, reaching prevalences above 80%, while ZFV decreased in Peru and the Dominican Republic. Older children had lower odds of continued breastfeeding (OR=0.15; 95% CI=0.12–0.19) and higher odds of meeting ISSSF (OR=2.71; 95% CI=2.01–3.64), MDD (OR=1.66; 95% CI=1.23–2.24), MMF (OR=2.71; 95% CI=2.01–3.64), and EFF (OR=2.41; 95% CI=1.97–2.94), as well as lower odds of ZFV (OR=0.70; 95% CI=0.59–0.83). Older mothers had higher odds of meeting CBF (OR=2.29; 95% CI=1.60–3.27), ISSSF (OR=2.01; 95% CI=1.02–3.97), MDD (OR=3.19; 95% CI=1.40–6.90), and MMF (OR=5.10; 95% CI=2.89–8.98), and lower odds of ZFV (OR=0.49; 95% CI=0.36–0.48). Mothers with higher education had lower odds of continued breastfeeding (OR=0.53; 95% CI=0.37–0.76) and higher odds of meeting the EFF and ZFV indicators. A higher number of children and rural residence were associated with lower odds of meeting ISSSF, MMF, EFF, and ZFV. The proportion of variance in feeding indicators explained by the contextual level ranged from 19% for ZFV to 55% for MDD. Conclusion: Continued breastfeeding showed a declining trend between the 2000s and 2010s; however, an overall improvement was observed in other infant and young child feeding indicators. Children older than 12 months and those whose mothers were older and more educated had higher odds of meeting infant and young child feeding recommendations. In contrast, children living in rural areas and those whose mothers had a higher number of children were less likely to meet these indicators.

Estigma do peso, atitudes e crenças relacionadas à obesidade em estudantes universitários da área da saúde de uma universidade de Minas Gerais

Title: Estigma do peso, atitudes e crenças relacionadas à obesidade em estudantes universitários da área da saúde de uma universidade de Minas Gerais Abstract: Introduction: Weight stigma, characterized by socially devalued weight-related behaviors that deviate from societal norms, primarily affects individuals with overweight or obesity, resulting in detrimental physical, mental, and psychosocial health outcomes. It is well-established that health professionals and students may harbor stigmatizing beliefs and attitudes toward obesity, which can compromise clinical care. Objective: To evaluate the correlation between obesity-related attitudes and beliefs and disordered eating behaviors among health science students at the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU) - MG. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional, mixed-methods (qualitative-quantitative) study. Recruitment was conducted via digital media and on-campus outreach, targeting students aged ≥18 years, of all genders, actively enrolled in health science courses at UFU. Data collection utilized the Microsoft Forms® platform with the following validated instruments: a Sociodemographic Characterization Questionnaire; the Fat Phobia Scale (Short Version); the Beliefs About Obese Persons (BAOP) Scale; the Modified Weight Bias Internalization Scale (WBIS-M); the Anti-Obesity Attitudes Scale; the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ); and the Short Disordered Eating Attitudes Scale (SDEAS). Focus groups were conducted in person with interested participants, incorporating the Silhouette Scale to assess body image perception. Quantitative data were analyzed using Jamovi® software (descriptive statistics and Spearman’s correlation), while qualitative data underwent Content Analysis supported by IRAMUTEQ® software. Results: Among the 385 participants in the quantitative phase, significant levels of internalized stigma were identified (mean: 3.25; 46.4% of the maximum score), which correlated significantly with BMI, disordered eating, and body dissatisfaction (p < .001). High levels of fatphobia (mean: 3.53; 70.6% of the maximum score) and individual culpability/blame (mean: 20.8; 43.3% of the maximum score) were also observed. The qualitative analysis yielded three thematic cores: "Conceptualizing stigma: ambiguity and lack of clarity"; "Beliefs regarding the individual with obesity"; and "The interplay of body image, diet, and professional identity during undergraduate training." Conclusion: The university population exhibits significant levels of weight stigma, fatphobia, and internalized bias. These factors are associated with disordered eating behaviors and have a deleterious impact on self-image perception within the context of professional training.
