Title: As repercussões emocionais em trabalhadores de enfermagem de Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal Abstract: Introduction: The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is a highly complex care environment, intended for the care of newborns in critical clinical conditions. The work of nursing professionals in these units is associated with emotional exhaustion, related to high workload, emotional pressure and insufficient institutional support. Objective: To develop two complementary studies, an integrative literature review and research on the articulation between emotional experiences, interpersonal relationships and health of nursing professionals in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Methodology: This is a bibliographic and field study structured in the format of a dissertation composed of two interdependent scientific articles. The first article consisted of an integrative literature review, of a descriptive-exploratory nature, carried out through an integrated search in databases, aiming to identify scientific evidence on factors associated with mental illness among nursing professionals in Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The second article corresponded to field research, also descriptive-exploratory, conducted with 30 nursing professionals from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a federal university hospital. Data collection occurred through semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, and qualitative data by lexical analysis, with the aid of the IRAMUTEQ software, used for statistical analysis of textual data, and thematic content analysis. Results: The results indicate that interpersonal relationships play a central role in mediating these processes, acting both as a protective factor that helps individuals cope with the adversities of daily work life and as a risk factor for emotional health that tends to intensify psychological distress.

Title: Atenção primária à saúde e a violência infantojuvenil: desafios e estratégias dos profissionais de saúde Abstract: Violence against children and adolescents is a serious public health problem with a massive social impact. Primary Health Care (PHC) serves as a strategic setting for addressing these issues, and its presence in the community enables health professionals to build relationships with families and identify cases of violence early on. The objective of this research was to analyze the role of Primary Health Care professionals in assisting children and adolescents in situations of violence, through the systematization of scientific knowledge and the investigation of the challenges of care and their implications for the health and work of these professionals. This research constitutes a dissertation-equivalent study, structured into two academic outputs: a book chapter and an empirical scientific article. This paper presents Chapter 3 of the book, titled “Psychological Effects of Working with Victims of Child and Adolescent Violence,” which was an integrative literature review conducted by searching for studies published between 2020 and 2025 in the PubMed, BVS, CAPES, and SciELo databases. Five manuscripts were analyzed, which allowed for the construction of three categories: Psychological impacts and traumatic distress among professionals; Lack of training and institutional support; and Coping and self-protection strategies. The second output was a scientific article titled “Child and Adolescent Violence in Primary Health Care: Challenges and Implications for Workers’ Health,” a mixed-methods study conducted with 36 primary health care professionals using an online questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, thematic content analysis, and lexical analysis with the IRaMuTeQ software. The results showed that caring for victims of child and adolescent violence exposes professionals to ethical dilemmas, external pressures, and insecurities, requiring institutional support. They also revealed vulnerabilities in the organization of care, with fragile workflows and protocols. The integration of these two approaches allowed for the synthesis of evidence from the scientific literature and empirical findings derived from the reality of service delivery, enabling a broader understanding of the challenges of caring for children and adolescents in situations of violence and their implications for the health and work of the professionals involved.

Title: A Geografia e a Luta Antirracista: uma leitura crítica do Novo Ensino Médio (2017) e da BNCC (2018) Abstract: This thesis confronts the neoliberal education project embodied in the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and the New High School (NEM), analyzing its impacts on Geography teaching and the anti-racist struggle in Minas Gerais. The investigation denounces how "perverse globalization" (Milton Santos) operates a kidnapping of geographical consciousness, replacing critical thinking with competence-based pedagogy and resulting in an "adulterated adolescence". The objective is to reveal the abyss between the Minas Gerais Reference Curriculum (CRMG) and the urgency of an anti-colonial educational praxis. Through qualitative research and a teaching experience report (2023-2025), the work mobilizes the "hegemony-liberation-new man" triad, based on Gramsci, Paulo Freire, and Samora Machel. The analysis demonstrates that the current reforms impose a logic of passivity in the face of power structures, silencing structural racism, socio-spatial contradictions, and territorial sovereignty. It concludes that school geography must break with the logic of precarious employability to reaffirm itself as an instrument of re-existence and emancipation for black and working-class youth.

Title: Qualidade de vida de médicos e médicas UTI - Adulto, Uberlândia - Minas Gerais Abstract: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Quality of Life (QoL) as “[...] a person’s perception of their position in life in the context of the cultural and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations and concerns.” Intensive care physicians are specialists in the intensive care of critically ill patients and are involved in all aspects of this care. This research is a cross-sectional observational study that evaluated the QoL of 44 physicians working in a public adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Minas Gerais through quantitative research. The main objective of the research is to evaluate the QoL of physicians and also to outline their sociodemographic profile. Two questionnaires were used – the first assessed the independent variables of interest to the study: gender, age, marital status, specialty, years since graduation, workload, and number of employment relationships (Appendix A), and the second questionnaire used was the WHOQOL-bref (Attachment B). The participants were mostly men, cisgender (56.1%), with a mean age of 42.8 ± 8.46 years, white (68.3%), heterosexual (92.8%), married or in a stable relationship (70.7%) and belonging to economic class A (60.9%). The first article analyzed the differences or correlations in QoL based on the individual characteristics of intensive care physicians. It was shown that cisgender men tend to have higher scores than cisgender women for the physical, psychological, environmental, and general domains. Divorced/separated individuals scored lower than single and married/cohabiting individuals for all domains, and single individuals scored lower than married individuals. This highlights the complexity of the factors affecting the QoL of intensive care physicians in a public service, particularly the differences in gender and marital status, and the strong influence of socioeconomic status. The second article analyzed the differences or correlations between QoL and work characteristics of the studied population and found no strong correlations between specialty, location and number of employment contracts, length of training, weekly workload, and QoL of these professionals. It was thus shown that QoL can be maintained without changes depending on each individual's perspective. It is concluded that the results of this research may be useful in evaluating the QoL of healthcare professionals and in the search for factors that promote a better QoL not only for physicians working in ICUs but also for other healthcare professionals.
