This study aimed to identify the main patient classification systems used in home care in Brazil and to analyze how Brazilian legislation addresses home care within this context. This is an integrative literature review conducted in six stages: identification of the guiding question, establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature search, critical appraisal of studies, data analysis, and synthesis of findings. Searches were performed in the SciELO, BVS, and PubMed databases using the descriptors “Home Care,” “Personnel Staffing and Scheduling,” and “Triage,” combined with Boolean operators. The study selection process was organized according to PRISMA recommendations, adapted to the integrative review design. After applying the eligibility criteria, three studies composed the final sample. The findings reveal a scarcity of recent scientific publications addressing specific staffing systems for home care and highlight methodological proposals aimed at estimating nursing care hours based on patient dependency and care complexity. From a regulatory perspective, Brazilian legislation establishes general guidelines for workforce planning in nursing but does not provide exclusive and detailed parameters for home care services. It is concluded that the absence of specific regulation indicates the need for stronger scientific consolidation and regulatory development to enhance technical and legal security in this field. 2026-03-12T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48528 Title: Ansiedade e tabagismo: impactos na autopercepção da saúde e nas tentativas de parar de fumar Abstract: Smoking is a multifactorial phenomenon associated with significant individual and collective health impacts, maintained not only by nicotine dependence but also by interrelated behavioral and psychological processes. Although the association between smoking and anxiety is well-established in the literature, it is important to understand how anxiety symptoms manifest in smoker behavior. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the role of anxiety in smoking behavior and the subjective experience of smokers undergoing cessation treatment. This study was conducted with 110 smokers who voluntarily participated in a smoking cessation group at the Amélio Marques Outpatient Clinic of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Uberlândia. The results demonstrated that the presence of anxiety symptoms was significantly associated with a greater number of previous cessation attempts, indicating a pattern of recurrent attempts to stop the habit. Furthermore, smokers with anxiety symptoms showed a more negative self-assessment of their health status, highlighting the direct impact of anxiety on the subjective experience of illness. The findings emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary therapeutic strategies that integrate the management of emotional and behavioral aspects into the treatment of nicotine dependence, increasing the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions.; El tabaquismo es un fenómeno multifactorial asociado con importantes impactos en la salud individual y colectiva, sustentado no solo por la dependencia a la nicotina, sino también por procesos conductuales y psicológicos interrelacionados. Si bien la asociación entre el tabaquismo y la ansiedad está bien establecida en la literatura, es importante comprender cómo se manifiestan los síntomas de ansiedad en el comportamiento del fumador. Por lo tanto, este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar el papel de la ansiedad en el comportamiento del fumador y la experiencia subjetiva de los fumadores en tratamiento para dejar de fumar. Este estudio se realizó con 110 fumadores que participaron voluntariamente en un grupo de cesación tabáquica en el Ambulatorio Amélio Marques del Hospital Universitario de la Universidad Federal de Uberlândia. Los resultados demostraron que la presencia de síntomas de ansiedad se asoció significativamente con un mayor número de intentos previos de dejar de fumar, lo que indica un patrón de intentos recurrentes para abandonar el hábito. Además, los fumadores con síntomas de ansiedad mostraron una autoevaluación más negativa de su estado de salud, lo que pone de relieve el impacto directo de la ansiedad en la experiencia subjetiva de la enfermedad. Los hallazgos enfatizan la importancia de las estrategias terapéuticas multidisciplinarias que integran la gestión de los aspectos emocionales y conductuales en el tratamiento de la dependencia a la nicotina, aumentando así la eficacia de las intervenciones para dejar de fumar. 2026-03-10T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48505 Title: O impacto das intervenções educacionais de enfermagem no enfrentamento do câncer de próstata: uma revisão integrativa Abstract: The National Policy for Comprehensive Men's Health Care (PNAISH), created in 2009 by the Ministry of Health, seeks to promote care and prevent common health problems among men, such as prostate cancer. However, many avoid seeking services preventively, resorting to care only in emergency situations. In this context, nursing plays a central role in developing educational actions that encourage health promotion, prevention, and adherence to care. Objective: To analyze the role of nurses in men's health education for prostate cancer prevention, identifying strategies, perceptions, impacts on adherence, and challenges. Methodology: An integrative review was conducted in the PubMed, CAPES Portal, LILACS, and SciELO databases. Articles in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, with free access and full text, addressing health education conducted by nursing focused on the prevention or reduction of prostate cancer were included. Paid publications, duplicates, editorials, letters to the editor, abstracts, and irrelevant studies were excluded. Nine articles comprised the sample. Results: Health education provided by nurses contributes to demystifying prostate cancer, breaking down cultural barriers associated with masculinity, expanding knowledge about prevention, and encouraging adherence to care practices. In short, there were positive impacts on reducing inequalities and improving comprehensive care. Conclusion: The importance of expanding educational strategies based on humanized approaches that respect male autonomy and reinforce the nurse as an essential agent in health promotion and prostate cancer prevention is highlighted. 2026-02-20T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48498 Title: Intervenções de enfermagem no manejo da dor mamária e seus efeitos na continuidade do aleitamento materno: revisão integrativa da literatura Abstract: Breastfeeding is an essential physiological process for maternal and child health, contributing to the child’s nutritional, immunological, and emotional development, as well as providing physical and psychological benefits to women. However, breast complications and pain during lactation may compromise the continuity of breastfeeding, especially in the puerperal period. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of nursing interventions in managing breast pain and their impact on breastfeeding continuity. An integrative literature review with a qualitative and descriptive approach was conducted, including studies published between 2015 and 2025. The findings indicate that evidence-based interventions, combined with continuous support and a welcoming approach, reduce breast complications, prevent early weaning, and strengthen the mother–infant bond. Strengthening nursing care is therefore essential to ensure successful and sustained breastfeeding. 2026-02-26T00:00:00Z
