Objetivo: analisar as atitudes dos enfermeiros gestores face à morte, antes e após o período crítico da pandemia por COVID-19. Método: estudo quantitativo, transversal e comparativo, realizado em uma instituição hospitalar do Norte de Portugal. A coleta de dados ocorreu através de questionário, que integrava a Escala de Avaliação do Perfil de Atitudes acerca da Morte, em dois momentos. O primeiro ocorreu em 2018, com participação de 28 enfermeiros gestores, e o segundo, em 2020, com 21 enfermeiros gestores. Resultados: globalmente, os participantes manifestaram maior concordância com as atitudes “aceitação neutral/neutralidade” e “medo”. Embora algumas das cinco dimensões das atitudes não tenham apresentado diferenças significativas entre o primeiro e segundo momento, constatou-se que em relação à “aceitação como aproximação”, a média obtida no momento, após o período crítico da pandemia por COVID-19, foi superior. Conclusão: a partir dos resultados emerge a importância de se investir na preparação dos enfermeiros gestores para lidar com a morte e o processo de morrer, com uma dupla intencionalidade: minimizar o seu sofrimento e assegurar a otimização do acompanhamento e apoio aos enfermeiros da equipe que lidera.

Objetivo: investigar na literatura o impacto da pandemia causada pelo novo coronavírus na saúde mental das crianças. Método: revisão integrativa de artigos publicados no ano de 2020 através de buscas na Medline, Lilacs, BDENF, IBECS e BINACIS, a partir da pergunta norteadora: quais as considerações da literatura sobre o impacto da pandemia causada pelo novo coronavírus na saúde mental das crianças? Resultados: nos artigos analisados, observou-se que a pandemia e fatores a ela relacionados podem causar impacto negativo na saúde mental das crianças. Quarentena, infecção pelo vírus, contágio ou morte dos pais devido à doença, crise econômica e uso prolongado da internet são alguns dos motivos que podem afetar a saúde mental infantil. Conclusão: medidas preventivas e informações corretas sobre a doença são fundamentais para proteger a saúde mental das crianças durante a pandemia causada pelo novo coronavírus.

  The study focuses on knowing the impact of the stressor on the population of Tanicuchi, a parish belonging to the canton of Latacunga. The methodology applied in the research is of a qualitative approach with a type of inductive research and with a descriptive scope. The research considered the population of the Type C Lasso Health Center, patients between 25 and 65 years old, the sample and in this sense 98 registered people were determined and a semi-structured interview was applied, the interview was intended to know the situation before and after from the closure of the Panamericana Sur - 2014. Based on the results, a considerable change in activity is evident and it is evident that the economy is worsening. Now, when it comes to lifestyle, a large part of the population shows a deterioration in their lifestyle. On the other hand, in almost a quarter of the population evaluated it is evident that they still do not adapt to the change generated by the stressor. Then, it is concluded that the stressor had a considerable impact on aspects, such as work activity, the economy and lifestyle.  

In the present research, a theoretical concentration is offered about the process of formation of student leaders in the pedagogical-sports careers. The general objective was directed to design a strategy that contributes to the formation process of student leaders from the university extension in the Physical Culture career, of the University of Pinar del Río. The results corresponding to its first two research tasks were presented. The general approach of the research was the dialectical-materialistic one, and methods from the theoretical level and from the empirical level were used, such as the analysis of documents, the interview and the survey. The research study carried out about the process of formation of student leaders, from the university extension, is centered in the reality of Cuban university, from a critical look about the social assignment that a professional of Physical Culture has to fulfill his/her goal in a competitive way. The active performance of the student in the socialization and cooperation during the execution of the activities that he/she carries out in the university context and in the community constitute fundamental premises.

Insufficiencies detected in the performance of leg techniques of the school judokas of Pinar del Río motivated the realization of this research, which aims to develop a set of special exercises that contribute to the development of the work of coaches with this group of techniques to improve the performance of the 14 athletes in this category. At the beginning of this study, observations were made of training sessions, control stops and preparatory competitions to obtain direct information on how these actions are manifested. An interview with the coaches was also used to find out their knowledge, criteria, and performance at work with these techniques, and the survey was used to assess the athletes' knowledge about the importance of technical preparation in these actions. In addition, a measurement was carried out by means of a technical test, to know the behavior of the execution of these in the athletes reason for research, in which the variables analyzed were: score obtained, total of actions and form of performance (direct, combination or as a counterattack). This study found the knowledge of the deficiencies presented by these athletes, in the execution of leg techniques, which negatively influence competitive results since these are performed with great frequency during combat due to their link with other techniques in performing combinations and counterattacks. This work is a valuable tool for the work of the coaches aimed at the technical preparation of the judoka.

For more than half a century, the countries that dominate the Olympic medal standings have focused their efforts not only on optimizing athletic training but also on finding that superhuman subject that can endure and assimilate the rigors of sports training for an increasingly demanding competition. In this sense, the scientific models for the selection of potentially talented athletes take the lead, offering, through predictive performance tests, a more accurate vision of how an athlete could correspond to a particular sport activity. The objective of the present investigation is to design a tactical purpose model that contributes to selecting potentially talented athletes to perform in combat sports. For this purpose, we developed a tool that facilitates the methodological process for preparing the selection model in correspondence with the demands of the competition. Empirical methods such as document review, survey, criteria of specialists and users were mainly used, taking into account that in sport and especially combat sports due to its tactical purpose, the path to success is an integrated process.

Basketball is a team sport, classified as a ball game, practiced in two modalities; 3 vs. 3 or 5 vs. 5. The demands of competitive activity force more and more to improve the preparation and train attending to the individualities of the basketball players to integrate a winning team. In the school and youth stage the technical aspects are consolidated to contribute to achieving better results in the sports master stage. The objective was to diagnose the predominant laterality patterns in these reserve and school athletes of the Havana Men's basketball team, which allowed us to determine motor strengths and weaknesses due to genetic makeup. Theoretical and empirical level methods such as the survey, document review and measurement of the total members of the researched team were used. As results, we obtained that nine athletes have a homogeneous laterality pattern and seven are crossed, which will help to optimize technical preparation.

In the search for relevance in the context of improving the components of physical preparation at high performance levels for beach volleyball, this research is undertaken to analyse elements related to jumping behaviour in young beach volleyball athletes at the EIDE in Pinar del Río. For this purpose, the use of scientific, theoretical and empirical methods was taken into account, such as document review and measurement, which guaranteed the fulfilment of the proposed objectives. The results obtained provide a series of important data on the individual and collective particularities of the athletes studied, which will provide valuable information to the coaches that will allow them to direct the work in the sense of training programming.
