Adaptive modes of adults' men during the COVID-19: qualitative analysis under Roy model / Modos de adaptación de hombres adultos durante el COVID-19: análisis cualitativo bajo el modelo de Roy / Modos adaptativos de homens adultos durante a COVID-19: análise qualitativa sob o modelo de Roy

Objective. This study aims to understand how adult men adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. Qualitative study involving 45 adult men residing in Brazil in 2020. Data were obtained from a Web Survey and treated using Reflective Thematic Analysis and interpreted in the light of Callista Roy's Adaptation Model. Results. The COVID-19 pandemic mobilized in men the ways of adaptation that are configured in: mobilization of the physiological-physical and regulatory dimension: adjustments in the sleep pattern, dietary pattern, and maintenance of physical activity; group self-concept identity: managing emotions; role function: self-knowledge and self-care; interdependence: adjustments in the marital relationship, family ties and paternity, investment in training and studies and control of excessive consumption of content on cell phones. Conclusion. The perception of the own vulnerability favored the entry of men into ways of adaptation in search of balance during the pandemic, motivating them to move through practices of taking care of themselves and taking care of others. Markers of psycho-emotional distress alert to adherence to new modes of care capable of promoting healthy transitions in the face of disruptions and uncertainties generated by the pandemic. This evidence can support the establishment of goals for nursing care aimed at men.

Objetivo. Comprender cómo se estructuran los modos de adaptación de los hombres adultos a la pandemia de COVID-19. Métodos. Estudio cualitativo que involucró 45 hombres adultos en Brasil en 2020. Los datos se recolectaron mediante la Encuesta Web y a continuación se sometieron al Análisis Temático Reflexivo e interpretados bajo el Modelo de Adaptación de Callista Roy. Resultados. La pandemia de COVID-19 movilizó en los hombres modos de adaptación que se configuran en: movilización de la dimensión fisiológico-física y reguladora: ajustes en el patrón del sueño, la alimentación y el mantenimiento de la actividad física; autoconcepto grupal de identidad: gestión de las emociones; función de rol: autoconocimiento y autocuidado; interdependencia: ajustes en la relación conyugal, vinculación familiar y paternidad, inversión en formación y estudios, y control del consumo excesivo de contenidos en el dispositivo móvil. Conclusión. La percepción de la propia vulnerabilidad favoreció el ingreso de los hombres a modos de adaptación en busca del equilibrio durante la pandemia, lo que los estimuló a transitar por prácticas de cuidarse a sí mismos y cuidar de los demás. Los marcadores de sufrimiento psicoemocional alertan sobre la adhesión a nuevos modos de atención capaces de promover transiciones saludables ante las disrupciones e incertidumbres generadas por la pandemia. Esta evidencia puede apoyar el establecimiento de metas para el cuidado de enfermería hacia los hombres.

Nursing the Future

The transition from student to practitioner for newly graduated nurses is impacted by their physical, social, professional, and practice environments. COVID-19, global insecurity, institutional restructuring, and “acute on chronic” staffing shortages have increased the immediate burden experienced by emerging nurses. As detailed through the historical development of Duchscher's Stages of Transition Theory and Transition Shock Model, theorization of the transition process offers graduates, their educators, and workplace managers key areas of support opportunities for these new practitioners. In part 1 of a 2-part article series, this article explores how novel new graduate supports have been developed and delivered in partnership with nonprofit groups, government bodies, and employers across much of Canada. For nurse stakeholders, theorists, and beyond, support for the transition period of new nurses remains anecdotally, evidentially, and fiscally advisable, with an increasing urgency due to rising human capital pressures.

Time for different stories: Reflections on IPONS panel addressing current debates in nursing theory, education and practice.

On 4 February 2021 a group of nurse scholar-educators, nurses and other interested folks came together for the second of two virtual events to think together about the role of philosophy in the nursing world. The live streamed open access event provided an opportunity in the COVID-19 pandemic for over 400 people to listen to five nursing scholars' presentations and to interact virtually through comments in chat and on the @IPONSociety Twitter social media platform. By reading the comments and questions that were generated, and by looking at the social media comments related to the event, it is apparent that philosophy is an important thinking practice for nurses but many audience members critically expressed they felt excluded. Critical issues were raised by participants in chat and on Twitter-pointedly around the need for more representative voices-including the imperative to open nursing philosophy to diverse and disparate worldviews. This dialogue provides a summary of critical points raised during the live question and answer session for the panel entitled Addressing Current Debates in Nursing Theory, Education, Practice as well as examing comments selected from the @IPONSociety Twitter space in response to the panel. One commenter said it was great to see the discussion being lifted up from the influential roots of white supremacy, while other nurses expressed that they wished the panellists themselves were more diverse. In discussion of key takeaway, links are made to historical and ongoing structural oppressions in nursing where thinking practices like nursing philosophy and theory are still dominated by world views emanating from positionalities of able-bodied cis-gendered heterosexual western eurocentric whiteness.

Mental health of female sex workers in the COVID-19 pandemic: stressors and coping strategies

The objective was to analyze the coping strategies adopted by female sex workers in the face of stressors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative study supported by Systems and Coping theories. An in-depth interview was carried out with 30 sex workers from the Alto Sertão Produtivo Baiano between September and October 2020. The narratives were submitted to the resources of hermeneutics-dialectic to orga-nize the categories. Four categories make reference to the system’s stressors: negative feelings of fear, anxiety and difficulties in sleeping with the uncertainties in the face of the pandemic;concern about personal and family support;irritability in the face of conflicts;anxieties and insecurities with working conditions. Five categories allude to cop-ing: strategies focused on the problem (pandemic);reframing and regulation of emotions;spirituality and religiosity;support networks and social sup-port;use of medications. Stressors arise as a result of sexual service experiences combined with the pandemic situation with reduced customers and income, leading to the development of negative feelings and emotions. However, coping strategies are diverse and they women made effort to deal with problems and to balance their mental health.

Finding a Better Way Through Discovery, Theory, and Nursing's Pact With Society.

This is a dialogue between two PhD nurses who have served as chief nursing officers; one is now in academia wondering about current scholarly endeavors in practice. Topics addressed include working relationships at the executive level, the chief nursing officer that is PhD prepared, theory in practice, scrambling to honor nursing's pact with society during the COVID-19 pandemic, and some recommendations for academia.
