Higher education in health has been undergoing changes in the area of knowledge, incorporating teaching strategies focused on the student, as indicated by the National Curricular Guidelines. Active Learning Methods may have the potential to promote coordination between universities and health services, favoring a sense of social responsibility and commitment to citizenship to promote integral human health. Objective To analyze teachers' understanding of the possibilities for developing Active Learning Methods in Nursing Undergraduate courses in the evening period. Method Qualitative and field research, with 21 professors of the Nursing Courses in the evening period of the two Institutions, through semi-structured interviews. The data were interpreted using the Content Analysis technique, in the Thematic modality, developed in three stages: Pre-analysis, Exploration of the material and Treatment of results, inference and interpretation. Results From the analysis of the data obtained, four thematic categories were structured: 1-Student-centered learning- Problem-Based Learning; Student protagonism; Teacher as facilitator and mediator of the teaching and learning process2- Factors that enable Active Learning at night - Initial leveling and appreciation of students' prior knowledge; Teacher Training; Use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies; Review of the PPC according to the DCN; Infrastructure, 3- Factors that hinder Active Learning at night- Traditional teacher training; Large number of students to carry out visits, internships for observation and correlation of theory with practice; Difficulties of teachers and students and 4- Suggestions for developing Active Learning Methods at night - Problematization; Flipped classroom; TBL; Simulation; Interdisciplinarity. Final considerations The different strategies described for training indicated their possibilities in teaching nursing at night and demonstrated that teachers are moving towards understanding and developing Active Learning.

Introduction: The Material and Sterilization Center (CME) is the sector responsible for processing materials for use in health care. The CME has the assistance of the Hospital Infection Control Commission (CCIH) team, with the objective of preparing and guaranteeing the quality of all stages of processing, in order to reduce the rates of infection related to health care and, thus, contribute to patient safety. Objectives: To analyze the literary evidence and the understanding that the CME nursing team has regarding the processing of health materials, current legislation, about the importance of their work for patient safety. Method: Qualitative field research, based on Hermeneutics-Dialectics, developed in a public hospital in the interior of the State of São Paulo. 21 professionals from the team participated through semi-structured interviews. Results: From the analysis of the meanings obtained in the speeches of the participants, six analytical categories emerged: 1. Understanding the stages of the work process in the CSSD; 2. Misunderstanding of ANVISA legislation (RDC 2605, 156, 15); 3. Understanding the importance of the CME's work for patient safety; Final considerations: From the Hermeneutics-Dialectics, it was evident how nursing understands its work process and the importance for patient safety, indicating the needs and demands for carrying out its activities and the need to continue learning in everyday life from work.

Introduction: Violence against the elderly is an important public health problem, since the natural wear and tear of the body resulting from the aging process makes them more vulnerable. In this context, it is important to sensitize society as a whole to face the problem, and games can be used as active educational strategies to approach the theme. Objective: To report the experience of a group of university students from different areas of knowledge, in the Gamification process aimed at preventing violence against the elderly. Methods: This is a qualitative study, which used the experience report technique. For its organization, the following steps were followed: description of the time period, the place, the axis of the experience, type of experience, public of the interventional action, resources, actions, instruments, analysis criteria and ethics. It was developed in a medium-sized municipality, involving university students from different areas of training, from December 2022 to February 2023. Results: 40 students from different areas of training participated in the activity, which were divided into six small groups, after receiving instructions on violence against the elderly and gamification by specialists in the subject. Six game proposals were elaborated, to be developed in different scenarios and actors. Conclusions: Gamification represents a powerful instrument to stimulate and favor the development of the ability to elaborate passable solutions, collaborating in the approach of sensitive themes, as is the case of violence against the elderly, through prevention actions, and awareness and meaningful learning.

Introduction: With population aging, the epidemiological profile has turned to non-communicable chronic diseases, and diseases such as cancer have become more frequent, which requires greater knowledge of the health professional to develop the necessary care. Goals: To analyze the development of health care in Primary Health Care for people with malignant neoplasms from the perspective of integrality. Methods: This is a study with a qualitative approach carried out in four teams of the Family Health Strategy and the Expanded Nucleus of Family Health. Data collection was carried out through a focus group with professionals from different professional categories. Results: Data were analyzed through content analysis, thematic modality, which allowed the elaboration of four themes, however the content to be explored in this article concerns the potential and challenges in the implementation of oncological care in a network, contemplating teaching articulation -service and E-SUS as a tool that enhances communication; and as a challenge, the difficult access to specialized services and the devaluation of Primary Health Care by the other levels of care. Conclusions: The team's resourcefulness in scheduling and its readiness was identified as potential, optimizing referrals to specialty services, providing a comprehensive approach. Weaknesses in the organizational arrangements of the Health Care Networks are highlighted, highlighting the lack of communication between the levels of care, the discontinuity of information and the inexistence or little use of counterreferral. For the articulation of Health Care Networks and for Primary Health Care to be efficient, the creation of spaces for discussion between professionals from other levels and Primary Health Care.

Violence is such a complex process in humanity that educational interventions that address this issue are essential in the search for a safer and fairer society. Main Goal: To analyze how the educational processes on violence against the elderly have been carried out, based on an integrative literature review. Methods: This is an integrative of literature review carried out at the Web of Science, Scopus, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS) and Medical Literature and Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline) databases with the subject descriptors "elderly", "violence", "health education" and "young adult". All English, Portuguese and Spanish languages were included, and those for literature review and theoretical reflections were excluded. We identified 1211 articles and after removing the repetitions and following successively the full reading of the titles, abstracts and articles, 12 articles that responded to the purpose of the study were selected. The NVIVO software was used as a tool for qualitative analysis of the results. Results: Different strategies are used to carry out the educational processes, including simulation, didactic classes, use of videos, lectures, online training, learning from professional practice, workshop and case studies, emphasizing the tendency to use more than one strategy. Conclusions: Different educational strategies were used to address violence against the elderly, highlighting those that seek proactivity and effective involvement of students. The selected studies corroborate the importance of working on the subject with young adults, highlighting that the acquisition of knowledge, changes in perception and attitude require specific, complex interventions with successive approximations.
