Objective: To understand the meanings surrounding the theme "professional valorization" and its implications for the actions and thinking of the subjects involved. Methods: This is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach anchored, mainly, in the theory of Symbolic Interactionism by Blumer and in the postulates of Bardin's Content Analysis. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews, with professionals and students from the various areas of nursing practice, whose central question was "What is professional valorization for you?". The dialogues were recorded and later transcribed, analyzed and categorized using the Atlas.ti software. Results: Based on the statements, it was possible to group them into categories, namely: political engagement, social feedback, investment of resources, interpersonal relationships and professional achievement. All of these categories were listed due to the direct relationship with the theme of professional valorization since the great importance of these factors was evidenced to instigate the feeling of feeling valued. Conclusion: According to the theories discussed, it was possible to ratify the interference of professional experiences and challenges in the conceptions and judgments about the central motto of this study. Moreover, the focus on political engagement and social feedback was shown to be effective ways of achieving appreciation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To describe the perception of health professionals about pregnancy secondary to sexual violence against children and adolescents. Methods: This is an excerpt from an exploratory, qualitative study carried out between June and July 2019 with five women from the multidisciplinary team of a hospital in Bahia. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, analyzed and categorized according to Badin's assumptions and interpreted in the light of Symbolic Interactionism. Results: Pregnancy secondary to sexual violence results from early sexual initiation by imposition/induction of incestuous sexual abuse or child marriage with adult men. The maintenance of pregnancy resulting from these abuses is often imposed by persuading the victim to maintain the pregnancy, by late arrival at the health service and by procrastination in carrying out the termination of pregnancy, which are ways of restricting the autonomy of children/adolescents who seek legal abortion. Because of these injunctions, the victims suffer overlaps from injuries such as psychological violence, intimate partner violence and institutional violence. Conclusion: Pregnancy resulting from sexual violence against children and adolescents may be combined with other types of violence that restrict the sexual and reproductive rights of children and adolescents.
