Health literacy, a more complex concept than knowledge, is a required capacity to obtain, understand, integrate and act on health information [1], in order to enhance individual and community health, which is defined by different levels, according to the autonomy and personal capacitation in decision making [2]. Medium levels of Health literacy in an adolescent population were found in a study conducted in 2013/2014, being higher in sexual and reproductive health and lower in substance use. It was also noticed that the higher levels of health literacy were in the area adolescents refer to have receipt more health information. The health literacy competence with higher scores was communication skills, and the lower scores were in the capacity to analyze factors that influence health. Higher levels were also found in younger teenagers, but in a higher school level, confirming the importance of health education in these age and development stage. Adolescents seek more information in health professionals and parents, being friends more valued as a source information in older adolescents, which enhance the importance of peer education mainly in older adolescents [3].

The valued sources of information should be taken into account, as well as needs of information in some topics referred by adolescents in an efficient health education.

Objective: analyze the knowledge of hospital nurses about the ethical and legal aspects in nursing care for domestic violence victims.Method: qualitative research, involving 34 nurses at two hospital in the city of Rio Grande-RS (Brazil). The data were collected between May and August 2014 through semistructured interviews and analyzed by means of the software Analyse Lexicale par Contexte d'un Ensemble de Segment de Texte, which groups the lexicons with similar roots, constituting the classes according to the function of the words in the text.Results: the class generated two subclasses: the nurses' (lack of) knowledge on the legal competences, in which the confusion between a police compliant and a mandatory report was observed; and (lack of) knowledge on the ethical competences, in which they mention the need for secrecy, advice and privacy in the care process.

ObjectiveTo evaluate physical and psychological dimensions of adolescent labor (such as job demands, job control, and social support in the work environment), and their relation to reported body pain, work injuries, sleep duration and daily working hours. Methods A total of 354 adolescents attending evening classes at a public school in São Paulo, Brazil, answered questionnaires regarding their living and working conditions (Karasek's Job Content Questionnaire, 1998), and their health status. Data collection took place in April and May 2001. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine relations among variables. ResultsPsychological job demands were related to body pain (OR=3.3), higher risk of work injuries (OR=3.0) and reduced sleep duration in weekdays (Monday to Thursday) (p<0.01). Lower decision authority in the workplace (p=0.03) and higher job security (p=0.02) were related to longer daily working hours. Conclusions It was concluded that besides physical stressors, psychological factors are to be taken into account when studying adolescent working conditions, as they may be associated with negative job conditions and health effects.
