Aims:The aim of this study is to verify the clinical validity of clinical indicators and aetiological factors of sedentary lifestyle in individuals with arterial hypertension.Background: Diagnostic validation is performed to expand nursing taxonomies and to revise or confirm the described concepts. New elements listed in the literature and those identified by the NANDA International definition for sedentary lifestyle need to be evaluated.Design: This is a cross-sectional and diagnostic validation study. The STROBE guidelines were used in this study. Methods: Two hundred and fifty subjects aged over 18 years were evaluated. The diagnostic status of the participants was obtained by latent class analysis. Logistic regression was used to identify aetiological factors with the manifestation of sedentary lifestyle, considering a significance level of 5%.Results: A total of 57.8% of the study participants met the diagnostic criteria for sedentary lifestyle. The clinical indicators with high sensitivity were as follows: "Average daily physical activity is less than recommended for gender and age"; "Does not perform physical activity during leisure time"; "Preference for activity low in physical activity" and "Overweight." The significantly related factors associated with the diagnosis of sedentary lifestyle were as follows: "Insufficient knowledge on physical activity," "Lack of time," "Negative self-perception of health," "Lack of security," "Lack of appropriate place," "Lack of motivation," "Activity intolerance," "Lack of sports ability," "Having a partner," "Using public transportation," "Perception of physical disability," "Pain," "Having a job/studying," "Laziness," "Impaired mobility," "Living in an urban area," "Education in a public institution," "Female gender," "Lack of confidence to practice physical exercise," "Education level," "Age" and "Lack of social support for the practice of physical exercise." Conclusion: Four out of eight clinical indicators had a good adjustment by the latent class analysis. Of the 27 aetiological factors, 22 were significantly associated with sedentary lifestyle. Relevance to practice: The correct identification of sedentary lifestyle and its elements supports care planning, especially for health promotion and disease prevention.| 3331 MARTINS eT Al.

Objective. To identify the 2022 recommendations made by ministries of health in the 13 countries and areas of South America for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and cervical cancer screening. Methods. A systematic review of scientific literature and official documents was conducted between July 7 and October 17, 2022. The review included an initial search on official websites (e.g. ministries of health, national cancer institutes and health departments) of South American countries to identify current guidelines or recommendations for HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening. Results. Recommendations for HPV vaccination were found for 11 countries, with the exceptions of French Guiana and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Recommendations were found for cervical cancer screening in official documents from 11 countries, with the exceptions of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, where one article was found that was not an official recommendation, and Suriname, for which no documents were found on websites or in other publications. A total of 12 countries use cytology to screen for cervical cancer. Four countries (Bolivia [Plurinational State of], Colombia, Guyana and Peru) use visual inspection with acetic acid and the screen-and-treat strategy. Six countries (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Peru) are transitioning from cytology to HPV testing. Conclusions. No documents were found about a national HPV vaccination program in French Guiana and Venezuela, and no official guidelines for cervical cancer screening were found for Suriname and Venezuela; thus, it will be difficult to eliminate this public health problem in these countries. Countries in South America must update their guidelines for HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening as new evidence emerges. Official websites with information about HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening are important sources that can be accessed by health professionals and the population.

ELABORATION OF A PLAYFUL METHOD FOR CHEMISTRY TEACHING: A GAME BASED ON DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELLS. Considering the current environmental problems associated with the growing world demand for energy arising from development and population growth, the need to diversify energy matrices, such as the implementation of solar energy, is highlighted. Thus, it is important to discuss this topic in the school environment, because when they are introduced from childhood to high school, the probability of this orientation being effective is much greater. In this context, educational games have attracted attention as a teaching tool, combining a fun atmosphere with the improvement of learning. This work aimed the production and application of a game in board format representing a dye-sensitized solar cell (CSSC) as a didactic resource in approaching the content of energy conversion. The game allowed an easy visualization of how the energy conversion process is performed by a CSSC. It was presented during the scientific dissemination event “Café com Ciência”, promoted by the Federal University of São João del-Rei, with good results both in gameplay aspects and in helping to understand the theme. The feedback obtained indicates that the game can be a useful tool for students and educators, reaching all its didactic potential and facilitating learning in the face of complex concepts.
