The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions in education systems worldwide. The suspension of face-to-face lectures and clinical placements directly impacted nursing students’ learning. This study aimed to identify the perceptions and representations of senior nursing students about the transition to professional life during the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study used a web-based survey from a convenience sample of 162 senior nursing students, from nine different nursing schools. Data collection was carried out in the second quarter of 2020. Male students have more negative representations related to training (p = 0.048); working students have a better perspective of professional integration (p = 0.038); students who are in a relationship have a more positive perception of interaction with patients (p = 0.047); those who have already defined a service of choice have less insecurity and less fear of making mistakes (p = 0.043). Those who report anxiety about their first place of work have more negative representations about the future in other professional dimensions. The COVID-19 pandemic represents a frequent concern among students. However, it is a dimension that does not negatively contaminate other representations about the professional future. Overall, students showed concerns regarding their performance in providing direct care to the patient and lived up to their fellow nurses’ expectations.
Objetivo: Analisar na literatura científica disponível, informação sobre as intervenções promovidas pelos enfermeiros, com vista ao sucesso no aleitamento materno. Métodos: Revisão da literatura com pesquisa nas bases de dados eletrónicas CINAHL Plus with full text e Medline with full text, na plataforma EBSCOhost, com as palavras-chave: nurs*, education e breastfeeding. A amostra final incluiu 9 artigos. Resultados: Os artigos selecionados demonstraram a necessidade de formação dos enfermeiros que prestam cuidados a mães que amamentam, sendo a sua formação crucial para os outcomes no aleitamento materno; os programas de formação para enfermeiros parecem ser eficazes nas taxas de melhoria de efetividade do aleitamento materno; o apoio que parteiras e conselheiras em aleitamento materno é mais eficaz quando comparado ao apoio prestado por outros profissionais; para o sucesso desta prática é necessário investir no apoio emocional às mães, prestar suporte concreto na amamentação e dar continuidade ao processo através da visitação domiciliária. Conclusões: Os achados demonstram ter elevada aplicabilidade na prática de cuidados de enfermagem com qualidade a mães que amamentam. Descritores (DeCS): Enfermeiros; aleitamento materno; educação.
