AbstrActThis article presents the evolution and the contribution of the scientific production related to the concept of vulnerability and its potential to help studying transmissible diseases. It presents the concept of vulnerability and the production of knowledge in nursing, developed particularly by the CNPq Research Group Vulnerability, Adherence, and Health Needs. The purpose is to improve the understanding of health issues, based on this concept, and permit the proposition of coping interventions that surpass the individual domain, thus contemplating the organization of health care work and the social determination of the health-disease process.

Vulnerability Communicable diseases Public health Public health nursing resumenEl artículo se refiere a la evolución y a la contribución de la producción científica relacionada al concepto de vulnerabilidad y su potencialidad en estudios de las enfermedades contagiosas. Se presenta el concepto de Vulnerabilidad y la producción de conocimiento en Enfermería, particularmente, desarrollada en el Grupo de Investigación Vulnerabilidad, Adhesión y Necesidades en Salud, del CNPq. Tiene como finalidad ampliar la comprensión de perjuicios de salud con base en este concepto, además de posibilitar la propuesta de intervenciones para su enfrentamiento que extrapolen el ámbito del individuo, pero que contemple la organización del trabajo en los servicios de salud y la determinación social del proceso salud-enfermedad.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to spread internationally with 5,593,631 cases reported globally including 353,334 deaths [1]. Its rapid emergence and dissemination have highlighted multiple areas in which competencies in antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) (the safe and effective use of antimicrobials), specifically by nurses,
Introduction
The 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been an unprecedented global health challenge. Traditional modes of knowledge dissemination have not been feasible. A rapid solution was needed to share guidance and implementation examples among the global Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) community. We designed the IPC Global Webinar Series to bring together subject matter experts and IPC professionals in the fight against COVID-19.
Methods
The Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model was adapted to create an interactive global knowledge network. Speakers and panelists provided presentations and answers to questions from participants. The webinars were simultaneously interpreted to five languages and recorded for later access.
Results
Thirteen webinar sessions were completed from May 14 through August 6, 2020. On average, 634 participants attended each session (range: 393 – 1,181). Each session was represented by participants from an average of over 100 countries; sessions 1-3 had participation from approximate 120 countries, and sessions 6 and 12 had participation from approximately 80 countries.
Discussion
The IPC Global Webinar Series shared critical information and promoted peer-to-peer learning during the COVID-19 pandemic response. The webinar sessions reached a broader audience than many in-person events. The webinar series was rapidly scaled and can be rapidly re-activated as needed. Our lessons learned in designing and implementing the series can inform design of other global health virtual knowledge networks. The continued and expanded use of adapted virtual communities of practice and other learning networks for the IPC community can serve as a valuable tool for addressing COVID-19 and other infectious disease threats.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
