Objetivo: Identificar os conhecimentos da equipe de enfermagem sobre a medida não invasiva da Pressão Arterial. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo com enfermeiros e técnicos das clínicas médica e cirúrgica de um hospital universitário, utilizando instrumento validado com 12 questões. Os resultados foram apresentados mediante estatística descritiva (média, desvio padrão, mediana, frequência relativa) e inferencial (Teste-T e Análise de Correspondência). Resultados: A média total de acertos foi 5,6 ±1,8 (p? 0,684). O conhecimento foi satisfatório (?60%) somente nas questões relacionadas a: Preparo do Cliente para a medida da Pressão Arterial Erros de leitura do profissional e Erros de leitura relacionados ao aparelho. Na Análise de Correspondência, foi mais significativo errar independente da categoria profissional. Conclusão: A equipe de enfermagem possui déficits no conhecimento sobre a medida não invasiva da Pressão Arterial, sendo necessários a capacitação e treinamento sistemático sobre o tema.

Characterize the relationship between the caregiver and the elderly person and the role of the pastoral agent in caring for the elderly and the family relationship. Descriptive-exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, applied through an interview script to 26 Community Pastoral Agents, 18 agents from the Pastoral da Pessoa Idosa (PPI) and 08 from the Pastoral da Saúde (PS). The results were worked on from the perspective of content analysis in two stages: Organization of information arranged in a database in Excel Spreadsheet and Classification of data by Categorical Content Analysis. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of ''Universidade Estadual do Amazonas'' under CAAE number: 13352019.1.0000.5016.

Objective: to identify the main public health challenges facing the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing the main difficulties in this chaotic period for Brazilian health. Materials and Methods: This is an Integrative Review (IR) of a descriptive and exploratory nature. With the purpose of developing the guiding question, the domains of the PECo strategy were applied. A bibliographic survey was carried out in February 2023 in the databases: LILACS and MEDLINE via BVS, ColecionaSUS and Science Direct. DeCS and MeSH were selected as descriptors, in which both were linked by the Boolean AND operator. Thus, 10 scientific articles were selected to compose the final sample. Results and Discussion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, public safety authorities faced a number of challenges, including: misinformation, social inequality and economic impact. Final Considerations: It is believed that strengthening democracy and defending the SUS is one of the (perhaps only) ways to face the health crisis that the population is experiencing face to face.
