Objetiva-se conhecer o que os adolescentes sabem sobre as práticas sexuais seguras e seus benefícios. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo com abordagem quantitativa, a ser desenvolvida a partir de um questionário com perguntas abertas, realizado na Escola Estadual de Ensino Médio Mário Brasil, localizada na cidade de Garrafão do Norte, estado do Pará, na qual atendeu 1033 alunos regularmente matriculados no ano de 2018. A pesquisa foi realizada com adolescentes de ambos os sexos com idade de 15 aos 19 anos, nos meses de agosto e setembro de 2019. Foram analisados 337 questionários, sendo este divido em dois eixos, o primeiro com informações pessoais e o segundo com a avaliação sobre o conhecimento dos adolescentes sobre contracepção. Com o estudo em questão espera-se que tenha mais visibilidade sobre o desconhecimento dos adolescentes sobre os métodos contraceptivos, para assim, realizar educação em saúde para esse público, uma vez que, a vida sexual se inicia cada vez mais precocemente.
Objective: to analyze nurses' knowledge and practices regarding the care provided to patients in cardiopulmonary arrest in the emergency room of a medium and high complexity public hospital in Belém, State of Pará, Brazil. Method: this descriptive, exploratory, qualitative study included ten nurses, who work in the urgency and emergency service. Data collection took place from February to March 2019 through semi-structured interviews. Thematic content analysis proposed by Bardin was used to construct the data. Results: the studied population has deficient and sometimes insufficient knowledge, mostly marked by mistaken speeches and uncertainties, revealing gaps in knowledge and divergences in relation to the resuscitation science consensus necessary to perform adequate care during a cardiorespiratory arrest, and may compromise the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, causing damage to resuscitation and, consequently, contribute to the emergence and / or aggravation of sequelae, which can impact on increased morbidity and mortality. Conclusion: knowledge deficiency is multifactorial, which may be related to the lack of continuous and permanent education, and the lack of personal motivation for the constant search for knowledge, in addition to the lack of incentive to update proposed by the head of the service in the studied scenario.
