RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: to unveil the meanings that nurses attribute Information and Communication Technologies for the nursing work process. METHODS: qualitative research, theoretically and methodologically based on the Complexity Theory and on the Grounded Theory, respectively. Research with 19 participants, being 12 clinical nurses, and 7 resident nurses. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. RESULTS: the results revealed the meanings that clinical nurses attribute to Information and Communication Technologies and, thus, the motivations and limitations for the use of these technologies, pointing out possibilities and strategies that impact the nursing work process, based on the interactions promoted by the official and non-official use of these resources. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the meanings that nurses attribute to Information and Communication Technologies are dependent on their ability to successfully employ those technologies and their importance to the work process developed by the professionals.

COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (VH) has caused concerns due to the possible fluctuations that may occur directly impacting the control of the pandemic. In this study, we aimed to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with COVID-19 VH in Portuguese-speaking countries. We developed a web survey (N:6,843) using an online, structured, and validated questionnaire. We used Measurement Models, Exploratory Factor Analysis, Exploratory Structural Equation Models, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis for the data analysis. The overall prevalence of COVID-19 VH in Portuguese-speaking countries was 21.1%. showed a statistically significant direct effect for VH: vaccine-related conspiracy beliefs (VB) (ß = 0.886), perceived stress (PS) (ß = 0.313), COVID-19 Misinformation (MIS) (ß = 0.259) and individual responses to COVID-19 (CIR) (ß = -0.122). The effect of MIS and CIR for VH was greater among men and of PS and VB among women; the effect of PS was greater among the youngest and of VB and CIR among the oldest. No discrepant differences were identified in the analyzed education strata. In conclusion, we found that conspiracy beliefs related to the vaccine strongly influence the decision to hesitate (not to take or to delay the vaccine). Specific characteristics related to gender, age group, social and cognitive vulnerabilities, added to the knowledge acquired, poorly substantiated and/or misrepresented about the COVID-19 vaccine, need to be considered in the planning of vaccination campaigns. It is necessary to respond in a timely, fast, and accurate manner to the challenges posed by vaccine hesitancy.

RESUMEN Objetivos: desvelar los significados que enfermeros atribuyen a Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación para el proceso de trabajo de enfermería. Métodos: investigación cualitativa, cuyos referenciales teórico y metodológico fueron la Teoría de la Complejidad y la Teoría Fundamentada en los Datos, respectivamente. Investigación con 19 participantes, siendo 12 enfermeros asistenciales y 7 enfermeros residentes. Para la recogida de datos, se utilizó la entrevista semiestructurada. Resultados: los resultados revelaron los significados que enfermeros asistenciales atribuyen a Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación y, de esa manera, las motivaciones y limitaciones para la utilización de esas tecnologías, enumerando posibilidades y estrategias que influencian el proceso de trabajo de enfermería basado en las interacciones fomentadas por la utilización formal e informal de esos recursos. Consideraciones Finales: los significados atribuidos por enfermeros a Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación están relacionados a capacidad de adherencia e importancia de esas tecnologías al proceso de trabajo que desarrollan.
RESUMO Objetivos: desvelar os significados que enfermeiros atribuem às Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação para o processo de trabalho da enfermagem. Métodos: pesquisa qualitativa, cujos referenciais teórico e metodológico foram a Teoria da Complexidade e a Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados, respectivamente. Pesquisa com 19 participantes, sendo 12 enfermeiros assistenciais e 7 enfermeiros residentes. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se a entrevista semiestruturada. Resultados: os resultados revelaram os significados que enfermeiros assistenciais atribuem às Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação e, desse modo, as motivações e limitações para a utilização dessas tecnologias, elencando possibilidades e estratégias que influenciam o processo de trabalho da enfermagem com base nas interações fomentadas pela utilização formal e informal desses recursos. Considerações Finais: os significados atribuídos por enfermeiros às Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação estão relacionados à capacidade de aderência e importância dessas tecnologias ao processo de trabalho que desenvolvem.
