Resilience of School Adolescents in a Socially Vulnerable Situation in the Light of Tidal Model.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Adolescents in contexts of social vulnerability experience obstacles in the development of their resilience, which compromises the development of coping/response strategies to daily adversities. This study aimed to understand the resilience process of school adolescents in situations of social vulnerability in the light of Barker's and Buchanan-Barker's Tidal Model. METHODS: This qualitative and exploratory study was carried out at a public school in the city of Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil. The sample was composed of 17 adolescents. Data collection was carried out through in-depth narrative interviews. The material was analyzed with the aid of the software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires, interpreted through the assumptions of Tidal Model. RESULTS: The dendrogram demonstrated the corpus delimited in five classes named as "Navigation Plan," "Storms," "Ocean of Experiences," "Rescue," and "Safe Harbor." CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Through learning from narratives, nurses understand the important resources of a recovery journey and take care "with" adolescents, supporting the development of resilience to face storms by taking the helm of the vessel and resuming their travel.

Validation of the content of the prevention protocol for early sepsis caused by Streptococcus agalactiaein newborns.

OBJECTIVE: to validate the content of the prevention protocol for early sepsis caused by Streptococcus agalactiaein newborns. METHOD: a transversal, descriptive and methodological study, with a quantitative approach. The sample was composed of 15 judges, 8 obstetricians and 7 pediatricians. The validation occurred through the assessment of the content of the protocol by the judges that received the instrument for data collection - checklist - which contained 7 items that represent the requisites to be met by the protocol. The validation of the content was achieved by applying the Content Validity Index. RESULT: in the judging process, all the items that represented requirements considered by the protocol obtained concordance within the established level (Content Validity Index > 0.75). Of 7 items, 6 have obtained full concordance (Content Validity Index 1.0) and the feasibility item obtained a Content Validity Index of 0.93. The global assessment of the instruments obtained a Content Validity Index of 0.99. CONCLUSION: the validation of content that was done was an efficient tool for the adjustment of the protocol, according to the judgment of experienced professionals, which demonstrates the importance of conducting a previous validation of the instruments. It is expected that this study will serve as an incentive for the adoption of universal tracking by other institutions through validated protocols.
