- Adolescents and harmful consumptions: what do they know? A scoping reviewPublication . Correia, C.; Fernandes, F.; Correia, M.; Dias, H.; Amendoeira, J.; Silva, M.Introduction Adolescence is highly marked by the experiencing of numerous conducts of experimentation, being the most common the use of legal or illegal substances that most of the times translates to an unweight decision-making, mostly due to peer pressure or for recreative purposes. Objectives To understand the dynamic between adolescents’ harmful consumptions and their sexuality experience. Methods It was developed a scoping review from the following review question: ‘‘do adolescents’ harmful consumptions influence their experience of sexuality?’’ using Joanna Briggs Institute’s Protocol. Alcohol drinking, health literacy, tobacco use, selfinjurious behaviour and sexuality were defined as mesh descriptors, which lead to the following search expression (health literacy OR alcohol drinking AND tobacco use OR selfinjurious behaviour AND sexuality). There were used two data bases, PubMed and ProQuest, and established a few research limiters, such as free full text, a time period since 21/03/2014 up until 21/03/2019 and adolescent (13 to 18) in both data bases. Results Most adolescents consume alcohol, tobacco and drugs in schools by the age of 14/15. The first contact with these substances occurs through their friends. This can be translated not only by the lack of information of adolescents, but also by not knowing where to find it, which suggests a lack of health literacy in this subject and possible influence in decision making, especially in the experience of sexuality. Conclusions The early experience of harmful consumption in adolescence causes problems that can affect health in general and in particular, the expression of sexuality through the adoption of unsafe behaviours. Nurses need to be attentive to the needs of young people to intervene according to their needs, increasing their health literacy.

- Instruments to evaluate alcohol consumption in the pregnant women: a scoping reviewPublication . Cândido, A.; André, C.; Carreira, T.; Dias, H.; Santiago, C.; Cruz, O.; Amendoeira, J.Introduction The consumption of alcohol by the pregnant woman is particularly relevant as it is associated with serious consequences for the fetus. However, studies on alcohol consumption during pregnancy and its consequences; using instruments that allow the characterization of the consumption are rare in Portugal. Question Which instruments allow the characterization of alcohol consumption in pregnant women? Objectives To identify instruments for the characterization of alcohol consumption in pregnant women. Methods Population: pregnant women; Concepts: pregnancy, alcohol consumption and assessment instruments; Context: nursing interventions provided to pregnant women. Type of studies: quantitative, qualitative and mixed. Search term: conjugates the descriptors MeSH: Pregnant Women OR Pregnancy AND Alcohol Drinking AND Weight and Measures. Search for articles published in the ProQuest and PubMed databases and on the EBSCOhost platform: CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE Complete and Mediclatina, with the limiters: full text, published from 1/1/2014 to 5/31/2018, human and age group-Adults (19-44 years). Data was extracted using the Joanna Briggs Institute Instrument. Results To evaluate the methodological quality, PRISMA flowchart 2009 was used. Four studies were included, three with quantitative design and one qualitative design. The instruments identified that allow the characterization of alcohol consumption in pregnant women are Green Page; T-ACE; CAGE; TWEAK; in addition to questions adapted from other questionnaires. Two studies identify predictors of alcohol consumption in pregnant women. Conclusions The scoping review allowed us to reach the objectives outlined; identifying studies whose instruments used were reliable for the characterization of alcohol consumption in pregnant women, as well as the identification of predictors associated with alcohol consumption.
- Sexuality experiences in youth of the 3rd cycle: a scoping reviewPublication . Neves, C.; Figueiredo, R.; David, R.; Dias, H.; Amendoeira, J.; Silva, M.Introduction: Adolescence is characterized by a period of change towards autonomy. The need of assessment of sexuality is essential to promote healthy sexual health. The intervention of the nurse is to evaluate the needs and behaviours of adolescents, related to sexuality, with the aim of promoting healthy sexual health. Objective: Intends to map the adolescents’ needs, related to sexuality and sexual health. Methods: Scoping review based on the methodology of Joanna Briggs Institute. A review question was created, which guided the work and helped to establish the inclusion criteria: population (adolescents of the 3rd cycle [aged between 13 and 15 years]), concepts (sexuality, adolescent, needs assessment and sexual health), and context (adolescence). PubMed and ProQuest were used as databases, with a chronological drawing of 5 years (January 2014-2019), among other limiters. The search expression was ‘‘Sexuality AND Adolescent OR Needs Assessment AND Sexual Health. Two qualitative studies were selected for analysis. The evaluation of the methodological quality was done through PRISMA flowchart 2009. Results: The first article sought to build a contextual development framework that could be used to identify, understand and respond to adolescents’ sexual behaviours. The second article investigated the adolescents’ needs and hopes about sex education. The adolescents identify as their sexuality needs that the approaches in the sexual education sessions are not only focused on the biological aspect, but also on the emotional and affective dimensions, leaving aside more conservative and risky views. It showed that they prefer when teachers speak this topic at home by family members or, in school environment. Conclusion: The articles were conducted regarding adolescents’ development, health and sexual safety, and their needs about sex education, as well as exploring the role of health and education sectors.
- The influence of alcohol in the practice of safe sex in adolescencePublication . Abreu, A.; Matos, B.; Silva, C.; Silva, M. C.; Dias, H.; Amendoeira, J.; Silva, M.Introduction Currently, the consumption of alcohol in adolescent population is associated with the practice of risk behaviour. It was considered suitable to carry out a scoping review, considering as starting question: "the consumption of alcohol affects decision-making, in adolescence, in the experience of safe sex?". Objective To identify the influence of alcohol in the decision-making on a practice of safe sex in adolescents. Methods Scoping review using the Protocol of Joanna Briggs Institute. The Mesh descriptors defined led to the following search expression: ‘‘alcohol drinking AND decision-making AND adolescent OR safe sex’’. There was consulted two scientific databases ProQuest and PubMed, considering the following criteria for inclusion: articles in academic and specialized magazines, with date of publication for a period of 5 years. In order to perform the step in the "Study Selection" it was used the PRISM 2009 flowchart to ease the methodological quality assessment of articles to be included in the meta-analysis. Results Six studies were included. Evidence shows that excessive alcohol consumption makes people more uninhibited and exhibits behaviours that are socially inadequate and lack selfcontrol. Therefore, alcohol affects the decision making of the adolescent, becoming more susceptible to the practice of unsafe sex. However, the practice of safe sex is also influenced by the lack of knowledge of both parents and adolescents. Conclusion The role of the nurse is to alert parents so that they get closer to their children and respond to their needs. It consists also in trying to approach to the reality of young people, identifying the problem and develop prevention and treatment programs for alcohol use, in order to prevent early and continuous behaviours congruent with a healthy life.
- The influence of peers on the experience of sexuality in adolescence: a scoping reviewPublication . Dias, H.; Amendoeira, J.; Silva, M.; Cruz, O.Introduction In adolescence, the interaction of young people with their peers has been identified as an influencing factor in responsibility, maturity and healthy development, and in particular experience of sexuality, which can lead to risky behaviours. We try to answer the following question: How does peer influence reflect in the experience of sexuality in adolescence? Objetives To identify peer influence in the experience of sexuality in adolescence. Methods Conducted a scoping review in ProQuest and PubMed using the search expression ‘‘Peer Influence And Adolescent And Sexuality Or Sexual Behaviour’’. Inclusion criteria: Population (the adolescents), concept (Peer influence and Sexuality) and context (adolescence). Types of studies: qualitative and quantitative. Used a 5-year chronological frieze (January 2014-2019). For the evaluation of the methodological quality, the PRISMA flowchart 2009 was used. There were six articles for analysis. Results There is great vulnerability in adolescents; they are in a phase of social, emotional and cognitive development. They make inappropriate decisions that increase sexual risky behaviour. Their behaviours are to satisfy their sexual partners, sacrificing their wants in order to keep their partners interested. The most popular young people have a significant influence on the behaviour of the outer adolescents. Adolescents refer that the discipline of Sexual Education in schools is beneficial. Conclusion Adolescents are influenced by their peers in decision making to romantic/sexual relationships. Peers are the main source of information about sexual health, which means they are possibly getting ‘‘not trustworthy’’ information. It is important to perceive their necessities so that the interventions made in the sexual education programs are adequate, so that adolescents become more resistant to peer pressure. Thus, the nurse is central to the changes in the adolescents’ lifestyle through empowerment strategies that promote health.

- Use of smoking cessation programs in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle: a scoping reviewPublication . Santiago, C.; Dias, H.; Cruz, O.; André, C.; Cândido, A.; Carreira, T.; Amendoeira, J.Introduction Smoking during pregnancy can cause serious health problems to the mother and child. Smoking cessation prior to conception or early pregnancy, as well as maintaining abstinence during this period contributes positively to maternal and fetal well-being, therefore intervention programs for smoking cessation are particularly importance. Question What are the intervention programs for smoking cessation in women in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle? Objectives To identify intervention programs for smoking cessation in women in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle Methods Population: women in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle. Concepts: pregnancy, puerperium, smoking cessation and intervention programs. Context: community where women in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle live. Types of study: quantitative, qualitative and mixed. Search term: Conjugate the descriptors MeSH: Smoking Cessation AND Pregnant Women OR Postpartum period. We searched articles published in the ProQuest databases and the EBSCOhost platform: CINAHL Complete, Mediclatina, Nursing & Allied Health Collection and MEDLINE Complete, with the limiters: full text, published from 1/1/2014 to 31/5 / 2018, human and age group-Adults (19-44 years) Results In the evaluation of the methodological quality we used the PRISMA flowchart 2009, extracting the data using the instrument proposed by the JBI. Two studies were included. The scoping review did not allow the identification of studies with effective implementation of smoking cessation programs. However, they contribute to identify influencing factors and strategies for the implementation of smoking cessation programs. Conclusions Scoping review identified a set of strategies to support smoking cessation. Barriers to program implementation were identified at three levels: institutional (difficulties in communication and devaluation of this type of intervention) and professionals and pregnant smokers (knowledge, attitudes and beliefs).
