Aims to discuss factors associated with the use of folic acid during gestation. A descriptive-reflective study with a theoretical basis elaborated from updated scientific articles. Despite the benefits of folic acid and, even if it is a worldwide recommendation, the prevalence of this supplement consumption is still unsatisfactory. Some studies have shown that women with unplanned pregnancies, lower schooling and socioeconomic status, without partners and with insufficient prenatal care are less likely to consume this supplement during gestation. Folic acid supplementation is an essential intervention, acting in the primary prevention of neural tube defects. Thus, public policies that further encourage maternal supplementation with folic acid are of great value, since they reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality. It is also necessary to plan actions that aim to minimize the action of the factors associated with the use of folic acid during gestation.

The Law of Education Guidelines and Bases (LDB) incorporated into the statutes and bylaws of higher education institutions the principle of inseparability between teaching, research and extension, legislated by the 1988 Constitution. Considered one of the pillars of higher education, extension plays a relevant role in the training of professionals. However, there is little work quantifying the impact of extension activities on the development process in training. To quantify and identify the impact of extension actions on the vocational training of undergraduate health courses. Method: exploratory, retrospective and quantitative field research. Students from the last semester of several health courses that performed extension activities answered questionnaires regarding achievement as well as academic performance (including domains of skill, knowledge, attitudes, values and ethical aspects). In addition, the contributions of extension in the training process as a person and professional were also evaluated. The group was mainly composed of young people, who had a job, and women. It was verified that most of the students reported improvement in academic achievement. It was found that in all domains, the average scores given by the group that reported improvement were significantly higher than the group that reported improvement in academic performance. Extension students mentioned that the actions contributed to the development of the relationship with the team and the public; as well as training to identify individual and collective needs; and awareness and reflection on the individual role in social transformation. It was found that the extension program positively impacted the academic achievement of extension students, as evidenced by the affirmation of the improvement in academic performance, the high average grades awarded by students in the quantitative questioning of the various domains and the description of students' positive perception of the effective contributions in their process and formative journey as a person and professional.

Educational games are very useful tools to help teaching in schools, especially for more complex content in which students have difficult to fix what they’ve learned. The health theme addressed in high school fits into the group of subjects difficult to fix by students, given the high number of names and characteristics to be learned, the use of the game "San San da Saúde" suggested as a different way of addressing the topic by making it more fun and friendly for students. It was observed that the students evaluated the results of the game, as a didactic instrument, in a very positive way, giving evidence that the learning was facilitated with its use, mainly due to how this instrument was used.

The objective of the study was to know the therapeutic itinerary of mothers of children with microcephaly, resulting from the Zika virus infection, born from October 2015 to October 2016, living in a Metropolitan Region of Baixada Santista’s municipality. This is a retrospective qualitative study that used interviews with two mothers who had Zika virus confirmed during pregnancy and whose children were born with microcephaly, during the epidemic period. The results showed that mothers are the main caregivers; support networks are built from the close family and other mothers of children with microcephaly; religion is accessed when biomedical knowledge does not present concrete answers.The objective of the study was to know the therapeutic itinerary of mothers of children with microcephaly, resulting from the Zika virus infection, born from October 2015 to October 2016, living in a Metropolitan Region of Baixada Santista’s municipality.

This is a review of the literature, using different databases and descriptors, "HPV", "teenagers", "young" and "nursing", in order to know the main causes of vulnerability to HPV infection in young people and adolescents as well as the nursing actions that favor the prevention of contamination by this virus. It was possible to show that the young population has riskier sexual behaviors, leaving them vulnerable to HPV infection, and this suggests that the nurse needs to be able to provide comprehensive and continuous care to the young people and adolescents, identifying risk situations, developing educational and preventive actions together with the family and community, aiming at improving the sexual and reproductive health of this age group.
