    Publication . Martins, Joana; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta; Caridade, Sónia; Sousa, Hélder; De Moura, Andreia
    Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been identified as a risk factor for the development of mental health and behavioural outcomes throughout life, including delinquent behaviours. This article focuses on the relationship between ACEs and delinquent behaviour (DB), seeking to identify predictors and mediating variables. Methods: The quantitative study comprised 175 Portuguese adolescents, aged 12 and 17 years of age (M = 14.99, SD = 2.26). Results: ACEs and exposure to traumatic events (ETE) are predictive of DB. Antisocial traits (AT) was found to be mediating the relationship between ACEs and DB, as well as the relation between ETE and DB. Conclusion: The results indicate that it is necessary that professionals in health behaviour field prevent and intervene in ACEs and in ETE, both predictors of DB. The results of this study allow to understand the role of ACEs in DB and its mediating variables, which must be considered to mitigate the harmful impact of ACEs in DB.

    Publication . Viterbo, Lilian Monteiro Ferrari; Bonfim Silva, Ingrid; Leite, Jamile Santos Ferreira; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; De Moura, Andreia; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta
    OBJECTIVE: to describe the prevalence of nursing diagnostics and to analyse differences between the groups according to the indicator created from the diagnoses and intervention of the CIPE® relating to job satisfaction. METHOD: 869 workers attending the occupational health assessments of an oil industry with nurse practitioners, using a data collection form to support clinical reasoning in the definition of diagnostics and intervention, with CIPE®. Data collected were grouped into five indicators: food aspects, interpersonal relationships, physical health, health behaviours and working conditions. RESULTS: 13 types of diagnoses and 18 interventions were mapped, being the most prevalent "job satisfaction" (85.0 %) and "promoting healthy relationship and communication techniques" (76.3 %), respectively. The student's t-test was used to compare scores of the five indicators between the groups. The "satisfied at work" revealed better interpersonal relationships (p < 0.001). The group intervened with the initiative "to promote healthy relationships and communication techniques and to encourage healthy relationships" demonstrates better interpersonal relationships (p < 0.01) and better physical health (p < 0.05). The best working conditions (p < 0.01) were identified in the group subject to "other interventions". CONCLUSION: structured performance of the nurse practitioner in the worker healthcare enables the development of strategies aimed at implementing improvements within organizational aspects of the nursing work.
