Functionalization of gutta-percha surfaces with argon and oxygen plasma treatme...
Ferreira, Inês; Lopes, Cláudia; Rodrigues, Marco S.; Rodrigues, Pedro António Veiga; Castro, Cidália; Braga, Ana Cristina; Lopes, Maria; Vaz, FilipeGutta-percha's lack of adhesion has been presented as a drawback to avoid gaps at sealer/gutta-percha interface. Plasma treatments have been scarcely assessed on gutta-percha surfaces as a method of enhancing adhesiveness. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of low-pressure Argon and Oxygen plasma atmospheres on conventional and bioceramic gutta-percha standardized smooth discs, assessing their roughness, s...
Nanostructured electrospun fibers with self-assembled cyclo-L-Tryptophan-L-Tyro...
Santos, Daniela; Baptista, Rosa M. F.; Handa, Adelino; Almeida, B. G.; Rodrigues, Pedro V.; Castro, Cidália; Machado, A. V.; Rodrigues, Manuel J. L. F.The potential use of nanostructured dipeptide self-assemblies in materials science for energy harvesting devices is a highly sought-after area of research. Specifically, aromatic cyclo-dipeptides containing tryptophan have garnered attention due to their wide-bandgap semiconductor properties, high mechanical rigidity, photoluminescence, and nonlinear optical behavior. In this study, we present the development of...
Addressing ageism : be active in aging: study protocol
Fernandes, Júlio Belo; Ramos, Catarina; Domingos, Josefa; Castro, Cidália; Simões, Aida; Bernardes, Catarina; Fonseca, Jorge; Proença, LuísAgeism refers to stereotyping (how we think), prejudice (how we feel), and discrimination (how we act) against people based on their age. It is a serious public health issue that can negatively impact older people’s health and quality of life. The present protocol has several goals: (1) adapt the Ambivalent Ageism Scale for the general Portuguese population and healthcare professionals; (2) assess the factorial...
High Piezoelectric Output Voltage from Blue Fluorescent N,N-Dimethyl-4-nitroani...
Baptista, Rosa Maria Ferreira; Silva, Bruna; Oliveira, João; Bayzi Isfahani, Vahideh; Almeida, Bernardo; Pereira, Mário R.; Cerca, Nuno; Castro, CidáliaN,N-dimethyl-4-nitroaniline is a piezoelectric organic superplastic and superelastic charge transfer molecular crystal that crystallizes in an acentric structure. Organic mechanical flexible crystals are of great importance as they stand between soft matter and inorganic crystals. Highly aligned poly-l-lactic acid polymer microfibers with embedded N,N-dimethyl-4-nitroaniline nanocrystals are fabricated using th...
Stigma towards people with mental illness among Portuguese nursing students
Fernandes, Júlio Belo; Família, Carlos; Castro, Cidália; Simões, AidaStigma is a substantial obstacle when caring for people with mental illness. Nursing students’ negative attitudes towards people with mental illness may impact the quality of care delivered and consequentially patient outcomes. In this study, we assessed the stigmatising attitudes and beliefs of nursing students towards people with mental illness and examined its relationship with several psycho-socio-demograph...
Perceptions and representations of senior nursing students about the transition...
Castro, Cidália; Antunes, Ricardo; Fernandes, Júlio Belo; Reisinho, João; Rodrigues, Rita; Sardinha, João; Vaz, Célia; Miranda, Luís; Simões, AidaThe COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions in education systems worldwide. The suspension of face-to-face lectures and clinical placements directly impacted nursing students’ learning. This study aimed to identify the perceptions and representations of senior nursing students about the transition to professional life during the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study used a web-b...

Fernandes, Júlio Belo; Vareta, Diana Alves; Fernandes, Sónia; Castro, Cidália; Simões, Aida; Peças, Dina; Almeida, AnaBackground: During the global pandemic, the increasing number of hospitalised patients affected by COVID-19 led to a shortage of nurses. This situation can cause nurses to focus their care on managing the acute aspects of the disease, neglecting interventions that can humanise their practices and improve quality of care. This review aims to identify nurses' interventions that can humanise care for patients affe...

Firmino, Catarina; Rodrigues, Marlene; Franco, Sofia; Ferreira, Judicília; Simões, Ana Rita; Castro, Cidália; Fernandes, Júlio BeloSleep is a crucial factor for the psychological and physiological well-being of any human being. In Neonatal Intensive Care Units, preterm newborns’ sleep may be at risk due to medical and nursing care, environmental stimuli and manipulation. This review aims to identify the nurses’ interventions that promote sleep in preterm newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units. An integrative review was conducted fol...
