Situations of vulnerability of the environment in which a child and their family are inserted may be translated into life and development conditions. The objective of this study is to know how families perceive the situations of vulnerability and their components, related to the ecological environment, experienced by children who face chronic diseases and are hospitalized in a School Hospital in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This is a quantitative research from the perspective of a descriptive exploratory study. Data was collected from nine participants. Dynamic activities of creativity and sensibility were used and analyzed according to the Content Analysis referential. Three categories of analysis emerged; the familiar microsystem is here explored as a construct of the individual component of vulnerability. The search for an intersection demonstrates that an individual component of vulnerability reflects on the microsystem constitution, reinforcing the importance of envisioning the individual as a construct and a constructor of the environment in which their existence takes place.

This article views the life of HIV/AIDS children in shelters under the perspective of the Humanistic Nursing Theory. This is a qualitative study with an existential-phenomenological-humanistic approach based on the Nursology of Paterson and Zderad. The scenario was a shelter for HIV/AIDS children located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Information was collected using phenomenological interview carried out with three children with AIDS. This article presents part of the interpretation of the obtained information centered in two meaning units. The results provided an understanding of the child's play as way of feeling better in the environment of the shelter because the child perceives himself/herself as part of that environment with others. It also gives visibility to children with HIV/AIDS in shelters, and highlights the importance of including this theme in undergraduate courses, training health professionals in humanistic care, and managers to develop specific public policies for this population.

Mothers' knowledge and practices must be understood to be recognized by health care professionals. This was a qualitative investigation with a participatory approach carried out with 10 mothers who attended a Family Health Team in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The study aimed at knowing their knowledge and practices as to the health of 0 to 6-month-old infants. Information was collected during four meetings, called "reflective-educative process". Such process is based on the theoretical-methodological strategy of the Circles of Culture proposed by Paulo Freire. Information was submitted to content analysis. The study reveals the existence of dissonance between what mothers know and what they actually do in when it comes to childcare. It also indicates the need for greater proximity between health care professionals and families so that information on child health care is shared.
