[Adolescent pregnancy from a family perspective: sharing projects of life and care].
This qualitative study aimed to apprehend the meaning of adolescents' pregnancy for their families, using semistructured interviews and collective subject discourse. Adolescent pregnancy is represented as a problem to be faced with family support. The families worry and are mobilized to solve adversities. Besides the shock about the news, impotence as to pregnancy prevention, conformism, happiness and improvement in family relationships due to the baby's arrival, participants evidenced frustration due to the interruption/change in the family life project in terms of the adolescent being pregnant without a stable relationship with the child's father. In valuing the family perspective on adolescent pregnancy, professional care to pregnant adolescents and their families can be delivered in partnership with the family and social context, making it easier to cope with conflicts and recognizing the family as an active subject in this process.

[The role of visiting family member and companion of adult and elderly people according to nurse indications].
This qualitative study was based on Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory and aimed to understand the interactive experience of visiting family members and companions of hospitalized adult and elderly people and to develop a theoretical model of this experience. Data were collected through observations and interviews. Two phenomena emerged from the data analysis: living the expectation of hospitalization and assuming the roles of a family visitor or companion. Understanding this experience increased our knowledge about the change that occurred, which was called "shifting between the role of visiting family member and companion in view of nurses' indications": sharing an experience of few pleasures in solidarity with hospitalized adult and elderly people.

[Understanding the meaning of pregnancy for pregnant diabetic women].
This qualitative study intends to understand the meaning of pregnancy for diabetic women. Semi-structured interviews were carried out and data were analyzed by means of the Collective Subject Discourse, identifying the following central ideas: "happiness about a desired pregnancy", "preoccupation with pregnancy and renouncement", "my pregnancy was planned", "I had other plans", "I feel what pregnant women feel", "I had many problems during pregnancy", "a child was everything that he wanted", "he didn't feel the same emotions as a woman", "I am controlling, doing everything the doctor says", "I am trying to follow a diet, but it is hard". These central ideas demonstrate that, among the diabetic pregnant women, planning and wanting the pregnancy and counting on the support of the family and/or companion were also essential for the treatment to be faced naturally and for the pregnancy to be experienced in a pleasant way.
