Skin injuries in newborns hospitalized in neonatal intensive care: a cross-sectional study.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the skin injuries of hospitalized newborns and identify factors related to the number of lesions. METHOD: This was a cross-sectional epidemiological study carried out over a period of one year in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the west of Paraná. The study included 74 newborns with a score ≥5 on the Newborn Skin Condition Scale. Data analysis by chi-square and Pearson's test (p < 0.05). RESULTS: The frequency was 25.4%, 59.4% had more than one lesion, mainly dermatitis and pressure injury. Birth characteristics were not related to the number of lesions. Not using antibiotics and parenteral nutrition, hemoglobin >11g/dl, phototherapy, pain score <4 and hospitalization >30 days were related to the number of lesions. The presence of two injuries led to longer healing time and three to longer hospitalization. A higher score on the Skin Condition Scale was related to healing time and late start of the diet. CONCLUSION: Skin injuries were found to be infrequent among newborns, but there is still a need to improve practices to prevent and maintain skin integrity.

According to the clinical characteristics of symptoms and comorbidities, the following prevailed:ities dyspnea, intercostal retraction, cyanosis, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, smoking, lung disease, kidneydisease, neurological disease, neoplasia, and immunodeficiency. Among the cases that were not hospitalized, death was associated with: malegender, all age groups over 50 years, dyspnea, cyanosis, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, neurological disease, neoplasia, and liver disease. Conclusions: Older adults, male, and Caucasian people are commonly affected by COVID-19 and can evolve with aggravation when they have modifiable risk factors such as obesity and smoking, as well as nonmodifiable risk factors such as: cardiovascular disease, neurological disease, renal, hypertension, diabetes, and immunosuppression.

Quality of follow-up of preterm infants in the Primary Health Care network: "Qualipreterm" guide.

OBJECTIVES: to develop the first version of an assessment guide for the quality of follow-up of preterm infants in Primary Health Care. METHODS: a descriptive methodological study, which developed a guide to assess follow-up quality of preterm infants in Primary Care. Steps of conceptual establishment, construction of items and answers, organization of domains and structuring of the guide were carried out. RESULTS: the guide was organized in five domains that included: Hospital discharge planning and care plan organization; Home follow-up during visits and teleservice; Infant health monitoring to promote health and prevent injuries; Integration between health services, education and specialized monitoring; Family support and support for care. It is proposed to assess the domains in inadequate, regular, good and excellent. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the first version of the guide suggests assessment elements aimed at the recommendations of good practices for preterm infants' health in the Primary Health Care network.

Therapeutic itinerary of children with special health care needs: analysis guided by care systems.

OBJECTIVE: To understand the therapeutic itinerary taken by families in search of attention to their child's special health care needs in a Brazilian border town. METHOD: Qualitative research based on dialectical hermeneutics and on the Health Care Systems model. Interviews and Talking Maps (Dynamics of Creativity and Sensitivity) were carried out with 19 caregivers of children with special health care needs, attended at care institutions in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, in 2020. For data analysis, thematic analysis was used. RESULTS: The fragilities of the Health Care System were highlighted, permeated by: difficulties in accessing the diagnosis and consultations; overload for care; (dis)organization of the care itinerary; and deconstruction of the bond, due to failures in communication and reception. Conclusion: The deconstruction of the therapeutic itinerary of children with special health care needs involved, above all, the professional context in the Health Care System, leading to the search for care in private services and in care institutions.

Follow-up care for premature children: the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze elements of the follow-up care provided to premature children amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. METHOD: qualitative study from the perspective of philosophical hermeneutics, interpreting experiences with childcare provided at home. Twelve mothers and 14 children aged two years old were interviewed online via a text messaging application. Data were analyzed by interpreting meanings. RESULTS: weaknesses stood out in the follow-up care provided to children such as gaps of communication, lack of guidance and delayed immunizations, while care intended to meet health demands was interrupted. Vulnerability aspects affecting child development included: social isolation measures that impeded the children from socializing with their peers, increased screen time, the manifestation of demanding behaviors and irritation and the mothers experiencing an overload of responsibilities. The elements that strengthened maternal care included the mothers being attentive to contagion, enjoying greater experience and satisfaction with the maternal role, spending more time with their children, and recognizing respiratory signs and symptoms, especially fever. CONCLUSION: follow-up care provided to children in stressful situations implies implementing practices that support the wellbeing of children and families, decreasing the likelihood of children being exposed to development deficits, and detecting signs and symptoms timely. The use of nursing call centers can break the invisibility of longitudinal needs and promote health education actions at home.

Factors related to duration of hospitalization and death in premature newborns.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze factors related to prolonged hospitalization and death in premature newborns in a border region. METHOD: Cross-sectional study, with retrospective data collection, which analyzed 951 medical records of premature newborns hospitalized between 2013 and 2017. The independent variables were maternal age, nationality, prenatal appointments, maternal intercurrences, gestational age, weight at birth, Apgar, complications; the dependent variables were days of hospitalization, discharge, death, and transference. The tests Pearson Chi-squared and Fisher's Exact were employed. RESULTS: Premature birth amounted to 10.3%; out of these, 43.3% were hospitalized. The prevalence of mortality was 21.3%. Few prenatal appointments, maternal intercurrences, low fifth minute Apgar, and the baby's health complications increased days of hospitalization. Lower weight and gestational age, low Apgar and complications with the baby increased death. CONCLUSION: Understanding hospitalization aspects enabled the identification of factors that lead to complications to the premature newborn, which are relevant to efforts to overcome unfavorable outcomes and face challenges posed by the sequels throughout life. The integration between countries and their borders is a notorious condition to accelerate care processes and promote better outcomes.

Therapeutic itinerary of breast cancer women in a border municipality.

OBJECTIVES: to know the therapeutic itinerary and to show the implications of breast cancer for women in a border town in southern Brazil. METHODS: a qualitative research conducted based on the complexity paradigm, through interviews with 13 women with breast cancer undergoing outpatient treatment and data analyzed by thematic analysis. RESULTS: the first signs and symptoms of breast cancer were noticed unexpectedly, in everyday moments and during routine visits. There was family support in the search for assistance in primary care services, but organizational barriers led this itinerary to private health services, including Paraguay. Coping with the disease and treatment was anchored in the family subsystem. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the paths for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment included families, primary care services and private health services, including from the neighboring country, considering the vulnerability of border regions to guarantee health care.

Coping with COVID-19 in an international border region: health and economy.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze how the social isolation measures and closed borders affected the health and economy in an international border region. METHOD: descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in the western region of Paraná, Brazil, using an electronic form created using Google® forms. A sample of 2,510 people was addressed. Descriptive analysis and the Chi-square test were performed, with a level of significance established at 5%. This public opinion survey, addressing unidentified participants, is in accordance with Resolutions 466/2012 and 510/2016. RESULTS: the participants were 41.5 years old on average, most were women and worked in the education sector; 41.9% reported that the closing of borders/commercial businesses negatively influenced income; 17.7% reported the possibility of losing their jobs; 89.0% consider that a larger number of people would be sick if the borders/commercial had not been closed; 63.7% believe the health services are not prepared to deal with the pandemic; 74.9% realize that the Brazilian Unified Health System may not have sufficient service capacity; 63.4% reported anxiety; and 75.6% of commercial workers will experience changes in their income level. CONCLUSION: the closing of international borders and commercial businesses was related to a perception of physical and mental changes, job loss, and decreased income.

The vulnerabilities of premature children: home and institutional contexts.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze situations in which premature children are vulnerable in home care, in the first six months after hospital discharge. METHOD: Qualitative study, from the perspective of philosophical hermeneutics, carried out in a Brazilian city on the border. In-depth interviews were conducted, with a data analysis considering the method of interpretation of meanings. 18 mothers of premature children discharged from a hospital unit participated. 25 home visits and 56 calls were made. RESULTS: The reports from the mothers express situations of vulnerability, concerns, needs for care, singularities of the development of the premature baby, and repercussions of institutional routines in home care. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are vulnerable circumstances in prematurity that reaffirm interconnected individual, social, and institutional dimensions. It is important to highlight that the institutional dimension involves the responsibility of health professionals not to increase individual and social vulnerabilities, but to promote care and seek to reduce situations that generate risks, uncertainties, concerns, and damages.

Care opportunities for premature infants: home visits and telephone support.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze opportunities for orientations to promote the care of premature infants during home visits and telephone support. METHOD: a qualitative study from the perspective of philosophical hermeneutics conducted with 18 mothers of premature infants discharged from hospital. Hospital contact and interviews were carried out, 15 and 45 days after discharge and at the infants' six months of life, with data analysis by interpretation of meanings from 25 home visits and 56 telephone support contacts. RESULTS: the following two thematic units emerged: Needs for contact and guidance: the place for home visits and opportunities for resolving doubts by telephone support, indicating aspects that suggest weakening child health, discontinuity in follow-up and vulnerability in specialized follow-ups. Home visits and telephone support favored the concern of health needs, doubts about basic care and problem solving, as ways to prevent damage and promote child health. CONCLUSION: home visits and telephone support emerge as collaborative practices of care and detection of latent conditions, which can be reduced or interrupted with prompt return of guidance, suggesting opportune strategies to increase follow-up, linkage and access to the health services.

Abstract Objective Understanding the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on the care of children with special health needs. Methods Exploratory, qualitative research, anchored in the conceptual framework of health vulnerability in the individual, social and institutional dimensions. Interviews were carried out from October 2020 to February 2021 (pre-vaccination against COVID-19) with 19 family caregivers, 11 professionals from education, social protection and health institutions and 15 primary health care nurses in a Brazilian city on the Brazil-Argentina-Paraguay border. Reflective thematic analysis was applied. Results Discontinuity in care, low scope of social protection and unstable institutional context marked the attention of children with special health needs. Individual vulnerabilities were highlighted as a result of vaccination delays, fear of contagion and changes in development; institutional vulnerability due to restrictions on home visits, waiting lists, lack of professionals and absence of group activities; and social vulnerability related to difficulties in social assistance and the closure of land borders. Elements related to the telehealth strategy and mechanisms that assume professional responsibility expressed strengths for the care of children with special health needs. Conclusion The restrictive measures adopted at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the care of children with special health needs, intensifying their individual and social vulnerabilities. Strengthening family and community contexts and expanding dialogue between sectors of primary health care indicate avoiding a mismatch between professional support and the pressing needs of these children, ensuring continuity of care.

Results: Identified as potential factors: Extreme prematurity and/or very premature, low birth weight, complications, and prolonged hospitalization. With the incorporation of the data, the relevance of these factors for children at risk of changes in development and behavior was verified. Mothers described their children as having healthy development but recognized prematurity is a factor that predisposes to new hospitalizations, and perinatal factors and those related to hospitalization contribute to the development of special health needs. Conclusion: The importance of early identification of factors that enhance the development of special health needs is understood to initiate the necessary stimuli to strengthen child development.
