RESUMO
The article considers issues of organizational and legal progress of social protection of workers involved in medical care during period of COVID-19. The purpose of the study is to analyze regulatory legal documents that define state guarantees that provide social protection for persons involved in the provision of medical care during COVID-19. The attempt was made to analyze international and national information on relevant morbidity, mortality and disability of health care workers, but respective data was not readily available in open admission. The analysis of international documents (the WHO, CDC, JHU reports), public documents of the Russian Federation, information from official websites of the President of the Russian Federation and the executive authorities of the Russian Federation (state reports on sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population in the Russian Federation in 2020-2022) demonstrated the following. The whole world faced with the problem of protecting health care workers from contamination with new corona-virus infection. In the Russian Federation, unprecedented measures were taken to ensure social protection for this category of workers, including provision of additional social benefits.

The benefits of therapeutic play (TP) in pediatrics are widely reported in the literature, however its use by health professionals is still limited. The objective was to understand how professionals belonging to the BrinquEinstein group evaluate the process of systematic implementation of TP in hospital pediatric units. Exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, developed in the pediatric and intensive care units of extra-large general hospital in São Paulo. The sample consisted of 13 professionals from different categories belonging to BrinquEinstein. Data was collected through individual semi-structured and audio-recorded interviews, being analyzed based on the Inductive Thematic Analysis proposed by Braun and Clark. From the analysis of the interviews, five themes emerged: experiencing a transforming process; the benefits that strengthen the path; the facilities that encourage the walk; the barriers that challenge the process; the future prospects. For the interviewed professionals, it is essential that the use of TP becomes a routine practice in different contexts of the child´s healthcare, in which managers and institutions play a fundamental role in its implementation.
Os benefícios do brinquedo terapêutico (BT) em pediatria são amplamente divulgados na literatura, entretanto, seu uso pelos profissionais de saúde ainda é limitado. Objetivou-se compreender como os profissionais que pertencem ao grupo BrinquEinstein e avaliam o processo de implementação sistemática do BT em unidades pediátricas hospitalares. Realizou-se estudo exploratório, de abordagem qualitativa, nas unidades pediátrica e de terapia intensiva de um hospital geral de extraporte, na cidade de São Paulo. Participaram 13 profissionais de diferentes categorias pertencentes ao BrinquEinstein. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada individual e audiogravada, sendo analisados a partir da Análise Temática Indutiva proposta por Braun e Clark. Da análise das entrevistas, emergiram cinco temas: vivenciando um processo transformador; os benefícios que fortalecem o caminho; as facilidades que impulsionam a caminhada; as barreiras que desafiam o processo; e as perspectivas futuras. Para os profissionais entrevistados, é imprescindível que o uso do BT se torne uma prática rotineira nos diferentes contextos de atendimento à saúde da criança, sendo que gestores e instituições têm papel fundamental na sua implementação.

Invisibility is an issue that requires more attention among healthcare professionals, as some activities in Primary Care go unnoticed. One example is the offer of complementary therapies, whose implementation has been frail and, consequently, can be overlooked in the Unified Health System. This study aims to understand the factors contributing to the public invisibility of Integrative and Complementary Practices in Primary Care. It is a descriptive, exploratory, and qualitative research involving semi-structured interviews with 20 professionals in the Metropolitan Region of Goiânia. Thematic content analysis was applied to the interviews, revealing elements indicating the public invisibility of these practices, such as insufficient discussion in team meetings, inconsistency in the recording in user files, and low prioritization in implementation. In the interviews, social humiliation, a product of public invisibility, can also be perceived due to overload, embarrassments, and lack of physical space for the provision of practices to the users. It is concluded that Integrative and Complementary Practices are often overlooked in Primary Care.
A invisibilidade é uma questão que necessita de maior atenção entre os profissionais de saúde, pois algumas atividades na Atenção Primária passam despercebidas. Um exemplo é a oferta de terapias complementares, cuja implementação tem sido frágil e, consequentemente, pode ser invisibilizada no Sistema Único de Saúde. Este estudo visa compreender os fatores que contribuem para a invisibilidade pública das Práticas Integrativas e Complementares na Atenção Primária. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, exploratória e qualitativa, envolvendo entrevistas semiestruturadas com 20 profissionais na Região Metropolitana de Goiânia. A análise de conteúdo temática foi aplicada às entrevistas, revelando elementos que indicam a invisibilidade pública dessas práticas, como a falta de discussão nas reuniões de equipe, a desuniformidade no registro nos prontuários dos usuários e a baixa priorização na implementação. Nas entrevistas, a humilhação social, produto da invisibilidade pública, também pode ser percebida devido à sobrecarga, constrangimentos e falta de espaço físico para a oferta das práticas aos usuários. Conclui-se que as Práticas Integrativas e Complementares são frequentemente invisibilizadas na Atenção Primária.

BACKGROUND: Most the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries are currently facing the challenges of the health transition, the aging of their populations and the increase in chronic diseases. Effective and comprehensive primary healthcare (PHC) services are considered essential for establishing an equitable, and cost-effective healthcare system. Developing care coordination and, on a broader scale, care integration, is a guarantee of quality healthcare delivery. The development of healthcare systems at the meso-level supports this ambition and results in a process of territorial structuring of PHC. In France, the Health Territorial and Professional Communities (HTPC) constitute meso-level organizations in which healthcare professionals (HCPs) from the same territory gather. We conducted a study to determine, in a qualitative step, the key elements of the territorial structuring of PHC in France and, then, to develop, in a quantitative step, a typology of this structuring. METHODS: A sequential-exploratory mixed-method study with a qualitative step using a multiple case approach and a quantitative step as a hierarchical clustering on principal components (HCPC) from a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). RESULTS: A total of 7 territories were qualitatively explored. Territorial structuring appears to depend on: past collaborations at the micro-level, meso-level coordination among HCPs and multiprofessional structures, diversity of independent professionals, demographic dynamics attracting young professionals, and public health investment through local health contracts (LHCs). The typology identifies 4 clusters of mainland French territories based on their level of structuring: under or unstructured (38.6%), with potential for structuring (34.7%), in the way for structuring (25.3%) and already structured territories (1.4%). CONCLUSION: Interest in territorial structuring aligns with challenges in meso-level healthcare organization and the need for integrated care. Typologies of territorial structuring should be used to understand its impact on access, care quality, and medical resources.

BACKGROUND: All Nepalese citizens have the right to high-quality healthcare services free of charge. To achieve this, healthcare services for the rural population in Nepal need to be improved in terms of personnel, medicines, and medical equipment. OBJECTIVES: To explore challenges and possible improvements healthcare personnel experience when travelling to rural parts of Nepal to provide healthcare. METHOD: Data was collected from various health professionals using focus group discussions at Dhulikhel Hospital in Nepal. The data were transcribed and analysed using Systematic text condensation. RESULTS: Twenty-two professional healthcare personnel participated in five group discussions. Four categories emerged from the collected material: Finding ORC services being underutilised, Wanting to fulfil tasks and do a good job, Facing inadequate resources, and Seeing the need for improved organisation and cooperation. There was consensus that rural clinics are important to maintaining health for the rural population of Nepal. However, there was frustration that the rural population was not benefitting from all available healthcare services due to underutilisation. CONCLUSION: Rural healthcare clinics are not utilised appropriately, according to healthcare workers at the rural outreach clinics. Potential ways of overcoming the perceived challenges of underutilising available healthcare services include financial and human resources. The rural population´s health awareness needs to be increased, and the work environment for rural healthcare workers needs to be improved. These issues need to be prioritised by the government and policymakers.
Main findings: Outreach clinics in Nepal are perceived as underutilised by health providers.Added knowledge: Increased awareness among rural people on when to seek healthcare, improved work conditions for health providers and collaboration with other health facilities may strengthen the utilisation of offered care.Global health impact for policy and action: Updated policies reflecting these Nepalese suggestions on strengthening rural healthcare may be useful and benefit other rural populations in similar settings.

This essay elucidates the Healthcare and Intersectionality notions to prompt reflections on the interaction between healthcare professionals and individuals referred to as Nanás: elderly, poor, and Black women who represent a historically marginalized profile throughout Brazilian history. By delving into the arguments about the concept of Intersectionality and the multifaceted Care dimensions, it becomes apparent that there is a pressing need to broaden the perspective on women who access healthcare services, as they are inherently shaped by their life experiences. Moreover, it is imperative to acknowledge how the intersecting factors inherent in their profiles can influence the approach taken by those providing Care, which underscores the essentiality of an intersectional agency on the part of the agents involved in this encounter, namely the Nanás and healthcare workers, to effectively uphold the principles of comprehensiveness and equity within the Unified Health System (SUS).
O presente ensaio articula os conceitos de Cuidado em Saúde e Interseccionalidade para suscitar reflexões sobre o encontro entre o/a trabalhador/a de saúde e aquelas que aqui denominamos uma Naná: uma mulher, negra, idosa e periférica, perfil historicamente vulnerabilizado ao longo da história brasileira. Considerando as argumentações que envolvem o conceito de Interseccionalidade e as diferentes vertentes acerca do Cuidado, observamos a necessidade de se ampliar o olhar sobre estas que buscam os serviços de saúde já atravessadas por suas histórias de vida, e ponderar sobre os atravessamentos que seu perfil pode acionar em quem exerce o Cuidado. Aponta ser primordial uma agência interseccional por parte das/os agentes deste encontro, Nanás e profissionais de saúde, para que se concretizem os princípios de integralidade e equidade no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).

Drawing from collective experiences in our capacity building project: Health Equity Activation Research Team for Inclusion Health, we argue that while community-engaged partnerships tend to focus on understanding health inequities and developing solutions, they can be healing spaces for health professionals and researchers. Data were obtained from a 15-month participatory ethnography, including focus groups and interviews. Ethnographic notes and transcripts were coded and analyzed using both deductive and inductive coding. Practices of radical welcome, vulnerability, valuing the whole person, acknowledging how partnerships can cause harm, and centering lived experience expertise in knowledge creation processes were identified as key characteristics of healing spaces. Ultimately, health professionals and researchers work within the same social, political and economic contexts of populations with the worst health outcomes. Their own healing is critical for tackling larger systemic changes aimed at improving the well-being of communities harmed by legacies of exclusion.

Unhealthy housing is bad for your health. This was recently pointed out by the report Left out in the cold: the hidden health costs of Britain's cold homes by the UCL Institute of Health Equity and a The Lancet editorial. Those who suffer most are the poorest and most disadvantaged households due to determinants of gender, ethnicity or disability. Although the World health organisation guidelines on housing and health promote adequate housing as a key factor to improve health, many governments are slow to act. Supporting policies that restore the right to housing - and to a safe home - should be a priority for governments. Not least because it would be an investment: improving housing conditions reduces inappropriate access to emergency departments and hospital admissions. Health workers can play a key role as privileged observers of the individuals and families who would benefit most from public institutional support.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Adolescents with haematological malignancies within adult services, in the UK from 16 years old, have unique needs and require developmentally targeted services and approaches to care delivery. High-risk intensive treatments are common for this cohort and a better understanding of what individualised supportive and palliative care means in this context is required. RECENT FINDINGS: Being known and understood as an emerging adult, with particular recognition of developmental stage, is an essential component of quality measures and underpins the adolescent, and caregiver, experience when faced with an uncertain or poor cancer prognosis (UPCP). Healthcare professionals (HCPs) can experience increased emotional labour and feelings of professional inadequacy when caring for adolescents with UPCP. Therapeutic alliance improves HCPs understanding of optimum individualised care by improving communication and supported decision making. Access to training and support for HCPs is required to address the emotional impact of therapeutic alliance with teenage/adolescent and young adults (T/AYAs) with advanced cancer. SUMMARY: Investment in therapeutic alliance, alongside robust support mechanisms and targeted training, can improve the skills, confidence and wellbeing for HCPs, and can also ensure optimum individualised care for T/AYAs with UPCP. Evidence for optimum care for adolescents with advanced cancer is relatively scarce, especially for younger T/AYAs (16-24) in the UK who sit within adult services. Further evaluation of the impact of current UK expertise, services and programs are needed to inform future development.

COVID-19 put unprecedented strain on the health and care workforce (HCWF). Yet, it also brought the HCWF to the forefront of the policy agenda and revealed many innovative solutions that can be built upon to overcome persistent workforce challenges. In this perspective, which draws on a Policy Brief prepared for the WHO Fifth Global Forum on Human Resources for Health, we present findings from a scoping review of global emergency workforce strategies implemented during the pandemic and consider what we can learn from them for the long-term sustainability of the HCWF. Our review shows that strategies to strengthen HCWF capacity during COVID-19 fell into three categories: (1) surging supply of health and care workers (HCWs); (2) optimizing the use of the workforce in terms of setting, skills and roles; and (3) providing HCWs with support and protection. While some initiatives were only short-term strategies, others have potential to be continued. COVID-19 demonstrated that changes to scope-of-practice and the introduction of team-based roles are possible and central to an effective, sustainable workforce. Additionally, the use of technology and digital tools increased rapidly during COVID-19 and can be built on to enhance access and efficiency. The pandemic also highlighted the importance of prioritizing the security, safety, and physical and mental health of workers, implementing measures that are gender and equity-focused, and ensuring the centrality of the worker perspective in efforts to improve HCWF retention. Flexibility of regulatory, financial, technical measures and quality assurance was critical in facilitating the implementation of HCWF strategies and needs to be continued. The lessons learned from COVID-19 can help countries strengthen the HCWF, health systems, and the health and well-being of all, now and in the future.

BACKGROUND: In 2020, the first vaccines were approved, according to the WHO. However, speculations arose regarding their efficacy and post-vaccination adverse events (AEFV). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of headache as AEFI from the SARSCoV-2 vaccine in Piauí, Brazil. METHODS: This is a quantitative, observational, cross-sectional, and prevalence study. Data were provided by the Post-Vaccination Adverse Event Information System (SI-AEFV), from reported cases from January to September 2021. Data were analyzed, and the research was approved by the UFPI Research Ethics Committee. RESULTS: A total of 2,008 cases were analyzed. Headache was reported in 752 cases (27.99%) as an AEFV after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. In most cases, patients were from Teresina (67.62%), of brown race/ethnicity (52.67%), female (79.00%), and the majority were not healthcare professionals (54.27%). The most common age of patients, with the original data, was 33 years. After data correction, the most common age was 28 years. The majority of these cases were not severe (96.44%), and the majority of cases were associated with the first dose of the Covid-19-Covishield-Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine (43.18%).CONCLUSION: Thus, it is concluded from the partial analysis of the results that headache is the most common adverse event after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. The profile of patients with the most notifications was brown women aged 30 to 40 years who received the first dose of the Covid-19-Covishield-Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine. Regarding the severity of events, the vast majority were considered non-severe, and no deaths were mentioned, demonstrating the safety of immunobiologicals.

Con base en los conceptos del análisis institucional, la experiencia como acompañante muestra formas de trabajar en equipos de Apoyo Institucional a la Estrategia de Salud de la Familia (ESF). Reflejando el papel de apoyo a los equipos de la ESF de un municipio del interior de Rio Grande do Sul, a ser evaluado por la adhesión al Programa de Mejora del Acceso y la Calidad de la Atención Básica, el objetivo fue: presentar el papel de la AI ayudar a los equipos y, específicamente, mapear las relaciones de cogestión y autonomía recomendadas por el SUS, explorando las prácticas de esa construcción. La herramienta democratizó la relación entre trabajadores y directivos, promoviendo una mayor comunicación entre ellos, constituyendo un aporte que priorizó, además del conocimiento académico, el conocimiento cotidiano de los actores involucrados, dando voz a sus experiencias en sus contextos sociales.

Los modos de producción generan formas de organización y división del trabajo que puede ocasionar la aparición de riesgos psicosociales como la fatiga o el estrés laboral. El objetivo del presente estudio fue, evaluar los factores de riesgo psicosociales, la fatiga y el estrés laboral en profesionales integrantes de Servicios de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo, en cuatro empresas venezolanas en el 2020. Estudio de campo, descriptivo, de corte transversal. Participaron 39 trabajadores (muestra censal), 25,6% inspectores, 20,6% enfermeras y 20,6% personal médico. Se usó el cuestionario SUSESO/ISTAS21 versión breve, el cuestionario de Estrés Laboral OIT-OMS, el cuestionario de Síntomas Subjetivos de Fatiga y el cuestionario de Problemas Psicosomáticos. Resultados: Solo el 51% son del sexo masculino, promedio de edad de 35±8,7con antigüedad de 6±4,5años. Todos están bajo el tipo de contratación tercerizada (outsourcing). Resultó un trabajo de alta demanda, pero con alto control (trabajo activo). Niveles de riesgo medio (45%) vinculado al Apoyo Social y Calidad de liderazgo y nivel de riesgo alto (40%) en Compensaciones y Doble presencia. El trabajo es fatigante para el 30,7% y el estresor con mayor puntaje fue la Influencia del Líder. Concluyéndose que en estos servicios hay un número importante de profesionales femeninos, adultos jóvenes, con antigüedad laboral, expuestos a diferentes factores de riesgo psicosociales con importante influencia del líder, generadores de fatiga laboral. Recomendándose la revisión del tipo de contratación, la compensación dineraria, así como evaluaciones periódicas sobre el clima laboral(AU)
The modes of production generate forms of organization and division of labor that can cause the appearance of psychosocial risks such as fatigue or work stress. The objective of this study was to evaluate psychosocial risk factors, fatigue and work stress in professionals who are members of Occupational Health and Safety Services, in four Venezuelan companies in 2020. Descriptive, crosssectional field study. 39 workers (census sample) participated, 25.6% inspectors, 20.6% nurses and 20.6% medical personnel. The SUSESO/ISTAS21 short version questionnaire, the OIT-WHO Work Stress questionnaire, the Subjective Symptoms of Fatigue questionnaire and the Psychosomatic Problems questionnaire were used. Results: Only 51% were male, mean age 35 ± 8.7 with seniority age of 6 ± 4.5 years. All are under the outsourcing type of hiring. It turned out to be a high demand job, but with highly controlled (active work). Medium risk levels (45%) linked to Social Support and Leadership Quality, and high risk level (40%) in Compensations and Double presence. The work is tiring for 30.7% and the stressor with the highest score was the Influence of the Leader. It was concluded that in these services there are a significant number of female professionals, young adults, with seniority, exposed to different psychosocial risk factors with Important Leader Influence, generators of work fatigue. Recommending the review of the type of contract, the monetary compensation, as well as periodic evaluations of the work environment(AU)

An important step in preparation for the fourth COVID-19 wave is to provide healthcare workers (HCWs) with skills to facilitate behaviour change in vaccine-hesitant patients. Convincing members of the public who are vaccine hesitant rather than anti-vaxxers should be the focus of our efforts. Our experience is that vaccine-hesitant individuals and anti-vaxxers are generally distinct cohorts, with differing reasons for their vaccine reluctance. If we are to truly address hesitancy, we must take time to understand the reasons for an individual's hesitancy. Developing a conceptual framework and skills for HCWs during encounters with unvaccinated individuals will be important not only for shifting some to get vaccinated, but also to manage the complex emotions that HCWs will undoubtedly be forced to confront during the fourth wave.

Shared medical appointments (SMAs) offer a means for providing knowledge and skills needed for chronic disease management to patients. However, SMAs require a time and attention investment from health care providers, who must understand the goals and potential benefits of SMAs from the perspective of patients and providers. To better understand how to gain provider engagement and inform future SMA implementation, qualitative inquiry of provider experience based on a knowledge-attitude-practice model was explored. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 health care providers leading SMAs for heart failure at three Veterans Administration Medical Centers. Rapid matrix analysis process techniques including team-based qualitative inquiry followed by stakeholder validation was employed. The interview guide followed a knowledge-attitude-practice model with a priori domains of knowledge of SMA structure and content (understanding of how SMAs were structured), SMA attitude/beliefs (general expectations about SMA use), attitudes regarding how leading SMAs affected patients, and providers. Data regarding the patient referral process (organizational processes for referring patients to SMAs) and suggested improvements were collected to further inform the development of SMA implementation best practices. Providers from all three sites reported similar knowledge, attitude and beliefs of SMAs. In general, providers reported that the multi-disciplinary structure of SMAs was an effective strategy towards improving clinical outcomes for patients. Emergent themes regarding experiences with SMAs included improved self-efficacy gained from real-time collaboration with providers from multiple disciplines, perceived decrease in patient re-hospitalizations, and promotion of self-management skills for patients with HF. Most providers reported that the SMA-setting facilitated patient learning by providing opportunities for the sharing of experiences and knowledge. This was associated with the perception of increased comradery and support among patients. Future research is needed to test suggested improvements and to develop best practices for training additional sites to implement HF SMA.

We used a structured interview to explore approaches to comprehensive hemophilia and arthropathy care among 24 healthcare professionals (HCPs) from multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) in Canada and the UK. Represented MDTs typically comprise a hematologist, nurse, physiotherapist, and sometimes an orthopedic surgeon; pediatric (and some adult) MDTs also include a social worker/psychologist. HCPs emphasized the centrality of a team approach, facilitated through MDT meetings and involvement of all MDT members in patient care. In both countries, nurses and physiotherapists play critical, multifaceted roles. Respondents agreed that MDTs are crucial for successful transitioning, which can be facilitated by close collaboration between pediatric and adult MDTs, even when they are not co-located. Physiotherapists are instrumental in providing non-pharmacological pain relief. Hematologists or physiotherapists typically make orthopedic referrals, with the nurse, physiotherapist and hematologist working together in patient preparation for (and follow-up after) surgery. MDT best practices include a non-hierarchical team approach, ensuring that all MDT members know all patients, and regular MDT meetings. Together, these real-life insights from the MDT perspective emphasize the value of the MDT approach in comprehensive hemophilia care.
