Objetivo:identificar os saberes de enfermeiras sobre icterícia neonatal. Método:pesquisa-ação, qualitativa, realizada em uma maternidade pública no Paraná. Nove enfermeiras participaram na etapa de diagnóstico, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise de conteúdo. Nas etapas de ação e avaliação, participaram 49 profissionais, ocorreu observação participante, entrevista em grupo e análise de conteúdo. Resultados: emergiram três categorias: saberes de enfermeiras para identificação da icterícia neonatal; saberes para manejo adequado; saberes sobre as consequências da icterícia não tratada. Foi identificado pouco conhecimento sobre a fisiopatologia da doença, cuidados específicos e consequências da icterícia inadequadamente tratada. Foi desenvolvida uma capacitação sobre o tema em conjunto com a instituição. Conclusões: na primeira etapa, as enfermeiras demonstraram saber avaliar e identificar precocemente a icterícia, mas tinham pouco conhecimento sobre cuidados com a fototerapia e consequências do tratamento inadequado. São necessárias ações de educação permanente para qualificar a assistência aos recém-nascidos com icterícia

Objective: to identify the knowledge of nurses about neonatal jaundice. Method: qualitative action research conducted in a public maternity hospital in Paraná. Nine nurses participated in the diagnostic stage, semi-structured interviews and content analysis were performed. In the action and evaluation stages, 49 professionals participated, and participant observation, group interviews, and content analysis were conducted. Results: three categories emerged: knowledge of nurses for the identification of neonatal jaundice; knowledge for proper management; knowledge about the consequences of untreated jaundice. Limited knowledge was identified regarding the pathophysiology of the disease, specific care, and consequences of inadequately treated jaundice. Training on the subject was developed in collaboration with the institution. Conclusions: in the first stage, nurses demonstrated the ability to evaluate and identify jaundice early, but had limited knowledge about care with phototherapy and the consequences of inadequate treatment. Continuous education actions are necessary to improve the care for newborns with jaundice.

Relationship between gastrointestinal symptoms and COVID-19 infection in the pediatric population: a scoping review.

OBJECTIVE: To map the evidence in the literature about the relationship between gastrointestinal symptoms and COVID-19 in the pediatric population. METHOD: This is a scoping review following the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR): Checklist and Explanation. The search was carried out on the following bases: Embase, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, CINAHL, Scielo, Web of Science and Virtual Health Library Portal, between July and August 2023. Original studies available in full, in any language, were included. RESULTS: Ten studies were chosen that pointed to three premises: (1) the ACE2 receptor is found in the epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract; (2) gastrointestinal symptoms are mediated by stress and infection is justified by the gut-brain axis; (3) it develops the process of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in children, affecting the gastrointestinal tract. CONCLUSION: The synthesis of evidence provided three assumptions which guide the origin of gastrointestinal symptoms. The identification of gastrointestinal symptoms in children affected by COVID-19 can assist in the clinical approach and management of care and treatments.

HIV and AIDS in the state of Paraná, Brazil, 2007-2022: trends and spatiotemporal distribution.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of the incidence rates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the state of Paraná, Brazil. METHODS: An ecological study with an analytical component of time series analysis was conducted in the state of Paraná from 2007 to 2022. The data source was the Notifiable Diseases Information System. To study the trend, the Prais-Winsten generalized linear regression model was used by decomposing the time series, and for spatial analysis, the Moran's index was applied. RESULTS: The total sample consisted of 50,676 HIV/AIDS records. The incidence rate showed an increasing trend, with an average growth of 2.14% [95% confidence interval - 95%CI 1.16-3.13] per month. From 2007 to 2014 and from 2015 to 2022, the average number of cases in the state was 105.64 and 159.20 per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively, with significant variation among municipalities. Spatial clusters of high risk persisted in the metropolitan region, the capital, and coastal areas, and a new cluster was observed in the northern region of the state. CONCLUSION: The incidence rates of HIV/AIDS showed an upward trend over time. The number of cases varied considerably in some municipalities, especially in the coastal region. Spatial analysis revealed geospatial patterns of high risk in the main metropolitan areas of Paraná: Curitiba (including the coastal area), Londrina, and Maringá, which share characteristics such as a high degree of urbanization and ongoing economic development.

Association between near miss maternal with sociodemographic factors and health assistants / Associação entre o near miss materno com fatores sociodemográficos e assistenciais de saúde

Abstract Objectives: evaluate the association between the maternal near miss rate (TNMM) and sociodemographic and health care factors. Methods: this is an aggregated, cross- sectional epidemiological survey, with regression analysis and spatial analysis, with the units of analysis being the 399 municipalities that make up the four health macro- regions in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Data from the years 2018 to 2021 were obtained through the state maternal near miss report and monitoring system. Results: the state's total TNMM was 6.4 per 1,000 live births, with an increasing trend during the studied period (p<0.001). Sociodemographic and healthcare factors were not associated with TNMM, except for municipalities with a higher degree of urbanization (β adjusted=0.022; CI95%=0.002-0.041) and located in the northern health macro-region (β adjusted=12.352; CI95%= 10.779-15.099), demonstrated by clusters with high and positive associations (high-high). Conclusion: the lack of association with sociodemographic and care factors may be due to their low effect on near miss, or the underreporting of near miss cases in the state. The differences found can be justified by the organization of health services and the intense regionalization of municipalities belonging to the macronorth, which have a better near miss report culture.

Resumo Objetivos: avaliar a associação existente entre a taxa de near miss materno (TNMM) com fatores sociodemográficos e assistenciais de saúde. Métodos: trata-se de uma pesquisa epidemiológica agregada, transversal, com análises de regressão e análise espacial, sendo as unidades de análise os 399 municípios que compõem as quatro macrorregiões de saúde do estado do Paraná, Brasil. Os dados provenientes dos anos de 2018 a 2021 foram obtidos por meio do sistema estadual de notificação e monitoramento do near miss materno. Resultados: a TNMM total do estado foi de 6,4 por 1.000 nascidos-vivos, com tendência de aumento no período estudado (p<0,001). Fatores sociodemográficos e assistenciais não se associaram com a TNMM, exceto municípios com maior grau de urbanização (β ajustado=0,022; IC95%= 0,002-0,041) e localizados na macrorregião norte de saúde (β ajustado=12,352; IC95%= 10,779; 15,099), demonstrado por clusters com associações altas e positivas (high- high). Conclusão: a ausência de associação com os fatores sociodemográficos e assistenciais podem decorrer do baixo efeito dos mesmos sobre o near miss, ou à subnotificação de casos de near miss materno no estado. As diferenças encontradas podem ser justificadas pela organização dos serviços de saúde e intensa regionalização dos municípios pertencentes à macronorte, os quais apresentam melhor cultura de notificação de near miss.

Abstract Objective to grasp nurses' perceptions and experiences about palliative care in neonatology. Method qualitative research, with palliative care as its conceptual basis, carried out with nurses working in Neonatal Intensive Care Units of three hospitals located in a municipality in the northern region of Paraná. Data were collected from November 2019 to January 2020, analyzed using the Discourse of the Collective Subject methodological framework. Results twenty nurses participated, most of them with less than 5 years of experience. Three topics reflect nurses' perceptions and experiences: 1) Palliative care: from training to professional experience; 2) Meaning palliative care in neonatology; 3) Eligibility for neonatal palliative care. Conclusion and implications for practice nurses report gaps in their training for assisting newborns in palliative care; however, many presented an understanding of the meaning of palliative care with a focus on quality of life of babies affected by an incurable situation or illness, including the family. These aspects point to the need for training and health education focused on this topic as well as the implementation of palliative care in the neonatology service.

Effectiveness of neurolysis as a treatment for complications of leprosy neuritis: a systematic review.

BACKGROUND: Complications of leprosy neuritis are considered serious and apparent, with the potential to disable and/or limit individuals. These complications affect not only a patient's physical functioning, but also their family and social lives, while directly impacting the ability to work and/or maintain financial independence, subsequently interfering with their overall quality of life. The present review, therefore, aimed to analyze the effectiveness of neurolysis as an alternative treatment for the complications associated with leprosy neuritis. METHODS: The present review was performed based on the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, in an effort to answer the following research question: what is the effectiveness of neurolysis as a treatment for leprosy neuritis complications? This research question was defined using the patient-intervention-outcome (PIO) framework, where leprosy represents 'P', neurolysis for 'I', and neuropathic pain/motor function/sensorial function/physical disability/quality of life for 'O'. Randomized and non-randomized clinical trials and prospective observational cohort studies were included in the present review, with no time or date restrictions. RESULTS: The present review included 1 randomized clinical trial and 10 prospective studies, published between 1976 and 2020. All of the outcomes showed improvement, with relief from neuropathic pain being the primary finding. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence obtained in the present review suggested that neurolysis is an effective alternative for the treatment of physical disabilities, the recovery of sensory and motor function, the restoration of quality of life, and neuropathic pain relief.

Perfil clínico-epidemiológico das queimaduras em crianças hospitalizadas em centro especializado / Clinical-epidemiological profile of burns in children hospitalized in a specialized center

OBJETIVO: Analisar o perfil clínico-epidemiológico das queimaduras em menores de 12 anos. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo do tipo quantitativo retrospectivo, entre 2013 e 2018, utilizando o banco de dados do projeto "Adaptação Cultural e validação do Brisbane Burn Scar (BBSIP) para o uso no Brasil", realizado em Centro de Tratamento de Queimados (CTQ) de hospital universitário público, região norte do Paraná. As variáveis categóricas foram analisadas em forma de frequência simples e relativa e, para as contínuas, aplicaram-se as medidas de tendência central e dispersão (média, mediana e desvio padrão). RESULTADOS: Das 219 crianças, 142 eram do sexo masculino (64,8%) e, destas, 74 (52,1%) de 0 a 3 anos de idade. A queimadura de 3º grau foi a de maior ocorrência, sendo 66,4% entre meninos. A média da superfície corporal queimada foi de 10,8%. Quanto à região corporal afetada, a queimadura em dois ou mais segmentos corporais foi a mais frequente, predominante por escaldadura em ambos os sexos, tendo como agente causador o líquido aquecido. Em relação ao local do acidente, 97,2% ocorreu no ambiente doméstico. A média de tempo de internação foi 13,4 dias. Evoluíram com infecções relacionadas à assistência à saúde 23,7% e a alta foi o principal desfecho. CONCLUSÕES: Menores de 3 anos foram mais suscetíveis às lesões por queimaduras, predominantemente em ambiente doméstico.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical-epidemiological profile of burns in children under 12 years. METHODS: This is a quantitative retrospective study, between 2013 and 2018, using the database of the project "Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Brisbane Burn Scar (BBSIP) for use in Brazil", carried out at the Center Treatment of Burns (CTQ) of the Public University Hospital, northern region of Paraná. Categorical variables were analyzed in the form of simple and relative frequency, and for continuous variables, measures of central tendency and dispersion (mean, median and standard deviation) were applied. RESULTS: Of the 219 children, 142 were male (64.8%) and of these, 74 (52.1%) were between 0 and 3 years old. Third-degree burns were the most frequent, being 66.4% among boys. The average of the burned body surface was 10.8%. As for the affected body region, burns in two or more body segments were the most frequent, predominantly due to scalding in both sexes, with heated liquid as the causative agent. Regarding the location of the accident, 97.2% occurred in the domestic environment. The average length of stay was 13.4 days. 23.7% evolved with healthcare-related infections and discharge was the main outcome. CONCLUSIONS: Children under 3 years of age are more susceptible to burn injuries, predominantly in the home environment.
