Synanthropic triatomines as potential vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi in Central Brazil.

INTRODUCTION: Chagas disease surveillance requires current knowledge on synanthropic triatomines. We analyzed the occurrence and Trypanosoma cruzi infection rates of triatomine bugs in central Brazil, during 2012-2014. METHODS: Triatomines were collected inside or around houses, and T. cruzi infection was determined by optical microscopy and conventional/quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Of the 2706 triatomines collected, Triatoma sordida was the most frequent species in Goiás State, whereas Panstrongylus megistus predominated in the Federal District. Parasites identified were T. cruzi, T. rangeli, and Blastocrithidia sp. CONCLUSIONS: P. megistus and T. sordida sustained the risk of T. cruzi transmission to humans in central Brazil.

Filosofia assistencial de uma maternidade-escola: fatores associados à satisfação das mulheres usuárias / Philosophy of care in a teaching maternity hospital: factors associated to female users satisfaction / La filosofía de atención de una maternidad escuela: fatores asociados con la satisfacción de las mujeres usuarias

Estudo transversal que avaliou a filosofia de uma maternidade, a partir da satisfação das mulheres com o atendimento recebido na admissão obstétrica, no trabalho de parto/parto e no puerpério. Os dados foram coletados com 310 mulheres e analisados pelo teste qui-quadrado, exato de Fisher, Odds Ratio (IC 95 por cento) e regressão logística. A satisfação na admissão esteve estatisticamente associada ao fato dos profissionais e acadêmicos se apresentarem, darem as orientações solicitadas e fornecerem apoio emocional; no trabalho de parto/parto esteve associada com privacidade, apoio emocional e recebimento de informações; e no puerpério, com apoio emocional e recebimento de informações. Chance de insatisfação ocorreu quando a mulher não recebeu apoio emocional na admissão (5,70; IC 95 por cento: 1,88; 17,31) e não obteve informações no trabalho de parto/parto (6,53; IC 95 por cento: 1,97; 21,64). A concretização de uma filosofia assistencial que atenda as necessidades das usuárias contribui para a satisfação com o atendimento, desde a internação até a alta.

This cross-sectional study assessed the philosophy of a maternity based on women users satisfaction factors concerning the services received during their admission, labor/delivery, and puerperium. Data was collected from 310 women and analyzed by chi-square test, Fisher exact test, Odds Ratio (95 percent), and logistic regression. Satisfaction at admission was statistically associated with the fact that professionals and academics introduced themselves, gave the orientation requested, and provided emotional support. In labor/delivery satisfaction was associated with privacy, emotional support, and receiving information. In the postpartum period, satisfaction was associated with emotional support and receiving information. The chance of dissatisfaction occurred when the woman was not emotionally supported at admission (5.70; 95 percent CI: 1.88; 17.31) and didn't obtain information during labor/delivery (6.53; CI 95 percent: 1.97; 21.64). The implementation of a care philosophy that meets user needs contribute to satisfaction with the service provided from admission to discharge.

Es un estudio transversal que evaluó la filosofía de una maternidad, a partir de la satisfación con la atención ricibieda em la admisión, el trabajo de parto y el posparto. La recolección de los datos se hizo con 310 mujeres y se analizaron mediante la prueba de chi-cuadrado, prueba exacta de Fisher, Odds Ratio (IC 95 por ciento) y regresión logística. La satisfacción por la admisión se asoció estatisticamente con el hecho de que los profesionales y académicos estuvieron presentes, dieron las orientaciones solicitadas y el apoyo emocional. En el trabajo de parto y el parto se asoció con la intimidad, apoyo emocional y la información que recibieron, y en el puerperio, con el apoyo emocional y recibir informaciones. La insatisfacción se produjo cuando la mujer no recibió el apoyo emocional al ingreso (5,70, IC 95 por ciento: 1.88; 17.31) y no recibió información sobre el trabajo de parto y el parto (6,53, IC 95 por ciento: 1,97; 21,64). La aplicación de una filosofía de atención que responda a las necesidades de las usuarias contribuye a la satisfacción con los servicios, desde la hospitalización hasta el alta.
