[Caring for people with psychoactive substance dependence: nursing student perceptions]. / Cuidar de dependentes de substâncias psicoativas: percepçães dos estudantes de enfermagem.

This was a qualitative exploratory study aiming to better understand the perceptions of student nurses regarding care of the chemically dependent. Semistructured interviews were conducted between 2007 and 2009 with 17 nursing students from a public university in the city of São Paulo who were training in specialized services for abusers of alcohol and drugs. The content analysis technique was used, and the discourse evaluation revealed that care for the chemically dependent was considered interesting but difficult and exhausting. A positive outcome noted by the students was that the discussion of theory and experience enabled them to change their perceptions of the issue from a moral model base to a more technical, scientific and ethical one. It was concluded that this teaching strategy can contribute to changing the perceptions of nurses toward these patients.

Prevalence and correlates of passive and active suicidal ideation among students entering graduate courses. / Prevalencia y correlatos de ideación suicida pasiva y activa en ingresantes de posgrado.

OBJECTIVE: to identify the prevalence and factors associated with passive and active suicidal ideation throughout life among students entering graduate courses. METHOD: an analytical and cross-sectional study with a sample comprised of 321 students entering graduate courses. Multiple descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed. RESULTS: the multivariate analyses indicated that passive and active suicidal ideation were similarly more prevalent among female students belonging to minority sexual orientations who engaged in daily physical activity ≤ 30 minutes/day and were victims of psychological violence in the past 12 months. Alcohol abuse, family relationships not impaired due to the demands imposed by stricto sensu graduate studies and low self-esteem were only associated with passive suicidal ideation. In turn, recent marijuana use in the last 30 days, poor interpersonal relationships with academic peers, and engagement in professional activities concomitantly with the demands imposed by graduate studies were only associated with active suicidal ideation. CONCLUSION: high prevalence of lifetime passive and active suicidal ideation was identified among graduate students, and similarities and differences were verified between some associated factors for both outcomes.

Work and Mental Distress among Nurses in the Amazon Region of Brazil during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between psychopathological symptoms and the social, clinical, and occupational profile of nurses in the Amazon region of Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional online study was conducted in 2020 with 261 nurses. The Symptom Assessment Scale-40 was utilized. RESULTS: The presence of pre-existing conditions before the pandemic was associated with psychotism (p=0.044). Experiencing constraints and/or violence at work during the pandemic was associated with somatization (p=0.025), and working hours were associated with anxiety (p=0.025). Nurses predominantly exhibited symptoms related to fear (33.7%), tension (34.5%), and a sense that something is wrong in the mind (22.6%). CONCLUSIONS: A significant association was observed between working hours and anxiety symptoms, the experience of constraints and/or violence at work during the COVID-19 pandemic and somatization symptoms, as well as between pre-existing conditions and psychotism symptoms related to COVID-19.

COVID-19 and the Mental Health of Nursing Professionals in Brazil: Associations between Social and Clinical Contexts and Psychopathological Symptoms.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an important negative psychological impact on people worldwide, especially nursing professionals who seem to be more vulnerable to the development of psychopathological symptoms. Objective: To analyze relationships between variables from the social and clinical contexts with psychopathological symptoms in nursing professionals from different geographic regions of Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out with 1737 nursing professionals from the five regions of Brazil. Data collection was carried out online with a questionnaire made available via Google Forms containing sociodemographic, occupational, and clinical questions, and the Symptom Assessment Scale-40-R, for the assessment of psychopathological symptoms. Differences between mean scores for the severity of psychopathological symptoms were assessed using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskall-Wallis tests. Results: There was a significant difference in the psychoticism domain scores according to Brazilian geographic region, with greater severity among professionals from the North and Northeast regions when compared with those from the South region. Social context variables (gender, age group, and marital status) and clinical variables (psychological and psychiatric follow-up; psychological or emotional support by the institution; family member, friend, neighbor, or co-worker with COVID-19, and death among them; use of psychiatric medication without a medical prescription; and taking steps to take care of their mental health) were significantly related to psychopathological symptoms. Conclusions: The results point to the importance of mental health promotion strategies for professionals through psychological or emotional support, as evidence indicates that this support can be a predictor of reduced psychological distress.

Social determinants of health that permeate the mental suffering of children on the french-brazilian border.

OBJECTIVES: to understand the determinants involved in the mental suffering of schoolchildren on the French-Brazilian border. METHODS: a qualitative study was conducted with children from 6 to 12 years of age from four State schools in the municipality of Oiapoque, located on the French-Brazilian border. The data were obtained through interviews, analyzed by the IRAMUTEQ software, and interpreted in the light of the Dahlgren and Whitehead's social determinants of health model. RESULTS: data indicate that the mental suffering experienced by children, especially characterized by anxious symptoms, such as concern of becoming fat and worries, were permeated by social situations that children went through daily, such as family abandonment, domestic violence, and bullying. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: social determinants can be predictors of mental suffering in children, especially in environments of extreme vulnerability, such as the border, in a context of financial difficulties, domestic violence, and absence of parenting.

REAC neurobiological treatments in acute post-traumatic knee medial collateral ligament lesion.

OBJECTIVE: Physical traumas can lead to unconscious neuropsychical alterations, which can compromise rehabilitation result and functional recovery. Aim of this interventional study is to verify if neurobiological Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyer (REAC) treatments Neuro Postural Optimization (NPO) and Tissue Optimization (TO) are able respectively to improve neuro psychomotor strategies and facilitate recovery process in medial collateral ligaments (MCL) lesions of the knee. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 45 healthy subjects, 32 males and 13 females, with knee MCL lesion, diagnosed with MRI or ultrasound. Within 4 days after the trauma, subjects were clinically evaluated (T0), both through medical and subjective assessments. Clinical evaluation was repeated after the REAC NPO treatment (T1) and at the end of 18 REAC TO treatments (T2) and at the 30 days follow-up (T3). RESULTS: In comparison with the results commonly found in clinical practice, all REAC treated patients recovered much faster. They reported functional recovery, pain relief and joint stability, regardless of the severity of the lesion. CONCLUSION: The combined use of REAC NPO and TO can envisage a new rehabilitative approach, which aims not only at recovering the outcomes of the physical trauma, but also at improving the neuropsychical state that can condition the rehabilitation result.

Moral Distress of Nursing Professionals of a Psychosocial Care Center. / Sofrimento moral de profissionais de enfermagem em um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial.

Moral Distress (MD) is experienced by individuals from the contradiction existing between their actions and convictions. This study aimed to analyze the moral distress experienced by nursing professionals working at the CAPS and to describe and identify the feelings resulting from MD and coping mechanisms. This is a qualitative research that adopted the Bardin Content Analysis method. Seven Nursing professionals of both CAPS shifts participated in the research. Four categories emerged from the thematic analysis of the statements of these professionals, as follows: Environment as a source of moral distress; Shortage of funding and improvisations; Feelings that emerged from the experiences of Moral Distress and Coping Mechanisms of professionals. In this study, we observed that Macapá's Gentileza CAPS professionals experience MD in their daily life, associated with structural environment issues and insufficient (human and material) resources that resulted in feelings of helplessness, discouragement, demotivation, and struggle. This MD allowed these professionals to build coping mechanisms against moral distress, such as dialogue and sharing anguish with the team.

O sofrimento moral (SM) é vivenciado por uma pessoa e decorrente da contradição existente entre suas ações e convicções. O objetivo foi analisar o sofrimento moral vivenciado pelos profissionais de enfermagem que atuam no CAPS, bem como descrever e identificar os sentimentos decorrentes do SM e mecanismos de enfrentamento. Trata-se de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, na qual foi utilizado o método de Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin. Participaram da pesquisa sete profissionais de ambos os turnos de funcionamento do CAPS. Na análise temática de conteúdo das falas desses profissionais, emergiram quatro categorias: Ambiente, como fonte de sofrimento moral; Escassez de financiamento e improvisos; Sentimentos que emergiram das vivências de Sofrimento Moral; e Mecanismos de Enfrentamento dos profissionais. Neste estudo observou-se que os profissionais do CAPS Gentileza de Macapá vivenciam o SM em seu cotidiano, associado às questões do ambiente estrutural e insuficiência de recursos (humanos e materiais), que resultaram em sentimentos de impotência, desânimo, desmotivação e luta. Esse SM fez com que os profissionais pudessem construir mecanismos de enfrentamento, dentre eles o diálogo e o compartilhamento das angústias com a equipe.

Radio electric asymmetric conveyer neuromodulation in depression, anxiety, and stress.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of specific neuromodulation treatments performed with radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) technology in the treatment of the symptomatic triad depression, anxiety, and stress by the use of a specific psychometric test such as the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-42 items (DASS-42) version, which assesses simultaneously the severity of expression of this triad. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The design of this study was planned to compare two populations that performed DASS-42 test twice within a similar period of time. The first population performed the first DASS test before the treatment and the second test about 3 months later, at the end of two specific REAC neuromodulation treatments, neuropostural optimization (NPO) and neuropsychophysical optimization (NPPO), that have previously shown an efficacy in the treatment of depression, anxiety and stress. The second population (untreated), used as the randomized control group, consisted of a similar group by gender and age, who performed the DASS-42 test in an online platform twice, with an interval of about 3 months between the first and second tests, similar to the interval between the two tests in the treated group. RESULTS: The comparison between the treated group and the control group points out the REAC treatment efficacy in improving the quality of life. At the second DASS-42 test, self-administered about 3 months after the treatments, treated patients were positioned on average values of much milder severity in all the three clusters, depression, anxiety, and stress, while in untreated patients there was no significant difference between the mean values of the first and second DASS tests. CONCLUSION: The results obtained in this study, evaluated with the DASS-42 test, confirm that REAC-NPO and REAC-NPPO neuromodulation treatments can be useful tools for the clinical treatment of depression, anxiety, and stress, as already proven by previous results evaluated with different psychometric tests.

Social determinants of health that permeate the mental suffering of children on the french-brazilian border / Determinantes sociales de la salud que permiten el sufrimiento mental de los niños en la frontera franco-brasileña / Determinantes sociais de saúde que permeiam o sofrimento mental de crianças na fronteira franco-brasileira

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand the determinants involved in the mental suffering of schoolchildren on the French-Brazilian border. Methods: a qualitative study was conducted with children from 6 to 12 years of age from four State schools in the municipality of Oiapoque, located on the French-Brazilian border. The data were obtained through interviews, analyzed by the IRAMUTEQ software, and interpreted in the light of the Dahlgren and Whitehead's social determinants of health model. Results: data indicate that the mental suffering experienced by children, especially characterized by anxious symptoms, such as concern of becoming fat and worries, were permeated by social situations that children went through daily, such as family abandonment, domestic violence, and bullying. Final Considerations: social determinants can be predictors of mental suffering in children, especially in environments of extreme vulnerability, such as the border, in a context of financial difficulties, domestic violence, and absence of parenting.

RESUMEN Objetivos: comprender los determinantes involucrados en el sufrimiento mental de los escolares de la frontera franco-brasileña. Métodos: estudio cualitativo realizado con niños de 6 a 12 años de cuatro escuelas públicas del municipio de Oiapoque, ubicadas en la frontera franco-brasileña. Los datos fueron obtenidos a través de entrevistas, analizados por el software IRAMUTEQ e interpretados a la luz del modelo de determinantes sociales de la salud de Dahlgren y Whitehead. Resultados: los datos muestran que el sufrimiento mental experimentado por los niños, especialmente caracterizado por síntomas ansiosos, como el miedo a engordar y la preocupación, estuvo permeado por situaciones sociales por las que atravesaron los niños en su vida diaria, como el abandono familiar, la violencia doméstica y intimidación. Consideraciones Finales: los determinantes sociales pueden ser predictores de sufrimiento mental en los niños, especialmente en entornos de extrema vulnerabilidad, como el de frontera, en un contexto de dificultades económicas, violencia doméstica y ausencia de paternidad.

RESUMO Objetivos: compreender os determinantes envolvidos no sofrimento mental de crianças escolares na fronteira franco-brasileira. Métodos: estudo qualitativo realizado com crianças de 6 a 12 anos, de quatro escolas estaduais do município de Oiapoque, localizadas na fronteira franco-brasileira. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas, analisados pelo software IRAMUTEQ e interpretados à luz do modelo de determinantes sociais da saúde de Dahlgren e Whitehead. Resultados: os dados apontam que o sofrimento mental vivenciado pelas crianças, especialmente caracterizado por sintomas ansiosos, como medo de ficar gordo e preocupação, eram permeados por situações sociais pelas quais as crianças passavam no dia a dia, como abandono familiar, violência doméstica e bullying. Considerações Finais: os determinantes sociais podem ser preditores do sofrimento mental em crianças, sobretudo em ambientes de extrema vulnerabilidade, como o de fronteira, em que permeiam situações relacionadas a dificuldades financeiras, violência doméstica e ausência de parentalidade.

Centro de Atenção Psicossocial: cotidiano de trabalho e articulação com a rede na pandemia / Psychosocial Care Center: daily work and articulation with the network in the pandemic

Objetivo: analisar o cotidiano do trabalho de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial e sua articulação com a Rede de Aten-ção Psicossocial no contexto da pandemia da COVID-19. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, produzido por meio do diário do pesquisador e entrevistas semiestruturadas com nove profissionais de saúde, submetidas à análise de conteúdo temático-categorial. Resultados: a pandemia revelou falhas na gestão dos serviços, falta de investimentos públicos e o despreparo dos profissionais, intensificando a fragmentação do trabalho, a desarticulação da rede, a desassistência e as práticas manicomiais pré-existentes.

Sofrimento moral de profissionais de enfermagem em um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial / Moral Distress of Nursing Professionals of a Psychosocial Care Center

Resumo O sofrimento moral (SM) é vivenciado por uma pessoa e decorrente da contradição existente entre suas ações e convicções. O objetivo foi analisar o sofrimento moral vivenciado pelos profissionais de enfermagem que atuam no CAPS, bem como descrever e identificar os sentimentos decorrentes do SM e mecanismos de enfrentamento. Trata-se de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, na qual foi utilizado o método de Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin. Participaram da pesquisa sete profissionais de ambos os turnos de funcionamento do CAPS. Na análise temática de conteúdo das falas desses profissionais, emergiram quatro categorias: Ambiente, como fonte de sofrimento moral; Escassez de financiamento e improvisos; Sentimentos que emergiram das vivências de Sofrimento Moral; e Mecanismos de Enfrentamento dos profissionais. Neste estudo observou-se que os profissionais do CAPS Gentileza de Macapá vivenciam o SM em seu cotidiano, associado às questões do ambiente estrutural e insuficiência de recursos (humanos e materiais), que resultaram em sentimentos de impotência, desânimo, desmotivação e luta. Esse SM fez com que os profissionais pudessem construir mecanismos de enfrentamento, dentre eles o diálogo e o compartilhamento das angústias com a equipe.

Abstract Moral Distress (MD) is experienced by individuals from the contradiction existing between their actions and convictions. This study aimed to analyze the moral distress experienced by nursing professionals working at the CAPS and to describe and identify the feelings resulting from MD and coping mechanisms. This is a qualitative research that adopted the Bardin Content Analysis method. Seven Nursing professionals of both CAPS shifts participated in the research. Four categories emerged from the thematic analysis of the statements of these professionals, as follows: Environment as a source of moral distress; Shortage of funding and improvisations; Feelings that emerged from the experiences of Moral Distress and Coping Mechanisms of professionals. In this study, we observed that Macapá's Gentileza CAPS professionals experience MD in their daily life, associated with structural environment issues and insufficient (human and material) resources that resulted in feelings of helplessness, discouragement, demotivation, and struggle. This MD allowed these professionals to build coping mechanisms against moral distress, such as dialogue and sharing anguish with the team.
