Quality of life at work for health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the quality of life at work of health professionals in direct and indirect care of COVID-19 cases. METHODS: this was a cross-sectional study with 156 health professionals from a referral hospital. The relationship between sociodemographic and work-related variables and perceived stress and domains of the Quality of Life at Work Scale was investigated using inferential statistics and regression. RESULTS: Satisfaction with Compassion was moderate (mean: 38.2), with low perception of stress, Burnout and Secondary Traumatic Stress (means: 18.8, 21.6 and 19.1). There were associations between: education, salary, multiple jobs and direct care with Compassion Satisfaction; low income, being a nurse and working overtime with Burnout; and working more than 12 hours, underlying disease and hospitalization for COVID-19 with Secondary Traumatic Stress. CONCLUSION: quality of life at work was satisfactory, despite the presence of Burnout and Secondary Traumatic Stress.

Pain management in indigenous and tribal peoples: a scoping review protocol.

INTRODUCTION: Effective and culturally safe pain management can facilitate analgesia and improve the quality of life. Individualised, multimodal and multidisciplinary approaches are highly recommended. There exist gaps in the knowledge on pain management, in terms of the assessment and/or treatment, in indigenous peoples and the currently available information is scattered in the literature. A scoping review will provide an overview or evidence map on the variety of approaches used in different cultures, in different parts of the world. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The search strategy comprises three stages. The first stage identified the MeSH terms and keywords in PubMed. The second stage will consist of a search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, CINAHL, Web of Science, APA PsycNet and Scopus, followed by a search in Google and Google Scholar, GreyGuide, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, Theses Canada Portal (Library and Archives Canada), TROVE (National Library of Australia), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Bibliography, and Cybertesis. The papers will be screened, selected and extracted independently by two researchers. Descriptive data analysis will be performed, and the results will be presented using a narrative summary, graphs, tables and figures. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This review does not require ethical approval, as data from the literature available in databases will be collected and analysed. The protocol was registered at the Open Science Framework. The data on pain assessment and treatment in indigenous peoples will be presented through a narrative summary, figures, charts and tables. Results will be submitted to an open-access journal for publication and will be disseminated through scientific events, scientific meetings, public events and conversation circles with indigenous peoples.

Health literacy of people with spinal cord injury: a systematic review.

STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the evidence on health literacy (HL) of people diagnosed with spinal cord injury (SCI). METHODS: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Embase databases were used to identify studies published from 1974 to 2021. Two reviewers independently carried out the study selection process and assessed the methodological quality of the studies. The risk of bias in the studies was classified according to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). RESULTS: In total, 1398 studies were identified from the initial search, and 11 were selected for reading thoroughly. After screening, five studies were included. All had a cross-sectional design, and most scientific production was from the United States. In the studies, people with SCI received assistance in rehabilitation services. The results were heterogeneous compared to the HL: reasonable HL; suitable HL; Inadequate HL. Better HL was identified in individuals from the white population compared to the black population with SCI. CONCLUSION: Studies on HL in the SCI population are limited. Guidance and personalized education provided in rehabilitation programs seem to have an influence on HL levels in this population. More research is needed to broaden the understanding of HL in the rehabilitation process of people diagnosed with SCI.

Risk perception and vulnerabilities for HIV/AIDS among transgender women in Brazil: mixed methods approach.

Transgender women (TW) are a key population in the dynamics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) dissemination, although little is known about their perceptions of HIV risk. In this embedded, nested, mixed-methods study, we assessed factors associated with condomless sexual intercourse among TW and explored their risk perceptions and vulnerabilities regarding HIV exposure. The first phase involved a cross-sectional study, followed by qualitative interviews. Condomless sexual intercourse during their last sexual encounter was reported by 37.3% of participants, and 16.1% previously tested positive for HIV. Age older than 21 years, single status, and being a sex worker were protective factors for condomless intercourse. Otherwise, TW who reported a past sexual partner with a known sexually transmitted infection and those aware of post-exposure prophylaxis had a greater risk of condomless sexual intercourse (p < 0.05) during their most recent encounter. The qualitative interviews revealed that, despite TW being aware of their risk of contracting HIV, their vulnerabilities overlapped their risk perception, making them trivialize or ignore the risk. This study will help to understand the HIV dynamics among TW and contribute to further health research, education, policymaking, and planning associated with specific health strategies to promote the sexual health of TW.

"A lack of information keeps us from medicine, well-being, harmony ": a mixed method study with plaintiffs requesting medicines in administrative cases. / "A falta de informação nos afasta do remédio, do bem-estar, da harmonia...": estudo de método misto com demandantes de medicamentos pela via administrativa.

The need to request public health managers to ensure the right of access to medicines characterizes an administrative case and the method to do so is called the administrative route. This mixed method study aimed to analyze the perceptions of plaintiffs requesting medications by the administrative route about barriers to access medicines in the Brazilian public health sector. Data were gathered through focus groups and questionnaires. The results point to the interdependence of pharmaceutical services with the interfacing areas to ensure access. The barriers related to individuals reflect the commitment to develop citizenship, justifying the cost of the medicine to motivate the demand. Barriers to service provision include irregular availability of medicines, insufficient resources, and unsatisfactory quality of services. The difficulty in obtaining medical consultations and prescriptions originating in the public sector are barriers to the health sector. The barriers above the health sector are compliance with administrative procedures, corruption, and clientelism. The administrative route intensifies inequities in access to healthcare in Brazil.

A necessidade de recorrer ao gestor público de saúde para efetivar o direito ao acesso a medicamentos caracteriza a via administrativa. O estudo analisou as percepções dos usuários que acionaram a via administrativa sobre as barreiras para o acesso a medicamentos no setor público de saúde de uma capital brasileira. Foi realizado estudo de método misto com grupo focal, questionário com demandantes e descrição dos medicamentos demandados pela via administrativa. Os resultados apontam a interdependência da assistência farmacêutica com as áreas de interfaceamento para a garantia do acesso. As barreiras relativas aos indivíduos refletem o comprometimento do desenvolvimento da cidadania, justificando o custo do medicamento motivar a demanda. As barreiras à prestação dos serviços contemplam disponibilidade irregular dos medicamentos, insuficiência de recursos e qualidade insatisfatória dos serviços. A dificuldade para conseguir consultas médicas e a exigência da prescrição originada no setor público são barreiras ao setor saúde. As barreiras acima do setor saúde são cumprimento dos procedimentos administrativos, corrupção e clientelismo. A via administrativa intensifica as iniquidades no acesso à saúde no Brasil.

Trends in pediatric hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive respiratory diseases in Brazil.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the trend in hospitalization rates for ambulatory care sensitive respiratory diseases (ACSRD) of children under five years of age in Brazil. DESIGN: Time series study of hospitalization rates using secondary information from the Hospital Information System of the Brazil's Unified Health System. SAMPLE: Hospitalizations of children under five years of age living in Brazilian regions. Hospitalizations were separated according to cause: nose and throat infections, asthma, bacterial pneumonias, and lung diseases. MEASUREMENTS: Rates were calculated for total hospitalizations for ACSRD, and by cause, age group, and region. Trends were analyzed by using means of simple linear regression and were classified into stationary (p ≥ .05), ascending (ß positive and p < .05) or declining (ß negative and p < .05) trends. RESULTS: All regions showed stationary trends in total hospitalization rates for ACSRDs, except in the Southeast, where trends were ascending. Asthma was the only cause that showed a declining trend. Bacterial pneumonias showed stationary trends, while lung diseases and nose and throat infections had predominantly ascending trends. CONCLUSION: Brazil's hospitalization rates for ACSRDs are high. Investigations into primary health care organization and work processes, as well as socioeconomic, cultural, and geographical factors are necessary.

Las condiciones de alfabetización en salud fueron influenciadas de forma negativa por no tener el hábito de leer, por la escolaridad del cuidador y de sus padres, por el hecho de ser cuidador informal y por los ingresos y tiempo cuidando a los pacientes. Las posibilidades se relacionaron con el acceso a quien entiende y apoya al cuidador, con la comprensión de la información sobre salud y saber qué hacer y entender lo que los profesionales de la salud les piden. Conclusión Es necesario incorporar los principios de la alfabetización en salud en la cotidianidad de los cuidadores, profesionales y administradores para obtener mejores resultados y tomar mejores decisiones respecto a la salud en el contexto de la atención domiciliaria.

Abstract Objective To analyze the health literacy conditions of caregivers of Brazilian Home Care Program users. Methods Cross-sectional study conducted with 90 caregivers of the Brazilian Home Care Program in a municipality in central Brazil. Data collection was performed at users' homes using a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Brazilian version of the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ-Br). Descriptive statistics were used for sociodemographic variables, the mean scores of the HLQ scales and non-parametric tests for measures of association of health literacy. Results Most respondents were women (90.0%), with a partner (58.9%), lived in the same location as the user (75.6%), had a personal income of up to one minimum wage (72.2%), did not have the habit of reading (57.8%), studied nine years or more (53.3%), were informal caregivers (91.1%) and had parents who did not study (42.2%). Health literacy limitations were identified in the scales "Actively managing my health" and "Navigating the healthcare system". Health literacy conditions were negatively influenced by the infrequent reading habit; schooling of caregivers and their parents; the fact of being an informal caregiver; by the low income and less time as a caregiver. The strengths of caregivers were related to the access to those who understand and support the caregiver; understanding health information and knowing what to do, and understanding health professionals' requests. Conclusion It is necessary to incorporate the principles of health literacy in the routine of caregivers, professionals and managers for better health outcomes and decisions in the home care context.

METHOD: a scoping review conducted under the Joanna Briggs Institute guidance. Twenty-three studies were analyzed, with different methodological designs, on the strategies used in case management involving adult and elderly populations in emergency services. RESULTS: the main strategies employed were patient risk stratification screening/identification, care management plan, coordination of care through multidisciplinary activities, support for the transition process, continuous patient monitoring, and follow-up. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: these strategies used structured approaches to care in emergency services to promote support for self-management and effective transitional care for people with complex needs, ensuring comprehensiveness, coordination, and continuity of care.

Epidemiological characteristics and strategies for the prevention of diarrheal disease in indigenous children: A scoping review.

AIM: The aim of the present scoping review was to map the scientific evidence about diarrheal disease in indigenous children and the strategies that can be used to prevent it. METHODS: The subject headings were indigenous population; child; diarrhea; dysentery; epidemiology; and prevention, primary; also the following keywords characteristic, epidemiologic study; and children. The databases consulted were Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, MEDLINE via the US National Library of Medicine/National Institutes of Health, and Web of Science. Initially, 268 studies were identified, and after being screened using the eligibility criteria, six were selected. Finally, via reference tracking, five more were identified. The final sample was made up of eleven articles. RESULTS: The results confirmed higher mortality rates due to diarrheal disease among indigenous children who are socially disadvantaged and living in poor hygienic and basic sanitation conditions. Among the primary prevention strategies are basic sanitation, health education better hygiene habits, animal control, breastfeeding, supplementing the diet with zinc, vitamins, and the rotavirus vaccine. The preventive strategies included the use of oral rehydration solutions, adequate nutrition, prescribed antimicrobials, and intravenous fluid replacement with glycaemic and electrolyte correction in severe cases. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, public policies regarding the indigenous population and cross-cultural care should be strengthened. The present study confirmed that, at a global level, there is a lack of publications studying this issue.

Infection control and patient safety measures addressed in nursing pedagogical projects.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize teaching about patient safety and standard precautionary measures for infection prevention and control in undergraduate nursing courses. METHOD: A descriptive documentary analysis study carried out in undergraduate courses, with a concept equal to or greater than three in the National Student Performance Exam and in the Preliminary Course Concept, located in the state of Goiás, Brazil. RESULTS: Six education institutions participated, with the majority being private with curricular structure by discipline. Six pedagogical projects and 273 subject plans were analyzed. The most discussed topics for patient safety development were human factors related to communication, interpersonal relationships, and principles and techniques. Thirty-nine (39) disciplines contemplated teaching infection prevention and control measures, and the most approached topics were personal protective equipment and hand hygiene. CONCLUSION: Teaching about patient safety presented strong gaps in the six evaluated courses. There is fragility in teaching infection prevention and control measures. The data indicate the need to review the Course Pedagogical Projects in order to incorporate necessary educational demands for training professionals so that they develop safe and quality care.

The most discussed topics for patient safety development were human factors related to communication, interpersonal relationships, and principles and techniques. Thirty-nine (39) disciplines contemplated teaching infection prevention and control measures, and the most approached topics were personal protective equipment and hand hygiene. Conclusion: Teaching about patient safety presented strong gaps in the six evaluated courses. There is fragility in teaching infection prevention and control measures. The data indicate the need to review the Course Pedagogical Projects in order to incorporate necessary educational demands for training professionals so that they develop safe and quality care.

Reflections on Nursing Educational Advancement Within Diverse and Evolving National Cultural Contexts.

As the development of nursing education becomes increasingly internationalized, it is tempting to focus on universal aspects of the discipline rather than explicitly emphasizing the distinct national cultures and contexts within which our profession and its educational styles and approaches have evolved. Capitalizing on an opportunity for comparative critical reflection on the relevant political, economic and social histories that have underpinned the development of nursing education in China, Brazil and Canada - three countries united by shared values about equity and access to health services - we sought to deconstruct the manner in which these forces have shaped the national differences in the way we conceptualize and deliver nursing education. On this basis, we examined the implications for the advancement of nursing education within each national context, recognizing the fundamental relevance of indepth critical reflection for optimizing nursing's advocacy capacity within each of our national health care and policy systems.
