A critical perspective on institutional violence against hospitalized children: Testimonies by health professionals and family members.

The purpose of this study is to understand institutional violence (IV) in the relationships between health professionals, hospitalized children, and family members. This is a qualitative study developed at the pediatric inpatient unit of a university hospital in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The research participants consisted of 39 health professionals who specialized in pediatrics and 10 family members of hospitalized children. Semi-structured interviews were the method used for data collection. Using discourse analysis as a basis and taking a Foucauldian perspective, the researchers observed that the expressions of IV could be traced to abusive power relations within the system. We found four discursive forms within the data set: communication problems as IV, violence through inattention and neglect, violence as an action and consequent materialization on the body, and psychological violence as a submission mechanism. Based on these findings, we argue that professionals, managers, the scientific community, and users might be able to better guarantee the safety of children by recognizing IV and effectively intervening in it.

A policy analysis of teamwork as a proposal for healthcare humanization: implications for nursing.

AIM: To analyse the implications of the political devices of the Brazilian National Humanization Policy, Singular Therapeutic Project and Reference Team and Matrix Support, for nursing as a professional discipline. BACKGROUND: The Brazilian Unified Health System, SUS-Brazil, has as its principles regarding health care: universal access at all levels of care; equality and non-discrimination; integrality; community participation; and political and administrative decentralization, regionalization, and hierarchization. The National Humanization Policy is a public health policy that serves as the methodological apparatus for the application of the SUS-Brazil principles. Reference Teams refers to inter- and transdisciplinary/professional teams. These team approaches are associated with increased quality of care. METHODS: Qualitative lexical content policy analysis of the official documents for the Brazilian National Humanization Policy. FINDINGS: The Reference Team model that is used to carry out Singular Therapeutic Projects leads to discussion of disciplinary boundaries in the context of health care. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND HEALTH POLICY: The Brazilian National Humanization Policy demands inclusion of various kinds of knowledge and networking. Research is needed to elucidate the nature of nursing care and its distinctive character in relation to the work objectives of other professional disciplines.

Psychometric properties analysis of helping relationships skills inventory for Portuguese nurses and doctors.

This paper answered some authors' requests to analyze the Helping Relationships Skills Inventory psychometric properties, a four dimensions measure. At this level, the study contributed to accessing the first reliable and valid instrument headed to Portuguese nurses and doctors. Methods: An online survey with Portuguese nurses and doctors (n = 262) was managed to assess the psychometrics properties analysis of the Helping Relationships Skills Inventory. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, the average variance extracted (AVE), the heterotrait-monotrait ratio of correlations (HTMT), Cronbach's Alpha, and McDonald's Omega were computed. Results: The four-factor of the original Helping Relationships Skills Inventory was only supported by Exploratory Factor Analysis, with good internal consistency. Our study accepted this correlational structure hypothesis, which demonstrated acceptable to good sensitivity, convergent validity (AVE: 0.84-0.67), and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha: 0.92-0.88; McDonald'Omega: 0.93-0.79). Also stays verified discriminant validity for the majority of the factors with some reserves between Generics and Emphatics dimensions (HTMT: 0.90), revealing high commonality among them (r = 0.84; p < .001) Conclusions: The findings support the sensitivity, construct validity, and reliability of the Helping Relationships Skills Inventory among Portuguese nurses and doctors. However, will be useful to associate qualitative methodologies to explore the phenomenon better.

Humanized oncology nursing care in a person with gastric cancer: A case report.

Cancer impacts the person's physical health, psychosocial and spiritual wellbeing. The humanization of care is an essential element to achieve integral wellbeing of the individual. The aim of this article is to present a clinical case, using the nursing process with the NANDA, NOC and NIC taxonomies, and based on the principles of Watson's theory of humanized care. The participant is a 45-year-old woman with gastric cancer in palliative stage. The assessment was performed using Gordon's functional patterns and the Watson Caritas Patient Score scale to evaluate the care received previously in the health system. Eight nursing diagnoses were identified, prioritizing 3 diagnoses using the clinical reasoning web (decisional conflict, anxiety, and ineffective self-management of health). Expected outcomes and nursing interventions were planned and implemented through moments of care using health education through tele-nursing and the intentional use of Caritas processes of care in the transpersonal relationship. The results were evaluated with the scales of the indicators and anxiety was also evaluated with the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Health education in oncology nursing contributed to improve informed decision making, reducing anxiety and providing emotional support to facilitate self-management of health. The participant perceived as humanized care throughout the sessions, reflected in the final evaluation with the Watson Caritas Patient Score scale.

Factors associated with puerperal women's perception of the support received from their companions during labor and delivery.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the current study was to associate sociodemographic characteristics and satisfaction with the support received from companions during labor and delivery. METHOD: An analytical cross-sectional study was performed in a maternity hospital in Fortaleza, Brazil, from March to August 2019, with 320 postpartum women. A form containing sociodemographic and obstetric questions, companion-related information, type of support provided, and the Birth Companion Support Questionnaire (BCSQ) were used to assess the frequency of social support behaviors. χ2 and Fisher exact tests were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS: Nonpharmacological methods were associated with an unsatisfactory perception of support, but the emotional support provided by companions was positively associated with women's satisfaction. CONCLUSION: The findings of the current study concerning women's perceptions of the support received from their companions may allow improvements in the delivery of care to women in labor toward the humanization of obstetric practices.

[Humanized prenatal care in Latin America: a stat of the art]. / Atención prenatal humanizada en américa latina: un estado del arte.

Objetive: To identify contributions of the scientific literature produced in the 2009-2019 period in Latin America on humanized prenatal care. Data sources:Articles produced in Latin America that addressed humanized prenatal care, published between 2009 and 2019 in indexed journals (reported in MIAR) and located in recognized databases, were selected. Study selection: A selection based on the source, quality and relevance of the studies was taken into account, excluding gray literature. After applying filters, 26 articles were obtained. Data extraction: The data was recorded, subsequently using an analytical matrix for its coding. Data: the studies, especially from Colombia and Brazil, were largely qualitative. It is established that the quality of care is reflected in the accessibility and satisfaction of the users with the services. Humanized prenatal care affects maternal-perinatal health. The recognition of the particular needs of pregnant women is relevant. The studies recommend qualifying health personnel to strengthen humanized prenatal care, assuming pregnant women as protagonists of the process, dispelling their doubts and concerns, and providing evidence on the relationship humanized prenatal care / reduction of maternal morbidity and mortality. Conclusions: The studies carried out recognize the pregnant woman as the protagonist and her needs as the starting point for humanized prenatal care, conceived as an essential reference for the quality of services with a positive impact on the satisfaction of pregnant women and maternal outcomes. Training of health personnel is required.

Satisfaction of Patients Undergoing Hand Surgery.

Objective To assess the satisfaction of patients undergoing hand surgery in relation to their hospitalization, their feelings, and the consequences resulting from the surgical procedure as well as to evaluate their opinion and feelings in relation to the surgical procedure and to detect possible weaknesses in the health care of patients undergoing hand surgery. Method Cross-sectional observational clinical study, with a quali-quantitative focus, carried out in an outpatient clinic of a teaching hospital specialized in hand care, with patients of both genders, aged 18 to 75 years, who have undergone corrective surgical procedures of hand pathologies in the last 5 years. Results We obtained a total of 54 participants, 26 females and 28 males, with a minimum age of 18 years and a maximum of 73 years. Patient satisfaction for the 11 moments evaluated had means between 8 and 10, showing great satisfaction. For the other five moments evaluated, the means were between five and eight. We did not get any satisfaction average below fivr. Conclusion The absolute satisfaction of patients undergoing hand surgery is dependent on the humanization of health care, especially in relation to surgical consequences, which require further follow-up. The surgical consequences that require greater follow-up and hinder the routine activities of patients are pain on hand mobilization, limitation of the range of motion, and parathesthesia; thus, proper management of these complaints leads to greater satisfaction.

The experience of giving birth in a hospital in Spain: Humanization versus technification.

AIM: To explore and describe the experiences of women giving birth in a tertiary public hospital, with special focus on experiences related to humanized care and women's participation in decision making. METHOD: This is a qualitative phenomenological study through semi-structured interviews to postpartum women giving birth in a tertiary hospital between January and May 2017. Data were analysed through content analysis. RESULTS: The two overarching themes emerged were the professional-information dyad and privacy. Subthemes of the first main theme were the therapeutic relationship, decision-making, feeding the baby, procedures, and the time factor. Subthemes of the second topic were the feelings generated by the hospital environment, the delivery room, and the maternity ward. CONCLUSIONS: If the therapeutic relationship is good, technology is not seen as dehumanising but rather as necessary to ensure continuing safety. "Humanising" material resources are not a priority for women in the birth process and are little used. Privacy was experienced as being a particularly intense need, which women called for throughout the healthcare process.

[Humanized care in a death for COVID-19: A case study]. / El cuidado humanizado en la muerte por COVID-19: a propósito de un caso.

The world population is experiencing a pandemic due to infection with the SARS-Cov-2 virus, which causes the COVID-19 disease. In Spain, the growth rate of the epidemic is 6.79% since the alarm activation with 9,1% of deaths of the total infected. Recommendations of the National Government to prevent health professional contagion include the placement of personal protection devices (FPP2 mask, gloves, waterproof gown, hat, and protective glasses or screen). Once healthcare professionals are using protective equipment, it is necessary to argue about the humanization of nursing caring in people suffering dying situation, who are infected with COVID-19, regarding a clinical case. The aim is to enhance nursing thinking to bridge that distance, and maintain care as human and close as possible, at the end of life.

Humanized Care from the Perception of Oncology Patients from Southern Chile.

OBJECTIVES: This work sought to determine the perception of behaviors of humanized nursing care and its relation with sociodemographic and clinical variables in patients hospitalized in a Hemato-Oncology Department. METHODS: Analytic cross-sectional study conducted with 51 patients hospitalized in the Hemato-Oncology Unit at Hospital Base Valdivia, Chile. A survey containing sociodemographic and clinical information was applied together with the questionnaire on Perception of Behaviors of Humanized Nursing Care 3rd version" -PBHNC 3v (32 items distributed in the categories: Qualities of nursing work, Openness to nurse-patient communication, and Willingness to care). RESULTS: Of the participants, 51% were women, with mean age of 46.5±16.6 years; 54.9% were diagnosed with Lymphoma and 78.4% were in the treatment induction stage. In 30 of the 32 items of the instrument, > 90% of the participants evaluated compliance with the behavior of caring at level of "always". By categories, it was observed that for "Willingness to care" there was significantly lower score among patients from 18 to 49 years of age (p=0.0455). For the category "Openness to nurse-patient communication" lower median score existed in patients with Myeloma (p=0.0043) and in patients in the Remission-Consolidation stage (p=0.0084). Days of hospitalization were associated significantly with the category "Willingness to care", being lower with 16 days and more (p=0.0242). CONCLUSIONS: High frequency was observed of humanized-care behaviors and small differences in their assessment that were associated with demographic factors like age, and clinical factors, like diagnosis, treatment stage, and days of hospitalization.

[Relational dynamics of primary health care teams and their impact on co-management]. / Dinámica relacional de los equipos de salud de atención primaria y su impacto en la construcción de la cogestión.

Co-management is one of the guidelines found in Brazil's National Humanization Policy, a policy that promotes the creation of collective spaces for its construction. Based on a social constructionist approach, qualitative research was carried out between 2015 and 2018 in order to describe and analyze the relational dynamics established in two primary care facilities - a Primary Care Unit and a Family Health Center - with the aim of analyzing organizational cultures and the social construction of co-management. Research was carried out in two phases: fieldwork and interviews. Given that the Family Health Center presented a culture closer to the idea of co-management, we describe and analyze factors contributing to this dynamic. Whereas in the case of the Primary Care Unit, which proved to be farther from co-management, we look at obstacles. Our goal is to demonstrate the complex and fluid nature of relational dynamics, and to show that their transformation requires that efforts be tailored to each specific context, and therefore the "implementation" of collective spaces is not sufficient on its own to generate effective co-management.

La cogestión es uno de los lineamientos de la Política Nacional de Humanización de Brasil, que propone la apertura de espacios colectivos como dispositivos para su construcción. Desde una perspectiva construccionista social, entre 2015 y 2018 se realizó una investigación cualitativa que buscó describir y analizar las dinámicas relacionales en dos contextos de atención primaria de la salud, una unidad de atención primaria tradicional y un centro de salud de la familia, con el propósito de abordar la cultura organizacional y el proceso de construcción social de la cogestión. El trabajo se llevó a cabo en dos etapas: el trabajo de campo y las entrevistas. El núcleo de salud familiar, al tener una cultura más cercana a la cogestión, se describen y analizan facilitadores, mientras que la unidad de atención primaria de la salud tradicional, al alejarse de la cogestión, se detallan los obstaculizadores. Buscamos mostrar que las dinámicas relacionales son complejas y fluidas y que, para su transformación, requieren de un trabajo artesanal y específico en cada contexto, por lo que la "implementación" de espacios colectivos no es suficiente para una cogestión efectiva.

Nursing Students' Relational Skills with Elders Improve through Humanitude Care Methodology.

Nursing students have difficulties interacting with cognitively impaired elders. This study aimed to identify students' difficulties in interacting with elders, the causes of the difficulties in interacting with elders, the strategies used to reduce these difficulties, and the importance attributed to the Structured Sequence of Humanitude Care Procedures (SSHCP). It also aimed to assess the contribution of the Humanitude Care Methodology (HCM) to the development of interaction skills in nursing students. An exploratory descriptive study with a quasi-experimental design was conducted with a sample of 64 nursing students during their hospital clinical training. A control group (usual training) and an experimental group (HCM training) were used. Data were collected through a questionnaire applied at baseline and follow-up. Content analysis, chi-square tests, and Student's t-tests were performed. The main difficulty identified was caring for agitated and confused elders. Difficulties were associated with a lack of theoretical-practical teaching, the clinical training context, lack of experience, and personality traits. HCM impacted positively on the development of students' interaction skills. This study shows that HCM is an innovative methodology in nursing education that will allow for moving from an instrumental and technicist education into a more humanized training capable of transforming care.

Disrespect and abuse towards women during childbirth and postpartum depression: findings from Birth in Brazil Study.

BACKGROUND: Many women are victims of disrespect and abuse during childbirth period. In Brazil, the prevalence of these acts has varied between 11.3% and 18.3%. Despite the high prevalence and grave consequences of mistreatment of women during birth care, women's mental health during this period, and its determining factors, are still poorly understood. The main objective is to investigate the association between mistreatment of women during childbirth and postpartum depression. METHODS: national survey in childbirth care carried out between 2011 and 2012. The sample was composed of 23,378 puerperal women. Disrespect and abuse was composed by seven indicator.We assessed postpartum depression using Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale screening questions. We applied multigroup structural equation modelling (childbirth payment source), considering different theoretical models for vaginal births and C-sections. RESULTS: Disrespect and abuse towards women during childbirth were associated with postpartum depression both in the public and private sectors, for both vaginal births and C-sections. In the public healthcare sector, disrespect and abuse were associated with maternal hospitalization. Presence of fundal pressure manoeuvre, not be white, and not receiving the desired mode of birth (only for C-sections). In the private sector, for both vaginal births and C-sections, not having the desired mode of birth was the only characteristic associated with disrespect and abuse. CONCLUSION: Disrespect and abuse towards women during childbirth may contribute to the development of postpartum depression. Identifying its causes may help prevent the problem and strengthen public policies that favor the good quality of childbirth care.

Pôster como estratégia de aprendizado na disciplina de humanidades: contribuições para a formação do médico / Use of posters as a learning strategy in the humanities discipline: contributions to the training of medical professionals

RESUMO Introdução: Com a implementação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) no Brasil, houve a reformulação do currículo médico sob uma perspectiva biopsicossocial. Para atender a essa demanda no âmbito acadêmico, o componente de humanidades médicas (HM) foi delineado para estimular reflexões interdisciplinares de cunho ético-humanista. A proposta é potencializada com o desenvolvimento de estratégias educacionais capazes de garantir a execução da disciplina no contexto das metodologias ativas. Nessa perspectiva, no ano de 2020, devido à pandemia da Covid-19, o formato tradicional de aulas presenciais necessitou de adaptação para o ensino remoto, o que suscitou a concepção e proposta de adoção de pôster criativo como recurso metodológico. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as possíveis contribuições da produção do pôster criativo para o aprendizado e processo de formação do médico, no contexto da disciplina de HM. Método: Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa de viés exploratório-descritivo. A coleta foi realizada mediante entrevista individual semiestruturada, por meio virtual, no período de agosto a novembro de 2022. Após a transcrição, utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo temática desenvolvida por Bardin para auxiliar na análise dos relatos transcritos e na elaboração de unidades temáticas. A interpretação seguiu referenciais teóricos interdisciplinares do campo da saúde e componentes da disciplina de HM. Resultado: No total, 20 acadêmicos de uma universidade pública do estado do Pará compuseram a amostra deste estudo. A partir da organização e leitura das transcrições, emergiram as seguintes categorias: experiência no ensino presencial; experiência no ensino remoto; processo de elaboração do pôster; arte e humanidades médicas; contribuições da disciplina e do pôster. Conclusão: O uso da ferramenta pôster destaca o papel dos acadêmicos como protagonistas do seu aprendizado no recorte de HM. A maioria referiu o uso do pôster como elemento potencializador para a reflexão proposta pela disciplina, favorecido pela mediação da arte, em diversas modalidades de expressão. Houve a oportunidade de os acadêmicos exporem seus sentimentos e compreensões acerca de temáticas sensíveis à formação médica.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The implementation of the Unified Health System in Brazil led to a need to reformulate the medical curriculum from a biopsychosocial perspective. In the academic field, the Medical Humanities (MH) component has stimulated interdisciplinary reflections of an ethical-humanist nature. This exercise is streamlined with the development of educational strategies capable of guaranteeing the execution of the discipline in the context of active methodologies. From this perspective, in 2020, due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the traditional format of face-to-face classes was forced to be adapted for remote teaching, which led to the conception and proposal for adoption of posters as a methodological resource. Objective: To analyze the possible contributions of creative poster production to the physician's learning and training process, in the context of the medical humanities discipline. Method: A qualitative exploratory-descriptive approach. The data was collected through virtual, semi-structured, individual interviews, from August to November 2022. Following transcription of the interviews, thematic content analysis developed by Bardin (2011) was used to assist in the analysis of the transcribed reports and the development of thematic units. The interpretation followed interdisciplinary theoretical references in the field of health and components of the medical humanities discipline. Result: The study sample was composed of 20 academics from a public university in the state of Pará. From the organization and reading of the transcripts, the following thematic units emerged: experience in face-to-face teaching; experience in remote teaching; poster creation process; art and medical humanities; contributions from the discipline and the poster. Conclusion: The use of posters as a tool highlights the role of academics as protagonists of their own learning in the medical humanities field. The majority referred to the use of the poster as an element that enhanced the reflection proposed by the discipline, favored by the mediation of art, in different forms of expression. It offered an opportunity for academics to express their feelings and understandings about topics sensitive to medical training.

Resumo 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.

Abstract 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.

Percepção de mães sobre a visitação aberta na unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal / Mothers' perception of open visitation in the neonatal intensive care unit / Percepción de las madres sobre las visitas abiertas en la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales

Objetivo: compreender a percepção de mães sobre a visitação aberta na unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal. Métodos: estudo descritivo, qualitativo, realizado por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e individualizada, em uma maternidade pública situada no interior de São Paulo, Brasil, em 2019. A amostra foi definida pelo método de saturação de dados e constou de 14 mães. Os dados foram submetidos a Análise de Conteúdo Temática. Resultados: elencaram-se duas categorias: evidenciando os benefícios da visitação aberta e desafios a serem superados.
