Board game on sexually transmitted infections for imprisoned women.

INTRODUCTION: The board games is an educational technology that represents an appealing, active and playful pedagogical strategy and may be capable of motivating imprisoned women to learn about Sexually Transmitted Infections. METHODS: A methodological study to develop and evaluate a board game, following these stages: 1. Integrative literature review to identify educational technologies on Sexually Transmitted Infections used by imprisoned women; 2. Development of the board game; and 3. Content validation performed by 23 evaluators and semantic evaluation carried out with 10 imprisoned women who were enrolled in a school located within a female prison unit in the city of Recife, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. RESULTS: The board game consisted of the following: 01 board; 01 instructions manual; 05 pawns; 52 cards; and 01 dice. A global Content Validity Index of 0.966 was reached in the content validation process performed by health and education professionals. In the validation of the board game content regarding appearance, performed by designers/developers, most of the items obtained a Content Validity Coefficient below 0.85, which resulted in the need for adjustments and a new validation round with these professionals, in which Content Validity Coefficient = 0.917 was obtained. In the semantic evaluation, all the women stated that they improved their knowledge, increased their motivation to attend the class and would like to play the board game again. CONCLUSIONS: The "Previna" board game has been validated and can be considered an important pedagogical tool in the construction of knowledge in relation to the prevention, treatment and control of Sexually Transmitted Infections in the female prison context. The quality of this educational technology is directly related to its development based on an appropriate theoretical and methodological framework, in addition to satisfactory feedback from the target audience. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Not applicable.

Effect of a board game on imprisoned women's knowledge about sexually transmitted infections: a quasi-experimental study.

INTRODUCTION: Board games can be used as a playful educational practice in the teaching and learning process, as they constitute an educational technology that can be a source of health knowledge and an aid in decision-making. The objective of this research was to assess the effect of a board game on imprisoned women's knowledge about STIs. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2022 with 64 imprisoned women who were students at a school located in a prison unit from the city of Recife, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. A 32-item instrument was used to assess knowledge about sexually transmitted infections before, immediately after the intervention and at 15 days. The intervention consisted in applying the Previna board game in a classroom. All the analyses were performed in the Stata software, version 16.0, with a 5% significance level. RESULTS: The knowledge mean in the pre-test was 23.62 (± 3.23) points, whereas it rose to 27.93 (± 2,28) in the immediate post-test, dropping to 27.34 (± 2.37) (p < 0.001) in post-test 2, which was performed 15 days after the intervention. There was a statistically significant difference in the means obtained between the pre-test and the immediate post-test (p < 0.001), with a difference of 4.241 points, as well as between the pre-test and post-test 2 (p < 0.001), a difference of 3.846 spots. CONCLUSIONS: The Previna board game significantly increased its players' knowledge about STIs, and such increase in knowledge remained significant during the follow-up period.

Factors associated with adherence to the COVID-19 vaccine in pregnant women.

OBJECTIVE: to identify factors associated with adherence to the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy. METHOD: cross-sectional and analytical study with 348 postpartum women in shared accommodation at the Municipal Maternities of Recife-PE. Data was collected through interviews during the months of June to September 2022. Pearson's Chi-Square or Fisher's Exact tests and the Poisson regression model were applied for statistical analysis. RESULTS: 17.2% of pregnant women adhered to the complete vaccination schedule, and adherence was associated with access to the internet/TV/radio (p-value = 0.011), routine prenatal vaccination (p-value = 0.019), safety of the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine and partner support (p-value = 0.020). Postpartum women without access to the internet/TV/radio, and who feel confident about the effectiveness of the vaccine, had higher prevalence rates for adhering to COVID-19 vaccination, with PRs of 2.56 and 3.25, respectively. CONCLUSION: there was evidence of low adherence to the vaccination schedule against COVID-19 during the gestational period, considering the number of recommended doses and the interval between them. Therefore, professionals in their clinical practice must make pregnant women aware of the importance of immunization and compliance with the vaccination schedule. BACKGROUND: (1) Maternal vaccination plays a significant role in preventing and combating maternal morbidity. (2) Some factors may influence acceptance or hesitancy of the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy. (3) Safety regarding the effectiveness of vaccination against COVID-19 during pregnancy is a factor associated with adherence to COVID-19 vaccines. (4) Postpartum women without access to the internet/TV/radio have 2.56 times the risk of adhering to the COVID-19 vaccination schedule. (5) Health education helps to increase the level of knowledge and acceptance of the vaccine by pregnant women.

[The family planning of women with mental disorders: what CAPS professionals have to say]. / Planejamento familiar de mulheres com transtorno mental: o que profissionais do CAPS têm a dizer.

The objective of this study was to explore the family planning demands that occur at the Psychosocial Care Center (Centro de Atendimento Psicossocial - CAPS) and investigate the contributions of this service to women with mental disorders. This qualitative study was performed with eight workers from a CAPS located in Fortaleza-CE. Data collection was performed through interviews, and the data were submitted to content analysis. The following demands were identified: relatives' request for information on how to cope with a sexually active patient; patients susceptible to sexual violence and pregnancy; and women with depression taking lithium carbonate. Contributions identified were: the need for an integrated network (primary healthcare/CAPS) with professionals who understand the complexities regarding these women's family planning; supportive care should be provided in the primary healthcare setting, emphasizing matrix organization as a strategy to make both centers co-responsible, thus avoiding unnecessary patient referrals to the CAPS by strengthening the ability to deal with these cases in the primary healthcare setting.

Effect of interventions based on educational technologies on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections in incarcerated women: protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Prisons are places with high vulnerability and high risk for the development of sexually transmitted infections. World Health Agencies recommend establishing intervention measures, such as information and education, on the prevention of diseases. Thus, technologies as tools for health education have been used to reduce sexually transmitted infections. However, no systematic review has investigated the effectiveness of these interventions. Therefore, this review's objective is to examine the effect of educational technologies used for preventing sexually transmitted infections in incarcerated women. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines will be strictly followed. The following electronic databases will be searched: Scopus; Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health, Education Resources Information Center, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed/Medline, Web of Science and Google Scholar. Randomised clinical trials of interventions that used educational technologies to prevent sexually transmitted infections in incarcerated women will be searched in the databases from the beginning of 2020 until December by two researchers independently. A narrative synthesis will be constructed for all included studies, and if there are sufficient data, a meta-analysis will be performed using the Review Manager software (V.5.3). Continuous results will be presented as the weighted mean difference or the standardised mean difference with 95% CIs. Under the heterogeneity of the included studies, a random-effects or fixed-effects model will be used. The studies' heterogeneity will be assessed by the I2 method. The sensitivity analysis will be carried out to examine the magnitude of each study's influence on the general results. A significance level of p≤0.05 will be adopted. ETHICS AND DISCLOSURE: Ethical approval is not required because no primary data will be collected. The results will be published in journals reviewed by peers.

Risk for impaired cardiovascular function nursing diagnosis: Content analysis to evaluate women in jail.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the content of the diagnostic proposal, risk for impaired cardiovascular function, focusing on incarcerated women. METHODS: A methodological study of nursing diagnosis content validation carried out from December/2018 to June/2019. A sample of 24 judges evaluated the proposed definition and the relevance of the proposed etiological factors of risk for impaired cardiovascular function. To determine the content validity of the etiological factors, the Content Validity Index was calculated and a value of 0.9 was adopted, in addition to the Wilcoxon test. RESULTS: The diagnostic definition was considered consistent with the diagnostic label. All 18 etiological factors were validated with a Content Validity Index statistically >0.9 and categorized into risk factors, associated conditions, and at-risk populations. CONCLUSION: The definition and 18 etiological factors of risk for impaired cardiovascular function were validated. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NURSING PRACTICE: The study allowed the new proposal for the risk for impaired cardiovascular function nursing diagnosis to be accepted to return to the taxonomy of NANDA International with an expanded and more consistent structure. The return of the referred nursing diagnosis to the taxonomy favors the nurse's diagnostic reasoning and the documentation of all nursing actions, linked to this diagnosis, which are aimed at minimizing cardiovascular risk.

Educational technologies on sexually transmitted infections for incarcerated women.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze in the scientific literature the educational technologies on sexually transmitted infections used in health education for incarcerated women. METHOD: an integrative review carried out by searching for articles in the following databases: Scopus, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health, Education Resources Information Center, PsycInFO, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Latin American Literature in Health Sciences, Cochrane, and the ScienceDirect electronic library. There were no language and time restrictions. A search strategy was developed in PubMed and later adapted to the other databases. RESULTS: a total of 823 studies were initially identified and, after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight articles were selected. Most of them were developed in the United States with a predominance of randomized clinical trials. The technologies identified were of the printed materials type, isolated or associated to simulators of genital organs, videos, and games. CONCLUSION: the technologies on sexually transmitted infections used in health education for incarcerated women may contribute to adherence to the prevention of this serious public health problem in the context of deprivation of liberty.

Assessment was positive among girls and mothers. Only three items had indices less than 0.80 among teachers and video professionals. CONCLUSIONS: the educational video was validated, conferring credibility to contribute to educational actions and improve vaccination indexes.

Particularities of family planning in women with mental disorders.

The study aimed to identify the gynecological and obstetric profile of women with mental disorders; to verify the association between medical diagnosis of mental disorder and correct/incorrect use of contraceptive methods, and verify diagnoses, frequency of hospitalizations and varieties of medication consumed. Participants were 255 women who received care in a Psychosocial Care Service. Data were collected through medical record review and structured interview. The inheritance of some mental disorders, psychiatric hospitalization as the cause to interrupt contraception, use of contraceptives that do not depend on personal control, drug interactions between psychotropic drugs and oral contraceptives; participation of the partner and/or relatives in the reproductive choice and contraceptive practice were particularities of this target audience in family planning. There was no statistical association between medical diagnoses and correct or incorrect use of contraceptives. Women suffering from mental disorders need specific and comprehensive family planning care.

Caring for the carer: quality of life and burden of female caregivers.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the quality of life and the burden of female caregivers. METHOD: Descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study carried out with 224 informal caregivers from March to July 2016. Three instruments were used: a characterization form for the caregiver, the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire and the Zarit Burden Interview. The following tests were used: Cronbach's Alpha, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman and Mann-Whitney. RESULTS: The mean age of caregivers was 51.8 years with a standard deviation of 13.7. They were predominantly married, had a low income and low level of education, were first-degree relatives, had been providing care for one to five years and presented some pathology. The associations of quality of life that presented statistical significance were: income, marital status, number of people living with the caregiver and time of care. CONCLUSION: The burden was negatively correlated with QOL, that is, the greater the burden, the more impaired will be the life of these caregivers.

Caring to Nurses in a Hospital Setting: Meanings Unveiled by Photography.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Care represents a human need and as a fundamental component of the social practice of nursing it should be reified in interpersonal relationships and in patients' biopsychosociocultural needs, thus requiring thinking on a regular basis. This study aims to analyze the senses and meanings of the caring process experienced by nurses in a hospital setting. METHODS: Qualitative research oriented by Symbolic Interactionism as the theoretical framework. The data were collected through photography and by semi-structured interviews with 16 nurses from a University Hospital of Northeastern Brazil. After a narrative analysis, four representative themes were perceived. RESULTS: The nurses' perception of caring was related to building relationships based upon complicity, solidarity, care, love, and technico-scientific competence but also upon the work overload and working conditions and difficulty to deal with human emotions and feelings of suffering, which are exposed and perceived in the social interacting process. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The senses and meanings of caring converge into a rupture of the nurses' regular and crystallized actions. That assumes a critical and reflexive review of ways of interacting with the patient, family, and environment. It is necessary that nurses choose communicative strategies, such as photography, that can unfold feelings and emotions which are essential requirements in the process and in the evaluation of care in a hospitalization setting.
