Construction and validation of educational video for the guidance of parents of children regarding clean intermittent catheterization. / Construção e validação de vídeo educativo para orientação de pais de crianças em cateterismo intermitente limpo.

OBJECTIVE: To construct and validate an educational video for the guidance of parents of children who require clean intermittent catheterization. METHOD: Methodological study, developed in two stages: construction and validation of the video was performed by experienced judges from March to December 2016. The construction of the technology had the Theory of Adaptation as theoretical reference. For the data analysis, the intraclass correlation index was used. RESULTS: The first version of the video was 12 minutes, after validation the replacement of technical terms by colloquial language, dynamism in dialogues and the mention of handwashing before assembling the material was recommended. With regard to total reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficient for all the categories evaluated was 0.768, considered reasonable. In the evaluation of language clarity, relevance to practice and theoretical relevance, the results were 0.745, 0.771 and 0.777, respectively, considered reasonable, with p<0.0001. CONCLUSION: The educational video was valid regarding appearance and content, with potential to mediate educational practices in hospital and outpatient settings.

Residual volume in vials of antibiotics used in pediatrics.

OBJECTIVE: Quantifying residual volume contained in vials of antibiotics used in pediatrics. METHOD: This is an experiment involving samples from vials of antibiotics used in a pediatric hospital. Residual volume was identified by calculating the difference in weight measurement before and after the vials were washed. Evaluation of the residual volume difference in the vials was determined by the Wilcoxon non-parametric test for a sample and established at a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: 105 samples of antibiotics were selected. The correct use of the antibiotics oxacillin (88.57%) and ceftriaxone (94.28%) predominated with low residual values. The same did not occur for procaine benzylpenicillin + potassium benzylpenicillin, since a greater residual volume was discarded in 74.28% of the vials. CONCLUSION: We highlight the need for improvements in managing antibiotics in the institution under study, so that the excess volume of the antibiotics in the vials is used within the acceptable stable time. It is also necessary that the disposal of the residual volume be adequately disposed, since it presents a risk to public health and the environment. OBJETIVO: Quantificar o volume residual contido em frascos-ampola de antibióticos utilizados na pediatria. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um experimento com amostras de frascos-ampola de antibióticos utilizados em hospital pediátrico. O volume residual foi identificado calculando-se a diferença da aferição do peso antes e após a lavagem do frasco-ampola. A avaliação da diferença dos volumes residuais nos frascos-ampola foi determinada pelo teste não paramétrico de Wilcoxon para uma amostra e estabelecido o nível de significância de 5%. RESULTADOS: Foram selecionadas 105 amostras de antibióticos. Predominou o correto aproveitamento dos antibióticos oxacilina (88,57%) e ceftriaxona (94,28%), com baixos valores residuais. O mesmo não ocorreu com a benzilpenicilina procaína + potássica, pois em 74,28% dos frascos houve descarte de volume residual superior. CONCLUSÃO: Destaca-se a necessidade de melhorias na gestão dos antibióticos na instituição em estudo, para que o volume excedente do antibiótico em frasco-ampola seja aproveitado até o tempo de estabilidade permitido, assim como é necessário que haja a adequação da forma de descarte do volume residual, que apresenta risco à saúde pública e ao meio ambiente.

[Evaluation of neuromotor development by means of the Harris Infant Neuromotor Test]. / Avaliação do desenvolvimento neuromotor da criança por meio do Harris Infant Neuromotor Test.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the neuromotor development of at-risk children between three and 12 months of life, administering the Brazilian version of the Harris Infant Neuromotor Test (HINT). METHOD: A longitudinal study, with 78 children and 76 parents/guardians discharged from a neonatal intensive care unit in Fortaleza-CE/Brazil. Two instruments were administered: HINT and a socioeconomic questionnaire, between July/2009 to August/2010. Data from 55 preterm and 23 term children were analyzed. RESULTS: The final mean scores ranged from 14.6 to 25.2 and from 11.2 to 24.7, for preterm and term, respectively, showing that 91% of children demonstrated good neuromotor performance; seven premature infants showed alterations which led to the referral of three children to a specialized clinic for examination and diagnostics. CONCLUSION: The test allowed nurses to assess infant development, identify deviations early, and plan interventions.

Prevalence of neonatal screening and associated factors in Brazil: a comparison of the 2013 and 2019 National Health Surveys. / Prevalência e fatores associados à realização dos exames de triagem neonatal no Brasil: comparação da PNS 2013 e 2019.

This study analyzed the prevalence of complete neonatal screening (CNS) of children aged under 2 years in Brazil and associated factors using data from the 2013 (n=4,442) and 2019 (n=5,643) national health surveys. We conducted a cross-sectional study to compare prevalence of CNS (eye, ear and heel prick tests) adopting 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) and a 5% significance level. Crude and adjusted Poisson regression was performed to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) and 95%CI to assess the association between socioeconomic, demographic and health variables and CNS. There was a statistically significant increase in CNS prevalence, from 49.2% (95%CI: 47.1-51.3) in 2013 to 67.4% (95%CI: 65.5-69.3) in 2019. However, large disparities persist across states and between sociodemographic groups. In both years, CNS prevalence was lowest among brown and black children, those from families in the three lowest income quintiles, children without health insurance, those from families registered in the Family Health Strategy and children living in the North, cities outside the state capital/metropolitan regions and rural areas. Despite the increase in prevalence of CNS, deep individual and contextual inequalities persist, posing challenges for health policies.

Analisou-se a prevalência e fatores associados à realização da Triagem Neonatal Completa (TNC) entre crianças (<2 anos de idade) no Brasil incluídas na Pesquisa Nacional Saúde 2013 (n=4.442) e 2019 (n=5.643). Estudo transversal comparou as estimativas de prevalência e intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%) da TNC (testes do olhinho, orelhinha e pezinho). Diferenças foram consideradas estatisticamente significante ao nível de 5%. Regressões de Poisson bruta e ajustada foram realizadas para estimar Razões de Prevalência (RP) e IC95% para a associação das variáveis socioeconômicas, demográficas e de saúde com a TNC. Verificou-se aumento estatisticamente significante da TNC: 67,4% (IC95%: 65,5-69,3) em 2019, ante 49,2% (IC95%: 47,1-51,3) em 2013. Porém, ainda existem desigualdades e defasagens entre os estados da federação e variáveis sociodemográficas. Entre os anos, a TNC foi menor nas crianças de cor/raça parda e preta, dos três piores quintis de renda, sem plano de saúde, cadastradas na Estratégia de Saúde da Família, da região norte, de cidades do interior e da zona rural do Brasil. Apesar de o aumento da prevalência de TNC, desigualdades e defasagens individuais e contextuais permaneceram, indicando os desafios das políticas de saúde.

[Intraclass reliability of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale in the Brazilian version]. / Confiabilidade intraclasse da Alberta Infant Motor Scale na versão brasileira.

This study had as its objective to analyze the intraclass reliability of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), in the Brazilian version, in preterm and term infants. It was a methodological study, conducted from November 2009 to April 2010, with 50 children receiving care in two public institutions in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Children were grouped according to gestational age as preterm and term, and evaluated by three evaluators in the communication laboratory of a public institution or at home. The intraclass correlation indices for the categories prone, supine, sitting and standing ranged from 0.553 to 0.952; most remained above 0.800, except for the standing category of the third evaluator, in which the index was 0.553. As for the total score and percentile, rates ranged from 0.843 to 0.954. The scale proved to be a reliable instrument for assessing gross motor performance of Brazilian children, particularly in Ceará, regardless of gestational age at birth.

[The nurses' perceptions regarding health promotion in the Intensive Care Unit]. / Percepção do enfermeiro sobre promoção da saúde na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva.

The objective of this study was to report the nurses' perceptions regarding health promotion, describe health promotion activities, and identify difficulties in performing health promotion activities in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This descriptive, exploratory study was performed with 31 nurses from two adult ICUs and one neonatal ICU of a reference hospital in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, between July and August 2009, using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed and categorized using Bardin's content analysis. The following categories and subcategories emerged: the concept of health promotion: biomedical and holistic view of health promotion; health promotion activities; communication and emotional support for patients/family; health promotion in the ICU; health promotion focusing on health education; and the difficulties in developing health promotion activities.

Maneuvers to Facilitate Central Venous Catheter Advancement in the Clavicular Region: An Integrative Review.

In many situations, central venous catheters (CVCs), inserted by central or peripheral venipuncture, do not progress, even after performing some movement of the shoulder, head, and neck. This integrative review aimed to verify the scientific evidence about maneuvers to facilitate the advancement of CVCs in the clavicular region and/or shoulder in adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. Primary studies with available electronic abstracts, independent of idiom or publication year, for which results showed aspects related to descriptions of maneuvers for CVC advancement in the clavicular region and shoulder, were included in the review. The sample included 6 studies published from 1989 to 2020 in CINAHL, Cochrane, Lilacs, Medline/PubMed, SCIELO, and Scopus databases. Maneuvers of the shoulder, arm, neck, and head facilitate CVC advancement in the shoulder and clavicular region. However, most of the studies analyzed were performed in adults. More research is needed on CVC advancement in pediatric and neonatal populations.

[Skin lesions in newborns in the hospital setting: type, size and affected area]. / Lesões de pele em recém-nascidos no ambiente hospitalar: tipo, tamanho e área afetada.

UNLABELLED: Skin lesions can occur in newborns (NBs) at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The objective of this study was to identify skin lesions in newborns hospitalized at a NICU, considering the type, affected area and size. This prospective, descriptive, quantitative study was performed from March to May 2007 at a public institution in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. The sample consisted of 137 newborns, 36 (26%) of which had lesions. RESULTS: hematomas (24; 46%), erythemas (9; 18%), excoriations (6; 12%), ecchymoses (5; 10%), pustules (3; 6%) and others (4; 8%). Regarding the affected area: 40% were <1 cm². As for the size: 68% measured between 1 and 2 cm. Geographic form (38%) and localized distribution (92%) prevailed. As to the affected region, the distribution was: limbs (27; 52%), trunk (12; 24%), head (8; 16%) and others (4;8%). In conclusion, the most common skin lesions are hematomas and the limbs are the most affected area.

[Nursing technologies to promote breastfteeding: integrative literature review]. / Tecnologias de enfermagem para promoção do aleitamento materno: revisão integrativa da literatura.

This paper aims to accomplish an integrative literature review on the types of technologies that nurses have developed or that they could use to promote breasfeeding. The research was carried out in October 2009 using the descriptors: breasfeeding, nursing and technology, in the CINAHL, Scopus, PubMed and LILACS databases. 127 references were founda 10 of them participated in the analysis since they fit the study selection criteria. It was verified that most (6 - 60%) of the studies were found in Pubmed in English (8 - 80%) and didn't mention the study type (4 - 40%). Thirteen types of care technologies were identified classified as hard (8 - 61.5%) and soft (5 - 38.5%); the main target audience was formed by children's mothers (9 - 90%), and the video/footage was the most used technology (4 - 40%). The use of soft and sof-hard technologies should be stimulated,for they are considered practical and easy to be developed and applied.

Effect of music combined with swaddling on pain in full-term newborns: randomized clinical trial.

OBJECTIVES: to evaluate the effect of music applied within ten and 15 minutes, combined with swaddling, on behavioral (facial action) and physiological (heart rate) responses to pain in full-term newborns, before and during venipuncture for blood sampling. METHODS: a randomized, triple-blind, clinical trial with 52 rooming in infants randomly assigned to four groups of 13: Experimental 1 (music [ten minutes] plus swaddling), Experimental 2 (music [15 minutes] plus swaddling), Control 1 (no music [ten minutes] plus swaddling), and Control 2 (no music [15 minutes] plus swaddling). Pain was measured using the Neonatal Facial Coding System in the basal and procedural moments. RESULTS: experimental 2 group showed high pain absence (p < 0.05); low heart rate mean (p < 0.0001) in the basal and procedural (antisepsis, puncture, blood squeezing/aspiration, compression) moments. CONCLUSIONS: neonates who listened to 15 minutes of music plus swaddling showed a greater absence of facial pain actions.

[Noise and sounds in the neonatal unit]. / Ruídos e barulhos na unidade neonatal.

The purpose was to identify the causes of noise in the neonatal unit and measure its level in decibels. It is a descriptive study developed in a public institution in Fortaleza-Ceará. The data collection was conducted in the morning, afternoon and night periods from October/2004 through January/2005, though not direct observation, when we measured the Decibel Sound Pressure Level, through a decibelimeter. The results showed that the morning period presented high noise levels, mainly due to conversation between the people and due to water jet used for washing hands, with a maximum value of 80.4dB. The change of equipment in the night period presented maximum value of 78.1dB. We concluded that the average value of decibels in the NU was higher than the recommended by the ABNT.

Content Translation And Validation Of The Pediatric PIV Infiltration Scale Into Brazilian Portuguese.

OBJECTIVES: to translate, adapt and validate the PIV Infiltration Scale content into Brazilian Portuguese. METHODS: a methodological study. Initial translation was performed by two bilingual translators, translation synthesis; backtranslation to the original language; elaboration of the translated version and adapted by expert consensus; content validation and pretest. RESULTS: the Pediatric PIV Infiltration Scale has been translated and adapted. Discrepancies were sorted out by consensus. The scale content was validated by nine experts, reaching a global content validity index of 0.95. Pretest was performed by applying the scale to 33 intravenous device insertion sites of 17 newborns and 16 children. The predominant infiltration grades were 2 and 3. CONCLUSIONS: the Pediatric PIV Infiltration Scale's translated version achieved equivalence to Brazilian Portuguese and was validated by experts.

Child sexual abuse: the perception of mothers concerning their daughters' sexual abuse.

Domestic violence affects all members in a family and children are considered the main victims. This qualitative study aimed to grasp the perception of mothers whose daughters were sexually abused. Data were collected between February and March 2007 in a governmental facility in Fortaleza-CE, Brazil through semi-structured interviews with ten mothers of sexually abused children. Data were submitted to the Collective Subject Discourse Technique from which three themes emerged: Guilt is rooted in the motherhood myth, unhealable pain and despair as a consequence of a feeling of powerlessness. Results evidenced that mothers experience a range of feelings in which pain, revulsion and powerlessness are highlighted. Society should be engaged in the subject and interested in understanding violence, its magnitude and the whole affected chain, otherwise, only good intentions will remain, lost in the void from the lack of action.

Social determinants of health and vulnerabilities to sexually transmitted infections in adolescents.

OBJECTIVE: To verify the association between social determinants of health and the vulnerability of adolescents to Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). METHOD: Cross-sectional study, performed with 287 students aged 11 to 17 years, in the outskirts of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, from August do September 2016. Two instruments were used, one destined to social determinants of health and another to investigating the vulnerability to STIs. The magnitude of associations was expressed through odds ratio and interval of confidence, considering a 5% significance level. This research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Ceará. RESULTS: 212 (73.9%) adolescents were considered more vulnerable, with a score ≥ 4. The intermediate social determinant "housing (home ownership)" obtained significant association with with the vulnerability to STIs (p of 0.022; CI 1.1 to 3.3; OR 1.9). CONCLUSION: The intermediate social determinant "type of housing" influences the vulnerability to STAs.

[Dialogue as a pressuposition in the humanistic nursing theory: relationship mother-nurse-newborn]. / Diálogo como pressuposto na teoria humanística de enfermagem: relação mãe-enfermeira-recém nascido.

This is a critical-reflective study carried out in 2005 aiming at analyzing dialogue as a presupposition in Peterson and Zderad's Humanistic Theory. Using as a starting point two Master's degree theses, the authors adopted the Meleis Model of Analysis, in the scope of theory description, focusing on the unit of analysis named theory presuppositions. The authors clearly perceive the quest for and the construction of the dialogue in the stages of the theory's methodological process: Preparation in order to get to know, Knowing the other intuitively, Knowing the other scientifically, Complementary synthesis of the others' knowledge, Succession within the nurse from the many to the paradoxical one. The presupposition of dialogue was brought up in an explicit manner in the theory, grounded on the philosophical bases of existentialism, humanism, and phenomenology. There was a distinct behavior in each experience, in spite of the common aspects, such as having been experienced with neonates and in the same institution.

Creation and validation of a checklist for blood transfusion in children.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the process for creating and validating a checklist for blood transfusion in children. METHOD: Methodological study, conducted from November 2016 to May 2017, developed in two stages. The content of the items that compose the instrument was based on scientific evidence and submitted to specialized nurses for content validation. We applied the Content Validity index, considering the value ≥ 0.80. RESULTS: The content was considered valid with global CVI of 0.87. Suggestions for adjustments, such as deletion, replacement, and addition of terms, were included in the final version, which consisted of 14 items and 56 subitems. CONCLUSION: The checklist for blood transfusion in children was considered a technology with valid content to be used in the transfusion performed by nurses, thus contributing to transfusion safety in children.

Anxiety of mothers of newborns with congenital malformations in the pre- and postnatal periods.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the anxiety level of the mothers of newborns with congenital malformations who were diagnosed in prenatal and postnatal care. METHODS: a cross-sectional study with 115 mothers of 117 newborns with congenital malformation admitted to three neonatal units. A questionnaire containing maternal and neonatal variables was used, as well as the Trait-State Anxiety Inventory. Data were analyzed by Student's t-test and Kolmogorov-Sminorv test. The anxiety level was categorized as low (percentile <25), moderate (25-75) and high (> 75), with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: most mothers had moderate levels of anxiety. Regarding the diagnosis of the malformation, 57% received the news in the prenatal and 43% in the postnatal period. The anxiety level of those who received the prenatal diagnosis was lower than those who received in the postnatal period, evaluated by the Trait Anxiety Inventory (p = 0.026). CONCLUSION: mothers of newborns with malformations presented moderate anxiety, and this was higher when the diagnosis was given in the postnatal period. The use of the Trait-State Anxiety Inventory can provide guidance to other studies and to clinical practice.

Instruments for the care of pressure injury in pediatrics and hebiatrics: an integrative review of the literature.

OBJECTIVE: to identify existing instruments in the scientific literature about the care of pressure injuries in pediatric and hebiatric patients. METHOD: an integrative review that selected 32 articles from the PubMed/Medline, LILACS, Scopus and CINAHL databases using the descriptors pressure ulcer, decubitus ulcer, pediatrics, adolescent and protocols and their equivalent terms in Portuguese and Spanish. Inclusion criteria: research articles in full, in Portuguese, English or Spanish without any temporal cut-off. The descriptive analysis was adopted to categorize the instruments found into the three domains of care: evaluative, preventive and curative. RESULTS: 25 instruments for the care of pressure injuries in pediatric and hebiatric patients were found, with an emphasis on the Braden Q Scale being the most commonly used to assess pressure injury risk, and the protocols containing pressure injury staging guidelines developed by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) and the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP). CONCLUSION: the scientific literature has valid and reliable instruments that can be used in nursing care practice aimed at the evaluative, preventive and curative care of pressure injuries in pediatric and hebiatric patients.

Integrative literature review: sleep patterns in infants attending nurseries.

OBJECTIVE: To identify evidence available in the literature about sleep patterns of infants attending nurseries. METHOD: An integrative review of studies published in Portuguese, English or Spanish available in full text on LILACS, CINAHL, and PubMed databases. The following descriptors sono, lactente and creches or berçários (in Portuguese) and sleep, infant and childcare or nurseries were used for LILACS, CINAHL and Pubmed, respectively. Nine studies were selected and analyzed. RESULTS: The main component explored in the studies about sleep pattern is the sleep position of the infants, due to its association with sudden infant death syndrome. The results pointed to the need to promote and develop written guidelines regarding behavioral practices to reduce the risk of this phenomenon. CONCLUSION: Evidence has identified sleep issues, mainly regarding the sleep position of the infant and the environment where the infant sleeps, showing that it is critical to set routines and interventions to improve the quality of sleep care of infants attending nurseries.
