ABSTRACT

Objective:to identify the knowledge and attitudes of school-agedchildren with diabetes facing acute complications.Method:exploratory study design with a qualitative approach, which used puppets as a data collection strategy. Children aged between seven and 12-years having experience with the disease for at least oneyear, followed-up at a Childhood Outpatient Clinic from Santa Catarina, Brazil, were interviewed. Analysis followed deductive content analysis. Results:participants demonstrated poor management of hyperglycemia episodes which could prevent diabetic ketoacidosis. The knowledge about hypoglycemia is higher due to its frequency; however, it has been the result of a deficient self-care with poor adult supervision. Conclusions:lack of understanding and inadequate management was evidenced, in especial, during the hyperglycemia and when the children are away from their parents. The nurses should promote education to immediate actions in acute complications. Educational materials focused on these clientele will contribute to enhance knowledge and abilities.


Objetivo:identificar conhecimentos e atitudes de crianças escolares com diabetes tipo 1 frente complicações agudas da doença. Método:estudo exploratório, qualitativo, que utilizou fantoches como estratégia de coleta de dados. Crianças entre 7 e 12 anos, com pelo menos um ano de diagnóstico, seguidas em ambulatório infantil de Santa Catarina, Brasil, foram entrevistadas. Análise de conteúdo dedutiva foi realizada. Resultados:participantes demonstraram pobre conhecimento e manejo dos episódios de hiperglicemia, o que poderia prevenir a cetoacidose diabética. Os conhecimentos sobre hipoglicemia são maiores, pois ocorrem com frequência, porém têm sido resultado de autocuidado deficiente com pobre supervisão de adultos. Conclusões:falta de entendimento e manejo inadequado das complicações foi evidenciado, em especial na hiperglicemia e quando longe dos cuidadores. O enfermeiro deve promover educação de crianças e famílias para ações imediatas e efetivas perante complicações agudas. Materiais educativos, direcionados a esta clientela, contribuirão para maior conhecimento e desenvolvimento de habilidades.

Método:estudio cualitativo exploratorio que utilizó títeres y fueron entrevistados niños entre 7 y 12 años, con al menos un año de diagnóstico, en una clínica infantil en Santa Catarina, Brasil. Se realizó un análisis de contenido. Resultados:hayescaso conocimiento y manejo de los episodios de hiperglucemia, lo que podría prevenir la cetoacidosis diabética. El conocimiento sobre la hipoglucemia es mayor, ya que ocurre con frecuencia, pero ha sido el resultado de un autocuidado deficiente con una supervisión adulta deficiente. Conclusiones:falta comprensión y manejo adecuado de las complicaciones, especialmente en la hiperglucemia y cuando está lejos de los cuidadores. El enfermero debe promover la educación de los niños y las familias para acciones inmediatas y eficaces frente a las complicaciones agudas. Los materiales educativoscontribuirán a esto.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Oubjective: To assess the implications of changing the cutoff level of TSH from 10 to 6 mIU/L. Subjects and methods: The study population was constituted by 74.123 children screened for congenital hypothyroidism by the National Screening Program in Santa Catarina, from March 2011 to February 2012. The cutoff of TSH was 6 mIU/L. If TSH between 6-10 mIU/L, the newborn was recalled for a second TSH measurement on filter paper. If TSH > 6 mIU/L in the second sample, the child was sent for medical evaluation. In children with normal topic thyroid, levothyroxine was suspended for 1 month at the age of 3 years for identification of the etiology and evaluation of the need to continue treatment. Results: Among the children screened, 435 were recalled for presenting TSH between 6 and 10 mIU/L in the first sample, 28 remained TSH > 6 mIU/L in the second sample. Among these, 11 had a final diagnosis of dyshormonogenesis, two of ectopic thyroid, two of thyroid hypoplasia and one of transient hypothyroidism. Ten children presented normal TSH levels on the first medical evaluation and two lost follow-up. Conclusion: A decrease in the TSH cutoff level from 10 to 6 mIU/L in a neonatal screening program for congenital hypothyroidism reduced the number of false-negative results, increasing the sensitivity of the test, but increased the number of false-positive results and recalls. Since a TSH cutoff level of 6 mIU/L detects thyroid function abnormalities requiring treatment, the adoption of this cutoff level is justified.

ABSTRACT

Objective Evaluate the Neonatal Screening Program (NSP) for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) of the Department of Health of the State of Santa Catarina (Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de Santa Catarina, SES/SC), and provide information to improve the program. Subjects and methods Descriptive, retrospective study of 748,395 children screened between January 2001 and December 2010. We analyzed the coverage of the NSP-SES/SC prevalence of CAH, child’s age when the first sample for 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) measurement was collected, levels of 17OHP, mean age at treatment onset and main clinical manifestations. Results The NSP-SES/SC covered 89% of the live newborns in the State. It diagnosed 50 cases of CAH, yielding an incidence of 1:14,967. Mean age at collection of the first sample was 7.3 days and mean level of 17OHP was 152.9 ng/mL. The most frequent manifestations were virilized genitalia with nonpalpable gonads, clitoromegaly and genital hyperpigmentation. In three girls, the genre established at birth was incorrect. The salt-wasting form was present in 74% of the cases. There was no occurrence of shock or death. Mean age at treatment onset in the salt-wasting form was 17.4 days compared with 54.9 days in those without the salt-wasting form of the disease. All children were treated with hydrocortisone, and those with salt-wasting CAH were also treated with fludrocortisone. Conclusions The incidence of CAH was 1 case to 14,967 live newborns. Collection of the first sample occurred outside the recommended time, resulting in delays in treatment onset. .


Objetivo Avaliar o Programa de Triagem Neonatal da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de Santa Catarina (PTN-SES/SC) em relação à hiperplasia adrenal congênita (HAC) e fornecer subsídios que possibilitem seu aperfeiçoamento. Sujeitos e métodos Estudo descritivo e retrospectivo de 748.395 crianças triadas no período de janeiro de 2001 a dezembro de 2010, sendo analisados a cobertura do PTN-SES/SC, a prevalência da HAC, a idade na coleta da primeira amostra para 17-hidroxiprogesterona (17OHP), os níveis de 17OHP, a idade média de início de tratamento e as principais manifestações clínicas. Resultados A cobertura do PTN-SES/SC foi de 89% dos recém-nascidos vivos no Estado. Foram diagnosticados 50 casos de HAC, com incidência de 1:14.967. A média de idade na coleta da primeira amostra foi de 7,3 dias e a de 17OHP, de 152,9 ng/mL. As manifestações mais frequentes foram genitália virilizada sem gônadas palpáveis, clitoromegalia e hiperpigmentação genital. Em três meninas ocorreu erro no estabelecimento de gênero ao nascimento. A forma perdedora de sal foi encontrada em 74% dos casos. Nenhum caso de choque ou óbito foi verificado. A média de idade no início do tratamento nos perdedores de sal foi de 17,4 dias e nos não perdedores, de 54,9 dias. Todas as crianças foram tratadas com hidrocortisona e, nos casos com a forma perdedora de sal, associou-se fludrocortisona. Conclusões A incidência de HAC foi de 1 caso para 14.967 recém-nascidos vivos. A coleta da primeira amostra ainda ocorreu fora do tempo preconizado, acarretando atraso no início do tratamento. .
