ABSTRACT
Resumo O artigo apresenta uma análise sobre a difusão das clínicas médicas populares nos municípios que compõem a Região Metropolitana de Belém (RMB). Com o propósito de compreender as razões e as origens do avanço do setor de saúde popular, promoveu-se uma investigação sobre a atuação da rede de atenção básica à saúde (ABS) do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). A discussão se fundamenta na revisão de dados primários e secundários, captados via trabalho de campo nas 119 clínicas populares da RMB e via informações do DATASUS. Constatou-se que o setor das clínicas de saúde popular foi beneficiado amplamente nos últimos anos, mediante a intensificação do subfinanciamento do SUS, em particular da rede de ABS, que passa por um processo de fragmentação, responsáveis pela redução e pela desarticulação das equipes multiprofissionais de ABS, além das perdas apresentadas no setor de saúde suplementar. As clínicas populares seguem um modelo assistencial inacabado e contraditório, criado pela própria iniciativa privada para o preenchimento da demanda reprimida do SUS em razão de o acesso a essas instituições não garantir uma assistência universal e gratuita ou assegurar um tratamento continuo, motivo pelo qual uma ampla parcela destes usuários é devolvida ao SUS.
Abstract The scope of this article is an analysis of the proliferation of community medical clinics in the municipalities that comprise the Metropolitan Region of Belem. An investigation was conducted into the performance of the primary health care network of Brazil's Unified Health System, with a view to getting a better understanding of the reasons for, and origins of, the proactive stance of the community health sector. The discussion is based on the review of primary and secondary data, obtained via fieldwork in 119 community clinics in the Metropolitan Region of Belem, and information from Brazil's Unified Health System data center. It was revealed that the community health clinic sector has benefited extensively in recent years from the intensification of underfunding of Brazil's Unified Health System, especially the primary health care network, which is undergoing a process of fragmentation. This is directly responsible for the reduction and disruption of multiprofessional primary health care teams, in addition to the losses suffered in the supplementary health sector. The community clinics adopt an spontaneous and contradictory care model created by the private sector to meet the repressed demand of Brazil's Unified Health System
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze sociodemographic variables that may interfere with the clinical outcome of patients with voice or swallowing complaints. Methods: a descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional, observational study in which the medical records of patients above 18 years old treated at the Voice Clinic of the Speech-Language-Hearing Service of the Rio de Janeiro University Hospital between 2010 and 2018, were analyzed, including 81 medical records - 47 from females and 34 from males. Patients were divided according to three types of outcomes, namely: discharge, dismissal, and abandonment. The sociodemographic variables were sex, marital status, education level, income, whether they were occupational voice users, and the main complaint. The relative and absolute frequencies were calculated to analyze the results, and the Pearson´s chi-square test was used for inferential analysis (significance level of 5%). Results: sociodemographic variables were not significantly associated with the outcomes when the type of complaint (voice or swallowing) was not considered, separately. The study found a significantly higher frequency of patients with voice complaints who were discharged from speech-language-hearing therapy (p = 0.020). The higher frequency of such patients who abandoned therapy was significantly associated with an income of up to one minimum wage (p = 0.041). People with swallowing complaints were not significantly associated with sociodemographic variables. Conclusion: the most frequent outcome was treatment abandonment. In this study, low family income was associated with treatment abandonment by patients with voice complaints. Patients with swallowing complaints had a lower frequency of treatment abandonment and discharge than patients with voice complaints.
RESUMO Objetivo: analisar as variáveis sociodemográficas que podem interferir no desfecho de casos clínicos de pacientes com queixas de voz ou deglutição. Métodos: estudo observacional, transversal, descritivo e retrospectivo. Foram analisados os prontuários de pessoas maiores de 18 anos atendidas na Clínica de Voz do Serviço de Fonoaudiologia do Hospital Universitário do Rio de Janeiro de 2010 a 2018. Foram incluídos 81 prontuários, sendo 47 de participantes do gênero feminino e 34 do masculino. Os pacientes foram divididos quanto a três tipos de desfecho: alta, desligamento e abandono. As variáveis sociodemográficas estudadas foram gênero, estado civil, escolaridade, renda, ser ou não profissional da voz e queixa principal. Para análise dos resultados, foram contabilizadas as frequências relativa e absoluta e, para análise inferencial, foi utilizado o teste Qui-Quadrado de Pearson (nível de significância de 5%). Resultados: as variáveis sociodemográficas não estiveram significantemente associadas aos desfechos estudados quando não se considerou o tipo de queixa (de voz ou de deglutição) de forma separada. Especificamente, observou-se uma frequência significativamente maior de pacientes com queixa de voz e que receberam alta fonoaudiológica (p=0,020). Nestes pacientes, houve associação significativa entre a frequência maior de pacientes que abandonaram a terapia e que possuíam renda de até um salário-mínimo (p=0,041). Não houve associações significativas nas pessoas com queixas de deglutição e as variáveis sociodemográfica estudadas. Conclusão: o desfecho mais frequente foi o abandono ao tratamento. Neste estudo, a baixa renda familiar esteve associada ao abandono do tratamento por pacientes com queixa de voz. Pacientes com queixas de deglutição apresentaram menor frequência de abandono ao tratamento e menos alta do que pacientes com queixas de voz.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective: Dentistry from the Universidade Federal de Alfenas who were enrolled in the seventh period and who took the Integrated Clinic I Discipline (ICID) in the emergency remote learning model (ERLM). Material and Methods: This is a qualitative and descriptive study. The information was collected through questionnaires applied by the Professors during the ICID. Subsequently, the professor evaluated the treatment developed in virtual form by each student regarding its logical sequence and the most appropriate treatment for each case. The results of the answers were transcribed and submitted to lexicographical textual, Descending Hierarchical Classification, and Similitude analysis in the Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ) program. Results: The students described the online situational treatment planning in five essential steps: adequacy of the oral environment, restorative need, prosthetic need, rehabilitation by prosthesis on the implant, and corrective orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: It was observed that the students who enrolled in ICID presented well-integrated planning during ERLM, despite the COVID-19 pandemic hindering these students' contact between theoretical teaching and the integrated practices in dentistry offered by the educational institution.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the medication adherence of patients with hypertension in medication consultation clinics， and to analyze its influencing factors. METHODS The data of 389 patients who visited the medication consultation clinics of our hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were collected. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the related factors affecting medication adherence of hypertensive patients or those receiving different types of drugs. RESULTS Among 389 patients with hypertension， 302 cases （77.63%） had good adherence. Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that higher education level [corrected OR＝2.25， 95%CI （1.29， 3.93）， P＝0.004] was positively correlated with medication adherence， average blood pressure level [corrected OR＝0.19， 95%CI （0.10， 0.37）， P＜0.001]， without complication [corrected OR＝0.47， 95%CI（0.26，0.84），P＝0.010] and antihypertensive drug regimen being free dose combination [corrected OR＝0.27，95%CI（0.15， 0.47）， P＜0.001] were negatively correlated with adherence. Results of univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that patients who used β-receptor blocking agents [OR＝1.65，95%CI（1.06，2.57），P＝0.027]， calcium channel blockers [OR＝2.13，95%CI（1.33， 3.42），P＝0.002] and agents acting on the renin-angiotensin system [OR＝2.04，95%CI（1.29，3.22），P＝0.002] had good medication adherence. CONCLUSIONS The medication adherence of hypertension patients needs to be improved. Hypertension patients with higher education level， lower average blood pressure level， complications and fixed-dose combination regimen and those who use agents acting on the renin-angiotensin system， calcium channel blockers and β-receptor blocking agents may have better medication adherence.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the current situation of healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) management of fever clinics among different levels of medical institutions in Wuhan, and to provide a scientific basis for improving hospital infection management. Methods In January 2023, a network questionnaire survey was conducted on medical institutions with fever clinics in Wuhan. Results A total of 72 medical institutions were investigated, of which 58.33% had CT, and 48.61% had fever clinics for children. The total qualified rate of HCAI management was 78.28%. The qualified rates of four primary indicators, including hospital management, diagnosis and treatment environment protection, training and education, and implementation of infection control measures, were 82.27%, 71.49%, 75.93%, and 81.31%, respectively. There were statistical differences among different levels of medical institutions (all P<0.01). Among the 13 secondary indicators, the qualified rates of 7 indicators were more than 80%, with the highest being medical item management (93.06%), medical waste disposal (89.72%), and personnel management (83.33%), and the lowest being facilities and equipment (66.32%), and patients and accompanying personnel education (66.67%). Among the 65 tertiary indicators, 30 had a pass rate great than 80%. Conclusion Wuhan actively promotes the construction of fever clinics in medical institutions, and the overall situation of HCAI management is good. However, there are still some problems to varying degrees, especially in the layout procedures, hand hygiene, and staff training of fever clinics in secondary and lower medical institutions, which should be further strengthened.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the current situation of pharmaceutical clinic service in medical institutions in China and provide experience and suggestions for promoting the development of pharmaceutical clinics. METHODS Questionnaire survey was used to investigate the development of pharmaceutical clinics in medical institutions of 31 provinces （autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government） in March to April 2023， and the descriptive analysis was conducted. The regression analysis was carried out for the influential factors of pharmaceutical clinic service. RESULTS A total of 1 368 questionnaires were distributed in this survey and 1 304 valid questionnaires were collected with the effective response rate of 95.32%. A total of 463 medical institutions carried out pharmaceutical clinic service， the rate of which was 35.51% （463/1 304）； the rates of pharmaceutical clinics in tertiary， secondary， primary and other medical institutions were 52.80%， 17.18% and 5.88%， respectively. The frequency of opening pharmaceutical clinics was 3.17 days per week on average， with an average of 5.99 visiting pharmacists in each medical institution. Among the visiting pharmacists， clinical pharmacists accounted for the vast majority （88.68%， 2 459/2 773）. There were various categories of pharmaceutical clinics， including joint clinics and pharmacist-independent clinics； among pharmacist-independent clinics， pharmaceutical specialty/specialty disease clinics were the main ones， accounting for 89.72% of the total number of pharmaceutical clinics. The value of pharmacists in pharmaceutical clinics was manifested in various forms， among which the proportion of medical institutions charging pharmaceutical clinics was 10.80%. The main experiences in developing pharmaceutical clinics were to attach importance to discipline construction and personnel training. The main difficulties in developing pharmaceutical clinics were low compensation levels and a shortage of talent.The number of clinical pharmacists， the number of visiting pharmacists in pharmaceutical clinics and additional compensation were positively correlated with the amount of pharmaceutical clinic services（P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS In recent years， pharmaceutical clinics have made significant progress； in the future， it is still necessary to further strengthen discipline construction and talent cultivation， pay attention to the value embodiment of pharmacists， to promote the healthy development of pharmaceutical clinics.
ABSTRACT
Grupos psicoterapêuticos encontram crescente receptividade nos serviços públicos e privados de saúde. Eles conjugam a expansão da capacidade de atendimento com atuação clínica crítica e propositiva frente ao individualismo da sociedade contemporânea. É importante assim pensarmos os desafios da formação dos psicólogos para este trabalho. Este artigo parte de uma dificuldade encontrada por estagiários de 4° e 5° ano do curso de psicologia, na condução de um grupo psicoterapêutico. Coloca-se como objetivo analisar a relação entre um pacto denegativo que obstaculiza o processo terapêutico com as experiências iniciais de atendimento dos estagiários. Aspectos vivenciados serão apresentados e debatidos à luz da teoria. Descreve-se a existência de um pacto denegativo neste grupo, que se opõe ao processo terapêutico dos pacientes e complexifica o desenvolvimento dos estagiários ao desafiar a confiança em suas percepções e associações, dificultando a realização de intervenções. Conclui-se que o pacto denegativo que obstaculiza o grupo se apresenta, a princípio, como um desafio aos estagiários, porém, mediante o apoio na relação entre os estagiários e supervisão é possível transformar este desafio em fonte de aprendizado.
Grupos psicoterapéuticos son cada vez más recibidos en los servicios de salud. Combinan la expansión de la capacidad de servicio con una acción clínica crítica y decidida frente al individualismo de la sociedad contemporánea. Es importante pensar en los desafíos de formar psicólogos para este trabajo. Este artículo se basa en una dificultad que enfrentan los pasantes de 4° y 5° año de psicología al momento de conducir un grupo psicoterapéutico. El objetivo es analizar la relación entre un pacto negativo que obstruye el proceso terapéutico y las experiencias de cuidado de los internos. Se debatirán experiencias y la teoría. Se describe la existencia de un pacto negativo, que se opone al proceso terapéutico de los pacientes e intensifica el desafío de los alumnos al desafiar la confianza en sus percepciones y asociaciones, lo que dificulta la realización de intervenciones. Se concluye que el pacto negativo que obstaculiza al grupo se presenta, en un primer momento, como un reto para los aprendices, sin embargo, a través del apoyo en la relación entre los aprendices y la supervisión es posible transformar este reto en una fuente de aprendizaje.
Psychotherapeutic groups are increasingly employed in health services. They combine the expansion of the service capacity with critical and purposeful clinical action in face of the individualism of contemporary society. It is important to think about the challenges of training psychologists for this work. This article is based on a difficulty encountered by 4th and 5th year psychology students, acting as trainees, when conducting a psychotherapeutic group. The objective is to analyze the relationship between a denegative pact that obstructs the therapeutic process and the trainees' initial clinical experience. This text debates aspects of this practice in light of theory. It describes a denegative pact in this group, which opposes the patients' therapeutic process and intensifies the trainees' challenge by challenging the trust in their perceptions and associations, making it more difficult for them to find spaces to intervene. It concludes that the negative pact that hinders the group presents itself, in principle, as a challenge to the trainees, however, through support in the relationship between the trainees and supervision it is possible to transform this challenge into a source of learning.

ABSTRACT
Carrying out fieldwork in private infertility clinics poses its own specific set of challenges. Gaining access to these field sites not only obliges researchers to negotiate with gatekeepers but also to deal with structures of hierarchy and power. Based on my preliminary fieldwork in Lucknow city of Uttar Pradesh, I discuss the challenges of conducting fieldwork in infertility clinics and how methodological challenges push the researcher to question the academically established notions of the “field”, “fieldwork” and “research ethics”. The paper stresses the importance of discussing the challenges of doing fieldwork in private health setups and is an attempt to answer vital questions about the nature of fieldwork, how the fieldwork was conducted, and the need to include questions and dilemmas that anthropologists might face in the process of making decisions in the field.
ABSTRACT
Resumen Objetivo: Evaluar el nivel de satisfacción en la atención recibida por los usuarios de la Clínica Odontológica de la Universidad México Americana del Norte (CO-UMAN) Allende. Material y método: El estudio fue descriptivo, observacional, transversal y prospectivo; se aplicó una encuesta de opinión a 200 pacientes, seleccionados mediante muestreo por conveniencia en 2019, sobre la estructura, proceso y resultados de la atención; así como bio-demográficos de cada paciente. Resultados: Predominaron pacientes con edades entre 21 y 60 años (71%), mujeres (63%), casados(as) (45%), empleados(as)/amas de casa (57%) y baja frecuencia de enfermedades concomitantes (10%). A mayor edad hubo mayor frecuencia de enfermedades concomitantes (r=0.26; p<0.05) y satisfacción en el servicio (r=0.26; p<0.05); con otras enfermedades concomitantes la satisfacción del paciente fue menor (r=-0.39; p<0.05). Los pacientes indican que hay más satisfacción (de 2.6 a 5.4 veces) al recibir un servicio adecuado o mejor. La satisfacción del paciente y la calidad de la atención de la clínica se asoció positivamente (p<0.05) con los trámites sencillos, trato por parte del odontólogo; confianza en la calidad de los servicios recibidos; relación costo/beneficio; puntualidad en la atención y efectividad del tratamiento odontológico recibido. Los coeficientes canónicos estandarizados indicaron mayor contribución en la satisfacción del usuario: las instalaciones e infraestructura de la clínica (0.479); atención del personal y proceso administrativo (0.543); atención del odontólogo (0.700); confianza en la atención y percepción del servicio recibido (0.660) y pobre relación con edad (0.078), género (0.030), estado civil (-0.040) y ocupación del paciente (0.065). Conclusión: No obstante que la cantidad y calidad del servicio de la CO-UMAN se ha incrementado y mejorado sustantivamente, es necesario desarrollar un plan de mejora continua para alcanzar estándares de calidad total.
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the level of satisfaction in the care received by the users of the Dental Clinic of the Universidad México Americana del Norte (DC-UMAN) Allende. Material and method: The study was descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, and prospective. In 2019, an opinion survey on the structure, proceedings, and results of the care, as well as bio-demographics of each patient was applied to 200 patients selected by convenience sampling. Results: Patients aged between 21 and 60 years (71%), women (63%), married (45%), employees/housewives (57%) and a low frequency of concomitant diseases (10%) predominated. At an older age, there was a higher frequency of concomitant diseases (r=0.26; p<0.05) and satisfaction in the service (r=0.26; p<0.05); with other concomitant diseases, patient satisfaction was lower (r=-0.39; p<0.05). Patients indicated that there is more satisfaction (from 2.6 to 5.4 times) when receiving an adequate or better service. Patient satisfaction and the quality of clinic care were positively associated (p<0.05) with simple procedures, treatment by the dentist, confidence in the quality of the services received, cost-benefit ratio, punctuality in the care and effectiveness of the dental treatment received. The standardized canonical coefficients indicated a greater contribution to user satisfaction from the facilities and infrastructure of the clinic (0.479), staff attention and administrative process (0.543), dental care (0.700), trust in care and perception of the service received (0.660) and poor relationship with age (0.078), gender (0.030), marital status (-0.040), and occupation (0.065) of the patient. Conclusion: Although the quantity and quality of the DC-UMAN service has increased and improved substantially, it is necessary to develop a continuous improvement plan to achieve total quality standards.
ABSTRACT
As clínicas integradas em Odontologia constituem em um desafio para o ensino superior na formação do profissional, que deverá aprender a tratar as condições orofaciais de seu paciente de forma diferenciada no futuro próximo, aliando cada vez mais a Odontologia e as novas tecnologias. Objetivou-se com este estudo de revisão discutida entender o conceito de clínica integrada e suas perspectivas em consonância com as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais. Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico sistematizado nos bancos de dados eletrônicos: Lilacs, PubMed e Scielo. Os termos em português e inglês "Educação em Odontologia" (Dental Education), "Clínicas Odontológicas" (Dental Clinics), "Graduação" (Undergraduate Program), "Prestação Integrada de Cuidados de Saúde" (delivery of health care, integrated) e "Currículo" (Curriculum) foram utilizados como palavras-chave. Foram eleitos 23 artigos para esta revisão e extraídas as ideias principais dos textos tendo como base as metodologias utilizadas e os principais resultados. Os autores foram unânimes em ressaltar que as clínicas integradas em Odontologia exercem influência na formação e no preparo do egresso generalista através do treinamento sobre um planejamento global, inter e multidisciplinar como pilar essencial para um currículo integrativo e inovador.
ntegrated clinics in Dentistry present a challenge for higher education in the training of professionals, who must adapt their approach to treating orofacial conditions in the near future, increasingly incorporating Dentistry and new technologies. This review study aimed to comprehend the concept of integrated clinics and its alignment with the National Curricular Guidelines. A systematic bibliographic survey was conducted in the following electronic databases: Lilacs, PubMed, and Scielo. The search employed keywords in both Portuguese and English, including "Education in Dentistry" (Dental Education), "Dental Clinics", "Graduation" (undergraduate program), "Integrated Provision of Health Care" (delivery of health care, integrated), and "Curriculum." Approximately 23 articles were selected for this review, and the primary ideas within the texts were extracted based on the employed methodologies and the principal results. The authors unanimously emphasized that integrated dentistry clinics significantly impact the training and preparation of generalist graduates. This influence stems from emphasizing global, inter, and multidisciplinary planning as an indispensable foundation for an integrative and innovative curriculum.
ABSTRACT
Resumo Este artigo trata do tema da colonialidade e das Clínicas do Trabalho a partir de uma pesquisa realizada junto a professoras da rede pública de educação básica. Aborda-se a questão desde uma perspectiva da Clínica da Atividade, indicando a proposição de um conceito-ferramenta que chamamos de Estilizações Marginais, o qual indica um processo experimentado por pessoas negras em seu ofício em virtude da operação de estratégias da branquitude. Defende-se, neste estudo, a aposta em uma Clínica Antirracista do Trabalho.
Resumen Este artículo aborda el tema de la Colonialidad y las Clínicas del Trabajo a partir de una investigación realizada con profesores de la red pública de enseñanza básica. La cuestión es abordada desde la perspectiva de la Clínica de la Actividad, indicando la proposición de una herramienta-concepto que denominamos Estilizaciones Marginales, que indica un proceso vivido por las personas negras en su profesión debido a la operación de estrategias de blancura. Defendemos la apuesta por una Clínica del Trabajo Antirracista.
Abstract This article deals with the theme of coloniality and the Work Clinics from a research conducted with teachers of the public basic education system. The issue is approached from the perspective of the Activity Clinic, indicating the proposition of a concept-tool that we call Marginal Stylizations, which indicates a process experienced by black people in their craft due to the operation of whiteness strategies. With this study, we defend the bet on an Antiracist Work Clinic.
ABSTRACT
Este artigo coloca em debate a relação entre trabalho, formação e política a partir de uma experiência de pesquisa-intervenção realizada com trabalhadores de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde do município de Porto Alegre. Iniciamos posicionando a tríade "trabalho-formação-política" esboçando a compreensão que temos dessa relação. A seguir, apresentamos os principais operadores teórico-metodológicos utilizados na pesquisa, destacando o emprego da cartografia e o dispositivo da instrução ao sósia. Por fim, desenvolvemos trechos do material analisado por meio dos operadores conceituais e metodológicos propostos, indicando que a análise da atividade suscita a colocação de problemas aos saberes construídos no trabalho, constituindo outras maneiras de trabalhar em meio a debates que envolvem decisões relacionadas aos impactos do trabalho para os trabalhadores e o território onde atuam. Concluímos, com base na investigação feita, que a construção de saberes ao trabalhar não é somente uma tessitura de si ou de saberes, mas também, e necessariamente, da própria política, visto que viver o/no/pelo trabalho, renormatizando os processos, implica a tessitura dos modos de viver em conjunto
This article discusses the relationship between work, professional development, and politics based on an intervention-research experience conducted with workers of a Basic Health Unit in the city of Porto Alegre. We begin by positioning the "work-education-politics" triad, outlining our understanding of this relationship. Next, we present the main theoretical-methodological operators used in this research, highlighting the use of cartography and the device of the instruction to the double. Finally, we developed excerpts of the analyzed material with the proposed conceptual and methodological operators, indicating that the analysis of the activity leads to posing problems to the knowledge built at work, constituting other ways of working in the midst of debates that involve decisions related to the impacts of the work for the workers and the territory where they work. We conclude, based on the investigation carried out, that the construction of knowledge when working is not only a weaving of itself, or of knowledge, but also, and necessarily, of the policy itself, since living the/in/through work, normalizing the processes again, implies weaving the modes to live together

A análise do trabalho convoca à ampliação de referências epistemológicas e metodológicas para produzir transformações a partir de suas distintas realidades e dimensões. Nesse sentido, as abordagens das Clínicas do Trabalho se mostram como um caminho para compreender as relações entre subjetividade e trabalho, considerando suas condições concretas. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir, com base nas Clínicas do Trabalho, a relação entre processos de trabalho precarizado e a subjetividade de trabalhadores e trabalhadoras, em dois contextos laborais e territoriais distintos. Assim, parte-se de duas pesquisas para pensar esta mobilização. Na primeira, foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com haitianos(as) que residiam em Contagem/MG, a fim de compreendermos as dimensões psicossociais da migração para migrantes haitianos a partir das categorias território e trabalho. A segunda pesquisa buscou compreender as trajetórias empreendedoras no Uruguai e na Argentina a partir de um estudo sobre empreendedorismo nos dois países, que incluiu entrevistas biográficas com 18 empreendedores. Tais experiências possuem em comum a presença do desemprego nas trajetórias laborais de trabalhadoras e trabalhadores entrevistados(as) e uma característica básica do precariado: a ausência de um projeto de futuro que possibilite a construção de existências emancipatórias, o que pode ser fonte de sofrimento psíquico
Analyzing work requires expanding epistemological and methodological references to produce transformations based on its distinct realities and dimensions. Thus, the approaches of Labor Clinics can understand the relations between subjectivity and work by considering their concrete conditions. This study aimed to discuss the relations between precarious work processes and the subjectivity of workers in two distinct labor and territorial contexts, based on Work Clinics. Thus, two research studies are used to think about this mobilization. In the first, in-depth interviews were conducted with Haitian men and women who live in Contagem/MG to understand the psychosocial dimensions of migration for Haitian migrants based on categories of territory and work. The second research sought to understand entrepreneurial trajectories in Uruguay and Argentina from a study on entrepreneurship in both countries, which included biographical interviews with 18 entrepreneurs. These experiences share the presence of unemployment in the labor trajectories of the interviewed workers and a basic characteristic of the precariat: the absence of a future project that enables the construction of emancipatory existences, which can cause psychological suffering

As a front-line department for the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases, the construction and management of fever clinics have also been adjusted with the changes of the epidemic situation in different periods. In this context, the scope of diagnosis and treatment of fever clinics should be expanded again, not limited to the detection and screening of infectious diseases, but should focus on early treatment and prevention of severe diseases. Management measures should also be further optimized with the expansion of patient types. Face of this situation, we need to actively explore the integration of epidemic prevention and control into the normalized diagnosis and treatment environment, and at the same time maintain the ability to respond to the outbreak of the epidemic. As a hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, it is also important to play and develop the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in the construction of fever clinic.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the association between the frequency of using smoking cessation application (APP) and the effect of smoking cessation in smoking cessation clinic.Methods:A clinical trial with a non-randomized controlled design was conducted in the smoking cessation clinic of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from July 2019 to June 2021. Participants were given a comprehensive smoking cessation intervention of mobile APP combined with bupropion. The primary outcome measures were carbon monoxide validated sustained abstinence at 9-12 weeks.Results:A total of 187 participants were included in the final analysis. After 12-week intervention, the sustained abstinence at 9-12 weeks was 42.2%. For the frequency of APP use, 20.9% (39/187) of the participants used it≥6 days per week, 62.0% (116/187) used it 2-5 days per week, and 17.1% (32/187) used it≤1 day per week. Multivariate analysis showed that smoking cessation rate was associated with smoking duration, cigarettes smoked per day and frequency of APP use. Participants with higher frequency of APP use had a higher likelihood of quitting smoking ( OR=4.95, 95% CI: 1.32-18.63). Conclusion:The increased frequency of mobile smoking cessation APP use is associated with higher probability of quitting smoking in smoking cessation clinic.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo understand the vaccination situation of non-national immunization program （non-NIP） vaccines in Changning District， and to provide evidence for further strengthening the management of vaccination services and guiding community health service centers to construct vaccination clinics for children and adults. MethodsNumber of non-NIP vaccine doses in community health service centers， Changning District， was collected from Shanghai Immunization Information System from 2016 to 2020. Descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted. ResultsIn 2020， the overall number of non-NIP vaccine doses， proportion of non-NIP vaccine doses and average number of non-NIP vaccine doses in the community health service centers， Changning District， reached up to 115 361 doses， 63.41% and 1 664.54 per10 000 persons， respectively. Furthermore， the proportion of non-NIP vaccine doses showed a significantly upward trend （χtrend2=131.110， P<0.01）. The number of non-NIP vaccine doses increased mostly in adults aged >18 years. Human papillomavirus vaccines （HPV） and influenza vaccines （InfV） had the highest increase in vaccine doses. Additionally， non-NIP vaccination peaked from September to December in adults. ConclusionAlong with the number of non-NIP vaccine doses increase， it is necessary to strengthen the management of non-NIP vaccination and explore effective measures for construction of adult vaccination clinics to meet the public demand for vaccination.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the application and effect of signature verification technology in children's vaccination clinics (CVC) of Jiangsu Province in 2020. Methods The signature verification data were derived from the Jiangsu Provincial Vaccination Integrated Service Management Information System, and the inquiry and registration, informed consent, vaccine traceability code scanning and observation information of children's vaccination clinics in different regions were analyzed. 210 doses of vaccination information were randomly selected from CVCs in each county, and the length of vaccination services in different regions was compared. Results During 2020, all of CVCs in Jiangsu were equipped with signature verification technology, and the signature verification rate of each vaccination sector was more than 99.90%. The length of outpatient vaccination service and overall length of stay in southern Jiangsu were slightly shorter than those in other regions. Conclusion The introduction of electronic signature verification technology in CVCs can effectively standardize the vaccination.

@#Introduction: Older persons are more susceptible to malnutrition. However, malnutrition identification through nutrition screening is not routinely performed in Malaysia’s health clinics due to no specific nutrition screening guideline and validated tool in this setting. This study aimed to develop a nutrition screening guideline for older patients and assess its feasibility for use by healthcare staff in health clinic setting. Methods: This study was conducted in three phases. In Phase I, needs assessment was conducted amongst healthcare staff. Development of nutrition screening guideline in Phase II involved scoping review and validation amongst six experts and twelve healthcare staff. In Phase III, twenty-two healthcare staff participated in feasibility assessment using in-depth interviews after completing nutrition screening in older patients. Interview data was analysed thematically using NVivo Software 12.0. Results: A Malay language version of nutrition screening guideline in A4-sized with 31 pages was developed and validated. Items with a content validity index ≥0.83 from experts review were retained, while <0.83 were revised accordingly. Validation amongst healthcare staff showed positive responses. The guideline was then assessed for feasibility, where 110 older patients (mean age= 68.7±6.1 years) were screened by healthcare staff using the newly developed nutrition screening guideline. Four themes emerged from in-depth interviews: 1) Ease of use; 2) Identification and management of malnutrition; 3) Acceptability; and 4) Implementation of nutrition screening. Conclusion: The newly developed and validated nutrition screening guideline is well-accepted and feasible for healthcare staff to screen older patients in health clinic setting for timely malnutrition identification and management.
ABSTRACT
Resumo Fundamento Estudos anteriores revelaram alto risco de eventos tromboembólicos arteriais e venosos como consequência de danos virais diretos do SARS-CoV-2 em células endoteliais e um meio procoagulante devido ao aumento de biomarcadores como o D-dímero, fibrinogênio, fator VIII. Foram realizados ensaios controlados randomizados de terapias antitrombóticas em pacientes internados, no entanto, poucos estudos avaliaram o papel da tromboprofilaxia no ambiente ambulatorial. Objetivo Avaliar se a profilaxia antitrombótica com rivaroxabana reduz o risco de eventos trombóticos venosos ou arteriais, suporte ventilatório invasivo e morte em pacientes ambulatoriais com COVID-19. Métodos O estudo CARE é um ensaio randomizado, aberto, multicêntrico e controlado por rivaroxabana 10 mg uma vez por dia durante 14 dias ou tratamento local padrão isolado, para a prevenção de resultados adversos, registrado no Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04757857). Os critérios de inclusão são adultos com infecção confirmada ou suspeita do SARS-CoV-2, com sintomas leves ou moderados, sem indicação de hospitalização, no prazo de 7 dias após o início dos sintomas e um fator de risco de complicação da COVID-19 (>65 anos, hipertensão, diabetes, asma, doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica ou outras doenças pulmonares crônicas, tabagismo, imunossupressão ou obesidade). O desfecho primário composto inclui tromboembolismo venoso, necessidade de ventilação mecânica invasiva, eventos cardiovasculares agudos maiores e mortalidade no prazo de 30 dias após a randomização, sendo avaliado segundo o princípio da intenção de tratar. Todos os pacientes assinaram termo de consentimento. Foi estabelecido um nível de significância de 5% para todos os testes estatísticos. Resultados Os principais desfechos trombóticos e hemorrágicos, hospitalizações e mortes serão avaliados centralmente por um comitê de eventos clínicos independente, sob a condição cega para a alocação dos grupos de tratamento. Conclusão O estudo CARE fornecerá informação relevante e contemporânea sobre o possível papel da tromboprofilaxia em pacientes ambulatoriais com COVID-19.
Abstract Background Previous studies have demonstrated a high risk of arterial and venous thromboembolic events as a consequence of direct viral damage to endothelial cells by SARS-CoV-2 and a procoagulant milieu due to increased biomarkers, such as D-dimer, fibrinogen, and factor VIII. Although randomized controlled trials of antithrombotic therapies have been conducted in hospitalized patients, few have evaluated the role of thromboprophylaxis in an outpatient setting. Objective To assess whether antithrombotic prophylaxis with rivaroxaban reduces the risk of venous or arterial thrombotic events, invasive ventilatory support, and death in COVID-19 outpatients. Methods The COVID Antithrombotic Rivaroxaban Evaluation (CARE) study, a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled trial of rivaroxaban 10 mg once daily for 14 days or local standard treatment alone to prevent adverse outcomes, is registered in clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04757857). The inclusion criteria are adults with confirmed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection and mild or moderate symptoms without indication for hospitalization, within 7 days of symptom onset, and 1 risk factor for COVID-19 complication (> 65 years, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other chronic lung diseases, smoking, immunosuppression, or obesity). The primary composite endpoint, which includes venous thromboembolism, invasive mechanical ventilation, major acute cardiovascular events, and mortality within 30 days of randomization, will be assessed according to the intention-to-treat principle. All patients will provide informed consent. A significance level of 5% will be used for all statistical tests. Results Major thrombotic and bleeding outcomes, hospitalizations, and deaths will be centrally adjudicated by an independent clinical events committee blinded to the assigned treatment groups. Conclusion The CARE study will provide relevant and contemporary information about the potential role of thromboprophylaxis in outpatients with COVID-19.
