Factors associated with the time to treat breast cancer in the pandemic period: an observational study.

OBJECTIVES: to analyze the factors associated with the time to surgical treatment for breast cancer in patients seen at a reference mastology outpatient clinic in the State of Ceará. METHODS: analytical, longitudinal study with medical charts from the Mastology Outpatient Clinic of Assis Chateaubriand Maternity School. We used 140 medical charts of breast cancer patients with surgeries performed during the pandemic. RESULTS: the study evidenced associations between schooling and shorter time to treatment in patients who underwent biopsy before the first outpatient visit (p = 0.026; OR: 0.16; CI = 0.03-0.85); in the group who had the biopsy performed by the outpatient clinic, was associated the type of tumor (p = 0.019) and neoadjuvant therapy (p = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS: the lesser educational level, tumor type, and use of neoadjuvant therapy were factors associated with the time to treatment during the pandemic period.

Associação entre características sociodemográficas e adesão à detecção precoce do câncer de mama / Association between sociodemographic characteristics and adherence to early detection of breast cancer

RESUMO Objetivo verificar a associação entre as características sociodemográficas e a realização das ações de detecção precoce do câncer de mama. Métodos estudo transversal, realizado em seis unidades de atenção primária à saúde, com 400 mulheres consideradas população-alvo para ações de detecção precoce do câncer de mama. Para análise inferencial foi utilizado o Teste de Qui-quadrado de Independência (2x2). Resultados a maioria das mulheres estava entre 60 e 64 anos, eram casadas, com baixa escolaridade, sem ocupação ou plano de saúde. Foi encontrada associação significativa entre o estado civil e o intervalo entre a solicitação e a realização da mamografia (X 2 (1)= 208,185, p<0,001, Phi-coefficient = 0,902; Intervalo de Confiança: 0,0308-0,0928). Mulheres sem companheiro apresentaram prevalência 0,95 vezes maior de realizar mamografia. Conclusão houve associação da variável sociodemográfica estado civil com a realização da mamografia, em um intervalo menor de tempo, tendo como fator de proteção não possuir companheiro. Contribuições para a prática a elucidação de fatores que podem estar relacionados com a realização das ações para rastreio do câncer de mama pode sinalizar para os profissionais de saúde as pacientes que necessitam de uma maior vigilância no que concerne à presença de sinais e sintomas sugestivos do câncer de mama.

ABSTRACT Objective to verify the association between sociodemographic characteristics and the performance of actions for early detection of breast cancer. Methods a cross-sectional study was carried out in six primary health care units, with 400 women considered a target population for actions for early detection of breast cancer. The Chi-square test of independence (2x2) was used for inferential analysis. Results most women were between 60 and 64 years old, married, had low education and lacked an occupation or health insurance. A significant association was found between marital status and the interval between requesting and performing a mammogram (X 2 (1) = 208.185, p<0.001, Phi-coefficient= 0.902; Confidence Interval: 0.0308-0.0928). Women without a partner had a 0.95 times higher prevalence of having a mammogram. Conclusion there was an association between the sociodemographic variable marital status and the performance of mammography in a shorter period, and not having a partner was a protective factor. Contributions to practice the elucidation of factors related to the performance of actions for breast cancer screening can signal patients who need greater vigilance regarding the presence of signs and symptoms suggestive of breast cancer.

Effects of COVID-19 Infection during Pregnancy and Neonatal Prognosis: What Is the Evidence?

BACKGROUND: This study's aims are to assess the current evidence presented in the literature regarding the potential risks of COVID-19 infection among pregnant women and consequent fetal transmission. METHODS: a systematic literature review assessing papers published in the most comprehensive databases in the field of health intended to answer the question, "What are the effects of COVID-19 infection during pregnancy, and what is the neonatal prognosis?" RESULTS: 49 papers published in 2020 were eligible, presenting low levels of evidence. A total of 755 pregnant women and 598 infants were assessed; more than half of pregnant women had C-sections (379/65%). Only 493 (82%) infants were tested for SARS-CoV-2, nine (2%) of whom tested positive. There is, however, no evidence of vertical transmission based on what has been assessed so far, considering there are knowledge gaps concerning the care provided during and after delivery, as well as a lack of suitable biological samples for testing SARS-CoV-2. CONCLUSIONS: We cannot rule out potential worsening of the clinical conditions of pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2, whether the infection is associated with comorbidities or not, due to the occurrence of respiratory disorders, cardiac rhythm disturbances, and acid-base imbalance, among others. We recommend relentless monitoring of all pregnant women in addition to testing them before delivery or the first contact with newborns.

Professional skills for health promotion in caring for tuberculosis patients.

OBJECTIVES: to understand the health promotion skills found in the speeches of health practitioners in care for TB patients. METHODS: qualitative study, developed with seven practitioners involved in care for TB patients, identified from a sociocentric approach, whose speeches were submitted to analysis based on the health promotion skills model in the Galway Consensus. RESULTS: there were four domains: Catalyzing change; Leadership; Planning; and Partnerships. These domains resulted from health education actions, contribution of management nursing practitioners, seeking to meet patients' needs and articulation of professional sectors. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: there were some skill domains in the speeches of health practitioners, with the nurse being quoted in the development of essential skills for health promotion activities, such as catalyzing change and leading care for TB patients.

The Revised Champion's Health Belief Model Scale: Predictive Validity Among Brazilian Women.

Mammography screening is provided free of charge for the recommended target population in Brazil but participation rates have remained low, and breast cancer mortality has continued to increase. Thus, it is important to identify factors that are associated with poor participation in mammography screening so that service providers can target health promotion messages and screening programs more effectively. Objective: To evaluate the predictive validity of the Revised Champion's Health Belief Model scale (RCHBMS) for identifying women at high risk of not adhering to national guidelines for mammography screening in Brazil. Methods: We used a longitudinal survey design with a 1-year follow-up data from 194 women living in northeastern Brazil, in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, participants completed the RCHBMS at baseline, and mammography uptake was measured 1 year later. Hierarchical logistic regression was used to determine the predictive validity of the RCHBMS for identifying women who had not adhered to recommendations for mammography screening, after accounting for the women's sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. The sensitivity and specificity of various cut-off points were calculated to determine the optimal cut-off point for identifying women at high risk of not adhering to mammography screening guidelines. Results: Two subscales of the RCHBMS uniquely predicted nonadherence: susceptibility and barriers, along with race and family history of cancer. The total scale score (with barriers reverse coded) was also highly predictive. For our sample, using only the RCHBMS with a cutoff of ≤ 3.67 (out of a total possible range of 1-5) yielded a high sensitivity and specificity for predicting nonadherence. Conclusion: Study findings support the validity and clinical utility of the RCHBM for identifying women at risk of not adhering to national guidelines for mammography screening in Brazil.

Accuracy of the Defining Characteristics of the Sexual Dysfunction Nursing Diagnosis in Women with Breast Cancer.

PURPOSE: To analyze the accuracy of the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis of sexual dysfunction in women undergoing pharmacological treatment for breast cancer. METHODS: A cross-sectional accuracy study with statistical analysis. FINDINGS: Alteration in sexual satisfaction was the defining characteristic with the highest sensitivity value, while perceived sexual limitation was the defining characteristic with the highest value for both sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSIONS: Perceived sexual limitation is a good clinical indicator to infer initial stages of sexual dysfunction and to confirm its presence. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Accurate diagnostics allow devising an action plan directed to the patients' real needs, helping prescribe and deliver the appropriate nursing interventions.

Assessment of the preparation and administration of oral medications to institutionalized children.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the preparation and administration of oral medications to institutionalized children by nursing professionals. METHOD: quantitative study, developed from August to September 2016, in a shelter in Fortaleza, Ceará. 323 observations of preparation and administration of oral drugs were carried out. Interview and non-participant direct observation of the process of drug administration were performed, whose data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. RESULTS: Of the 29 actions of preparation and administration of the drugs, ten were considered satisfactory. Sanitizing of hands before touching the pills occurred in only 5.2% of the observations and cleansing of the bottle for liquid drugs was performed in 23.8%. The actions "check the right child"; "checking medication with the prescription", and "check the right dose" obtained percentages below 15%. CONCLUSION: measures recommended by the literature for the administration of medication were not, in their clear majority, followed, making specific training and protocols necessary.
