RESUMO
The aim of the present study was to map the available evidence on the mental health risk factors of frontline health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a systematic review that followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria. The search was independently carried out by four researchers, following the selection criteria in the electronic databases: PubMed Central, Ovid Technologies, GALE Academic Onefile, Science Citation Index Expanded. The data processing used Zotero software, responsible for creating and importing items according to the criteria established by the research. A total of 18,733 articles were found, of which 2,722 were excluded by the Zotero software because they were in duplicate, and another 366 were manually excluded. After applying the selection criteria, 43 articles entered the final analysis of this review. It is recommended that new scientific research be carried out, especially focusing on the analysis of health workers' mental health, aiming at providing the basis to create and implement public mental health programs and policies for workers.

RESUMO
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of inherited neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) in eight communities in Northeast (NE) Brazil in which there was an elevated rate of inbreeding. A cross-sectional epidemiological study, using the key informant (KI) approach, was performed to estimate the prevalence of NMD among the 48,499 individuals living in these eight communities, located in the backlands of the Paraíba State. Twenty-seven individuals fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for inherited NMD, which means that 1 out of 1,796 inhabitants of this highly consanguineous population was affected by NMD. This is twofold higher than that observed in previous studies in general population and was probably due to a combination of genetic drift and inbreeding. Public policies should be implemented to offer genetics services in high-risk communities.
RESUMO
The population of the northeast of Brazil is characterized by high rates of endogamy and disabilities. An epidemiological cross-sectional study using the informant method was conducted in eight communities in the hinterlands of Paraiba to describe genetic and acquired diseases that cause disabilities and to estimate the costs of specialized services such as physiotherapy and the acquisition of technological assistential equipment. From a population of 48,499 inhabitants, 338 individuals were screened and 123 (0.34%) were clinically, genetically and functionally assessed by a multidisciplinary team of specialists. Genetic factors were responsible for 58.5% of the disabilities, with some clusters of prevalent diseases being found within the sampled communities, namely progressive spinal muscular atrophy, spinocerebellar ataxia, muscular dystrophy and Spoan syndrome. The socioeconomic profile and the demand for rehabilitation services and technological assistance highlight the need to introduce and implement specific public health policies in these communities.

A síndrome Spoan é uma doença genética que associa paraparesia espástica, neuropatia axonal e atrofia óptica. Ao todo já foram registradas mais de 70 pessoas com essa síndrome em dez municípios dos estados do Rio Grande do Norte e Paraíba. Nesse estudo, o objetivo foi investigar a associação entre idade, nível de dependência e grau de satisfação com a cadeira de rodas usadas por 28 pessoas com essa síndrome. Foram aplicados instrumentos validados para avaliação da função motora, como o Índice de Barthel modificado; o Questionário de Avaliação da Satisfação do Usuário com a Tecnologia Assistiva de Quebec (QUEST 2.0) e o Formulário de Acompanhamento da Cadeira de Rodas para avaliar o grau de satisfação com equipamento de tecnologia assistiva. A maioria das pessoas com Spoan do sertão do nordeste brasileiro se encontra dependente de terceiros e necessita de cadeira de rodas concedidas pelos serviços públicos de saúde para a sua mobilidade. Essas pessoas têm pouco ou quase nenhum acesso aos serviços de atenção à saúde, incluindo os de reabilitação. E, embora satisfeitos com as cadeiras de rodas em uso, apontam dificuldades para o acompanhamento e monitoramento dos equipamentos, tanto quanto para aquisição de novas cadeira de rodas. O grau de satisfação não está relacionado à sua dependência funcional, mas sim à idade. Pessoas mais jovens mostraram-se mais satisfeitas com suas cadeiras de rodas
Spoan syndrome is a genetic disease that associates spastic paraparesis, axonal neuropathy and optical atrophy. In all, more than 70 people have been registered with this syndrome in ten municipalities in the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba. In this study, the objective was to investigate the association between age, level of dependence and degree of satisfaction with the wheelchair used by 28 people with this syndrome. Validated instruments were applied to assess motor function, such as the Modified Barthel Index; the Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0) and the Wheelchair Follow up forms to assess the degree of satisfaction with assistive technology. the Assistive Technology Assessment Questionnaire (QUEST 2.0) and the Wheelchair Follow-up Form. Most people with Spoan syndrome from the northeastern Brazilian hinterland are dependent on third parties and need wheelchairs granted by public health services for their mobility. These people have little or no access to health care services, including rehabilitation. And although they are satisfied with the wheelchairs in use, they point out difficulties in following up and monitoring the equipment, as well as in acquiring new wheelchairs. The degree of satisfaction is not related to their functional dependence, but to their age. Younger people were more satisfied with their wheelchairs
RESUMO
As populações do nordeste brasileiro possuem elevadas taxas de endogamia e deficiências. Neste trabalho, foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico transversal com método do informante para descrever doenças genéticas e as adquiridas que causam deficiências físicas em oito municípios da Paraíba e estimar os custos por serviços especializados de fisioterapia e aquisição de equipamentos de tecnologia assistiva. De uma população de 48.499 habitantes, 338 pessoas foram triadas e 123 (0,34%) realizaram avaliação clínico-genética e funcional por uma equipe multidisciplinar de especialistas. Fatores genéticos foram responsáveis por 58,5% das deficiências, sendo encontrados alguns agrupamentos de afecções prevalentes nas populações amostradas: amiotrofia espinal progressiva, ataxia espinocerebelar, distrofia muscular e síndrome Spoan. A descrição do perfil socioeconômico e das demandas por serviços de reabilitação e tecnologia assistiva apontam para necessidade de estabelecimento de políticas públicas específicas para essas comunidades.

O Programa de Concessão de Órteses e Próteses do Estado Rio Grande do Norte foi reestruturado por uma equipe de terapeutas ocupacionais e fisioterapeutas especializados em tecnologia assistiva, que contam com um showroom de equipamentos para dar suporte na realização de prescrições e avaliações de forma individualizada, permitindo a entrega de equipamentos específicos. O programa também possui outros profissionais, como técnicos de oficinas ortopédicas, que fazem o trabalho de ajuste e adaptações das cadeiras de rodas, quando necessário, e assistentes sociais, que seguem todos os processos burocráticos de documentação e de compra das cadeiras de rodas, levando a um fluxo contínuo de entrega de equipamentos ao longo do ano. Esse tipo de organização estrutural pode ser considerado diferenciado do de outros estados. Neste trabalho, um estudo foi promovido para caracterizar a demanda de dispositivos de assistência para locomoção como, por exemplo, cadeiras de rodas, e descrever o processo de licitação e entrega do Programa de Concessão de Órteses e Próteses do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte. O estudo foi conduzido após informações dos últimos três anos do processo de entrega de cadeira de rodas desse programa terem sido analisadas e correlacionadas. Com o fim de promover a inclusão social das pessoas com deficiência, são discutidas a estrutura organizacional, o funcionamento e as facilidades apresentadas.
The Orthesis and Prosthesis Grant Program from Rio Grande do Norte State was restructured by a team of occupational and physical therapists specialized in Assistive Technology. The sector has a showroom for the equipment, prepares prescriptions, and makes deliveries after individual assessment made by the team. The work is developed in conjunction with orthopedic workshop technicians to adjust and adapt the wheelchairs when necessary. Social workers guide and follow the bureaucratic processes of documentation and purchasing, which allows the handing in of wheelchairs throughout the year. This program is considered distinctive compared to programs from other states. In this work, a study was conducted to characterize the demand for locomotion assistance devices, such as wheelchairs, and describe the delivery and acquisition process of the Orthesis and Prosthesis Grant Program from Rio Grande do Norte State. The study was carried out after analyzing and correlating information on the wheelchair delivery process in the past three years. A discussion on the organizational structure, operation, and acquisition facilities of this program is presented in order to promote the social inclusion of people with special needs.
