Research evidence communication for policy-makers: a rapid scoping review on frameworks, guidance and tools, and barriers and facilitators.

BACKGROUND: Communication is a multifaceted process, ranging from linear, one-way approaches, such as transmitting a simple message, to continuous exchanges and feedback loops among stakeholders. In particular the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical need for timely, effective and credible evidence communication to increase awareness, levels of trust, and evidence uptake in policy and practice. However, whether to improve policy responses in crises or address more commonplace societal challenges, comprehensive guidance on evidence communication to decision-makers in health policies and systems remains limited. Our objective was to identify and systematize the global evidence on frameworks, guidance and tools supporting effective communication of research evidence to facilitate knowledge translation and evidence-informed policy-making processes, while also addressing barriers and facilitators. METHODS: We conducted a rapid scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Manual. Literature searches were performed across eight indexed databases and two sources of grey literature, without language or time restrictions. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed, and a narrative-interpretative synthesis was applied to present the findings. RESULTS: We identified 16 documents presenting either complete frameworks or framework components, including guidance and tools, aimed at supporting evidence communication for policy development. These frameworks outlined strategies, theoretical models, barriers and facilitators, as well as insights into policy-makers' perspectives, communication needs, and preferences. Three primary evidence communication strategies, comprising eleven sub-strategies, emerged: "Health information packaging", "Targeting and tailoring messages to the audience", and "Combined communication strategies". Based on the documented barriers and facilitators at micro, meso and macro levels, critical factors for successful communication of evidence to policy-makers were identified. CONCLUSIONS: Effective communication is indispensable for facilitating knowledge translation and evidence-informed policy-making. Nonetheless gaps persist in frameworks designed to enhance research communication to policy-makers, particularly regarding the effectiveness of multiple communication strategies. To advance in this field, the development of comprehensive frameworks incorporating implementation strategies is warranted. Additionally, barriers and facilitators to implementing effective communication must be recognized and addressed taking diverse contexts into consideration.

Micronutrientes em pó: efetividade das estratégias de fortificação da alimentação de crianças menores de cinco anos / Powdered micronutrients: effectiveness of food fortification strategies for children under five years of age

Contexto - A alimentação inadequada nos primeiros anos de vida está associada à morbimortalidade de crianças, representada por doenças infecciosas, afecções respiratórias, cárie dental, desnutrição, excesso de peso e carências específicas de micronutrientes como de ferro, zinco e vitamina A. O Estudo Nacional de Alimentação e Nutrição Infantil (ENANI), realizado em 2019 com crianças brasileiras de até 5 anos, mostrou uma redução na prevalência de anemia de 20,9%, em 2006, para 10,1%, em 2019, com diferenças entre as regiões brasileiras. Evidências indicam que o fornecimento de alimentos complementares fortificados a crianças dos 6 aos 23 meses podem reduzir a anemia em 43% e aumentar as concentrações de hemoglobina de forma significativa. Pergunta - Qual é a efetividade das estratégias de fortificação de micronutrientes em pó (MNP) implementadas na alimentação de crianças de 6 meses até 59 meses? Métodos - As buscas por revisões sistemáticas (RS) foram realizadas em abril de 2024 nas bases de dados Lilacs - Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Pubmed, Embase e Epistemonikos. Nesta revisão rápida, apenas a seleção de estudos foi realizada em duplicidade e de modo independente. Resultados - As buscas resultaram em 109 registros recuperados. Após seleção por leitura de títulos e resumos, 17 RS elegíveis foram lidas na íntegra, das quais quatro foram incluídas. Os achados foram organizados de acordo com grupos de desfechos avaliados nos estudos: anemia e seus indicadores, estado nutricional, níveis séricos de micronutrientes, eventos adversos.

Context - Inadequate nutrition in the first years of life is associated with morbidity and mortality in children, represented by infectious diseases, respiratory conditions, dental caries, malnutrition, overweight and specific deficiencies of micronutrients such as iron, zinc and vitamin A. The National Study of Child Feeding and Nutrition (ENANI), carried out in 2019 with Brazilian children up to 5 years old, showed a reduction in the prevalence of anemia from 20.9%, in 2006, to 10.1%, in 2019, with differences between Brazilian regions. Evidence indicates that providing fortified complementary foods to children aged 6 to 23 months can reduce anemia by 43% and significantly increase hemoglobin concentrations. Question - How effective are the strategies for fortifying powdered micronutrients (MNP) implemented in the diets of children aged 6 months to 59 months? Methods - Searches for systematic reviews (SRs) were conducted in April 2024 in the databases Lilacs - Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Pubmed, Embase and Epistemonikos. In this rapid review, only the selection of studies was performed in duplicate and independently. Results - The searches resulted in 109 retrieved records. After selection by reading titles and abstracts, 17 eligible SRs were read in full, of which four were included. The findings were organized according to groups of outcomes evaluated in the studies: anemia and its indicators, nutritional status, serum micronutrient levels, adverse events.

Coletânea de Respostas Rápidas-Turma 1: programa educacional em vigilância em saúde no enfrentamento da COVID-19 e de outras doenças virais VigiEpidemia / Collection of Rapid Responses-Class 1: educational program in health surveillance in coping with COVID-19 and other viral diseases VigiEpidemia

Coletânea dedicada aos estudos das respostas rápidas do Programa Educacional em Vigilância em Saúde no enfrentamento da COVID-19 e outras Doenças Virais (VigiEpidemia). Esse tema é de extrema relevância e atualidade em nosso contexto da saúde global e na resposta as emergências em saúde pública (ESP) de forma geral. As ESP, que englobam surtos e epidemias, desastres e desassistência à população, representam desafios complexos que exigem respostas ágeis e eficazes por parte das autoridades sanitárias, profissionais da saúde e comunidades como um todo. Até o momento, a pandemia de COVID-19 foi a maior ESP do Século XXI. Ela serviu como um lembrete doloroso da vulnerabilidade da humanidade diante da ameaça de doenças virais. Esta ESP, que teve resposta catastrófica em diversos momentos, evidenciou a importância do investimento em preparação, vigilância e resposta, destacando a necessidade de sistemas de vigilância robustos, colaboração internacional, Inteligência epidemiológica e comunicação transparente para mitigar o impacto devastador das doenças infecciosas na sociedade. As lições aprendidas com a pandemia de COVID-19 são vastas e multifacetadas. A importância da pesquisa, da educação em saúde e do desenvolvimento de vacinas foi evidenciada como uma prioridade crucial na proteção da saúde pública mundial. O investimento em pesquisas e em cursos para formação de profissionais que possam estar atentos as mudanças nos padrões e comportamentos das doenças infecciosas, além de atuar na resposta rápida quando necessário, é fundamental para estarmos preparados para as futuras pandemias. A vacinação, por exemplo, sempre foi uma das ferramentas mais poderosas para evitar surtos e epidemias e, durante a pandemia de COVID-19, ajudou a controlar os óbitos pela doença e possibilitou que voltássemos a ter uma vida normal. Além da vacina contra COVID-19, as vacinas de influenza e dengue também são exemplos notáveis de avanços científicos que desempenham um papel fundamental na prevenção de futuras ESP. Ao explorar os diversos aspectos da resposta, monitoramento e controle de surtos, epidemias e pandemias, esta coletânea visa fornecer uma compreensão abrangente dos desafios enfrentados, das melhores práticas e das estratégias eficazes para mitigar os impactos adversos desses eventos. Espera-se que este trabalho não apenas informe e eduque, mas também inspire ações concretas para fortalecer a recuperação e resiliência dos sistemas de saúde e proteger o bem-estar das comunidades mais vulneráveis do nosso pais.

A collection dedicated to the study of rapid responses by the Educational Program in Health Surveillance in addressing COVID-19 and other Viral Diseases (VigiEpidemia). This theme is of utmost relevance and timeliness in our context of global health and in responding to public health emergencies (PHE) in general. PHEs, which encompass outbreaks and epidemics, disasters, and neglect of the population, represent complex challenges that require swift and effective responses from health authorities, healthcare professionals, and communities as a whole. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has been the largest PHE of the 21st century. It served as a painful reminder of humanity's vulnerability in the face of viral disease threats. This PHE, which had catastrophic responses at various times, highlighted the importance of investing in preparedness, surveillance, and response, underscoring the need for robust surveillance systems, international collaboration, epidemiological intelligence, and transparent communication to mitigate the devastating impact of infectious diseases on society. The lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic are vast and multifaceted. The importance of research, health education, and vaccine development was highlighted as a crucial priority in protecting global public health. Investing in research and training courses to prepare professionals who can be attentive to changes in the patterns and behaviors of infectious diseases and act quickly when needed is essential to be prepared for future pandemics. Vaccination, for example, has always been one of the most powerful tools to prevent outbreaks and epidemics, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, it helped control disease-related deaths and allowed us to return to a normal life. In addition to the COVID-19 vaccine, influenza and dengue vaccines are also notable examples of scientific advancements that play a key role in preventing future PHEs. By exploring the various aspects of response, monitoring, and control of outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics, this collection aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced, best practices, and effective strategies to mitigate the adverse impacts of these events. It is hoped that this work will not only inform and educate but also inspire concrete actions to strengthen the recovery and resilience of health systems and protect the well-being of the most vulnerable communities in our country.

Reproduction in cisgender same-sex couples: a scoping review. / Reprodução em casais homoafetivos cisgêneros: uma revisão de escopo.

The aim of this article is to present the state of the art, in the field of public health, on cis homoparental reproduction, from 28 studies addressing barriers to reproduction by homoparental couples for legal, ethical, technical or economic reasons, in addition to prejudice and discrimination. Six studies addressed facilitators, such as receptiveness in services, availability of conception and contraceptive methods and training of health professionals. The results show that the discussion has focused more on the barriers than on the facilitating factors. This may indicate a continuing need to problematise the hegemonic model of a heterosexual, nuclear family.

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o estado da arte sobre a reprodução homoparental cis no campo da saúde coletiva. Vinte e oito estudos abordam barreiras para a reprodução de casais homoparentais relacionadas a questões legais, éticas, técnicas e econômicas, além de preconceito e discriminação. Seis abordam facilitadores, tais como acolhimento nos serviços, disponibilidade de métodos conceptivos e contraceptivos e a capacitação de profissionais. Os achados evidenciam que a discussão se volta mais para as barreiras do que para os facilitadores. Isso pode indicar que ainda se faz necessário promover a problematização do modelo hegemônico de família nuclear e heterossexual.

Cadastro único: acompanhamento das condicionalidades de saúde para grupos específicos / Single Registry (Cadastro único): monitoring health conditions for specific groups

CONTEXTO - O Cadastro Único (Cad-único) é o meio pelo qual o governo faz o mapeamento das famílias de baixa renda no Brasil, para que elas possam receber benefícios sociais. As famílias participantes assumem compromissos de condicionalidade nas áreas de saúde, assistência social e educação. As condicionalidades de saúde incluem: realização de pré-natal; cumprimento do calendário nacional de vacinação; acompanhamento do estado nutricional, para os beneficiários que tenham até 7 anos de idade incompletos. PERGUNTA - Os grupos específicos do Cad-único (quilombolas, indígenas, ciganos, extrativistas, famílias com pessoas presas no sistema carcerário, catadores, pessoas em situação de rua, ribeirinha, etc) estão sendo acompanhados nas condicionalidades de saúde? MÉTODOS - As buscas dos estudos foram realizadas em novembro de 2023 nas bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, Google Acadêmico. Apenas o processo de seleção de estudos recuperados foi realizado em duplicidade e de modo independente. Não foi realizada avaliação da qualidade metodológica dos estudos incluídos. RESULTADOS - De 273 registros identificados, 4 estudos foram incluídos. Todos os estudos relataram experiências com relação aos povos indígenas, incluindo acompanhamento nutricional (n=1), vacinação (n=2), peso (n=1) e acompanhamento da saúde (n=1) de crianças, acompanhamento de gestantes e nutrizes (n=1), e condicionalidades não especificadas (n=3). Os estudos revelam uma série de inadequações do programa para essa população, indicando a necessidade de reformular o modo de oferta do benefício e seu monitoramento, de incorporar a Secretaria Especial de Saúde Indígena (SESAI) nas atividades locais em saúde, de considerar as especificidades dos modos de vida dos povos indígenas (e sua relação com a terra, as florestas e os rios), de enfrentar o racismo institucional, de estabelecer condições mínimas para a conquista da autonomia individual. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS - Os estudos apontam alguns avanços com a inclusão dos povos indígenas nos programas de transferência de renda. Porém, muitos desafios precisam ser superados, apontando para a necessidade de desenvolver ações culturalmente apropriadas. Observa-se uma importante lacuna de conhecimento quanto ao acompanhamento dos grupos específicos do Cad-único.

CONTEXT - The Single Registry (Cad-único) is the means by which the government maps low-income families in Brazil, so that they can receive social benefits. Participating families make conditionality commitments in the areas of health, social assistance and education. Health conditions include: prenatal care; compliance with the national vaccination calendar; monitoring of nutritional status, for beneficiaries who are up to 7 years of age. QUESTION - Are specific Cad-único groups (quilombolas, indigenous people, gypsies, extractivists, families with people imprisoned in the prison system, collectors, homeless people, riverside people, etc.) being monitored in terms of health conditions? METHODS - Searches for studies were carried out in November 2023 in the Virtual Health Library, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, and Google Scholar databases. Only the selection process of retrieved studies was carried out in duplicate and independently. No assessment of the methodological quality of the included studies was carried out. RESULTS - Of 273 records identified, 4 studies were included. All studies reported experiences in relation to indigenous peoples, including nutritional monitoring (n=1), vaccination (n=2), weight (n=1) and health monitoring (n=1) of children, monitoring of pregnant women and nursing mothers (n=1), and unspecified conditionalities (n=3). The studies reveal a series of inadequacies in the program for this population, indicating the need to reformulate the way the benefit is offered and its monitoring, to incorporate the Special Secretariat for Indigenous Health (SESAI) in local health activities, to consider the specificities of ways of life of indigenous peoples (and their relationship with the land, forests and rivers), of confronting institutional racism, of establishing minimum conditions for the achievement of individual autonomy. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS - Studies point to some progress with the inclusion of indigenous peoples in income transfer programs. However, many challenges need to be overcome, pointing to the need to develop culturally appropriate actions. There is an important gap in knowledge regarding the monitoring of specific Cad-único groups.

Homoparenting as a public health issue: a scoping review.

OBJECTIVE: To map global scientific production on homoparenting in the field of collective health or public health. METHODS: In terms of methodological procedures, a scoping review was carried out, guided by the following question: What are the aspects addressed in global scientific production regarding homoparental families in the field of collective or public health? The searches were carried out in seven sources of scientific literature, including 58 studies, involving scientific articles and dissertations. The analytical treatment given to the studies, most of which were qualitative, followed the content analysis technique in the thematic modality. RESULTS: The results indicate that the perceptions of homosexuals and professionals about the care provided and health services in general was the topic addressed by the largest number of studies (n = 31), followed by heteronormative context of health services (n = 26); disclosure of sexual orientation (n = 20); fertilization (n = 14); educational information and actions (n = 5). CONCLUSION: Although the issue of same-sex parenthood has been discussed in some health sectors, there is awareness that it is necessary to rely on a consolidated basis through numerous studies when discussing this issue. It is concluded that, among other aspects, the scope of this review is not sufficiently problematized within the scope of health professionals' training and performance.

An evidence-informed policymaking (EIPM) competency profile for the Brazilian Health System developed through consensus: process and outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Evidence-informed policymaking (EIPM) requires a set of individual and organizational knowledge, skills and attitudes that should be articulated with background factors and needs. In this regard, the development of an EIPM competency profile is important to support the diagnosis, planning and implementation of EIPM. PURPOSE: To present the process and outcomes of the development of an EIPM competency profile by an expert committee, to be applied in different contexts of the Brazilian Health System. METHODS: A committee of experts in EIPM shared different views, experiences and opinions to develop an EIPM competency profile for Brazil. In six consensus workshops mediated by facilitators, the committee defined from macro problems to key actions and performances essential for the competency profile. The development steps consisted of: (1) Constitution of the committee, including researchers, professionals with practical experience, managers, and educators; (2) Development of a rapid review on EIPM competency profiles; (3) Agreement on commitments and responsibilities in the processes; (4) Identification and definition of macro problems relating to the scope of the competency profile; and (5) Outlining of general and specific capacities, to be incorporated into the competency profile, categorized by key actions. RESULTS: The development of the EIPM competency profile was guided by the following macro problems: (1) lack of systematic and transparent decision-making processes in health policy management; (2) underdeveloped institutional capacity for knowledge management and translation; and (3) incipient use of scientific evidence in the formulation and implementation of health policies. A general framework of key actions and performances of the EIPM Competency Profile for Brazil was developed, including 42 specific and general key actions distributed by area of activity (Health Management, Scientific Research, Civil Society, Knowledge Translation, and Cross-sectional areas). CONCLUSIONS: The competency profile presented in this article can be used in different contexts as a key tool for the institutionalization of EIPM.

Contexto: As famílias participantes do Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) assumem compromissos de condicionalidade na área de saúde, com a finalidade de promover o acesso aos direitos fundamentais básicos. As ações básicas ofertadas compreendem o pré-natal das gestantes, o acompanhamento do crescimento e desenvolvimento infantil e a imunização das crianças menores de 7 anos. Essas famílias podem ter maior dificuldade de acessar e frequentar serviços de saúde, e as condicionalidades podem garantir a oferta das ações básicas, e potencializar a melhoria da qualidade de vida. Desse modo, é necessário conhecer as barreiras que impedem as famílias beneficiadas do PBF cumprirem com as condicionalidades de saúde. Pergunta: Quais são as principais barreiras encontradas pelos beneficiários do Programa Bolsa Família que impedem ou dificultam o cumprimento das condicionalidades de saúde? Métodos: As buscas de estudos foram realizadas em maio de 2023, na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, no Google Acadêmico e na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações. Utilizando atalhos de revisão rápida, apenas a seleção de estudos foi realizada em duplicata e de modo independente. Não foi realizada a avaliação da qualidade metodológica dos estudos incluídos. Resultados: De 1.438 registros identificados nas buscas das bases de dados, 9 estudos foram incluídos. As barreiras foram categorizadas como: barreiras ao acesso aos serviços de saúde (relacionadas ao próprio serviço ou a questões de vulnerabilidade social) e barreiras de comunicação. Considerações finais: Os estudos incluídos apontaram diversas barreiras ao cumprimento das condicionalidades de saúde do PBF pelas(os) beneficiárias(os). De modo geral, eles analisaram o significado do programa a partir da perspectiva de beneficiárias. Nenhum estudo objetivou diretamente avaliar barreiras ao cumprimento das condicionalidades.

Context: Families participating in the Bolsa Família Program (PBF) assume conditionality commitments in the health area, with the aim of promoting access to basic fundamental rights. The basic actions offered include prenatal care for pregnant women, monitoring of child growth and development and immunization of children under 7 years old. These families may have greater difficulty accessing and attending health services, and conditionalities can guarantee the provision of basic actions, and enhance the improvement of quality of life. Thus, it is necessary to know the barriers that prevent families benefiting from the PBF from complying with health conditionalities. Question: What are the main barriers encountered by beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Program that prevent or hinder compliance with health conditionalities? Methods: Searches for studies were carried out in May 2023, in the Virtual Health Library, in Google Scholar and in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. Using rapid review shortcuts, only the selection of studies was performed in duplicate and independently. The evaluation of the methodological quality of the included studies was not carried out. Results: Of 1,438 records identified in database searches, 9 studies were included. Barriers were categorized as: barriers to accessing health services (related to the service itself or issues of social vulnerability) and communication barriers. Final considerations: The included studies pointed out several barriers to the fulfillment of PBF health conditionalities by beneficiaries. Overall, they analyzed the meaning of the program from the perspective of female beneficiaries. No study directly aimed to assess barriers to compliance with conditionalities.

Bacterial, fungal and parasitic co-infections in leprosy: A scoping review.

BACKGROUND: In leprosy patients, the most commonly reported non-viral co-infections are Tuberculosis, Leishmaniasis, Chromoblastomycosis and Helminths. The presence of a secondary infection is believed to increase the likelihood of leprosy reactions. The purpose of this review was to describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the most reported bacterial, fungal, and parasitic co-infections in leprosy. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Following the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted by two independent reviewers, resulting in the inclusion of 89 studies. For tuberculosis, a total of 211 cases were identified, with a median age of 36 years and male predominance (82%). Leprosy was the initial infection in 89% of cases, 82% of individuals had multibacillary disease, and 17% developed leprosy reactions. For leishmaniasis, 464 cases were identified, with a median age of 44 years and male predominance (83%). Leprosy was the initial infection in 44% of cases, 76% of individuals presented with multibacillary disease, and 18% developed leprosy reactions. Regarding chromoblastomycosis, we identified 19 cases with a median age of 54 years and male predominance (88%). Leprosy was the primary infection in 66% of cases, 70% of individuals had multibacillary disease, and 35% developed leprosy reactions. Additionally, we found 151 cases of co-infection with leprosy and helminths, with a median age of 43 years and male predominance (68%). Leprosy was the primary infection in 66% of cases, and 76% of individuals presented with multibacillary disease, while the occurrence of leprosy reactions varied from 37% to 81% across studies. CONCLUSION: We observed a male-dominated pattern of co-infections among working-age individuals with multibacillary leprosy. Unlike prior studies reporting increased leprosy reactions in chronic viral co-infections, our findings did not indicate any increase among bacterial, fungal, or parasitic co-infections. Rather, co-infections with tuberculosis and leishmaniasis appeared to reduce leprosy reactions.

[Telehealth, food consumption, and eating behavior in adults: a rapid review of systematic reviewsTelesalud, consumo de alimentos y comportamiento alimentario de la población adulta: examen rápido de revisiones sistemáticas]. / Telessaúde no consumo e comportamento alimentar em adultos: uma revisão rápida de revisões sistemáticas.

Objective: To synthesize the evidence about the effects of telehealth interventions provided through smart-phone apps and text messages on the behavior of adults regarding healthy food consumption. Method: A rapid systematic review of the literature was performed through searches in nine electronic databases to identify systematic reviews published in English, Portuguese, and Spanish that evaluated telehealth strategies compared to face-to-face interventions to improve dietary intake in the adult population (18 to 59 years old). Searches were performed in November 2020 and updated in April 2022. The included systematic reviews were assessed for methodological quality using the AMSTAR 2 tool. Results: Five systematic reviews were included. Methodological quality was moderate in one review and critically low in four. There was a dearth of studies comparing the use of telehealth strategies with face-to-face interventions for the promotion of healthy eating in adults. The most consistent results refer to an increase in the consumption of fruits and vegetables with the use of an app or text messages, in addition to improvement in the dietary habits of people with diabetes or glucose intolerance with the use of text messages. Conclusion: Positive effects were observed on healthy eating outcomes for most interventions using mobile apps or text messages; however, the findings refer to a few clinical trials with small samples that were analyzed in the systematic reviews covered in the present rapid review, most of which had low methodological quality. Thus, the current knowledge gap warrants the performance of further methodologically robust studies.

Objetivo: Sintetizar la evidencia sobre los efectos de las intervenciones de telesalud ofrecidas por medio de aplicaciones de telefonía móvil y mensajes de texto en el comportamiento de la población adulta relacionado con una alimentación saludable. Métodos: Se realizó un examen rápido mediante búsquedas en nueve bases bibliográficas electrónicas para localizar revisiones sistemáticas publicadas en español, inglés y portugués en las que se evaluaran estrategias de telesalud en comparación con atención presencial para mejorar la alimentación de la población adulta (de 18 a 59 años). Las búsquedas se realizaron en noviembre del 2020 y se actualizaron en abril del 2022. La calidad metodológica de las revisiones sistemáticas incluidas se evaluó con la herramienta AMSTAR 2. Resultados: Se incluyeron cinco revisiones sistemáticas, una con un grado de confianza moderado y las otras con un grado de confianza sumamente bajo. Se comprobó una falta de estudios en los que se compararan el uso de estrategias de telesalud con la atención presencial para promover la alimentación saludable de la población adulta. Los resultados más coherentes se refieren al aumento del consumo de frutas y verduras con el uso de aplicaciones móviles o de mensajes de texto, así como a la mejora del patrón alimentario de las personas con diabetes o con intolerancia a la glucosa con el uso de mensajes de texto. Conclusión: La mayoría de los análisis de las intervenciones en las que se emplearon aplicaciones de telefonía móvil o mensajes de texto mostraron efectos positivos en los resultados relativos a una alimentación saludable. Sin embargo, estos hallazgos se refieren a unos pocos ensayos clínicos con pequeñas muestras de participantes incluidos en las revisiones sistemáticas del presente examen rápido, en su mayoría de baja calidad metodológica. En conclusión, existe una laguna en los conocimientos y es importante realizar estudios con una metodología más sólida.

[Adherence, barriers, and facilitators for the treatment of systemic arterial hypertension: rapid review of evidenceAdhesión, obstáculos y elementos facilitadores en relación con el tratamiento de la hipertensión: revisión rápida de la evidencia]. / Adesão, barreiras e facilitadores no tratamento de hipertensão arterial: revisão rápida de evidências.

Objective: To identify strategies to increase adherence to systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) treatment and describe the barriers and facilitators for implementing these strategies in primary health care (PHC). Method: A rapid evidence review was performed. We included systematic reviews with or without meta-analyses, published in English, Spanish or Portuguese, covering adults (age 18 to ≤ 60 years) with SAH followed in the PHC. Searches were performed in nine databases in December 2020 and updated in April 2022. The systematic reviews were assessed for methodological quality using the AMSTAR 2 tool. Results: Fourteen systematic reviews on treatment adherence strategies and three on barriers and facilitators for implementation were included. Regarding methodological quality, one systematic review was classified as moderate, four as low, and the others as critically low. Four strategies were identified as options for health policies: actions performed by pharmacists; actions performed by non-pharmaceutical health professionals; self-monitoring, use of mobile apps, and text messages; and subsidies for the purchase of medicines. Low digital literacy, limited access to the internet, work process and incipient training were barriers for professionals. The users' educational and health literacy levels, accessibility to health services and good relationships with professionals were facilitators. Conclusions: Positive effects of strategies related to pharmaceutical care, self-monitoring, and the use of cell phone applications and text messages were identified to increase adherence to the treatment of SAH in the context of PHC. However, for implementation purposes, it is necessary to consider barriers and facilitators, in addition to the methodological limitations of the analyzed systematic reviews.

Objetivo: Buscar estrategias para aumentar la adhesión al tratamiento de la hipertensión arterial sistémica y describir las barreras y los elementos facilitadores para la implementación de esas estrategias en el ámbito de la atención primaria de salud. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión rápida de la evidencia. Se incluyeron revisiones sistemáticas, con o sin metaanálisis, publicadas en español, inglés o portugués, en las cuales se evaluaban a personas adultas (de 18 a ≤ 60 años) con hipertensión arterial sistémica observadas en el ámbito de la atención primaria de salud. Las búsquedas se realizaron en nueve bases de datos en diciembre del 2020 y se actualizaron en abril del 2022. Se evaluó la calidad metodológica de las revisiones sistemáticas incluidas con la herramienta AMSTAR 2. Resultados: Se incluyeron 14 revisiones sistemáticas sobre estrategias de adhesión al tratamiento y tres sobre obstáculos y elementos facilitadores para la implementación. La calidad metodológica fue moderada en una revisión sistemática, baja en cuatro y críticamente baja en las demás. Se identificaron cuatro estrategias como opciones para las políticas de salud: medidas tomadas por farmacéuticos; medidas tomadas por profesionales no farmacéuticos; autocontrol, uso de aplicaciones para teléfonos celulares y mensajes de texto; y oferta de subvenciones para la compra de medicamentos. La escasa alfabetización digital, el acceso limitado a internet y los procesos de trabajo y formación incipiente fueron obstáculos para los profesionales. Los elementos facilitadores fueron el nivel de educación y de conocimientos de los usuarios en materia de salud, la accesibilidad a los servicios de salud y las buenas relaciones con los profesionales. Conclusiones: Se observaron efectos positivos de las estrategias relacionadas con la atención farmacéutica, el autocontrol y el uso de aplicaciones de telefonía celular y mensajería de texto para aumentar la adhesión al tratamiento de la hipertensión arterial sistémica en el ámbito de la atención primaria de salud. Sin embargo, para fines de implementación, es necesario considerar los obstáculos y los elementos facilitadores, además de las limitaciones metodológicas de las revisiones sistemáticas analizadas.

Adesão, barreiras e facilitadores no tratamento de hipertensão arterial: revisão rápida de evidências

[RESUMO]. Objetivo. Identificar estratégias para aumentar a adesão ao tratamento de hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) e descrever as barreiras e os facilitadores para implementação dessas estratégias na atenção primária à saúde (APS). Métodos. Foi realizada uma revisão rápida de evidências. Foram incluídas revisões sistemáticas, com ou sem metanálises, publicadas em inglês, espanhol ou português, que avaliaram adultos (18 a ≤ 60 anos) com HAS acompanhados na APS. As buscas foram realizadas em nove bases de dados em dezembro de 2020 e atuali- zadas em abril de 2022. As revisões sistemáticas incluídas foram avaliadas quanto à qualidade metodológica por meio da ferramenta AMSTAR 2. Resultados. Foram incluídas 14 revisões sistemáticas sobre estratégias de adesão ao tratamento e três sobre barreiras e facilitadores para implementação. A qualidade metodológica foi moderada em uma revisão sistemática, baixa em quatro e criticamente baixa nas demais. Quatro estratégias foram identificadas como opções para políticas de saúde: ações realizadas por farmacêuticos; ações realizadas por profissionais não farmacêuticos; automonitoramento, uso de aplicativos de celular e mensagens de texto; e oferta de subsídios para aquisição de medicamentos. O baixo letramento digital, o acesso limitado à internet, processos de tra- balho e formação incipiente foram barreiras para os profissionais. Foram facilitadores o nível educacional e de letramento em saúde dos usuários, a acessibilidade aos serviços de saúde e o bom relacionamento com os profissionais. Conclusões. Identificaram-se efeitos positivos de estratégias relacionadas à atenção farmacêutica, automo- nitoramento e uso de aplicativos de celular e mensagem de texto para aumentar a adesão ao tratamento da HAS no âmbito da APS. Porém, para fins de implementação, é preciso considerar barreiras e facilitadores, além das limitações metodológicas das revisões sistemáticas analisadas.
