ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo descrever as inovações introduzidas na Enfermagem em saúde comunitária brasileira durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Método revisão rápida de literatura com marco conceitual da inovação nas organizações e ideias subjacentes à investigação apreciativa. As bases de dados limitaram-se ao Google Scholar (Inglês) e SciELO (Português) (Novembro a Dezembro de 2022). Foram identificados 52 artigos em Português, sendo que 11 responderam aos critérios de elegibilidade. Resultados a maioria (n=10; 91%) abordou o fator "descoberta", destacando as condições favoráveis à inovação. Sobre "imaginar o que poderia ser" (n=6; 55%) projetaram a inovação como uma prática permanente. Em relação ao "co-construir a condição ideal" 55% (n=6), reportaram inovação como ação conjunta e na prática. Em relação à "sustentação da inovação", apenas cinco intervenções (45%) indicaram caminhos para a continuidade. Conclusões e implicações para a prática: a conexão entre atenção primária à saúde, academia, e organizações produziu soluções simples para situações desconhecidas, complexas e imprevisíveis. Entretanto a ideia de inovação como algo sem precedente, outrora não testada e estruturalmente revolucionária, não foi identificada extensivamente por esta revisão rápida, em razão da fragilidade conceitual e teórica das intervenções e dos projetos reportados.

Abstract Objective to describe the innovations introduced in Brazilian community health nursing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method rapid literature review with a conceptual framework of innovation in organizations and ideas underlying the method of appreciative inquiry. The databases were limited to Google Scholar (English) and SciELO (Portuguese) (November-December 2022). A total of 52 articles were identified in Portuguese, 11 of which met the eligibility criteria. Results the majority (n=10; 91%) addressed the "discovery" factor, highlighting the favorable conditions for innovation. Contents about "imagining what could be" (n=6; 55%) projected innovation as a permanent practice. In relation to "co-constructing the ideal condition" 55% (n=6), innovation was reported as a joint action and in practice. Regarding the "sustainability of innovation," only five interventions (45%) indicated paths for continuity. Conclusions and implication to the practice the connection between primary health care, academia, and organizations produced simple solutions to unknown, complex, and unpredictable situations. However, the idea of innovation as something unprecedented, untested, and structurally revolutionary, was not extensively identified by this rapid review, due to the conceptual and theoretical fragility of the interventions and projects reported.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: analisar os dados de normatização dos escores da versão brasileira do instrumento eHealth Literacy Scale (eHeals) para avaliação do letramento digital em saúde. Método: estudo transversal com 502 adultos brasileiros, realizado em 2019. Dados coletados pelo instrumento eHeals e questionário sociodemográfico. Foram aplicadas árvores de decisão e análise discriminante. Estudo aprovado pelo Comite de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: a análise discriminante determinou as faixas de classificação do eHeals a partir da distribuição dos escores. A árvore de decisão indicou que a escolaridade afetou de forma relevante os resultados da escala. Os indivíduos com escolaridade até o ensino fundamental II incompleto: baixo (até 10), médio (11 a 25), alto (27 a 40), e escolaridade acima: baixo (até 25), médio (25 a 32) e alto LDS (33 a 40). Conclusão: a classificação dos níveis de letramento digital em saúde de adultos pelo eHeals deve ser controlada pelos níveis de escolaridade dos participantes(AU)


Objective: to analyze the normative data of the scores of the Brazilian version of the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHeals) instrument for assessing digital health literacy. Method: cross-sectional study with 502 Brazilian adults in 2019. Data collected using the eHeals instrument and sociodemographic questionnaire. Decision trees and discriminant analysis were applied. Study approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: Discriminant analysis determined the eHeals classification ranges based on the distribution of scores. The decision tree indicated that education significantly affected the scale results. Thus, individuals with incomplete elementary school education up to II: low (up to 10), medium (11 to 25), high (27 to 40), and higher education: low (up to 25), medium (25 to 32) and high LDS (33 to 40). Conclusion: the classification of digital health literacy levels using eHeals in adults should be controlled by the participants' education levels(AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: In Brazil, cancer patients and caregivers of cancer patients seek judicial intervention for free access to medications from the public health system. Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic potentially affected the health-related quality of life of cancer patients and caregivers of cancer patients. This study aimed to describe the sociodemographic profile and assess the health-related quality of life of patients and caregivers in the state of Goias, Brazil, in 2020. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and a sociodemographic questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 88 (67,7%) patients and 42 (32,3%) caregivers participated in the study, mostly women (55,5%); aged from 18 to 60 (66%) years old; with up to nine years of education (73,1%) and monthly family income lower than the minimum wage (69,2%); married or in a stable union (92,3%); living with multiple people in the same household (73,8%). The quality of life domains with the best scores were mental health for patients and pain for caregivers. The most affected quality of life domain was physical limitation for patients and caregivers. Factors associated with better quality of life were female gender and age between 18 and 60 years in patients, more than 9 years of education, living with multiple people in the same house, and having a monthly family income higher than US$200 for caregivers. CONCLUSION: The study found evidence of physical and emotional vulnerability during the pandemic, highlighting the need to strengthen public policies of assistance support to this population.

ABSTRACT

AIMS: Cardiovascular risk factors present a high prevalence and have an impact on the morbimortality of the elderly; however, studies evaluating the impact of cardiovascular risk factors in the elderly have had short follow-up times and have not allowed specific analyses of the effects of these factors in the aged population, including how they affect the survival of the elderly. This study aimed to analyse the survival of elderly individuals living in the community, considering the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS: A prospective 10-year follow-up was initiated in 2008 with a cohort of 418 elderly people living in a community in Central Brazil. The Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox proportional hazards model were used to examine the association between survival and cardiovascular risk factors. The mean age of the participants was 70.6 (±7.1) years; most participants were hypertensive (81.6%) and participated in irregular physical activity (44%), and 43.3% smoked. After a mean follow-up of 8.38 (±2.82) years, 59.3% had survived and 34.1% had died; among the deaths, 14.1% were due to cardiovascular causes. Age [hazard ratio (HR) 1.067, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.027-1.109], hypertension (HR 3.178, 95% CI 1.144-8.826), and smoking (HR 2.235, 95% CI 1.253-3.987) were confirmed as risk factors for reduced survival, whereas physical activity was a protective factor (HR 0.456, 95% CI 0.206-1.007). CONCLUSION: The results from this study highlight the need for educational policies towards hypertension and smoking prevention among elderly people, and participation in physical activity needs to be encouraged.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Portuguese Brazilian version of the instrument for measuring health literacy European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire short form (HLS-EU-Q16). The study sample consisted of 783 Brazilian adults with a mean age of 38.6 years. The data were analyzed through an extensive and robust process of testing the properties with the combination of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and item response theory (IRT) techniques, aiming to search for strong validation evidence in the internal structure and stability step for other sub-samples. The instrument's reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's Omega. The analyses indicated the existence of only one dimension and good reliability values. The model tested with cross-validation indicated satisfactory, adequate, consistent and stable levels for EFA, IRT via item discrimination and CFA, both for primary indicators as factor loadings, communalities, item discrimination as well as for the model adequacy indicators. It is concluded that the Brazilian Portuguese version of the HLS-EU-Q16 proved to be a one-dimensional, consistent, accurate and stable model for measuring health literacy in Brazilian adults.


Health literacy (HL) is a field of scientific knowledge that has been related to the knowledge and skills of people to access, understand, evaluate and apply information in health. Among the currently existing instruments for measuring the HL construct in its broader aspects, involving multidimensional characteristics, there is the short version of European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16). The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the HL instrument European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire in its short form, also known as HLS-EU-Q16. The instrument was applied to a sample of 783 Brazilian adults. Our results demonstrated that the Brazilian version of HLS-EU-Q16 presented good psychometric properties to measure HL in Brazilian adults.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to assess the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral program to control lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy. METHODS: a randomized clinical trial study, with 41 participants randomized into intervention (n=20) and control (n=21), for three months. The intervention group received the cognitive-behavioral program, while the control group received routine guidance from the service. Outcome variables were urinary incontinence intensity and lower urinary tract symptoms, assessed by the Pad-Test and Urinary Incontinence Scale of Radical Prostatectomy and King's Health Questionnaire. RESULTS: at the end of the study, the intervention group had a lower urinary incontinence intensity (p≤0.001), and there were less chances of presenting changes in urinary frequency (p≤0.001), urinary urgency (p≤0.001), nocturia (p=0.005), stress urinary incontinence (p≤0.001) and urge incontinence (p≤0.045). CONCLUSION: the cognitive-behavioral program was effective in reducing lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy. Brazilian Clinical Trial Registry: RBR-3sstqg.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the quality indicators and technical content of the videos for lay people posted on the YouTube platform, on cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adults and their audiovisual production regarding the principles of digital health literacy. METHOD: a descriptive and exploratory study, which selected videos recorded between December 2015 and April 2021. They were analyzed by indicators of the production of audiovisual material, considering the American Heart Association guidelines and the principles of digital health literacy. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed. RESULTS: of the 121 videos analyzed, 26 did not comply with any indicator on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, four reached 81% compliance, eight videos reached 79%, nine reached 69% and 74 videos, from 6% to 63%. According to the principles of digital health literacy, one video met 85% of the indicators, 81 met from 50% to 80% and 39, from 10% to 49%. A positive correlation was identified between literacy and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. CONCLUSION: no video presented 100% compliance with the American Heart Association guidelines. The absence of mechanisms for supervision and control over health-related contents allows for the posting of mistaken videos, which have been used as a learning method by people and can thus miss their greatest goal: save lives.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: to evaluate a pediatric risk evaluation and classification service in the aspects of structure, process, and outcome. Methods: a cross-sectional, descriptive, and exploratory study in which qualitative data complement the results. Data collection by non-participant observation, interview, and consultation of medical records. Results: we observed two hundred and four visits. The service works in a makeshift room and without privacy. The nurses did not use various materials/equipment available for evaluation, rarely performed a physical examination, used the interview most of the time, and did not consult the protocol. Parents/companions received no information, and medical records showed incomplete records. Nurses classified 69.1% of the children as non-emergency. The most frequent outcome of the visits was discharge. Conclusions: the service showed weaknesses in the physical structure, in the risk classification process, and the outcomes, but it presents a good resolution in the assistance. We recommend a revision in the protocol used and sensitize nurses about the work process and communication with parents/companions.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To translate and adapt the eHealth Literacy Scale for the cultural reality of Brazil and to evaluate the psychometric properties of its Brazilian Portuguese version. METHODS: The instrument was translated and adapted to Brazilian Portuguese and applied to a sample of 502 individuals from 18 to 80 years old who lived in the surrounding areas of six Family Health Units of a city in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The data was evaluated using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, item response theory, and instrument reliability measures (Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega). RESULTS: The eHealth Literacy Scale - Brazilian version (eHEALS-Br) presented an excellent internal consistency (α = 0.95 e ω = 0.95), with only one dimension and an explained variation of 81.79%. CONCLUSIONS: The Brazilian version of the instrument showed excellent psychometric properties to measure the levels of digital health literacy in adults from the country.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to investigate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the health literacy questionnaire European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire short-short form (HLS-EU-Q6) in Brazilian adults. METHOD: the instrument was translated and pre-tested in a sample of 50 individuals. Subsequently, it was applied to a sample of 783 adult individuals. The data went through an appropriate process of testing the properties, with the combination of techniques of Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Item Response Theory. For the assessment of reliability, the Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's Omega indicators were used. Cross-validation with full data analysis was applied. RESULTS: the majority of the participants was female (68.1%), with a mean age of 38.6 (sd=14.5) years old and 33.5% studied up to elementary school. The results indicated a unidimensional model with an explained variance of 71.23%, adequate factor load levels, commonality and item discrimination, as well as stability and replicability of the instrument to other populations. CONCLUSION: the Brazilian version of HLS-EU-Q6 indicated that the instrument is suitable for indiscriminate application in the population to which it is intended to assess health literacy levels.

ABSTRACT

Caregivers of individuals with cancer in the COVID-19 pandemic are faced with the demands of cancer and the health needs produced by it, along with their own health and self-care needs, and the uncertainties of expectations and risks. A qualitative analytical phenomenological study with caregivers of individuals with cancer registered at the state referral hospital supplying medications, who answered the sociodemographic assessment questionnaires and semi-structured questions about their feelings and perceptions in the COVID-19 pandemic. Bardin's content analysis was used, with methodological quality assessed using SRQR Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research and the MAXQDA software. Most of the caregivers are women, married, Catholic, of low income and education, aged between 30 and 60 years, optimistic, comply with health guidelines regarding social distancing, use of masks, and routine hand hygiene, do not practice regular physical activities, mention concern for their own physical and financial survival, and that of their family. The main need identified in the affective sphere was to reframe contact with family members, seeking to strengthen the bonds of affection. The feeling of emotional vulnerability shows the importance of building effective public policies for social support consistent with the improvement of health care for this population.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo Analisar as condições de letramento em saúde dos cuidadores de usuários vinculados ao Serviço de Atenção Domiciliar de uma capital brasileira. Métodos Estudo transversal realizado com 90 cuidadores vinculados ao Serviço de Atenção Domiciliar, de município na região central do Brasil. Coleta realizada no domicílio dos usuários, usando questionário sociodemográfico e a versão brasileira do Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ-Br). Utilizada estatística descritiva para variáveis sociodemográficas, a média dos escores nas escalas do HLQ e testes não paramétricos para medidas de associação do letramento em saúde. Resultados A maioria dos entrevistados era mulher (90,0%), com companheiro (58,9%), vivia no mesmo local do usuário (75,6%), possuía renda pessoal até um salário mínimo (72,2%), não possuía o hábito de ler (57,8%), estudou nove anos ou mais (53,3%), era cuidador informal (91,1%) e tinha pais que não estudaram (42,2%). Limitações foram identificadas nas escalas "Cuidado ativo em saúde" e "Navegar no sistema de saúde". As condições de letramento em saúde foram influenciadas negativamente por não ter hábito de ler; escolaridade do cuidador e de seus pais; pelo fato de ser cuidador informal; pela renda e tempo cuidando dos pacientes. As potencialidades foram relacionadas ao acesso a quem entende e apoia o cuidador; à compreensão das informações sobre saúde e saber o que fazer, e a entenderem o que os profissionais de saúde lhes pedem. Conclusão Necessário incorporar os princípios do letramento em saúde no cotidiano dos cuidadores, profissionais e gestores para melhores desfechos e decisões em saúde no contexto da assistência no domicílio.


Resumen Objetivo Analizar las condiciones de alfabetización en salud de los cuidadores de usuarios vinculados al Servicio de Atención Domiciliaria de una capital brasileña. Métodos Estudio transversal realizado con 90 cuidadores vinculados al Servicio de Atención Domiciliaria de un municipio en la región central de Brasil. La recopilación fue realizada en el domicilio de los usuarios, mediante un cuestionario sociodemográfico y la versión brasileña del Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ-Br). Se utilizó la estadística descriptiva para variables sociodemográficas, el promedio de puntuaciones de las escalas del HLQ y pruebas no paramétricas para medidas de asociación de la alfabetización en salud. Resultados La mayoría de los entrevistados era mujer (90,0 %), con compañero (58,9 %), vivía en el mismo lugar que el usuario (75,6 %), tenía un ingreso personal de hasta un salario mínimo (72,2 %), no tenía el hábito de leer (57,8 %), estudió nueve años o más (53,3 %), era cuidador informal (91,1 %) y sus padres no estudiaron (42,2 %). Se identificaron limitaciones en las escalas "Cuidado activo de la salud" y "Navegar en el sistema de salud". Las condiciones de alfabetización en salud fueron influenciadas de forma negativa por no tener el hábito de leer, por la escolaridad del cuidador y de sus padres, por el hecho de ser cuidador informal y por los ingresos y tiempo cuidando a los pacientes. Las posibilidades se relacionaron con el acceso a quien entiende y apoya al cuidador, con la comprensión de la información sobre salud y saber qué hacer y entender lo que los profesionales de la salud les piden. Conclusión Es necesario incorporar los principios de la alfabetización en salud en la cotidianidad de los cuidadores, profesionales y administradores para obtener mejores resultados y tomar mejores decisiones respecto a la salud en el contexto de la atención domiciliaria.


Abstract Objective To analyze the health literacy conditions of caregivers of Brazilian Home Care Program users. Methods Cross-sectional study conducted with 90 caregivers of the Brazilian Home Care Program in a municipality in central Brazil. Data collection was performed at users' homes using a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Brazilian version of the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ-Br). Descriptive statistics were used for sociodemographic variables, the mean scores of the HLQ scales and non-parametric tests for measures of association of health literacy. Results Most respondents were women (90.0%), with a partner (58.9%), lived in the same location as the user (75.6%), had a personal income of up to one minimum wage (72.2%), did not have the habit of reading (57.8%), studied nine years or more (53.3%), were informal caregivers (91.1%) and had parents who did not study (42.2%). Health literacy limitations were identified in the scales "Actively managing my health" and "Navigating the healthcare system". Health literacy conditions were negatively influenced by the infrequent reading habit; schooling of caregivers and their parents; the fact of being an informal caregiver; by the low income and less time as a caregiver. The strengths of caregivers were related to the access to those who understand and support the caregiver; understanding health information and knowing what to do, and understanding health professionals' requests. Conclusion It is necessary to incorporate the principles of health literacy in the routine of caregivers, professionals and managers for better health outcomes and decisions in the home care context.

Abstract Objective: To validate the health literacy assessment instrument Health Literacy Questionnaire to Brazilian Portuguese. Methods: We used the protocol established by the original authors of the instrument for transcultural adaptation and validation of the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ-Br). The HLQ-Br was answered by 794 adults from three regions of Brazil. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed by means of the Diagonally Weighted Least Squares and reliability was verified by Cronbach's Alpha and Composite Reliability indicators. Results: Cognitive evaluation of the HLQ-Br showed that the items of the instrument were easily understood by the participants. The confirmatory analysis presented satisfactory fit indices: χ2WLSMV (866 df) = 1698.53, p <0.0001; CFI = 0.978; TLI = 0.976, and RMSEA = 0.035 [0.032; 0.037, 90%CI]. Cronbach's Alpha and Composite Reliability > 0.76 on eight of the nine scales of the instrument. Conclusion: The HLQ-Br presented equivalence to the original version and satisfactory psychometric properties. It can be applied in the evaluation of Brazilian population HL in clinical practice, teaching and research. The use of HLQ-Br in health practices can aid in the incorporation of health literacy into health care practices in Brazil.
