ABSTRACT

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To analyse the process of elaborating social representations about pressure injury preventive measures by the nursing team (nurses and nurse technicians) and how this process relates to preventive practices for hospitalized patients. DESIGN: Qualitative study, with the application of the theory of social representations in its procedural methodological approach. METHODS: The study was carried out in an inpatient clinic of a public hospital in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. Totally, 28 nursing professionals in the medical clinic sectors who had worked directly with patient care for more than 6 months participated. The data were collected between July and September 2021 via in-depth interviews with the application of a semi-structured instrument. Analysis was carried out with the help of ALCESTE software, which performed a lexicographic analysis, and also via thematic analysis. The COREQ guided the presentation of the research report. RESULTS: The social representations were developed based on the professionals' symbolic beliefs about the visibility/invisibility of the results of applying preventive care. These symbolic constructions mobilized positive and negative feelings among the nursing team, which guided the classification of prevention practices as being of greater or lesser priority among other care activities. There were favourable attitudes among professionals, which included applying prevention measures in their daily routines, and unfavourable attitudes of non-adherence to the institution's protocol for preventing pressure injuries. CONCLUSIONS: The nursing team's perception of pressure injury prevention is influenced by symbolic, affective, values, and social dimensions. Non-adherence behaviours are attributed to the belief in the invisibility of prevention outcomes, resulting in a reluctance to implement preventive measures. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Understanding the subjective logic that explains the thinking and actions of the nursing team suggests the need to incorporate discussions on beliefs, values, sentiments, and attitudes of nursing professionals into educational programs on pressure injury prevention. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No public contribution.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the structure of social representations on the preventive measures to pressure injury of nursing teams. METHOD: Qualitative research, based on the structural approach of Social Representations. It was conducted with 103 nursing professionals from a specialized hospital, using the Word Association Test. Data were submitted to prototypical analysis, using two analysis techniques of centrality, similarity and double negation. RESULTS: The evocations "care" and "decubitus" made up the central core of the representation, which was structured based on the imagery dimension of changing position, from which a hierarchy of preventive measures occurs. The term "care" referred to the normative dimension of representation as a responsibility of nursing, and to the practical dimension, as preventive actions with the use of technologies. CONCLUSION: The image, normative and practice dimensions are part of the representation structure and guide compliance with preventive measures.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To apprehend the social representations of adolescents about sexuality on the internet. METHOD: Qualitative research, based on the structural approach on the Theory of Social Representations, with adolescents who are users of virtual media and who are students of two state schools. The free word association test was used, whose data were processed by the Evoc® 2005 software and analyzed in the light of the aforementioned theory. RESULTS: A total of 124 adolescents participated in the research. The terms pornography, sexting and violence made up the central nucleus of the representation, signaling the valuation, image and practice dimensions of the investigated object. The similarity analysis confirmed the centrality of the violence element and added virtual dating and pedophilia. CONCLUSION: The social representations of adolescents point to the lack of security in the virtual environment regarding the exercise of sexuality, with predominant values and negative dimensions, which distance themselves from what is established as sexual rights, since adolescents have the right to live and express their sexuality freely.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Aprehender las representaciones sociales de adolescentes sobre la sexualidad en la internet. Método: Es una investigación cualitativa, basada en el enfoque estructural de la Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales, realizada con adolescentes usuarios de medios virtuales y alumnos de dos colegios públicos. Se utilizó la prueba de asociación libre de palabras, cuyos datos fueron procesados por el software Evoc® 2005 y analizados a la luz de esa teoría. Resultados: Participaron en la investigación 124 adolescentes. Los términos pornografía, sexteo y violencia constituyeron el núcleo central de la representación y se percibieron dimensiones valorativas mediante imágenes y prácticas del objeto investigado. El análisis de similitud confirmó la centralidad del elemento violencia, y agregó relación virtual y pedofilia. Conclusión: Las representaciones sociales de los adolescentes señalan una falta de seguridad en el entorno virtual respecto al ejercicio de la sexualidad, con predominio de las dimensiones valorativas y negativas que se alejan de lo establecido como derechos sexuales, ya que los susodichos tienen derecho a vivir y a expresar su sexualidad libremente.

Resultados: Participaram da pesquisa 124 adolescentes. Os termos pornografia, sexting e violência compuseram o núcleo central da representação, sinalizando dimensões valorativas, imagéticas e práticas do objeto investigado. A análise de similitude confirmou a centralidade do elemento violência, e acrescentou namoro virtual e pedofilia. Conclusão: As representações sociais dos adolescentes apontam para ausência de segurança no ambiente virtual quanto ao exercício da sexualidade, predominando as dimensões valorativas e negativas, que se distanciam do que é estabelecido como direitos sexuais, dado que os adolescentes têm o direito de viver e expressar livremente a sexualidade.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: identificar la estructura y organización de las representaciones sociales sobre el noviazgo construidas por las adolescentes que se reconocen en este contexto. MÉTODO: investigación descriptiva fundamentada por la Teoría del Núcleo Central de las representaciones sociales. Se aplicó la prueba de asociación libre de palabras con 106 adolescentes femeninas del municipio de Río de Janeiro/Brasil. Las evocaciones fueron procesadas por el software - EVOC, que generó un cuadro correspondiente a la probable estructura de la representación. RESULTADOS: El núcleo central fue integrado por los elementos: amor, beso y sexo. El sistema periférico se constituye en mayor frecuencia por: amistad, felicidad, traición, matrimonio, comprensión y lealtad. CONCLUSIÓN: Los sentimientos de amor y confianza en la pareja fomentan una percepción de salud sexual libre de riesgos, lo que significa que el noviazgo tiene una representación predominantemente afectiva y, por lo tanto, el uso de métodos de barrera para las infecciones de transmisión sexual está infravalorado


OBJECTIVE: to identify the structure and organization of social representations about dating built by the adolescents who are recognized in this context. METHOD: this is a descriptive research, based on the Central Core Theory of social representations. A free word association test was applied with 106 female adolescents of the city of Rio de Janeiro / Brazil. Software- EVOC processed the evocations, generating a chart corresponding to the probable representation structure. RESULTS: The central nucleus was composed of the elements of love, kiss and sex. The peripheral system is more frequently characterized by: friendship, happiness, betrayal, marriage, understanding and loyalty. CONCLUSION: Feelings of love and trust in the couple foster a sense of risk-free sexual health, which means that they have a predominantly affective representation and, therefore, the use of barrier methods for sexually transmitted infections is undervalued

ABSTRACT

Resumo Este artigo discute a concorrência entre parteiras e médicos na oferta dos serviços de partos na cidade do Rio de Janeiro entre 1835 e 1900. Foram analisadas as atas da congregação, os livros do curso de partos e de termos de exames de verificação de médicos, cirurgiões, boticários e parteiras da Faculdade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro, além de anúncios e propagandas de médicos e parteiras nas colunas "Anúncios" e "Indicações Úteis" do Jornal do Commercio . Observa-se como o aumento do número de médicos-parteiros e seus discursos científicos contribuíram para que as parteiras se vissem obrigadas a diversificar a clientela, instalando-se e atendendo em áreas populares e inóspitas.


Abstract The article discusses competition between midwives and doctors offering birth-related services in the city of Rio de Janeiro from 1835 to 1900. The research analyzed minutes from meetings, textbooks on births, and terms from qualification examinations for physicians, surgeons, apothecaries, and midwives at the Rio de Janeiro Medical School (Faculdade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro), as well as announcements by and advertisements for doctors and midwives in columns featuring advertisements and useful recommendations in the Jornal do Commercio newspaper. An increase in the number of delivery physicians, and their scientific discourses led midwives to feel an obligation to diversify their clientele, consequently establishing themselves and working in lower-class and inhospitable areas.

ABSTRACT

Objective: to identify the social representations of older adults regarding quality of life, and to analyze the care practices adopted to promote it. Method: qualitative, exploratory, descriptive research, applying the Theory of Social Representations. Thirty older people from a Health Academy of Rio de Janeiro participated in the study. The software Alceste was used, and lexical analysis of data was performed. Results: social representations of quality of life are based on the social determinants of health; they evidence knowledge and practices of care by valuing physical activities. The practices promoting quality of life comprise healthy eating habits, daily physical exercise, social participation, interaction and socialization, accomplishment of leisure activities and daily tasks with independence and autonomy, and support and family contact. Final considerations: the elderly have a global understanding of the concept of quality of life, coordinate knowledge built in daily life and knowledge coming from the technical-professional field, which evidences the multidimensionality of the concept.

ABSTRACT

Objective: to assess the risk of falls in elderly, by comparing the sociodemographic and cognitive factors, history of falls and self-reported comorbidities. Method: cross-sectional and quantitative study with 240 elderly. Data were collected based on the social profile, through the instrument of risk of falls and assessment of falls, by univariate analysis, bivariate and multiple logistic regression. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19 was used for statistical analysis. Results: there was a significant association of the risk of falls, as measured by the Fall Risk Score, with sex (<0.001), age (0.054), cognitive status (<0.001) and history of falls (<0.001). All variables were statistically significant and contributed to the occurrence of falls. In logistic regression, the variables that showed association with risk of falls were: fall, with whom they live, hypertension and visual impairment. Conclusion: female gender, older elderly (over 80 years old), with low cognitive status and occurrence of previous falls in the last six months are factors that increase the prevalence of falls. In logistic regression, the variables that were associated with risk of falls were: fall, with whom they live, visual impairment and rheumatologic diseases.

Resultados: hay una asociación significativa del riesgo de caídas, medido por el Fall Risk Score, con el sexo (<0.001), la edad (0.054), el desempeño cognitivo (<0.001) y los antecedentes de caídas (<0.001). Todas las variables fueron estadísticamente significativas y contribuyeron a la ocurrencia de caídas. En la regresión logística, las variables que mostraron asociación con el riesgo de caídas fueron: caída, con quien viven, hipertensión y discapacidad visual. Conclusión: sexo femenino, adulto mayor de edad más avanzada (más de 80 años de edad), bajo desempeño cognitivo, y antecedentes de caídas en los últimos seis meses son factores que aumentan la prevalencia de caídas. En la regresión logística, las variables que mostraron asociación con el riesgo de caídas fueron: caída, con quien vive, discapacidad visual y enfermedades reumáticas.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to identify the changes which had occurred over the last year in the life of older adults, as well as the values attributed to these changes. METHOD: this is a multicentric, cross-sectional study, of the inquiry type, undertaken in three cities of the Brazilian Northeast, investigating two distinct groups of older adults. RESULTS: among the 236 older adults interviewed, it was observed that 30.0% reported health as the main change in their life course in the last year, this category being the most significant response among the older adults aged between 80 and 84 years old (37.7%). Changes in the family were mentioned by 11.5% of the older adults; death (9.6%) and alterations in routine activities (9.6%). In relation to the value attributed to these changes, it was ascertained that for 64.7% of the older adults aged between 65 and 69 years old, these changes were positive. In the older group, 49.4% of the older adults believe that their changes were related to losses. CONCLUSION: the knowledge of the changes mentioned, the value attributed to these changes, and the self-evaluation of health provide information which assists in formulating actions which are more specific to the real needs of these age groups. They also provide the health professionals with a better understanding of how some experiences are experienced in the life trajectories of these older adults.

OBJETIVO: identificar as mudanças ocorridas ao longo do último ano no percurso de vida de idosos, bem como as valorações atribuídas a estas mudanças. MÉTODO: trata-se de um estudo multicêntrico, transversal, tipo inquérito, realizado em três cidades do Nordeste brasileiro, que investigou dois grupos distintos de idosos. RESULTADOS: entre os 236 idosos entrevistados, 30% relataram que a saúde foi a principal mudança em seu curso de vida no último ano, sendo esta categoria de resposta mais significativa entre os idosos de 80 a 84 anos (37,7%). Modificações na família foram citadas por 11,5% dos idosos, falecimento (9,6%) e alterações nas atividades cotidianas (9,6%). Quanto à valoração atribuída a estas mudanças, verificou-se que para 64,7% dos idosos, entre 65 e 69 anos, as mudanças foram vantajosas. No grupo mais velho, 49,4% dos idosos acreditam que suas mudanças foram relacionadas a perdas. CONCLUSÃO: o conhecimento das mudanças referidas, a valoração atribuída a estas mudanças e a autoavaliação de saúde favorecem informações que auxiliam na formulação de ações mais específicas às reais necessidades destes grupos etários. Além disso, proporciona aos profissionais de saúde melhor compreensão de como são vivenciadas algumas situações na trajetória de vida destes idosos. .

RESULTADOS: entre los 236 ancianos entrevistados, se constató que 30,0% relataron ser la salud el principal cambio en su curso de la vida, en el último año, siendo esta categoría de respuesta más significativa entre los ancianos de 80 a 84 años (37,7%). Modificaciones en la familia fueron citadas por 11,5% de los ancianos; fallecimiento (9,6%) y alteraciones en las actividades cotidianas (9,6%). En lo que se refiere a la valoración atribuida a estos cambios, se verificó que para 64,7% de los ancianos entre 65 y 69 años, los cambios fueron ventajosos. En el grupo con más edad, 49,4% de los ancianos creían que sus cambios fueron relacionados a pérdidas. CONCLUSIÓN: el conocimiento de los cambios referidos, la valoración atribuida a estos cambios y la autoevaluación de la salud, favorece obtener informaciones que auxilien en la formulación de acciones más específicas a las reales necesidades de estos grupos etarios. Lo que proporcionará a los profesionales de la salud una mejor comprensión de como son experimentadas algunas situaciones en la trayectoria de vida de estos ancianos. .
