Educational technology on COVID-19 for families of children and adolescents with sickle cell disease.

OBJECTIVE: to construct and validate educational technology on COVID-19 and essential care for families of children/adolescents with sickle cell disease. METHODS: this is a methodological study, in three stages: 1) elaborated educational technology, using the Doak, Doak and Root theoretical-methodological model; 2) content and appearance validation by the content validity coefficient. Delphi technique was applied in two rounds (Delphi I [12 judges]/Delphi II [11 judges]); 3) conducting a pilot test with six families. RESULTS: "Sickle cell disease and COVID-19: essential care" included: consequences of COVID-19 in sickle cell disease, guidelines for reducing the risks of contracting the virus and having complications, signs and symptoms of COVID-19, guidelines in case of child/adolescent with suspicion or symptoms of COVID-19. Global content validity coefficient (Delphi II): 0.98. CONCLUSION: educational technology presented content and appearance validity for families of children/adolescents with sickle cell disease, related to COVID-19.

Excess weight in children living in rural areas related to the nutritional profile and to maternal habits.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the relationship between the nutritional status and eating habits of children aged from five to ten years old and their mothers, living in rural areas. METHODS: A cross-sectional study conducted with 156 children aged from five to ten years old, registered in the Family Health Strategies of the rural area of the Municipality of Divinópolis-MG (Brazil) from July 2017 to April 2018. RESULTS: The prevalence of excess weight was 27.5%. The following parameters were significantly associated with excess weight in the children: maternal waist circumference (OR=1.04), protein consumption (OR=1.02), irregular consumption of natural juice (OR=5.05), and the most favored socioeconomic level, C1 social stratum (OR=3.54). Regarding the correlation between nutrient intake of the children and their mothers, most of the correlations were weak to moderate, being statistically significant for all the dietary components evaluated (r=0.185 to 0.496). CONCLUSIONS: Maternal nutritional status was related to the child's excess weight and a weak to moderate correlation was observed for nutrient intake among the children and their mothers. A high prevalence of children with excess weight was observed in the rural areas. The results point to the need to implement collective approaches, targeted at rural families, so as to prevent this problem.
