Demographic, social, and clinical aspects associated with access to COVID-19 health care in Pará province, Brazilian Amazon.

Internal social disparities in the Brazilian Amazon became more evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this work was to examine the demographic, social and clinical factors associated with access to COVID-19 health care in Pará Province in the Brazilian Amazon. This was an observational, cross-sectional, analytical study using a quantitative method through an online survey conducted from May to August 2023. People were eligible to participate if they were current residents of Pará, 18-years-old or older, with self-reported diagnoses of COVID-19 through rapid or laboratory tests. Participants completed an electronic survey was developed using Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) software-The adapted questionnaire "COVID-19 Global Clinical Platform: Case Report Form for Post-COVID Condition". Questions focused on access to COVID-19 treatment, demographic characteristics, COVID-19 vaccine and clinical characteristics. Respondent-driven sampling was applied to recruit participants. Multiple logistic regression was utilized to identify the associated factors. Overall, a total of 638 participants were included. The average age was 31.1 years. Access to COVID-19 health care was 68.65% (438/638). The participants most likely to access health care were those with moderate or severe COVID-19 (p = 0.000; OR: 19.8) and females (p = 0.001; OR: 1.99). Moreover, participants who used homemade tea or herbal medicines were less likely to receive health care for COVID-19 in health services (p = 0.002; OR: 0.54). Ensuring access to healthcare is important in a pandemic scenario.

Nursing care management concepts: scoping review.

OBJECTIVES: to clarify the concepts of Nursing Care Management and Nursing Care Administration in the scientific literature, highlighting approximations and distances between the terms. METHODS: scoping review as per Joanna Briggs Institute protocol and preferred reporting items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). The searches were performed in LILACS, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Scopus databases. RESULTS: the qualitative analysis, through content analysis, counted 49 studies published between 2007 and 2020. Hospital care was the most evident level of care. It was identified that nursing care management aims at the macropolitical performance of nurses and mobilizes skills essentially strategic-cognitive, while Nursing Care Administration aims at the micropolitical performance of nurses, requiring essentially strategic-administrative skills. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the study allowed us to propose the conceptualization of the terms and identify the approximations and distances between them.

Spatial analysis of the AIDS mortality rate among young people in a province of the Brazilian Amazon: An ecological study.

Worldwide, policies to combat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have led to a small decrease in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) mortality rate among young people. For greater policy efficacy, it is necessary to determine the influence of social determinants of health (SDHs) in each territory. The objective of this study was to spatially analyse the AIDS mortality rate among young people in a province of the Brazilian Amazon and the spatial variability of the rate promoted by SDHs. All reports of AIDS deaths between 2007 and 2018 among young people living in the state of Pará were included in the study. The mortality rate was analysed using spatial distribution and autocorrelation, spatial scanning, and geographically weighted regression (GWR). During the study period, there were 1,372 deaths from AIDS among young people with a territorial expansion. The spatial autocorrelation showed two high-high clusters in the period from 2007 to 2010, one formed by municipalities in south-eastern Pará and one in the metropolitan region of Belém, with only the latter remaining between 2011 and 2018. This region showed a higher spatial risk for AIDS mortality and was the only cluster with spatiotemporal risk in the 2013-2018 period. Spatial variability was promoted by the i) the youth homicide rate, ii) the elementary school dropout rate and iii) the number of families registered in the Unified Registry for Social Programs (CadÚnico). This study provides support for the implementation of effective focal policies to combat HIV and reduce the mortality rate among young people in Pará.

Nursing process for elderly women susceptible to falls from the perspective of the Pender's Model.

OBJECTIVES: to describe the strategy of applying the nursing process guided by Pender's Health Promotion Model to elderly women susceptible to falls with a view to promoting a self-efficacy behavior for fall prevention. METHODS: application of the nursing process to eleven elderly women who had already experienced falls, living in a neighborhood in the outskirts of Belem, state of Pará, which involved interviews to obtain their nursing history and group meetings using the focus group technique to develop the other phases of the nursing process: nursing diagnosis, nursing interventions, and nursing assessment. RESULTS: despite the risk factors for falls, the intervention model adopted in this study allowed elderly women to enhance their self-efficacy. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the model proved to be suitable for the participation of elderly women in actions to build fall prevention behaviors, with a view to healthier lifestyles.

The Temporal and Spatial Epidemiology Employed in the Elimination of the HIV Epidemic in the Largest Capital of the Brazilian Rainforest.

BACKGROUND: The main goal of this study was to analyze the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic temporally and spatially in Belém from 2007 to 2018. METHODS: The incidence rates were analyzed according to time using autoregressive integrated moving-average models, as well as spatially using spatial autocorrelation, Kernel density, scan statistics, and regression techniques. RESULTS: During the study period, 6007 notifications of new cases of HIV/AIDS were reported. The time series analysis revealed a stabilized trend of incidence from 2007 to October 2016, followed by irregular fluctuations until the end of December 2018. Seasonal behavior was observed from 2019 to 2022. The high-high incidence clusters were found in the central and transition areas. An expansion of the number of new reported cases was observed in the central area. Three spatial risk zones were observed. The higher relative risk zone was concentrated in the transition area. The spatial regression showed that the incidence rates were positively correlated with the Family Health Strategy (FHS) coverage. CONCLUSIONS: To eliminate HIV in Belém, it will be necessary to decentralize testing and ART and expand the coverage of FHS to ensure universal access to healthcare for citizens.

HIV epidemic among Brazilian women who have sex with women: An ecological study.

The influences of public policies fighting HIV among women who have sex with women is scarcely studied. This study aimed to analyse the time series of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic, between 2007 and 2020, among Brazilian women who have sex with women, in order to evaluate the effect of Brazilian policies for fighting HIV in this subpopulation compared to women who have sex with men (WSM). This ecological study employed HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) new cases among women who have sex strictly with women (WSW), women who have sex with men and women (WSMW), and WSM reported to the Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação from 2007 to 2020. Crude Brazilian and regional annual age-adjusted HIV/AIDS population-level incidence rates were calculated for WSW, WSMW and WSM. The rates were then analyzed using the Joinpoint regression model. A total of 102,890, 757, and 1,699 notifications of WSW, WSMW, and WSM living with HIV/AIDS were reported during the study period, respectively. South Brazilian region had the greatest HIV/AIDS incidence rates among WSM and bisexual women while the North region had the greatest incidence among WSW. In the WSM population, the temporal trends showed at least one stable or an increasing trend period from 2007 to 2013 or 2014, followed by one decreasing trend in all Brazilian regions. While among the WSMW most of the regions had a stable trend period from 2007 to 2020, in WSW group most of the trends had only one decreasing period. The decreasing trends were faster in WSM than in WSW. These results suggest a low efficiency of Brazilian policies for fighting HIV among WSW and WSMW and show the necessity of implementing new policies specific to this population.

Temporal and Spatial Analysis Techniques as Potential Tools for Combating the HIV Epidemic among Young Brazilian Amazonian People: An Ecological Study.

BACKGROUND: The main goal of this study was to analyze the HIV epidemic temporally and spatially among young people living in Pará, Brazil, from 2007 to 2018. METHODS: For the temporal analysis, we employed an integrated autoregression of moving averages model associated with the seasonal trend using the LOESS decomposition method, which allowed for predictions to be made. In the spatial analysis, the techniques of autocorrelation, spatial and spatio-temporal risk analysis, and geographically weighted regression were used. RESULTS: During the study period, there were 8143 notifications of HIV/AIDS cases. The temporal prediction indicated a trend of growth in the incidence rate in the 20-24-year-old group from January 2019 to December 2022 and a trend of stability in the 15- to 19-year-old and 25- to 29-year-old groups. There was a territorial expansion of the HIV epidemic in Pará. Novo Progresso and the Metropolitan Region of Belém (RMB) were the zones with the highest spatial and spatio-temporal risk for HIV. Social determinants including the Basic Education Development Index, the number of physicians per 10,000 inhabitants, and the municipal high school abandonment rate in the municipalities were associated with the risk of HIV/AIDS among young people in Pará. CONCLUSIONS: To eliminate HIV among young people in Pará, the access to treatment, diagnosis, and preventive healthcare services should be expanded. Sexual and reproductive health education should be reinforced in schools and communities. Furthermore, it is necessary to promote social equity and fight HIV stigma.

Integrative review on the incidence of HIV infection and its socio-spatial determinants.

OBJECTIVES: to identify the socio-spatial determinants associated with the incidence of infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) described in national and international literature. METHODS: integrative literature review that included original articles indexed in the LILACS, PUBMED, CINAHL, and Scopus databases, from 2015 to 2019. The synthesis of the articles was done in a descriptive manner in two categories according to the type of approach. RESULTS: 13 articles were selected, with a predominance of ecological studies. Regions with deficient access to health services, high population density, higher rates of poverty, intense migratory flow, border areas, as well as precarious socioeconomic conditions, and risk behaviors are associated with higher rates of infection. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the influence of regional inequalities on the incidence of HIV infection is revealed, confirming the relevance of spatial analysis techniques for mapping the distribution of diseases and identifying risk areas.

The HIV epidemic in Colombia: spatial and temporal trends analysis.

BACKGROUND: Colombia has the fourth highest incidence rate of HIV/AIDS among all Latin American countries and it has been increasing since the 1980s. However, the number of studies that addresses this trend is limited. Here, we employed spatial and temporal trend analyses to study the behaviour of the epidemic in the Colombian territory. METHODS: Our sample included 72,994 cases of HIV/AIDS and 21,898 AIDS-related deaths reported to the National Ministry of Health between 2008 and 2016. We employed the joinpoint regression model to analyse the annual HIV/AIDS incidence and AIDS mortality rates. In the spatial analysis, we used univariate autocorrelation techniques and the Kernel density estimator. RESULTS: While the HIV/AIDS incidence had an increasing trend in Colombia, the AIDS mortality rate was stable. HIV/AIDS incidence and AIDS mortality showed a downward trend in the 0-14 age group. An upward trend was observed for HIV/AIDS incidence in people older than 15 years and with the highest trend in the 65 years and above group. AIDS mortality showed an increasing trend among people aged 65 years or older. The comparison between the sexes showed an upward trend of HIV/AIDS incidence in all age groups and AIDS-mortality rates in 65 years and above in men, while in women, the incidence was upward among those aged 45 years and above, and concerning the AIDS-mortality rate in the 45-64 group. The high-high clusters of HIV/AIDS incidence and AIDS mortality were located in the Andean and Caribbean regions. CONCLUSION: Our study found an upward trend in HIV/AIDS incidence and a stable trend in the AIDS mortality rate in Colombia. The downward trend in HIV/AIDS incidence and AIDS mortality rate in the 0-14 age group reflects the downwards mother-to-child HIV transmission. The upward trend in HIV/AIDS incidence in older women and AIDS mortality in younger women rates, compared with men, may be due to late diagnosis and treatment. The Caribbean and the 'coffee belt' regions were the most impacted by the HIV epidemic, most likely due to sexual tourism. Our results provide crucial information that may help Colombian health authorities fight HIV transmission.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the prevalence and factors associated with depressive symptoms and functional capacity in the elderly. Method: Analytical cross-sectional study with 100 elderly individuals in a Basic Health Unit (UBS) in northern Brazil. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Katz scale and the Lawton and Brody scale were used. Data was analyzed with Pearson's Chi-square test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient and Student's t tests, and a p value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence of symptoms of depression was estimated at 22%. It was higher in elderly people with poor self-rated health, sedentary and who did not participate in social groups. Functional dependency of elderly for performing instrumental activities of daily living was estimated at 46%. It was associated with depressive symptoms and old age. Conclusion: The use of instruments for early detection of depressive symptoms and functional disability allows risk stratification and prevention of the worsening of these living conditions of the elderly.

Ensino superior em enfermagem: processos e tendências de trabalho docente / Higher education in nursing: processes and trends of teaching work

Objetivo: identificar como está a educação no ensino superior de Enfermagem, os processos e as tendências de trabalho do docente. Método: trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico tipo revisão integrativa, em artigos publicados entre os anos de 2007 a 2017, nas bases de dados MEDLINE, LILACS e BDENF. Organizaram-se os dados em categorias e se avaliou a qualidade metodológica dos artigos pela classificação segundo os sete níveis hierárquicos de evidência, e os resultados apresentam-se em figuras. Resultados: encontraram-se 13 artigos escritos por enfermeiros e publicados no período de 2010 a 2014. Emergiram-se duas categorias: Cursos de Enfermagem e Tendências do Trabalho Docente e Diretrizes Curriculares do Ensino Superior em Enfermagem. Conclusão: entende-se que a educação de Enfermagem, o ensino-aprendizagem e o trabalho docente não se articulam entre a prática do ensino, a pesquisa e a extensão, prejudicando o fazer e o pensar críticos do corpo discente. Percebe-se que as produções dos docentes ainda carecem de estratégicas inovadoras que sinalizem, aos discentes, uma prática profissional mais condizente com a realidade vigente das necessidades de saúde da população.(AU)

Educação popular em saúde, pensamento crítico e os sete saberes / Popular education in health, critical thinking and the seven type of knowledge

Objetivo: analisar sobre a inserção do pensamento crítico e dos sete saberes na Educação Popular em Saúde. Método: estudo qualitativo, descritivo, de análise reflexiva, guiado por revisão narrativa da literatura. Resultados: os sete saberes de Edgar Morin estão uniformemente voltados para a educação popular em saúde pautada na valorização do usuário/educando como homo complexus: remetendo-o para questões ontológicas e solução de problemas mundiais (saberes 3 e 4), enxergando-o compreensivamente na medida em que lhe confere liberdade e diversidade de expressão (saberes 6 e 7) e o enfrentamento das incertezas e do erro e ilusão em contexto de construção dialógica do conhecimento pertinente (saberes 1, 2 e 5). Conclusão: corrobora-se para uma postura profissional totalizante e humana, em uma educação popular em saúde coparticipativa e sensível à consciência dos usuários. As implicações teóricas são concernentes ao envolvimento da enfermagem no pensamento crítico-complexo por intermédio de trabalho qualitativoparticipante e no combate de conceitos errôneos sobre educação popular em saúde desde a academia.(AU)

Tecnologia socioeducacional de videodebate para o cultivo do envelhecimento ativo / Socio-educational video debate technology for active aging promotion

Objective: Evaluate the relevance and efficiency of socio-educational video debate technology as a strategy to promote active aging. Methodology: Convergent care research was conducted with 16 elderly users of a basic health unit in Belém, to implement the technology by selecting YouTube videos, which were analyzed and discussed, seeking to coordinate the video plot of each video with determining factors of active aging, principles of continuing education, and life experience of the elderly participants. Results: The following categories emerged from debates: "Learning how to know oneself," "Learning how to do things differently," "Learning how to live with others," and "Learning to how to be a better person." The video debate allowed behavioral changes in nutrition and relationship, as evaluated using the lifestyle scale, before and after the video debate. Conclusion: Video debate technology proved to be efficient and relevant as it allowed the elderly to reflect in groups by sharing ideas, learning together and building new strategies for active aging.
