Educational technologies for accident prevention due to falls in childhood: a scoping review.

OBJECTIVES: to map evidence on educational technology use for accident prevention due to falls in childhood. METHODS: a scoping review, carried out in October and November 2022, in the MEDLINE, Web of Science, BDENF and CINAHL databases and LILACS bibliographic index. There was no delimitation of language or time. Data were extracted and analyzed descriptively by two independent researchers. The research protocol was registered in the Open Science Framework. RESULTS: twenty-six studies were selected. Booklets, pamphlets and leaflets were the most used technologies, presenting health services as the most frequent environment to develop research on fall prevention. The technologies developed were important outcomes: increased knowledge of children, family members, caregivers, health and education professionals. CONCLUSIONS: educational technology use makes it possible to increase knowledge, adopt safe practices and reduce falls.

El protocolo de investigación fue registrado en el Open Science Framework. Resultados: se seleccionaron 26 estudios. Los cuadernillos, folletos y volantes fueron las tecnologías más utilizadas, presentando los servicios de salud como el ámbito más frecuente para desarrollar investigaciones sobre la prevención de caídas. Las tecnologías desarrolladas fueron resultados importantes: mayor conocimiento de los niños, familiares, cuidadores, profesionales de la salud y la educación. Conclusiones: el uso de tecnologías educativas posibilita aumentar los conocimientos, adoptar prácticas seguras y reducir las caídas.

RESUMO Objetivos: mapear evidências sobre a utilização de tecnologias educacionais para a prevenção de acidentes por quedas na infância. Métodos: revisão de escopo, realizada nos meses de outubro e novembro de 2022, nas bases de dados MEDLINE, Web of Science, BDENF e CINAHL e índice bibliográfico LILACS. Não houve delimitação de idioma e de tempo. Os dados foram extraídos e analisados descritivamente por dois pesquisadores independentes. O protocolo de pesquisa foi registrado na Open Science Framework. Resultados: selecionaram-se 26 estudos. As cartilhas, panfletos e folhetos foram as tecnologias mais utilizadas, apresentando os serviços de saúde como o ambiente mais frequente para desenvolver pesquisa sobre prevenção de quedas. As tecnologias desenvolvidas constituíram desfechos importantes: aumento do conhecimento das crianças, dos familiares, cuidadores, profissionais de saúde e de educação. Conclusões: a utilização de tecnologias educacionais possibilita o aumento de conhecimento, adoção de práticas seguras e redução de quedas.

Evaluation of Primary Healthcare from the perspective of child caregivers: an integrative review. / Avaliação da Atenção Primária à Saúde sob a ótica de cuidadores de crianças: revisão integrativa.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the quality evaluation of Primary Healthcare services in the literature from the perspective of child caregivers through applying the PCATool, children's version. METHOD: An integrative review performed in the MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, BDENF and Web of Science databases. RESULT: Seventeen (17) articles were selected. All included studies were descriptive (100%) and had evidence level IV (100%). The affiliation degree component (average = 7.72) of the longitudinality attribute, the utilization component (average = 7.14) of the first contact access attribute, and the information system component (average = 6.63) of the coordination attribute presented high average scores (≥6.6), while the other attributes and components obtained low average scores (<6.6). CONCLUSION: Although management of Primary Healthcare services has consistently applied efforts to improve their performance and quality in providing and delivering care to the population, it has been observed that problems related to the process and structure of these services still persist given that most of the attributes were poorly evaluated.

Primary care assessment from a male population perspective / La evaluación de atención primaria a la salud en la perspectiva de la población masculina / A avaliação da atenção primária a saúde na perspectiva da população masculina

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the quality of primary health care from the perspective of the male population. Method: a cross-sectional descriptive-evaluative study conducted at the family health units of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, with the male population being interviewed through the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCAT). Results: 301 participants with mean age of 51.34 years, married, incomplete elementary school and monthly income between one and two minimum wages. The evaluation was positive for the following care domains: utilization, information system and longitudinality. The features access, comprehensiveness of care, service available and service provided, family centeredness and community orientation obtained a negative evaluation. Conclusion: the features of primary care are unsatisfactory, indicating the need to expand access to services offered and to qualify care for male users.

Estratégias educativas com adolescentes de risco para diabetes mellitus: estudo comparativo / Educational strategies with adolescents at risk from diabetes mellitus: a comparative study / Estrategias educativas con adolescentes de riesgo para diabetes mellitus: estudio comparativo

OBJETIVO: Comparar o conhecimento e a atitude referidos dos adolescentes com fatores de risco para diabetes mellitus 2 (DM2) após a implementação de duas estratégias educativas. MÉTODO: Estudo comparativo e de intervenção com participação de 60 alunos de duas escolas públicas, divididos em dois grupos: GA (n=30) e GB (n=30). GA recebeu intervenção educativa individual; e GB, intervenção educativa grupal. Utilizaram-se questionários para avaliar nível de conhecimento antes, um dia após e decorridos 60 dias das intervenções, quando se avaliou também a intenção de mudança de hábitos. RESULTADOS: Houve aumento estatisticamente significante no nível de conhecimento de ambas as intervenções. Ao comparar GA e GB, após as intervenções, observou-se que a intenção para mudança de hábitos foi semelhante. CONCLUSÃO: As duas intervenções educativas foram eficazes no ganho de conhecimento e podem ser utilizadas nas escolas para prevenção do DM2 em adolescentes de risco.

AIM: To compare the knowledge and behavior of adolescents with risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus after the implementation of two educational strategies. METHOD: Comparative and intervention study with the participation of 60 students from two public schools divided into two groups: GA (n = 30) and GB (n = 30). GA received individual educational intervention, while GB had group educational intervention. We used questionnaires to assess the level of knowledge prior to intervention, in the day after it, and 60 days after the interventions, when we also assessed the intention of changing habits. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant increase in the level of knowledge as a result of both interventions. By comparing GA and GB after the interventions, we observed that the intention to change habits were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: Both educational interventions were effective in raising knowledge and can be used in schools for the prevention of T2DM in at-risk adolescents.
