Perceptions of the oral health of their patients reported by Brazilian medical residents in psychiatry.

Persons with severe mental disorders have higher chances of presenting oral health problems than persons in the general population. Mental disorders are considered public-health problems worldwide. Interpreting statements on oral health made by medical students receiving instruction in psychiatry is essential to provide elements for reflection on their difficulties, barriers or limited knowledge in managing their patients' oral health. Based on the presupposition that doctors provide their patients with no instruction or support concerning oral complaints, because these do not symbolize the same challenges as those emerging from severe mental disorders. The aim of this study was to interpret symbolic meanings of statements expressed by medical residents in psychiatry at a specialized university outpatient clinic, about their patients' oral health. Qualitative research using the Qualitative-Clinical method was conducted, adopting the theoretical reference of medical psychology. Data were analyzed by the Clinical-Qualitative Content method and the Seven-Step technique. Based on 06 interviews analyzed, the following categories emerged: "What do I do? Psychiatrists' dilemmas about not understanding their role in patients' oral health; and "Dentists do not participate in Balint' so-called "collusion in anonymity". It was concluded that among others, the paradigm consisted of a sociological composition, therefore it was stronger than personal decisions that might eventually oppose the barriers to interdisciplinary work posed by the institutional model, which were intertwined with paradigmatic barriers. Thus, specialist training should include a dental perspective, so that oral examinations would always be included in the physical examinations, from an interdisciplinary perspective of the integrity of health-care.

Semblance of a physician: medical students' experiences during Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus clinic simulation / Com o semblante de médico: experiências de estudantes de medicina durante a simulação clínica em Diabetes tipo 2 / Con el semblante de médico: experiencias de estudiantes de medicina durante la simulación clínica en Diabetes tipo 2

This qualitative research aimed to understand the experiences of a fourth-year medical class during two clinical simulation scenarios of type 2 diabetes management in Primary Care. Ten simulated students were interviewed. The results describe the symbolic conception of diabetes and its treatment as anguish, damage, condemnation and an unpleasant sentence that affects the appropriation and performance of the medical role by students. Considering Medical Psychology, we suggest that such subjective factors should be addressed in teaching-learning in addition to commonly cognitive aspects mentioned in the medical education literature in order for students to develop the work profile to cope with diabetes in Primary Care. Clinical simulation facilitates the subjective approach through its group support component to promote reflection, insights and self-awareness.(AU)

Esta pesquisa qualitativa objetivou compreender as experiências de estudantes de um quarto ano médico durante dois cenários de simulação clínica do manejo do diabetes tipo 2 na Atenção Primária. Dez estudantes simulados foram entrevistados. Os resultados descrevem a concepção simbólica do diabetes e seu tratamento como angústia, dano, condenação e uma sentença desagradável que afeta a apropriação e o desempenho do papel médico pelos estudantes. Considerando a Psicologia Médica, sugerimos que os fatores subjetivos apontados devem ser abordados no ensino-aprendizado além de aspectos cognitivos mais comuns na literatura de educação médica para que os estudantes desenvolvam o perfil de trabalho ao enfrentamento do diabetes na Atenção Primária. A simulação clínica permite esta abordagem subjetiva por seu componente de suporte grupal promovendo reflexão, insights e autoconsciência.(AU)

Esta encuesta cualitativa tuvo el objetivo de comprender las experiencias de estudiantes del cuarto año de medicina durante dos escenarios de simulación clínica del manejo de la diabetes tipo 2 en la Atención Primaria. Fueron entrevistados 10 estudiantes simulados. Los resultados describen la concepción simbólica de la diabetes y su tratamiento, tales como angustia, daño, condenación y una sentencia desagradable que afecta la apropiación y el desempeño del papel médico por parte de los estudiantes. Considerando la Psicología Médica, sugerimos que los factores subjetivos señalados deben abordarse en la enseñanza-aprendizaje, más allá de aspectos cognitivos más comunes en la literatura de educación médica para que los estudiantes desarrollen el perfil de trabajo para el enfrentamiento de la diabetes en la Atención Primaria. La simulación clínica permite este abordaje subjetivo por su componente de soporte grupal promoviendo reflexión, insights y autoconciencia.(AU)

Experiences in elderly people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in relation to the use of long-term home oxygen therapy: a qualitative study about feelings attributed to therapy.

BACKGROUND: Elderly people are more likely to suffer severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and require long-term home oxygen therapy (LTOT) as part of their treatment. LTOT has advantages such as improvement in symptoms, but there are also disadvantages such as physical barriers, psychosocial barriers and emotional challenges. The aim of this study is to understand the experiences of elderly people with COPD using LTOT with respect to their feelings attributed to therapy. METHODS: Qualitative study. Seven semidirected interviews were conducted with patients with a confirmed COPD diagnosis who used LTOT and were treated at an outpatient service. The content analysis technique was applied with the support of WebQDA software 2.0. RESULTS: Three categories emerged that were associated with the use of LTOT: (1) poor self-image; (2) feelings of sadness and (3) the impact of LTOT on others such as family and friends. CONCLUSIONS: LTOT in elderly people with COPD was associated with a poor self-image, feelings of sadness and impacted on others apart from the patient. When LTOT is prescribed, healthcare practitioners should proactively address these concerns to minimise the negative biopsychosocial experiences caused by LTOT.

A nutritionist approach to psychiatric treatment: Notes from a brief experience

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aims to describe the work of the nutritionist in a psychiatric outpatient clinic of a university hospital, with patients with excess weight due to the use of certain psychiatric medications. Method: Content analysis of the clinical history and brief field notes, as complementary material. The clinical-qualitative method was applied in data collection and analysis. Results: Conversations with patients focused on their relationship with food were more effective in managing excessive weight gain than insistence on individualized and restrictive diets. The role of the family was important to strengthen the bond and favor dietary changes. Efforts to identify the emotions involved in eating, including the pleasures given by emotional, cultural, and social factors were also important. Conclusions: Nutritional care in the psychiatric field should emphasize dialogue related to the eating practices of patients. Strict dietary prescriptions can have the same unproductive effect as traditional biomedical practices if they do not consider subjective aspects of patients.

RESUMEN Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue describir el trabajo del nutricionista en una clínica ambulatoria de psiquiatría de un hospital universitario, en pacientes con exceso de peso debido al uso de ciertos medicamentos psiquiátricos. Método: Análisis del contenido de la historia clínica y de breves notas de campo, como material complementario. Se aplicó el método clínico-cualitativo en la recolección y análisis de los datos. Resultados: El autor principal de este artículo, una nutricionista, indica que las conversaciones con pacientes centradas en su relación con la comida fueron más efectivas para manejar el aumento de peso excesivo do que la insistencia en las dietas individualizadas y restrictivas. El rol de la familia fue importante para fortalecer el vínculo e favorecer los cambios alimentarios. También fueran importantes los esfuerzos para identificar las emociones involucradas en la alimentación, incluidas los placeres dados por factores emocionales, culturales y sociales. Conclusiones: La atención nutricional en el campo psiquiátrico debe enfatizar el diálogo relacionado con las prácticas alimentarias de los pacientes. Las prescripciones estrictamente dietéticas pueden tener el mismo efecto improductivo que las prácticas biomédicas tradicionales si tampoco toman en cuenta los aspectos subjetivos de los pacientes.

The structure of qualitative studies: a bibliometric pattern of biomedical literature.

The lack of knowledge in the biomedical literature regarding the validity of qualitative studies might be related to the lower number of qualitative studies that have been published. The criticisms range from a lack of theoretical depth to the superficial discussions of empirical findings. The aim of this study was to explore the bibliometric entities and the trends in the structure of qualitative research in the biomedical literature. A bibliometric analysis and mapping of the biomedical literature were used. The number of studies selected was 1,725. The heath themes with the most publications included Health Management (12%) and Women's Health (9.8%), while the authors of the studies had academic affiliation in 76 different countries. The sample sizes were between 11 and 20 participants (27.13%) and the Grounded Theory framework (9.04%) stood out. The improved structuring of a qualitative research extends the effective communication between health providers and researchers, and support in the management of clinical situations.

Seven steps for qualitative treatment in health research: the Clinical-Qualitative Content Analysis.

Qualitative Health research procedures that are not always applied, mainly in the analysis phase. Our objective is to present a systematized technique of step-by-step procedures for qualitative content analysis in the health field: Clinical-Qualitative Content Analysis. Our proposal consider that the qualitative research applied to the field of health, can acquire a perspective analogous to clinical practice and aims to interpret meanings expressed in reports through individual interviews or statements. This analysis takes part of the Clinical-Qualitative Method. The literature review was realized through: a book chapter, eight original articles and three methodological articles. The Clinical-qualitative Content Analysis technique comprises seven steps: 1) Editing material for analysis; 2) Floating reading; 3) Construction of the units of analysis; 4) Construction of codes of meaning; 5) General refining of the codes and the Construction of categories; 6) Discussion; 7) Validity. The clinical-qualitative analysis presupposes and involves a critical reflection on the processes carried out at each step. This reflection is an extremely rich process, if carried out collectively and in dialogue with other researchers with some proficiency in qualitative methods.

Understanding bereavement experiences of mothers facing the loss of newborn infants / Experiências de luto das mães frente à perda do filho neonato

Abstract Objective: to understand mothers' bereavement experiences regarding the loss of their newborn child in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a Brazilian university hospital. Methods: the study was designed by the clinical-qualitative method to understand the meaning of the emerging relationships of health scenarios. Sample consisted of six mothers. The sufficiency of the sample was verified through the saturation of the data. The data collection instrument was a semistructured interview with script of open questions, the collected material was recorded and transcribed in full. Thematic analysis was performed by two independent authors. Results: feelings and perceptions of the grieving process gave rise to three categories: 1. Guilt and fantasy of bereavement related to the death and grief for their children; 2.

Fases psicológicas de gestantes com HIV: estudo qualitativo em hospital / Psychological phases of pregnant women with HIV: a qualitative study in a hospital / Fases psicológicas de embarazadas con VIH: estudio cualitativo en un hospital

Resumo Houve mudança de paradigma quanto ao prognóstico da infecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana, passando da morte para problema crônico, mas ainda hoje a infecção implica revisão de vida da mulher que convive com a doença. O objetivo deste artigo foi apresentar as fases psicológicas pelas quais passam as gestantes após descobrirem a contaminação. Foi realizado estudo clínico-qualitativo a partir de entrevistas individuais, e a amostra foi intencional e fechada pelo critério de saturação teórica. Após análise qualitativa de conteúdo, foram estabelecidas três fases psicológicas evolutivas: confusão emocional, dúvida existencial e ambiguidade funcional. A notícia do teste positivo desencadeia emoções intensas e mecanismos de defesa, sobretudo devido ao medo de transmissão vertical. Dessa forma, é fundamental que equipes de saúde ampliem a compreensão sobre esta vivência tão significativa para gestantes e seus familiares.

Abstract There has been a paradigm shift regarding the prognosis of Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection, changing it from death to a chronic condition, but the infection still implies a review of the life of women who are living with this virus. The objective of this article is to present the psychological phases which pregnant women go through after knowing about their infection. A clinical-qualitative study was carried out, applying individual interviews, with an intentional sample, using the theoretical saturation criterion. Three evolutionary psychological phases emerged from the analysis: emotional confusion; existential doubt; functional ambiguity. The news of the presence of the virus brings intense emotions triggering defense mechanisms, especially, against the strong fear of vertical transmission. It is, thus, fundamental for health teams to broaden the understanding of this experience so significant for pregnant women and their families.

Resumen Hubo un cambio de paradigma con respecto al pronóstico de la infección por Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana, pasando de la muerte a un problema crónico, pero aún hoy la infección implica la revisión de la vida de la mujer que convive con la enfermedad. El objetivo de este artículo fue presentar las fases psicológicas por las que pasan las embarazadas luego de descubrir la contaminación. Se realizó un estudio clínico-cualitativo, a partir de entrevistas individuales y la muestra fue intencional y cerrada por el criterio de saturación teórica. Luego del análisis cualitativo de contenido, se establecieron tres fases psicológicas evolutivas: confusión emocional, duda existencial y ambigüedad funcional. La noticia del test positivo desencadena emociones intensas y mecanismos de defensa, sobre todo debido al temor a la transmisión vertical. De esta forma, es fundamental que los equipos de salud amplíen la comprensión sobre esta vivencia tan significativa para las embarazadas y sus familiares.

How Brazilian dentists work within a new community care context? A qualitative study.

The aim of this study was to analyze the value and meanings that dental surgeons attribute to the Primary Health Care setting, where health promotion is encouraged over a mechanistic performance of procedures. A qualitative study, involving ten Brazilian dental surgeons working in Primary Care in 2016, was designed. In-depth semi-structured interviews were performed, with all interviews recorded, transcribed and subsequently submitted to Qualitative Content Analysis. Despite the Healthcare Promotion model proposed by the Brazilian oral health policy, dental surgeons demonstrated preferences for private and traditional dental practices. These characteristics are counterproductive in public oral health services, which aim to achieve collective health benefits. Traditional practice is based upon a specific and restricted focus, as opposed to overall patient care, hence maintaining the original professional identity, ruled by manual procedures, while demonstrating scientifically fragile understanding of disease processes. Despite the implementation of public service models that aim at change, counterproductive characteristics associated with the deeply rooted traditional management strategies were evidenced.

A clínica do dentista na Estratégia Saúde da Família: entre a inovação e o conservadorismo / The dentist's clinical practice in the Family Health Strategy: between innovation and conservatism

Resumo Objetivou-se compreender com maior grau de aproximação aspectos da relação entre a odontologia e a sociedade por meio da observação direta do cotidiano e do discurso de dentistas membros de equipes da Estratégia Saúde da Família, que discorreram sobre sua terapêutica na área da saúde bucal num novo cenário normativo. Estudo desenvolvido utilizando o Método Clínico-Qualitativo durante o ano de 2016, que partiu do tema "terapêutica da cárie dentária" como assunto disparador para o desenvolvimento das entrevistas, realizadas por meio de roteiro semidirigido de questões abertas em profundidade, nas próprias unidades de saúde. O material obtido foi analisado por meio de Análise Qualitativa de Conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciaram configurações de poder provenientes de um modelo odontológico conservador, desfavoráveis ao propósito da Promoção da Saúde, mas apontaram também potencialidades trazidas pelo modelo de Saúde da Família, reveladas por meio da criatividade e reflexividade sobre ações educativas e desafios que puderam estimular o profissional. Considerou-se, entretanto, que o trabalho do dentista nesse contexto conservou, predominantemente, um modus operandi hegemônico, caracterizado por relações desequilibradas de poder.

Abstract The aim was to better understand aspects of the relationship between dentistry and society through the direct observation of the daily service and the discourse of dentists members of the Family Health Strategy (Primary Care) teams, who discussed their oral health therapy in a new regulatory scenario. A study developed using the Clinical-Qualitative Method during the year 2016, starting from the theme "dental caries therapy" as a triggering subject for the development of the interviews, carried out by a semi-structured questionnaire of in-depth open questions in the units of health. The material obtained was analyzed through Qualitative Content Analysis. The results showed power settings descended from a conservative dental point of view, unfavorable to the purposes of Health Promotion paradigm, but also pointed to potential brought by the Family Health model, revealed through creativity and reflexivity about educational actions and challenges that could stimulate the professional. It was considered, however, that the work of the dentist in this context retained predominantly a hegemonic modus operandi, characterized by unbalanced relations of power.

Eating Behaviors in Postpartum: A Qualitative Study of Women with Obesity.

In postpartum, women experience major changes in their lives; they are forced to deal with new internal and external demands for attention and care for themselves and the baby. Postpartum feeding also suffers changes in this stage of life, because women find more barriers to healthy eating, which can put them at greater risk of overweight or obesity. This is a qualitative study, through in-depth semi-directed interviews in an intentional sample with postpartum women with obesity, closed by saturation and qualitative content analysis. Sixteen women were included. Three categories emerged from this analysis: (1) from pregnancy to postpartum: changes in body and eating behavior; (2) eating to fill the void of helplessness felt during the postpartum period; and (3) breastfeeding and baby feeding. Women with obesity eat to relieve unpleasant feelings during the postnatal period. The postpartum period is an opportune moment to introduce long-term changes in the eating behaviors and mental wellbeing of these women. Healthcare teams need to restructure to provide more focused follow-up care for women with obesity during the postnatal period in terms of their physical and emotional health.

The free spirit: spiritualism meanings by a Nursing team on psychiatry / El espíritu suelto: significados de espiritualidad por equipo de enfermería en psiquiatría / O espírito solto: significados de espiritualidade por equipe de enfermagem em psiquiatria

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the meanings attributed by nursing professionals in psychiatry to spirituality and its relationship with care. Method: Clinical-qualitative, with appreciation of symbolic meanings. We interviewed 18 individuals for a semi-structured script of open questions and the data were analyzed in the light of psychoanalytic hermeneutics. The discussion was undertaken with the overlap of understanding of the sacred symbol, psychological and the meaning of life. Results: Different spiritualities are interposed by personal restlessness and the experience of transience. Spirituality aids in social functions, personal balance and commitment to endure the anguish of transience. Among professionals, it has been shown as an ethical-combative attitude to evil forms, but there is a restriction in dealing with patients' spirituality. Final considerations: The meanings pointed to the limits of human reason, resembling caregivers and patients in subjective conditions by which they avoid spirituality in psychiatry. It is suggested that spiritual attention be given to professionals.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Analizar los significados atribuidos por profesionales de enfermería en psiquiatría a la espiritualidad y su relación con el cuidado. Método: Clínico-cualitativo, con estimación de los significados simbólicos. Fueron entrevistados 18 sujetos por un itinerario semiestructurado de preguntas abiertas y los datos analizados a la luz de la hermenéutica psicoanalítica. La discusión se emprendió con la superposición del entendimiento del símbolo sagrado, psicológico y del sentido de la vida. Resultados: Distintas espiritualidades se interponen por la inquietud personal y la experiencia con la transitoriedad. La espiritualidad ayuda en las funciones sociales, en el equilibrio personal y en el empeño en soportar las angustias de la transitoriedad. Entre los profesionales se mostró como una actitud ético-combativa a las formas maléficas, pero hay restricción en trabajar con la espiritualidad de los pacientes. Consideraciones finales: Los significados señalaron los límites de la razón humana, asemejando cuidadores y pacientes en condiciones subjetivas por las que evitan la espiritualidad en la psiquiatría. Se sugiere atención espiritual para los profesionales.

Resultados: Distintas espiritualidades se interpõem pela inquietação pessoal e a experiência com a transitoriedade. A espiritualidade ajuda nas funções sociais, no equilíbrio pessoal e no empenho em suportar as angústias da transitoriedade. Entre os profissionais, se mostrou como uma atitude ético-combativa às formas maléficas, mas há restrição em lidar com a espiritualidade dos pacientes. Considerações finais: Os significados apontaram para os limites da razão humana, assemelhando cuidadores e pacientes em condições subjetivas pelas quais evitam a espiritualidade em psiquiatria. Sugere-se atenção espiritual para os profissionais.

O transtorno bipolar como experiência: a perspectiva dos filhos / Bipolar disorder as experience: the perspective of children

RESUMO Objetivo Compreender o transtorno afetivo bipolar (TAB) e suas implicações pela perspectiva dos filhos adultos de mães que receberam o diagnóstico quando eles eram crianças. Métodos Pesquisa qualitativa, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas de questões abertas em profundidade com 21 filhos de pacientes do Ambulatório de Psiquiatria Geral de Adultos do HC/Unicamp. A técnica de tratamento de dados foi feita por meio da análise de conteúdo das entrevistas transcritas na íntegra e categorização. Resultados Os significados psicológicos atribuídos pelos filhos à experiência de ter uma mãe com TAB possibilitaram a elaboração de um esquema da infância, adolescência à vida adulta. Os achados revelam que na infância a instabilidade da mãe, característica do TAB, gera sentimentos de culpa e desamparo nos filhos, pela percepção da introspecção materna nos períodos dos episódios em contraste com os momentos de remissão, nos quais percebem envolvimento emocional e disponibilidade para a maternidade. Na adolescência, os filhos contestam as demandas de suas mães. Demonstram identificação com os sintomas maternos. Na vida adulta, há percepção de melhora na relação mãe-filho diante da abdicação das escolhas pessoais para a dedicação aos cuidados à mãe. Os achados revelam que a compreensão do TAB feita por meio da experiência dos filhos com suas mães fica apenas na racionabilidade, pois eles não conseguem manejá-la de forma efetiva e sentem-se aprisionados. Conclusões A equipe de saúde pode auxiliar os filhos desde o manejo de questões cotidianas até o diagnóstico precoce de psicopatologias ao se dedicar ao acolhimento deles quando da vinda de suas mães ao tratamento.

ABSTRACT Objective To understand bipolar disorder (BD) from the perspective of the adult offspring of mothers who received the diagnosis when they were children and their implications. Methods Qualitative research conducted through in-depth semistructured interviews with 21 children of patients of the General Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic for Adults at HC/Unicamp. The technical data processing was done through qualitative content analysis of the transcribed interviews and categorization. Results The psychological meanings attributed by the offspring to the experience of having a mother with BD enabled the elaboration of a schematic from childhood, adolescence to adulthood. The findings reveal that in childhood the instability of the mother, characteristic of BD, generates feelings of guilt and helplessness in the children, by the perception of maternal introspection in the periods of the episodes in contrast to moments of remission in which they perceive emotional involvement and availability for motherhood. In adolescence, the children challenge the demands of their mothers. Demonstrate identification with maternal symptoms. In adulthood, there is perception of improvement in the mother-child relationship due to the abdication of personal choices for dedication to the mother's care. The findings reveal that the understanding of BD made through the experience of the offspring with their mothers is only in rationality, they can not handle it effectively and they feel trapped. Conclusions The health team involved can help these children from management of daily issues to the early diagnosis of psychopathologies by dedicating themselves to receiving these children when their mothers come to the treatment.

Vivências de gestantes em situação de prisão / Experiences of pregnant women in prison situation

Buscou-se conhecer as vivências de gestantes em situação prisional. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo e descritivo realizado em uma penitenciária feminina do Estado de São Paulo/Brasil, com 14 gestantes e uso da técnica de análise de conteúdo fundamentada nas abordagens psicoemocionais. Identificaram-se as categorias: Busca da Autoproteção, Sentimento de Culpa e Construção da Nova Identidade. A vivência em cárcere significou solidão, medo, impotência e resignação. Há restrição nas relações familiares, na convivência social, no suprimento alimentar, da privacidade e do direito ao sono/repouso, além de impedimento do exercício da maternidade. Demonstraram sentimento de culpa e dor devido a privação de vivenciar a maternidade e a amamentação, além de medo de perder a guarda de seu filho. Para conviver no cárcere, as mulheres tiveram que se adaptar à nova realidade. Conclui-se que as gestantes presidiárias buscam se auto-proteger para sobreviver as perdas e ao rompimento dos laços afetivos e sociais.

The aim was to understand the experiences of pregnant women in prison situation. We conducted a qualitative and descriptive study in a female prison in the State of São Paulo/Brazil, with 14 pregnant women and we used the content analysis technique grounded on psycho-emotional approaches. We identified the categories: Search for Self-Protection, Guilt Feeling, Building the New Identity. The experience in jail meant solitude, fear, impotence, and resignation. There are restrictions on family relationships, social conviviality, food supplement, privacy and on the right to sleep/rest, besides the impediment to exercise motherhood. Women demonstrated guilt and pain due to the privation to experience maternity and breastfeeding, besides the fear to lose their child's custody. The women had to adjust themselves to the new reality to live in prison. We conclude that pregnant inmates try self-protection to survive the losses and the affection and social disruptions.
