Authors: Figueiredo Camila de Souza , Sales Mary Valda Souza
Published: October 2024

Inserido no contexto dos estudos contemporâneos sobre educação e colonialidade, observa-se a necessidade de reexaminar a história de Abya Ayla visando a revisão do pensamento educativo que permeia o currículo. Dessa forma, o texto tem por objetivo o resgate de pensamentos de povos originários e subalternizados com vistas a elaboração de um currículo decolonial. Para tanto, são discutidos conceitos de modernidade e pós-modernidade a partir da crítica ao pensamento eurocentrado. Explora a relação entre capitalismo, colonialidade e educação, indagando sobre o papel das instituições formadoras e docentes na proposição de currículos decolonais. Conclui ressaltando a importância de contemplar os anseios dos estudantes na proposição dos currículos no contexto universitário, relativizando o conhecimento eurocêntrico e considerando outras formas de pensar, aprender e ser.
Por uma formação menor
Authors: CARVALHO SANTOS IGOR ALEXANDRE DE
Published: October 2024

O artigo discute a necessidade de uma formação educacional que vá além do paradigma eurocêntrico, colonialista e capitalocêntrico, buscando inspiração em linhas de pensamento potentes que não reproduzam modelos etnocêntricos. Esta formação proposta busca produzir processos de singularização insurrecionais e fabuladores, inspirados na literatura de Franz Kafka e na filosofia da diferença. A pesquisa adota uma abordagem teórico-conceitual, utilizando o princípio rizomático da heterogênese para explorar a conexão entre literatura, filosofia e educação. Tal dispositivo metodológico não sobrepõe áreas de conhecimento, nem privilegia pesquisas de campo sobre teóricas, reconhecendo a interação entre teoria e prática. Em vez de hierarquizar pares opostos, como teoria e prática, busca-se uma abordagem sinérgica que permita uma compreensão mais imanente e horizontal e re(ex)sistências no campo da educação especialmente ao que tange aos processos formativos.
A escrevivência como um processo de libertação e de reescrita da vida
Authors: De Freitas Dias Juliana , Cardoso de Sousa Neiva Maria Luísa
Published: October 2024

Este artigo sintoniza com o desejo de que, dentro das salas de aula brasileiras, pessoas negras, especialmente as meninas e mulheres, não sejam tratadas apenas como parte objetificada e apagada de uma narrativa histórica racista, de base ideológica moderno-colonial. Partilhamos reflexões críticas sobre a construção da escrevivência como um ato de resistência, como um gesto libertador e revolucionário de escrita, que versa sobre as minorias e para as minorias, com o intuito de focalizar o protagonismo das mulheres pretas, para as suas histórias e conquistas. O objetivo central é analisar a perspectiva etnográfica crítica de uma das obras de Conceição Evaristo, um livro de contos chamado “Insubmissas lágrimas de mulheres”. Para compreender elementos do racismo estrutural, do feminismo decolonial e para ressaltar a contribuição de uma literatura representativa para jovens que necessitam cada dia mais de pertencimento, analisamos composição textual de dois contos desse livro que narra histórias de vida de mulheres pretas brasileiras. É um artigo ensaístico, com nuance autobiográfica (focalizada na narrativa de vida da primeira autora), cuja ação discursiva se sintoniza com a educação linguística e literária crítica, através de processos de leitura e de escrita baseados em uma autoria decolonial, como a posta em prática por Conceição em sua escrevivência. As reflexões foram feitas com base em teorias sociodiscursivas e teorias decoloniais relacionadas ao feminismo negro, à luta antiracista e contra a lesbofobia.

Background: Blood pressure (BP) monitoring is critical in managing hypertension across various populations, including children, pregnant women, and patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Traditional clinic-based BP measurements often lead to misdiagnoses due to white-coat and masked hypertension. Aim: This review highlights the significance of home BP monitoring in children, pregnancy, and CKD, evaluating its accuracy, practicality, and integration into clinical practice. Methods: A literature review was conducted, analyzing studies on home BP monitoring across pediatric, pregnancy, and CKD populations. Data on oscillometric devices and validation studies were included. Results: Home BP monitoring is increasingly used in pediatric hypertension, with an 80–85% agreement with ambulatory monitoring. In pregnancy, home monitoring aids in detecting preeclampsia and helps maintain optimal BP levels. For CKD, home BP readings are superior to clinical measurements, accurately predicting disease progression and cardiovascular risk. Conclusion: Home BP monitoring proves valuable in managing hypertension across vulnerable populations, offering convenience, reliability, and better diagnostic precision. Further research is needed to refine device accuracy and integrate home monitoring into routine care for children, pregnant women, and CKD patients.

Authors: Enríquez Josselin
Published: October 2024

El método madre canguro es un sistema estandarizado de cuidados neonatales que consiste en el contacto piel a piel de la madre y el recién nacido pretérmino, acción que otorga múltiples beneficios fisiológicos y psicológicos. Objetivo: evaluar el nivel de conocimiento y aplicación del método por parte del personal de enfermería en el servicio de neonatología del Hospital San Vicente de Paúl en la ciudad de Ibarra. Metodología: estudio cuantitativo no experimental de tipo transversal descriptivo; como herramienta de recolección de información se desarrolló un cuestionario que consta de quince preguntas para evaluar el nivel de conocimiento y una lista de verificación que consta de diez accionares indispensables en la aplicación del método, dichos instrumentos fueron avalados por un grupo de expertos previo a su aplicación a los quince profesionales del servicio. Resultados: se obtuvo que el nivel de conocimiento del personal es medio con un porcentaje del 66,6%. Sin embargo, el nivel de aplicación del método es apenas del 32,6% evidenciando que una de las limitantes principales de la aplicación es la demanda de pacientes en el servicio, y por ende, la carga laboral que enfrenta el personal de enfermería. Conclusión: el déficit de aplicación del método no se debe al desconocimiento del personal, sino a factores externos a la función asistencial de la enfermera.

Published: October 2024

Estudio sobre el diagnóstico de trastornos de comportamiento en niños de ocho a once años utilizando modelos de regresión lineal y redes neuronales artificiales. El estudio se llevó a cabo en una muestra de 176 niños de una unidad educativa en la provincia de Cotopaxi, Ecuador, utilizando el instrumento del proyecto ESPERI para recopilar datos. El estudio se centró en cuatro factores principales: inatención/impulsividad/hiperactividad, oposicional-desafiante, predisocial y disocial. Los datos fueron preprocesados, limpiados y normalizados utilizando Microsoft Excel, y se realizaron análisis descriptivos y pruebas estadísticas para determinar la significancia de las relaciones entre las variables independientes y la variable dependiente. Se seleccionaron cuatro variables para el modelo de regresión lineal: inatención/impulsividad/hiperactividad, factor disocial, factor predisocial y factor oposicional-desafiante. El modelo fue creado utilizando Python y Google Colaboratory, y se utilizaron diferentes métricas para evaluar su rendimiento. El modelo fue validado utilizando un conjunto de datos independiente y los resultados se interpretaron para determinar las variables que tienen la mayor influencia en el diagnóstico de trastornos de comportamiento. Los resultados del estudio mostraron que la prevalencia de trastornos de comportamiento en niños era del 4,8% al 7,4% en niños y del 2,1% al 3,2% en niñas. El modelo de regresión lineal tuvo un buen ajuste a los datos y fue capaz de explicar la variabilidad en la variable dependiente con un bajo error de predicción en el conjunto de prueba. En el artículo también se proporciona el código completo del modelo para ser probado en un entorno de producción.

Se evidencia la necesidad de implementar políticas y estrategias efectivas que promuevan una alimentación saludable y equilibrada, así como la concienciación pública sobre los riesgos asociados con el consumo excesivo de estos productos altamente procesados. Además, es importante considerar los factores socioeconómicos y políticos que influyen en los patrones de consumo alimentario, con el fin de desarrollar intervenciones apropiadas y equilibradas que aborden las disparidades en el acceso a una alimentación nutritiva. Asimismo, se hace hincapié en la necesidad de abordar los determinantes estructurales y políticos que perpetúan la disponibilidad y promoción de alimentos ultraprocesados, incluyendo la regulación de la publicidad de alimentos poco saludables, la promoción de la agricultura sostenible y la creación de entornos alimentarios más saludables.
Anaplasmosis simulando enfermedad linfoproliferativa: A propósito de un caso
Authors: Hevia Jetzabe , Casique Arianna
Published: October 2024

Ehrlichiosis y Anaplasmosis, son infecciones bacterianas transmitidas por garrapatas, actualmente consideradas como problema emergente. Entre especies, Anaplasma phagocytophilum es la responsable de la infección humana. Se trata de paciente masculino de 55 años, que ingresa por fiebre y debilidad. Refiere hiperplasia prostática grado III, tratada desde hace 2 años, requiriendo uso de sonda vesical, a la espera de prostatectomía. Habita en vivienda rural, con antecedente epidemiológico de ocupación como entrenador de perros. A la exploración presentaba temperatura de 39°C, adenopatías de gran tamaño en cuello, axilas, epitrocleares e inguinales, petequias generalizadas y esplenomegalia dura grado III (Boyd). En la analítica destaca leucocitos 2.100/mm3, Hemoglobina 4,5 g/dL, plaquetas 75.000/mm3, proteína C reactiva 5,66 mg/L. El urocultivo reporta Escherichia coli y Cándida sp. En su primera estadía hospitalaria recibe diagnóstico presuntivo de síndrome linfoproliferativo e infección urinaria, tratada con antibioticoterapia. Sin mejoría de los síntomas egresa contra opinión médica. Posteriormente acude a centro privado por exacerbación del cuadro clínico. El diagnóstico se basó en los antecedentes epidemiológicos, manifestaciones clínicas y confirmación de infección activa mediante determinación de anticuerpos IgM positivas. La biopsia ganglionar reporta hiperplasia ganglionar reactiva. Excelente respuesta al tratamiento con Doxiciclina, resolución de síntomas generales, desaparición de adenoesplenomegalia y compromiso hematológico. La literatura reporta que este tipo de bacterias tiene especial afinidad por las células sanguíneas y son responsables de las citopenias observadas, provocando grados importantes de inmunodepresión, hecho que facilita la aparición de infecciones oportunistas que, aunado al uso de sonda vesical, fue el caso de la infección urinaria.

Published: October 2024

With the appearance of high mortalities in traditional cultivation of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaus vannamei), the objective was to evaluate the health in semi-intensive nurseries in Mossoró/RN. A random sample of 200 shrimp was collected for presumptive clinical and histopathological examination of the hepatopancreas. Histologically, the hepatopancreatic fragments were evaluated for the presence of intracytoplasmic bacteria, and scores (1-4) were assigned according to the degree of severity of the lesions (DS). Morbidity percentages of 89.5% of shrimp infected with the bacterium Hepatobacter penaei were recorded. Hemolymph clotting time did not prove to be a good parameter to diagnose individuals with necrotizing hepatopancreatitis. The affected individuals presented melanized lesions; 45.5% presented focal to diffuse necrosis in the abdominal segments, and the pleopods presented an expansion of chromatophores only in the most evolved cases of the infection, with 73% presenting uropods with expanded chromatophores. In the hepatopancreas, it was found that 57.5% had tubules with a significant reduction in lipid levels, 66.5% had DS 3 indicating the transition phase of the disease, and 23% had DS 4 considering the chronic phase. Absence of cytoplasm was observed in B cells with chromatin condensation. It is concluded that abiotic factors such as salinity and high temperatures favored the virulence of the pathogen in marine shrimp ponds, triggering a high mortality rate.

The objective of this report was to investigate the effects of grooming on thermal comfort in Lhasa Apso and Shih Tzu dogs exposed to different ambient temperatures. A randomized block design in a 3 x 2 factorial scheme was used, with 3 different temperatures associated with whether the animal was groomed or not. Six adult dogs, consisting of two Lhasa Apsos and four Shih Tzus, were used. The dogs were exposed to temperatures of 17°C, 25°C, and 33°C both before and after grooming. Physiological parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, rectal temperature, ambient temperature, ITU, and body surface temperature) were measured using infrared thermography with a portable IRT camera. The images were analyzed using FLIR Tools™ software with an emissivity of 0.97. Variance analysis was performed to evaluate the isolated effects and interactions between the factors of coat coverage and ambient temperature at the 5% significance level. No interaction was found between the treatments, nor were there isolated effects of the factors on the physiological parameters evaluated. A temperature of 33°C was associated with a higher rectal temperature (p<0.05) in the animals. Ungroomed dogs exposed to temperatures of 25°C and 33°C had ITU values above the thermal comfort limit. In terms of body temperature, there was a significant interaction effect between coat coverage and the environment under different climatic conditions (p<0.05). The surveyed grooming dogs exhibited greater body temperatures at all temperatures tested, namely, 17°C, 25°C, and 33°C. Grooming did not reduce the effects of thermal stress caused by different climatic conditions, indicating that grooming is not advisable for these animals

Abstract: This study evaluated the cardiorespiratory parameters, analgesia, sedation depth and duration, and recovery quality in guinea pigs undergoing elective castration, using dexmedetomidine or xylazine combined with esketamine hydrochloride and morphine. In a crossover study, guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) (n=8), 9 months and 650 g (p = 0,3831) received xylazine (1 mg/kg), esketamine (10 mg/kg), and morphine (0,5 mg/kg) (GXIL), or dexmedetomidine (5 mcg/kg), esketamine (10 mg/kg), and morphine (0,5 mg/kg) (GDEX) intramuscularly at a two-week interval. Cardiorespiratory parameters, including respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), SpO2, and rectal temperature (RTºC), were recorded at baseline (M0) and every 5 minutes post-administration (M5 to M60). Sedation depth was assessed via ear/toe pinch response, jaw tone, righting reflex, posture, palpebral reflex and reaction to manipulation, based on the criteria established by D'OVÍDIO et al. (2017). Statistical analysis included the Shapiro-Wilk test, unpaired t-test, two-way repeated measures ANOVA, and non-parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U). GXIL induced more profound sedation, with significant differences in ear/toe pinch response and jaw tone compared to GDEX. HR and RR significantly decreased in the GXIL group, with an average reduction of 13,6% in HR and 32,6% in RR. GDEX demonstrated less sedation depth and a milder decrease in RR. Both protocols were effective and safe for chemical restraint in guinea pigs, though GXIL provided deeper sedation and greater cardiorespiratory depression than GDEX. However, GDEX maintained a more stable cardiorespiratory profile, suggesting it. Nonetheless, both treatments provided minimal cardiorespiratory alterations, demonstrating their safety for use.
Exploratory evaluation of the pilot programme of Round Midnight Virtual Decisions: KNIVES Workshops, a VR-Based Violence Prevention Programme
Authors: Badger Sophie , Wilkinson Dean , Chopra Isha
Published: October 2024

Round Midnight is a creative arts company that specialises in the use of drama and technology in education. They piloted a series of Virtual Reality (VR) based workshops for children and young people across Birmingham, focusing on issues within communities such as knife crime and gang violence. An exploratory evaluation of the initial impact of the workshops was carried out in two Year Five and Year Six classes in a primary school in Birmingham. Quantitative and Qualitative pre- and post-survey data from children, and a teacher focus group, were used to assess the influence of the programme on the following: (1) Understanding knife crime, the misconceptions and why people may carry knives; (2) Understanding the dangers, consequences and implications of carrying knives; (3) Recognising loyal and trustworthy friendships; (4) Recognising how to resolve conflict safely.

Survey data suggested a decrease in children’s self-reported likelihood of carrying a knife after they had participated in the workshops. The data suggested children had more in-depth knowledge of knife crime, including the misconceptions, consequences and impacts of carrying a knife after participating in the workshops. Children also showed an understanding of safe conflict resolution after the workshops. Overall, the data suggests that the pilot of the Round Midnight Virtual Decisions: KNIVES curriculum had a positive impact on children’s knowledge, understanding and attitudes toward knife crime. Practical applications are discussed.

Authors: Chopra Isha , Wilkinson Dean , Puttick Mary-Rose , Badger Sophie
Published: October 2024

This paper presents an evaluation of Trauma-Informed (TI) training for police officers in the West Midlands Police from November 2022 to February 2023. The West Midlands Violence Reduction Partnership has commissioned and delivered bespoke TI training since 2020, which aimed to deepen the understanding of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and trauma within the Police and, in turn, to create meaningful changes in everyday policing practice. Pre- and post-training surveys were conducted with 230 frontline officers and new recruits, as well as semi-structured interviews with 14 police officers and sergeants. Statistically significant improvements were found across all seven factors measured by the Trauma Aware Policing Attitudinal Survey (TAPAS). These findings indicate the efficacy of the training in improving police officers’ knowledge, responses, behaviours, self-efficacy, reactions to work, and personal and system-wide support for trauma-informed care. The qualitative results indicate a positive influence of the TI training on police practice overall. However, the quantitative data have limitations in drawing conclusions regarding long-term knowledge retention and the integration of trauma-informed practices, as well as the lack of robustness of the TAPAS tool. This highlights the necessity for further efforts to assess TI attitudes and providing TI training to police officers and senior management, promoting ongoing professional development and the wider implementation of trauma-informed approaches.
Convective heat transfer analysis of circular tube-annular tube systems with nanofluids: a comparative study
Authors: Chehhat Abdelmadjid , Rebai Billel
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the convective heat transfer performance of various fluid combinations within a circular tube-annular tube system, with a particular emphasis on the influence of nanofluids. The analysis evaluates four distinct fluid combinations: base fluid-base fluid (BW), base fluid-nanofluid (HN), nanofluid-base fluid (CN), and nanofluid-nanofluid (BN). Convective heat transfer coefficients were systematically measured across a range of mass flow rates, and the effects of varying nanoparticle concentrations (ϕ) on heat transfer efficiency were meticulously analyzed. The results indicate a general trend of increasing convective heat transfer coefficients with rising mass flow rates for most fluid combinations, particularly for BW, CN, and BN. Notably, however, a significant decrease in heat transfer efficiency is observed at higher mass flow rates in the HN combination, suggesting a potential saturation effect that may limit the effectiveness of this fluid pairing. This comparative analysis not only highlights the intricate interactions between different fluid types but also provides valuable insights into the potential of nanofluids to enhance thermal efficiency in heat exchanger applications, paving the way for future research and practical implementations in thermal management systems.

Considerando que a compressão medular é uma condição clínica grave, capaz de causar incapacidades neurológicas significativas e afetar drasticamente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes, este estudo objetiva analisar os impactos da laminectomia no tratamento dessa patologia, com foco na eficácia do procedimento e nas complicações associadas. Para tanto, procede-se a uma revisão integrativa da literatura, que abrange estudos recentes sobre a laminectomia e explora tanto seus benefícios quanto seus riscos em diferentes cenários clínicos. Desse modo, observa-se que a laminectomia tem se mostrado eficaz na descompressão medular, proporcionando alívio sintomático em uma ampla gama de pacientes, principalmente aqueles com estenose espinhal ou hérnia de disco. No entanto, a técnica apresenta complicações potenciais, como infecções, instabilidade vertebral e a necessidade de fusão espinhal, especialmente em pacientes idosos ou com condições pré-existentes. O manejo pós-operatório, incluindo reabilitação fisioterápica, é essencial para otimizar os resultados e prevenir complicações tardias. O estudo permite concluir que, embora a laminectomia seja uma opção segura e eficaz para o tratamento da compressão medular, a escolha dessa intervenção deve considerar o perfil clínico do paciente e os avanços em técnicas minimamente invasivas, com vistas a reduzir riscos e melhorar a qualidade de vida a longo prazo.

Published: October 2024

A castração de leitões é geralmente realizada sem nenhuma analgesia ou anestesia para alívio da dor, motivo pelo qual essa prática vem ganhando espaço em debates em relação ao bem-estar animal. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o efeito da anestesia e/ou analgesia na resposta dolorosa induzida pela castração cirúrgica em leitões entre 7 a 10 dias de idade através da análise comportamental, cortisol sérico e ganho de peso. Ao total foram utilizados 92 leitões distribuídos aleatoriamente em 4 tratamentos: T1 - Controle (sem medicação), T2 - Lidocaína 2%, T3 - Meloxicam 0,2% e T4 - Lidocaína e Meloxicam. Durante a castração foi avaliado a presença ou ausência de movimentos dos membros anteriores, movimentos dos membros posteriores, emissão de urina ou fezes, tremores, chorar e silêncio. Foi feita a coleta de sangue para análise de cortisol e os animais foram pesados. Como resultados obtidos, não foram observados efeitos significativos dos fármacos utilizados para comportamento, cortisol sérico e ganho de peso. Conclui-se que, apesar de seus efeitos analgésicos conhecidos, tanto a lidocaína como o meloxicam não promoveram uma analgesia eficaz no presente estudo.

Muitos estudantes de ensino superior tendem a mudar seu comportamento em relação à alimentação e exercícios físicos, substituindo muitas vezes a alimentação saudável por fast food, incluindo ainda maus hábitos, como o consumo excessivo de bebidas alcoólicas e o uso do tabaco. Sendo assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo principal investigar os níveis de pressão arterial na comunidade acadêmica, bem como os fatores associados ao aumento ou diminuição da pressão arterial. A pesquisa apoia-se metodologicamente na abordagem quali-quantitativa, no qual foi realizada uma avaliação com membros da empresa Reconflor Júnior vinculada ao curso de engenharia Florestal da Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia. Para avaliar os fatores predisponentes a hipertensão, foi realizada uma pesquisa por meio do Google Forms visando conhecer os hábitos dos participantes. Após isso foi realizada uma ação com 13 membros da empresa onde foi exposto em uma palestra conceitos básicos da pressão arterial, fatores de risco, fatores predisponentes e os sintomas das patologias associadas a mesma, após isso, foi verificada a pressão arterial dos discentes presentes. Os resultados se mostraram favoráveis, visto que não houve constatações de níveis extremamente elevados. Os achados do presente estudo demostraram que não houve prevalência de hipertensão arterial nos estudantes entrevistados, visto que metade dos discentes apresentaram níveis pressóricos normais, e os níveis elevados foram inferiores à 150x90 mmHg, não sendo um resultado alarmante.

Published: October 2024

Introdução: o tema Violência Obstétrica detém grande relevância na contemporaneidade devido questões culturais e éticas substancialmente, entretanto, se faz necessária uma maior compreensão no tocante ao seu significado e precisa utilização do termo. Objetivo: realizar uma investigação acerca do tema, explorando suas divergências e consequências ao profissional médico, parturiente e recém-nascido, bem como estratégias presentes no Brasil. Método: trata-se de um estudo em caráter de revisão integrativa da literatura, no qual será realizado pelo levantamento de dados em inglês e português por meio das bases de dados PubMed, Scielo, Google acadêmico e Lilacs publicados entre os anos de 2018 a 2023. Em seguida foram analisados os dados obtidos para a escrita dos resultados, discussão e considerações finais. Resultados: foram selecionados 20 artigos, dos quais emergiram quatro categorias a partir de sua análise sendo elas introdução e contextualização da violência obstétrica,  visões e percepções de profissionais e gestores da saúde em contraste aos relatos de mães e gestantes, possíveis desfechos decorrentes da violência sofrida e meios intervencionistas de combate a VO presentes no Brasil, comparado a estratégias já utilizadas em outros países. Conclusão: o desprovimento de acordo em uma definição única é embasado na complexidade e nas muitas facetas envolvidas na temática; entretanto, é esperado que haja avanço na preparação dos profissionais e desenvolvimento de novas políticas em saúde visando evitar a violência e suas complicações materno-fetais.

Diante do distanciamento social causado pela COVID- 19, além do isolamento, falta de interação e a ameaça da doença ou a perda de entes queridos, essas condições desenvolveram sérios problemas psicológicos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar o impacto da pandemia na saúde mental de crianças em idade escolar; a pesquisa se norteou pelo método de revisão narrativa da literatura, baseando-se em fontes dos bancos de dados do Google Scholar, Scielo e Pubmed. A busca resultou na escolha de trinta e quatro artigos publicados em periódicos científicos, quatro documentos governamentais, quatro livros encontrados que mostraram a relevância de se aprofundar a respeito dos impactos causados pela pandemia da covid-19 na saúde mental de crianças. A COVID-19 gerou diversos efeitos negativos para a saúde mental das crianças, influenciando o sentimento de insegurança, tédio, frustração, nervosismo, agressividade, solidão, violência e medo da morte. Estados emocionais e comportamentos como esses provocaram um aumento nos transtornos mentais, incluindo estresse, ansiedade e depressão. Além disso, causou prejuízos significativos no desenvolvimento, como déficits de habilidades sociais e atrasos na fala. Esses impactos enfatizam que, quando uma criança em fase de desenvolvimento é exposta a situações intensas nas quais ela não compreende o que está acontecendo ao seu redor, isso acaba gerando sofrimento psíquico e transtornos emocionais. Foi perceptível que as crianças foram fortemente atingidas em sua saúde mental pelos efeitos duradouros em suas vidas. Portanto, há uma necessidade dos cuidadores e da saúde pública refletirem em intervenções que auxilie na redução dos efeitos ocasionados na saúde mental das crianças.
