Authors: Zaman Afridi Muhammad , Akhtar Parveen , Naeem Khan Muhammad
Published: March 2022

Workload and stress of healthcare workers has increased manifolds as result of COVID-19. Healthcare workers in developing countries like Pakistan face lack of resources and psychological support in addition to changes in work routines, fear, isolation and separation from families. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence of depressive symptoms among healthcare workers in Pakistan during COVID-19 pandemic. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched on January 2nd 2022. We included cross-sectional studies published during COVID outbreak in Pakistan (from January 2020 to December 2021). We extracted data on study characteristics and depression prevalence. Random effects models was used to conduct Meta-analysis. In total, 10 studies involving 12507 participants were included. The pooled prevalence of depression was 25.5% (95% CI, 19.5% to 32.5%), with significant between-study heterogeneity (I2= 95.83%, Q=216.15, p < 0.001). This calls for urgent actions and interventions to support mental health care of healthcare workers in Pakistan. Keywords: Depression, Healthcare Workers, Prevalence, Pakistan, COVID-19
Gauging the Institution’s Potential Towards an Entrepreneurial University: The Case of a Philippine State University
Authors: Biray Ersyl T.
Published: March 2022

The potential of a state university for entrepreneurial university transformation is determined in this study by using the mixed method, specifically the concurrent triangulation design. Strengths, weaknesses, challenges and issues are highlighted based on the guiding framework for entrepreneurial universities by the European Commission – Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (EC-OECD). Middle level managers of the institution served as participants providing data through survey instrument and interviews. Results revealed that generally the university is Going Entrepreneurial, particularly in leadership and governance; organizational capacity, people and incentives; entrepreneurship development in teaching and learning; and pathways for entrepreneurs. It is Almost Entrepreneurial in its business/external relationships for knowledge exchange, and as an internationalized institution; and only in measuring the impact of entrepreneurial university that it is described as Initially Going Entrepreneurial. Challenges and issues identified that may affect the internal system consist political leadership openness to support development plans and projects; presence of internationally-popular eco-tourism, farm tourism, cultural and heritage tourism potentials; booming business atmosphere in the province and the region; availability of local and international scholarships and fellowships for staff and students; presence of commercial banks offering loan credits; and presence of private colleges and learning centers. Recommendations for internal policy consideration include the revisit and inclusion in the strategic plan of an entrepreneurial agenda; appropriation of budget to support the entrepreneurial projects or start-ups by the faculty, staff and students; and exploration of functional engagements and linkages with external (local and international) stakeholders and willing business partners, experts and entities who could help put up or invest on incubators, science parks and the like.
Recreating Financial Literacy of Private Secondary School Teachers
Authors: Pinawin Victorino P.
Published: March 2022

The study examined the personal financial activities of private secondary school teachers in selected municipalities of the 4th congressional district of Quezon in the Philippines. A descriptive quantitative research design, cluster sampling, and a researcher-made survey questionnaire collected online were all used in the study. Data focused on the financial knowledge, financial behavior, and financial attitude of the respondents. It employed both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The theories of human capital, self-efficacy, goal-setting, and the financial literacy modelled this study. The majority of respondents are female-married, young professionals teaching either English or Social Sciences holding a permanent position as Teacher I with less than five years of service. An increase in saving found an association in the field of specialization. A weak positive association exists between basic good financial practices and the building of financial safety nets. Data from a survey showed that significant number of respondents are vulnerable to financial distress. Moderation of financial practices and literacy is an indication of poor financial management. Data attest the need to take steps and intervene through financial training and education to recreate the existing method of treating resources.

Authors: Arbo Jerlyn B. , Ching Delon A.
Published: March 2022

Many students perceive mathematics as an abstract because it involves development of problem-solving skills. This study employed problem-based learning (PBL) approach to make simple strategies in the teaching and learning process. This study used descriptive-correlational research method. For the school year 2020-2021, 40 Grade 9 students from Calamba City Science High School took the validated adapted-modified three-item examination and answered a researcher-made survey questionnaire. The results showed no significant relationship between respondents’ perceptions of problem-based learning in terms of authentic problem, collaboration, developing expertise, and authentic assessment, and their problem-solving performance in terms of conceptualizing the problem, devising a strategy, implementing the strategy, and reflecting on the solution. The study affirms that the teacher’s expertise in implementing the PBL approach is critical. Further results imply that the learning abilities and techniques of the students have significant impact to the teaching-learning process.

Authors: Zaracena Krista Kamil R. , Ciabal Livien U.
Published: March 2022

COVID-19 pandemic has brought the nation’s capital healthcare system into its critical mass, leaving the front-liners at significant risk while sacrificing their lives to fight against the COVID-19. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the front-liners’ profile, health risk, life satisfaction, and death anxiety. This study utilized a quantitative, descriptive-correlational design and a purposive sampling technique that involved 100 front-line healthcare workers from Tayabas, Quezon. Instruments were researcher-made questionnaires, validated by experts, and underwent pilot testing. These include the personal information sheet, health risk questionnaire, physical and mental health risk, and the death anxiety questionnaire. To find the relationship between variables, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used. Results indicated that relationship between death anxiety and the respondents’ profile was not significant except for the years of employment, which has a significant inverse relationship. Meanwhile, both the physical health risk and death anxiety and mental health risk and death anxiety have significant relationships. However, life satisfaction and death anxiety has a significant inverse relationship. This study suggests providing intervention to prevent death anxiety by improving the front-liners’ physical, mental health, and life satisfaction.

Published: March 2022

Considerable evidence that drug bioavailability is influenced by food, in conjunction with the poor and erratic bioavailability of sparingly soluble drugs, serve as a stimulus in the research field for examining new formulations that may provide more consistent absorption. The in vitro and in vivo availability of freeze dried and spray dried drug-milk products were studied under “high-fat meal” conditions. In vitro drug release profile showed that though the freeze-dried product released the maximum drug, release was sporadic. Spray dried product increased the drug release but lesser than freeze dried products. The spray dried product also showed consistent release of drug. The interaction of theophylline with milk fat influenced all pharmacokinetic parameters such as, the action of theophylline being observed to be sustained for a longer period. Spray dried product also increased the rate and extent of absorption. The main feature of this system is that the drug-milk product is regenerated by adding water to the freezedried and spray dried drug-milk formulation just prior to administration. Thus, a drug-milk product with most of the drug in solution is effectively ingested. One important factor which has shown effect on drug bioavailability is the potential influence of regenerated fluid volume on drug absorption.

Despite the long history of traditionally used and clinically potential plant Anacyclus pyrethrum (Akarkara; family – Asteraceae) root parts, the plant has never been investigated systematically for the scientific phytochemical and biological studies till date. Thus, present investigation was envisaged to perform experiments to study phytochemical and biological activities. The various extracts and fractions were subjected to phytochemical screening. The complete profile of pharmacognostic standards of plant was established as per standardized procedures. The results revealed that the plant contain alkaloids, anthraquinone glycosides, carbohydrates, tannins and flavonoids. The thin layer chromatography of petroleum ether-, chloroform and methanol extracts showed presence of three-, seven- and five spots. Quantitatively maximum phenolic content was found in ethyl acetate fraction (6.48 % w/w) followed by methanol extract (2.40 % w/w). Various extracts and fractions of plant were screened for antioxidant activity by DPPH method, and the results revealed that maximum activity was shown by ethyl acetate fractions as compared to other test samples. In antimicrobial studies, the zone of inhibition in mm was determined by cup plate method. Amongst various test samples, only the ethyl acetate fraction showed maximum antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 7443, Staphylococcus epidermides MTCC 1133, Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 2449 and Escherichia coli MTCC 1235 followed by methanol extract whereas other test samples were devoid of antibacterial activity. In antifungal study, ethyl acetate fraction exhibited maximum antibacterial and antifungal activity against Candida albicans MTCC 1637 and Aspergillus niger MTCC 1235, followed by methanol extract, whereas other test samples were devoid of antifungal activity. The research findings of the present investigations suggest that phenolic compounds might be responsible for the biological profile of plant. Further, it can be concluded that a complete monograph of plant has been established. These findings are very important for natural product scientists before performing any research work on plant.

Tuberculosis remains a major threat to mankind, becoming more deadly due to COVID-19 pandemic. The worldwide scenario is daunted by additional factors such as drug resistance, non-adherence and complexity of the treatment. To overcome these obstacles, there is a constant need for novel drug development. However, drug development is an extensive process in itself requiring enormous financial investment and is time-consuming with a low success rate. A viable alternative to circumvent these complications is to explore ‘privileged scaffold/s’. Further logical approaches would be to study the privileged scaffold/s which materialize in the clinical pipeline of the disease. The present review summarizes clinically important privileged scaffolds explored in tuberculosis, namely, aryl quinolines, nitroheterocycles and oxazolidinones. Various developmental aspects have been reviewed along with the structural, pharmacological and physicochemical investigations as may be relevant. The understandings gained would thereby help in envisaging suitable structural modifications of these scaffolds for development of promising leads.
NEED FOR PARTICIPATION BY RESEARCHERS ON RELATED REGULATORY POLICY MAKING AND ADVOCACY
Authors:   Editor  Indian Drugs
Published: March 2022

Dear Reader, Many bills and proposals are being mooted and moved by the present Government in response to public representations and also to resolve internal constraints and for operational reasons. Regulatory aspects are closely linked to research and innovation. However, the Indian research community appears either not aware of the need or geared up to participate in policy making or amendments to statutes closely linked to researchers, even when some of them act as impediments in progress of research or act as hurdles in their chosen field of investigative or innovative research. Research institutes, public funded laboratories, Universities and even researchbased academic conglomerates need to assign or designate an internal or external person or agency to familiarise them, and help generate views, comments and suggestions to make the path of Indian research smooth and friendly to creative contributions. We need to present or represent our concerns or views when the window is open on policy matters.
A Case of Senator Lynn Beyak and Anti-Indigenous Systemic Racism in Canada
Authors: Howell Lisa , Ng-A-Fook Nicholas
Published: March 2022

On March 7, 2017, Canadian Senator Lynn Beyak stood up in the Red Chamber and delivered a lengthy speech urging Canadians to recognise the positive aspects of the Indian Residential Schooling system that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission had failed to acknowledge. In their positions as settler teacher educators, the authors examine how Senator Beyak’s statements expose the depth of systemic settler colonialism, anti-Indigenous racisms, and unsettling beneficiary narratives here in Canada. The authors call on teacher educators to examine these systemic anti-Indigenous racisms in relation to how they can confront and disrupt settler Canadian colonialism and historical settler consciousness within teacher education and school curricula. Drawing on recent research done by educational researchers at Faculties of Education across Canada, the authors maintain that settler colonial benevolence and colonial systemic anti-Indigenous racisms can be unlearned and learned through ethical relationality, truth, and a critical praxis of reconciliation.

Published: March 2022

Comprehensive school health (CSH) is a framework that can support teachers in the delivery of health-related content as well as supporting health promotion within the school community. In this study, 222 Bachelor of Education students completed surveys at the beginning and end of a mandatory six-week course on CSH with a body weight-neutral focus. Following the course, participants had significantly positively increased attitudes toward CSH, self-efficacy to teach using CSH, and weight-related attitudes. These results support CSH as a useful framework for teachers in their future practice to improve the wellness of students, teachers, and the broader school community.

L’enjeu de cet article est d’analyser, comme cela a déjà été réalisé avec des adultes dans leur domaine professionnel, la façon dont les jeunes à l’école perçoivent leur environnement de travail. L’objectif principal vise à étudier l’opérationnalisation du modèle théorique « exigences professionnelles-ressources » (Job Demands-Resources [JD-R]) de Demerouti et al. (2001) en contexte scolaire. L’objectif secondaire est de valider une échelle adaptée au contexte scolaire qui permette à la fois de déterminer le niveau d’exigences et le niveau de ressources perçus par les élèves au sein de l’école. Dans une première étude, une échelle a été adaptée, puis remplie par 414 collégiens et lycéens. Les résultats des analyses factorielles exploratoires, puis confirmatoires, indiquent une structure en deux dimensions (exigences/ressources) à trois facteurs chacun (physique, motivationnelle et cognitive) conformément à la version d’origine. Les propriétés psychométriques de l’échelle s’avèrent satisfaisantes. À l’aide d’analyses en pistes causales, la seconde étude réalisée avec 56 élèves a permis de mettre en avant la relation entre le modèle JD-R transposé à l’école et l’épuisement (burnout) scolaire. Les données recueillies à trois moments révèlent que les exigences et les ressources au T1 prédisent celles au T2, comme il était présumé. Toutefois, seules les ressources au T2 prédisent le burnout au T3. En définitive, l’analyse des processus révèle les effets du niveau de ressources perçu par les élèves au T1 sur le burnout scolaire au T3, et un effet des exigences qui n’est pas significatif. Pour conclure, le modèle a été partiellement validé mettant en avant des relations entre l’évolution des exigences, des ressources et leurs effets sur le burnout.

Published: March 2022

Technologies of renewable energy (RE) play a vital role in increasing economic growth in many countries and present a solution for many social, ecological, and political problems. Though, RE faces many barriers that prevent its development. So, these barriers are ranked and identified in this work, including five main barriers and fifteen sub barriers. In addition, five strategies are identified and ranked. The first step in this work, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach used to rank main and sub barriers under Single Valued Neutrosophic Sets (SVNSs). Then Neutrosophic Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach assessed the five strategies. The outcomes of this work show that Commercial barriers ranked as the highest barriers and social-ecological ranked as the lowest barriers by using the AHP approach. Outcomes by neutrosophic TOPSIS show that capital assistant ranked as the highest strategies and RE goals ranked as the lowest strategies. This work can help decision-makers, governments for building a RE by using these strategies to overcome barriers that faced them.

These days’ user interests have become more critical for companies and firms to introduce their content due to the growth in networks and the internet. So this method used neutrosophic sets for network user interest. In this paper, we proposed five main criteria and seventeen sub-criteria to show user interest in the network. The multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method is used to deal with various criteria and sub-criteria. So the Analytical Hierarchal Process (AHP) is used to show weights of criteria and sub-criteria to present the user interest in the network. An illustrative example provides to show calculations of the proposed method.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether inflationary noninvasive blood-pressure measurement reduces pain during blood-pressure monitoring with the lower limbs compared to the conventional noninvasive measurement method.Methods: Healthy volunteers aged ≥ 18 years were recruited for the study. After seating the participants, a manchette was fitted onto each limb (upper limbs: YP-713T YAWARA CUFF2 13 cm; lower limbs: YP-715T YAWARA CUFF2 for thigh 19 cm, Nihon Kohden Tokyo, Japan). The inflationary and conventional noninvasive blood-pressure measurement devices (PVM-9901 and PVM-9901, Nihon Kohden, Tokyo, Japan) were connected, and the blood pressure was measured simultaneously at two points in the upper and lower limbs. After the measurement, the participants answered a questionnaire regarding the lower-limb pain, and the intensity of pain was evaluated using the visual analog scale.Results: The study included 111 healthy volunteers. The visual analog scale scores of the upper and lower limbs were significantly lower with the inflationary noninvasive blood pressure measurement device than with the conventional noninvasive blood pressure device (upper limbs: 25.6 ± 23.2 vs. 38.8 ± 27.5, p < .001 and lower limbs: 42.2 ± 25.1 vs. 54.2 ± 26.1, p < .01, respectively).Conclusions: We examined the effect of pain reduction on the lower limbs with inflationary noninvasive blood-pressure measurements in healthy volunteers. We conclude that inflationary noninvasive blood pressure measurement may reduce pain in the lower limbs during blood-pressure monitoring compared to a conventional noninvasive blood pressure measurement.
On the Hardy number of comb domains
Authors: Karafyllia Christina
Published: March 2022

Let \({H^p}\left( \mathbb{D} \right)\) be the Hardy space of all holomorphic functions on the unit disk \(\mathbb{D}\) with exponent \(p>0\). If \(D\ne \mathbb{C}\) is a simply connected domain and \(f\) is the Riemann mapping from \(\mathbb{D}\) onto \(D\), then the Hardy number of \(D\), introduced by Hansen, is the supremum of all \(p\) for which \(f \in {H^p}\left( \mathbb{D} \right)\). Comb domains are a well-studied class of simply connected domains that, in general, have the form of the entire plane minus an infinite number of vertical rays. In this paper we study the Hardy number of a class of comb domains with the aid of the quasi-hyperbolic distance and we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the Hardy number of these domains to be equal to infinity. Applying this condition, we derive several results that show how the mutual distances and the distribution of the rays affect the finiteness of the Hardy number. By a result of Burkholder our condition is also necessary and sufficient for all moments of the exit time of Brownian motion from comb domains to be infinite.
Оценка содержания соли в томатной пасте

Published: March 2022

The salt content was determined in 14 samples of imported and locally produced tomato paste. It was found that the salt concentration in various types of paste is in the range of 0,4 to 1,5 g/100 g, and the average is 0,86 g/100 g or 0,86%. The latter slightly exceeds the standard of 0.7% set by GOST 3343-2017 (use of salt in the production of concentrated tomato products is not allowed). But, since the average daily per capita consumption of tomato paste is only 2,5 grams, this product does not make a significant contribution (0,22%) to the total amount of salt consumed by population. Obviously, there is no need to offer any salt reduction measure for tomato paste: it would be enough to follow the requirements of GOST, in order to avoid a very small, but still excessive portion of salt, entering the body through this industrially processed food.

Regardless of the presence of symptoms, all patients with iron deficiency anemia and most patients with iron deficiency without anemia should be treated. Generally the patients who have uncomplicated iron deficiency anemia are treated with oral iron due to the ease of administration. IV iron is often used when treating pregnant women and individuals with inflammatory bowel disease, gastric surgery, or chronic kidney disease, ongoing blood loss, physiologic or anatomic abnormality and intolerable gastrointestinal side effects of oral iron. True allergic reactions are exceedingly rare and vastly overestimated. Routine premedication is not needed prior to IV iron and the use of diphenhydramine should also be avoided.
Legacies of the Komsomol. Afterlife of the Leninist Communist Youth League and Contemporary State-Affiliated Youth Activism in Post-Soviet Russia and Belarus
Authors: Silvan Kristiina
Published: March 2022

Goverment-organized youth mobilization in an authoritarian political setting is subject to active debate in academia and the policy-making community, but knowledge of the mechanisms of "compliant" activism remains limited.The dissertation addresses this empirical and theoretical gap by examining changes and continuities in the sphere of state-affiliated youth activism in post-Soviet Belarus and Russia. It explores the little-known afterlife of the republic-level organizations of the Leninist Communist Youth League of the Soviet Union, the Komsomol, and studies contemporary government-affiliated youth activism.The dissertation is based on a diverse collection of qualitative source material ranging from archival material to interviews and ethnographic analysis. The data is utilized to develop novel analytical concepts pertaining to the complex dynamics of statesanctioned youth mobilization both from the perspective of the decision makers and the young people engaged in "compliant" modes of activism.The dissertation further demonstrates that while legacies of the Komsomol remain operative in some spaces, the Soviet "stamp" on state-youth relations in both Belarus and Russia is becoming increasingly translucent.Kristiina Silvan is a graduate of the Doctoral Program in Political, Societal and Regional Change at the University of Helsinki. This doctoral study was completed in 2022 in the discipline of political history at the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Social Media and its Impact on our Privacy
Authors: Sundus Munir Sundus Munir
Published: March 2022

Social media is one of the advance technologies which is very common now some days. Social media means open source contents for all over the world. It is on the peak and extremely popular from recent years. Millions of users use the social media on daily basis and share their personal information on the media through the internet. That encourages the attackers to attack on someone's personal data by using different methods like Botnet, Phishing scams, Malware attack, Malicious attack etc. Due to this, both the administrator and the users suffer a lot. It happens because the users are not familiar with the security and privacy terms and conditions. They don’t even bother to secure their personal data before sharing it on social media. In this research paper we present the consequences, side effects, usages and its impact on our private lives. It also presents how users can secure their data from attackers and the techniques they can adopt to protect their content.

Processo de trabalho e agir profissional no cuidado em saúde bucal no Sistema Único de Saúde
Authors: Da Rocha Evelise Tarouco , Warmling Cristine
Published: March 2022

Introdução: Apesar da formulação de estratégias para a qualificação dos profissionais que atuam no SUS e as mudanças curriculares ocorridas nos cursos de graduação em Odontologia questiona-se efetivas transformações nas práticas das equipes de saúde bucal em direção a um modelo de atenção em saúde pautado na integralidade do cuidado. Objetivos: Este estudo propõe-se a analisar como os processos de trabalho vivenciados pelas equipes de saúde bucal que atuam na rede municipal de saúde de Porto Alegre possibilitam a produção do cuidado em saúde bucal. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de caso com abordagem metodológica qualitativa. Os dados foram produzidos através da realização de quatro grupos focais com quatro equipes de saúde bucal da rede de Atenção Primária do município de Porto Alegre. O estudo também se valeu da observação participante da pesquisadora nos encontros de educação permanente das equipes de saúde bucal, no ano de 2013. Os dados foram analisados com a ajuda do programa de análise qualitativa Nvivo. A base referencial teórica de análise do estudo encontra-se em Schwartz (2007) e nos fundamentos epistemológicos da Análise do Discurso. Resultados: As equipes utilizam diferentes protocolos, renormalizando-os conforme demandas próprias ou de usuários que acessam ao serviço. Referem-se à demanda reprimida, contudo não observam que esta pode estar sendo produzida pelo modo como historicamente se oferta e se processa a produção do cuidado. Relações de trabalho qualificadas devem ser despertadas nos serviços de saúde. O redescobrimento do próprio trabalho pelo trabalhador passa pela compreensão de como ele se insere na atividade dos outros e na vida em sociedade. As equipes não compreendem a problematização dos seus processos de trabalho como um momento de educação permanente e comumente entendem os encontros de educação permanente enquanto espaços apenas normativos. Considerações finais: O estudo ampliou a compreensão sobre o agir profissional para a produção do cuidado em saúde bucal destacando que esse depende da construção de significados a partir do reconhecimento da prática profissional e da realidade das situações de trabalho.

Anúncios trazem inquietudes e abrem portas para conhecimentos subjacentes ao SUS e à humanização proposta como política pública no caso particular da saúde mental (2001) e do trabalho humanizado (2008), particularmente no município de Porto Alegre. Pela metodologia dialógica mediante o registro sistemático de memórias de integrantes do PPGEnSau, compartilhadas em sala de aula, visando dar visibilidade e dizibilidade, e promover: - a apreensão dos processos de trabalho e de formação para o ensino na saúde; - a reflexão acerca dos entendimentos, impasses, queixas, mudanças, possibilidades e impossibilidades, do atendimento no trabalho em saúde mental; e, - o acompanhamento, análise e discussão de narrativa de familiares de um trabalhador da saúde. Problematizando os caminhos propostos, os ajustes necessários e os estranhamentos emergentes frente aos documentos e sites oficiais disponíveis na rede informatizada, emerge a condição de trabalhadores e trabalhadoras a quem cabe ampliar possibilidades, lidar com as diversidades, produzir autonomia, valorizar os sujeitos, enfim, entender o processo de criação, experienciação na condição de racionalização, precarização e terceirização do trabalho. Antonio Gramsci sustenta as reflexões sobre as condições materiais para a consecução e a compreensão dos processos de trabalho humanizado com vistas à produção de novas ferramentas. Tornar as falas/discursos e o texto legal num “quefazer” e em práticas capazes de atender/efetivar ao preconizado, no contexto econômico social e político brasileiro, é o desafio. O atendimento que culpabiliza evidencia desrespeito, crueldade e negligência para com o corpo e a mente de trabalhadores da área da saúde, da saúde mental, pacientes e cidadãos envolvidos. Encerrando o texto e permanecendo em diálogo entre a necessidade e o produtivismo, entre corpo e mente, o individual e o coletivo, o profissional e o trabalho coletivizado, o privado e o público, emergem saberes que compõe a formação do Ensino na Saúde. Recria-se o humano.

Descreve-se a experiência de um projeto de extensão universitária aninhado no trabalho de conclusão de Mestrado Profissional denominado Tópicos sobre o Sistema de Único de Saúde (SUS) para alunos do Ensino Fundamental. Trabalhar com técnicas criativas e promover a utilização da ludicidade em processos pedagógicos com crianças, incluindo uma personagem indutora e promotora do estudo sobre o SUS, o “SUSinho”, pode facilitar o ensino no ambiente escolar (ALMEIDA et al., 2011; OLIVEIRA, 2010). O objetivo foi estimular a aprendizagem sobre o SUS para alunos do Ensino Fundamental, ocorreu de março a julho de 2018 na Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental Gaspar Bartholomay, em Santa Cruz do Sul-RS. As práticas educativas foram organizadas para 133 alunos de 6 turmas do Ensino Fundamental (2 turmas de manhã e tarde do 3º ao 5º ano) com docente único por turma. As aulas foram ministradas por uma mestranda do PPG Ensino na Saúde/UFRGS e docentes da escola uma vez por semana (50 minutos por turma em 18 aulas), totalizando 108 horas/aulas. A intervenção em sala de aula ocorreu com utilização de recursos didáticos ludopedagógicos como jogos, história em quadrinhos, caça-palavras, enigma, vídeos, desenhos e canções. As atividades foram registradas em caderno de campo. As avaliações aconteceram de forma observacional, processual e contínua durante a execução do projeto, além das avaliações individuais (discente/docente) em planilha específica referente aos temas e conteúdos desenvolvidos, a serem considerados como Fácil, Médio ou Difícil. Desenvolveu-se uma personagem denominada “SUSinho”. Solicitou-se a alunos e docentes que escrevessem até três palavras (positivas e negativas - sugeridas e escritas no quadro) sobre o sentimento de interação e/ou afeição com a personagem. Foram avaliados os conhecimentos adquiridos em uma gincana (22 questões) que reuniu conjuntamente as turmas da manhã e as da tarde.

Um dos efeitos adversos da terapia anticâncer é a mucosite oral (MO) que apresenta complicações relevantes na qualidade de vida, como dor e dificuldades nutricionais. A laserterapia de baixa dose (LLLT) é uma das intervenções profiláticas e terapêuticas para a MO. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a efetividade da LLLT no tratamento curativo da MO em pacientes em oncoterapia. Uma revisão sistemática com metanálise foi realizada nas bases de dados Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library de acordo com as diretrizes do PRISMA é usada para identificar ensaios clínicos randomizados, com grupo controle, sobre MO provocada em pacientes durante e/ou após oncoterapia e a abordagem terapêutica se deu com LLLT, cujos comprimentos de onda estavam entre 632 e 970 nm. O protocolo desta revisão sistemática foi registrado no site https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO, a priori. Foram encontrados cinco estudos clínicos randomizados com um total de 315 pacientes, com metodologia adequada. Houve uma redução de 62% no risco de MO nos pacientes que receberam LLLT em comparação com o grupo controle (RR=0.38 [95% IC, 0.19 a 0.75]). Quando analisamos em subgrupos, o RR nos estudos com adultos foi de 0.28 (IC 0.17 a 0.46) e de 0.90 (IC 0.46 a 1.78) nos estudos com crianças e adolescentes. Identificou-se um pequeno número de estudos com a abordagem terapêutica da LLLT na MO, o que pode trazer limitações aos resultados, nossa metanálise demonstrou que a estratégia de tratamento é efetiva em pacientes adultos.

Tendo em vista as especificidades do mestrado profissional (MP), é de suma importância que ocorram avaliações envolvendo alunos, professores, agências e demais atores envolvidos. A avaliação das práticas e processos educativos é fundamental, pois permite formular juízos e tomar decisões fundamentadas. Este escrito tem como objetivo apresentar a avaliação da segunda turma sobre o Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ensino na Saúde – Mestrado Profissional da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), ocorrida no último mês de aula. Os alunos foram convidados a responder a duas questões em uma conversa grupal no aplicativo WhatsApp em que os 20 alunos foram incluídos e puderam ler, trocar impressões e complementar as respostas uns dos outros. A primeira pergunta foi: Quais foram até agora as principais contribuições do mestrado profissional na sua formação? A segunda questão formulada ao grupo foi: O que você espera ainda alcançar, em termos de aprendizados e experiências, até a conclusão do MP? A natureza dessa avaliação foi informal e aberta ao debate livre e construção conjunta. Neste artigo são apresentados os pontos altos e baixos levantados pela turma e sugestões de melhorias, bem como a reflexão da importância dessa formação para suas vidas e trabalho.
Perspectivas para a formação dos profissionais da saúde: educação interprofissional em foco

Published: March 2022

A presença da educação interprofissional (EIP) nos currículos da graduação em saúde reforça as atitudes para o trabalho colaborativo em equipe, por meio de um amplo reconhecimento e respeito às especificidades de cada profissão. Este ensaio discute perspectivas para a formação dos profissionais da saúde, a partir do conceito e princípios da EIP. Está organizado em três momentos. O primeiro traz reflexões teórico-conceituais de educação interprofissional em saúde e a inter-relação com o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), o segundo apresenta dados sobre a saúde da população brasileira e a formação médica no Brasil e o terceiro trata das possibilidades e desafios para o estabelecimento da educação interprofissional nos cursos de graduação em saúde. Os argumentos apresentados reforçam a relevância da inserção dos fundamentos teóricos e experiências de EIP na formação de profissionais da saúde, a partir da graduação e ao longo de sua trajetória profissional. Pesquisas devem ser consideradas no sentido de trazer mais conhecimento sobre como a EIP pode ser efetivamente planejada e implementada, estabelecendo seu papel em melhorar a colaboração interprofissional no trabalho em equipe e aumentar a qualidade do cuidado em saúde.
