A criação do Terceiro Corpo do Exército na província do Rio Grande do Sul: conflitos políticos resultantes da administração militar nos anos críticos da Guerra do Paraguai (1866-1867)
Authors: Izecksohn Vitor , Mugge Miquéias H.
Published: November 2016

Resumo Este artigo analisa a mobilização militar a partir da relação entre o poder central, a presidência provincial e as lideranças regionais no Rio Grande do Sul. Nosso foco é o período entre outubro de 1866 e abril de 1867, quando o comando militar brasileiro, sediado no Paraguai, decidiu organizar o Terceiro Corpo do Exército. Essa arregimentação foi organizada a partir de contingentes recrutados na província sul-rio-grandense. A criação de um novo corpo militar numa província que se ressentia dos esforços continuados pelo recrutamento exigiu negociações delicadas, num movimento que expôs as principais queixas sobre a execução do recrutamento e a intervenção do governo imperial nas questões locais.

ABSTRACT The fertilization with biofertilizer associated with the use of irrigation favors nutrient uptake by plants and soil chemical properties; however, these effects are little studied in Tithonia diversifolia in semiarid regions. This study evaluated the effect of doses of bovine biofertilizer and irrigation on accumulation of nutrients in the leaves of Tithonia diversifolia plants and on soil chemical attributes. The study was carried out from December 3, 2014 to November 28, 2015, and arranged in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme, consisting of five doses of bovine biofertilizer (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 m3 ha-1), combined with and without irrigation. The experiment was set in a randomized block design, using three replicates. Irrigation promoted increased accumulation of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu and B in leaves of Tithonia diversifolia in the first cutting. However, the high bicarbonate concentration in the irrigation water and the occurrence of rainfall during the second crop increased the accumulation of Cu in the leaves of Tithonia diversifolia under rainfed condition, compared with irrigated plants. The increase in biofertilizer doses contributed to the increment of base saturation and the contents of organic matter, P and K in soil.

ABSTRACT The objective was to determine the growth and accumulation of macronutrients of two pineapple cultivars submitted to different concentrations of aluminum (Al). For this, a study was conducted in plastic pots containing 4 L of nutrient solution, in a randomized block design, in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme, corresponding to two pineapple cultivars (‘IAC Fantástico’ and ‘Vitória’) and five Al concentrations (0, 21.6, 43.2, 64.8 and 86.4 mg of Al plant-1), with four replicates. The following variables were evaluated: root length, dry matter of root, stem and leaf, stem diameter, number of leaves, chlorophyll content and accumulation of macronutrients at 60 days after treatment. The cv. ‘Vitória’ showed a linear decrease in chlorophyll content, root dry matter, root length and accumulation of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in most plant components promoted by the increase of Al concentration in the nutrient solution. The cv. ‘IAC Fantástico’ had lower total dry matter, stem dry matter, stem diameter and accumulation of N, Ca and Mg. However, the evaluated characteristics were not influenced by the increase of Al concentration, showing greater tolerance of this cultivar to Al in nutrient solution.

Authors: Pereira Adriana Teixeira , Gallian Dante Marcello Claramonte , Reginato Valdir , De Benedetto Maria A. Craice
Published: November 2016

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo é compreender a percepção dos alunos do segundo ano de Medicina acerca das práticas pedagógicas relacionadas à relação médico-paciente empregadas pela disciplina de Psicologia Médica numa universidade pública em São Paulo nos anos 2013-2015. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, baseada na análise de conteúdo temático-categorial de narrativas obtidas por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Quatro categorias emergiram das narrativas: a percepção dos alunos; as repercussões emocionais; as expectativas dos discentes; e propostas para aprimorar o modelo pedagógico adotado. O role-playing mostrou-se um instrumento de experiência de sensações algumas vezes prazerosas e outras nem tanto, mas que pôde colaborar na preparação dos estudantes para sua futura relação com os pacientes. Os alunos preferiram discutir casos reais e não fictícios, se possível com a participação de médicos formados.
Percepção de Discentes de Medicina sobre o Feedback no Ambiente de Aprendizagem
Authors: Pricinote Sílvia Cristina Marques Nunes , Pereira Edna Regina Silva
Published: November 2016

RESUMO O feedback é descrito na literatura como capaz de influenciar poderosamente o aprendizado, mas, na prática, ocorre raramente e/ou de forma ineficaz. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar como estudantes de cursos de Medicina percebem o feedback educacional e identificam as características positivas e negativas, de docentes e discentes, associadas à realização do feedback. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, por meio de grupos focais com alunos do quarto ano ou oitavo período de três faculdades de Medicina. Os dados foram analisados por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo, criando-se as seguintes categorias: características do feedback recebido, fatores relacionados à ocorrência do feedback, características do docente para dar o feedback e características do discente para receber o feedback. Observou-se que, independentemente da instituição e do modelo curricular, na percepção dos participantes da amostra, a prática do feedback precisa ser melhorada nos ambientes de ensino e aprendizagem. Deve-se estimular tanto os docentes a dar o feedback, quanto os discentes a buscar recebê-lo, para que seja uma prática regular, contínua e com qualidade.

Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate teaching on leprosy at a public medical school located in a metropolis in southeastern Brazil with a low leprosy prevalence rate. Results An analysis performed by means of a comparative cross-sectional study on two parallel groups of students (freshmen and interns) demonstrated that most students began the medical course with some knowledge of the signs and symptoms of the disease. The interns were shown to have more theoretical knowledge and more favorable attitudes toward the disease compared to the freshmen. Most of the interns stated that the topic had been addressed during the course but that practical teaching was insufficient. Students who had had the opportunity for practical experience with patients were more confident in their ability to attend to similar cases. Conclusion Although from a statistical point of view the results may seem very favorable, the same cannot be said when assessing the situation from the perspective of education and public health, since a large number of final-year medical students have not been provided with basic information on the disease.

RESUMO Introdução As companhias farmacêuticas representam a principal fonte de inovações terapêuticas na medicina, daí têm participação importante em eventos de educação médica continuada (EMC). Objetivos Conhecer as concepções de médicos (palestrantes ou ouvintes) acerca do significado dos conflitos de interesses em eventos de EMC e que tipo de relação deveria ser declarado. Metodologia Médicos que atuam numa universidade brasileira responderam a um questionário com perguntas abertas e fechadas. Os dados qualitativos foram analisados de acordo com uma análise de conteúdos, e os quantitativos submetidos a análise estatística apropriada. Resultados Setenta e seis médicos responderam ao questionário; 55,3% consideram o conflito de interesses como uma situação, enquanto 44,7% o consideram um comportamento. Além do financiamento de pesquisa relacionada ao tema da palestra, mais da metade dos participantes apontou outros seis tipos de relacionamento indústria/palestrante cuja declaração é desejável. Cinquenta por cento dos palestrantes e 18% dos ouvintes acreditam estar bem preparados para lidar com as indústrias farmacêuticas. Considerações finais Escolas médicas, Conselho Federal de Medicina e Associação Médica Brasileira deveriam trabalhar para aprimorar a compreensão dos médicos acerca do tema e criar regras claras sobre o que deveria ser declarado.
O Novo Currículo e o Fim da Patologia
Authors: Soares Maria Fernanda Sanches , Athanazio Daniel Abensur
Published: November 2016

RESUMO A gradual adoção de novas diretrizes curriculares afetou dramaticamente a atuação do professor de Patologia no curso médico. O resultado prático das mudanças adotadas foi a redução do espaço do ensino da Patologia na graduação e a perda de espaço do professor médico patologista no curso médico. Como consequência, os novos médicos compreendem menos os mecanismos envolvidos nas doenças, e, pelo menos em algumas regiões do mundo, a perda de visibilidade da Patologia como especialidade médica resultou em falta de patologistas dedicados à carreira acadêmica e à prática diagnóstica. Nesta revisão, discutimos o cenário internacional e comentamos como a nova realidade atingiu, na prática, o ensino da Patologia em duas escolas médicas tradicionais do Brasil.

Authors: Henrichs Joanni Aparecida , Meza Maria Lúcia Figueiredo Gomes de
Published: November 2016

Resumo Diante da complexidade que assumiram as relações sociais e intergovernamentais no cenário contemporâneo, teorias clássicas não se mostram mais aptas para explicar o inter-relacionamento na proporção reclamada. A teoria da governança multinível apresenta uma nova perspectiva para buscar compreender as relações tecidas nos mais diversos níveis (governamentais e não governamentais), sobretudo considerando o prisma endógeno (partindo das porções locais e regionais). O estudo objetiva analisar qual a contribuição da governança multinível para o processo de desenvolvimento regional em territórios fronteiriços com base no estudo do Consórcio Intermunicipal da Fronteira (CIF). Como resultados, verificou-se que a governança multinível contribui para o melhoramento das relações intergovernamentais no contexto federativo brasileiro e funciona como elo entre a intenção e a realização concreta do desenvolvimento regional impulsionado desde a base, possibilitando a inserção democrática no processo. Verificou-se, ainda, que os consórcios públicos intermunicipais são importantes instrumentos de articulação e funcionam como estratégia para o desenvolvimento, não apenas dos municípios envolvidos, mas de todo o entorno regional, pois oportunizam o planejamento, implementação e gestão compartilhada de políticas públicas para resolver problemas de vivência comum, outorgando visibilidade da região perante os demais níveis (estadual, federal e internacional).

RESUMO Este estudo teve por objetivo determinar o estoque de madeira por amostragem sistemática e pelas tecnologias de geoinformação a fim de elaborar mapas de produtividade florestal, como forma de pós-estratificação do inventário florestal. Foram alocadas 24 parcelas de 625 m2 posicionadas a cada 70 m de distância. O mapa de produtividade foi gerado após seleção de um modelo para ajuste do semivariograma entre os volumes das parcelas. Estimou-se um volume total de 3.753,9 m3 com o inventário florestal por amostragem sistemática, enquanto com o mapa de produtividade elaborado com técnicas de silvicultura de precisão determinou-se um volume total de 3.768,9 m3. A análise de variância comprovou que existe diferença significativa entre as médias dos estratos e a partir desta constatação as estimativas foram geradas por estrato, estimando-se então, um volume total de 3.772,9 m3. A técnica de silvicultura de precisão mostrou ser uma ferramenta eficiente na pós-estratificação de inventários florestais.

ABSTRACT Tree establishment in pasture areas can be inhibited, at least in part, by exotic grasses allelopathy and this can represent an important limitation by changing the patterns of both germination and seedling growth of tree species. This study aims to evaluate the allelopathic potential of Urochloa brizantha and U. decumbens on germination, growth and metabolism of Guazuma ulmifolia seedlings. We performed bioassays evaluating the effect of the crude ethanol extract and semipurified fractions (hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction and ethanol-water fraction) of U. brizantha and U. decumbens using completely randomized design, with four concentrations (0, 250, 500, 1,000 mg L-1) and four replications. The variables analyzed were germination percentage, mean germination time, shoot and root growth, catalase and peroxidase activity, chlorophyll content and root respiration. The results showed that both grasses have an inhibitory effect on G. ulmifolia metabolism, affecting both germination and seedlings growth and inducting metabolic defense. Thus, these results show that the grass species evaluated have the potential to restrict the re-introduction of G. ulmifolia in pasture areas due to interference competition.

Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT The capacity of a weed to adapt to the restriction of growth factors is directly related to its ability to compete for those resources with the cultivated species. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of water restriction on the growth and biomass partitioning of four species of weeds. The experimental design used randomized blocks, with five replications. The treatments were arranged in a 4 x 2 factorial, with the first factor being the weed species (Waltheria indica, Crotalaria retusa, Cleome affinis and Commelina benghalensis) and the second, two water regimes: daily irrigation (Irr) and water restriction (WR). The number of leaves, leaf area, dry mass of the plant and its parts (root, stem and leaf), and the mass distribution among different organs (roots, leaves and stems) were determined. The water deficit in the soil increased the root dry matter for C. retusa, W. indica and C. benghalensis, however, it did not alter the mass of the stem of the weeds. C. retusa and W. indica suffered a reduction on the number of leaves, leaf area, dry matter of the leaves and the plant dry matter under water deficit. W. indica and C. retusa had a reduction on the percentage of biomass allocated to the leaves, and an increment on the percentage of the roots mass, while C. benghalensis and C. affinis had an increase only on the roots mass.

ABSTRACT The species Tecoma stans, introduced to Brazil to be cultivated in urban centers as street trees, in parks and gardens, became important pasture weed. The mechanical control of this species is difficult because the plant presents a large number of sprouts when are mowed. Furthermore, the herbicides usually used in pasture have been shown to be inefficient to control it. This research evaluated the trumpet flower control effectiveness using a new herbicide (aminocyclopyrachlor) applied alone in increasing doses to the cut stump for the control of resprouts and mixed with metsulfuron-methyl in applications to intact plant leaves. The experiment with foliar applications used increasing doses of herbicides (aminocyclopyrachlor + metsulfuron-methyl). Applications of only aminocyclopyrachlor to the cut stump and foliar application of a herbicidal mixture (aminocyclopyrachlor + metsulfuron-methyl) were effective in the control of trumpet flower.

ABSTRACT The nitric oxide acts on the antioxidant system of plants and can discontinue the damage of herbicides elicitors of oxidative stress that cause the disruption of membranes and leakage of cellular contents. In order to evaluate the protective effect of nitric oxide in electrolytes leakage, leaf segments of the Puita INTA CL rice cultivar were incubated with 0, 5, 50, 500 and 5,000 μM clomazone (360 g a.i. L-1), oxadiazon (250 g a.i. L-1), oxyfluorfen (240 g a.i. L-1) and the formulated mixture of paraquat (200 g a.i. L-1) + diuron (100 g a.i. L-1) to obtain the maximum potential conductivity of 50% (MPC50). Subsequently, leaf segments were pre-treated with 0, 200 and 2,000 μM of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) for four hours and further incubated for 48 hours with 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 times the concentration of the herbicide that caused the CMP50, and the protective effect was reassessed in the presence of nitric oxide scavenger, cPTIO. The MPC50 was caused by exposure to 188.9, 273.4, 410.2 + 205.1 and 917.0 μM of Oxadiazon, Oxyfluorfen, Paraquat + Diuron and Clomazone. Pretreatment with 200 μM of SNP reduced electrolyte leakage in leaf segments exposed to 2 and 4 times the MPC50 to oxadiazon and paraquat + diuron, while 2,000 μM reduced the damage caused by oxyfluorfen, at the same concentrations. Also, 200 and 2,000 μM of SNP were efficient for clomazone, and the protection was confirmed by cPTIO in all cases.

Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT For the successful execution of chemical weed control in sugarcane crop, the selectivity of herbicides is a factor of great importance to maximize crop yield. Each cultivar may respond differently to the same herbicide in the same dose, and selectivity is not only determined by the visual presence or absence of phytotoxicity. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of herbicides amicarbazone, tebuthiuron, and diuron + hexazinona on the electron transport rate in photosystem II (ETR), along with the development and yield of sugarcane cultivars RB867515, CTC 4, CTC 9, and CTC 17 in greenhouse, and field conditions. Under greenhouse conditions ETR was assessed by a portable fluorometer, aa well as dry weight and phytotoxicity of the plants. In field evaluations, ETR, number of stems, yield and technological characteristics were assessed. In the greenhouse, the tebuthiuron herbicide caused the lowest reduction levels of ETR, phytotoxicity and dry weight of different sugarcane cultivars, followed by amicarbazone, and diuron + hexazinona. The effects of herbicides in ETR and phytotoxicity were more intense in greenhouse conditions than in field conditions for all cultivars. Herbicides tebuthiuron, amicarbazone and diuron + hexazinoa were selective for all evaluated cultivars, and reductions in the ETR after herbicide application did not affect the yield and technological characteristics of sugarcane cultivars.

Abstract Dioctophyme renale is a zoonotic parasite with worldwide distribution, although its occurrence is little known. The objective here was to evaluate the presence of parasite eggs in the environment and in the urine of dogs and cats in an urban area. Soil samples and urine were evaluated respectively by means of the Caldwell-Caldwell technique and urinalysis. Out of the 100 soil samples, 3% presented D. renale eggs, and out of the 43 urine samples, 18.6% were positive, including the feline samples. Thus, D. renale eggs are present in the urban environment, and dogs and cats are parasitized by this nematode, which therefore represents a risk to public health.

Abstract The current study aimed to investigate the helminth parasites of a population of Galictis cuja (Carnivora, Mustelidae) that occur in Atlantic Forest in the Southeastern region of Brazil. We necropsied 18 specimens of G. cuja, collected between January 2009 and May 2014, ran over victims on BR-040 highway, between the municipalities of Duque de Caxias, state of Rio de Janeiro and Juiz de Fora, state of Minas Gerais, localities inserted in Atlantic rainforest Biome. A total of six species of helminths were identified: Dioctophyme renale, Molineus elegans, Physaloptera sp., Strongyloides sp., Platynosomum illiciens, and Pachysentis gethi. Molineus elegans, Physaloptera sp. and P. illiciens were recorded for the first time in this host. Data provided in the current study when compared to the previous reports of parasitism by helminths in G. cuja in Brazil demonstrate that this study is the most representative with this host species.
First study on communities of parasites in Triportheus rotundatus, a Characidae fish from the Amazon River system (Brazil)
Authors: Santos Paulo Henrique Nascimento , Tavares-Dias Marcos
Published: November 2016

Abstract This study was the first investigation on the parasites of Triportheus rotundatus, a Characiformes fish from the Amazon, in Brazil. All the fish collected (100%) in a tributary from the Amazon River system were infected by one or more parasite species. The mean species richness of parasites was 4.9 ± 0.9, the Brillouin index was 0.39 ± 0.16, the evenness was 0.24 ± 0.09 and the Berger-Parker dominance was 0.81 ± 0.13. A total of 1316 metazoan parasites were collected, including Anacanthorus pithophallus, Anacanthorus furculus, Ancistrohaptor sp. (Dactylogyridae), Genarchella genarchella (Derogenidae), Posthodiplostomum sp. (Diplostomidae), Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) inopinatus (Camallanidae), Echinorhynchus paranensis (Echinorhynchidae) and Ergasilus sp. (Ergasilidae), but monogenoideans were the dominant parasites. These parasites presented an aggregate dispersion pattern, except for P. (S.) inopinatus, which showed a random dispersion pattern. The body conditions of the hosts were not affected by the parasitism levels. This first report of these parasites for T. rotundatus indicates that the presence of ectoparasites and endoparasites was due to hosts behavior and availability of infective stages in the environment, and this was discussed.

Abstract Brazil has a wide diversity of exotic birds that were brought to this country during the European colonization. These animals are kept in captivity and, in some cases, in inadequate facilities, which may facilitate the introduction of pathogens, including gastrointestinal parasites. The purpose of this study was to identify the main gastrointestinal parasites that affect exotic birds living in captivity in the state of Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil. Fecal samples (n = 362) from exotic birds were analyzed by direct examination and by the Willis-Mollay technique. Eggs of Amidostomum sp., Ascaridia sp., Capillarinae, Heterakis sp., Trichostrongylidae, and oocysts of coccidians were identified in nine different bird species. This is the first report in Brazil of infection by Ascaridia sp. and Heterakis sp. in Nymphicus hollandicus; by Trichostrongylidae in Serinus canaria and Streptopelia risoria.

La financiación inicial y final en el circuito monetario y la teoría de la demanda efectiva
Authors: Cesaratto Sergio
Published: November 2016

Un aspecto notable de la teoría heterodoxa moderna es la separación entre los modelos de crecimiento basados en la demanda y las teorías del dinero endógeno. Este artículo sugiere una posible integración entre la teoría keynesiana del multiplicador (y el supermultiplicador) y las teorías del dinero endógeno y la financiación de Keynes. Centrándose en la versión de la teoría del circuito monetario (TCM) de Graziani, es una contribución para reconciliar la preocupación de la tcm por la financiación inicial de la producción y la preocupación de las teorías del crecimiento heterodoxas orientadas a la demanda por el financiamiento final de la demanda autónoma.

Os coagulantes são amplamente utilizados no tratamento de água, porém, o estudo da associação dos coagulantes ainda é escasso. Assim, este trabalho propõe avaliar a eficiência da associação do coagulante natural Moringa oleifera Lam (M. oleifera) juntamente com o coagulante sintético policloreto de alumínio (PAC) em diferentes dosagens e pHs de coagulação, por meio da utilização de diagramas de coagulação no tratamento de água superficial. Os ensaios foram realizados em Jar Test, com água superficial proveniente da bacia do Rio Pirapó, Maringá, PR, variando-se o pH de coagulação e as dosagens de coagulantes, a fim de verificar a eficiência de remoção dos parâmetros de qualidade cor aparente, turbidez e compostos com absorção em UV254nm. Após os ensaios de coagulação/floculação e sedimentação, amostras de água tratada foram coletadas para avaliar a eficiência do processo por meio do residual obtido para os parâmetros de qualidade. Foram obtidas redução de até 40% na dosagem do coagulante sintético PAC, sem comprometer a qualidade da água produzida. Assim, a utilização de M. oleifera pode desempenhar um papel-chave na diminuição da quantidade de coagulante sintético utilizada no tratamento de água, além de ser mais compatível com as questões ambientais atuais.

ABSTRACT

The coagulants are largely used in water treatment, however, the study of association of the coagulant are still scarce. This work aims to evaluate the effectiveness of natural coagulant Moringa oleifera Lam (M. oleifera) in association with coagulant polyaluminium chloride synthetic (PAC) in various dosages and coagulation pHs, using coagulation diagrams, in the treatment of surface water. The tests were performed in Jar Test with surface water from Pirapó River Basin, Maringá, PR, varying the coagulation pHs and dosages of coagulants, in order to verify the quality parameters removal efficiency: apparent color, turbidity and compounds with absorption at UV254nm. After coagulation/flocculation and sedimentation tests, treated water samples were collected to evaluate the process efficiency by the residual obtained for quality parameters. Reduction near 40% was obtained for synthetic coagulant PAC dosage, without compromising the produced water quality. Thus, the use of M. oleifera can play a key role in reducing the quantity of synthetic coagulant used in water treatment, beside to be more compatible with current environmental issues.

Mountains, Melting Pot, and Microcosm: Health Care Delay and Dengue/Zika Interplay on Hawaii Island
Authors: Baenziger Nancy L.
Published: November 2016

Human history in the Hawaiian Islands offers a sobering study in the population dynamics of infectious disease. The indigenous population numbering an estimated half million people prior to Western contact in 1778 was reduced to less than 24,000 by 1920. Much of the decline occurred in the earliest decades after contact with Western diseases including measles, chicken pox, polio, tuberculosis, and venereal disease. A recent outbreak on the Island of Hawaii (also called the Big Island) of imported dengue fever, an illness endemic in 100 countries affecting an estimated 100–400 million people worldwide, provides insights into the problems and prospects for health care policy in managing mosquito-borne disease in a multicultural setting of geographic isolation and health care provider shortage. This incident represents in microcosm a practice run, applicable in many contexts, for an initial localized appearance of Zika virus infection, with important lessons for effective health care management in a rapidly moving and fluid arena.
Barriers to Teaching Social Determinants of Health: Nursing Study-Abroad Programs in a Digital Age
Authors: de Ruiter Hans-Peter
Published: November 2016

The social determinants of health are the conditions in which humans are born, grow up, live, work, and age (World Health Organization [WHO], 2012). In nursing programs, this content is typically taught in community health courses. Another strategy for teaching students how to understand the social determinants of health is study-abroad courses. Budding nurses can learn how to assess conditions that influence the health of a community. Conducting this assessment in a culture that differs from the student's own can help highlight what factors impact one's own health. For the past eight years, the author has been teaching the social and cultural determinants of health to nursing students by taking them on 3-week cultural immersion/community health study-abroad programs. Destinations have included Ghana, Austria, the Netherlands, and Thailand. This article presents observations on how the teaching of social determinants of health has changed during the period 2008–2016.

Published: November 2016

Evaluating the implementation of care models such as Primary Nursing requires assessment of both short-term and long-term outcomes. In a hospital in Piemonte, Italy, a mixed-method time-series study was conducted to assess if and how the organizational culture of nurses changed in relation to the implementation of a new organizational model of care. Instruments used included the Condition of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire (CWEQ II) and an investigator-developed questionnaire to evaluate perceptions of dimensions consistent with Primary Nursing. Results showed a significant culture change over time related to the implementation of Primary Nursing, mainly in terms of nurses ‘understanding of their professional role specifications. In addition, the results supported a relationship between being involved in the project implementation and the procedural and cultural approach adopted.
Communication with Patients and Families as a Global Determinant of Health: Lessons from Care of Children with Special Health Care Needs
Authors: Glad-Timmons Jenni , Potter Teddie
Published: November 2016

Until recently, patients and families were not considered by all providers to be valued members of the health care team. Many providers made decisions away from the bedside and then told the patient and family what they could expect from the plan of care. This top-down approach is not limited to one country or culture but reflects an attitude prevalent in biomedicine around the globe. However, the paradigm is beginning to shift. Skyrocketing health care costs have prompted value-based purchasing, in which third-party payment is linked to patient outcomes and satisfaction. Providers and health care organizations are scrambling for evidence-based models to improve communication and other satisfaction-related criteria. This article proposes that teaching patients and families use of the Situation/Background/Assessment/Recommendations (SBAR) tool, traditionally used among health care professionals, will improve communication, enhance patient and family satisfaction, and potentially improve patient outcomes overall. The SBAR4Patients project demonstrates the positive impact SBAR can have on parents of chronically ill children.

Authors: Renn McCartney , Steffen Lori
Published: November 2016

Students and faculty from a Midwestern college conducted a neighborhood community needs assessment in an impoverished area of a Peruvian city to identify health needs of residents. Students interviewed residents in their homes, asking about the need for medical, dental, and ophthalmic care and screening for chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and tuberculosis. The survey provided necessary information to medical mission workers and allowed students to directly observe family living conditions while assessing psychosocial needs of the families interviewed. The challenges of this survey included differing expectations, language barriers, recruiting neighborhood volunteers, safety risks to students, and mistrust by neighborhood residents.

Ante el dolor de los demás. Las lágrimas de Marguerite Duras
Authors: Balcázar Melina
Published: November 2016

A lo largo de su obra narrativa y cinematográfica, Marguerite Duras explora las posibilidades de transformación —del sujeto, de la historia— que la emoción puede abrir. Una emoción que la autora quiere desbordante, excesiva, como una forma de insumisión contra el orden moral y social. Así, las lágrimas —las suyas y las de sus personajes— buscan decirnos algo más acerca del poder del pathos, mediante la relación que establece entre la muerte y el deseo.
