Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Objectives: to describe the use of toys by nursing during the care of children in the inpatient unit; to analyze the factors that influence the use of therapeutic toys by nursing in the care of hospitalized children. Methods: qualitative research, conducted in a pediatric hospital in Rio de Janeiro between July and August 2019. Semi-structured interview and thematic analysis were used as methodological procedure. Results: the 12 nurses and 7 nursing technicians revealed minimizing fear, relieving tension, and creating a bond between the child and the professional as the main benefits; they use as resources: children’s toys, hospital materials, cartoons, and children’s videos. The high demand for work, deficit of human resources, and appropriate ludic materials are factors that interfere with the use of toys as a therapeutic resource. Final Considerations: although the participants recognize the importance of the toy as a therapeutic resource, there is no systematization of its use in pediatric practice.

Authors: Silva Vanessa Wayne Palhares da , Figueira Keylla Lopes , Silva Flávia Garcez da , Zagui Guilherme Sgobbi , Meschede Marina Smidt Celere
Published: April 2023

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é investigar as evidências nacionais e internacionais disponíveis sobre o descarte de medicamentos e os impactos em matrizes ambientais. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e que incluiu artigos em inglês, espanhol e português publicados entre 2010 e 2020. Foram selecionados 26 artigos, que evidenciaram o descarte incorreto de medicamentos por profissionais e consumidores devido, principalmente, à falta de conhecimentos sobre os impactos ambientais que esses podem ocasionar. Estudos apontaram a contaminação de água, esgoto e sedimentos por fármacos descartados de forma incorreta. Além disso, observou-se que seres vivos aquáticos podem ser impactados pela presença de medicamentos em matrizes ambientais. O descarte de medicamentos incorreto ainda é uma realidade nas evidências avaliadas, que promove a contaminação de matrizes ambientais e muitas vezes não é removido por estações de tratamento de águas residuárias e interfere no equilíbrio da vida ambiental.

Published: April 2023

Resumo O trabalho apresenta uma proposta de agrupamento de casos para organização de serviços e linhas de cuidado. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, no campo do planejamento e organização dos serviços de saúde, que utilizou como caminho metodológico a pesquisa documental e bibliográfica e a consulta a especialistas, por meio da técnica de grupo nominal. A partir da análise estratégica, foram identificados quatro grupos: MC menores; MC de abordagem cirúrgica tardia; MC de abordagem cirúrgica imediata; e MC incompatíveis com a vida. A proposição partiu da articulação dos conhecimentos da clínica, da epidemiologia e do planejamento em saúde para auxiliar no desenho e organização da atenção às malformações congênitas. A análise estratégica mostrou-se adequada e permitiu identificar grupos de casos que demandam um conjunto homogêneo de atividades assistenciais e o cuidado em serviços de saúde com perfil assistencial similar. Tal proposta pode contribuir também para o planejamento regional e a organização da rede de atenção a outros problemas e condições complexas de saúde que demandam a articulação de serviços especializados e de alta densidade tecnológica.

Resumo Objetivou-se caracterizar o perfil de internações de crianças na rede pública dos 52 municípios do estado de Rondônia, Brasil, no período de 2008 a 2019. Trata-se de um estudo de série temporal do tipo ecológico, com dados secundários do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares. A tendência anual das internações foi apresentada por faixa etária e regional de saúde. Foi realizada regressão linear aplicando a técnica de Prais-Winsten no pacote estatístico Stata, versão 11.0. As internações por doenças gastrointestinais tiveram declínio em todas as faixas etárias, assim como pelas doenças previníveis por imunizantes entre 1 a 9 anos. As internações por doenças de pele e tecido subcutâneo foram crescentes em todas as idades, as epilepsias em idades de 1 a 9 anos e pelas doenças relacionadas ao parto e puerpério foi crescente. As regiões de saúde apresentaram perfil de internações variável, com tendência estável nas regiões Cone Sul, Madeira-Mamoré, Café, Vale do Guaporé, Vale do Jamari; e em declínio nas regiões Central e Zona da Mata. As elevadas taxas de internações por condições sensíveis à atenção primária em crianças refletem a pouca efetividade das estratégias e dos investimentos na esfera da atenção primária no estado.

Abstract This study aimed to define the profile of hospitalizations of children in public hospitals of 52 municipalities of the state of Rondônia, Brazil. We performed an ecological time series study using secondary data provided by the Hospital Information System. The annual trend of Hospitalizations was presented by age group and health region. Linear regression was performed using the Prais-Winsten technique of the statistical package Stata, version 11.0. Hospitalizations for gastrointestinal diseases were found to be decreasing in all age groups, just as those for vaccine-preventable diseases in children aged between 1 and 9 years. Hospitalizations for skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases were increasing in all ages, as well as those caused by epilepsies in children aged 1 to 9 and those caused by diseases related to childbirth and puerperium. Health regions showed a varied hospitalization profile. A stable trend was found in the Cone Sul, Madeira-Mamoré, Café, Vale do Guaporé, and Vale do Jamari regions, whereas a declining trend was found in the Central and Zona da Mata regions. The high rates of hospitalizations for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions in children show how inefficient strategies and investments in primary care have been in the state of Acre, Brazil.
National Comprehensive Health Care Policy for People Deprived of Liberty in the Prison System: a reflection from the perspective of intersectorality
Authors: Bartos Mariana Scaff Haddad
Published: April 2023

Abstract This essay aims to bring up the debate on access to health in the prison system, focusing on the National Comprehensive Health Care Policy for People Deprived of Liberty (PNAISP) and the intersectoriality proposed by the policy. As intersectoral articulation is one of the PNAISP main guidelines, we aim to reflect on its implementation, considering the Prison Primary Care Teams (EABP) professionals as street-level bureaucrats and the difficulty of access to health by people deprived of liberty as wicked problems. We understand that there are gaps in studies on access to health in the prison system with an intersectoral approach and analysis of the PNAISP with an academic focus and from the perspective of intersectorality. We aim to contribute to this debate within Public Health, addressing reflections on a health policy that affects the prison system.

Resumo O objetivo foi analisar os fatores associados ao uso dos serviços odontológicos no Brasil. A estratégia de revisão incluiu as bases PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, BBO, EMBASE, Scopus, WOS e Google Scholar, além de repositórios e bancos de dissertações e teses. Os estudos foram selecionados usando a estratégia PEO (população/exposição/desfechos). O desfecho deste estudo foi o uso dos serviços odontológicos no último ano pela população brasileira, tratado como variáveis dicotômicas para as análises: ≤ 1 ano e > 1 ano. Foi realizada uma metanálise de efeito randômico de Mantel-Haenszel, estimando-se razões de prevalência (RP) e intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%). Foram selecionados 94 estudos. A maioria (98%) tinha delineamento transversal, sendo 63% oriundos de dados primários. Para a metanálise, 25 estudos foram incluídos. O uso dos serviços odontológicos no último ano esteve associado com maior escolaridade (≥ 8 anos de estudo) (RP = 0,49, (IC95%: 0,39-0,60)); maior renda familiar (≥ 2 salários-mínimos) (RP = 0,79, (IC95%: 0,74-0,84)); e residir na zona urbana (RP = 0,79, (IC95%: 0,64-0,97)). A oferta de serviços odontológicos no Sistema Único de Saúde precisa ser ampliada entre pessoas com menor renda, menor escolaridade e moradores da zona rural.

O consumismo da desinformação em saúde: os abjetos objetos do desejo
Authors: Vasconcellos-Silva Paulo Roberto
Published: April 2023

Resumo O desafio de analisar a distorção infodêmica e o ávido consumo das Fake News (FN) está ligado à complexidade das engrenagens de produção, divulgação e contaminação do imaginário social. As modalidades de situações desinformativas e lacunas no arcabouço conceitual desdobram-se em indeterminações, embora pouca atenção se tenha dedicado à recepção das mensagens. O presente ensaio refere-se às circunstâncias tecnológicas e culturais a partir das quais prospera a produção e consumo incoercível da mentira, não raro justificada sob diversos propósitos. Destaca-se a centralidade do engodo em massa como agressão à política e à saúde pública em um contexto sociocultural no qual o vício na excitação tornou-se estruturante. Serão usadas ferramentas analíticas da Filosofia da Excitação de Christoph Tücker para compreender o fenômeno da ininterrupta produção de estímulos e artefatos imagéticos que incitam ao vício nas narrativas de ludíbrio e das interações sem relacionalidade. Conclui-se que no contexto da atual “Idade Mídia”, novas modalidades de ideologia e alienação estão envolvidas em ciclos de consumo. As necessidades da identidade grupal geram discursos sem diálogo e deterioração dos processos comunicativos a partir do qual o poder da convicção impera sobre o factual.
The consumerism of misinformation in health: the abject objects of desire
Authors: Vasconcellos-Silva Paulo Roberto
Published: April 2023

Abstract The challenge of analyzing the infodemic distortion and avid consumption of fake news is linked to the complexity of production, dissemination, and contamination of the social imagination. The modalities of uninformative situations and gaps in the conceptual framework fall into indeterminacy, although scant attention has been devoted to the reception of messages. This paper refers to the technological and cultural circumstances from which the production and uncontrollable consumption of lies thrive, often justified for different purposes. The centrality of mass deception is highlighted as an aggression to politics and public health in a socio-cultural context in which the addiction to excitement has become structural. Analytical tools from Türcke’s Philosophy of Sensation are used to understand the phenomenon of uninterrupted production of stimuli and imagery artifacts that incite addiction in narratives of deception and interactions without any relationship. The conclusion drawn is that in the context of the current “Media Age”, new forms of ideology and alienation are involved in consumption cycles. The needs of group identity generate speech without dialogue and deterioration of communicative processes in which the power of conviction prevails over fact.

Published: April 2023

Abstract Adequate nutrition has a profound impact on older adults’ health. Therefore, special attention should be given to the dietetic intake of added sugars, which in excess is associated with poorer control of chronic diseases in this phase. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of consumption of added sugars in older adults in the Campinas-SP region, its associated factors, and its main dietary sources. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the region of Campinas-SP, with a convenience sample of 586 older individuals. Intake was obtained using two 24-hour food recalls, and values >5% of total energy consumption were considered inadequate. The contribution of the groups and foods in relation to the total content of sugars was also calculated. A critical level of p<0.05 was considered. The average intake of added sugars was higher than recommended (7.0%), and this inadequacy was observed in more than half of the sample, being table sugar and honey the main dietary sources. The prevalence of inadequate consumption was higher among women (69.8%; p=0.004) and individuals with low weight (83.7%; p=0.014), and lower in those with diabetes (47.8%; p<0.001). Results indicate that health and nutrition actions should be developed to ensure adequate sugar intake at this stage.

Published: April 2023

Abstract This article aims to map promotion, protection, and support strategies aimed at working women who breastfeed and their potential impact on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDGs 5 (gender equality and women’s empowerment) and 8 (decent work and economic growth). This study is a scoping review based on the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) framework, whose searches were performed in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Social Science Research Network, and Open Knowledge Repository databases. This study’s search obtained 576 publications, of which 33 were included in the study. The narrative synthesis was organized into three axes: 1) promotion; 2) protection, and 3) support for breastfeeding in the work context. Actions aimed at women who breastfeed at work have the potential to directly achieve SDGs 5 and 8, and indirectly achieve SDGs 1 and 10. Increased breastfeeding rates also help to achieve another four SDGs (2, 3, 4, 12). Actions aimed at working women who breastfeed can contribute directly and indirectly to the achievement of eight of the 17 SDGs, and should therefore be encouraged and reinforced.

Authors: Dehua Liu
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Strength training is the basis for all sports and physical training. Evidence suggests that its benefit may extend to the athlete’s general physical fitness, although few studies refer to the table tennis player. Objective: Study the effect of upper limb strength training on the physical fitness of table tennis players. Methods: Twenty sportsmen from a college were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group had the addition of an upper limb strength training protocol in their training, while the control group continued with conventional training. The experiment lasted eight weeks, with interventions three times a week, at intervals with a minimum of one day. Results: Specific fitness varied widely between groups: spinning technique in the experimental group increased from 36.66±6.85 per minute before the experiment to 41.03±7.06, P<0.05. In the control group, the turning technique was 61.41±4.73/min to 66.49±4.74/min after the experiment, P>0.05. Conclusion: Complementing the tennis training program with specific upper limb muscle strength training can effectively improve explosive muscle strength in its athletes, substantially increasing physical fitness for table tennis players.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Dedicated fitness training has greatly influenced many qualities required of volleyball players, but specific upper limb training is still poorly documented. Objective: Study the impacts of fitness training on upper limb strength and functional impacts during volleyball players’ ball throws. Methods: Twenty volleyball students were randomly divided into experimental and control groups for a six-week experiment. The experimental group mainly performed a training protocol involving ball throws while the control group continued with traditional training methods. The data regarding functional kinematics and fitness performance were collected and statistically compared. Results: In the experimental group, shoulder flexor strength evidenced an increase from 0.41±0.19 J/kg to 1.29±0.19 J/kg; elbow flexor strength elevated from 0.38±0.23 J/kg to 1.61±0.02 J/kg. On the specific functional performance, the peak score increased from 4.84±1.44 to 7.47±1.43; The overall score increased from 9.05±1.70 to 13.31±1.72. It was noted that the rate of increase of each index was more significant than that of the control group. Conclusion: Dedicated fitness training can improve the upper limb strength and hitting effect of volleyball players, and its combination with special strength training is recommended to improve the overall skills of athletes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Authors: Duan Yongbin , Gan Wei , Tian Mengyi
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Joint flexibility and muscle strength play a vital role in the training process of martial arts athletes. The proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) technique encourages the neural receptors, through the application of manual resistances, in the gain of functional range of motion and stability to its patients. It is believed that this technique can be adapted to the sports environment. Objective: Evaluate the impact of stretching using the PNF technique on martial arts athletes’ flexibility and muscle strength. Methods: Through a controlled experiment, 100 martial arts athletes, without significant differences, were selected as experimental subjects, and randomly divided into two groups for a 4-week experiment. The experimental group added a protocol with PNF stretching exercises in the training, while the control group performed the usual training without interventions. Indicators of flexibility, functional activities, and strength were measured before and after the intervention, compared, and statistically analyzed. Results: Joint flexibility with the shoulder rotation test evolved from 21.88±5.71 to 19.22±5.94, and the left and right division was from 16.90±5.36 to 10.57±3.75; as for muscle strength, the flexor peak moment elevated from 210.36±51.18 to 251.37± 45.72, and flexor power had a gain from 111.76±30.63 to 135.20±2,.42. The extensor peak moment also showed expressive evolutions from 179.47±43.96 to 221.52±33.60. Conclusion: The PNF stretching exercise technique effectively optimizes martial arts athletes’ joint flexibility and muscle strength.
