Representações sobre a atuação docente na educação infantil
Authors: Aragão Milena , Kreutz Lúcio
Published: August 2018

O presente texto busca investigar as representações de professoras da Educação Infantil a respeito de sua função. Para atingir o objetivo proposto, foi realizado um grupo de discussão com seis professoras de Educação Infantil, atuantes numa Escola Municipal da cidade de Caxias do Sul no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, em torno da questão: “O que é ser professora para você?”. As respostas foram problematizadas a partir de uma perspectiva histórico-cultural. Os resultados apontaram narrativas que associavam a função docente à vocação, ao dom e à maternidade, sendo o cuidado o ponto central de suas ações, com pouca valorização para a formação docente. Neste sentido, este estudo mostrou-se relevante por proporcionar uma reflexão crítica sobre a atuação e formação docente na Educação Infantil, questionando as naturalizações e denunciando contradições.
Formação do professor de educação infantil: políticas e processos
Authors: Amorim Ana Luisa Nogueira de , Dias Adelaide Alves
Published: August 2018

O objetivo do artigo é analisar as políticas nacionais de formação do professor de Educação Infantil, a partir de 1990, e discutir os desdobramentos dessas políticas na prática. O estudo se articula com as discussões da área e reafirma a necessidade de se investir em uma formação específica para o professor de Educação Infantil. A análise revelou que, nos últimos anos, essa discussão ganhou corpo e se transformou em políticas e práticas efetivas, indicando que parte das reivindicações dos educadores foi contemplada nos documentos e nas políticas educacionais. Entretanto, ao analisar as influências dessas políticas no contexto municipal, verificou-se os descompassos entre a legislação e as políticas nacionais e o que ocorre nas políticas e práticas locais. Esse resultado reforça a necessidade de se investir na formação docente, apontando o longo caminho a ser percorrido no sentido de garantir a formação inicial e continuada dos professores de Educação Infantil.

Published: August 2018

Nosso objetivo nesse artigo é compreender aspectos envolvidos no processo reflexivo individual e coletivo mobilizados pela escrita de narrativas e sua discussão em grupo procurando entender como essas práticas de escrita e discussão em um grupo colaborativo podem ser potencializadoras do desenvolvimento profissional docente ao dar visibilidade às experiências com a matemática na trajetória como estudante e na docência. O projeto envolveu participação voluntária de professores/pesquisadores universitários, futuros professores e professores dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Neste trabalho, utilizamos como fonte de dados diferentes narrativas orais e escritas de uma participante, produzidas ao longo de um ano. A análise nos possibilitou ouvir sua voz e a entender a cultura da aula de matemática vivida por ela a partir do seu ponto de vista. Observamos que aspectos do desenvolvimento profissional foram sendo explicitados, quando ela começa a projetar como poderia implementar práticas pedagógicas distintas dos professores que a marcaram negativamente.

Mantendo o conhecimento na conversação curricular, porém via discurso: um diálogo com Gert Biesta
Authors: Lopes Alice Casimiro
Published: August 2018

Apresento neste artigo meu diálogo com Gert Biesta sobre as conexões entre conhecimento, poder, currículo e discurso. Defendo que esta forma de pensar não é relativista. A ausência de critérios que finalmente justifiquem de uma vez por todas uma decisão realizada entre diferentes possibilidades de solução para um problema - diferentes opções curriculares, assim como diferentes formas de educar - não é uma razão para que decisões não sejam realizadas. Concordo com Derrida e Laclau que tais decisões são tomadas em um terreno indecidível.Palavras-chave: Conhecimento. Currículo. Pragmatismo.
Blogs escolares: dispositivos comunicacionais para a aprendizagem colaborativa
Authors: Schönin Raquel Regina Zmorzenski Valduga , Sartori Ademilde Silveira
Published: August 2018

Instituições escolares estão adotando dispositivos de comunicação disponibilizados pela rede que viabilizam propostas pedagógicas que promovem a aprendizagem colaborativa. Este artigo trata das conclusões obtidas pela realização de uma pesquisa documental com a intenção de compreender como a escola básica cria e mantém dispositivos de comunicação com os alunos. A metodologia utilizada teve cunho qualitativo e interpretativo. O procedimento metodológico consistiu na análise de documentos escritos online: os blogs das Escolas Básicas Municipais. O corpus da pesquisa foi constituído por 24 blogs de escolas básicas da rede municipal de Florianópolis. A partir de suas características interativas, comunicacionais, institucionais e pedagógicas, a análise buscou compreender como as escolas estão propiciando dispositivos que favoreçam a construção de ambiências comunicativas. O blog é um dispositivo de comunicação potencialmente interativo porque permite a coautoria, a troca de papéis entre emissor e receptor, e a mensagem se torna uma construção conjunta entre ambos. A pesquisa verificou a subutilização da característica de interatividade como consequência da maneira pela qual o blog tem sido administrado, com um autor apenas, o que reduz sua capacidade comunicativa e implica a necessidade de desenvolvimento de estratégias para o domínio técnico do dispositivo bem como um maior aprofundamento na compreensão do que vem a ser interatividade. Há a necessidade de se potencializar o ambiente comunicativo na escola, e os blogs têm uma importante contribuição a dar.Palavras-chave: Ambiência comunicativa. Aprendizagem colaborativa. Blog.

Gino Severini: El Futurismo más francés
Authors: Martínez Silvente Mª Jesús
Published: August 2018

Gino Severini, pintor italiano ligado al movimiento futurista, es un genuino representante de los que conocieron y asimilaron las directrices vanguardistas que se desarrollaban en el París de principios del pasado siglo. En el transcurso de su vida, actuó de intermediario entre el cubismo y el futurismo, volvió a la tradición siguiendo su tratado "Del cubismo al clasicismo" y retomó el cubismo sintético en años de confusión. En todas sus fases como pintor tuvo muy en cuenta la personalidad arrolladora de Picasso que, en el sugerente deambular de su tiempo, capitaneaba con fuerza el mundo de las artes.

Authors: Ruismäki Heikki , Juvonen Antti
Published: August 2018

In this article we focus on the world of colour associations and atmospheres experienced by a
famous and successful piano pedagogue. The aim of the study is to open one point of view inside
the phenomenon of synaesthesia through one case which is truly reliable. This case study is
based on personal interviews with the pedagogue (August 16-19, 1999, and April 27, 2010), and
the findings are anchored theoretically in the synaesthetic experience. The article subtitles are
the themes and subjects used in the interviews, and the free association discussions have been
shaped into more structured form. To express the events in a way that is similar to the real life
experiences, we have quoted the interviewee directly in our text.

The article shows one individual´s way of experiencing, seeing and feeling the world of sounds
and voices. It is concluded that the synaesthesia experiences of the target of the case study were
genuine and they were repeated in two different interviews. Synaesthesia is a real phenomenon
and not fake in any point of view

Radicals and Polymers
Authors: Nesvadba Peter
Published: August 2018

This article describes some selected results of my 30 years as an industrial researcher. During this time, I had the chance to work on many very different projects. About two thirds of them were dealing with the fascinating interaction of radicals and polymers. Of the more than 350
million tons of industrial polymers produced worldwide every year, about 50% are made by the radical polymerization of monomers that are often stabilized against undesired premature polymerization by addition of polymerization inhibitors. Stabilizers are necessary to protect
the majority of polymeric materials during their service life from radical degradation processes triggered by oxygen, heat or light. Modification of the polymeric architecture can be easily achieved via radical polymer analogous reactions. One of the most important developments in polymer
science in the last 25 years is controlled radical polymerization. Recently, radical bearing redox-active polymers emerged as promising in energy storage applications, for example, in organic radical batteries. Our contributions to the fields mentioned above are described with examples
of: a) novel benzofuranone stabilizers for polymers; b) the serendipidous discovery of novel dyestuffs; c) eco-friendly polymerization inhibitors; d) novel nitroxides and alkoxyamines for the first industrial realization of controlled radical polymerization; e) novel and safe radical initiators; f) nitroxide radicals bearing polymers for electrochemical applications.
Glycine Transporter Type I (GlyT1) Inhibitor, Bitopertin: A Journey from Lab to Patient
Authors: Pinard Emmanuel , Borroni Edilio , Koerner Annette , Umbricht Daniel , Alberati Daniela
Published: August 2018

Glycine transporter-1 (GlyT1) inhibition has been extensively studied both in pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions primarily as a potential new approach to treat schizophrenia, a severe and chronic mental illness. More recently, preclinical results have suggested that
this approach could also have therapeutic potential for CNS disorders beyond schizophrenia as well as for non-CNS indications. Over the past 17 years, Roche has been a key player in the GlyT1 field with the discovery and development of bitopertin, the most advanced GlyT1 inhibitor to date
and the only one which completed Phase III clinical studies for schizophrenia. In this article, we relate the eventful journey of the discovery and development of bitopertin, from project initiation in 2001 to its evaluation today in patients suffering from beta-thalassemia, a monogenic hereditary haematological disorder.

Effects of Workplace Violence on Nurses Working in the Emergency Department
Authors: Blythe Alicia
Published: August 2018

Workplace violence has been a trending topic of discussion across the country and is a concern for employees nationwide. The Emergency Department has been consistently documented as one area where workplace violence is most prevalent and presents a greater risk for occupational hazard. The escalating acts of violence toward emergency department nurses across the country have drastically increased and nurses have become targets of verbal and emotional abuse, subjected to threatening behavior, and have become victims of physical assaults. The purpose of this project was to identify the effects of workplace violence on nurses working in the Emergency Department. A quantitative descriptive study using modified Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) Workplace Violence staff assessment survey was used to identify emergency department nurses’ experiences with workplace violence. The mixed method design included a descriptive survey as well as series of open-ended questions to elicit personal accounts of violence in the workplace. A total of 36 nurses in the Emergency Department at Newport Hospital, a 129 bed community hospital in Newport, RI were surveyed. The results of the survey identified 95.45% (n=21) of nurses have experience some form of workplace violence. Physical violence such as being hit, punched, slapped, kicked, pinched, pushed, shoved, and scratched was experienced by at least half of nurses. Additionally, documented effects of workplace violence on staff members included burnout, low department morale, physical and emotional distress, and contributed to overall job dissatisfaction. The study identified workplace violence as an issue and recognizes the effects of violence on staff members is of significant concern that should be addressed with leadership support to recognize and decrease workplace violence in the ED.
Identification of Barriers to SBARB at the Bedside in an Acute Care Setting
Authors: Bryand Elizabeth
Published: August 2018

Nurse to nurse handoff that occurs at the end of each shift is a known area of potential safety risk due to poor communication and inadequate safety checks. The Joint Commission (TJC) reported that communication between healthcare providers or between patient and healthcare providers was the leading root cause of sentinel events. Research supports the benefits of a structure handoff at the bedside to patient safety and satisfaction. Despite these proven benefits, staff nurses have not consistently embraced the practice. The purpose of this study was to identify nurses’ perceived barriers to performing SBARP (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation and Patient) at the bedside in an acute care setting. Rogers Diffusion of Innovation Theory was used to guide the development and implementation of this project. A mixed qualitative and quantitative survey was utilized to assess the nurses’ perceived barriers to performing SBARP at the patient’s bedside. The survey was distributed to nurses employed on two medical-surgical floors at Newport Hospital. Responses (N = 19) showed that although staff nurses perceived that bedside handoff positively impacted patient satisfaction and patient safety, they did not routinely practice bedside handoff. Nurses cited lack of comfort with the practice, patient privacy, perception of time, and communication of sensitive information as barriers to performing bedside handoff. Sustaining practice change over time in an organization can be challenging. Leadership support and enforcement of bedside handoff in addition to targeted education to reduce perceived barriers to the practice may help to increase the practice of bedside handoff.
The Impact of Rhode Island's Mandatory Health Care Worker Influenza Vaccination Regulation on Influenza Incidence in Long-Term Care Facility Residents
Authors: Chicoine Wendy
Published: August 2018

Seasonal influenza is a serious public health problem that contributes to significant morbidity and mortality locally, nationally, and globally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that influenza has caused between 9.2 million and 60.8 million illnesses, between 140,000 and 710,000 hospitalizations, and between 12,000 and 56,000 deaths annually since 2010, and approximately 80- 90 percent of influenza related deaths occurred in people 65 years and older. In 2012, prompted by the mounting\ evidence of the risk of nosocomial influenza infection for patients and low influenza vaccination rates of health care workers, the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) amended its Rules and Regulations for Immunization and Testing for Healthcare Workers. This amendment included mandatory influenza vaccinations for all health care workers, students, volunteers, and trainees who have direct patient contact within a health care facility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the regulation of mandating influenza vaccination for health care workers in Rhode Island on influenza incidence, hospitalizations, and deaths of residents of long-term care facilities (LTCF). Surveillance data for influenza incidence, hospitalizations, and deaths among residents of LTCF pre and post the policy implementation are analyzed and results presented. Policy and practice implications for public health nursing are discussed.
Disaster Knowledge and Awareness of Nurses Related to Triage in Mass Casualty Incidents
Authors: Natareno Kathleen
Published: August 2018

American life, as we know it, is changing. Disasters are increasing in frequency. Over the past decade, more than two million people has lost their lives. Nationally, nurses are not familiar with concepts of disaster nursing and emergency management. Literature demonstrates that nurses lack the knowledge, skills, and ability to respond adequately in a disaster. This quality improvement project evaluated the effectiveness of an evidence based disaster awareness program specifically designed for nurses who work in the emergency department. This quality improvement project used David Kolb’s Experiential Learning and the Kellogg Foundation’s Logic as an organizational framework. With a global goal, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) proposed a framework for disaster nursing competencies for education of “general” nurses, now considered the “gold standard” of disaster nursing competencies. The program focused on the ICN core competencies of disaster nursing. The educational intervention consisted of a variety of educational opportunities, including a self-study packet, an interactive poster, and group discussions. A Retrospective Preevaluation-Postevaluation (RPPE) survey demonstrated that the program was effective in improving nurses’ overall disaster awareness. Recommendations for advanced practice nurses revolve around designing and implementing disaster preparedness education that is geared toward nurses.
Does Prone Positioning Decrease Mortality Rate in ARDS? A Systematic Review
Authors: Sarkis Joseph
Published: August 2018

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical condition in which the lungs suffer severe irreversible, large-scale damage causing a grievous form of hypoxemic respiratory failure. Acute respiratory distress syndrome is one of the most evasive diagnosis confronted in the Intensive care unit (ICU) as the name, definition and diagnostic standards have adapted over the past four decades. An ARDS diagnosis is established by physiological criteria and continues to be a diagnosis of exclusion, which makes it crucial that medical professionals expand their knowledge base to effectively diagnose ARDS. Patients admitted with ARDS have high mortality rates ranging from 40 to 60 percent. High-level quality supportive care continues to be the sole option for ARDS treatment. Even with improved supportive care, however, ARDS prognosis is still poor. Extended prone positioning (PP) has been shown to increase alveolar recruitment end expiratory lung volume, thereby improving oxygenation and survival. Unfortunately, few studies have examined the association of mortality and prone positioning in ARDS. A systematic review was conducted to examine the following research question: Does prone positioning compared to supine positioning in patients with ARDS decrease mortality rates? This systematic review was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP). A literature review was performed and data were collected from each study. A cross study analysis was performed and PP was found to reduce mortality rate in patients who were severely hypoxic. The reviewed studies demonstrated that incorporating early and longer periods of PP may improve mortality in ARDS patients, but further research is needed.
Increasing the Knowledge of Critical Care Nursing Staff Related to Sepsis: A Program Development Project
Authors: Willard Matthew
Published: August 2018

Sepsis can lead the body into organ failure, tissue damage, amputations, and in severe cases, even death. Yale New Haven Health-Westerly Hospital has several new RN’s that are at a novice level of knowledge about how to treat and care for the septic patient. Knowledge of the signs and symptoms of sepsis can lead to a quicker diagnosis and improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this program development project was to improve the knowledge of sepsis identification and treatment by providing education to the critical care nursing staff at Yale Westerly Hospital.

A non-probability convenience sampling plan was utilized. Fifteen nurses out of a potential twenty nurses completed the pre-test and post-test component. Each participant’s test score from the pre-test in comparison to the post-test improved after the education component of the project was implemented. Pre-test scores encompassing the entire exam, ranged from 35% to 60% and post-testing scores ranged from 65% to 85%. The mean score of the pre-test was 52% and the mean score of the post-test was 78.6%. The mean scores from the pre-test compared to the post-test improved by 26.6%. More experience in the critical care setting did influence the average test scores in both the pre and post-test. APRN’s are in a unique position to enable educational programs and assess educational needs of a certain department. The APRN can deliver education not only for the novice nurses, but for all nurses throughout the experience spectrum.

learning success for all children. It addresses the common goals of
decreasing and overcoming all exclusion from the human right to
education, at least at the elementary level, and enhancing access,
participation, and learning success in quality basic education for
all”.1
Foreign Direct Investment, Exports, and Domestic Output in Pakistan
Authors: Mohsin Hasnain Ahmad  , Shaista Alam  , Mohammad Sabihuddin Butt
Published: August 2018

The impact of the policy reform on economic performance has been one of the stifling issues in development economics in the recent years. Since the middle 1970s, there has been considerable progress in the trade reform in the most developing countries, turning from an import substitution strategy to export-oriented approach. Pakistan also follows export-oriented policies. Pakistan’s trade pattern and trade policy have been moving towards fewer and fewer controls, tariffs rates have come tumbling down. Export-led-growth hypothesis (ELG) suggests that due to positive correlation between export and growth, therefore, export-oriented policies contribute to economic growth. Thus, international trade and development theory suggests that export growth contributes positively to economic growth. On the basis of this framework, most empirical work on the effects of export promoting strategy followed in developing countries evaluated openness with trade. Empirical research about the effect of this liberalisation process has treated export as principal channel for growth. The relationship with exports and growth, grounded in endogenous growth theory, has been tested for Pakistan [Khan (1995); Ahmad, Butt, and Alam (2000) and Akbar (2000)].

Desalting of RO Waste and Drainage Water by Direct Contact Membrane Distillation
Authors: Hassan Asrar Abdullah , Reda Ahmed Khalid Mohammed
Published: August 2018

Direct contact membrane distillation is an effective method for production of fresh water from saline water. In this study two samples were used as feed solutions; the first one was RO waste from Al-Hilla Coca-Cola Factory (TDS= 2382 mg/l) and the other was Haji Ali drainage water (TDS= 4127 mg/l). Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hydrophobic membrane supported with polypropylene (PP) was used as flat sheet form with plate and frame cell. Results proved that membrane distillation is an effective technique to produce fresh water with high quality from brine with low salinity content. With membrane area of 8x8 cm2, the volume of treated water decreased from 34.97 ml at first half hour to 33.02 ml after 180 min of an experiment for first feed type and from 36.92 ml to 33.84 ml for the second feed type due to the fouling accumulated on the membrane surface. The temperature on both sides of the membrane surface and TDS of permeate was measured every 30 min of experiment time, also some tests were made on feed and permeate ions. Time of experiment was 180 min with the same operating conditions.
The usability of OSF: Problems and solutions.
Authors: Butera Camille
Published: August 2018

The goal of this paper is to assess the usability of the OSF website. This assessment is relevant to the first goal of OSF which is to improve openness. OSF’s usability problems hinder an efficient search for open projects and data, and thus hinder the mission of OSF itself. I conducted a heuristic evaluation of OSF. A heuristic evaluation is a method of site evaluation which involves noting cases where the user complies or fails to comply with evidence-based usability principles. Typically, a small set of evaluators conduct the evaluation, but in this case I was the sole evaluator. The set of heuristics to be employed in this paper are from Gerhardt-Powals (1996), which were derived from Molich and Nielsen’s (1990) original heuristics. For this paper I will be focusing on heuristics which relate to the most severe problems. These heuristics are (a) using names conceptually related to function, (b) presenting new information with meaningful aids to interpretation, (c) grouping data in consistently meaningful ways, and (d) automating unwanted workload.

Threat Language: Cognitive Exploitation in Social Engineering
Authors: Handoko Handoko , Putri Dwi Anggreini Waskito
Published: August 2018

A social engineering aims to elicit sensitive information by using various manipulation approach to exploit the victim. The increasing of social communication platform such as email, messenger, facebook, linkedin, researchgate, combined with the social psychology and cognitive linguistics become a new weapon to attack either personal or even institutional targets. This paper explores the language used by the attacker to expose psychological threat to elicit sensitive information and to direct the victim to execute the certain action. The data are taken from emails which contain threat language. This paper illustrates how an attacker uses threat language to perform social engineering. The analysis is based on social engineering attack classification (Mouton, 2016) and cognitive pragmatics (Bara, 2010). The result shows rather than using persuasive approach, the attacker uses the threat to exploit cognitive process in thinking and decision making. Moreover the research also found pattern of a social engineer email: warning, threat, and enhancement.

Published: August 2018

Emotion is a core feature of the human condition, with profound consequences for health, wealth, and wellbeing. Over the past quarter-century, improved methods for manipulating and measuring different features of emotion have yielded steady advances in our scientific understanding emotional states, traits, and disorders. Yet, it is clear that most of the work remains undone. Here, we highlight key challenges facing the field of affective sciences. Addressing these challenges will provide critical opportunities not just for understanding the mind, but also for increasing the impact of the affective sciences on public health and well-being.
Medial temporal lobe amnesia is associated with a deficit in recovering temporal context
Authors: Palombo Daniela , Di Lascio Joseph M. , Howard Marc , Verfaellie Mieke
Published: August 2018

Medial temporal lobe (MTL) lesions are associated with severe impairments in episodic memory. In the framework of the Temporal Context Model (TCM), the hypothesized mechanism for episodic memory is the reinstatement of a prior experienced context (i.e., “jump back in time”), which relies upon the MTL (Howard, Fotedar, Datey, & Hasselmo, 2005). This hypothesis has proven difficult to test in amnesia due to floor-level performance by patients in recall tasks. To circumvent this issue, in the present study we used a “looped-list” format, in which a set of verbal stimuli was presented multiple times in a consistent order. This allowed for comparison of statistical properties such as probability of first recall and lag conditional response probability (lag-CRP) between amnesic patients and healthy controls. Results revealed that the lag-CRP, but not the probability of first recall, is altered in amnesia, suggesting a selective disruption of temporal contiguity. To further characterize the results, we fit a scale-invariant version of TCM (Howard, Shankar, Aue, & Criss, 2015) to the probability of first recall and lag-CRP curves. The modeling results suggested that the deficit in temporal contiguity in amnesia is best described as a failure to recover temporal context.

Authors: Baumann Roberta Maísa , Alves Izabel Almeida
Published: August 2018

Introdução: os antibacterianos estão entre os fármacos mais utilizados na prática clínica e a escolha racional destes deve ser baseada no conhecimento do patógeno a ser tratado, na epidemiologia local e, nas condições do paciente. O farmacêutico exerce um papel fundamental na prevenção do uso inadequado dos antibacterianos, principalmente na prevenção da resistência a esses fármacos. Objetivo: avaliar a farmacoterapia e acompanhar os pacientes com prescrição de antibacterianos durante o tratamento. Materiais e métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo intervencional, descritiva e prospectiva. A amostra foi composta de 8 pacientes com prescrição de antibacterianos, selecionados por conveniência em uma farmácia da cidade de Três Passos-RS. Resultados e Discussão: 37,5% (três) dos pacientes realizaram todo o tratamento conforme a prescrição médica e obtiveram melhora dos sintomas; 12,5% (um) não realizaram todo o tratamento prescrito; 25% (dois) realizaram todo o tratamento e não obtiveram melhora dos sintomas e 25% (dois) houveram prescrições de novos medicamentos pelo médico durante o tratamento. Ainda, em 87,5% (sete) dos casos foi realizado o diagnóstico clínico da infecção. A prescrição de um antibiótico sem uma indicação precisa, além de poder ocasionar o desenvolvimento de resistência, gera a emergência de novos patógenos. Conclusão: O acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico tem-se mostrado cada vez mais importante na correta execução dos tratamentos medicamentosos dos pacientes, principalmente em relação aos antibióticos.

Published: August 2018

O controle das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis é um desafio aos profissionais de saúde, devido à falta de conhecimento do paciente sobre a doença e o seu comportamento frente ao tratamento farmacológico e não farmacológico. Sendo assim o objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar o conhecimento sobre o tratamento e as atitudes de pacientes portadores de hipertensão e diabetes mellitus que frequentam uma farmácia comunitária. O estudo realizado foi quantitativo e transversal e a coleta de dados deu-se através do questionário The Indian Health Service (IHS), com modificações. As questões foram classificadas quanto a “adequada” ou “inadequada” de acordo com o conteúdo da resposta. Outras 3 questões possuíam como opção de resposta “sim” ou “não”. O estudo contou com a participação de 32 indivíduos, com a idade média de 63 anos e sendo 65,6% mulheres. A amostra foi composta por 100% de pacientes hipertensos e 65,6% relataram diabetes mellitus como comorbidade associada. Os medicamentos mais usados foram hidroclortiazida (56,2%), metformina (53,2%) e glibenclamida (37,5%). As questões “Por quanto tempo tomar”, “Que efeitos bons você pode esperar”, “Como sabe se este medicamento está funcionando?” Apresentaram maiores porcentagens de respostas inadequadas. Cerca de 90% dos entrevistados reconhece a importância do farmacêutico e 93,8% consideram a farmácia como estabelecimento de saúde. A orientação farmacêutica foi realizada a cada resposta inadequada emitida pelos entrevistados. Assim, conclui-se que é fundamental a realização da orientação farmacêutica dentro da farmácia comunitária a todos os usuários de medicamentos, principalmente aos portadores de doenças crônicas, pois possui esquemas terapêuticos complexos.

Authors: Guimarães Carine Amabile , Vieira Soares Narciso , Mazureck Carine
Published: August 2018

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar se as atividades do Programa Saúde na Escola (PSE) estão sendo realizadas e qual o impacto destas para saúde do escolar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva de abordagem qualitativa transversal. Participaram do estudo profissionais das ESFs (Estratégia de Saúde da Família) e professores das series inicias de um município de pequeno porte do interior do Estado do RS, no segundo semestre de 2017. Os dados foram coletados mediante entrevista utilizando-se um questionário semiestruturado com perguntas abertas e fechadas, e a analise de dados ocorreu mediante análise do conteúdo das falas.  Entre os resultados foi possível perceber a falta de comunicação entre o setor saúde e educação o que prejudica o desenvolvimento das ações que devem ser realizadas junto as escolas, também a falta de recursos matérias e de capacitação para os profissionais. Considerações Finais: identificou-se a grande relevância que o PSE tem perante os profissionais da saúde e educação, apesar de ainda existir inúmeros impasses para sua execução. Acredita-se então que a aproximação entre a escola e a unidade de saúde é fundamental para a promoção da saúde de crianças, adolescentes e jovens saudáveis e que o PSE é o elo para essa concretização.
