Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT The use of dwarf lines to obtain mini-tomato hybrids has provided agronomic and economic benefits. In Brazil, round tomatoes predominate over other varieties. The benefits of using a dwarf parent in round tomato hybrids has yet to be explored, making it important to develop dwarf round tomato lines. Backcrossing is the most suitable method to develop these lines. Evaluation and selection of the dwarf populations can improve the development of such lines. Thus, the aim of this study was to select BC1F2 populations of dwarf round tomatoes with agronomic potential and high-quality fruit. The study was conducted at the Vegetable Experimental Station of the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). A randomized block design was used, with 15 treatments and three replicates. The genetic material analyzed consisted of 12 BC1F2 dwarf tomato populations, plus both parents (recurrent and donor) and a commercial hybrid. The characteristics assessed were: average fruit weight (g), total soluble solids (ºBrix), number of locules (locules per fruit-1), fruit shape, pulp thickness (cm), longitudinal (cm) and transverse fruit diameter (cm), internode length (cm) and plant height (cm). The data were submitted to mean testing, multivariate analyses and a selection index. In general, average fruit weight in the dwarf populations increased significantly after the first backcross, with some fruits exhibiting a similar shape to round tomatoes. Selection of the populations UFU-DTOM7, UFU-DTOM10, UFU-DTOM5, UFU-DTOM9, and UFU-DTOM3 resulted in an estimated 6% increase in the number of locules, transverse diameter, TD/LD ratio and average fruit weight. The BC1F2 dwarf populations UFU-DTOM7 and UFU-DTOM10 were the most promising for develop inbred lines with round fruits. Despite the considerable progress achieved in this study, we suggest a second backcross, in order to obtain lines and, posteriorly, hybrids with round fruits and compact plants.

ABSTRACT Zinc (Zn) is one of the most deficient plant micronutrients in agricultural crops. The objective of this study was to evaluate plant nutrition, grain yield and nutrient export rate in response to soil and foliar Zn fertilization in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Two field experiments in no-till system were carried out using two common bean cultivars, BRS Esteio (black bean) and IPR Campos Gerais (Carioca bean). Treatments were composed of soil Zn application during sowing and foliar Zn spray at flowering stage. Soil Zn application had effect on leaf Zn concentration in IPR Campos Gerais and did not affect grain yield of both cultivars. Foliar Zn spray increased leaf Zn concentration by approximately two times in both cultivars, but negatively affected the grain yield in BRS Esteio. Leaf concentration of N, Ca and S were affected by soil Zn application and leaf concentration of Mn was affected by foliar Zn spray, while leaf concentration of P, K, Mg, Cu and Fe were not influenced by the soil and foliar Zn treatments. In treatments without Zn, the descending order of nutrient export rate from the experimental site was as follows: N > K > P > Ca ≈ S > Mg for macronutrients and Fe > Mn > Cu > Zn for micronutrients. Foliar Zn spray increased the export rate of Zn, P, Ca, Mg, S, Mn, Cu and Fe in IPR Campos Gerais, while soil Zn application resulted in higher export rate of P, K and Mn in BRS Esteio.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT The use of sewage sludge as a source of nutrients and organic matter for agricultural soils is a well-established practice. However, few reports highlight the effect of the nutrients and potentially toxic elements provided by organic wastes application on the plant physiological parameters, such as photosynthetic activity and stomatal conductivity. We performed a greenhouse experiment with maize exposed to a dystrophic red Latosol amended with mineral fertilizer and different rates of sewage sludge with the following objectives: i) assess the nutrients and metal uptake translocation and distribution in plants and ii) evaluate the relationship between plant physiological parameters and yield indicators under the study conditions. The application of sewage sludge increased the soil organic matter, pH, and the amounts of available Ca, S, and Mg, comparing to the mineral fertilizer treatment. The plants promote a higher translocation of macronutrients to the shoots in the sewage sludge treatments, which results in higher photosynthetic activity, stomatal conductivity, and maize yield parameters. Moreover, the trace elements, which can cause toxicity in small concentrations, were founded mainly in the roots, which indicates a plant defense mechanism.

Resumo Introdução O letramento funcional em saúde (LFS) diz respeito à habilidade dos indivíduos em compreender as informações relacionadas à saúde e está relacionado a diversos desfechos de saúde. Objetivo Investigar a associação do LFS com fatores sociodemográficos, apoio social, autoavaliação do estado de saúde e perfil de acesso aos serviços de saúde em mulheres assistidas pela Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF). Método Estudo transversal, conduzido em 2015-2016, em duas Unidades de Atenção Primária à Saúde cobertas pela ESF, de um município da região Sudeste do Brasil. A amostra foi composta por 439 mulheres, entre 25 e 64 anos. O LFS foi avaliado por meio do Brief Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (B-TOFHLA). Efetuaram-se cálculos da razão de prevalência (RP). Posteriormente, construiu-se um modelo de regressão de Poisson de variância robusta, sendo admitida significância estatística quando p ≤0,05. Resultados Foi constatado que 53,5% das mulheres apresentaram um baixo LFS, o qual associou-se à idade superior aos 40 anos (RP = 1,18; IC 95%: 1,07-1,31), ao grau de instrução inferior ao ensino médio completo (RP = 1,26; IC 95%: 1,15-1,38), à baixa renda (RP = 1,13; IC 95%: 1,04-1,23) e à autodeclaração da cor parda ou preta (RP= 1,06; IC 95%: 1,01-1,12). Conclusão Os resultados acentuaram a importância do LFS como estratégia para a abordagem de populações com maior vulnerabilidade socioeconômica.

Published: April 2020

Resumo Introdução As monoculturas agrícolas são relacionadas ao uso de agrotóxicos, que poluem o ambiente e as pessoas, de regiões agrícolas. No nordeste do estado de Mato Grosso, a Terra Indígena (TI) Marãiwatsédé, território da etnia Xavante foi ocupada na década de 1950 por não-indígenas e teve seu ambiente modificado pela agropecuária até a desintrusão em 2012. Quando os Xavante retornaram para seu território, uma denúncia de óbitos infantis por suspeita de poluição da água por agrotóxicos motivou este estudo. Objetivo Verificar resíduos de agrotóxicos na água e discutir a dinâmica de inserção da agropecuária na TI e região. Método Foi quantificada a área plantada, o consumo de agrotóxicos, análises químicas na água e caracterizado o ambiente da TI e entorno. Resultados A área plantada e o consumo de agrotóxicos da região da TI aumentou anualmente. Foi detectado resíduo de 0,19 μg/L de permetrina na água. Havia lavouras em atividade nos limites da TI. Conclusão Este valor está abaixo do Valor Máximo Permitido pela legislação brasileira, mas no limite da legislação europeia. No entanto, a presença de lavouras em atividade nos limites da TI são fontes constantes de emissão de agrotóxicos, possibilitando novas poluições de “fora para dentro” da TI.

Abstract Background Changes in eating habits may be associated with sedentary behaviors by favoring excessive weight gain among adolescents, and consequently leading to the occurrence of chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD). Objective To evaluate the association between screen time and consumption of healthy and unhealthy food markers in adolescents. Method A longitudinal study with adolescents aged from 10-16 years of public schools in Niterói, in the state of Rio de Janeiro/Brazil was performed in 2014. It was applied a questionnaire about screen time, food consumption frequency and socio-demographic variables. Generalized linear models were applied with p-value <0.05. Results 448 students participated in the study, 54.8% were male, and 67% were in the category of ≥5 hours/day of total screen time and 69% in the ≤4 hours/day of television time (TV time). It was not observed an association between total screen time and food intake variations. However, an inverse association was observed between TV time and vegetable consumption (p-value = 0.02). Conclusion It was not observed an association between total screen time and food intake variations. Nevertheless, it was verified that time spent watching television was associated with consumption of vegetables. Thus, it is suggested that the reduction of the time spent in sedentary activities and healthy food choices are priorities in the elaboration of public policies.

ABSTRACT: Enterococcus are recognized worldwide as significant nosocomial agents that have been continuously envolving to adapt to different niches and acquire resistance to several antibiotic classes. Vancomycin and gentamicin-resistant strains of E. faecalis and E. faecium have been associated with nosocomial human infections. Some epidemiological studies suggest the participation of pets as reservoirs of vancomycin and gentamicin-resistant Enterococcus strains. However, the role of companion birds as reservoirs of these strains has been poorly studied. In this study, 126 psittacine birds were evaluated and 26.9% carried Enterococcus spp., including the species E. faecalis, E. faecium, E. hirae, E. phoeniculicola, E. gallinarum and E. casseliflavus. The antibiotic resistance profile showed four high-level gentamicin-resistance (HLGR) strains. In addition, two strains presented intermediate levels of vancomycin resistance. Resistant strains were isolated from fecal and oropharynx samples of sick and clinically healthy birds, suggesting that psittacine birds may act as reservoirs of HLGR Enterococcus spp. However, sick birds appear to be more implicated in the enterococci transmission than healthy birds.

ABSTRACT: The genus Mycoplasma includes more than 200 bacterial species that cause disease in animals. It is responsible for causing mastitis in bovines and may be related to other manifestations, such as arthritis and pneumonia in calves and heifers. The present study aimed to detect Mycoplasma bovis isolated from milk samples of bovine clinical mastitis, and to compare the isolation rates in two culture media: Hayflick and SP4. An initial screening was performed in order to detect the presence of the class Mollicutes in 1166 milk samples from clinical mastitis by the conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. According to the 1166 milk samples evaluated, 8.6% (100/1166) were positive to class Mollicutes. Regarding molecular analyses, 1.1% (13/1166) of conventional PCR for positive M. bovis was obtained and 0.9% (11/1166) in real-time PCR. The results of the microbiological culture of the 100 samples previously screened demonstrated that 6% (6/100) of colony growth have been developed when using the Hayflick medium, and 11% (11/100) when using the SP4 medium (including the positive on Hayflick medium). Concerning the 11 isolates obtained in the microbiological culture, conventional PCR confirmed M. bovis in nine of them, and two cultures were negative. In the phylogenetic analysis of the isolates, all of them were grouped in M. bovis and M. agalactiae clusters. The results confirmed the importance of the presence of M. bovis in the etiology of bovine clinical mastitis and reinforced the need for further studies to elucidate other Mycoplasma species that may be involved in bovine clinical mastitis in Brazil.

ABSTRACT: Dietary chromium supplementation before, during, and after weaning was conducted to evaluate the hypothesis that chromium supplementation could reduce weaning-induced cortisol release in beef calves. We examined the effects of chromium supplementation in 150 crossbred calves (male and female) between five and six months of age. The calves were randomly divided by sex and breed into two equal homogeneous groups (n=75). One group was used as the control, and the other experimental group received supplementation with 0.9mg of chromium carbon-amino-phospho-chelate per 100kg BW. The chromium supplement was mixed with mineral salt for the consumption of 0.1% of BW, and the supplement was administered via creep feeding 60 days before and 60 days after forced weaning. Calves were weighed, and their blood and urine samples were obtained at four time-points: T0 (60 days before weaning), T1 (at weaning), T2 (48 hours after weaning), and T3 (60 days after weaning). Blood samples were used to determine chromium, cortisol, total protein, and albumin concentrations, and urine samples were used to determine urinary creatinine and chromium levels. Cumulative weight gain was higher in calves supplemented with chromium before weaning and during the experiment (P<0.05). In addition, weaning-related stress caused an increase in chromium excretion in the urine, and chromium supplementation reduced stress, which resulted in lower cortisol and total protein levels during weaning.

ABSTRACT: Inadequate exposure of the female reproductive system to steroids in uterine developmental periods can partially inhibit the development of endometrial glands in dogs. However, the effects of steroids on the formed glands functionality remain unknown, as well as the possible occurrence of endometrial fibrosis. This study aimed to evaluate the secretory activity of endometrial glands in prebubertal female dogs submitted to a protocol of partial ablation of the uterine adenogenesis. Sixteen females of non-specific breed were distributed into two groups; MPA (n=8), females that received applications of medroxyprogesterone acetate every 3 weeks; and C (n=8) untreated control females. Ovariohysterectomy was performed in all animals at the age of 6 months and evaluated the uterine horns by histological and histochemistry exams. The secretion intensity (degrees 1-4) was evaluated using periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and alcian blue (AB) pH 2.5. Histological evaluation was performed using Masson’s trichrome and toluidine blue. Only degree 1 and 2 marks for PAS were observed in both groups, with no difference of uterine secretion intensity between the groups regarding the degrees found. However, the MPA group revealed higher intensity of uterine secretion compared to group C (p<0.05). Staining with AB pH 2.5 also revealed only degree 1 and 2 marks in both groups, with no statistically significance between them. Masson’s trichrome staining revealed no marks in the periglandular region in both groups. A higher among of mast cells was observed in the myometrial region of the uterus in both groups. Prepubertal female dogs with partial ablation of the uterine adenogenesis present minimal uterine secretory activity, absence of periglandular fibrosis and increased presence of mast cells in the myometrium compared to endometrium.

ABSTRACT: Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) is an infectious and zoonotic disease with socioeconomic importance, responsible for economic losses in livestock due to the decrease in animal productivity, mortality, bovine carcass condemnation and restriction on exportations. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the epidemiological aspects of this disease through a descriptive analysis and time series of cases of bovine tuberculosis diagnosed at the Laboratório Regional de Diagnóstico (LRD) of the Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária, Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel) from 2000 to 2015. A survey was carried out in the LRD database of cases diagnosed as tuberculosis in cattle during this period. The incidence rate of BTB ([cases/population] x 100000) was calculated. Qualitative variables (sex, age, race, origin, type of material and presumptive diagnosis) were analyzed in a descriptive way, aiming to establish the profile of affected animals, characterize the municipalities in which the disease is originated and also fix the main referral organs for diagnosis. The time series analysis was performed using the Gretl statistical software 1.9.12 (GNU Regression, Econometric and Time-series Library). To verify the existence of the stationary distribution, the test of Dickey-Fuller was used, considering a value of p<0.05. During this period, 331 cases of BTB were diagnosed in the LRD. The present study identified that the predominant profile of the bovines affected by tuberculosis was female bovine aged more than two years old and crossbreed; the main organ sent for histopathological examination was lymph nodes. The microregion of Pelotas presented the highest incidence of the disease. There was also a tendency of a decrease in the incidence rate of this disease over the years, absence of seasonal influence in the occurrence of the disease and no cases of epidemics occurred from 2002 to 2015 in the area covered by the LRD-UFPel.

ABSTRACT: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have paradoxical hemostatic potential because they have bleeding episodes but are also prone to thrombosis. Few studies have evaluated blood viscoelastic properties in dogs with kidney disease; on the other hand, hypercoagulability has been observed in these patients. It is also emphasized that the platelet function and its participation in this process have not yet been fully understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the Thrombin Generation Test (TGT) and also viscoelastic properties of the blood measured by thromboelastometry (TEM) in dogs with proteinuria in CKD. Twenty healthy dogs (Control Group) and 19 dogs with CKD in stage III or IV, classified according to International Renal Interest Society - IRIS, were selected, and the reference test of urine protein:creatinine ratio (UPCR) should be greater than one (CKD group). Blood samples for TEM, thrombin generation, Prothrombin Time (PT), activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), and fibrinogen concentration was collected at a single time for both groups after inclusion criteria being confirmed. Statistical analysis was performed according to the distribution of variables at 5% significance level. Differences were observed between healthy dogs and those with proteinuria in CKD noted in TEM. The TGT was unable to differentiate between sick and healthy groups. However, when the nephropathy was stratified, increases in TTP and peak thrombin concentration by TGT were observed in females and dogs over 30 days of diagnosis of CKD. Both tests signaled a discrete state of hypercoagulability. In fact, TEM is more sensitive to detect hypercoagulability in dogs with CKD. However, the TGT has potential clinical application by allowing long-term sample storage.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the narrative of users about the assistance received by the professionals of the Mais Médicos (More Doctors) Program. Method: qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, comprehensive research carried out from August to December 2015. 16 interviews were carried out in four Basic Health Units that hired doctors who spoke the Spanish language. Systematic observation was performed with 30 hours of registration, and the respondents answered a socio-demographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The analysis followed the triangulation of data from participant observation, interviews and the theoretical framework, using thematic analysis in the light of dialectical hermeneutics. Three operational categories have been developed: Quality and welcoming in consultation, Doctor-patient communication and foreign Doctor Results: the interviewees stated that making an appointment for a medical appointment, unlike before, became possible and less time consuming with the arrival of new doctors. The interviewees were satisfied with the medical care received, highlighting the quality of care. Conclusion: the medical reception received at the consultation, and the prescribed medications, seem to have a greater weight for the perception of the quality of the consultation, and to be more important for users than the understanding of the foreign language and the doctor's language. The low structural and operational competence of Primary Care remains the limit for the Mais Médicos Program.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the association between sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment factors in the outcome of severe radiodermatitis in patients with head and neck cancer seen at the nursing consultation; and to analyze the impact of severe radiodermatitis cases on therapeutic follow-up. Method: A quantitative, documentary research conducted with medical records of 167 patients with head and neck cancer submitted to radiotherapy with curative indication followed in the nursing consultation in 2016. A structured form was used for data collection and analytical and descriptive statistics were used for its analysis. Results: Of the 99.4% patients who had radiodermatitis, 11.4% were severe cases. Severe radiodermatitis was associated with the type of equipment, treatment technique and presence of comorbidities. Of the patients who presented grade three, 53% had temporary discontinuation of treatment. Conclusion: Head and neck cancer patients who undergo radiotherapy with curative indication are at risk for severe radiodermatitis. Nursing consultation is important to minimize the severity of this event and the reduction of temporary treatment interruption due to this adverse reaction.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand how the meanings attributed to work by professionals of the Family Health Strategy are linked to the mechanisms of risk and protection, influencing resilience. Method: a qualitative case study, conducted with professionals of the Family Health Strategy. 62 professionals participated: 14 doctors, 16 nurses, 16 nursing technicians and 16 community health agents. The data collected through interviews which were guided by semi-structured script and observation were submitted to thematic content analysis and Atlas.ti Software, version 7. Results: adversities in the work environment emerged from the analysis such as work overload, lack of articulation between health network services, insufficient autonomy and recognition and inadequate working conditions. Such experiences imply risks to the meanings and the development of work, limiting more resolute actions in the care of the population. Mechanisms that provide protection against risks were also highlighted, strengthening the positive meanings given to work that favor resilience. Conclusion: the study made it possible to understand how the meanings attributed to work are linked to risk and protection mechanisms, influencing resilience processes. Such reflections can support strategies to reduce adversity in the work environment, stimulate the professionals' potentialities and positive senses about work, aiming at reaching a healthy work environment, which affect the care actions to the population.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to report the main speech-language disorders in a patient with CADASIL diagnosis, attending the Speech Therapy School Clinic of a Higher Education Institution from 2008 to 2013. Clinical evaluation of the speech organs was carried out, verifying reduced mobility and tonus of lips, tongue and cheeks, with major repercussions on deglutition in the last two years of care. Multiple swallowing were observed for pasty consistency, and coughing, for the liquid one, with "wet" vocal quality and cervical auscultation without alterations, after multiple swallowing. A hoarse vocal quality with asthenia, weak loudness, hypernasal resonance and imprecise articulation were observed regarding the patient’s voice. The speech therapy aimed at maintaining food intake and communication, improving the patient’s quality of life.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the meanings built by the nursing team regarding communication at shift handover in intensive care units. Method: A qualitative study, grounded on the theoretical framework of Berlo, was developed in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Rio de Janeiro with the nursing team participating in the handover process or working with patient care. Observation and interviews were conducted, with a thorough description of the data and thematic content analysis. Results: There is acknowledgment of the meaning of handover in nursing care, which is expressed in behaviors aimed at avoiding inefficacy or the incorrect perception of communication; on the other hand, there is little participation of nursing technicians, with side talks, lack of attention and incomplete information, which compromises their effectiveness. Conclusion: Professionals should understand their role in the communication process by playing it with active participation to reduce handover noises.

ABSTRACT Objective: To know the spiritual care practices of health workers in the context of an inpatient unit for the treatment of addictive disorders, aiming to incorporate an expanded care practice. Method: Qualitative study considering the Convergent Care Research theoretical framework. The data collection occurred using semi-structured interviews, with three rounds of conversations and informal chats with 14 health professionals, from July to November 2017. The analysis followed the steps of apprehension, synthesis, theorization and transference. Results: Four categories emerged: respect for user ethical values; addressing the beliefs and values of professionals; the health professional-user relationship; and collective spiritual care. The main actions highlighted were individual (relaxation and prayer) and collective (meditation, spirituality and the 12 steps).

ABSTRACT Aim: To compare the domains of the Multidimensional Model of Successful Aging (MMSA) with the nursing terminologies, such as, NANDA International (NANDA-I), Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), in order to find similarities among them. Method: Cross-mapping between MMSA and nursing terminologies in two stages: individual analysis and comparison between the MMSA and the nursing terminologies, based on the mapping process rules; consensus among researchers to validate the results. Results: All NOC and NIC domains were mapped with similarity in the MMSA domains, and 12 of the 13 NANDA-I domains showed similarity to the MMSA domains. In addition, similarity was identified between MMSA and most classes of the three classifications. Conclusions: The similarity between MMSA, NANDA-I, NIC and NOC supported the idea that the MMSA framework can be used in the nursing process to qualify the nursing practice in the elderly care.

ABSTRACT Objective: To develop a spiritual care model for patients and their relatives in illness. Methodology: A qualitative study that uses Symbolic Interactionism as theoretical framework, and the Grounded Theory designed by Charmaz as methodological framework. Semi-structured interviews were performed with 10 participants, and the Model was validated by an expertise group, from march to may 2016, at a University Hospital in the South of Brazil. When analyzing the data, the following codifications were made: initial, focalized, axial and theoretical. Results: The categories that structured the Model were the following: Situating spirituality in their daily lives; Exercising spirituality in life; Perceiving the role of the nursing team in spiritual care; Identifying the manifestations of spiritual needs; Placing spirituality as a priority in care and Re- signifying the illness process. Conclusion: Developing the model has enabled us to achieve a conceptual understanding and interpretation of spiritual care in nursing and to draw up the connections among the nursing team, the patients and their relatives.

Resumo Objetivo Refletir sobre os argumentos que ampliam a compreensão da atuação do enfermeiro, considerando a prática colaborativa e buscando possíveis nexos entre os elementos substantivos da assistência em enfermagem e a prática colaborativa interprofissional. Método Estudo teórico-reflexivo, baseado nos aspectos da assistência em enfermagem. Resultados Elementos que corroboraram a prática autônoma e a colaborativa foram identificados na nova estrutura diagnóstica proposta pela NANDA-I e nas intervenções da Classificação das Intervenções de Enfermagem. Essa discussão categorizou três pontos teóricos reflexivos: Prática Colaborativa Interprofissional: Convergência de Olhares; Diagnósticos de Enfermagem: Autonomia e Pontos de Interseção; e Intervenções de Enfermagem: Autonomia e Pontos de Interseção. Conclusão e implicação para a prática A discussão da prática do enfermeiro, considerando o assistir e o fazer colaborativo, permite compreender o que lhe é próprio e particular à enfermagem, mas tal prática dialoga com outros saberes, fazendo nexo com as discussões que desafiam a atuação interprofissional em saúde.

RESUMO Objetivo analisar como as mulheres encarceradas percebem a sua assistência à saúde utilizando a Teoria das Necessidades Humanas Básicas de Wanda de Aguiar Horta. Método estudo descritivo e exploratório com utilização do método qualitativo, realizado com oito mulheres que responderam a uma entrevista semiestruturada. O material resultante das entrevistas foi interpretado de acordo com a análise de conteúdo de Bardin e fundamentado na Teoria das necessidades humanas básicas de Wanda Horta. Resultados emergiram duas categorias temáticas: necessidades humanas básicas prejudicadas e o que pensam as mulheres em relação a assistência à saúde? Observou-se o não atendimento às necessidades psicobiológicas e psicossociais, através dos relatos de ambiente insalubre, número excessivo de mulheres na cela, doenças apresentadas e ineficiência quanto a assistência à saúde. Conclusões e implicações para a prática devem ser levados em consideração, além da segurança, melhorias nas condições de confinamento e acesso à assistência em saúde, para que as necessidades humanas básicas sejam atendidas. O estudo contribui para a reflexão acerca da assistência à saúde das mulheres encarceradas, dando visibilidade à temática.
