Authors: Andelin Lauren , Reynolds Stacey , Schoen Sarah 
Published: November 2021

Importance: Occupational therapy using an Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) approach is a common intervention that has not been extensively studied in children with idiopathic sensory processing and integration challenges (e.g., without a diagnosis of autism).
Objective: To test the effectiveness of ASI using measures related to motor coordination and functional performance in children with a sensory-based motor disorder (SBMD).
Design: Nonconcurrent, multiple baseline, single subject.
Setting: Outpatient clinic that was part of a children’s hospital in an urban setting.
Participants: Three boys (ages 5–8 yr) with an SBMD.
Intervention: Each participant received ASI 3 times per week for 10 wk.
Outcomes and Measures: Three motor probes were measured weekly. Pre- and posttest assessments included goal attainment scaling (GAS) and the Bruininks–Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency–Second Edition (BOT–2).
Results: All 3 participants showed improvements in motor probes during the intervention period on the basis of a 2 SD band method of analysis. Statistically significant improvements were noted across GAS goals, and positive changes were found on the BOT–2, with large effect sizes.
Conclusions and Relevance: Findings suggest improved motor performance and high goal achievement using ASI for children with idiopathic sensory processing and integration challenges.
What This Article Adds: This study adds to a body of literature suggesting that ASI is effective in increasing functional performance in children with sensory processing and integration challenges. Future studies using multiple baseline designs are feasible in the clinic setting and can help build the evidence base for ASI.

Published: November 2021

Over the past 50 years, decision-makers, laypersons, scientific communities, and design professions have repeatedly warned of the impending climate crisis caused by overdependence on fossil fuels. The environmental prophets have admonished that mother earth is on the brink of catastrophe. In response, scientific wizards have boasted that technocratic solutions will save the day. The evidence clearly indicates that a drastic change in policies, lifestyle, and consumption habits is necessary if there is to be a livable world for future generations. Urbanism is the most efficient form of habitation. Embracing and legislating for the traditional pattern of urbanism which is supported by Wi-Fi technology is the livable and sustainable prescription to address climate change and the global dependence on fossil fuels.

Authors: Souza Mariana Antunes Carvalho de , Silva Maria Aparecida Xavier Moreira da 
Published: November 2021

A Síndrome Hipertensiva Específica da Gestação (SHEG) se caracteriza como um distúrbio que promove intensas alterações fisiológicas na gestante podendo ocasionar a morte da mãe e do bebê. Esse estudo traz como objetivo principal descrever o papel do enfermeiro na elaboração da Sistematização da Assistência de Enfermagem e do Processo de Enfermagem para paciente gestante com pré-eclâmpsia e/ou eclâmpsia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão integrativa da literatura que foi realizada no período entre março à outubro de 2021. A amostra foi composta por 33 publicações. Os resultados apontam que as gestantes em pré-eclâmpsia e/ou eclâmpsia apresentam como necessidades de assistência de enfermagem as necessidades psicobiológicas, psicossociais e psicoespirituais. Mediante essas necessidades foram identificados os seguintes diagnósticos de enfermagem para atendimento dessas gestantes: Risco de função cardiovascular prejudicada, Risco de binômio mãe-feto perturbado, Risco de infecção, Risco de sangramento, Conforto prejudicado, Ansiedade, Dor aguda e Náusea. A pesquisa evidenciou que gestantes com eclâmpsia e/ou pré-eclâmpsia correm um grande risco de vir a óbito, não somente elas como também seus bebês. O papel do enfermeiro na aplicabilidade da SAE é de suma importância e que, quando realizada de forma adequada, a SAE permite ao enfermeiro a identificação precoce de riscos ou alterações que esta gestante esteja sofrendo, com indício de pré-eclâmpsia ou eclâmpsia, na qual pode se ter um desfecho favorável, evitando a ocorrência de óbito materno-fetal. Desta forma, a SAE pode instrumentalizar o enfermeiro para uma abordagem assistencial, direcionando cuidados específicos para essas pacientes, evitando-se resultados negativos.
