title: Prevalence of otoneurological symptoms in individuals with congenital hypothyroidism: pilot study

description: Abstract Purpose To investigate the frequency of otoneurological symptoms in children with congenital hypothyroidism and correlate them to the clinical aspects. Methods Exploratory study of sectional descriptive character. The sample was composed by parents and/or caregivers of 105 children diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism and age of 5 years or more. Data collection used a structured questionnaire developed and tested by researchers. Clinical and laboratory data were obtained from medical records. Results Most subjects (72.4%) showed symptoms related to vestibulocochlear disorder, in which dizziness/vertigo corresponded to 56.2% of symptoms, followed by hearing loss (43.8%) and tinnitus (12.4%). We observed statistical correlation between hearing loss (p = 0.016) and age of neonatal screening test, as well as symptoms of dizziness/vertigo with congenital hypothyroidism (p = 0.003). For hearing loss (PR = 0.49; CI = 0.31 to 0.77), the exposure factor showed a correlation with the probability of 95%. Conclusion These findings suggest a significant prevalence and association between congenital hypothyroidism and otoneurological symptoms, especially dizziness, hearing loss and tinnitus.

title: Common mental disorders: prevalence and associated factors among community health agents

description: Abstract Introduction The community health agents play an important role in primary health care, forming the link between the community and the family health team. Their daily work can generate stressors that can affect the professionals’ mental health. The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of common mental disorders and possible associated factors among community health agents. Methods Cross-sectional and analytical study conducted in Montes Claros-MG. It was used the Self Reporting Questionnaire and a structured form. The data were processed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows, version 18.0, subjected to descriptive analysis, bivariate analysis and multivariate analysis using Poisson regression with robust variance. Results The prevalence of common mental disorders was 41.6%. The highest was associated to: self-declared race (not white); that already sought religious support; which had a monthly income of less than four minimum salary; those who self-rated their health as bad; among those who said their work had impact on health; among those who made use of calming, tranquilizing or antidepressant; and among those who did not diet. Conclusion We identified a high prevalence of common mental disorders, being influenced by sociodemographic and health factors.

title: Attitudes of mental health workers’ toward mentally ill patients in a small city situated in the Rio de Janeiro state

description: Abstract Introduction As there are few studies about evaluation of attitudes of mental health workers towards individuals with mental disorders in Brazil, especially in small and medium-sized towns. A cross-sectional study was carried out to assess attitudes of mental health professionals working in a small city situated in the Rio de Janeiro State. Methods Data were collected using the Community Attitudes Towards Mentally Ill (CAMI-BR) in a population of mental health professionals working in Carmo in November 2015. The CAMI consists of four subscales: Authoritarianism, Benevolence, Social Restrictiveness and Community Mental Health Ideology. Results Most workers presented positive attitudes towards psychiatric patients. The subscale with the highest score was Benevolence followed by Community Ideology, while Social Restriction and Authoritarianism obtained the lowest scores. The following individual characteristics were associated with positive attitudes: age group, professional category and educational level, being the youngest people with higher level education showing more positive attitudes. The caregivers presented more negative attitudes when compared to the other categories. Conclusion Although there are still some authoritarian professionals` attitudes in the care of psychiatric patients in Carmo, these workers have positive attitudes related to the treatment of people with mental disorders and their inclusion in the community, which strengthens the implementation of psychiatric care reforms in the town.

title: Concepts of violence prevention programs and promotion of culture of peace

description: Abstract Introduction This article aims to analyze violence prevention programs in order to identify the conceptions that guide their development and their relation with the promotion of culture of peace. Method This is a qualitative study anchored in the theoretical and methodological reference of the critical discourse analysis. Online documents related to seven programs of violence prevention and promotion of culture of peace in Belo Horizonte - Minas Gerais, were considered for analysis. Results The analysis allowed identifying a chain of expressions on the goals of the programs that reveal ideological aspects of public policies whose purpose is to reduce incidences of events related to violence. The speech of promoting culture as a paradigm shift and the enjoyment among people appears in some programs. Reinforcement of a culture of respect for human rights and citizenship is presented on the proposals. Regarding the target audience of the programs, there is a focus on segments characterized by younger age groups, lower level of education and residence in areas of high social vulnerability. Conclusion Although the implementation of prevention programs is relevant, there are still underlying challenges to the ideological, political and practical perspective of building a culture of peace.

title: Evolution of quality of information in death certificates mentioning congenital syphilis in perinatal deaths in Brazil

description: Abstract Objective Evaluate the quality of information in death certificates (DC) mentioning congenital syphilis (CS) in perinatal deaths in Brazil (2001/02 and 2012/13). Methods Crossectional study with data from the Mortality Information System about fetal and early neonates. Fetal, early neonatal and perinatal mortality rates specific by CS, percentage of incompleteness by selected variables, underlying causes and multiple causes of death ratio (CB/CM), and other indicators were calculated. The original underlying cause was compared to the underlying cause after investigation. Results In 2001/02 and 2012/13, 330 and 933 perinatal deaths, respectively, with CS occurred; perinatal mortality rate increased from 4.2 to 12.8 per 100.000 total births. The completion of the main required fields has improved. The CB/CM ratio was 0.8 for CS, indicating adequate registration of this cause, with use of multiple causes. CS percentage as the underlying cause increased post-investigation, from 31.2% to 85.4% (fetal deaths) and from 54.5% to 76.2% (early neonates). Conclusion perinatal mortality rate due to CS increased over the study period. There was improvement in the completion of the DC. The use of multiple causes of death allowed the analysis of all perinatal deaths with CS mention, which is important given efforts in reducing CS.

title: Evaluative Matrix of Longitudinal Bond in Primary Health Care: validation process held by specialists

description: Abstract Introduction The present study aimed to perform the construct and content validation of the evaluative matrix of longitudinal bond in Primary Health Care. Longitudinal bond is related to positive results of health care and is representative of structuring characteristics of Primary Care in the Unified Health System (SUS). Methodology The validation was held in two stages: on the first stage, the research crew discussed the structuring concepts of the matrix and revised the criteria, indicators and questions; on the second stage, using the Delphi method as a reference, specialists were consulted to analyze and judge the items of the matrix in a conference via web and at a Consensus Workshop. Results Adjustments were made in the first stage and the number of items in the matrix was significantly reduced. In the second stage, specialists agreed on the adjustments made on the format of the matrix, and new items to better represent the model adopted by the SUS were inserted. Conclusion The evaluation improved the matrix, making it more robust in terms of the representativity of the attribute, contributing for its applicability as an evaluative instrument of Primary Health Care in the SUS.
