title: Exposure to difluobenzuron: methemoglobin assessment after work shift of guards endemics operating in the region Rio de Janeiro

description: Currently, the substance used to combat the dengue vector is diflubenzuron, a larvicide which produces methemoglobin (MHb) in humans. During his working process, applicators may be exposed to this substance at different levels, which depend on the care they adopt in handling and application. Knowing the profile of workers is important to characterize the population and assess the risks they face. The determination of the percentage of MHb in the blood allows to establish a relationship with exposure to diflubenzuron, being used as an indicator of effect. The objective of this study was to evaluate the extent to which these factors can affect the exposure of active endemic guards in two municipalities of the State of Rio de Janeiro contributed to a better understanding of the issues arising from this work process. It was observed that most workers did not use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and worked in unsafe working conditions and without proper training. Was observed a large difference in knowledge of the risks arising from the work they perform in the two counties, showing weaknesses in the basic training of these professionals. There was a reduction of about 0.05% of the MHb concentration after exposure to diflubenzuron, with an inverse correlation between this indicator variable effect with smoking (R= -0.742; p=0.035). Since MHb can be formed after exposure to various chemicals and considering the logistical difficulties in implementing this analysis, studies on new more sensitive and selective biomarkers are needed.

title: Epidemiologic suicide profile in microregion of Barbacena from 1997 until 2012

description: The aim of this study was to describe the suicide mortality in a region of Minas Gerais, from 1997 until 2012. Data were obtained from the Mortality Information System of the Ministry of Health and analyzed according to variables such as gender, age, race, marital status and method employed. The simple linear regression model was used to verify the trend of deaths in that period. During the study period, 241 deaths by suicide occurred in the microregion, which corresponded to an average rate of 6.9 deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants. The results pointed to a predominance of deaths in: males; whites; individuals aged 30-39 years; unmarried. The most common method was hanging. It was observed an increasing trend in mortality rates from suicide. More studies should be conducted in the region seeking to identify the factors associated with suicide and, mostly, critically analyze the functioning of the health care system.

title: Human rabies transmitted by dogs in the Maranhão State: an evaluation of basic guidelines for disposal of the disease

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the basic guidelines of the program for the elimination of dog-transmitted human rabies (DTHR) in Maranhão. The study was a cross-sectional one and involved a normative assessment of municipalities with DTHR cases in the State of Maranhão. The primary and secondary data related to five municipalities in which cases of DTHR were reported between 2006 and 2010. Guidelines related to the following areas were investigated: (a) training of health professionals; (b) community-oriented health education; (c) post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP); and (d) mass vaccination of dogs. Many of the professionals had never had training on DTHR or had only had training many years ago. More than 70% of the people interviewed had never received any instructions about the disease, and almost 100% did not know what to do if attacked by a dog. PEP measures were found to be deficient, and irregularities were observed in cold chains. Vaccination coverage of animals was greater than 80% in all municipalities except one. Our findings show that basic guidelines for elimination of DTHR in Maranhão are not being followed and that new human cases may occur in the state as a result.

title: Stillbirths from the perspective of preventable deaths: a preliminary analysis for the city of Belo Horizonte

description: Objectives: To analyze, based on the Brazilian List of Preventable Causes (in Portuguese, LBE), the fetal mortality from 2008 to 2010 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: We used data from the Mortality Information System (SIM). Fetus weight and fetal death causes variables were used. The database had 1,685 fetal deaths in Belo Horizonte from 2008 to 2010; 316 deaths that were not in agreement with the fetal death definition were excluded. After the exclusion, fetal deaths whose weight was less than 1,500 g were classified according to LBE. SPPS version 12 was used for statistical analysis. Results: Among 1,369 stillbirths, 823 deaths were excluded (less than 1,500 g), and 546 potentially avoidable deaths remained for analysis. Among those, 62.1% were avoidable. Conclusion: A high proportion of preventable deaths indicates that there is a need for improved prenatal care and childbirth.

title: Burnout predictors in health professionals of primary care of Porto Alegre/RS, Brazil

description: Burnout syndrome (BS) consists in a response to chronic labor problems that becomes from physical and mental illnesses of worker and it may result in absence from work. Health professionals would be a vulnerable category of BS due to the characteristics of care work and management models. An observational analytic cross section was conducted with 217 workers from two primary health districts of Porto Alegre/RS, Brazil, to determine the prevalence and predictors of BS. It was used: demographic and labor questionnaire, SBI (which assesses BS Profile 1 and BS Profile 2) and SRQ - 20 (which assesses common mental disorders - CMD). Data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis and simple/multiple linear regression. The results indicated that 18% of professionals present BS profile 1 and 11%, profile 2. Predictors for BS profile 1 were: CMD, fatigue, length of employment, having children, only work, living in Porto Alegre and work at an ordinary primary healthcare unit. For BS profile 2 were similiar, except for the variables: city and kind of local place. The high prevalence of BS in the sample shows the need of institutions of primary healthcare to conduct prevention and promotion health projects among their own workers.

title: Stress in mothers and caregivers of children and adolescents with asthma: study of the frequency of stress and stressors

description: The objective of this study was to describe the frequency of stress and identify stressors in mothers and caregivers of children and adolescents with asthma attended in a pneumology public pediatric outpatient clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Observational, descriptive, quantitative and qualitative study, with 53 mothers and caregivers of children/adolescents diagnosed with asthma, aged 2 to 12 years. The results demonstrated the presence of stress levels in 86.8% of participants. There was association between stress and the time since asthma onset, time the child/adolescent had been using medication, number of stressors regarding the childhood asthma and the education level of the mother/caregiver. The study identified family, social, economic and emotional factors as stressors, including the care of children with asthma. Identifying stressors related to asthma is an important step towards understanding the disease, treating the condition in children and, consequently, dealing with stress management.

title: Assessment of the psychometric properties of the Duke Religious Index scale in the context of the Public Health research

description: Religiosity is an important variable in health research, given its known association with the health-disease process and important questions about the well-being, attitudes, practices and satisfaction with care and services. However, in the research in Public Health, it is often used religious affiliation as the only dimension of religiosity. This study aims to investigate the appropriateness of using the Duke Religious Index scale (DUREL) in the context of the Public Health research, evaluating the psychometric capabilities of the instrument when applied to a representative sample of users of primary care services to health in a medium-sized city of the interior of São Paulo State, Southeast Brazil. It was found an adequate internal consistency for the instrument and satisfactory convergent-discriminant validity. The results suggest that the use of DUREL is not restricted to research in mental health, and that its use can bring new perspectives for the understanding of events of interest in the field of Public Health.
