RESUMEN

AIM: To evaluate the methodological quality of studies that analysed the relationship between accessibility to emergency services and infant mortality. METHODS: A systematic review with meta-analysis, registered on the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) platform under code CRD42021279854. Medline/Pubmed, Embase, SciElo, Lilacs, Scopus and web of science electronic databases were searched between November 2021 and May 2024, without language or publication time restriction. We included observational studies that compared the infant mortality outcome with the different distances travelled or travel time to health services in a paediatric emergency. Thus, we excluded studies with primary outcomes present in the pre- and perinatal periods, as well as distances or travel time to obstetric emergency units. We used the grade to assess the methodological quality of the studies and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for the risk of bias, in addition to performing a meta-analysis. RESULTS: The evidence quality on infant mortality was moderate for four studies and low for three studies. The meta-analysis showed that children who travelled more than 5 km to the emergency service had a 28% increase in the chance of dying (P = 0.002), as well as those travelling for more than 40 min increased by 45% (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: There was a relationship between the increase in geographic accessibility distance and travel time with the increase in infant mortality. However, the studies still showed moderate to low methodological quality.

RESUMEN

The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with early identification of disabilities and developmental follow-up of children in primary health care (PHC) services under the Care Network for People with Disabilities (RCPCD). We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from a multicenter study undertaken in eight states. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire answered by PHC professionals with degree-level qualifications selected using random sampling and stratified by state and municipality. Poisson regression with robust variance was performed for the two outcomes. Of the 1,488 workers in the final sample, 63.6% performed early identification of disabilities and 49% provided developmental follow-up. Family health teams performed early identification of disabilities and follow-up more than traditional model teams, and expanded family health teams provided developmental follow-up more than both these teams. The factors that showed the strongest association with identification and developmental follow-up were profession, working in a family health team and knowledge of the RCPCD.

Objetivou-se identificar fatores associados à atenção à saúde infantil na atenção primária à saúde (APS), na perspectiva das ações preconizadas pela Rede de Cuidados à Pessoa Deficiência (RCPCD), quanto à identificação precoce de deficiências e acompanhamento do desenvolvimento infantil. Trata-se de estudo transversal, multicêntrico, realizado em oito estados brasileiros. A coleta de dados envolveu a aplicação de questionário estruturado com profissionais de saúde de nível superior atuantes na APS, com amostra aleatória estratificada por estado e município. Foram realizadas regressões de Poisson com variância robusta para duas variáveis resposta. Entre os 1.488 trabalhadores que compuseram a amostra final, 63,6% realizam ações de identificação precoce de deficiências e 49% efetuam acompanhamento do desenvolvimento infantil. As equipes de Saúde da Família (eSF) identificam e acompanham mais do que as equipes do modelo tradicional, e os Núcleos Ampliados de Saúde da Família e Atenção Básica realizam mais ações de acompanhamento do que essas equipes. Conclui-se que os fatores mais associados com a identificação e o acompanhamento de crianças com deficiências na APS foram aqueles relativos à formação profissional, à eSF e ao conhecimento de normativas relativas à RCPCD.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of aromatherapy through inhalation of Lavandula angustifolia essential oil in relieving pain during the immediate postoperative period of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS: A single-blind, randomized and controlled clinical trial, with 52 patients in the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery were randomly distributed into experimental (n = 26) and control (n = 26) groups. The primary outcome was whether or not pain was relieved and secondary outcomes included changes in vital signs, sleep and facial relaxation. The control group received industry standard care and application of an essential oil-free ceramic diffuser necklace. The experimental group received the inhalation intervention with pure Lavandula angustifolia essential oil, with a drop of the oil on a ceramic diffuser necklace at a distance of 15-20 cm from the patient's nose for 30 min. Pain was measured using the Numerical Visual Scale, and vital signs using the multiparametric monitor before the intervention, 10 minutes after its start and 30 minutes after the total end of inhalation. Face relaxation was assessed before and after the intervention and sleep was assessed at the end of inhalation. RESULTS: There was a decrease in pain levels (p < 0.001) 30 min after the end of inhalation in the Experimental Group, with a decrease in the measurements of Mean Blood Pressure (p= 0.008) and Respiratory Rate (p = 0.011). Furthermore, facial relaxation and sleep had a large effect size of 2.54 and 1.28, respectively. CONCLUSION: Lavandula angustifolia essential oil was effective in relieving pain, causing sleep and relaxation, proving to be a low-cost and easy-to-use tool that the nursing team can use in their care.

RESUMEN

Hydrogels based on natural polysaccharides have demonstrated efficacy in epithelial recovery from cutaneous burn wounds. Here, we prepared a double-network hydrogel consisting of galactomannan (from Cassia grandis seeds) and κ-carrageenan (commercially sourced), cross-linked with CaCl2, as a matrix for immobilizing lactoferrin and/or Cramoll, aiming at its applicability as dressings for second-degree burn wounds. The formulations obtained [H - hydrogel, HL - hydrogel + lactoferrin, HC - hydrogel + Cramoll and HLC - hydrogel + lactoferrin + Cramoll] were analyzed rheologically as well as in terms of their stability (pH, color, microbial contamination) for 90 days. The burn was created with an aluminum bar (97 ± 3 °C) in the dorsal region of Wistar rats and subsequently treated with hydrogels (H, HL, HC, HLC) and control saline solution (S). The burn was monitored for 3, 7 and 14 days to evaluate the efficacy of the hydrogels in promoting wound healing. The hydrogels did not reveal significant pH or microbiological changes; there was an increase in brightness and a reduction in opacity for H. The rheological analysis confirmed the gel-like viscoelastic signature of the systems without substantial modification of the basic rheological characteristics, however HLC proved to be more rigid, due to rheological synergy when combining protein biomolecules. Macroscopic analyses confirmed centripetal healing with wound contraction: S < H < HC < HL < HLC. Histopathological analyses showed that hydrogel-treated groups reduced inflammation, tissue necrosis and fibrosis, while promoting re-epithelialization with focal acanthosis, especially in HLC due to a positive synergistic effect, indicating its potential as a promising therapy in the repair of burns.

RESUMEN

Considering the institution of the Care Network for People with Disabilities (RCPD) in Brazil, this study analyzed the spatial distribution and the temporal trend of implementing specialized services that received financial support in the first eight years of this policy. We realized an ecological study based on the National Register of Health Facilities data from April/2012 to March/2020. A joinpoint regression was used for temporal trend analysis, and thematic maps were produced for spatial analysis of rehabilitation modalities and types of services. The most available services were physical and intellectual rehabilitation. The Southeast and Northeast regions had a higher concentration of specialized services. Despite the lower number of services, there was an average annual growth between 9.6% and 41.3%. This finding indicates an increase in specialized services for people with disabilities in the period analyzed, but care gaps are still being verified in the macro-regions of Brazil.

RESUMEN

The accelerated growth of cyanobacteria in water bodies is a global critical environmental issue caused by continuous discharges of effluents into the environment that are rich in phosphorus and nitrogen. So, cyanobacteria have found propitious conditions for proliferation, provoking significant ecological imbalances. Cyanobacteria produce cyanotoxins, which are harmful to life, and compounds like 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin that affect water's taste and odor. This study analyzed a long-term database of important environmental parameters from a tropical reservoir in São Paulo State, Brazil. The statistical methods of correlation matrices and principal component analysis were used. Data analysis revealed a significant relationship between cyanobacteria growth and high levels of phosphate and nitrogen. Furthermore, positive correlations were found among concentrations of biocidal elements like antimony, arsenic, and selenium related to cyanobacterial bloomings. These correlations can be attributed to agricultural wastewaters and/or possible algicide used to control these microorganisms.

Resumo Considerando a instituição da Rede de Atenção à Pessoa com Deficiência (RCPD) no Brasil, o estudo analisa a distribuição espacial e a tendência temporal da implantação de serviços especializados que receberam apoio financeiro nos primeiros oito anos dessa política. Realizamos um estudo ecológico com base nos dados do Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde no período de abril/2012 a março/2020. Uma regressão joinpoint foi usada para análise de tendência temporal e mapas temáticos foram produzidos para análise espacial de modalidades de reabilitação e tipos de serviços. Os serviços mais disponíveis foram reabilitação física e intelectual. As regiões Sudeste e Nordeste apresentaram maior concentração de serviços especializados. Apesar do menor número de serviços, houve crescimento médio anual entre 9,6% e 41,3%. Esse achado indica aumento de serviços especializados para pessoas com deficiência no período analisado, mas ainda se verificam lacunas assistenciais nas macrorregiões do Brasil.

RESUMEN

Resumo Objetivo: Analisar os itinerários terapêuticos de sobreviventes da Covid-19 pós-alta hospitalar. Metodologia: Estudo qualitativo pautado no método da história oral temática, realizado com dez indivíduos que pós-alta hospitalar de um serviço público de referência no município de João Pessoa-PB, desenvolveram a condição pós-Covid e buscaram cuidados. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas individuais, analisadas pela técnica da análise de conteúdo. Resultados e Discussão: Após a alta hospitalar, a maioria dos participantes tiveram que custear os cuidados recebidos. Essa realidade denota que, quando os usuários necessitam de assistência imediata à saúde e não encontram alternativas viáveis pelo SUS, são coagidos a buscar a rede privada. Conclusão: Faz-se necessário desenvolver estratégias que garantam o acesso adequado de indivíduos na condição pós-Covid à reabilitação e a outros cuidados de saúde no âmbito do SUS.

Abstract Objective: To analyze the therapeutic itineraries of survivors of Covid-19 after hospital discharge. Methodology: Qualitative study based on the method of thematic oral history, conducted with ten individuals who, after hospital discharge from a public reference service in the municipality of João Pessoa-PB, developed post-Covid condition and sought care. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using the content analysis technique. Results and Discussion: Most participants had to pay for the care received after hospital discharge. This reality indicates that when users need immediate health assistance and do not find viable alternatives through the SUS (Brazil's public health system), they are forced to seek private healthcare. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop strategies that guarantee adequate access for individuals in the post-Covid condition to rehabilitation and other healthcare services within the SUS.

RESUMEN

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a percepção de curadores sobre a qualidade dos serviços de Fisioterapia neuropediátrica ofertados em Centros Especializados em reabilitação (CER) no Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, quantitativo, de caráter avaliativo, cujo público-alvo foi representado por cuidadores das crianças em reabilitação. O instrumento AQSF-Neuroped foi utilizado para avaliar a qualidade dos serviços de Fisioterapia neuropediátrica em três CER, com base na percepção de 320 cuidadores. Utilizou-se o teste de hipótese para uma proporção a partir de cada item e dimensão do AQSF-Neuroped. Os modelos Weight of Evidence e Análise de Classes Latentes foram usados para avaliar o comportamento de variáveis sobre a percepção de qualidade. Obteve-se um escore médio total de qualidade de 133±14 pontos, implicando uma percepção positiva de qualidade; porém, há aspectos relacionados à estrutura física (dimensão interpessoal) e ao acesso (dimensão organizacional II) que precisam ser aprimorados (p-valores<0,05) para melhor atender às expectativas dos cuidadores. O CER B foi melhor avaliado dentre os demais serviços (IV<0,10). A ACL permitiu identificar, por meio da formação de grupo, características do cuidador que determinaram uma perspectiva positiva ou negativa da qualidade. Assim, disponibilizou-se os resultados para subsidiar as melhores práticas nos serviços.

This study evaluates the perception of caregivers of the quality of neuropediatric physiotherapy services offered at specialized rehabilitation centers (SRC) in Brazil. This is a cross-sectional, quantitative, evaluative study whose target population was caregivers of children in rehabilitation. The AQSF-Neuroped instrument was used to evaluate the quality of three SRC based on the perception of 320 caregivers. The one-proportion hypothesis test was used based on each AQSF-Neuroped item and dimension. The Weight of Evidence and Latent Class Analysis models were used to evaluate the influence of variables on the perception of quality. A mean overall quality score of 133±14 points indicated a positive perception of quality; however, there were aspects related to physical structure (Interpersonal Dimension) and access (Organizational Dimension II) that needed to be improved (p-values<0.05) to better meet the expectations of caregivers. By group formation, the LCA enabled identification of the caregivers' characteristics that determined either a positive or negative perspective of the quality. SRC B was best evaluated among all SRC (IV<0.10). Finally, managers are provided with results to support improvements in services.

RESUMEN

Background and aim: Thirst is a real bother that most patients feel in the immediate postoperative period when they still need to fast. Many approaches regarding symptomatic relief strategies have been described in the literature, but strategies with cold water and/or menthol are effective in quenching thirst, as they act on pre-absorptive mechanisms. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using menthol popsicles in relieving postoperative thirst in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. Material and methods: This is a randomized controlled clinical trial with a quantitative approach. In all, 44 patients were evaluated in the immediate postoperative period of radical prostatectomy, with the intensity and discomfort of thirst being evaluated initially and subsequently. The study consisted of two groups: (1) the placebo group, popsicles without the addition of menthol substrates and (2) the experimental group, popsicles with the addition of 0.05% minty substrates. Results: The results demonstrate that the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were homogeneous at the α = 5% significance level, except the occupation variable. The test detected changes in the intensity and discomfort of thirst in relation to the pre- and post-intervention times for the primary outcome when the groups were analyzed separately and for the interaction of the group versus time, there was no statistical difference between the groups. Conclusion: It was possible to prove that both the menthol popsicle and the popsicle without the addition of menthol were effective in relieving postoperative thirst in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, but there was no statistically significant difference when comparing the two groups. Trial registration: The Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (RBR-8c3chr7).

RESUMEN

The Care Network for People with Disabilities (RCPCD) was implemented in 2012 as a consequence of the actions of the Viver sem Limite (Living without Limits) plan and has been the research object of recent studies. However, no published studies address the degree of implementation of this network. This study aimed to evaluate the degree of implementation of the RCPCD in eight states in the five regions of Brazil. This multiple case study performed evaluative research of the degree of implementation of the RCPCD in the states of Amazonas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo. A logical model of the policy and a measurement matrix were developed. The degree of implementation of seven states was moderate, but Amazonas had an incipient degree of implementation. The evaluation of each stage of the process showed important differences, as the regional diagnosis and network adhesion stages presented moderate to advanced degrees of implementation in most states. In the service contracting stage, no state had an advanced degree of implementation, and the stage of follow-up and monitoring of the RCPCD was not even reached. The measurement matrix helps evaluate the degree of implementation of the RCPCD, and, by recognizing its results, the state steering groups and technical area recommend its use. Actions to improve this implementation, such as strengthening regionalization, establishing regional steering groups, ensuring contracting mechanisms, and defining criteria for certification of the care points, are necessary.

A Rede de Cuidados à Pessoa com Deficiência (RCPCD) foi implantada em 2012 como desdobramento das ações do Plano Viver sem Limite, sendo objeto de pesquisas recentes, entretanto, não foram encontrados estudos de avaliação do grau de implantação dessa rede. O objetivo deste artigo foi avaliar o grau de implantação da RCPCD em oito estados nas cinco regiões geográficas brasileiras. Realizou-se estudo de casos múltiplos mediante pesquisa avaliativa do grau de implantação da RCPCD nos estados/casos: Amazonas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Sul e São Paulo. Para tanto, desenvolveu-se um modelo lógico da política e uma matriz de medidas. O grau de implantação de sete estados foi classificado como moderado, somente o Amazonas obteve grau de implantação incipiente. Foram identificadas diferenças importantes na avaliação de cada fase desse processo, as fases de diagnóstico regional e adesão à rede obtiveram grau de implantação de moderado a avançado na maioria dos estados. Na fase da contratualização dos serviços, nenhum estado alcançou o grau avançado de implantação e a fase de acompanhamento e monitoramento da RCPCD basicamente não ocorreu em todos os estados. A matriz de medidas permite avaliar o grau de implantação da RCPCD. Ainda, o reconhecimento dos resultados do grau de implantação pelos grupos condutores e áreas técnicas estaduais referendou o uso desse instrumento. Salienta-se a necessidade de ações para o aprimoramento dessa implantação, tais como: fortalecer a regionalização, instituir grupos condutores regionais, garantir mecanismos de contratualização e definir critérios para certificação dos pontos de atenção.

RESUMEN

Background: In addition to its low toxicity risk, Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) essential oil is recognised worldwide for its sedative, antidepressant, antiseptic, antifungal, relaxing, and antiemetic properties. Thus, the action mechanism of lavender oil has attracted significant attention from researchers interested in improving the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of patients. Objective: To investigate the scope of knowledge regarding the use of L. angustifolia essential oil as a complementary therapy in adult health care. Methods: A scoping review was carried out using a PRISMA-ScR checklist followed by a critical assessment being performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute level of evidence. The following databases were used: SCOPUS, MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, SCIELO, Cochrane Library, LILACS, Wiley Online Library, CAPES, and FIOCRUZ Dissertations. Results: Eighty-three articles published between 2002 and 2022 were selected for the analysis; More articles came from Iran than from any other country and most articles reported clinical trials. The applicability of lavender essential oil and its route of administration in different clinical situations were the main topics addressed in the articles. Conclusions: Most studies demonstrate the efficacy of L. angustifolia Mill. essential oil in relieving pain and decreasing anxiety. Few studies evaluated the anti-psoriatic, anti-toxoplasmotic, and wound healing properties and the protective actions against cerebral ischemia. One study reported on its safety, specifically the allergenic potential of linalool, the main chemical component of L. angustifolia essential oil. However, most studies did not involve the extensive investigations on this topic or report the safe quantities of this oil for human treatment, meaning further research into the safety of this treatment is required.

RESUMEN

Resumo Introdução: A incapacidade para o trabalho e o processo de reabilitação são eventos importantes na vida de homens e mulheres trabalhadores que sofrem algum tipo de interrupção da vida laborativa por causa de agravos relacionados ao trabalho. Assim, conhecer como ambos enfrentam essas situações pode trazer luz para as abordagens de reabilitação. Objetivo: Sistematizar e sintetizar o que a literatura científica aponta a respeito da reabilitação da incapacidade para o trabalho na percepção de homens e mulheres. Método: Buscou-se estudos qualitativos publicados nas bases de dados CINAHL, SCOPUS, PsycINFO e Web of Science, utilizando-se os descritores: qualitative method, work disability, rehabilitation e gender. A análise foi feita com base nos pressupostos de Noblit e Hare para metassíntese. Resultados: Os homens valorizam a atuação dos serviços de saúde ocupacional e a incorporação das exigências do trabalho na reabilitação. As mulheres apontaram as atitudes dos profissionais, família e colegas e valorizaram a mudança de local ou tarefa de trabalho e o acreditar na potencialidade delas no processo de reabilitação. Conclusões: A presente metassíntese apontou para o valor que homens e mulheres atribuem respectivamente, mas não exclusivamente, à centralidade do trabalho e às redes de apoio social no processo de reabilitação.

Abstract Background: Disability to work and the rehabilitation process are important events in the lives of working men and women who suffer some form of interruption in their working life due to work-related illnesses. Thus, knowing how they both cope with these situations can shed light on rehabilitation approaches. Objective: Systematize and synthesize what the scientific literature points out about the rehabilitation of incapacity for work in the perception of men and women. Method: Qualitative studies published in the CINAHL, SCOPUS, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases were searched, using the descriptors: qualitative method, work disability, rehabilitation, and gender. The analysis was based on the assumptions of Noblit and Hare for meta-synthesis. Results: Men value the performance of occupational health services and the incorporation of work demands in rehabilitation. Women pointed out the attitudes of professionals, family and colleagues and valued the change of place or work task and the belief in their potential in the rehabilitation process. Conclusions: The present meta-synthesis pointed to the value that men and women attribute respectively, but not exclusively, to the centrality of work and social support networks in the rehabilitation process.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT Job satisfaction is multifactorial and is directly related to the quality of health services. The main objective of this study was to characterize the level of job satisfaction and the work context of the multidisciplinary teams in specialized rehabilitation services in the state of Alagoas, Brazil. We evaluated the professional profile of participants and sociodemographic information. The Work Context Assessment Scale (WCAS) which is divided into three dimensions and questions adapted from the satisfaction and remuneration dimensions of the Great Place to Work methodology for the Organizational Climate Survey, was used. We included 190 professionals, the mean age was 35.47±9.25 and 86.3% were women. Most participants worked in the capital (60%) and 84.7% had a monthly wage ranging from R$1,000 to R$3,000. The dimension of "work organization" was crucial. The items "pace of work," "strong demand," "performance monitoring," and "repetitive tasks" presented the worst results, but 92.7% are satisfied with their professional activities. The logistic regression analysis showed that more years since graduation and lower scores of Work conditions and Socio-professional relationships were associated with higher job satisfaction. Job satisfaction was found to be high, the dimension of work organization was crucial, and almost half of the participants have already thought about leaving their careers.

RESUMEN La satisfacción laboral es multifactorial y está directamente relacionada con la calidad de los servicios de salud. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue identificar el nivel de satisfacción y el contexto de trabajo de equipos multidisciplinarios en servicios especializados de rehabilitación en el estado de Alagoas, Brasil. Se evaluó el perfil profesional y el perfil sociodemográfico, y se aplicaron la Escala de Evaluación del Contexto de Trabajo (EACT), dividida en tres dimensiones, y preguntas adaptadas de las dimensiones de satisfacción y remuneración de la metodología de encuesta de clima organizacional, Great Place to Work. Se incluyeron a 190 profesionales, de los cuales el 86,3% eran mujeres, y la edad media fue de 35,47±9,25 años. La mayoría trabajaba en la capital (60%) y el 84,7% ganaba entre R$1.000 y R$3.000. La dimensión "organización del trabajo" fue crítica. Los ítems "ritmo de trabajo", "exigencia de resultados", "control del rendimiento" y "tareas repetitivas" obtuvieron los peores resultados, pero el 92,7% de los participantes estaban satisfechos con su actividad profesional. La regresión logística mostró que a más años de formación y puntuaciones más bajas en las dimensiones "condiciones de trabajo" y "relación socioprofesional" se asociaban a una mayor satisfacción laboral. La satisfacción laboral fue alta, la dimensión "organización del trabajo" crítica, y casi la mitad de los participantes había pensado en dejar su carrera.

RESUMO A satisfação no trabalho é multifatorial e está diretamente relacionada com a qualidade dos serviços de saúde. O objetivo principal deste estudo foi caracterizar o nível de satisfação e o contexto de trabalho de equipes multidisciplinares de serviços especializados em reabilitação no estado de Alagoas, Brasil. Foi avaliado o perfil profissional e sociodemográfico e foram aplicadas a escala de avaliação do contexto de trabalho (EACT), que é dividida em três dimensões, e questões adaptadas das dimensões de satisfação e remuneração da metodologia Great Place to Work da pesquisa de clima organizacional. Incluímos 190 profissionais, sendo 86,3% do sexo feminino, e a idade média foi de 35,47±9,25 anos. A maioria trabalhava na capital (60%) e 84,7% recebiam mensalmente de R$ 1.000,00 a R$ 3.000,00. A dimensão organização do trabalho foi considerada crítica. Os itens ritmo de trabalho, cobrança por resultados, fiscalização do desempenho e tarefas repetitivas tiveram os piores resultados, mas 92,7% dos participantes estavam satisfeitos com suas atividades profissionais. A regressão logística mostrou que mais anos de formado e menores pontuações nas dimensões condições de trabalho e relações socioprofissionais estão associados com maior satisfação no trabalho. A satisfação no trabalho foi alta, a dimensão organização do trabalho crítica, e quase metade dos participantes já pensaram em deixar sua carreira.

RESUMEN

Resumo: A Rede de Cuidados à Pessoa com Deficiência (RCPCD) foi implantada em 2012 como desdobramento das ações do Plano Viver sem Limite, sendo objeto de pesquisas recentes, entretanto, não foram encontrados estudos de avaliação do grau de implantação dessa rede. O objetivo deste artigo foi avaliar o grau de implantação da RCPCD em oito estados nas cinco regiões geográficas brasileiras. Realizou-se estudo de casos múltiplos mediante pesquisa avaliativa do grau de implantação da RCPCD nos estados/casos: Amazonas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Sul e São Paulo. Para tanto, desenvolveu-se um modelo lógico da política e uma matriz de medidas. O grau de implantação de sete estados foi classificado como moderado, somente o Amazonas obteve grau de implantação incipiente. Foram identificadas diferenças importantes na avaliação de cada fase desse processo, as fases de diagnóstico regional e adesão à rede obtiveram grau de implantação de moderado a avançado na maioria dos estados. Na fase da contratualização dos serviços, nenhum estado alcançou o grau avançado de implantação e a fase de acompanhamento e monitoramento da RCPCD basicamente não ocorreu em todos os estados. A matriz de medidas permite avaliar o grau de implantação da RCPCD. Ainda, o reconhecimento dos resultados do grau de implantação pelos grupos condutores e áreas técnicas estaduais referendou o uso desse instrumento. Salienta-se a necessidade de ações para o aprimoramento dessa implantação, tais como: fortalecer a regionalização, instituir grupos condutores regionais, garantir mecanismos de contratualização e definir critérios para certificação dos pontos de atenção.

Abstract: The Care Network for People with Disabilities (RCPCD) was implemented in 2012 as a consequence of the actions of the Viver sem Limite (Living without Limits) plan and has been the research object of recent studies. However, no published studies address the degree of implementation of this network. This study aimed to evaluate the degree of implementation of the RCPCD in eight states in the five regions of Brazil. This multiple case study performed evaluative research of the degree of implementation of the RCPCD in the states of Amazonas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo. A logical model of the policy and a measurement matrix were developed. The degree of implementation of seven states was moderate, but Amazonas had an incipient degree of implementation. The evaluation of each stage of the process showed important differences, as the regional diagnosis and network adhesion stages presented moderate to advanced degrees of implementation in most states. In the service contracting stage, no state had an advanced degree of implementation, and the stage of follow-up and monitoring of the RCPCD was not even reached. The measurement matrix helps evaluate the degree of implementation of the RCPCD, and, by recognizing its results, the state steering groups and technical area recommend its use. Actions to improve this implementation, such as strengthening regionalization, establishing regional steering groups, ensuring contracting mechanisms, and defining criteria for certification of the care points, are necessary.

Resumen: La Red de Atención a Personas con Discapacidad (RCPCD) se implementó en 2012 en el Sistema Único de Salud como resultado de las acciones del Plan Vivir sin Límite, y es objeto de una investigación reciente; sin embargo, no hay estudios de evaluación del grado de implementación de esta red. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el grado de implementación de la RCPCD en ocho estados de las cinco regiones geográficas brasileñas. Se realizó un estudio de caso múltiple mediante una investigación evaluativa sobre el grado de implementación de la RCPCD en los estados/casos: Amazonas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Sul y São Paulo. Para ello, se elaboraron un modelo lógico de la política y una matriz de medidas. El grado de implementación de siete estados se clasificó como moderado, solamente Amazonas obtuvo un grado de implementación incipiente. Se identificaron diferencias importantes en la evaluación de cada fase de este proceso, las fases de diagnóstico regional y adhesión a la red lograron un grado de implementación de moderado a avanzado en la mayoría de los estados. En la fase de contratación de los servicios, ningún estado alcanzó el nivel avanzado de implementación, y la fase de seguimiento y monitoreo de la RCPCD básicamente no se realizó en todos los estados. La matriz de medidas permite evaluar el grado de implementación de la RCPCD, y el reconocimiento de los resultados del grado de implementación por parte de los grupos de dirección y el área técnica de los estados avaló su uso. Son necesarias más acciones para mejorar esta implementación, tales como: fortalecer la regionalización, establecer grupos de dirección regional, garantizar mecanismos de contratación y definir criterios para la certificación de puntos de atención.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT Objective: mapping the scientific evidence about the use of educational technologies for caregivers in the context of Pediatric Oncology hospital units. Method: this is a scoping review based on the PRISMA-ScR recommendations and on the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. The search was performed by two independent reviewers in 12 national and international data sources. Publications available in full and free of charge in electronic means were included, with no language or time restrictions. Abstracts were excluded, as well as letters to the editor, opinion articles, books, monographies, dissertations, theses, blog postings, and theoretical and reflection articles. Data analysis was descriptive, with elaboration of charts and absolute and relative frequency statistics. Results: the final sample was comprised by 15 studies published between 2010 and 2020 and mainly from developed countries. Apps and videos were the predominant educational technologies, followed by printed materials, contributing to increasing the caregivers' knowledge about the disease and cancer treatment, symptom management and side effects of the chemotherapy drugs. In addition, when compared to printed materials, the videos showed a reduction in the caregivers' anxiety levels. The professionals most involved with the technologies were nurses and physicians. Conclusion: it was possible to map that apps and videos are the main educational technologies that are being developed to instruct caregivers, addressing diagnosis and treatment of child-youth cancer, symptom management and self-care promotion.

Se excluyeron resúmenes, cartas al editor, artículos de opinión, libros, monografías, disertaciones, tesis, posts en blogs, y artículos teóricos y de reflexión. El análisis de los datos fue descriptivo, y se elaboraron cuadros y estadísticas con frecuencias absolutas y relativas. Resultados: muestra final de 15 estudios publicados entre 2010 y 2020 y principalmente realizados en países desarrollados. Las apps y los videos fueron las tecnologías educativas predominantes, seguidas por los materiales impresos, lo que contribuyó a aumentar el conocimiento de los cuidadores sobre la enfermedad y el tratamiento oncológico, el manejo de los síntomas y los efectos colaterales de los fármacos quimioterapéuticos. Además, los videos demostraron que reducen el nivel de ansiedad de los cuidadores en comparación con los materiales impresos. Los profesionales que más se involucraron con las tecnologías fueron los enfermeros y los médicos. Conclusión: fue posible mapear que las apps y los vídeos son las principales tecnologías educativas en actual desarrollo para orientar a los cuidadores, abordando el diagnóstico y tratamiento del cáncer infantojuvenil, el manejo de los síntomas y la promoción del autocuidado.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the work process of physiotherapists in primary health care (PHC) and the repercussions of work management practices. METHODS: A qualitative study that used semi-structured interviews with nineteen physiotherapists, two management physiotherapists and a coordinator of PHC in municipality in Southern Brazil. Data were analyzed using the methodological framework of discourse analysis. RESULTS: Through the analyzed speeches, the work routine of physiotherapists working in basic health units in the municipality studied mainly involves individual care, group activities and home visits. The diversity of this routine is influenced by management, work teams, the characteristics of the assisted population and the professional profile of the physiotherapist. Measures that enhanced work effectiveness were the increase in the number of physiotherapists in the city over the years, effective interprofessional relationships, the possibility of working in a single health unit, and monthly meetings for continuing education. Among the weaknesses presented were the low effectiveness of the orthopedics protocol adopted in the municipality, poor access to secondary care, lack of knowledge about the physiotherapist's functions in PHC and limitations in infrastructure and financial resources. CONCLUSION: Physiotherapy in primary care has been consolidated in the studied city, with effective management actions and increased access to professional, having a positive impact on resolving health conditions sensitive to this level of care.
