RESUMEN

Objective: To describe the BEM Program, an innovative online parenting program for socioeconomically disadvantaged caregiver-child dyads in Brazil. Methods: The Template for Intervention Description and Replication checklist was used to describe the BEM Program in detail. Results: The BEM Program (an acronym for Brincar Ensina Mudar in Portuguese, "Play Teaches Change" in English) refers to the change in adult, child, and dyad outcomes that can be observed through incorporating playful interactions between the caregiver and their child into their daily household chores. Content consisting of 8 videos and 40 text and audio messages was sent entirely online through WhatsApp®. Thus, the Program could be accessed wherever caregivers wanted, if they had their smartphone and Internet access. Conclusions: The detailed description of an innovative online parenting program focused on caregiver-child interaction and child development contributes to the scarce evidence on this type of programs. Adherence to the program continues to represent one of the main challenges to overcome.

RESUMEN

Remotely delivered parenting interventions are suitable to promote child well-being and development, in a context of social isolation, as our society faced due to COVID-19. The objective of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of remotely delivered parenting interventions for typically developing children on caregiver-child interaction and child development. We carried out a systematic search to find studies from the inception of the database to September 2021 on six electronic databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection and Regional Portal Information and Knowledge for Health (BVS), and gray literature. Eligible study designs were experimental and quasi-experimental studies. We included parenting interventions as long as they were remotely delivered and focused on typically developing children. Two outcomes were considered: caregiver-child interaction and child development. Three randomized controlled trials (RCT) and one quasi-experimental study met the inclusion criteria. Results from two RCT revealed positive, small-to-medium effects on child development. One study showed that the new intervention had a not inferior effect compared to the results achieved by the traditional support. Children who participated in the quasi-experimental study showed significant elevations in language ability. One study reported positive caregiver-child interaction results. There is insufficient evidence to draw definitive conclusions regarding the effectiveness of remotely delivered parenting interventions on child development due to the heterogeneity of participant profiles, mode of delivery, and assessment tools. The results suggest the need to develop future methodologically rigorous studies assessing the effectiveness of remotely delivered parenting interventions for typically developing children on caregiver-child interaction and child development.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This review will evaluate the effectiveness of different health delivery agents of parenting stimulation interventions versus usual care, no intervention, or a different type of delivery agent on child development outcomes among children aged 0 to 36 months. INTRODUCTION: Stimulation interventions vary in terms of implementation. While some interventions are delivered by professionals, most are delivered by non-professionals. Several prior systematic reviews on this topic have been conducted; however, no known study has evaluated the effectiveness of stimulation interventions on child development by type of delivery agent. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review will consider randomized controlled trials assessing parenting stimulation interventions delivered by different health delivery agents. These will be compared to usual care, no intervention, or a different delivery agent, targeted at caregiver-child dyads of children aged 0 to 36 months. The outcomes will include motor, language, cognitive, and socio-emotional development. The review will exclude studies including children with specific characteristics, interventions that do not focus on parenting, and protocols of randomized clinical trials. METHODS: The review will include both published and unpublished studies. The key information sources to be searched are: MEDLINE, APA (PsycNet), Embase, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, CINAHL, VHL Regional Portal, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Theses Canada Portal, and Library and Archives Canada. Studies in English, Spanish, and Portuguese will be included. Critical appraisal and data extraction will be conducted using standardized tools. Quantitative data, where possible, will be pooled in statistical meta-analysis, or if statistical pooling is not possible, the findings will be reported narratively. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42021245245.

RESUMEN

Abstract This essay analyzes the Brazilian laws, public policies, and programs for the promotion of child development, focusing on initiatives aimed at identifying developmental delays. Since 1984, the legislation about early childhood has included child development as part of the Brazilian childcare agenda. However, screening and developmental assessment were not considered among the most important actions aimed at childcare. It is necessary to formulate official instruments or scales and implement interventions for the detection of developmental disorders, delays, and risk conditions to reach more children and promptly identify their potential developmental delays.

Resumen Este ensayo analiza las leyes, políticas públicas y programas brasileños para la promoción del desarrollo infantil, centrándose en iniciativas destinadas a identificar retrasos en el desarrollo. Desde 1984, la legislación sobre la primera infancia ha incluido el desarrollo infantil como parte de la agenda brasileña de cuidado infantil. Sin embargo, la vigilancia y la evaluación del desarrollo no han ocupado un lugar destacado como una de las acciones más importantes dirigidas al cuidado infantil. Es necesario formular instrumentos o escalas oficiales, e implementar intervenciones para la detección de trastornos del desarrollo, retrasos y condiciones de riesgo que permitan llegar a más infantes, así como la identificación temprana de retrasos en el desarrollo.

Desde 1984, a legislação da primeira infância inclui o desenvolvimento infantil como parte da agenda brasileira de atenção à população infantil. No entanto, a vigilância e a avaliação do desenvolvimento não ocuparam uma posição importante como uma das ações voltadas para o cuidado da criança. É necessário criar instrumentos ou escalas oficiais e implementar intervenções para a detecção de transtornos do desenvolvimento, atrasos e condições de risco que possibilitem chegar a mais crianças e a identificação precoce de atrasos no desenvolvimento.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the correlation between child development and pregnancy planning and other associated aspects. METHOD: a cross-sectional study conducted with 125 mother-child dyads, the children aged from 11 to 23 months old and attending daycare centers located in socially disadvantaged areas. Child development according to domains was assessed using the Ages & Stages Questionnaire-BR and pregnancy planning was evaluated through the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy. The mothers were interviewed at their homes and non-parametric tests were used for data analysis. RESULTS: 17.6% of the pregnancies were unplanned, 24.8% were planned and 57.6% were ambivalent. Inadequate development in the different domains ranged from 21% to 40% and was not associated with pregnancy planning. However, the "communication" domain was associated with Bolsa Família and the "personal/social" and "communication" domains, with gender; while "personal/social", "broad motor coordination" and "fine motor coordination" were domains related to the child's age. CONCLUSION: no correlation between pregnancy planning and child development was observed; however, the low frequency of planned pregnancies and the high percentages of inadequate child development show the need to invest in the training of health professionals, both for contraceptive care and preconception health and for the promotion of child development, especially in socioeconomically disadvantaged contexts.

RESUMEN

A systematic review examined the association between body weight dissatisfaction with unhealthy eating behaviors and lack of physical activity in adolescents, since it represents an alert to adolescent's health and well-being. Six electronic databases and gray literature were systematically searched from January 1980 to December 2018. A total of 11 articles met the inclusion criteria. Included studies assessed body weight dissatisfaction using different dimensions/components: satisfaction component of the attitudinal dimension was assessed in five studies, behavior component of the attitudinal dimension was assessed in two studies, perceptual dimension was assessed in two studies, and two studies were unclear about dimension. Behaviors: two assessed only unhealthy eating behaviors, six assessed lack of physical activity, and three assessed both behaviors. Only three studies found an association between body weight dissatisfaction with unhealthy eating behaviors, three with lack of physical activity, and one did not perform a statistical test for an association between body weight dissatisfaction with unhealthy eating behaviors and lack of physical activity. Few studies have reported an association between body weight dissatisfaction with one of these unhealthy behaviors. There was substantial heterogeneity related to unit of measures, both for body weight dissatisfaction and for behaviors studied.

Objetivo: analizar la relación entre el desarrollo infantil y la planificación del embarazo y otros aspectos asociados. Método: estudio transversal realizado con 125 díadas madre e hijo de 11 a 23 meses, que concurren a guarderías infantiles ubicadas en zonas socialmente desfavorables. El desarrollo infantil de acuerdo con los dominios se evaluó mediante el Ages & Stages Questionnaire-BR y la planificación del embarazo mediante la London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy. Las madres fueron entrevistadas en sus domicilios y se utilizaron pruebas no paramétricas para el análisis de los datos. Resultados: se registró que 17,6% de los embarazos no fue planificados, 24,8% fue planificado y 57,6% ambivalente. El desarrollo inadecuado en los diferentes dominios osciló entre el 21% y el 40% y no estaba asociado con la planificación del embarazo. Sin embargo, el dominio "comunicación" se asoció con Bolsa Familia; los dominios "personal/social" y "comunicación" con el sexo; mientras que los dominios "personal/social", "coordinación motora gruesa" y "coordinación motora fina" estaban relacionados con la edad del niño. Conclusión: no se observó relación entre la planificación del embarazo y el desarrollo infantil, sin embargo, la baja frecuencia de embarazos planificados y los altos porcentajes de desarrollo infantil inadecuado demuestran que es necesario invertir en la capacitación de los profesionales de la salud, tanto para la atención sobre anticoncepción y salud preconcepcional, como para la promoción del desarrollo infantil, especialmente en contextos socioeconómicos desfavorables.

Objetivo: analisar a relação entre desenvolvimento infantil e planejamento da gravidez e outros aspectos associados. Método: estudo transversal conduzido com 125 díades mãe-criança de 11 a 23 meses de idade, frequentadoras de creches localizadas em áreas socialmente desfavoráveis. O desenvolvimento infantil segundo domínios foi avaliado com aplicação do Ages & Stages Questionnaire-BR e o planejamento da gravidez por meio do London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy. Mães foram entrevistadas nos domicílios e utilizou-se testes não paramétricos para análise dos dados. Resultados: verificou-se 17,6% de gravidez não planejada, 24,8% foram planejadas e 57,6% ambivalentes. O desenvolvimento inadequado nos diferentes domínios variou de 21-40% e não teve associação com o planejamento da gravidez. No entanto, o domínio "comunicação" associou-se com Bolsa Família; os domínios "pessoal/social" e "comunicação" com sexo; ao passo que "pessoal/social", "coordenação motora ampla" e "coordenação motora fina" foram domínios relacionados com a idade da criança. Conclusão: não foi observada relação entre o planejamento da gravidez e o desenvolvimento infantil, porém, a baixa frequência de gestações planejadas e os elevados percentuais de inadequado desenvolvimento infantil mostram a necessidade de se investir na capacitação dos profissionais de saúde, tanto para a atenção em contracepção e saúde pré-concepcional, quanto para a promoção do desenvolvimento infantil, especialmente em contextos socioeconômicos desfavoráveis.

RESUMEN

Abstract Objectives: to identify the absence of one or more general child development milestones and by domains, and associated factors. Methods: cross-sectional study with 334 children under three years of age conducted out at Primary Health Care Facilities, São Paulo, Brazil. The dependent variable was the general child development and the fine motor, gross motor, social and psychic domains evaluated using the Developmental Surveillance Instrument of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Data were obtained by interviewing the mothers and observing children. The chi-square test and logistic regression analyses were used. Results: absence of one or more milestones of general child development was found in 52.1% of children, especially, in the fine motor domain. We found an association between general child development with age (OR = 4.4; CI95%= 2.0-9.9) and the place of stay of the child who does not attend daycare (OR = 3.7; CI95%= 1.3-10.5). Conclusions: the absence of one or more milestones of general child development is high and associated with aspects of the child and the environment. This emphasizes the importance of promoting developmental surveillance in Primary Health Care Facilities among health professionals using the official instrument recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health.

RESUMEN

ResumenIntroducción. La inyección intramuscular es una técnica que causa dolor e incomodidad a las personas. Con el objetivo de determinar la zona de punción menos dolorosa para la administración de medicamentos intramusculares en glúteo, se realizó una revisión de literatura en busca de la evidencia de mayor calidad. Método. Se empleó el método propuesto por el enfoque de la Práctica Clínica de Enfermería Basada en la Evidencia. Se recopiló estudios de EBSCOhost, Google, Google Académico, Cochrane Library y PubMed. Se aplicó los filtros propuestos para la selección: se sometió los dos artículos seleccionados a lectura crítica mediante la plataforma FLC 2.0 con la cual se valoró la calidad de los estudios. El riesgo de sesgo se valoró con The Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias. A través del sistema de clasificación GRADE se determinó la calidad de la evidencia y la fuerza de la recomendación de la intervención.Resultado. Los artículos incluidos en el estudio respondieron parcialmente a la pregunta clínica planteada. La percepción de dolor durante la administración de inyectables en el sitio ventroglúteo es menor que en el dorsoglúteo, los hallazgos tuvieron un nivel de evidencia moderado y la fuerza de recomendación fue 1B.Conclusión. No hay evidencia contundente para preferir la elección del sitio ventroglúteo sobre el dorsoglúteo para disminuir el dolor asociado a la administración intramuscular de analgésicos antiinflamatorios, aunque el primer sitio posee mayores ventajas en comparación con el segundo.

AbstractIntroduction. Intramuscular injection is a technique that causes pain and discomfort to people. In order to determine the least painful puncture site for the administration of intramuscular gluteal medications, a literature review was conducted in search of the highest quality evidence.Method.The method used in this research was the Evidence-Based Nursing approach. The studies were collected from EBSCOhost, Google, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library and PubMed. Filters of the selection criteria were applied to the papers and then were subjected to critical appraisal using the web platform FLC 2.0 leaving 2 articles remaining. The Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias was applied and afterwards the GRADE approach was used to determine the quality of the evidence and strength of recommendation.Result. Papers included in the study responded partially the clinical question posed. The ventrogluteal IM injection site seems to be less painful than in the dorsogluteal site during the administration of analgesic antiinflammatory drugs, the findings had a moderate level of evidence and strength of recommendation was 1B. Conclusion. No strong evidence was found to prefer the ventrogluteal site rather than the dorsogluteal site in order to reduce pain associated with intramuscular administration of anti-inflammatory analgesics drugs. Although the first injection site has major advantages compared to the second

ResumoIntrodução: A injeção intramuscular é uma técnica que causa dor e desconforto para as pessoas. Com o objetivo de determinar o local da punção menos doloroso para a administração de medicamentos intramusculares no glúteo, realizou-se uma revisão de literatura em busca de evidência de maior qualidade.Materiais e método: Empregou-se o método proposto pelo enfoque de Prática Clínica de Enfermagem Baseada em Evidência. Realizaram-se estudos de EBSCOhost, Google, Google Acadêmico, Cochrane Library e PubMed. Aplicaram-se os filtros propostos para a seleção: foram submetidos dois artigos selecionados para a leitura crítica mediante a plataforma FLC 2.0 com a qual se estabeleceu um valor para a qualidade dos estudos. O risco de inclinação se determina com The Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias. Através do sistema de classificação GRADE se determinou a qualidade de evidência e a necessidade da recomendação da intervenção. Resultados: Os artigos incluídos no estudo responderam parcialmente a pergunta clínica planteada. A percepção da dor durante a administração de injetáveis no local ventroglúteo é menor que no dorsoglúteo, as descobertas tiveram um nível de evidência moderado e a necessidade de recomendação foi 1B.Conclusões:Não há evidência contundente para preferir a escolha do local ventroglúteo sobre o dorsoglúteo para diminuir a dor associada a administração intramuscular de analgésicos antiinflamatórios, embora o primeiro local possua maiores vantagens em comparação com o segundo.

RESUMEN

ResumenIntroducción:La visita domiciliaria se constituye en la principal estrategia de atención primaria al acercar los servicios de salud a los domicilios y lugares de trabajo de las personas, lo cual permite conocer de primera mano las necesidades de la población. La visita domiciliaria efectuada por el ATAP representa el primer contacto del individuo, familia y comunidad con el sistema de salud, con importantes beneficios tanto a nivel individual como colectivo. La presente investigación responde a la necesidad de identificar los elementos que el programa de visita domiciliaria requiere mejorar, modificar o sustituir con el fin de maximizar la prestación de este servicio.Método:Se diseñó un estudio cualitativo, analítico observadonal. Se recolectó los datos mediante revisión bibliográfica, entrevista a informantes claves y grupo focal. El análisis se realizó a partir de la teoría fundamentada.Resultados:Los datos evidenciaron la existencia de elementos a nivel de sistema de salud, programa de visita domiciliaria y figura del ATAP que deben ser revisados, modificados o sustituidos con el fin de que la visita domiciliaria tenga mayores y mejores alcances para la población y el sistema de salud.Conclusión:El programa de visita domiciliaria representa una fortaleza del sistema de salud costarricense al abordar las inequidades en salud. Sin embargo, es imperativa la toma de decisiones e implementación de acciones que promuevan el mejoramiento y aumento de los alcances que tiene la visita domiciliaria en el abordaje de la población a nivel familiar y comunitario.

AbstractIntroduction:Home visit is the main strategy of primary care by bringing health services to the homes and workplaces of people, which allows knowing the needs of the population firsthand. Thus, home visit by the ATAP represents the first contact of the individual, family and community with the health system, with significant benefits both individually and collectively. This research responds to the need to identify the elements that the home visiting program needs to improve modify or replace in order to maximize the provisión of this service.Method:It is a qualitative, observational analytic study. Data were collected through documentary research, key informant interviews and focus group. The analysis was performed from the grounded theory.Results:The main results showed the existence of elements at the level of the health system, home visiting program and the figure of the ATAP that should be reviewed, modified or replaced to the home visit, thus it has bigger and better results for the population and the health system.Conclusión:The Home Visiting Program is strength of the Costa Frican health system to address health inequities. However, it is imperative to make decisions and implementation of actions that promote the improvement and increased results of the home visit at a family and community level.

RESUMEN

ResumenIntroducción:En este artículo se presenta los resultados obtenidos de la validación de la Prueba General para la Evaluación del Desarrollo para infantes y adolescentes (EVADE), acorde con el crecimiento, necesidades, intereses y desarrollo de la población costarricense en edades entre los 6 y 14 años.Metodología:La metodología fue de carácter cualitativo, transversal y exploratorio: se llevó a cabo un proceso de validación que incluyó la técnica de juicio de expertos de tipo agregados individuales. En la primera fase de análisis de resultados, se utilizó la triangulación de la que se obtuvo como resultado el EVADE modificado. Posteriormente, se elaboró una prueba piloto con 300 infantes y adolescentes entre los 6 y 14 años de edad, de escuelas y colegios tanto públicos como privados del Area Metropolitana, San José, Costa Rica, para lo cual se empleó una guía de observación para recopilar los datos aportados en dicha prueba. En la segunda fase, con los resultados de la triangulación teórica, se estructuró una nueva versión del EVADE.Resultados:Hay escasez bibliográfica relacionada con pruebas de evaluación del desarrollo de la niñez intermedia y adolescencia; la técnica de juicio de expertos permitió confirmar la inconsistencia de algunos ítems del EVADE, por lo que fue necesario crear un instructivo y materiales estandarizados para la aplicación de la prueba.Conclusión:Esta investigación provee dos insumos fundamentales: un libro con el instructivo para la interpretación y aplicación del EVADE, y los materiales estandarizados para su implementación.
