RESUMO

Objective: Several health games have been developed for pediatric patients in recent years but few for children with atopic dermatitis (AD). As this chronic disease requires changes in daily habits, this study aimed to develop and validate the content of a board health game for children with AD. Material and Methods: This is a content development and validation study of DermatrilhaTM, a board health game about AD. The instrument aims to promote interactions between children with AD and health care providers and offers the exchange of experiences, feelings, and knowledge about the disease in a playful way. The five stages of development of the board game were (a) planning, (b) development, (c) preparation of content validation questionnaires, (d) evaluation by a committee of experts, and (e) pretest with the target audience. Results: The expert committee group consisted of 20 professionals: 5 physicians specialized in pediatric dermatology, 5 psychologists specialized in health psychology, 5 designers with experience in illustration, and 5 early childhood educators. The target audience consisted of 25 children aged 7-12 years with AD. The evaluation of the expert committee found 0.95 in the general content validity index and 0.92 in the target audience, thus exceeding 0.80 in all items. Conclusion: The board health game Dermatrilha has proven to be a psychoeducational tool for the therapeutic education of children with AD, enabling the exchange of experiences, feelings, and knowledge about the disease among peers and health care providers.

RESUMO

O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar a Avaliação Neuroló-gica Simplificada de pacientes que já concluíram a Poliquimioterapiae, a partir dos dados da mesma, comparar osresultados, ao analisá-los da perspectiva da Avaliação deGI e do Escore OMP. A pesquisa contou com 57 pacientesque foram diagnosticados entre 2005 e 2010 e tiveram,em algum momento do tratamento, incapacidade física.Houve um predomínio de pacientes do gênero masculino(52,6%), a maior parte se situou entre os 30 e 60 anosde idade (68,4%) e era portadora de Incapacidade FísicaGrau 1 ou 2 (77,2%). O pé esquerdo foi a região mais acometida(66,7%), seguida pelo pé direito (61,4%); a regiãomenos acometida foi o olho esquerdo (10,7%). O teste deMann-Whitney mostrou que há uma diferença estatísticasignificativa entre as duas classificações (p=0,0001), sugerindoque o Escore OMP é mais sensível do que o Graude Incapacidade. Concluiu-se que o Grau de Incapacidadeé melhor para operacionalizar as ações de Vigilância emHanseníase, mas que o Escore OMP é melhor para observara evolução das alterações funcionais e/ou sensitivasdo paciente hansênico durante o acompanhamento pelosserviços de saúde, especialmente após a alta da poliquimioterapia.

The objective of this study was to conduct the SimplifiedNeurological Assessment of patients who have completedmultidrug therapy and, from these data, compare theresults to analyze them from the perspective of theDisability Grade (DG) assessment and the Eye-HandFoot(EHF) score. This research included 57 patientswho were diagnosed between 2005 and 2010 and had, atany point in the treatment, physical disability. There wasa predominance of male patients (52.6%), the majoritywere between 30 and 60 years old (68.4%), and werediagnosed with Disability Grade 1 or 2 (77.2% ). Theleft foot was the most affected region (66.7%), followedby the right foot (61.4%), and the least affected regionwas the left eye (10.7%). The Mann-Whitney test showeda significant statistical difference between the twoclassifications (p=0.0001), suggesting that the EHF scoreis more sensitive than the DG. It was concluded that theDG is better for operationalizing leprosy surveillanceactions, but that the EHF score is better for observingthe evolution of functional and/or sensory changes inleprosy patients during follow-up by health services,especially after discharge from multidrug therapy

RESUMO

O objetivo deste trabalho é conhecer a vivência dos sujeitos que passam pela experiência do tratamento de hanseníase na cidade de Palmas-Tocantins. Para tanto, utilizou-se um método de pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada mediante roteiro semi-estruturado que continha a questão: “Gostaria de fazer algum comentário sobre a doença e o tratamento?” nos anos de 2011 e 2012. Participaram desse estudo 57 entrevistados que relataram sobre suas dores frente à doença e mudanças dos hábitos de vida. Comentaram ainda sobre os efeitos adversos dos medicamentos utilizados no tratamento, o desconhecimento da doença, a falta de apoio dos profissionais da saúde após o término do tratamento e o preconceito e vergonha que passaram. A partir da hanseníase entende-se a importância da dimensão psicossocial para o enfrentamento da doença, o sucesso do tratamento e das complicações implicadas. No trabalho descrito, percebem-se diferentes experiências e percepções dos pacientes que apontam o temor, a dúvida e a dor como constantes em seus tratamentos e depois deles.

The objective of this work was to report on the experience of individuals treated for leprosy in the city of Palmas, Tocantins. For this, a qualitative research was proposed. In 2011 and 2012, data was collected usinga semi-structured text that contained the question: “Would you like to make a comment about the disease and treatment?” This study includes the perceptions of 57 individuals who responded by reporting on their pain while coping with the disease and their changes in life style. They also commented on the adverse effects of the medications they took during treatment, the ignorance of the disease, the lack of support from health professionals after the end of treatment and the discrimination and shame that they experienced. Having leprosy shows the importance of the psychosocial dimension of coping with the disease, the success of treatment and the complications involved. This work demonstrates the different experiences and perceptions of patients, their fears, doubts and pain as constants during treatment and persisting after wards.
