RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Suicide is a complex, global public health problem. The Colombian clinical practice guideline provides relevant input for its prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The objective was to evaluate the methodological quality, credibility and applicability of the Colombian clinical practice guideline for suicidal behaviour. METHODS: An academic group of 12 evaluators was established to assess the guide and its recommendations in a standardised way, using the AGREE-II and AGREE-REX instruments. The evaluations were given in the range of 0.0-1.0 with 0.7 as a cut-off point for appropriate quality. RESULTS: The global assessment of the AGREE-II was greater than 0.7 in the dimensions: "scope and objective" (0.86), "clarity of presentation" (0.89), "applicability" (0.73) and "editorial independence" (0.89). The lowest scores were for "participation of those involved" (0.67) and "rigour in preparation" (0.69). With the AGREE-REX, the results in all dimensions were below 0.70, which indicates lower quality and suitability for use. CONCLUSIONS: The adoption process of the Colombian guideline for suicidal behaviour was a rigorous methodological process, while the practice recommendations were valued as of low applicability due to low support in local evidence. It is necessary to strengthen the generation and synthesis of evidence at the national level to give greater support and applicability to the practice recommendations.

RESUMO

Introducción: Las fracturas osteoporóticas, especialmente de cadera y columna, conllevan una significativa morbimortalidad, y el riesgo de fractura de cadera aumenta en un 50% tras una fractura previa. A nivel global y en Chile, persiste una baja tasa de tratamiento de la osteoporosis post fractura. La iniciativa "Capture the Fracture" de la International Osteoporosis Foundation propone prácticas óptimas, incluyendo Servicios de Enlace Post Fractura (FLS); sin embargo, en Chile, sólo existen dos FLS, ambos en el sector privado. Objetivo: Este estudio busca implementar el primer FLS en el ámbito público, específicamente en el Hospital Clínico Dra. Eloísa Díaz de La Florida. La metodología se basa en el Modelo Lógico, enfatizando la relevancia del recurso humano, especialmente una enfermera coordinadora. Resultados: Los resultados identifican el problema, recursos necesarios, acciones clave y metas a corto, mediano y largo plazo. Factores externos como el entorno hospitalario y colaboración con programas existentes se consideran. Se presenta un esquema gráfico del Modelo Lógico y se proponen indicadores de evaluación. Discusión: Es relevante abordar las fracturas por fragilidad como un problema de salud pública y en cuanto a esto, se destaca la aceptación de nuestro proyecto para su implementación por parte de las autoridades hospitalarias. Se espera que esta iniciativa inspire a otros centros de salud pública en Chile a implementar servicios similares, contribuyendo a cerrar la brecha de tratamiento y mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes.

Introduction: Osteoporotic fractures, especially of the hip and spine, entail significant morbidity and mortality, with a 50% increased risk of hip fracture following a prior fracture. Globally - and in Chile, a low rate of post-fracture osteoporosis treatment persists. The International Osteoporosis Foundation's "Capture the Fracture" initiative advocates optimal practices, including Fracture Liaison Services (FLS); however, in Chile, there are only two FLS, both in the private healthcare system. Objective: This study aims to implement the first FLS in the public domain, specifically at the Dra. Eloísa Díaz Clinical Hospital, at Santiago. The methodology is based on the Logic Model, emphasizing the importance of human resources, especially a coordinating nurse. Results: The findings identify the problem, necessary resources, key actions, and short, medium, and long-term goals. External factors such as the hospital environment and collaboration with existing programs are considered. A graphical representation of the Logic Model is presented, along with proposed evaluation indicators. Discussion: Addressing fragility fractures as a public health issue is pertinent, and hospital authorities' acceptance of our project for implementation is highlighted. This initiative is anticipated to inspire other public health centers in Chile to implement similar services, contributing to closing the treatment gap and enhancing patients' quality of life.

RESUMO

Objective: To identify strategies to increase adherence to systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) treatment and describe the barriers and facilitators for implementing these strategies in primary health care (PHC). Method: A rapid evidence review was performed. We included systematic reviews with or without meta-analyses, published in English, Spanish or Portuguese, covering adults (age 18 to ≤ 60 years) with SAH followed in the PHC. Searches were performed in nine databases in December 2020 and updated in April 2022. The systematic reviews were assessed for methodological quality using the AMSTAR 2 tool. Results: Fourteen systematic reviews on treatment adherence strategies and three on barriers and facilitators for implementation were included. Regarding methodological quality, one systematic review was classified as moderate, four as low, and the others as critically low. Four strategies were identified as options for health policies: actions performed by pharmacists; actions performed by non-pharmaceutical health professionals; self-monitoring, use of mobile apps, and text messages; and subsidies for the purchase of medicines. Low digital literacy, limited access to the internet, work process and incipient training were barriers for professionals. The users' educational and health literacy levels, accessibility to health services and good relationships with professionals were facilitators. Conclusions: Positive effects of strategies related to pharmaceutical care, self-monitoring, and the use of cell phone applications and text messages were identified to increase adherence to the treatment of SAH in the context of PHC. However, for implementation purposes, it is necessary to consider barriers and facilitators, in addition to the methodological limitations of the analyzed systematic reviews.

Objetivo: Buscar estrategias para aumentar la adhesión al tratamiento de la hipertensión arterial sistémica y describir las barreras y los elementos facilitadores para la implementación de esas estrategias en el ámbito de la atención primaria de salud. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión rápida de la evidencia. Se incluyeron revisiones sistemáticas, con o sin metaanálisis, publicadas en español, inglés o portugués, en las cuales se evaluaban a personas adultas (de 18 a ≤ 60 años) con hipertensión arterial sistémica observadas en el ámbito de la atención primaria de salud. Las búsquedas se realizaron en nueve bases de datos en diciembre del 2020 y se actualizaron en abril del 2022. Se evaluó la calidad metodológica de las revisiones sistemáticas incluidas con la herramienta AMSTAR 2. Resultados: Se incluyeron 14 revisiones sistemáticas sobre estrategias de adhesión al tratamiento y tres sobre obstáculos y elementos facilitadores para la implementación. La calidad metodológica fue moderada en una revisión sistemática, baja en cuatro y críticamente baja en las demás. Se identificaron cuatro estrategias como opciones para las políticas de salud: medidas tomadas por farmacéuticos; medidas tomadas por profesionales no farmacéuticos; autocontrol, uso de aplicaciones para teléfonos celulares y mensajes de texto; y oferta de subvenciones para la compra de medicamentos. La escasa alfabetización digital, el acceso limitado a internet y los procesos de trabajo y formación incipiente fueron obstáculos para los profesionales. Los elementos facilitadores fueron el nivel de educación y de conocimientos de los usuarios en materia de salud, la accesibilidad a los servicios de salud y las buenas relaciones con los profesionales. Conclusiones: Se observaron efectos positivos de las estrategias relacionadas con la atención farmacéutica, el autocontrol y el uso de aplicaciones de telefonía celular y mensajería de texto para aumentar la adhesión al tratamiento de la hipertensión arterial sistémica en el ámbito de la atención primaria de salud. Sin embargo, para fines de implementación, es necesario considerar los obstáculos y los elementos facilitadores, además de las limitaciones metodológicas de las revisiones sistemáticas analizadas.

RESUMO

Adequate diagnosis, treatment, and control of arterial hypertension (AHT) continues to be a pending issue in the attempt to reduce the incidence of premature mortality and disability due to cardiovascular disease, which is a reality worldwide and in the region of the Americas in particular.Despite having adequate diagnostic algorithms and efficient treatment schemes, the gap between medical knowledge and reality reveals the great difficulty in ensuring that patients follow recommendations. Adherence to treatment is a great challenge and a proper understanding of its dimensions is essential when designing strategies to improve control of AHT.It is clear that part of the solution is having adequate information and disseminating it, but actions that guarantee implementation are no less important. That is why clinical practice guidelines that try to address this problem are welcome. The recent publication of the World Health Organization's guidance on arterial hypertension is a clear example of this type of initiative.Implementation programs are arguably one of the biggest challenges in contemporary medicine. The development of multimodal interventions aimed at improving response capacity at the first level of care and promoting the development of integrated health services networks appears to be the most appropriate way to achieve adequate control of AHT.Scientific societies clearly play an important role in these initiatives by providing support and coordinating interactions among the different actors involved.

O diagnóstico, tratamento e controle adequados da hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) continua sendo uma questão pendente em nossa tentativa de reduzir a incidência de mortalidade cardiovascular prematura e a incapacidade. Essa é a realidade no nível mundial e, particularmente, na região das Américas.Apesar de algoritmos de diagnóstico adequados e esquemas de tratamento eficientes, a lacuna entre o conhecimento médico e a realidade nos mostra como é difícil que nossas recomendações sejam adotadas por nossos pacientes. A adesão representa um grande desafio, e uma compreensão adequada de suas dimensões é essencial ao se projetar estratégias para melhorar o controle da HAS.Claramente, a disponibilidade e a divulgação de informações adequadas é parte da solução, mas não menos importantes são as ações para garantir sua implementação. Portanto, acolhemos de bom grado as diretrizes de prática clínica que visam abordar esta questão. A recente publicação das diretrizes da Organização Mundial da Saúde sobre hipertensão arterial é um claro exemplo de tais iniciativas.Os programas de implementação são indiscutivelmente um dos maiores desafios da medicina contemporânea. O desenvolvimento de intervenções multimodais na atenção primária com o objetivo de melhorar sua resolutividade e promover o desenvolvimento de redes integradas de serviços de saúde parece ser a forma mais apropriada para atingir níveis adequados de controle da HAS.Estamos convencidos do importante papel que nossas sociedades científicas desempenham nestas iniciativas ao prestar apoio, suporte e articulação aos diferentes atores envolvidos.

RESUMO

Resumen La Política de Atención Integral en Salud (PAIS) con sus marcos estratégico y operativo, busca ser garante del derecho a la salud en Colombia. Dado que la fase de implementación de toda política es considerada como crítica para el cumplimiento de los objetivos, resulta válida la mirada de actores en la cotidianidad laboral en salud de un territorio. Objetivo: describir el proceso de implementación de la PAIS percibido desde sus actores y las particularidades territoriales del departamento del Cauca. Materiales y métodos: investigación de perspectiva cualitativa que adopta el estudio de caso y como referente, el modelo analítico de Subirast. Se realizaron 14 entrevistas semiestructuradas a líderes de procesos, se revisaron 47 documentos de planeación y se complementó información con un diario de campo. Resultados: el proceso de implementación de la PAIS permitió avances desde algunos elementos del marco estratégico y operativo, sin embargo, los participantes vivencian limitaciones en la adopción de la atención primaria, la autoridad sanitaria y la articulación de actores. El talento humano en salud es fundamental en la política, sin embargo, su permanencia en territorio es discontinua. Conclusiones: el limitado trabajo interinstitucional, las prácticas clientelares, la débil autoridad sanitaria y la falta de estructuras de gestión acorde a la PAIS, conducen a pensar en la necesidad de acrecentar capacidades y recursos para nivelar la comprensión y operación de estrategias contemplados en la política. Se insiste en la debilidad estatal para hacer efectiva la regulación, el control y la vigilancia de los actores en salud.

Abstract With its strategic and operational frameworks, the Comprehensive Health Care Policy (PAIS for its acronym in Spanish) seeks to guarantee the right to health in Colombia. Given that the implementation phase of any policy is considered critical for the fulfillment of its objectives, the perspective of actors in the daily health work of a territory is valid. Objective: To describe the process of implementation of PAIS as perceived by its actors and the territorial particularities of the Department of Cauca. Materials and methods: Research from a qualitative perspective adopting the case study and, as a reference, the Subirast analytical model. Fourteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with process leaders, 47 planning documents were reviewed and information was complemented with a field diary. Results: The PAIS implementation process allowed progress from some elements of the strategic and operational framework. However, participants experience limitations in the adoption of primary care, the health authority and the articulation of actors. Human talent in health is fundamental in politics. However, its permanence in territory is discontinuous. Conclusions: The limited inter-institutional work, the clientelist practices, the weak health authority and the lack of management structures according to PAIS, lead to think about the need to increase capacities and resources to level the understanding and operation of strategies contemplated in the policy. The weakness of the State to make effective regulation, control and surveillance of health actors is emphasized.

RESUMO

Introducción. Los errores en prescripción médica (EPM) son la causa más frecuente de errores prevenibles. El empleo de sistemas de prescripción informatizada (PI) contribuiría a disminuir el error y a mejorar la calidad de atención. Objetivos. Evaluar el efecto de la PI en la prevalencia de EPM y eventos adversos (EA) relacionados en pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados. Evaluar la adherencia, aceptabilidad y apropiabilidad de la herramienta por parte de los usuarios. Método. Diseño híbrido, descriptivo y cuasiexperimental tipo antes-después. Se incluyeron prescripciones médicas de pacientes hospitalizados, calculando la prevalencia de EPM y EA relacionados, en los períodos pre-y pos implementación de la PI en un hospital pediátrico (HP) y en uno general (HG) que se tomó como control. Se evaluó la adherencia mediante la proporción de las PI sobre las totales registradas en el período posimplementación. Se evaluó la aceptabilidad y apropiabilidad de la implementación por encuesta a los usuarios. Resultados. Al comparar la prevalencia de EPM pre- y posimplementación en el HP, se observó una disminución estadísticamente significativa en los dos hospitales: HP 29,1 versus 19,9 EPM/100 prescripciones (OR: 1,65; IC95 %: 1,34-2,02; p < 0,01). En el HG 24,9 versus 13,6 EPM/100 prescripciones (OR: 2,1; IC95 %: 1,5-2,8; p < 0,01). La tasa de adherencia global a la PI fue del 83 %. La implementación presentó aceptabilidad y apropiabilidad satisfactoria. Conclusión. La prevalencia de EPM se redujo un 30 % posimplementación. La adherencia global a la herramienta fue satisfactoria

Introduction. Prescription errors are the most common cause of preventable errors. Electronic prescription (EP) systems may help to reduce errors and improve the quality of care. Objectives. To assess the effect of EP on the prevalence of prescription errors and related adverse events (AE) among hospitalized pediatric patients. To assess EP adherence, acceptability, and suitability among users. Method. Hybrid, descriptive, and quasi-experimental, before-and-after design. Prescriptions made to hospitalized patients were included, estimating the prevalence of prescription errors and related AE in the pre- and post- EP implementation periods at a children's hospital (CH) and a general hospital (GH) used as control. Adherence was assessed based on the proportion of EP among all prescriptions registered in the post-implementation period. The acceptability and suitability of EP implementation was assessed via a user survey. Results. The prevalence of prescription errors pre- and post-EP implementation at the CH was compared and a statistically significant reduction was observed in both hospitals: CH: 29.1 versus 19.9 prescription errors/100 prescriptions (OR: 1.65; 95% CI: 1.34-2.02;p < 0.01). GH: 24.9 versus 13.6 prescription errors/100 prescriptions (OR: 2.1; 95% CI: 1.5-2.8; p < 0.01). The rate of overall adherence to EP was 83%. The implementation of EP was adequately acceptable and suitable. Conclusion. The prevalence of prescription errors reduced 30% after the implementation of EP. The overall adherence to EP was adequate.

RESUMO

RESUMEN El adecuado diagnóstico, tratamiento y control de la hipertensión arterial (HTA) continúa siendo una asignatura pendiente en nuestro intento de reducir la incidencia de mortalidad cardiovascular prematura y discapacidades, siendo esta una realidad a nivel mundial y particularmente cierta en la región de las Américas. A pesar de contar con adecuados algoritmos diagnósticos y eficientes esquemas de tratamiento, la brecha entre el conocimiento médico y la realidad nos muestra la gran dificultad para que nuestras recomendaciones sean adoptadas por nuestros pacientes. La adherencia representa un gran desafío y la adecuada comprensión de sus dimensiones resulta básico al momento de diseñar estrategias para mejorar el control de la HTA. Es claro que disponer y diseminar información adecuada es una parte de la solución, pero no menos importante son las acciones que garanticen su implementación. Es por lo que damos la bienvenida a guías de práctica clínica que intenten abordar esta problemática. La reciente publicación de guía de la Organización Mundial de la Salud en hipertensión arterial es un claro ejemplo de este tipo de iniciativas. Los programas de implementación posiblemente sean uno de los mayores desafíos de la medicina contemporánea. El desarrollo de intervenciones multimodales en el primer nivel de atención con el objetivo de mejorar su capacidad resolutiva y promover el desarrollo de redes integradas de servicios de salud, impresiona ser el camino mas adecuado para alcanzar niveles adecuados de control de la HTA. Estamos convencidos del importante rol que nuestras sociedades científicas tienen con estas iniciativas dando apoyo, soporte y articulando la interacción con los diferentes actores involucrados.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To show the implementation process of IPT-G in primary care, including facilitating and obstructing factors, implementation strategies, and training and supervision of primary care professionals. METHODS Quantitative (cross-sectional and longitudinal) analysis of pre and post-knowledge tests; qualitative analyses of the training courses; patient recruitment; conduction of IPT-G sessions; supervision of IPT-G therapists; application of a semi-structured questionnaire to assess, investigate, and develop strategies against the identified barriers. RESULTS About 120 clinicians answered the pre-test; 84 completed the post-test. Pre- and post-test scores of IPT-G knowledge were significantly different. Twenty initially trained clinicians completed additional supervision in IPT-G. Qualitative analysis identified twelve barriers and six facilitators to IPT-G implementation in individual, organizational, and systemic contexts. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of IPT-G in primary care is a complex process with several steps. In the first step, health professionals were successfully trained in IPT-G. However, subsequent steps were more complex. Therefore, careful planning of IPT-G implementation is essential to maximize the success of this innovation.

RESUMO

Abstract Background: hip fracture is the major cause of morbidity and mortality. Geriatric fracture programs promise to improve the quality of care, health outcomes and reduce costs. Objective: To describe the results related to the Geriatric fracture programs implementation in two Colombian institutions to assess reproducibility. Methods: We performed A retrospective descriptive study of the patients treated under the Geriatric fracture programs in two institutions in Colombia. The information was collected from the initial year of implementation until 2018. Demographic characteristics, length of stay, hospitalization complications, readmissions and mortality were described. Consumption of healthcare resources was defined using base cases determined with local experts and costs were estimated using standard methods. Results: 475 patients were included in the Geriatric fracture programs. We observed an increase in the number of patients. The length of stay decreased between 8.5% and 26.1% as did the proportion of total complications, with delirium having the greatest reduction. A similar situation was seen for first year mortality (from 10.9% to 4.7%), in-hospital deaths and readmissions. Estimates of costs of stay and complications showed reductions in all scenarios, varying between 22% and 68.3%. Conclusions: The present study presents the experience of two institutions that implemented the Geriatric fracture programs with increase in the number of patients treated and reductions in the time of hospital stay, the proportion of complications, readmissions, mortality and estimated costs. These are similar between both institutions and with other published implementations. This could hint that geriatric fracture program may be implemented with reproducible results.

RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to implement a model of permanent oral health care for oncopediatric patients and to observe its effects on severe oral mucositis and subsequent treatment interruptions. We performed a quasi-experimental study in the Pediatric Department of Napoleão Laureano Hospital, in the city of João Pessoa, Brazil. A integrated oral care was implemented by a dentistry team for prevention of comorbidities, such as infections, oral pain, oral function maintenance, oral mucositis, and interventions for lesions due to severe oral mucositis. The oral comorbidities were compared before and after the implementation. The duration of severe oral mucositis (SOM) before and after the interventions and the interruptions in treatment due to SOM were the main outcome measures. Permanent oral health care reduced the duration of SOM and reduced pediatric chemotherapy interruptions due to SOM by 81.8%.Conclusion: The permanent oral health care to offer to oncopediatric patients increased surveillance regarding oral comorbidities and reduced chemotherapy interruptions due to severe oral mucositis. This care plan could be adopted anywhere around the world. What is Known: • Several studies on oral care for pediatric oncology patients, especially regarding both prevention of and treatment for oral mucositis during antineoplastic therapy, have been published. What is New: • This study describes the benefits of permanent oral care with daily oral surveillance for pediatric patients, which reduced the duration of severe oral mucositis, increased surveillance and the efficiency in diagnostic for signs of oral mucositis, enabling early intervention, and decreased chemotherapy interruptions, contributing positively to the course of treatment.

RESUMO

AIM: The evidence of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of early intervention for psychosis (EIP) services has motivated their implementation worldwide. However, complex interventions of such EIP services require local adaptations to successfully match population needs and cultural differences. Latin America is a heterogenous region where EIP services are progressively being adopted. Our aim is to map such initiatives in the region with a focus on implementation outcomes. METHODS: A scoping review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines was conducted. International and regional databases were searched for publications describing EIP programmes in the region. Besides mapping the services, we described implementation outcomes based on the Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies Checklist. RESULTS: Ten articles describing seven EIP initiatives from the region were found. Four countries were represented: Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico. The implementation outcomes reporting was heterogenous, although it was possible to ascertain EIP services are feasible and adequate for the region's context. Also, there is some evidence of effectiveness in terms of reducing hospitalizations and improving symptoms. Information about fidelity measures was scarce and there was no information about costs or cost-effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS: Only a small proportion of Latin American countries have adopted EIP services. Although these programmes seem to be feasible and effective, data on other implementation outcomes, such as fidelity, cultural appropriateness, cost-effectiveness and affordability are not available. This might in part explain why this effective approach has not been yet scaled-up at nationwide levels.

RESUMO

Resumen: El intercambio de información entre los aplicadores de intervenciones en salud mental es esencial para garantizar la efectividad de la implementación de programas. El objetivo fue examinar cómo influyen factores individuales y grupales en el intercambio de información entre los implementadores de un programa de intervención psicosocial dirigido a víctimas de la guerra en Colombia. Se desarrolló un diseño exploratorio transversal. Fueron entrevistados 18 psicólogos, 22 trabajadores sociales, 10 promotores comunitarios y una enfermera. Se empleó el índice E-i y la visualización de vínculos interclase e intraclase. No existe tendencia homofílica en el intercambio de información entre las tres categorías profesionales. El empoderamiento predice las nominaciones recibidas en la red de solicitud de información (β = 0,296, p < 0,006). Ser central en la red de preferencia es el principal predictor de la recepción de peticiones de información (β = 0,562, p < 0,0001). Los profesionales empoderados y aquellos que intercambian información sobre el proceso de implementación son considerados informantes clave que pueden mejorar la efectividad del programa.

Abstract: The exchange of information between appliers of mental health interventions is essential to guarantee effective program implementation. The study aimed to examine how individual and group factors influence the exchange of information among the implementers of a psychosocial intervention program targeted to victims of the war in Colombia. A cross-sectional exploratory design was developed. Interviews were held with 18 psychologists, 22 social workers, 10 community promoters, and a nurse. The study used the E-i index and the visualization of interclass and intraclass links. There is no homophilic tendency in the exchange of information among the three professional categories. Empowerment predicts the nominations received in the request for information network (β = 0.296, p < 0.006). To be central in the preference network is the principal predictor of receiving requests for information (β = 0.562, p < 0.0001). Empowered professionals and those who exchange information on the implementation process are considered key informants that can improve the program's effectiveness.

Resumo: A troca de informações entre os profissionais envolvidos nas intervenções de saúde mental é fundamental para garantir a efetividade da implementação de programas. O objetivo aqui era analisar a maneira como fatores individuais e de grupo influenciam a troca de informações entre os implementadores de um programa de intervenção psicossocial, dirigido a vítimas da guerra na Colômbia. Foi desenvolvido um desenho de estudo exploratório transversal. Foram entrevistados 18 psicólogos, 22 trabalhadores sociais, 10 agentes comunitários e uma enfermeira. Foram utilizados o índice E-i e a visualização de vínculos interclasse e intraclasse. Não existe tendência homofílica na troca de informações entre as três categorias profissionais. O empoderamento prevê as denominações recebidas na rede de solicitação de informação (β = 0,296, p < 0,006). Ser central na rede de preferência é o principal preditor da recepção de pedidos de informação (β = 0,562, p < 0,0001). Os profissionais empoderados e aqueles que trocam informações sobre o processo de implementação são considerados informantes chaves que podem melhorar a efetividade do programa.

RESUMO

AIM: Building strategies for the country-level dissemination of Kangaroo mother care (KMC) to reduce the mortality rate in preterm and low birth weight babies and improve quality of life. KMC is an evidence-based healthcare method for these infants. However, KMC implementation at the global level remains low. METHODS: The international network in Kangaroo mother brought 172 KMC professionals from 33 countries together for a 2-day workshop held in conjunction with the XIIth International KMC Conference in Bogota, Colombia, in November 2018. Participants worked in clusters to formulate strategies for country-level dissemination and scale-up according to seven pre-established objectives. RESULTS: The minimum set of indicators for KMC scale-up proposed by the internationally diverse groups is presented. The strategies for KMC integration and implementation at the country level, as well as the approaches for convincing healthcare providers of the safety of KMC transportation, are also described. Finally, the main aspects concerning KMC follow-up and KMC for term infants are presented. CONCLUSION: In this collaborative meeting, participants from low-, middle- and high-income countries combined their knowledge and experience to identify the best strategies to implement KMC at a countrywide scale.

RESUMO

Objective: to identify and analyze the concepts of the realist evaluation and the methodologies recommended for its development in the health area. Method: an integrative review, which included theoretical and methodological studies published in the following databases: COCHRANE Library, EVIPNet, Health Systems Evidence, LILACS, PDQ-Evidence, PubMed, Rx for Change, and SciELO, in addition to Teses-CAPES and Google Scholar, for the gray literature. The mediation category underlay the analysis. Results: 19 references were included, published between 1997 and 2018. It is an innovative proposal to direct the process of evaluating health programs, interventions, and/or policies, with the democratic participation of the parties involved, such as users, workers, managers and researchers; it proposes to elaborate theories about what works, for whom, in what context, and how. The mediation category indicated the need for these theories not to be restricted to the micro-context, but to incorporate the elements of the social macro-structure to which they are connected. Conclusion: It is indicated that the realist evaluation is to be conducted in 21 stages. It takes into account qualitative and procedural methods, which makes it powerful for understanding human and social relationships in the context analyzed. Theories that come from evaluating the functioning of the programs analyzed have greater explanatory chances if they are built by reference to the social totality.

Método: revisão integrativa, que incluiu estudos teórico-metodológicos publicados nas seguintes bases de dados: COCHRANE Library, EVIPNet, Health Systems Evidence, LILACS, PDQ-Evidence, PubMed, Rx for Change, SciELO, além de Teses-CAPES e Google Acadêmico, para a literatura cinza. A categoria mediação fundamentou a análise. Resultados: foram incluídas 19 referências, publicadas entre 1997 e 2018. Trata-se de proposta inovadora, para direcionar o processo de avaliação de programas, intervenções e/ou políticas de saúde, com a participação democrática das partes envolvidas, como usuários, trabalhadores, gestores e pesquisadores; propõe-se a elaborar teorias sobre o que funciona, para quem, em qual contexto e como. A categoria mediação indicou necessidade de que essas teorias não se restrinjam ao microcontexto, mas incorporem os elementos da macroestrutura social aos quais estão conectados. Conclusão: indica-se que a avaliação realista seja feita em 21 etapas. Ela toma em consideração métodos qualitativos e processuais, o que a torna potente para compreender as relações humanas e sociais no contexto analisado. As teorias que advêm da avaliação sobre o funcionamento dos programas analisados têm maiores chances explicativas se forem construídas por referência à totalidade social.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To describe the implementation status of the Community-Based Rehabilitation in Chile. METHODS Quantitative, transversal and descriptive study. The scope was constituted by the 66 community-based rehabilitation centers in the Chilean Metropolitan Region that implemented Community-Based Rehabilitation until December 2016. The sampling was based on a census method, so all the community centers were contacted. A self-administered questionnaire designed based on the Community-Based Rehabilitation matrix defined by the World Health Organization was applied. The questionnaire was answered on-line by the coordinators of the strategy in their respective centers. The data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS A heterogeneous level of implementation of Community-Based Rehabilitation was identified, specifically in terms of the components of the matrix described by the World Health Organization. The most implemented component was Health; the Social, Livelihood and Empowerment components were moderately implemented; and the Education component was the least implemented. CONCLUSION The implementation of Community-Based Rehabilitation is mainly based on the Health component. The level implementation of the other components of the matrix needs to be increased, as well as interdisciplinary and intersectoral strategies to achieve greater social inclusion of people with disabilities.

El muestreo tuvo intención censal, por lo que se contactaron todos los centros comunitarios. Se aplicó un cuestionario autoadministrado diseñado con base a la matriz de Rehabilitación Basada en la Comunidad definida por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. El cuestionario fue respondido on-line por los coordinadores de la estrategia en sus respectivos centros. El análisis de datos se realizó utilizando estadígrafos descriptivos. RESULTADOS Se identificó un nivel heterogéneo de implementación de la Rehabilitación Basada en la Comunidad, específicamente en cuanto a los componentes de la matriz descrita por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. El componente más implementado fue Salud; los componentes Social, Subsistencia y Fortalecimiento fueron medianamente implementados; y el componente Educación fue el menos implementado. CONCLUSIÓN La implementación de la Rehabilitación Basada en la Comunidad se basa principalmente en el componente Salud. Se requiere aumentar el nivel de implementación de los otros componentes de la matriz, así como de estrategias interdisciplinarias e intersectoriales para lograr una mayor inclusión social de las personas con discapacidad.

RESUMO

The univocal identification of people is fundamental for the longitudinal monitoring of health status. The impossibility of all people to credit their identity via their identity document generates temporary records that make it difficult to record the continuity of care. This paper analyzes the Patient Index of the Ministry of Health of the Buenos Aires City and describes how the age and nationality variables influence the creation of temporary records.
