RESUMO

Introduction: The shift change in the nursing care process, primarily located in hospital settings, is carried out through the transfer of verbal, written and gestural information from the interaction between nursing staff. The theoretical reference is from Elton Mayo's human relations. Objective: To understand and interpret the meaning of the nursing staff's experiences regarding the environmental factors involved during the shift change. Methodology: Qualitative study carried out with the phenomenological method. The information was obtained through non-participant observation and a semi-structured interview with operational nursing staff. Data saturation was reached with 32 interviews. Results: 7 categories were constructed: Verbal/language communication, Patient reception, Patient safety, Continuous care, Administrative documents, Shift change hours, and Work supplies. Conclusions: The findings show the various factors that interact and intervene between nursing staff during the shift change, which is an essential activity to provide continuity of care and guarantee safety in patient care.

RESUMO

Introducción: Para lograr el control de la hipertensión arterial se requiere de la vigilancia de sus factores de riesgo, del manejo integral de la enfermedad y la eliminación de brechas que atentan contra la calidad del proceso de atención. Objetivo: Identificar las principales brechas que afectan el proceso de atención de las personas hipertensas en un área de salud del municipio Guanabacoa durante el periodo 2016-2017. Métodos: Se realizó una investigación descriptiva transversal, se aplicó un muestreo por conglomerado bietápico. En una primera etapa de los 41 consultorios se seleccionaron 10, y de estos se seleccionaron aleatoriamente las familias, quedando conformada la muestra por 1458 familias. Se entrevistaron 2297 personas mayores de 35 años. Resultados: El 42,5 por ciento de los entrevistados tenía antecedentes de hipertensión arterial, el 3,0 resultó presunto hipertenso, en el 54,5 por ciento no se encontraron evidencias. Existieron dificultades con la atención de estas personas, dado por problemas organizativos, de funcionamiento del sistema y de comportamiento individual. Las principales brechas fueron en el acceso (36,3 por ciento, seguimiento (28,5 por ciento) y control (17,5 por ciento). El 97,6 por ciento tenía indicado tratamiento farmacológico y el 28 por ciento de los no controlados en el momento de la medición de la presión arterial no estaban adheridos. Conclusiones: Las brechas relacionadas con el acceso a los servicios de salud, diagnóstico, seguimiento, tratamiento y control de los hipertensos, cuyo elemento común es la no búsqueda de atención, repercute en la calidad de la atención(AU)

Introduction: To achieve the control of high blood pressure requires the monitoring of its risk factors, the comprehensive management of the disease and the elimination of gaps that hamper the quality of the care process. Objective: Identify the main gaps that affect the care process of hypertensive people in a health area of Guanabacoa municipality during the period 2016-2017. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive research was conducted, and a two-stage conglomerate sampling was applied. In a first stage of the 41 family doctor´s offices, 10 were selected, and of these families were randomly selected, with the sample being made up of 1458 families. 2297 people over 35 years old were interviewed. Results: 42.5 percent of the interviewees had a history of high blood pressure, 3.0 percent were suspected hypertensives, in 54.5 percent no evidence was found. There were difficulties with the care of these people, given by organizational problems, system functioning and individual behavior. The main gaps were access (36.3 percent), follow-up (28.5 percent) and control (17.5 percent). 97.6 percent had an indicated drug treatment and 28 percent of those not controlled at the time of blood pressure measurement were not attached. Conclusions: Gaps related to access to health, diagnostic, follow-up, treatment and control services for hypertensive in which the common element is care´s non-seeking have an impact on the quality of care(AU)

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to identify sociodemographic factors associated with attrition in the 3 steps of the HIV continuum of care related to the 90-90-90 targets - access to diagnosis, treatment initiation, and virologic suppression, in Brazilian adults (15 years or older), in 2016.Programmatic data were obtained from 2 information systems from the Brazilian Ministry of Health, which register all antiretroviral therapy (ART) dispensations and all CD4 and viral load counts (VL) performed within the country's public health system. The 3 attrition indicators were late presentation to care, defined as a first CD4 count <350 cells/mm among ART-naive individuals who performed a first CD4 count in 2016; not being on ART, defined as having no recorded dispensation within the last 100 days of the year, among those who were linked to care in 2016; and not being virologically suppressed, defined as having the last recorded VL >200 copies/mL in 2016, among those with a recorded VL count who were on treatment for at least 6 months. Association of sociodemographic factors with these indicators was analyzed by unconditional logistic regression analysis.Lower educational level and black/brown/indigenous race/color were associated with worse outcomes in the 3 indicators. Environmental indicators, namely the region, size, and social vulnerability index of the municipality of residence, also played an important role in the models. Younger age was strongly associated with not being on ART and not showing virological suppression.Our findings help identify the barriers in the different stages of the HIV continuum of care, which need to be addressed in order to progress toward the achievement of the 90-90-90 targets.

RESUMO

The post-trial access to investigational drugs has been the object of discussion since the late 1980s at least, initially linked to trials carried out in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and, particularly, in developing countries, where the concern with patient vulnerability is more important. National and international guidelines do mention the subject; however, the complexity of the issue is not easily addressed and usually requires additional and specific discussions. The decision on providing the investigational drug after the trial shall rest on at least two dimensions: efficacy and safety assessments, as the new drug is still on the experimental phase. Each clinical trial shall have its own assessment, taking into account the disease being studied, as well as the study population and their specific needs. Therefore, the nature of post-trial obligations cannot be considered the same in all situations and contexts; nevertheless, it should be assured that the relationship developed between investigators and patients during the study must be always terminated with respect and responsibility.

RESUMO

El pase de guardia se puede definir como la transmisión de la información referida a un paciente, su diagnóstico y tratamiento, cada vez que la responsabilidad de su atención se delega a otro/a enfermero/a. Es uno de los medios de coordinación intraservicio que utiliza enfermería con el objetivo de programar, administrar y evaluar el cuidado de los pacientes. Es importante tener claridad en el mensaje que se quiere transmitir, qué es relevante, para evitar la dispersión en información accesoria que sólo brindará confusión a quien escucha. Es una forma de transmisión oral que permite a los profesionales garantizar la continuidad y homogeneidad del cuidado
