O acolhimento no ambulatório de um hospital universitário na visão de usuários

This present study of quantitative/qualitative approach, aims to analyze the outpatient care at the Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes (HUOL), and, having as guide, the reception of the user. In this regard were invited and interviewed 20 users. Besides the interviews, conducted in a period of 45 days, in this same period of time was used a field diary for more significant notes of observations more significant. In the analysis, we drafted the socio-demographic profile of the group and identified their main complaints, problems and suggestions. For this, we have built graphics, tables and pictures, in addition to standing out their testimony, as a resource for better understanding of the subjective aspects. The theoretical reference consisted of documents from the Ministry of Health about the reception and humanization, and the studies of Merhy, Franco, Pinheiro, Matumoto, Mariotti, Teixeira, among others. The results show the ambulatory of HUOL as a privileged space and of credibility, where users commonly, find answers to their problems. However, these same users were unanimous in saying the difficulties they face in obtaining consultations, from the basic unit, until the hospital. Regarding the service, although they feel satisfied as for the assistance received, they list a series of problems, of structural relationship order: lack of visual signalling, information, wheelchairs, hygiene, in the waiting rooms that offer some comfort, besides the inattention of some professionals. In summary, in the study, undertaken now, we cannot say that there is in the reality studied, the reception, in its full meaning, but the HUOL as hospital-school, has all the potential to accomplish it

A família do paciente em situação crônica de vida: a visão de enfermeiros de um hospital de ensino

This exploratory descriptive study, of qualitative nature had the purpose to study how the nurses from a hospital school see the family as care participants. Six nurses from clinics of chronically ill patients were interviewed. The data analysis allowed to infer that the nurses had only little knowledge of the family's thematic during graduation, making the relationship with the accompanying families very difficult. Daily care during hospitalization period is marked by easy moments when members are willing to participate in the process, and by difficulties when they attempt to break institutional rules. It was suggested that new nurses have theoretical foundation to attend the family in several scenarios of care. It was considered the need of investments in professional training, and that the advance of humanization of services implies in exchange and integration of knowledge among patients, family members, health professionals, support staff and managers beyond the science field.

A educação escolar hospitalar: práticas pedagógicas docentes com crianças em tratamento oncológico no Hospital Ophir Loyola em Belém-PA

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo investigar as práticas pedagógicas docentes com crianças em tratamento oncológico no Hospital Ophir Loyola (HOL) em Belém, Pará. Optouse como estratégia de pesquisa pelo estudo de caso descritivo tendo como sujeitos seis professores que trabalham com crianças que fazem tratamento de saúde no referido hospital, os quais foram ouvidos por meio de entrevistas estruturadas. O estudo, em seu referencial teórico, buscou analisar a criança em tratamento oncológico e a educação escolar hospitalar em seus aspectos históricos, legais, didáticos e curriculares. Os dados coletados foram analisados pela técnica de análise de conteúdo, chegando-se às seguintes categorias temáticas: dinâmica de trabalho dos professores do HOL; práticas docentes com crianças em tratamento oncológico no HOL; dificuldades e facilidades nas práticas docentes no HOL e formação inicial e continuada dos professores do HOL. Após análise dessas categorias concluiu-se que a educação escolar do HOL desenvolve um saber sistematizado, devidamente planejado e adaptado às necessidades das crianças em tratamento oncológico. Os atendimentos pedagógicos são realizados em vários espaços, de acordo com as possibilidades e necessidades dos alunos. Quanto às dificuldades dos professores na execução de suas atividades, os docentes apontaram: o tempo de permanência da criança no hospital, a situação física e emocional do aluno, a falta de materiais didáticos, as dificuldades de memorização e atenção das crianças decorrentes das medicações, as interrupções das aulas para procedimentos clínicos diversos e a falta de tempo para planejamento das atividades, que interferem no processo ensino aprendizagem. Comprovou-se também a necessidade de maiores estudos sobre o cuidado da saúde emocional dos professores. No que diz respeito à formação inicial verificou-se que estes não tiveram nenhuma formação específica para trabalhar em ambiente não convencional de educação, mas que buscam formação contínua para dar conta das demandas que se apresentam nesse espaço. Os resultados da pesquisa poderão servir de referencial para a formação de professores e em estudos na área de educação e saúde, assim como concorrer para a ampliação de políticas públicas que beneficiem a educação escolar em ambiente hospitalar.

Funding and employment conditions : critical issues for Australian music therapy beyond 2009

As the Australian Journal of Music Therapy celebrates its 20th year of publication, it is evident that the profession of music therapy in Australia, has made substantial progress over these last 20 years. Jobs are regularly advertised on the website, there is a greater public awareness of what music therapy is, there are government recognised salary awards applicable in several states of the country, working conditions have generally improved, and many Australian music therapists are recognised on the international stage as leaders in their field of expertise. You can even go to a party and tell someone you are a music therapist and there is a good chance they will say 'oh yeah, I know someone who does that at the hospital / school / community centre / nursing home' instead of saying 'oh, so like, a what?'. Despite the impressive leaps and bounds that have been made, and the success of many programs in Australia to date, there is still a great deal of room for improvement. What are the critical issues ahead for the development of music therapy in Australia? In particular, how do music therapists develop going forward and secure funding for clinical initiatives? In reflecting on this question, this article identifies two key areas, amongst the many, that can be addressed by music therapists over the next 20 years: funding and employment conditions. Examples from the national early intervention music therapy program 'Sing and Grow' are used to illustrate the potential impact of addressing these two issues on the positive development of the profession into the future.

Fatigue damage initiation life prediction for heterogeneous metals

In particle-strengthened metallic alloys, fatigue damage incubates at inclusion particles near the surface or at the change of geometries. Micromechanical simulation of inclusions such that the fatigue damage incubation mechanisms can be categorized. As micro-plasticity gradient field around different inclusions is different, a novel concept for nonlocal evaluation of micro-plasticity intensity is introduced. The effects of void aspects ration and spatial distributions are quantified for fatigue incubation life in the high-cycle fatigue regime. At last, these effects are integrated based on the statistical facts of inclusions to predict the fatigue life of structural components.

Cold water immersion: Practices, trends and avenues of effect

Cold water immersion and ice baths are popular methods of recovery used by athletes. From the simple wheelie bin with water and ice, to the inflatable baths with complex water cooling units to recovery sessions in the ocean, the practice of cold water immersion is wide and varied. Research into cold water immersion was conducted as early as 1963 when Clarke1 examined the influence of cold water on performance recovery after a sustained handgrip exercise. Research has been conducted to understand how cold water immersion might affect the body’s physiological systems and how factors such as water temperature and the duration of immersion might enhance recovery after training and/or competition. Despite this research activity, how are we to know if research is being put into practice? In more serious situations, where guidelines and policies need to be standardised for the safe use of a product, one would expect that there is a straight forward follow-on from research into practice. Although cold water immersion may not need the rigor of testing compared to drug treatments, for example, the decision on whether to use cold water immersion in specific situations (e.g. after training or competition) may rest with one or two of the staff associated with the athlete/team. Therefore, it would be expected that these staff are well-informed on the current literature regarding cold water immersion.
