Use of oral rehydration therapy in the treatment of childhood diarrhoea in Douala, Cameroon

Introduction The use of oral rehydration solutions in our context remains limited. This study was conducted to analyze the rate of this use in Douala, Cameroon and thereby determine the factors associated with it. Method A cross-sectional survey was administered to parents of children aged five years and younger during a six-month study period. The studied variables focused on the socio-demographic data of the population, data on diarrhoea and its severity, data on oral rehydration salts (ORS), and data related to other interventions for diarrhoea. The chi-square test was used to qualify associations between variables, with the significance level being set at 5%. Results Overall, 672 people agreed to participate in the study. Among them, 418 (62.2%) correctly defined diarrhoea. When their children develop diarrhoea, the majority of the parents (348, 51.8%) reported seeking hospital assistance before any intervention, while 225 parents (33.5%) preferred the use of ORS first. Four hundred seventy-five parents (70.7%) had heard of ORS and among them 313 (65.9%) had actually given ORS to their children as treatment during these children’s most recent episodes of diarrhoea. Of the parents who had given their children ORS, 217 (69.3%) knew how to prepare it, and 122 (39.0%) knew how to administer it. One hundred thirty-five parents (20.1%) had administered metronidazole to treat their children’s diarrhoea. The age of the children, the parents’ level of education, and the number of children in the household significantly influenced the use or non-use of ORS (respectively, p < 0.001, p = 0.003 and p < 0.0001). Rehydration was correctly identified by 234 parents (34.8%) as the purpose of administering ORS. Conclusion The knowledge and the use of ORS in diarrhoea by the study sample was insufficient. The role of ORS was poorly known. Awareness campaigns can be carried out in order to improve the use of this effective intervention for diarrhoea.

Prevalence of surgical wound infection after surgery for breast cancer: systematic review

One of the known risk factors for abuse and neglect of the elderly is the decrease in functionat capacity, contributíng to self care dependency of instrumental actívities of daily living and basic activities of daily Itving (OMS, 2015). Methods: Cross-sectional study with non probabilistíc sample of 333 elderly, performed in a hospital, homes and day centers for the elderly. The data collectíon protocol tncluded socio-demographic data, Questíons to elicit Elder Abuse (Carney, Kahan B Paris, 2003 adap. By Ferreira Alves & Sousa, 2005), scale of instrumental actívi - ties of daily living Lawton and Brody and Katz index to assess the levei of independence in actívities of daily living. Objectives: To evaluate the assodation between abuse and neglect in the elderly, instrumental actívitíes of daily living and levei of independence in actívitíes of daily living. Results: Emotional abuse is signifícantty correlated with the levei of independence in activities of daity Uving (p = 0. 000), older peopie with less independence tend to have higher leveis of emotional abuse. The total abuse is signtficantly correlated with the leveis of independence in activittes of daily living (p = 0. 002), less independent elderty tend to suffer greater abuse and neglect. There were no statistically significant associations between abuse and neglect and instrumental activities of daily l1v1ng. Conclusions: The less independent elderly are more vulnerable to situatíons of abuse and neglect, being more exposed to emotional abuse. These results point to the need for health professionals/ nurses develop prevention interventions, including strategies to support carers and early screentng tn less independent elderly. Keywords: Elder abuse. Negligence. Nursing care. Frail elderly. PREVALENCE OF SURGICAL WOUND INFECTION AFTER SURGERY FOR BREAST CÂNCER: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW C. Amaral3, C. Teixeira"'1', F. Sousa'', C.

Contact details: catarinaisabeln.amaraliSsmaU.com Introduction: Breast câncer is one of the most common mahgnant pathology in European countries, as Portugal, where annual inddence is around 90 new cases per 100,000 women. Breast surgery is the usual treatment for this pathology, however such procedure can be complicated by the infection of surgical site. Objectives: To know the prevalence and determtnants of surgtcal wound infection after breast surgery. Methods: We conducted a systematic review by searching of the Web of Sdence electronic database for articles published over the last s1x years 1n developed countries. Over three hundred dtatíons were obtained and after excludtng citations with reasons, fíve artícles met our inclusion criteria and were included in the present review. Results: Prevalence of surgical wound infection varied across studies between 0. 1% and 12. 5%. Bilateral mastectomy is assodated with higher prevalence of wound infectíon than unilateral mastectomy (3. 6% vs 3, 3%), lumpectomy with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) is related with higher frequency of wound infectíon than surgery with no IBR (0, 5% vs 0, 1%), also, mastectomy with IBR is associated with higher prevalence of wound infectíon than mastectomy wtth no IBR (1, 5% vs 0, 3%) and breast surgery followed by axiltary lymph nade dissectíon is related with higher prevalence of wound infection than surgical procedures wtth no axillary lymph node dissection (2, 82% vs 1, 66%). Conclusions: Nurses that provide post-operatíve care to women after breast surgery should be aware about risk of wound tnfectíon, partícularly after more invasive procedures.

Câmara dos Deputados : democracia e igualdade de oportunidades entre mulheres e homens?

Esta pesquisa analisou as oportunidades das mulheres em termos de igualdade na ocupação de cargos de alta chefia na Câmara dos Deputados. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada entre novembro de 2005 e janeiro de 2006 e a amostra abrangeu 1.320 participantes. A Escala de Percepção de Igualdade de Oportunidades entre Mulheres e Homens foi aplicada para analisar a atitude dos servidores quanto a possibilidades e limites de ascensão da mulher na estrutura de cargos da organização. A escala constava de 34 itens, com respostas tipo Likert, e 6 itens sobre dados demográficos. A coleta de dados foi feita pela rede interna de computadores da Câmara dos Deputados, através de e-mail enviado aos 3.597 servidores do quadro efetivo. Os dados foram submetidos à análise dos componentes principais (ACP), rotação promax, com resultados meritórios (KMO = 86,0; Bartlett: 14894,879), para 4 fatores. Observaram-se diferenças entre mulheres e homens quanto aos escores obtidos. As oportunidades de ocupar cargo de alta chefia são menores para elas do que para eles. Há mais gerentes do sexo masculino, e os servidores, especialmente as mulheres que não ocupam posto de chefia, percebem que não há igualdade de oportunidades entre funcionários de ambos os sexos. ___________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT

Relatório de Estágio - Intervenção realizada na comunidade idosa da freguesia de Valhascos e Alcaravela

O conceito de qualidade de vida no idoso é de extrema importância no momento, muito devido ao envelhecimento da população e á permanência na vida ativa até mais tarde, com implicações importantes na necessidade de cuidadores para esta população que muitas vezes não existem. Tentar responder à aparente contradição que existe entre velhice e bem- estar, ou à associação ente velhice e doença, pode contribuir para que o envelhecimento seja um aspeto central, devendo ser promovido quer a nível individual, quer a nível coletivo. O principal objetivo deste trabalho centra-se essencialmente na descrição e análise das competências adquiridas em estágio, de acordo com as atividades realizadas seguindo as fases do planeamento em saúde, designadamente: o diagnóstico de saúde da comunidade idosa da freguesia de Valhascos e Alcaravela, e intervenção realizada nessa mesma comunidade, à luz das competências do Enfermeiro Especialista em Saúde Comunitária. Participaram no estudo 102 idosos com idades entre os 65 e 92 anos (M = 77,2); a residir nas freguesias de Valhascos e Alcaravela.Foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos de recolha de dados: Dados sociodemográficos; WHOQOL – Abreviado (versão Português); WHOQOL-OLD; e Esbala de BARTHEL. A metodologia do planeamento em saúde utilizada foi fundamentada essencialmente em Imperatori e Giraldes.

Bem-estar subjectivo: processos cognitivos e afecto positivo

O presente trabalho de investigação visa aprofundar o campo de estudo no âmbito do Bem-Estar subjetivo. Especificamente, propõe-se apreciar qual o papel do Processamento Cognitivo "Aberto" (e outras formas de Coping) na relação entre Satisfação com o Suporte Social e o Afecto Positivo e Negativo. A metodologia usada segue um método correlaciona/ quantitativo através do recurso ao software de análise estatística SPSS. As análises de regressão simples e múltipla mostraram que diferentes variáveis, como as cognitivas (Processamento Cognitivo "Aberto" e outras formas de Coping) e os pessoais e sócio-demográficas (Género e Grau de Escolaridade), se encontram associados aos níveis de Afecto, quer Positivo quer Negativo, e contribuem também de formas distintas para explicar a sua variabilidade. Para além disso, as mesmas relações parecem ser influenciadas pelos níveis de Saúde Mental dos participantes. Os resultados do presente estudo sugerem importantes implicações teóricas e práticas no âmbito da Saúde Mental. /ABSTRACT: This research work aims to deepen the field of study within the framework of Subjective Well-Being. Specifically, it proposes to assess the role of the Broad-Minded Coping (and other forms of Coping) in the relationship between Satisfaction with the Social Support and the Positive and Negative Affect. The methodology used follows a correlative quantitative method through the use of the statistical analysis software SPSS. Multiple and simple regression analyses showed that different variables, such as cognitive (Broad-Minded Coping and other forms of Coping) and personal and socio-demographic data (Gender and Scholarization), are associated with the levels of Affect, either Positive or Negative, and they also contribute differently to explain its variability. ln addition, these relationships seem to be influenced by the participants' Mental Health levels. The results of this study suggest important theoretical and practical implications in the context of Mental Health.

The Impact of a Classroom Performance System on Learning Gains in a Biology Course for Science Majors

This study was conducted to determine if the use of the technology known as Classroom Performance System (CPS), specifically referred to as “Clickers”, improves the learning gains of students enrolled in a biology course for science majors. CPS is one of a group of developing technologies adapted for providing feedback in the classroom using a learner-centered approach. It supports and facilitates discussion among students and between them and teachers, and provides for participation by passive students. Advocates, influenced by constructivist theories, claim increased academic achievement. In science teaching, the results have been mixed, but there is some evidence of improvements in conceptual understanding. The study employed a pretest-posttest, non-equivalent groups experimental design. The sample consisted of 226 participants in six sections of a college biology course at a large community college in South Florida with two instructors trained in the use of clickers. Each instructor randomly selected their sections into CPS (treatment) and non-CPS (control) groups. All participants filled out a survey that included demographic data at the beginning of the semester. The treatment group used clicker questions throughout, with discussions as necessary, whereas the control groups answered the same questions as quizzes, similarly engaging in discussion where necessary. The learning gains were assessed on a pre/post-test basis. The average learning gains, defined as the actual gain divided by the possible gain, were slightly better in the treatment group than in the control group, but the difference was statistically non-significant. An Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) statistic with pretest scores as the covariate was conducted to test for significant differences between the treatment and control groups on the posttest. A second ANCOVA was used to determine the significance of differences between the treatment and control groups on the posttest scores, after controlling for sex, GPA, academic status, experience with clickers, and instructional style. The results indicated a small increase in learning gains but these were not statistically significant. The data did not support an increase in learning based on the use of the CPS technology. This study adds to the body of research that questions whether CPS technology merits classroom adaptation.
