Manifestações psicomotoras do recém-nascido prematuro hospitalizado no laço mãe-bebê

Trata-se de um estudo de natureza qualitativa que investiga as manifestações psicomotoras de bebês prematuros (33 a 36 semanas de idade gestacional) hospitalizados, na relação mãe-bebê. A coleta as informações é a partir da observação participante e entrevista semiestruturada. O estudo desenvolve-se em uma Unidade de Internação Neonatal (UIN) de um hospital escola de Porto Alegre e tem como sujeitos de pesquisa seis bebês internados nesta unidade e suas mães. Do processo de análise de conteúdo origina-se quatro temas: “O imaginário e o vivido na gestação”; “A leitura das manifestações psicomotoras do bebê”; “A fragilidade do bebê com relação ao meio” e; “As expectativas futuras com relação ao bebê”. Do olhar do pesquisador sobre os bebês e suas mães, desvela-se o universo vivido por estes personagens em situação de internação. A importância do trabalho reside em instrumentalizar os profissionais com relação ao conhecimento e reconhecimento das produções dos bebês e favorecer o entendimento das mães sobre estas produções, enquanto mais um recurso de prevenção e atenção à saúde.

Fatores físicos-ambientais e organizacionais em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal: implicações para a saúde do recém-nascido

O ambiente de uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN) é, na maioria das vezes, estressante, tanto para os recém-nascidos (RN) internados, quanto para a equipe multidisciplinar. Conforme a gravidade destes bebês, maiores serão os riscos e seqüelas que poderão sofrer. Dessa forma, este trabalho constitui-se em uma apreciação ergonômica, a qual estudou os fatores físicos e ambientais de uma unidade intensiva e suas eventuais repercussões na saúde do recém-nascido. A metodologia utilizada caracterizou-se por uma abordagem ergonômica, sendo os instrumentos de coleta de dados por meio de observações sistemáticas (onde foram identificadas e analisadas as normas e as rotinas da UTIN, o perfil dos profissionais que constituiem a equipe multidisciplinar, além dos fatores físicos e ambientais). O local de estudo foi a UTIN do Hospital Municipal de Novo Hamburgo, e os resultados indicaram um ambiente muito iluminado, ruidoso e agitado. Além disso, os RN lá internados são bastante manuseados, sendo que a equipe se mostrou não orientada quanto aos riscos destes problemas. Como conclusão é importante reorganizar as formas de manuseio, treinar e orientar todos os profissionais da equipe multidisciplinar e readequar os fatores físicos e ambientais.

O exame neurológico do recém-nascido pré-termo não complicado: avaliação pela escala de saint-anne dargassies, e screening pelas escalas de amiel-barrier-shnider modificada e prechtl ao termo

This study compared the evolution of posture, tone and neonatal reflexes in preterm infants without clinical or neurological complications before and after the age of term using the scale of Saint-Anne Dargassies. To reach the age of the term, was applied Scales Amiel-Barrier-Shnider changed and the Prechtl, traditionally used in the evaluation of term newborns, looking for possible changes to the term, while also evaluating the sensitivity of these scales. We studied 20 non-complicated preterm infants, both sexes aged 32-36 weeks, born in Januário Cicco Maternity School, from August 2006 to August 2007. Was applied to the scale of Saint-Anne Dargassies every two weeks until reach the term, and the range of Amiel-Barrier-Shnider changed and the Prechtl, after reaching 39 and 41 weeks. The evaluation result of articular angles was subjected to the test of Friedman ANOVA, significant differences between the three measurements of the scale of Saint-Anne Dargassies only for angles heel-to-ear to term. Neonatal reflexes changed in the period of prematurity were the cardinal points reflexes, Moro reflexes, cross extensions reflex and the automatic walking reflexes. The posture was the parameter which remained unchanged in the three scales. Considering a significance level of 5% by applying Cochran Q Test, it was found that the scale of Saint-Anne Dargassies is more sensitive to detect suspects. With this methodology and the results it was possible to prepare a manuscript: The neurological examination of non-complicated preterm newborns using the Sanit-Anne Dargssies Scale from birth to term: normal or altered? In which we describe that despite the good clinical condition, the RNP show changes in tone and neonatal reflexes. These data are important because though non-complicated RNP need further attention its maturation process, enabling us to detect and intervene early. With these results we can build a scale simplified neurological assessment made with items found most altered during the application of three scales. The development of this project has a multidisciplinary approach, because it involved Paediatric Neurologist, Physiotherapist and Neonatologist, as recommended by PPGCSA

Atuação de técnicos de enfermagem junto ao recém-nascido com dor em uma unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal

The pain is a sensuous and emotional experience unpleasant associated or related to real injury or potencial of the tissues. It is considered an individual and subjective experience generally has been described in the literature about in the neonatal stage a lot. This study has descriptive and exploratory character with a qualitative approach. The study has with objectives to analyze the performance of the nursing technicians working with newborns admitted in the ITUN, seeking to describe the perception of the nursing technicians about the pain, identify the parameters used for the detection and evaluation of pain in them, trying to describe the ons of this team about the pain in the newborns in ITUN. The subjects are nine nursing technicians of the ITU of the Parenting School Januário Cicco in Natal-RN, engaged in direct assistance to newborns in the ITU, on the turn of the morning, which was prepared to participate in the search. The collection of the data was conducted through a structured interview with tree questions; through a non-participatory observation with a structured roadmap and were used to record and pass on call was also as a way of obtaining data. The start of the collection made after the assent of the Ethics Committee / UFRN in November, 2007. The speakings have been transcribed and data read extensively to obtain categories.The analysis of the content made in terms of Bardin. Emerged three main categories of significance: Perceptioning of pain in newborns; Caring for the newborns with pain; Registering the pain in the newborns. A nursing technicians identifies the pain in the newborns, for the most part, so empirical, using signs of behavioral or physiological changes in isolation, giving little emphasis to the environment and to respect that the newborns is inserted. It was found that the attitudes cited by subjects of the search before the newborns with pain, are for the most part non-pharmacological actions such as sucking nutrient not, a proper positioning and measures of comfort, however pharmacological actions have also been reported.These is also the absence of records of nursing records in the report of pain and actions to minimize them and, in records and for the passage of call. With this study we understand the role of the nursing technicians, and seek to contribute to subsidies for the practice of professionals involved in caring for this age group, and also in the search for a humane assistance to the newborns

Práticas institucionais/discursivas acerca dos cuidados com os bebês prematuros e/ou de baixo peso: o programa canguru

The Kangaroo Program was implemented in Brazil in 2000 through the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde SUS) sustained with a humanized rethoric of health care assistance. This program adopts the skin-to-skin contact contributing to the mother-infant bond, breastfeeding and promoting security in mother s care. The users of SUS are encouraged to live in the maternity ward to follow the baby health improvement. However, it was verified in previous observations that mothers participation in the Kangaroo Program has been done through an imposed practice. Therefore, this study intended to understand the texts that permeate the kangaroo practice. This research was developed through two studies: 1) an historic exploration of motherhood concept and an analysis of how the motherhood is presented in the official document that orients the program; 2) an analysis of institutional dynamic of Kangaroo Program, emphasizing the study about the health workers everyday practice, the mothers view about their life in the maternity wards, and the attendance practice. It is highlighted that the relation between this two studies allowed the comprehension abouthow the official discourses can influence the health workers behaviors and how their viewpoint and position can shape the everyday work in a public health program. This research, supported by Institutional Ethnography, considers that people s practices and experiences are socially organized and shaped by broad social forces. The discourse method was used in the documental analysis and in the analysis of qualitative data from empiric research. The research showed that the kangaroo program has been an excellent way to save resources and to improve some baby s biologic and psychological aspects. However, this program has failed to consider the social, economic and cultural complexity of mothers and the structural limitation of the health care system. The official document uses the economic and medical approach, following the hegemonic biomedical model and the life style of the people that don t use the public health system. Consequently, the program has not been successful because it is planned without people participation. On the other hand, it was verified that although some professionals are committed with their work, the mainly does not consider mothers participation as an active process, using the institutional power as a social control to keep mothers uninformed about the possibility to leave the maternity wards. As a result, the research also showed that mothers perceive the program as mandatory and not as option that can improve pleasure moments. It is, therefore, necessary to consider the complex social determinants of health that can increase mothers participation in the Kangaroo Program. Bringing these issues into debate can be a reflective exercise on citizenship and governance, allowing spaces for the improvement of public health programs

Avaliação da atenção ao recém-nascido de risco, na perspectiva de uma política pública de saúde

Objetivou-se avaliar a atenção à saúde de recém-nascidos de risco, acompanhados no primeiro ano de vida pelo Programa Crescer Feliz, desenvolvido em município do interior paulista. Trata-se de estudo epidemiológico populacional, do tipo avaliação de programa de saúde, que se baseou, para análise dos dados, nas diretrizes nacionais da Agenda de Compromissos da Criança. Os resultados evidenciaram a vulnerabilidade institucional do programa, decorrente de problemas relacionados à estrutura e processo, com implicações nos resultados. Considerando a adequação dos critérios adotados pelo programa, para definição dos recém-nascidos de risco e das intervenções e estratégias propostas, que se mostram em consonância com a Agenda de Compromissos, aponta-se a necessidade dos gestores priorizá-lo, inserindo-o, efetivamente, na política pública de saúde a ser desenvolvida no âmbito do município, para reversão da vulnerabilidade institucional identificada.
