Biossegurança e a saúde do trabalhador na assistência a pacientes em tratamento onco-hematológico

In recent years, the biosafety has been made possible a new look which are based the conceptions of health and illness process, as well as human needs. This new vision is focused on health vigilance that is referenced specifically in this study to the worker s health. The health of workers is essential for the prevention and control of epidemics and outbreaks of diseases as well as emerging and reemerging diseases. The present study wants to show the importance of biosafety measures for health workers, showing them through the concepts in their daily work. It is also to direct the use of biosafety measures in the care of oncology and hematology patients care, because of its infection susceptibility. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the conceptions of health workers in the biosafety pratice to the patients in oncological and hematological treatment in an oncological institution in Natal / RN, as well as make a socio-demographic profile of these workers and to know their difficulties to adequate biosafety measures. METODOLOGIA: The research is exploratory descriptive with qualitative approach, using the technique of oral history. The use of this technique is justified for the possibility of analyze the conceptions of health workers in the face of biosafety measures. From the definition of analysis categories that have emerged in the study. The categories were: daily work, education, occupational risk and onco-hematological care. The research population was the health workers who provide care to patients in oncological and hematological treatment. The study was conducted in the League against Cancer, in Natal / RN, specifically in the unit Luiz Antonio Hospital. Data collections were conducted from June to August of 2011 and were interviewed sixteen employees who assist in oncology and hematology. Structured interviews were conducted in three shifts, given the prospects of expanding the possibilities of analysis of the biosafety concepts. After data collection, the interviews were analyzed qualitatively by the technique of oral history. This genre, thematic oral history is a modern resource used for preparation of documents, files and studies concerning the social experience of people and groups with the construction of a script prior to the interview moment (MEIHY, 2002). ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION: It was made a reflection about the concepts and practices of professionals who take care of patients in oncology and hematology as well as its relation to biosafety measures. The speech of employees revealed that the adoption has been very supportive of these standards, although some have been highlighted gaps in the understanding of employees in relation to biosafety and the proposed categories. CONCLUSION: The analysis of information showed that biosafety has been cited by employees as an immeasurable benefit to safety and occupational health. And the strengths marks in their understanding were: the excellence of care and safety in occupational diseases risk reduction and infections resulting from their work activities, despite some difficulties in adopting appropriate biosafety standards

O acolhimento como promoção da saúde entre pacientes com câncer

Cancer has been affecting people all around the world; disregard sex, ethnicity or social class. Despite the fact it is not always deadly, to be diagnosed and treated of cancer brings a lot of physical, emotional and social suffering, specially for those with less economic resources. Considering the complexity of the problem, there has been perceived that medical treatment is not enough to support cancer patients. There is an increasing understanding about their necessity of integral care, supposed to be given by a multidisciplinary health care equip that can consider all the different aspects involved in the illness process. Everyone has a particular way of been ill or healthy, and gives different meanings to the experienced events. The starting point of the research was the contact with a called work `group of shelter', developed with cancer patients by a multidisciplinary health care equip working on the LIGA Norte Riograndense Contra o Câncer. The research goal is to identify meanings people give to the shelter they receive in the group and to understand the way they experience the disease. Considering it singularity of this process, one worked with individually half-structuralized interviews, carried through with nine patients of the chemotherapy clinics and suck, that they had passed for the experience of the group of shelter, having approached getting ill, the treatment, the shelter and the recreation of the psychosocial processes (or not) after all this process. It was chosen as focus of analysis the creation of psychosocial processes and production of felt of these social actors through its discourse analysis perspective, boarded in accordance with the following thematic axles: the experience of the cancer, the shelter and recreation of the psychosocial processes the life. It was found that shelter has an extensive meaning going beyond the the group and involving others besides the multidisciplinary health care equip, and being important to give each patient the best possible benefit. It was also identified the importance of other social actors, such as relatives, friends and neighbors; added of religious faith, mentioned by all interviewees. It is to be considered the recovering capacity shown by eight interviewees, demonstrated by changing the way of interacting with others, getting new values and behaviors, and demonstrating more wisdom. We can consider the possibility of making this strategy to become part of the everyday practices of others health services working with cancer patients, what we think can help to minimize their suffering

Contribuições da arteterapia no cuidado com mulheres em tratamento do câncer de mama

Esta dissertação, fruto de uma experiência pessoal e profissional com a arte e do interesse por estudos e ações na área da oncologia, consistiu numa pesquisa-intervenção baseada em fundamentos da fenomenologia e da arteterapia gestáltica, que teve a finalidade de identificar contribuições da arteterapia no cuidado de mulheres em tratamento do câncer de mama, a partir dos significados atribuídos pelas participantes à experiência com o fazer criativo. A importância desse estudo esteve relacionada à necessidade de ampliação de estratégias terapêuticas voltadas para a promoção da saúde de indivíduos em tratamento do câncer. Por isso foi levada em consideração a existência de fatores psicossociais geradores de conflitos e sofrimentos para as mulheres durante o período de diagnóstico e tratamento da doença, bem como a condição feminina de submissão e enfrentamento do câncer de mama durante a história. Além disso, o trabalho fez referência às funções terapêuticas da arte e a importância da arteterapia em oncologia. A pesquisa foi realizada no Núcleo de Acolhimento do Enfermo Egresso - NAEE, onde se aplicou a metodologia denominada de Oficina Criativa, constituída pelas etapas de sensibilização, expressão livre, elaboração da expressão, transposição da linguagem e avaliação. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados os discursos e as criações das mulheres. Participaram 7 mulheres que estavam em tratamento para o câncer de mama, de 8 sessões de arteterapia, nas quais realizaram vivências corporais e atividades expressivas. A análise do tipo qualitativa constituiu-se com base nas expressões manifestas pelas informantes através da linguagem verbal e plástica durante a criação. O ambiente permeado pela escuta e acolhimento, favorecidos durante as oficinas, interpôs o processo terapêutico desta pesquisaintervenção, contribuindo para a resposta das mulheres em relação à experiência nas oficinas. Foi possível identificar uma riqueza de contribuições da arteterapia para o cuidado de mulheres com câncer de mama, no que se referiu a possibilidade de interação com o outro, ao desenvolvimento da capacidade de expressão, significação e ressignificação do vivido através do contato com o próprio potencial criativo e da aquisição de uma postura mais ativa das participantes para enfrentar as dificuldades da vida.

Estudo de um caso de tratamento de câncer com um produto alternativo às técnicas convencionais

This work consists of a case study, a qualitative methodology, which aims to show the effects of TIVALLEC, a supplement in vitamins, as an alternative treatment of cancer. This study had also the objective of evaluating one patient’s quality of life thirteen years after being diagnosed with an advanced prostate cancer, and having decided for an alternative treatment using TIVALLEC instead of conventional treatments, having obtained excellent results. An open interview was conducted with patient, evaluating various aspects of his life after the initial diagnosis and the chosen treatment. The answers were transcribed after being limitedly edited for readability. At the end of the study, with the support of recent literature, the interview allowed the conclusion that TIVALLEC was greatly effective, creating good quality of life and wellness for the patient during all the period of thirteen year after the diagnosis up to now. These alternative treatment results may be seen as demanding new studies to help cancer patients who embrace or not the conventional treatments

Inibidores de tirosina-quinase no tratamento de mastocitomas cutâneos em cães: revisão

The mast cell tumor (MCT) is the second most common type of tumor in dogs. It is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of mast cells in the skin. Treatment involves surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Recently, new treatment protocols have been developed, such as the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. With the increasing knowledge about the genome and the evolution of methods in molecular genetics, drugs with specific molecular targets are surely going to become promising therapeutic modalities in the near future. Besides being involved in the normal cell cycle, some studies suggest that tyrosine kinases have a fundamental role in neoplastic processes. Therefore, some strategies such as the development of antibodies anti-receptors for tyrosine kinases and small-molecule tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitors have been developed in an attempt to inhibit tumor development. The purpose of this review is to describe the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the treatment of mast cell tumors in dogs.

Processo de cuidar de um centro de tratamento oncológico

The objective was to understand the process of caring for a center for cancer treatment from the perspective of nurses and patients. This is a qualitative research, xploratory and descriptive, performed in a cancer treatment center in Natal / RN / Brazil. Data collection occurred between August 2013 and February 2014, being effected by means of two techniques: photographic record and projective interviews with nurses and patients. Social actors included in the study were ten professional nursing and ten patients admitted to the surgical department of the institution. The criteria used for inclusion of professionals were: be professional in the field of nursing, being an employee of the hospital, to be inserted in the scale of nurses of the institution at the time of data collection. For the patients were included who had preserved their cognitive abilities and who were hospitalized and at any stage of treatment. We used content analysis proposed by Bardin, for the analysis of material collected during projective interview. The research followed the ethical and legal principles that govern scientific research on human beings, being conducted by the project approval by the Research Ethics Committee of the Northern League Against Cancer Riograndense with 295 673 and look CAAE 16104313.0.0000.5293. Referring to nurses, they demonstrated different views about care, which sprouted from a holistic, multidisciplinary approach and welcoming, as well as linked to the performance of procedures and compliance with the requirements technicality. Furthermore, these subjects also showed that care unfolds through the actions of management in carrying out the records in the humanization of care by meeting the needs of the patient and ambience. Front of patients, it is noteworthy that, for them, care happens through attitudes of caring and professional approach, and by performing procedures, being mentioned as a careless lack of structure of the institution and the discomfort caused by this condition factors. It was evident also that the actors involved in the care, the perception of professionals and patients, are represented by nurses, doctors, psychologists, nutritionists, as well as kitchen assistants and cleaners; beyond family companion, the individual himself as responsible for their care and volunteer caregiver. In this opportunity, it is concluded 9 that an understanding of care from the perspective of nurses and patients involves broad issues ranging from perceptions of care that embraces a dynamic complex elements and attitudes imbued with meanings, in which those involved can assume both the role of carers as care beings, even a carefully tied to prescribed routines and performing procedures. Thus, the findings described refer to reflections on the care provided to cancer patients and whether this, in fact, translates principles of a humane practice

Processo de cuidar de crianças hospitalizadas com câncer

The objective was to understand the process of care in the perception of hospitalized children with cancer. This is a descriptive study of qualitative approach. Data were collected between the months of October 2013 and January 2014, through photographic records and semi-structured interview consisting of questions relating to the identification of age, sex, diagnosis and length of stay and a script of questions related to the recorded pictures. Eight children were included aged between six and twelve who were admitted to a pediatric oncology sector, located in the city of Natal / RN. The criteria used in the sample were: being hospitalized for cancer treatment; and present favorable physical conditions for carrying out the data collection. For the treatment of collected material was used content analysis, thematic modality. The study followed the ethical and legal principles governing scientific research with human beings and took place with the approval of the project by the Ethics and Research Committee of the Northern League Riograndense against Cancer, with opinion registered under number 329 015 and CAAE 16097613.9.0000.5293. According to the results it was found that, for the child, the care happens through technical activities, such as making procedures and the use of personal protective equipment, as well as through the dialogic relationship, which favors the establishment of confidence in care professional. Caring also means developing activities that promote well-being, the fun and the social and cognitive development, highlighting thus the playful, during hospitalization, as an auxiliary tool in the care process. During hospitalization, the child identifies two individuals responsible for their care, accompanying family and professional, and nursing professionals the most cited in moments of care. , Also of note, the promotion of care, in the perception of the child related to the infrastructure of the institution, environmental cleaning, personal hygiene, the medicalization and the food. It is concluded that care understood by the child, whilst still maintaining relations with the biomedical model, points to a new perspective that should consider the biological, social and psychological of acquiring cancer without unlink them of the development child. 9 Moreover, we see the child as an active social actor in this process, and therefore needs to be heard and answered their needs

Estudo da correlação das características clínico-patológicas do câncer colorretal com a expressão imunohistoquímica de proteínas da progressão tumoral

Except the non-melanoma skin tumors, colorectal cancer is the second most common in the Southeastern Region of Brazil, the third most common in the Southern and Central Regions. It is also the forth most common in the Northern Region and it is the fifth one in the Northeastern. To assess pathological and clinical variables of colorectal Cancer is crucial to know the possible conclusions for the survival of patients and point out the characteristics in the progress of tumor, such as the profile of tumor invasion and its angiogenesis. This work focuses on analyzing clinically and pathologically some settings in colorectal cancer patients (CRC) in the city of Natal and its countryside through those variables as parameters of prognosis and determine the level of protein expression, for instance: E-cadherin (E-cad), beta- -catenin (β-cat), galectin-3 (gal-3), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 2 and 9 and vascular-endothelial growth factor alpha (α VEGF) in the tumor tissues. A retrospective study was done in colorectal cancer cases in the regions of Rio Grande do Norte state from 1995 to 2005, specifically in Natal city/RN/Brazil. The pathological and clinical variables, such as: age, gender, ethnicity, lifestyle, family history, the location of the primary tumor, level of differentiation, TDM staging, modified Dukes’, treatment and survival were analyzed. The pathological and clinical data were collected from medical records through a specific form and were filed on Excel. A total of 534 patients were selected from the Pathology Department file in this institution, however, 176 patients were excluded. 358 patients were included for Epidemiological analysis and its clinical and pathological correlations were selected. 180 patients were also selected for histological and immunohistochemical studies. The tumor progression of these selected proteins mentioned before were analyzed. The Paraffin blocks of these samples were treated by Microarray Tissue technique and its blades subjected to immunohistochemistry to test the intensity of these proteins in tumor tissues. The results of this analysis were correlated with clinicopathologic variables of patients. Statistical analysis using the chi-frame Pearson test and analysis of midlife by Kaplan-Meier curve was also utilized. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The average age of our sample was 58.8 years and 51.7 % were female. Alcohol consumption has increased by 1.71 time the risk of death by CCR (p = 0.034) and tobacco consumption increased 2.7 times the chance of developing tumors of high TNM stage (p = 0.001). Cancer patients had a family history of 3,833 times the chance of developing the CCR (p = 0.002). The expression of MMP-2 showed a significant association with tumors of high TNM stage (p <0.046) and mortality (p = 0.041). The α VEGF expression had statistically significant correlation with high TNM stage (p <0.009), degree of cell indifferentiation (p <0.025) and mortality (p <0.035). Expressions of E-cadherin and beta-catetina demonstrated tumor linked to high TNM stage (p = 0.0001) and Dukes› modified (p = 0.05), lesions in the rectum (p = 0.03 and p = 0.007, respectively), smoking (p = 0.05) and indifferentiation (p = 0.001). The expression of Gal-3 showed statistical significance with high TNM stage of patients (p = 0.01), smokers (p = 0.01), alcohol drinking (p = 0.03), indifferentiation (p = 0.0001) and mortality (p = 0.0001). Based on the results, therefore, we could realize that lifestyle and family history had correlation in the CCR prognosis, as well as MMP-2 expression, MMP-9, VEGF alpha, E-cadherin, Beta-catenin and Galectin-3 were important prognostic markers in tumor progression in colorectal cancer.

Melhoria no programa de prevenção e detecção precoce do Câncer de Colo de Útero e de Mama na USF das Quintas, em Natal/RN

De acordo com INCA (2014), no Brasil o câncer de mama e de colo de útero está entre as neoplasias com maior ocorrência no mundo, mesmo diante de tanta tecnologia avançada em relação ao diagnóstico e tratamento, ainda é vista pelas pessoas como uma sentença de morte. Os profissionais que atuam na área da saúde em atenção primária e secundária desenvolvem atividades básicas de saúde voltadas para a educação, prevenção e orientação da população a respeito dos exames de prevenção contra o câncer tanto de mama como de colo de útero. Este trabalho tem como objetivo qualificar o programa de prevenção do câncer de colo e detecção precoce do câncer de mama nas mulheres da Unidade de Saúde das Quintas em Natal/RN. A partir dos dados coletados, e da análise feita da própria unidade foi feito uma reflexão acerca de medidas que possam melhorar o funcionamento e organização para melhor atender a comunidade. Caracteriza-se como um projeto de intervenção, realizado por meio de observação com a participação dos pacientes que frequentam a unidade básica de saúde. Obtivemos resultados positivos na nossa intervenção com capacitação total 100% da equipe, cobertura 26% para câncer de colo de útero, citopatologia 19,4%, e 8,3% para câncer de mama, mamografia 9,3%, registros adequados para citopatologia 100% e mamografia 90,5%, nossos resultados nos faz perceber que a prevenção e o eixo para que a cada dia possamos obter mais resultados positivos e que a cobertura e a melhoria no serviço podem proporcionar um aumento nos resultados e um futuro com menos casos de câncer na nossa comunidade. De acordo com as observações, os trabalhos desenvolvidos pelos profissionais da área da saúde, ainda deveria haver maior divulgação das informações e principalmente de prevenção. Sugere-se que sejam criadas novas propostas para que os usuários que utilizam os serviços de saúde oferecidos pelas Unidades Básicas de Saúde, e os profissionais tenham maior acesso a capacitação para melhor se trabalhar as informações que abordem a prevenção/detecção do câncer de mama e do colo de útero.

Melhoria da Atenção à Prevenção do Câncer de Colo de Útero e Controle do Câncer de Mama, na UBS Ednaide Lopes da Costa, Rio Preto da Eva/AM

Estima-se que o câncer do colo do útero tem maior incidência na região norte e o câncer de mama é um dos mais incidentes em mulheres em todas as regiões do Brasil. Para reduzir a morbidade associada ao curso da doença e diminuir custos do sistema de saúde relacionados ao tratamento, a detecção precoce se apresenta como a principal arma na luta contra o câncer. Com isso, objetivou-se organizar e maximizar a ação programática prevenção do câncer de colo de útero e controle do câncer de mama na unidade básica de saúde Ednáide Lopes da Costa – Rio Preto da Eva/AM. Para tanto, foi realizado um projeto de intervenção durante 12 semanas envolvendo a equipe de profissionais da unidade e a comunidade, as atividades da intervenção ocorreram de acordo com o cronograma previamente elaborado pela enfermeira do Programa de Valorização da Atenção Básica, foram atendidas 130 mulheres entre 25 a 69 anos dentro do público alvo de aproximadamente 1479 mulheres residentes na área abrangente da unidade básica de saúde. A coleta de dados foi realizada mediante preenchimento das fichas-espelho durante consultas médicas e de enfermagem e os dados foram registrados na planilha de coleta de dados. Para a análise dos dados, examinaram-se os indicadores e gráficos descritos na planilha de coleta de dados disponibilizada pelo curso de especialização da Universidade Federal de Pelotas. Os resultados mostraram que muitas mulheres ainda têm receio de fazer os exames de papanicolau e mamografias. Nos três meses, apenas 7,4% da cobertura de detecção precoce do câncer do colo do útero e 8,7% da cobertura do câncer de mama foi alcançada. Com as ações de promoção à saúde e as consultas realizadas durante a intervenção 100% das mulheres cadastradas foram orientadas. Contudo, faz-se necessário um trabalho contínuo com a população, mantendo as atividades de melhoria propostas pelo projeto dentro da rotina da unidade básica de saúde.
