Trycksår : – undersköterskors kunskaper om att förebygga trycksår

Background and aims: The population of older people in our society is increasing. Agerelated changes in the skin results in a diminished perception of pain and pressure and a decreased microcirculation in the skin affects its ability to adapt to injury. Occurrence of pressure sore on geriatrikal clinics are 5-10%, witch means that between five and ten thousand patients gets daily treat for pressure sores. When the patient gets a pressure sore the need for help increases. A common apprehension is that if the patient’s affects with pressure sores it’s because of deficiency in care. According to the law, all nursing interventions should be performed according to scientific and evidence and the nurse’s assistants are responsible for how they perform. The aim of this study was to examine how much knowledge the nurses assistants in community care services has about preventing, predicting and locate riskfactors for pressure sores and if they get the right education. Methods: A questionnaire based on 20 questions was maid and used for this purpose. Out of 99 persons the questionnaires was answered bye 65 nurses assistants working in community care service in a small town in Sweden. Results: The results shown that the nurses assistants don’t use risk assessment scales in attempt to identify patients vulnerable to pressure sores and they are not well associated with the riskfactors. The study even shows that they have little knowledge in how to prevent pressure sores from appearing. The nursing model are some times out of date and the nurses assistants personal view attends to decide witch care they will perform instead of scientific and evidenced based nursing.

Por uma reforma dos sistemas horizontal e vertical de divisão de funções do Estado

Enquanto muito se discute nos meios acadêmicos no próprio Congresso Nacional teor das reformas política, tributária previdenciária, todas elas, aliás, fundamentais ao país, esta monografia aborda outras dimensões de reforma, relacionadas organização funcional do Estado Brasileiro. Assim porque exigência de um Estado eficiente responde não somente questão de sua legitimidade, mas é, hoje, no ambiente globalizado de intensa competição de constante instabilidade, imperativo do próprio desenvolvimento de uma nação, especialmente Brasil, que deve, paralelamente, enfrentar um enorme déficit social acumulado. Procura-se, então, discutir, numa visão prospectiva, uma nova divisão de funções entre os Poderes Executivo Legislativo, especialmente no que concerne produção normativa, cujo modelo atual, ainda fundado no dogma da reserva de lei, apresenta-se incapaz de responder com grau de agilidade e competência que se exige do Estado atual. Remanesce, obviamente, preocupação com preservação dos valores democráticos com contenção do poder do Executivo, que instruíram formação dos Estados constitucionais, mas monopolização, pelo Legislativo, da produção de normas gerais abstratas não fator imprescindível ao alcance de tais objetivos sequer corresponde ao modelo empiricamente em vigor no Brasil. No outro aspecto, da divisão vertical de funções determinada pelo modelo federativo brasileiro, aborda-se "crise de relacionamento" entre os Entes Federativos, que se nota na dificuldade de adoção de políticas públicas conjuntas, problema que mais se agrava ante justa demanda da sociedade em encontrar, para seus organismos, espaço de participação nessa mesma seara. Deixando parte algumas sugestões de reconfiguração federativa, com inclusão ou exclusão de Entes, presente estudo procura defender adoção de soluções institucionais para a concretização da cooperação entre os Entes e para participação da sociedade na busca do interesse público.

Responsabilidade social empresarial no mercado de seguros brasileiro: influências culturais e implicações relacionais

The Brazilian insurance market is the ambience in which this research study takes place in search for a better understanding of how cultural characteristics are related with organizational signs, practices and expectations on social responsibility. The concepts of social responsibility as well as the concept of culture are presented and discussed from different points of view, in accordance with different authors and trough several methodological approaches, in order to establish a coherent theoretical basis for qualitative data analysis. The phenomenological attitude assumed by the researcher in especial dialogues situations during the field research phase added new possibilities of apprehension or emergence of each studied organization self orientation in terms of pre-occupation with social issues intimately related with their insurance activities in the market place. Final reflections show the complexity of the insurance cultural context in the studied Brazilian segment, in which cultural and subcultural national and organizational singularities appear. However leaving space for common values and coherent orientation toward the peculiar understanding of social responsibility as inherent to any insurance company activities, themselves. Last comments point out that future research studies may give additional contribution for the continuity of the discussions initiated in this dissertation, expecting that some changes in the organizational posture and practices may happen, especially those related with risk taking and broad processes of communication with clients and society as a whole.

Percepção e atitude de homens e mulheres frente a mulher contemporânea: uma abordagem Junguiana

Este trabalho tem por objetivo investigar a percepção e atitude de homens e mulheres em relação à mulher contemporânea. Para isto foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo, com 5 sujeitos do sexo masculino e 5 sujeitos do sexo feminino, com idade variando entre 25-41 anos. Todos pertencentes à classe média do Rio de Janeiro. De nível superior. O enfoque teórico dado à pesquisa foi baseado na Psicologia Analítica de C.G. Jung. Através deste estudo verificou-se que apesar do reconhecimento da capacidade laborativa das mulheres e delas estarem ocupando um espaço cada vez maior, tanto na vida política quanto na vida científica do mundo inteiro, parece que elas estão se perdendo dentro do espaço afetivo e do lar. Isto criou uma situação bastante complicada para o plano das inter-relações devido a dificuldade de apreensão dos papéis masculino e feminino dentro da sociedade moderna.

O mobralense e o domínio do léxico

Na presente pesquisa de campo, abordou-se, primeir~ mente, o estudo da comunicação entre os homens por códigos verbais, as relações entre a linguagem e o pensamento e a visão do mundo percebida pelo individuo ou pela comunidade através do uso da lin guagem. A seguir examinou-se o sistema escola, comprometido com a transmissão de uma determinada cosmovisão, caracteristica de uma nacionalidade dada, e/ou com a manutenção de valores e modos de vi da que identificam uma certa comunidade. As considerações feitas justificam a importância dada à alfabetização e aos programas de alfabetização em massa nos paises em desenvolvimento, c omo o Brasil. Levando-se em conta estas colocações, planejou-se investigar o vocabulário corrente de trinta e sete alunos do MOBRAL, em Nova Friburgo, relacionando-o com os indices sociais dos informantes (procedência, anos de vida na área geográfica considerada, idade, sexo e profissão), com as variáres temáticas (alimentação, saúde/ doença, profissão/afazeres, expectativas de vida, lembranças de vi da, lazer/diversões), escolhidas após sondagem prévia das condições de vida e dos interesses dos informantes, e com as variáveis lingüisticas, ou seja, as classes de palavras. Neste estudo explQ ratório, propôs-se ainda verificar em que medida o material escri to dos livros de leitura continuada do MOBRAL e dos jornais clas se A (Jornal do Brasil) e C (O Dia e Oltima Hora) se relacionam com o vocabulário utilizado pelos alunos do MOBRAL, em Nova Fribur go. Visando ao levantamento do vocabulário dos entrevistados,foram gravadas cinqüenta falas de acordo com a metodologia utilizada em trabalhos de natureza sociolingüistica . Os dados obtidos neste "corpus" gravado foram anali sados quantitativamente, aplicando-se um programa computacional cQ nhecido como SPSS. O estudo das rel ações entre as variáveis(classi ficação morfológica, tema, idade, sexo, profissão) conduziu à for mação de tabelas de contingência multivariada . A análise dos resultados ofereceu algumas conclusões como o uso constante de substantivos e verbos nas elocuções . Embora se tenha introduzido a técnica de captar as palavras disponíveis durante as entrevistas, não foi alterado o número de substan I tivos nesta pesquisa, porque os informantes não indicaram o nome das coisas isoladamente, fizeram-no por enunciados completos. Ba seando-se neste resultado, propuseram-se algumas sugestões de in teresse pedagógico para utilização do MOBRAL: a primeira -- nao en fatizar os nomes (processo estático da língua) em detrimento dos verkos (processo dinâmico); a segunda -- o uso de frases nas estra tégias de alfabetização. No exame das relações entre as variáveis, a grande variação detectada deveu-se ao tema. Quando se investigou a variedade dos vocábulos usa dos pelos entrevistados em Nova Friburgo, observou-se que das 11.337 ocorrências de substantivos, encontraram-se 2.222 substanti vos diferentes e 1.590 vocábulos; das 17.604 ocorrências de verbos, encontraram-se 2.365 verbos diferentes e 588 vocábulos; das 1.980 ocorrências de adjetivo~, encontraram-se 660 adjetivos diferentes e 488 vocábulos. Concluiu-se que o vocabulário deste grupo pode ser diferente dos de outras áreas, dos de outras cfu~adas sociais inse ridas em outros contextos, mas não é limitado, nem re stri to.Expre~ sa a visão e a expectativa do mundo que os cerca. Outra recomendação ao MOBRAL: a escolha das palavras a ensinar seria colhida nas diversas comunidades, onde funcionam as classes de alfabetização e a motivação para sua seleção deveria estar ligada às necessidades cotidianas dos adultos com a palavra geradora integrada em frases.

O psicólogo escolar: uma visão crítica de sua atuação no município do Rio de Janeiro

A prática do psicólogo escolar no Município do Rio de Janeiro vem sofrendo intensas modificações. Inicialmente direcionada ao atendimento individual de alunos que apresentavam problemas de aprendizagem e/ou ajustamento, vai, progressivamente, assumindo um caráter preventivo. As razões para estas mudanças encontram-se tanto nas reflexões do próprio psicólogo escolar em relação a sua prática, como também devido a legislação em vigor, que enfatiza o caráter preventivo da atuação dos técnicos educacionais.

Gestão de pessoas na perícia criminal de Minas Gerais: condições motivacionais, relações interpessoais, liderança, qualidade no trabalho e na vida

O perito criminal é o profissional que se utiliza de conhecimentos técnicos e específicos na análise dos vestígios de um crime, a fim de descobrir a forma como este se deu e, também, sua autoria. O trabalho pericial pode contribuir com a absolvição ou a condenação de um acusado e, assim, atender aos anseios de justiça da sociedade. Apesar da importância dessa atividade, os métodos e instrumentos de trabalho disponíveis para os peritos pouco evoluíram desde a criação da carreira no estado de Minas Gerais, que convivem, ainda, com locais de trabalho inadequados e, também, com a escassez de recursos materiais e humanos, somados à carência de comunicação e de autonomia na tomada de decisões das chefias; os resultados também apontaram para a interferência de outros agentes públicos, no local do crime, antes do início do trabalho pericial e, ainda, que a comunicação ineficiente traz problemas às relações interpessoais no trabalho. A nova gestão pública determinou metas que devem ser cumpridas, pressionando o profissional a otimizar os resultados do trabalho, sem ter, em contrapartida, melhorias nas suas condições. Além do exposto, o contato direto e frequente com vítimas de violência, ou com o material a elas relacionado, possibilita impacto negativo sobre as emoções do perito criminal, na falta de apoio especializado para lidar com tais situações. Esse contexto alerta para a necessidade da preservação da integridade emocional do perito criminal e, também, para emprego de estímulo à motivação da categoria. A fim de compreender as condições emocionais do perito criminal de Minas Gerais, de como impactam sua qualidade da vida e de trabalho, foi utilizado o método qualitativo de pesquisa, iniciando-se com uma etapa de pesquisa exploratória, na qual vinte e dois profissionais responderam a um questionário semiestruturado. Posteriormente, duzentos e quarenta e oito peritos criminais responderam a questionários semiestruturados; conversas e entrevistas semiabertas foram gravadas com outros dez peritos aposentados ou aguardando a publicação oficial da aposentadoria. As questões foram descritivas, aproximando-se da atitude fenomenológica, buscando compreensão, quando, diante de depoimentos e questionários, a análise de conteúdo e do discurso desempenharam o papel de apoio metodológico. Os sentimentos recorrentes entre os peritos são os negativos, relacionados a medo, apreensão, humilhação, frustração, injustiça, angústia e revolta. Porém, sentimentos positivos também apareceram, esses relacionados à esperança de melhoria de condições laborais, ao entendimento da necessidade da cooperação e da confiança nos pares e, também, do empenho na contribuição social. As conclusões indicam que é necessário a promoção sistemática da comunicação interna e externa, além da intensificação da interação e da cooperação, a fim de favorecer a liderança e o reconhecimento do trabalho pericial, apoiando o envolvimento do profissional com a carreira. A complexidade encontrada nas questões relacionais apreendidas, e os indícios de implicações com a problemática da autonomia na Perícia Criminal, sugere retomada investigativa futura.

Percepção Ambiental em Museus Paisagens de Arte Contemporânea: a legibilidade dos museus Inhotim/Brasil e em Serralves/Portugal avaliada pelo público/visitante

This thesis nalyzes the wayfinding in Landscape Museum of Contemporary Art (MPAC), based on the Institute of Contemporary Art CACI, Minas Gerais, Brazil and the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Serralves Foundation, Porto, Portugal. The study focuses on the interrelationship of the public/visitors with the landscape, architecture and contemporary art museums in these, in order to understand visual perception and apprehension of such an environment for their users. For both were confronted documentation (visual and written) and people talk. The main hypothesis put forward is that the audience/visitor MPAC appreciates the interrelationship between the natural environment (park/garden) and built environment (the works of contemporary art and the galleries), giving equal value to both. To complement this, a second hypothesis is that during the visit to MPACS, visitors define their paths spontaneously, but strongly influenced by existing visual indicators (maps, signage and striking landscape elements), which facilitate the readability of space, which also contribute to the offered services and the experiences of similar institutions. The analytical basis of the research used the concepts of legibility (LYNCH, 2009), wayfinding (GIBSON, 2009; ARTHUR, PASSINI, 2002; WEISMAN, 1982), Experiential Cotinnum (TUAN, 1985), Space Bound (CRUZ PINTO, 2007) and habitus (BOURDIEU, 1992). Methodologically was used qualitative research (DEMO 2000) by means of a case study (YIN, 2005; STAKE, 1999) and participant observation (WHYTE, 2005). In the two institutions interviews with researchers and curators, behavior observation and questionnaires from employees, trainees, monitors and the public/visitor of the two museums were performed. Although partially referende the initial hypothesis, the research showed that the public/visitor value appears more natural environments, they experience a greater intensity and in addition to the factors listed in the second case, your perception and definition of paths suffer significant influence of emotional relations established with space. Generally the audience/visitor adapts easily to different demands of contemporary art exhibition in the two museums and the built environment (park/garden and museum) interferes with your reading path during the visit, perceived by the public/visitor condition as a factor that favors the enjoyment of works on different mounts (wayfinding), though often become a factor that hinders the legibility of the building and its built environment

Da promessa à realidade: a cidade potiguar do século XIX, a partir do olhar da elite

The purpose of this research is to apprehend the perception that the ruling elite, especially the Presidents of the province of Rio Grande do Norte/Brazil, had about the potiguar city, that is, the urban localities existing in the province along the 19th century. By interweaving political, administrative, socioeconomic and spatial aspects, the study of this perception involves two distinct moments, which are also linked: a moment of apprehension of the city, that is, how the elite seizes, describes and criticizes the city; and, a second moment, which occurs simultaneously or after the first moment, of intervention in the city, in which the elite exposes its vision and projects for the city and for the territory. Rather than describing the potiguar city in itself, the research is an attempt to reveal how it was perceived along this process from a particular standpoint or discourse, official and elitist, which did not correspond necessarily or completely to what it was in reality. We tried to understand, always through the lens of the discourse, how the ruling elite perceived the potiguar city based on what their members thought about other urban realities, particularly of the advanced countries; how, within an integrated vision, this city was characterized in political, administrative, socioeconomic and spatial terms and how it consolidated itself along the period established for the research. Qualitative and historical in nature, this study was also methodologically developed based upon bibliographical and documental research. Given the fact that this research works with descriptions, comparisons and interpretations, it was necessary to make use of tools such as the discourse analysis in order to apprehend, as much as possible, what lay behind the words of the elite. The primary sources used were essentially the official documents produced by the Presidents of the province, as well as other documents written by top government officials and other members of the administration staff, all of them composing the so-called ruling elite of Rio Grande do Norte. Secondary sources were books and other publications, theses and dissertations, among others. The research made possible the identification of a certain perception of the potiguar city in the 19th century, which is certainly limited because it is grounded on a specific discourse - that of the political and administrative elite, but which, in spite of such a limitation, is still useful to understand the city and its evolution along the period established, among other noteworthy remarks

Análise de depoimentos de mulheres mastectomizadas sobre o câncer de mama

The breast cancer is the most incident neoplasia in Brazilian women, configure as important cause of female death in Brazil. Its magnitude is go to be consider as a disease that go out the biological and numerical, extending of the subjective dimension and interrelationships of society and socials experiences, to into in knowledge and practices. Linking of the growing older process, the breast cancer extend as social, economical and cultural dimensions, madding in plot of socials relationships, through that acquire mean. In the context of the high expectative of live and the high number of older age persons, consider that that the high number of years had lived correspond the exposition of this individuals to corporate of the ambientals aggressions and own processes of human constitution of natural wear, like as chronicle-degenerate disease, the example is cancer. In the perspective, we collected narratives of mastectomies women with 60 age or so, about the breast cancer, the body and the growing older process, had has as objectives to reflexes about relatives questions, the comprehension about cancer, like experience, had lived and mean in the context of action and interaction of mastectomies older women, and to comprehend like women interrelationships and respond the changes that grow up of the disease and the growing older process in the everyday of their lives.

Atenção ao usuário em um centro de referência HIV/Aids: perspectiva de profissionais e usuários

We study the health care focused on care in an intercessor and dialogical relationship with the User, which involves the construction of therapeutic projects essential to the quality of the treatment of the user in health services, and it is necessary individual and collective actions. It is intended to acknowledge and analyze the perception of social subjects, users and professionals on the treatment given to a user of a Specialized Outpatient Service (Serviço Ambulatorial Especializado SAE) in STD/HIV/AIDS state reference in Natal, RN. The study is structured in a transdisciplinary vision of science and knowledge, theoretical and methodological principles that give meaning to the expression of the institutional features of care and health care reconnecting them to the social context. As a research strategy we seek the expressions of 56 subjects of social research, which agreed to participate in the sample, from a symbolic map of the attention, coupled with the techniques of observation and semi-structured interview. For the analysis of the results, five categories of analysis were established: the meaning of the service, care perception, process of communication and interaction, treatment perception and organization and evaluation of the service. It is argued that the attention and care are developed in a technical health care assistance to the disease, focusing on attention based on treatment, on diagnostic and drug therapy of antiretroviral drugs, reflecting the traditional biomedical paradigm of attention to the disease. This is also the mode of organization of practical actions in daily SAE: the therapy proves to be fragmented in several specialties, vertical and feeds the same model, generating tension and overload for professionals; showing impersonal care focused on structured and informative technology, unrelated to an interactive dialogic. From the speech of the subjects, the SAE is understood as the place of confrontation with the disease, but also enables greater elaboration of the illness by meeting their peers. Living with HIV and AIDS is living with concern, apprehension and fear, but mainly with the stigma, prejudice and exclusion, which require that the disease is kept in secret. There is a movement of forces and power, expressed in the knowledge-power of those who dominate the technical and administrative capabilities, devices that concentrate the maintenance of the medicalization of care, rapid consultations and with little attention, making it difficult to interact with and listen to, combined with structural failures, organizational and inadequate management of the service. We conclude that there are dimensions that are not considered in the internal dynamics of the care service multiple forms, characterized by care conflicting models, marked by individual interventions related to the disease. The subject is not considered together with his speech as technical discourse is imposed and care production based on material technology is observed

A PERCEPÇÃO DO ESPAÇO PÚBLICO NA MODERNIDADE: UM OLHAR SOBRE A CIDADE DE NATAL

It investigates the perception of the public space in the city of Natal. It approaches, therefore apprehension forms, entails and experiences, in the formalization in the way of seeing, to live and to interact with that part of the urban territoriality. With that perspective, they were focalized, especially, three periods lived in Natal: the first two decades of the century XX, the beginning of the forties, also of the previous century, and the scenery with which that city comes at the present time. With that direction, it puts back in focus, and for reflection, not just an universe that makes possible the people to interact, independent of the individual will of each one, but also the importance of that interaction for the social and political life of the city and for the formation of a wider and interactive vision of the people with yours surroundings

Cinematografando o consumo :as narrativas e práticas culturais dos clientes de videolocadoras de Natal (RN)

The present work is an exercise of analysis of cultural practices related to movie consume by the clients of video rental stores in Natal city (Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil). With sociology of practice as support, especially that one which develops from the seminal works of Anthony Giddens and Pierre Bourdieu, we have searched, from the apprehension of the narratives build up by these actors from the movies they attend, to point the way they build exercises of reflexivity and creativity in the reception of works commonly identified as products of the so called mass culture . This path allows us, in the steps of Nestor Garcia Canclini, researcher in reception within Latin-American context, create and, somehow confirm the hypothesis that consume is also useful for thinking . In order to get to this result, we have carried out a camp research that used instruments and techniques both quantitative and qualitative. After the data analysis we came to the conclusion that consume of movies taken as commercial type and as not very noble in the environment of cultural production, also impels exercises of creativity and social reflexivity

Indústria cultural e forró eletrônico no Rio Grande do Norte

The present study aimed to understand how and to what extent the electronic forró, currently hegemonic in the music market in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, establishes and maintains relations of domination in the social contexts in which it is produced, transmitted and received. Based, in significant form-content, on the writings of the first generation of theorists of the so-called Frankfurt School (Critical Theory), particularly with Theodor W. Adorno, and systematically using the contributions of the Cultural Studies (from the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies of Birmingham) and of the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, this study aimed to perform, in the fertile intersection of these references, a critical possibility of interpretation of the electronic forró predominantly spread in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. To this end, aiming at a better apprehension of the so-called capital circuits/culture circuits , this study resulted from a qualitative investment of research, based on structured interviews with musicians, entrepreneurs of the sector and music consumers, as well as on the analysis of the themes contained in the official discography of the electronic forró band called Garota Safada (Shameless Girl). As a general empirical conclusion, it was possible to infer that far from the significant presence of domination or mere prevalence of oppositions, there is a relational pluralism of forms of domination and ways of resistances present in the production and consumption of electronic forró, regardless of gender, age, income, education or place of residence. However, the artifices of the cultural industry has been shown to be efficient: from large-scale businessmen to small producers enabled by the so-called open markets . The currentness of the concept of cultural industry is based on the idea that its products are offered systematically (the systematic insistence of everything to everyone) and on the notion that its production primarily meets the administrative criteria of control over the effects on the receiver (capacity of prescription of desires). Thus, the Adornian reflection on the pseudo-individualization leads to the inference that even in some of the most apparent ways of negotiation and/or refusal regarding the consumption of forró, certain behaviors of the cultural industry still prevail both in the very (re)interpretation of the forró and in the choice of other music genres also standardized, rationalized and massified. Therefore, despite the absence of cause-effect relation and the recognition of the popular capacity of re-elaboration and contestation of the media consumption, some world views prevailing in relation to the electronic forró establish or, at least, support some hegemonic ideologies, especially those concerning the life style, consumption and genre relations (fun by all means). Therefore, due the massification of certain songs, some ways of dissemination of values, beliefs and feelings are potentially experienced from the electronic forró. So, it is presumable that in the current advance of the process of semiformation (Halbbildung), the habitus of a part of the youth from the state of Rio Grande do Norte reinforces and is reinforced by the centrality of the trinomial fun, love and sex present in the songs, emphasized in some constructive practices of sense and in certain flows of social significance
