Projeto de intervenção educativa para pacientes com baixa percepção de risco da hipertensão pela Equipe da Estratégia Saúde da Família 2 do município de Ressaquinha/MG

Ressaquinha é um município brasileiro do Estado de Minas Gerais, localizado na mesorregião dos Campos das Vertentes na região sul do estado. Está localizada a 154 km da capital do estado, Belo Horizonte. A população estimada é de 4755 hab. Devido aos hábitos e estilos de vida inadequados na região, baixo nível de informação sobre os fatores de riscos da hipertensão, pouco comprometimento dos indivíduos e a família com o problema de saúde e deficiência no acompanhamento dos pacientes hipertensos, a equipe escolheu como problema a ser discutido para a elaboração de um plano operativo a hipertensão arterial sistêmica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi elaborar um Projeto de Intervenção educativa para pacientes com baixa percepção do risco para a hipertensão, pela equipe da Estratégia de Saúde da Família 2 do município de Ressaquinha/MG. Para a realização do presente trabalho, foi utilizado o Método do Planejamento Estratégico Situacional - PES. Inicialmente foi realizada a revisão de literatura a respeito do tema proposto utilizando bases de dados on line Lilacs e Scielo. No desenvolvimento da Análise da Situação de Saúde (ASS) foi utilizada a Estimativa Rápida. Para a realização do diagnóstico dos problemas foram usadas técnicas qualitativas e quantitativas tais como (observação ativa, questionário, revisão de fontes primarias existentes, entrevistas, informantes chaves), e priorização por meio de três critérios, dois qualitativos e um quantitativo. Espera-se que com a implantação do Plano de intervenção o impacto sobre o controle da hipertensão, seus fatores de risco e agravos, seja favorável. Existem evidências de que o controle dos fatores de risco pode ajudar a prevenir pelo menos 80% das doenças cardiovasculares.

Percepção Dos riscos na gravidez em mulheres em idade fértil e nas grávidas na UBS São Francisco em Coreaú CE

A gravidez é o período durante o qual toda mulher na idade fértil tem um feto no seu corpo e vai desde a concepção até o parto; baseado em isto se realizou um estudo descritivo, onde analisei o conhecimento e percepção dos riscos das grávidas de nossa UBS Dr. Raimundo Gomes, com a identificação das adolescentes e as maiores de 35 anos; que pertencem ao grupo que tem maiores riscos durante a gestação, tais quais riscos maternos e riscos fetais; e fizemos uma analise da literatura sobre o tema. Serão entrevistadas as setenta grávidas que tivemos durante os oito primeiros meses do ano e analisados seus prontuários; os dados obtidos servirão para criar um plano de intervenção que nos permita que toda mulher na idade fértil conheça as características da gravidez, saiba identificar seus riscos antes e durante a gestação, e a sua vez lograr a melhoria na atenção primaria à saúde, especificamente na atenção pré-natal em nosso posto e no município com o trabalho de todos os integrantes da equipe de saúde.

Application Of Tactile/kinesthetic Stimulation In Preterm Infants: A Systematic Review.

To verify the methods used by the clinical trials that assessed the effect of tactile/kinesthetic stimulation on weight gain in preterm infants and highlight the similarities and differences among such studies. This review collected studies from two databases, PEDro and PubMed, in July of 2014, in addition to bibliographies. Two researchers assessed the relevant titles independently, and then chose which studies to read in full and include in this review by consensus. Clinical trials that studied tactile stimulation or massage therapy whether or not associated with kinesthetic stimulation of preterm infants; that assessed weight gain after the intervention; that had a control group and were composed in English, Portuguese, or Spanish were included. A total of 520 titles were found and 108 were selected for manuscript reading. Repeated studies were excluded, resulting in 40 different studies. Of these, 31 met all the inclusion criteria. There were many differences in the application of tactile/kinesthetic stimulation techniques among studies, which hindered the accurate reproduction of the procedure. Also, many studies did not describe the adverse events that occurred during stimulation, the course of action taken when such events occurred, and their effect on the outcome. These studies made a relevant contribution towards indicating tactile/kinesthetic stimulation as a promising tool. Nevertheless, there was no standard for application among them. Future studies should raise the level of methodological rigor and describe the adverse events. This may permit other researchers to be more aware of expected outcomes, and a standard technique could be established.

Cerebrovascular disease in newborn infants: report of three cases with clinical follow-up and brain spect imaging

The clinical and neurological findings of three neonates with the diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease are reported. The neuropsychological evaluation disclosed impairment of fine motor function, coordination, language, perception and behavioral disturbances. Brain SPECT imaging revealed perfusional deficits in the three cases.

Sexual dysfunction in epilepsy: identifying the psychological variables

In order to evaluate the psychological variables that affect sexual dysfunction (SD) in epilepsy, where compared 60 epileptics (Group 1) with 60 healthy individuals (Group 2), through the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger et al., 1970), Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, 1974) and Sexual Behavior Interview (Souza, 1995). Sexual dysfunction (SD), anxiety and depression were found more frequently in Group 1 than in Group 2 and were not related to sex. Variables such as the onset duration and frequency of seizures as well as the use to medication were not associated with SD. Temporal lobe epilepsy was related to SD (p = 0.035) but not to anxiety or depression. Anxiety and depression were related to SD in both groups. Perception in controlling the seizures was closely related to anxiety (p = 0) and depression (p = 0.009). We conclude that psychological factors play an important role in the alteration of sexual behavior in epileptics and that suitable attention must be given to the control of these variables.

Questionário de qualidade de vida na epilepsia: resultados preliminares

Seizures happen for brief periods of time, but the feelings of anxiety and helplessness, adaptation to the restrictions impose by the life-style and variety of other problems affect more the quality of life in epilepsy. This study proposes a protocol that regards the objectives of a quality of life assessment in health and is applied to a population that attends a university hospital. It contains 65 items and assesses the psychosocial performance, physical limitation, cognitive aspects, perception of control, self-concept, as well as perception of health and quality of life. The results of reliability and validity are discussed.

Linguagem, cultura e alteridade: imagens do outro

Language, culture, and otherness are complementary and also confliting issues representing the central debate on childhood and the child who carries the signals of social and/or ethinical of exclusion. The debate on the social still connected to universal and absolute values and trues, therefore the theme needs a reavaliation on the realm of relativism. Questioning the fact that culture and otherness are expressed by language which are not always visible and explicit, requering a close and deep look at many social realities enpoorvered suburbs and rural areas, white and black children, homeless children, we kept their voices and speaches, their images from their own drawings to understand the way the percept mean they live and they are. These children have a word for school, and also about the process and agents to say by many different ways to express how they look their own world and how the world look at them.
