ResumoAs cardiopatias representam importantes causas de internação e óbitos em crianças e adolescentes e o conhecimento de informações de âmbito epidemiológico são determinantes para tomada de decisão nos serviços de saúde. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar as características epidemiológicas e clínico-hospitalares de crianças e adolescentes internadas em um hospital infantil na cidade de Manaus-Amazonas. Estudo transversal, de base hospitalar e abordagem quantitativa, com obtenção de dados a partir de 173 prontuários de crianças de 0 a 19 anos com diagnóstico médico de cardiopatia no período entre 2011 a 2015, com as variáveis socioeconômicas, demográficas e clínico-epidemiológicas, utilizando-se análise estatística descritiva de frequência absoluta e relativa. Os resultados apontam predominância das cardiopatias do sexo masculino 60,6%, raça parda 31,7% e idade menor de um ano 68,2%. Tipo de cardiopatia com maior frequência foi a acianótica 86,1%, tendo como principal motivo de internação o comprometimento do sistema respiratório 43,8%. Em 70,5% dos casos houve necessidade de transferência para a Unidade de Terapia Intensiva, sendo 48,6% por complicações relacionadas ao sistema cardiovascular. A maioria das mães desempregadas, ensino fundamental incompleto, renda inferior a um salário mínimo e obtendo de quatro ou mais filhos. Conclui-se que há um índice elevado de cardiopatias congênitas entre a faixa etária estudada, principalmente em menores de cinco anos, pertencentes a famílias com fatores socioeconômico desfavoráveis, com complicações na maioria dos casos, demandando serviços de alta complexidade, sugerindo a existência de uma política pública de saúde incipiente no município, de difícil acesso aos exames diagnósticos e tratamento cirúrgico.Palavras-chave: Cardiopatia Congênita.

Objective: To analyze the obstacles to the educational praxis of nurses in the Family Health Strategy of the Eastern Health District, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. Method: Qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study that used the Word Café technique for data production, with 26 nurses, between June and August 2018. The data were organized in the Atlas.ti8 software, and the analysis was categorical-thematic. Results: The units of analysis “Organizational Obstacles for Educational Praxis in the Family Health Strategy” and “Operational Obstacles for Educational Praxis in the Family Health Strategy” reveal difficulties, tensions, resistances and the impossibilities to adhere to emerging models of work organization, in general, and in particular, in educational work. Conclusion: What presents itself in reality as an obstacle is, at the same time, indicative of the possibility of overcoming and potentiality for co-creation of educational work as a strategy to rescue professional motivation, and an alternative on the agenda for the permanent qualification of workers and institutions.
