This study aimed to identify the impacts of vertical transmission of sexually transmitted infections in newborns through an integrative review. The methodology was performed from the intersection of the Descriptors in Health Sciences Neonatal Nursing; Sexually transmitted diseases; Infectious Disease Vertical Transmission in the Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Scopus, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), and Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo). At the end of the searches, 29 articles were obtained where 14 of these studies (48.2%) had HIV / AIDS as their central theme. It was found that the need for interruption of breastfeeding, preterm and low birth weight births, neonatal or stillbirth deaths are the main impacts of transmission. It was also identified that infected women should suspend breastfeeding as this may be a source of vertical transmission. In contrast, public policies related to child nutrition prove to be ineffective. Other problems concern the higher prevalence of severe comorbidities, such as pulmonary tuberculosis, bacteremia and diarrheal diseases. From the point of view of the organization of practices related to vertical transmission, comprehensiveness indicates the need for definition by the public power which has competence in the organization of care and therapeutic guidelines. It is concluded that this work opens perspectives for further studies on the aforementioned theme, since effective measures of vertical transmission control are necessary in order to interrupt this cycle that impacts the human development indices of the country.
Objectives: to validate the terms of the specialized nursing language used in the care of people with chronic kidney disease undergoing conservative treatment identified in the literature by mapping them with terms of the International Classification for Nursing Practice, version 2019, and representing them by means of a mandala. Methods: descriptive, documentary and methodological study. The terms were collected in 53 scientific articles, standardized and mapped with the terminology. The validation was performed by six nurses through a focus group. The Content Validity Index was used and terms with a value ≥ 0.80 were validated. Results: the normalization resulted in 957 relevant terms, of which 499 were constant and 458 not included in the terminology. Terms were validated when Content Validity Index was between 0.86 and 1.0. Conclusions: the study allowed the validation of terms that will contribute to unify the professional language of nursing in the care of people with chronic kidney disease.
Objetivo: validar cartilha em Braille e mídia sonora sobre prevenção e transmissão de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST) e síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (Aids). Método: estudo metodológico, descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa. A pesquisa será desenvolvida em Mossoró/RN e Natal/RN, mediante realização de três etapas: identificação do conhecimento das pessoas cegas sobre prevenção e transmissão de IST/Aids; desenvolvimento de uma cartilha em Braille e uma mídia sonora sobre IST/Aids; e validação das tecnologias assistivas (TA), sendo adotado censo populacional ou amostragem não-probabilística por conveniência, a depender das especificidades de cada etapa do estudo. Os dados coletados serão processados e analisados utilizando-se a estatística descritiva e analítica. Resultados esperados: a pesquisa permitirá a validação de uma cartilha em Braille e mídia sonora para cegos sobre IST/Aids. Essas TA poderão servir de estratégias para educação em saúde por enfermeiros e poderão promover maior acesso à informação sobre IST/Aids para as pessoas cegas.
