A População em Situação de Rua (PSR) é um grupo vulnerável ao surgimento de doenças e comprometimentos biopsicossociais, sendo a educação em saúde contribuinte na transmissão de conhecimentos e autocuidado. Objetivo: apresentar o impacto da educação em saúde para a PSR. Método: estudantes de fisioterapia desenvolveram atividades 1  vez/semana durante 2 horas, distribuídos em: avaliação individual; explanação e discussão do tema; exercícios físicos; feedback dos participantes. Ao total foram 13 encontros, incluindo familiarização, 11 oficinas e encerramento, realizados na paróquia Bom Jesus dos Perdões, Curitiba/PR. Resultados: Participaram 68 indivíduos, com mediana de 9 participantes por encontros. Os temas com maiores participações foram dores musculoesqueléticas e imagem corporal (n=15); e Câncer de próstata (n=12). Conclusões: esta experiência proporcionou uma ampla forma de aprendizagem para os estudantes e participantes, troca de saberes e de diferentes histórias de vida. Conhecendo o cotidiano da PSR e seus processos de adoecimento, pode-se nortear formas adequadas de intervenções.

Objective: to compare the use of the RULA observational method, with the postural analysis using Kinebot software, of workers in manufacturing stations. Background: The RULA is among the tools most used by ergonomists, but in search of improving ergonomic analyses, new instruments have emerged, among them, video-based systems. Kinebot is a software that evaluates the worker through filming and digital recognition, capable of generating a volume of information and detail so superior to the methods currently used. Method: 50 manufacturing positions from an industry in Paraná were selected, in which both methods were applied separately, to then compare the data obtained in the analyses, being the observations in the application, the scores referring to the trunk, neck, left and right forearm, left and right arm, and level of final action. Results: Kinebot was much simpler and easy to apply, there was positive and weak correlation for trunk, neck, right forearm, left and right arm. For the variables left forearm and final action level, there was a positive and moderate correlation (R=0.36, p<0.001; R=0.58, p<0.001). Conclusions: the subjectivity of a conventional method has its evaluation levels decreased with the expansion of technological tools. Kinebot has proved easier and with the results being RULA-compliant. Application: the practical impact of this work is to bring the importance of studies that prove the use of technology in favor of a complete ergonomic analysis without subjectivity.

Introduction Multiple studies have shown the effects of prone (PP), supine (SP) and kangaroo (KP) positions on clinical and physiological outcomes in preterm newborns, but none compared these three types of positioning between them. Objective To investigate the influence of these positionings on heart rate, respiratory rate, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and alertness status in clinically stable preterm newborns (NBs) admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit. Methods In a randomized clinical trial, clinically stable NBs with gestational ages from 30 to 37 weeks who were breathing spontaneously were allocated in three positioning groups: PP, SP and KP. Heart rate, breathing frequency, SpO2 and alertness status were evaluated immediately before and after 30 minutes of positioning. Results In all, 66 NBs were assessed (corrected age: 35.48 ± 1.94 weeks; weight: 1840.14 ± 361.09 g), (PP: n = 22; SP: n = 23; KP: n = 21). NBs in the PP group showed a significant improvement in peripheral SpO2 (97.18 ± 2.16 vs 95.47 ± 2.93 vs 95.57 ± 2.95, p = 0.03) compared with the SP and KP groups. Conclusion In clinically stable preterm NBs, the PP was associated with better peripheral oxygen saturation than the SP or KP. In addition, there was a reduction in heart rate within prone position group and in the KP group there was an increase in the number of NBs in the deep sleep classification.
