IntroductionSince 2020, the world has been going through a viral pandemic with a high morbidity and mortality rate along with the potential to evolve from an acute infection to post-acute and long-COVID, which is still in the process of elucidation. Diagnostic and prognostic research is essential to understand the complexity of factors and contexts involving the illness’s process. This protocol introduces a study strategy to analyse predictors, sequelae, and repercussions of COVID-19 in adults and older adults with different disease severities in the State of Paraná, Brazil.Methods and analysisA mixed-methods sequential explanatory design. The quantitative data will be conducted by an ambispective cohort study, which will explore the manifestations of COVID-19 for 18 months, with nearly 3000 participants with confirmed diagnoses of COVID-19 (reverse transcription-PCR test) between March and December of 2020, retrieved from national disease reporting databases, over 18 years old, living in a Brazilian State (Paraná) and who survived the viral infection after being discharged from a health service. Data collection will be conducted through telephone interviews, at two different occasions: the first will be a recall 12 months after the acute phase as a retrospective follow-up, and the second will be another prospective interview, with data of the following 6 months. For the qualitative step, Grounded Theory will be used; participants will be selected from the cohort population. The first sample group will be composed of people who were discharged from the intensive care unit, and other sample groups will be composed according to theoretical saturation. The qualitative data will follow the temporal design and classification of the disease provided for in the cohort.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval was granted by the State University of Maringá, under opinion number: 4 165 272 and CAAE: 34787020.0.0000.0104 on 21 July 2020, and Hospital do Trabalhador (Worker’s Hospital), which is accountable for the Health Department of the State of Paraná, under opinion number: 4 214 589 and CAAE: 34787020.0.3001.5225 on 15 August 2020. The participants will verbally consent to the research, their consent will be recorded, and the informed consent form will be sent by mail or email. Outcomes will be widely disseminated through peer-reviewed manuscripts, conference presentations, media and reports to related authorities.
<p>Objetivo: identificar as atividades de lazer realizadas em uma Instituição de Longa Permanência para Idosos e apreender a percepção dos idosos acerca do lazer. Método: estudo descritivo e qualitativo realizado entre janeiro e abril de 2013 junto a 15 idosos institucionalizados. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, analisados pelos princípios da interpretação temática e discutidos à luz do referencial teórico de Foucault. Resultados: o entendimento do lazer para os idosos estava vinculado ao bem-estar psicossocial. As atividades de lazer praticadas eram em sua maioria artísticas, intelectuais, manuais, físicas e sociais, as quais eram promovidas principalmente pela comunidade externa à instituição. Idosos com déficits sensoriais, motores ou cognitivos tiveram dificuldade e/ ou foram impossibilitados de participar ativamente das atividades. Conclusão: as atividades de lazer realizadas na instituição proporcionavam benefícios aos idosos, contudo eram permeadas por relações de poder.<br />Descritores: Pessoa idosa.

Final considerations: knowing the competencies contributes to understanding the aging process and qualifying nurses for elder care.
RESUMOObjetivo: verificar o conhecimento de profissionais de enfermagem sobre a fricção antisséptica das mãos com preparação alcoólica. Método: estudo quantitativo, descritivo e exploratório realizado com 27 profissionais de enfermagem de um hospital de operadora de plano privado de saúde, que preencheram um questionário semiestruturado. O nível de conhecimento foi analisado com base no Índice de Positividade e considerado satisfatório quando os acertos foram ≥80%. Os resultados foram apresentados em tabelas. Resultados: para as questões sobre a cobertura das mãos com o produto e necessidade de secagem após fricção, o conhecimento foi satisfatório (92,6% e 85.2%, respectivamente); mas, para o tempo mínimo do procedimento e necessidade das mãos estarem previamente secas foi insatisfatório (18.5% e 59.3%, respectivamente). Conclusão: o conhecimento da equipe de enfermagem foi insuficiente. Este estudo chama a atenção para a necessidade de ações de educação permanente sobre higienização das mãos com a preparação alcoólica a fim de fortalecer a cultura de segurança do paciente.

Method: descriptive, exploratory and quantitative study conducted with 27 nursing professionals of a hospital belonging to a private health plan provider, who completed a semi-structured questionnaire. The level of knowledge was assessed based on the index of positivity. Correct answers ≥80% were considered satisfactory. The results are presented in tables. Results: for questions addressing the full coverage of hands with the product and the need of drying the hands after rubbing, the knowledge was satisfactory (92.6% and 85.2%, respectively); however, for the minimal time required by the procedure and need of having the hands dried prior to the procedure, the answers were unsatisfactory (18.5% and 59.3%, respectively). Conclusion: nursing professionals’ level of knowledge was insufficient. This study draws attention to the need for continuing education on hand hygiene using alcoholic preparations in order to enhance patient safety.
