objectives In Brazil, the National Policy for Dengue Control seeks to incorporate the lessons of national and international experience in dengue control, emphasising the need for health education activities. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare knowledge, attitudes and behaviours related to the prevention of arboviruses before and after a two-month educational intervention using a learning platform on mobile devices.methods This quasi-experimental study corresponds to the first phase of the project 'Impact of mobile learning in the prevention and management of complications caused by arboviruses (Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya) -ZIKAMOB', sponsored as part of the British Council Newton Fund.results Thirty of the 93 participants were first-year undergraduate university students (36.7% male), and 63 were police officers (84.1% male). The pattern of attitudes and behaviour was very similar in both groups before the intervention. The students changed their attitudes and behaviour (P = 0.032) in relation to their engagements in actions for the prevention of arboviral diseases and several other activities related to house inspections and precautions with water tanks (P < 0.01). However, recycling and surveillance activities were not as effective in changing behaviour. Female participants showed more motivation to participate in preventive activities, but living alone and working were barriers to participation. Individuals who already perform selective waste collection and are cultivating gardens demonstrated both a positive attitude and a positive behaviour towards actions for the prevention of arboviral diseases.conclusion Mobile learning and behaviour change theories might be successful as the basis for school-based and community-based interventions to avoid arboviruses. These outcomes need to be confirmed in broader future studies.keywords arboviruses, health education, behaviour change, mobile health Tropical Medicine and International Health

Background Since the 1980s, when dengue was reintroduced in Brazil, outbreaks and epidemics caused by different arbovirus strains transmitted by vector mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti have been an annual occurrence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavioural change of high school students and teachers who participated in an educational intervention for the prevention and vector control of arboviral diseases. Methods In this school-based intervention, a self-reported questionnaire was used in a pre-post intervention methodology to assess environmental risk factors, sociodemographic variables and to measure attitudes and behaviours. In all, 883 high school students and teachers from the city of Campina Grande, in the state of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil, participated. The e-health intervention consisted of a competition between schools to comply with preventive actions via content production for social networks, and the monitoring was performed over a period of three months through the ZikaMob software developed by the researchers. Results Out of the 883 survey participants, 690 were students ranging in age from 14 to 41 years, with an average of 17 ± 2 years; and 193 were teachers from 22 to 64 years old, averaging 38 ± 9 years. The analysis of the data shows that significant differences in most of the target behaviours were apparent after the intervention, with an increase of about 10% in the performance of inspection actions; a 7% greater separation of recyclables and a 40% increase in the screening of windows among students. Students showed lower fear of, and a lower self-perception of the risk of, acquiring arboviruses than teachers on average. Conclusions ZikaMob is an innovative strategy with the potential to be replicated in any location that has an internet network and can involve an unlimited number of participants.

Introduction: Reception with Risk Rating consists of strategies that ensure the inclusion of Humanization in health and reduces negative health indicators. Objective: to analyze the composition of the reception sheet of a hospital located in south-central Ceará. Method: this is a documental research, exploratory and descriptive with a qualitative approach. Results: After documentary analysis of the report is concluded that the composition of this meets the needs of the initial evaluation of the patient. Conclusion: It becomes necessary to its reformulation of the reception sheet, as there is a shortage of some items, such as vital signs. the changes suggested optimize the quality of assistance in the reception.

Relatar o conhecimento de enfermeiros acerca da diabetes mellitus gestacional. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo descritiva com abordagem qualitativa realizado com enfermeiros cadastrados na estratégia de saúde da família em um distrito sanitário de cidade paraibana. A coleta de dados foi realizada nos meses de setembro a outubro de 2019 com 18 enfermeiros. Os dados foram organizados por categorias temáticas resultantes da junção de todas as falas coletadas e separadas por unidade de sentido. As categorias temáticas apresentadas na discussão foram “identificação da diabetes mellitus gestacional”; “acompanhamento x encaminhamento”; “comportamentos de risco”; “muitas não podem seguir porque não tem condições financeiras”. O entendimento dos enfermeiros sobre as consequências ocasionadas pelo diabetes gestacional é significante, pois interfere na qualidade da assistência ofertada. Foi evidente a necessidade de cuidado diferenciado a gestante com base no fator sócio situacional.
