Objetivo: Relatar a experiência de residentes de fisioterapia em saúde coletiva no enfrentamento multidisciplinar e desenvolvimento de ações frente à coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Síntese dos dados: Trata-se de um relato de experiência a partir da vivência prática dos residentes, em decorrência da pandemia da COVID 19, em duas cidades, Datas e Presidente Kubitschek, no interior de Minas Gerais, Brasil. As atividades ocorreram de março a junho de 2020. As ações foram realizadas por meio de orientações, roda de conversa, atendimento por videochamadas e fôlderes. As propostas sintetizaram: Ações de prevenção à saúde; Atenção à saúde mental e física dos trabalhadores da saúde; Educação em saúde aos trabalhadores de outros setores das prefeituras; Monitoramento de pacientes crônicos; e Educação permanente dos agentes comunitários de saúde. As atividades colaboraram com a prática clínica dos residentes, permitindo a construção com a equipe de saúde de propostas para um enfrentamento seguro no manejo da COVID 19. Conclusão: As propostas elaboradas no início da pandemia permitiram realizar ações que auxiliaram a atuação da equipe de Saúde da Família no enfrentamento à COVID 19. A experiência dos residentes contribuiu para a construção dos saberes e da experiência de gestão no enfrentamento da pandemia, colaborando para a formação dos residentes.
Symptoms in post-COVID-19 patients who require hospitalization can persist for months, significantly affecting their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Thus, the present study aimed to discuss the main findings regarding HRQoL in post-COVID-19 patients who required hospitalization. An electronic search was performed in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, LILACS, and Scopus databases, without date and language restrictions, until July 2021. Twenty-four articles were included in the analysis. It seems that HRQoL partially improved soon after hospital discharge, although the negative impact on HRQoL may persist for months. The physical and mental aspects are affected because patients report pain, discomfort, anxiety, and depression. The HRQoL of COVID-19 infected patients was worse than that of uninfected patients. Additionally, HRQoL seemed worse in patients admitted to the intensive care unit than in those who remained in the ward. Improvements in HRQoL after hospital discharge are independent of imaging improvement, and there seems to be no association between HRQoL after hospital discharge and disease severity on hospital admission. Many factors have been identified as determinants of HRQoL, with women and advanced age being the most related to worse HRQOL, followed by the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation and the need for intensive care. Other factors included the presence and number of comorbidities, lower forced vital capacity, high body mass index, smoking history, undergraduate education, and unemployment. In conclusion, these findings may aid in clinical management and should be considered in the aftercare of patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
