Objective To know the nurses' perception about early skin-to-skin contact. Methods A qualitative and exploratory-descriptive study carried out at the Obstetric Center of a university hospital in southern Brazil. The participants were eight nurses who answered a qualitative interview in April 2019. The interviews followed a guiding script and were analyzed according to thematic content analysis: data sorting and classification and final analysis. Results Nurses know the skin-to-skin contact practice and the importance of doing it properly. In their work routine, they perceive that this contact does not happen as it should and they understand the importance of recording it. Conclusion Nurses aim for skin-to-skin contact to be carried out in an early and uninterrupted manner; however, the limitations related to the health team's work processes are highlighted. The study reinforces the importance of reducing unnecessary interventions at birth.
Objetivo: analisar a ocorrência e a associação da sífilis congênita com a realização do pré-natal e tratamento da gestante e do parceiro.Método: estudo retrospectivo do período de 2006 a 2015, observando dados do Brasil, Rio Grande do Sul e Porto Alegre, com base em indicadores do Ministério da Saúde.Resultados: a taxa de sífilis congênita em menores de um ano de idade aumentou de 2 para 6,5 no Brasil, de 1,5 para 11,5 no Rio Grande do Sul e de 4,4 para 30,2 em Porto Alegre. Em torno de 74% de mulheres realizaram o pré-natal nas três esferas. Das gestantes 80% não realizaram o tratamento ou o fizeram de maneira inadequada. O percentual de tratamento do parceiro não ultrapassou 20,5%. Conclusão: esse estudo observou o aumento da ocorrência da sífilis congênita. Ainda, a realização do pré-natal não assegurou tratamento adequado das gestantes e de seus parceiros.
