Objective: to construct and validate educational technology on COVID-19 and essential care for families of children/adolescents with sickle cell disease. Methods: this is a methodological study, in three stages: 1) elaborated educational technology, using the Doak, Doak and Root theoretical-methodological model; 2) content and appearance validation by the content validity coefficient. Delphi technique was applied in two rounds (Delphi I [12 judges]/Delphi II [11 judges]); 3) conducting a pilot test with six families. Results: “Sickle cell disease and COVID-19: essential care” included: consequences of COVID-19 in sickle cell disease, guidelines for reducing the risks of contracting the virus and having complications, signs and symptoms of COVID-19, guidelines in case of child/adolescent with suspicion or symptoms of COVID-19. Global content validity coefficient (Delphi II): 0.98. Conclusion: educational technology presented content and appearance validity for families of children/adolescents with sickle cell disease, related to COVID-19.
Objective. To assess the relationship between the nutritional status and eating habits of children aged from five to ten years old and their mothers, living in rural areas.
Methods. A cross-sectional study conducted with 156 children aged from five to ten years old, registered in the Family Health Strategies of the rural area of the Municipality of Divinópolis-MG (Brazil) from July 2017 to April 2018.
Results. The prevalence of excess weight was 27.5%. The following parameters were significantly associated with excess weight in the children: maternal waist circumference (OR=1.04), protein consumption (OR=1.02), irregular consumption of natural juice (OR=5.05), and the most favored socioeconomic level, C1 social stratum (OR=3.54). Regarding the correlation between nutrient intake of the children and their mothers, most of the correlations were weak to moderate, being statistically significant for all the dietary components evaluated (r=0.185 to 0.496).
Conclusion. Maternal nutritional status was related to the child’s excess weight and a weak to moderate correlation was observed for nutrient intake among the children and their mothers. A high prevalence of children with excess weight was observed in the rural areas. The results point to the need to implement collective approaches, targeted at rural families, so as to prevent this problem.
Doença Falciforme (DF) é a nomenclatura utilizada para designar um conjunto de hemoglobinopatias decorrentes de uma mutação no gene beta-globina do cromossomo 11. Dentre elas, destaca-se a anemia falciforme (HbSS) pela sua alta prevalência e alto potencial de morbimortalidade. Nesse cenário, uma família que apresenta uma criança ou adolescente com DF tem alterada toda sua dinâmica biopsicossocial, sobretudo no contexto da pandemia do COVID-19, na qual o distanciamento social é recomendado. Assim, esse trabalho visa apresentar a experiência bem-sucedida do Programa Extensionista “Educar Falciforme”, vinculado à Universidade Federal de São João Del-Rei, pilar na rede de apoio para o manejo do cliente e da família com DF, em um período em que novos processos – sobretudo online – tornam-se necessários para a oferta de cuidados em saúde de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT). Como metodologia, o relato de experiência e a pesquisa bibliográfica foram propostos. A partir dessa experiência, os resultados apontaram que apesar das circunstâncias adversas, as dinâmicas virtuais são necessárias para a manutenção da integralidade do cuidado das famílias com DF em um período pandêmico. Concluiu-se que a extensão é uma ferramenta importante para o apoio na rede de saúde.
Objetivo: mapear os impactos psicossociais causados pelo isolamento social, durante a pandemia da COVID-19, em crianças, adolescentes e jovens. Método: revisão de escopo realizada de acordo com o método proposto por JBI e adotando as recomendações do guia internacional Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Protocolo de revisão registrado no Open Science Framework. Resultados: compuseram esta revisão 20 artigos. A depressão (70%; n=14) e a ansiedade (60%; n=16) foram os sintomas mais frequentes entre as investigações estudadas. Identificou-se um aumento do tempo de tela e utilização de internet. Conclusão: o isolamento social em função da COVID-19 tem impactado socialmente e psicologicamente na vida de crianças e adolescentes. O adoecimento mental deste público é uma realidade e as repercussões no desenvolvimento infanto-juvenil não podem ser desconsideradas.
