Pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, com objetivo de analisar a influência do climatério para o envelhecimento na percepção das mulheres idosas. O estudo foi desenvolvido no Instituto de Atenção à Saúde São Francisco de Assis/Rio de Janeiro/Brasil. A coleta de dados foi conduzida por entrevista individual com 31 mulheres, sendo os mesmos processados por meio de análise temática de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram que o climatério, marcado por intensas mudanças corporais e emocionais, influencia e desencadeia o envelhecimento gerando medo, especialmente por sua associação com proximidade da morte. A participação em grupos para idosos traz benefícios às participantes, especialmente pelo convívio, novas amizades, prática de atividades físicas, lazer, entretenimento e ânimo para melhor vivenciar esta fase da vida. Conclui-se que para diminuir o impacto do climatério na vida das mulheres, as estratégias de atenção a saúde devem priorizar estratégias criativas, fundamentadas nos valores sociais, convivência social e vida saudável.

Objective: describe the process of designing and implementing a care protocol for the first hour of life of premature newborns. Method: a participatory research study using an implementation science framework, the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) was employed to determine drivers and facilitators of implementation success of the Golden Hour protocol for newborns at a large university hospital in southeastern Brazil. A multi-professional team, including first line providers and managers participated in six stages of quality improvement: situational diagnosis; protocol elaboration; training protocol implementation; barrier and facilitator assessment; and protocol monitoring and review. Qualitative and monitoring data collected across these six stages were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Results: the institution’s Golden Hour protocol was organized by the multi-professional team based on a collective and dialogical approach. The protocol prioritized the infant’s cardiopulmonary stability, as well as prevention of hypothermia, hypoglycemia and infection. After four months of implementation, the care team was evaluated the protocol as a good quality intervention, necessary for the service, low-cost and not very complex. One suggested improvement recommended was to carry out refresher training to address staff turnover. Conclusion: implementation of the Golden Hour protocol introduced an appropriate and feasible neonatal care quality improvement process, which requires periodic refresher training to ensure greater adherence and better neonatal results.

Objectives: to describe the contribution of pregnant women to the construction and evaluation of educational technology. Methods: a participatory study developed in three stages, which occurred between March 2018 and June 2019 for identifying the content, construction, and evaluation of the comic. Non-directive interviews were conducted in educational groups with 34 pregnant women. After the comic was built by a team, including a designer, an instrument was applied to 41 pregnant women to evaluate the items Objectives, Organization, Writing style, Appearance, and Motivation. Results: the comic contains 40 pages of contents, illustrations, and quizzes (word search, cross-puzzle, seven mistakes, etc). The pregnant women evaluated it as easy to understand, self-explanatory, aesthetically attractive, and capable of motivating good care practices during pregnancy, obtaining a minimum agreement of 92.1%. Final Considerations: the innovation of the educational technology consisted of incorporating the voices of pregnant women in prenatal care, with the potential to stimulate reflections and the learning process of this target audience.
