Objetivo: Identificar o desenvolvimento dos cuidados prestados pelos filhos do sexo masculino aos pais idosos. Método: A escolha dos participantes ocorreu pela técnica bola de neve. O início ocorreu na clínica médica de um hospital escola, em João Pessoa-PB e continuou nas residências de outros filhos. Resultados: O estudo contou com onze participantes, com idade entre 21 a 71 anos. Para os entrevistados se tornar um cuidador não foi uma escolha, mas uma imposição das circunstâncias. A maioria dos entrevistados relatou não conseguir conciliar os estudos e o trabalho chegando a desistir de sonhos e projetos pessoais, permanecendo solteiros, desempregados e residindo na casa dos pais. Em relação a rede de apoio em saúde, observou-se fragilidades na perspectiva da transmissão de conhecimentos e orientações aos cuidadores. Conclusão: Enfatiza-se a importância de maiores investimentos dos serviços públicos de saúde na instrumentalização dos cuidadores, para prestação adequada de cuidados aos pais idosos.
Objetivo: avaliar o desperdício de leite materno e fórmula infantil em serviço de neonatologia. Método: estudo transversal, realizado no período de junho a dezembro de 2019 em uma maternidade escola de Natal-RN. A análise descritiva das variáveis contínuas foi realizada pela mediana e percentis. Para as variáveis categóricas a análise foi realizada por meio de frequências absolutas e relativas. Foi aplicado o teste de Mann-Whitney e o teste Qui-quadrado. Resultado: houve maior desperdício de fórmula infantil na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (p < 0,01) e a justificativa mais comum para o não aproveitamento da fórmula foi a necessidade de procedimento nos neonatos. Conclusão: considerando a importância do leite materno e fórmula infantil para os recém-nascidos hospitalizados nas unidades estudadas, alertamos que se faz necessário um maior controle das distribuições dessas dietas em função do impacto na saúde infantil e nos custos hospitalares.
