Objective. Report on communication and qualified listening in nursing work in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. This descriptive, theoretical and reflexive report was developed by nurses between March 20th and May 25th 2020 at Emergency Care Services in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Health communication served as the theoretical background for this research. Results. Two main thematic categories were highlighted: (i) Resignifications of communication in the work relationships of the health team and (ii) Guided listening to users by nurses at the Emergency Care Services during the pandemic. Conclusion. The experience revealed an excerpt of what is found under the conditions of the current situation resulting from COVID-19. Communication turned into an essential tool to maintain professional relationships and culminate in collaboration and cooperation of theteam in order to provide a close relationship with the user and promote the quality of health care processes.
Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at the frontline of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic response, yet there is a paucity of literature on their knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) in relation to the pandemic. Community Health Workers (CHWs) in Mozambique are known locally as agentes polivalentes elementares (APEs). While technical guidance surrounding COVID-19 is available to support APEs, communicating this information has been challenging due to restrictions on travel, face-to-face group meetings and training, imposed from May to August 2020. A digital health platform, upSCALE, that already supports 1,213 APEs and 299 supervisors across three provinces, is being used to support APEs on effective COVID-19 management by delivering COVID-19 sensitive SMS messages, training modules and a COVID-19 KAP survey. The KAP survey, conducted from June 2020 to August 2020, consisted of 10 questions. Of 1,065 active upSCALE APEs, 28% completed the survey. Results indicate that only a small proportion of APEs listed the correct COVID-19 symptoms, transmission routes and appropriate prevention measures (n = (25%), n = (16%) and n = (39%), respectively) specifically included in national health education materials. Misconceptions were mainly related to transmission routes, high risk individuals and asymptomatic patients. 84% said they followed all government prevention guidelines. The results from the KAP survey were used to support the rapid development and deployment of targeted COVID-19 awareness and education materials for the APEs. A follow-up KAP survey is planned for November 2020. Adapting the existing upSCALE platform enabled a better understanding, in real time, of the KAP of APEs around COVID-19 management. Subsequently, supporting delivery of tailored messages and education, vital for ensuring a successful COVID-19 response.

O pré-natal de alto risco apresenta-se como importante processo de prevenção e tratamento de morbidade durante a gravidez. Esta pesquisa objetivou conhecer o papel do enfermeiro no atendimento ao pré-natal de alto risco realizado na atenção secundária. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo qualitativo de caráter exploratório descritivo, desenvolvido nas policlínicas de referência de cinco regiões de saúde que compõem a macrorregião de Sobral, Ceará, Brasil. A coleta das informações ocorreu entre agosto e setembro de 2015, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, com oito enfermeiros que trabalham na atenção secundária, onde é realizado o pré-natal de alto risco. Os resultados foram discutidos por meio da análise temática e apontaram que o enfermeiro atua timidamente no acompanhamento de gestantes na atenção secundária, embora consiga perceber que seu papel nessa assistência pode e necessita ser ampliado. A atuação desse profissional na área pode ganhar potência com o acolhimento, a educação em saúde e a consulta de enfermagem. Assim, concluiu-se que há necessidade de discussão sobre políticas públicas que possam respaldar a assistência dos enfermeiros durante o atendimento do pré-natal de alto risco na atenção secundária, buscando o desenvolvimento de condutas legalmente amparadas nos serviços de saúde que compõem a rede pública. Palavras-chave: Enfermagem. Atenção secundária à saúde. Gravidez de alto risco. Papel profissional.
Introdução: a pandemia da Covid-19 determinou mudanças na linha de cuidado obstétrico, o que tem influenciado a saúde dos profissionais de enfermagem. Objetivo: relatar uma experiência em saúde ocupacional da enfermagem em cuidados críticos obstétricos durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Síntese de conteúdo: relato de experiência focado nos profissionais de uma maternidade referência do Ceará, Brasil, durante as atividades na unidade de terapia intensiva ante a pandemia da Covid-19. Há precarização das condições de trabalho, agravadas pelas singularidades exigidas nos cuidados críticos em obstetrícia. Os profissionais de enfermagem têm vivenciado situações que causam lesões físicas e sofrimento mental, o que pode afetar negativamente suas atividades laborais. Conclusões: há necessidade da implementação de ações de mitigação das repercussões negativas para os profissionais de enfermagem envolvidos com cuidados críticos obstétricos durante e após a fase crítica da pandemia.
