Estudo descritivo qualitativo com o objetivo de compreender a percepção de pais e acompanhantes sobre o emprego do Brinquedo Terapêutico no preparo da criança para a punção venosa ambulatorial, realizado em um ambulatório da cidade de São Paulo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com oito pais ou acompanhantes de crianças preparadas para a punção venosa com o Brinquedo Terapêutico e, após, submetidos à análise qualitativa de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciaram que eles aprovam essa estratégia de preparo e acreditam que esta favorece o conhecimento sobre o procedimento, diminui o medo, acalma e promove a segurança deles e da criança, além de constituir-se em um atendimento de enfermagem humanizado e de qualidade à criança e família. Reitera-se a importância da implementação do Brinquedo Terapêutico na assistência à criança em ambulatórios e unidades básicas de saúde.
RESUMO Objetivos Compreender o significado do cuidar do filho para a mãe adolescente menor, desvelar as demandas para o cuidado e construir um Modelo Teórico sobre essa vivência. Método Pesquisa qualitativa: adotou-se o Interacionismo Simbólico como referencial teórico e a Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados, como metodológico. Participaram do estudo nove mães adolescentes. Técnica de coleta de dados: entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas de setembro de 2008 a setembro de 2011, na consulta de enfermagem em puericultura do Centro Assistencial Cruz de Malta, instituição filantrópica da Cidade de São Paulo/ Brasil. Resultados A análise dos dados levou à construção do Modelo Teórico, Enfrentando uma experiência difícil mesmo com apoio. Conclusão A experiência revelou que as dificuldades para cuidar, mesmo com ajuda, não são supridas, apenas amenizadas e que as mães adolescentes não apresentam maturidade para superar essa vivência.
Objective: To describe and analyze nursing diagnoses established on newborns’ medical consultations in a primary health care service. Method: Descriptive, analytical and quantitative study performed in a primary health care clinic in São Paulo. Data were collected from the medical records of 37 children treated in 39 nursing consultations during their neonatal period. The identified nursing diagnoses were analyzed regarding: frequency, classification in strengthening or exhaustion in light of the health-disease process, and the correspondence with the essential needs of infants. Results: 372 diagnoses were identified, most of them of strengthening (71%), such as efficient development (n = 37) and effective growth (n = 36). Among the exhaustion diagnoses (29%), there was a predominance of risk for suffocation (n = 15) and impaired tissue integrity (n = 14). Most diagnoses corresponded to the need of physical protection and security. Conclusion: Families are strengthened in the care of the essential needs of newborns, however, preventing diseases is necessary.
The introduction of routine vaccination against tetanus and diphtheria in Brazil has decreased the incidence and changed the epidemiology of both diseases. We then investigated the prevalence of Corynebacterium diphtheriae carrier status and diphtheria and tetanus immunity in São Paulo, Brazil. From November 2001 to March 2003, 374 individuals were tested for the presence of C. diphtheriae in the nasooropharynx and of serum diphtheria and tetanus antibodies. Participants were all healthy individuals without acute or chronic pathologies and they were stratified by age as follows: 0-12 months and 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-24, 25-39, 40-59, and ≥60 years. Antibodies were assessed using a double-antigen ELISA. C. diphtheriae species were identified by biochemical analysis and toxigenicity was assessed by the Elek test. For diphtheria, full protection (antibodies ≥0.1 IU/mL) was present in 84% of the individuals, 15% had basic protection (antibodies ≥0.01 and <0.1 IU/mL) and 1% were susceptible (antibodies <0.01 IU/mL). Full tetanus protection (antibodies ≥0.1 IU/mL) was present in 79% of the participants, 18% had basic protection (antibodies ≥0.01 and <0.1 IU/mL) and 3% were susceptible (antibodies <0.01 IU/mL). The geometric mean of diphtheria and tetanus antibodies reached the highest values at 5-9 years and decreased until the 40-59-year age range, increasing again in individuals over 60 years. Three participants (0.8%) were carriers of C. diphtheriae, all non-toxigenic strains. The present results demonstrate the clear need of periodic booster for tetanus and diphtheria vaccine in adolescents and adults after primary immunization in childhood.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
